My new favourite dark lipstick...for £1?!

So last week I popped into my local Poundland to pick up some bits and pieces, and I noticed that they had a new makeup stand by the brand Makeup Gallery. I have never heard about this brand before, and let's face it, how good can a £1 lipstick really be right? But boy was I impressed! I picked up the All About the Pout Colour Moisture lipstick in 18 black cherry and I am totally in love. 

This is the most gorgeous deep red ever! Although it is slightly on the berry side, it's still a definite red, well to me anyways! 

I'm so excited by this find that I feel like going back and buying every single colour and maybe even some other bits and pieces from the brand too. I mean £1?! Seriously?! It's gorgeous! So moisturising on the lips and gorgeous colour payoff. I am seriously impressed.

Coloured Contact Lenses! (MyCosmeticLenses)

 Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't been posting much recently - moving house is so stressful! I do have a list of things I'd like to share with you and they will be coming soon, lots of new things to talk about! Anyway, I have been looking at getting some coloured contact lenses recently, and after a bit of research I think this brand sounds pretty damn amazing! I'm a massive Geordie Shore fan so the fact that Marnie Simpson wears this brand of contact lenses particularly excited me! Below is some information on the brand MyCosmenticLenses in case you were interested. Have any of you guys heard of this brand before? Or have you ever tried wearing coloured contact lenses before? Let me know!

Ciao for now! B xx

We also have a special 1 tone range with Geordie Shore Marnie Simpson, who has been wearing coloured contact lenses for many years.

Lush Space Girl Bath Bomb Review

 It was my birthday on Sunday, and I was very lucky to receive some gorgeous products from my close friends from LUSH! I have been a Lush fan for as long as I can remember, so I was delighted to open my prezzies and see some of my favourite products and some products that I haven't tried before. One product that I received and hadn't tried is the Space Girl bath bomb. It looks amazing and the reviews and description online made it sound pretty great too, so here's my thoughts on the product!

Space Girl Bath Bomb

The bomb itself is so pretty! It's a gorgeous lilac colour with hot pink/red glitter over it. It smells really fruity and girly, which is great for me as I much prefer fruity scents over floral.

As soon as I popped it into my bath, it got to work straight away. My bathwater turned into a mixture of two very vibrant colours shown on the photo above, and not just my bathroom but my bedroom also filled with the most gorgeous scent! On the Lush website, the scent is described as a 'sweet and fruity fragrance' which I 100% agree with. The website also said that the main ingredients of this bath bomb are grapefruit oil, bergamot oil and almond essential oil. All of these three ingredients have amazing qualities and it felt good knowing that the product was doing good for both my skin and hair, but also the bergamot oil was acting as aromatherapy too. Another key ingredient to keep in mind is popping candy! This is meant to act as 'space dust' and it definitely added a little extra to my bath, although I did wait until it had finished popping before I got in, haha!

 

Overall I would 100% recommend this product. I feel like it did good things to my skin, and it was also very fun and quite a good way to lift your mood! I will definitely be purchasing another one of these babies! 

Thanks for reading guys! Ciao for now

Collective Haul!

Hello everybody! Over the past month or so I have treated myself to some new make up bits that I thought might be of interest to you. I decided to do a collective haul instead of loads of tiny hauls because I felt like I didn't buy enough things to haul in any one shopping trip haha!

I'll start off with what I am most excited about! After doing a bit of shopping at Meadowhall with my friend, I came across the Urban Decay shop. I must have gone in there at least twice before I caved and decided to buy the original Naked palette. I've been umming and arring for quite some time about whether or not to start my Naked Palette collection because being a student, £37 is quite expensive! Even so, it didn't stop me caving and buying the original, along with a Primer Potion in Sin. I don't regret my purchases, despite the price tag. I have used both of them every day since my purchase around 2 weeks ago! I completely understand the hype. Enjoy some crap photographs of the products and swatches below.

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin

The next item was actually a gift from my Mum from when she went travelling to Germany last month. She is such a babe, and I'm so grateful! It is the famous YSL Touche Eclat. I haven't given this a proper test drive yet, because as it was a gift I don't want to over use it! But from the couple times I have used it, I love it. I find it works best as a highlighting concealer and wouldn't use it for spot and blemish concealing. I really love applying it down the sides of my mouth to make my lips stand out when I'm wearing a bold colour! Sorry about the finger prints on the photo, do you know how hard it is to clean it off cardboard?!

YSL Touche Eclat

I decided to pick up some new lip colours (because I clearly don't have enough..) because summer is on its way and I'm obsessed with brights at the moment! I found this gorgeous coral baby pink colour by Collection called 'Sweet Tart'. I am absolutely loving this at the moment, and it looks gorgeous with bronzed up skin. 

Collection Lipstick in Sweet Tart

After seeing the Rita Ora collection advertised for Rimmel I just had to try one of the Colour Rush Balms. I was not disappointed! The formula of these are absolutely gorgeous. They smell like vanilla (like the MAC lipsticks) and have awesome staying power. They leave a glossy finish that doesn't slide off the lips too. I can see myself collecting them all pretty soon!

Rimmel Colour Rush Balm in Rumour Has It

The next lip colour is the a neutral lipstick from the brand 'Look'. I've never seen the brand before but I saw there was an offer on this brand's makeup in Superdrug and I couldn't resist the cute packaging. The lipstick itself is a little slippy, but I can work with it. Gorgeous neutral! 

LOOK lipstick in Shade 6 'Petal Nude'

My final lip colour is this Super Stay 24 Hour Bold Matte lip colour in Prune Plaisir and it is seriously the brightest colour I own! It pretty much has the same formula as any other of Maybelline's Super Stay lip colour line, but this dies matte. I love it! I love the balm that comes with it to stop it looking dry. I think I will be getting a lot of use out of this, this summer. 

24 hour Bold Matte Lip Colour in Prune Plaisir

Browsing the MUA stand at Superdrug, I noticed that their powder highlighter was finally back in stock so I snapped it up straight away. I've heard amazing reviews over this product but I haven't properly tested it yet. When swatched it looks amazing though! I also picked up two of MUA's powder blushes. I already own a couple of these blushes and absolutely love them, and at £1 you literally cannot go wrong! I picked up two colours that I own nothing of. A gorgeous bright pink that I think will look nice with a tan, and a neutral pink colour for when I don't want a strong cheek.

Finally, I thought I would try one of Rimmel's mascaras. The always have loads of versions of this mascara and they have been around for ages, but I just haven't tried it before. I love the brush on this! It is curved and has different sized bristles on it. The formula coats each lash and makes them look so long and voluminous. In love! 

Hope you enjoyed this guys! What have you been buying recently? :)

Head Pieces Galore!

Hello everyone! If you're a student, you'll know that it's coming to the end of this academic year, meaning that almost everyone is too busy to do anything and are all going mad in a flustered attempt to finish all of their coursework, ready for summer to begin. I am most definitely in that category! Even so, I couldn't help myself by wanting to show you all my new obsession..head pieces! I've not seen too many people wear these yet, but I am absolutely in love with them! I can't remember where I got the idea to hunt one down from, but boy I am so happy I did. I just think that they look so cool and boho chic! I picked up both of mine from Claire's Accessories, as that's the only shop that I can seem to find them in! 

What do you guys think? Have you seen these around in any other shops? Let me know! I am craaazy obsessed.

Again, apologies for lack of posts. I am a seriously sh*t blogger. Although, I do have a current favourites coming up, and boy have I made some investments! 

Ciao for now!

My Current Favourite Foundation Picks

As I haven't blogged in ages, I thought what better way to catch up then to tell you all my favourite products at the moment?! If you didn't know already, I am very much a drug-store girl. I can spend hours browsing the shelves of Boots and Superdrug, not to mention that it's affordable for a student on a budget!

This post is going to be my top three current foundation picks. They are all widely available in the UK and also very affordable!

Rimmel Match Perfection, Rimmel Wake Me Up, Seventeen Stay Time
(As you can see, they are all well loved!)

Rimmel Match Perfection (010 Light Porcelain)

This is by far my favourite foundation ever. I love absolutely everything about it! It is described as a light perfecting radiance foundation and I'd say it lives up to its name. This foundation makes my skin look simply flawless, and has a slight hint of a dewy effect without being too shiny. It has awesome staying power, meaning I can pop this on in the morning and it will still look fresh by the time I get back in the evening. It is a liquid foundation, but very blend-able! It also smells like cucumber! This retails for £6.99.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation (100 Ivory)

I wasn't too keen on this foundation when I first got it, I thought that it made me look greasy and shiny! However I have found this foundation works best when you're having a 'good skin day' and when used lightly. It is described as an anti-fatigued effect & radiant glow foundation, and I certainly agree! This foundation leaves my skin looking beautifully glowy and dewy with only one thin layer. The only problem with this is that the lightest shade I could find is 100 Ivory, and it is a shade too dark for me, so I think I will have to save this for summer! This foundation retails for £8.99.

Seventeen Stay Time 25 Hour Foundation (Porcelain)

This foundation originally stood out to me because of it's claims to stay put for up to 25 hours (although I have never felt the need to wear foundation for that long...) and being a busy uni student this sounded very appealing! This foundation is a favourite mainly because of it's coverage. This bad boy will cover ANYTHING! From redness and blemishes to scarring and dark circles, after one layer they have disappeared. It leaves your skin looking absolute flawless, the perfect canvas to get creative with the rest of your makeup. I know that this brand is supposed to appeal to teenagers, but I kid you not this stuff is gold. This retails for £6.49.


Hope you enjoyed this guys! More posts coming soon! Ciao for now, B x.x.x.x

Sinful Colours Nail Varnishes

Hello everyone, happy Friday! Today whilst browsing Boots, I came across a beautiful stand of nail varnishes called Sinful Colours. What caught my attention about these particular varnishes was the gorgeous array of different colours! From pastels, to chunky glitters and neons. It was simply beautiful! When I noticed that the nail varnishes were only £1.99 each I had to grab a few to try! Here are my thoughts on them.

Left to right
Cinderella, Unicorn, Pinky Glitter, Easy Going

Cinderella

This is a gorgeous sky blue colour with tiny specks of pink and silver shimmer in it. The first coat came out quite streaky and thin so I couldn't really see the blue, but after a second coat is was much more opaque. I am absolutely in love with this colour and I think it is perfect for spring! 

Unicorn
Again, this is certainly not a one coat wonder, however the second coat reveals a gorgeous pastel yellow colour. Again, perfect for spring! I think this would look really nice on an accent nail teamed with 'Cinderella'! 

Pinky Glitter

This one is probably my favourite out of all four of them. A gorgeous Barbie pink with a mixture of silver, gold and pink glitter in it! Perfect for the typical girly girl. This again needed two coats, but the results are beautiful! None of the glitter clumped together and the pink colour was really opaque. This could also be used as a top coat with a different shade of pink! 

Easy Going

I am a big fan of pale nails as it is, so when I saw this colour I had to have it. When I want light nails I normally go for my snowy white colour, but this pale pink is a lovely alternative! This particular colour would work with only one coat, as it is very opaque, but if you really want them to pop I'd probably go for two! 

These nail varnishes are currently in offer in Boots for 3 for £4 which is an absolute bargain! Hope you enjoyed this post guys, be sure to comment if you've tried any nail varnishes from this brand before!

E.L.F Haul & Review

Hello everybody! I've recently become obsessed with the makeup brand ELF (eyeslipsface). I've found that their products are such good quality for their price, I can't quite believe it. Being a student, it's hard for me to resist a beauty bargain. These products are all very affordable, in fact, this is my third order from ELF! They have recently had another 50% off sale to celebrate their 10th birthday, so I thought I would treat myself. Here is a review of all the products I bought on this order, hope you enjoy! (Please note that you can only order ELF online if you are in the UK so delivery charges may apply if you're ordering) www.eyeslipsface.co.uk

Swatches

The first thing I added to my basket was this gorgeous little eye shadow palette. There was a different one I had my eye on, but considering its almost Christmas, it was out of stock. So I ordered this little beauty instead. This is called the 'Little Black Beauty Book' in the colour 'Warm'. They also had one in 'Cool' which had loads of brights and another one called 'Festive' which I think is exclusive to this time of year. As you can see this palette has loads of wearable neutrals, but also some brights too. I was really impressed with the colour selection in this, I can see that I'm going to get plenty of use out of it! When I swatched them, I was also very impressed by the quality of the actual product. Some of the lighter colours may need to be built up in order to show the colour in the pan, but most of the medium to dark colours and also the brights are very pigmented, easy to blend and work with and not chalky at all. The actual palette came with a useful little mirror and also a double ended sponge applicator, although I really don't like them and are useless to me. Really impressed with this one! This palette retails for £8.00. Click here to buy.

The next thing I ordered is a lipstick from the Essentials range. On my first I order I got 2 of these just to try as the price is amazing. This colour is called 'Sociable' and is the most gorgeous hot pink colour. It has a little bit or red in it also, and it is a matte finish. The first two I ordered are the most pigmented lipsticks I think I have EVER tried. They're so creamy and glide on the lips like a dream, so it was inevitable that I want to build up my collection of these amazing finds. This particular colour is gorgeous and I don't own anything quite like it. I am definitely going to expand my collection of Elf Essential lipsticks, I can't get enough! These lipsticks retail for £1.50 each, click here to buy. 

Swatch of Blushing Rose 

I've recently decided that I want to expand my blush collection, I only have a couple that I actually like and use so I thought it would be nice to pick one up as a starting point. This blush is from the studio line and is called 'Blushing Rose'. It is a lovely muted rose pink colour with tiny flecks of gold shimmer in it, although I must say that it is barely noticeable on the skin, which is fine by me as I don't like to look like a disco ball. This product is really pigmented, and I think it is the perfect shade for a winter blush. I think I will get a lot of use out of this! The packaging for the blushes are also very comparable to the Nars packaging. This isn't a deal-breaker for me as it is whats inside that counts (haha) but I must say that I was impressed, it is very sturdy! Each blush retails for £3.75, click here to buy. 

The next thing I ordered is a pair of false lashes. I am really into false lashes, I love the way they look and they make me feel really 'done up' when I wear them, but I don't like them for every day makeup looks. I thought I would try a pair as they're super cheap and there is nothing wrong with trying something new! The lashes themselves look really lovely and fluttery. I like to wear eyeliner on my top lash line when I wear lashes so the black rim won't be a problem for me, but they may be to others. However, I tried the eyelash glue on my fingers to see how sticky it might be, and its a shame because it just dried and wasn't sticky at all. I normally wear lashes from EyeLure and I still have some glue from them so I will use that glue, but apart from that, I can't wait to try them! These lashes retail for £1.50, click here to buy! 

I ordered a couple more brushes, after being blown away by the quality of the previous brushes I have ordered from ELF. (Blogpost on previous ELF orders coming soon) This paricular brush, the Powder Brush, is so lovely. The bristles are lovely and soft, and it is so dense, I just know that it will be perfect for powder products, but also for buffing in foundation. It is a lovely size for both. It has a lovely handle and is really comfortable to use, it feels way more expensive then it is! By far one of my favourite purchases. This brush retails for £3.75 (a steal!) and you can buy it here. 

Finally, I purchased the Angled Contour Brush from the studio range. I actually didn't own a contour brush for my eyes so I thought it would be a lovely brush to add to my collection. The bristles are also very soft and dense, but not so dense that you can't blend with it. I've tested it a few times now and I am also very impressed with it! It blends powder eye shadow beautiful and fits perfectly in my crease for contouring and blending. I think that it is also a really good size for contouring maybe your nose or if you're wanting to do precise contouring on the cheeks. It may even be the perfect size for blending concealer under the eyes! I think I may have to stock up on a couple of these babies! This brush retails for £3.75 and you can buy it here. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this review and haul, let me know if you like posts like this and i'll be sure to post some more! Happy holidays! B xxx

Maybelline Babylips Review

When Maybelline brought out the Baby Lips range, the world of internet beauty blogging went wild! After seeing a review featured on everyone's blog, it seemed I was missing out by not owning one. So, I did what every beauty blogger would do..get my hands on one! I picked up Pink Punch from my local Boots store. After using this lip balm for a fair few weeks,  I have come to the conclusion that yes it's pretty and it smells nice, but I'm not too sure all the reviews are accurate.

I had to reapply the lip balm every hour or so, even though one of the selling points of Baby Lips is the 8 hour hydration. The colour payoff was quite nice as it stains the lips, and also the smell was a nice bonus. But as a hydrating lip balm, I really don't think that it was worth the hype. Maybe it was this particular flavour? Who knows. Can any of you guys recommend me your favourite Baby Lips that actually sticks to it's promise?

Ciao for now! B x.x

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush

Real Techniques is a make up brush brand made my Samantha Chapman who is one of the Pixiwoo sisters. 
I have had my eye on this brush for ages as it's really popular and always have fabulous reviews. This brush really lives up to its name! I use it for blending my concealer and my foundation and it always leaves me with a flawless, even and polished finish. 

I was a little put off at the price..I know £10 for a brush doesn't seem like a lot but I'm sort of weird and didn't want a whole £10 to be wasted. After seeing the results this brush left me with, let me tell you that it is so worth the price. It has the look of a high end brush but it still affordable. 

The brush is widely available, so I will leave some links below where you can get it. 

Hope you enjoy using it! Ciao for now .x.

Product Review: Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly Review

Hello guys! I've been a fan of Lush for so many years so I'm pretty familiar with their products. Their shower jellies have always been one of my fave products from Lush, but this one in particular is absolutely amazing!

Shower jellies sound like such a weird concept, but they're so cool. I was absolutely amazed when I first discovered them. This one called Sweetie Pie is absolutely gorgeous. It is a lovely purple colour with tiny bits of glitter in it, but that's not what made me fall in love with it. The scent is so gorgeous! It says that it has cherries and coconuts in it, but I couldn't really smell the coconuts. It just smells so lovely and sweet and it stays on your skin all day. I think I paid around £3.00 for my tub of it, which is a complete bargain as it has lasted well over a month with still about half of it left!

Even if you're not too keen on the jelly..go into your local Lush shop and just smell this. I'm positive you'll be buying it in seconds!

My Current Everyday Makeup Routine!

Hello everyone! As I have already mentioned, I love makeup! Completely obsessed with it. I am forever watching YouTube videos on my favourite beauty gurus and whenever I go shopping I always find myself in Boots or Superdrug (UK Drug store type shops) checking out new products. I love reading/watching videos and posts on different people's everyday makeup. So I decided to do mine! Mine changes quite often, I like to try new products or go back to products that have really impressed me. When it comes to everyday makeup, I probably only have a couple staples that are permanently in my makeup bag. Hope you enjoy!

W7 Prime Magic Face Primer

So after I have cleansed, toned or exfoliated and moisturized my skin, I like to use a primer before I put any makeup on my face. The primer that I use is the W7 Prime Magic Face Primer in Camera Ready Purple. To start off with, I only used this if I was off on a night out. However I've found that it is a staple for my everyday makeup look and has sneaked its way into my everyday routine! Primer is great for creating a smooth base for your foundation to go onto. It also keeps your makeup in place for a long time. This primer promises to leave you with a smooth and flawless complexion, and I'd certainly agree! 

Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow

After I have put primer all over my face, I put my foundation on. I'm one of those lucky ones that can get away without wearing concealer (although I do have them for emergencies). The foundation that I'm using at the moment is Benefit's Hello Flawless Oxgyen Wow in Ivory ("I'm pure 4 sure"). I love this product as it is really build-able and stays put all day. This foundation promises to brighten up your face. I'm not too sure if it does this, as I never just wear foundation on it's own (I use powder almost always) but it does give my skin a really nice, almost dewy finish. I'm not one for high end make up as such as I much prefer the array (and cost!!) of drugstore makeup. However, this was left at my flat from a friend and I have given a nice home in my makeup bag. I use my fingertips to apply this foundation as whenever I have used a brush, it is always streaky!! (Any good foundation brush suggestions will be highly appreciated!!) 

Eco Tools Bamboo Blush Brush

Eco Tools Bamboo Eye Shadow Brush 

Eye Lash Curlers (I have no idea where mine are from) 

I am pretty simple when it comes to brushes and tools for my everyday look. As I've said, I use my fingertips to apply my foundation and primer. A good quality powder brush is deffo a must for me..even application is key! I'm using Eco Tools Bamboo Blush Brush as it's a really good size and reaches in all of the corners. It is so soft and apparently eco friendly too! Bonus! The same goes with my Eco Tools Eye Shadow Brush. The bristles really grab onto the product until you apply onto your eyes, and the brush is quite good at blending too! I have no idea where I got my eyelash curlers, but using them makes my lashes look longer and perkier which is always nice! 

MUA Pressed Powder in Shade 4

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Translucent 001

When it comes to setting my foundation, Rimmel's Stay Matte Pressed Powder is my go-to product. It stays on for absolutely ages and when combined with my Eco-Tools Blush brush, it goes onto my face really evenly. During the summer when I am a little more tanned, I tend to use a darker pressed powder to either contour or bronze my face. At the moment I'm using MUA's Pressed Powder in shade 4 and it has become a very permanent staple to my makeup bag. After I have applied my foundation all over my face, I will evenly dust my Stay Matte Pressed Powder all over my face too. As you can see mine is very well loved and I am in desperate need of a new one! After that, I will get an angled face brush or the Eco Tools blush brush again, and lightly sweep MUA's Pressed powder into the hollows of my cheeks, up into my temples and (when I'm feeling brave) maybe a little down my nose and on my chin. 

Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown

Collection 2000 Kohl Eyeliner in shade 1

For my eyebrows, I really love Rimmel's Professional Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown. It is a wax based product so it stays on all day, but it has a really natural looking finish. I used to be really scared of doing anything to my eyebrows, but I've had my hair dark for a few years and having light brown brows did make me look a little odd. So I embraced the brow pencil! When doing my brows I literally just lightly fill them in with a sharp point on the pencil. Easy! However, if I want a stronger brow I might add the tiniest touch of a black kohl pencil. This one from Collection 200 (Now called Collection) does the trick. 

Ted Baker Beauty Eye Shadow "Can't Take My Eyes Off You"

Natural Collection Eye Shadow Duo in "Mocha/Latte"

These two products are what I always use on my eyes for my day time look without fail. My Ted Baker palette has a good mixture of matte and shimmer colours, although I hardly ever use the brights. I like to keep my eyes neutral during the day. The Natural Collection duo is a favourite too, I have repurchased it around 3 times now..and it's multi functional! The lighter colour 'Latte' I sometimes like to use as a highlighter. I'd sweep it over the tops of my cheek bones and underneath my brow on my brow bone. I'm not a huge fan of shimmery highlighters during the day. The 'Mocha' colour can also be used on my brows if I'm after a softer brow look. Together, they make a really gorgeous neutral smokey eye. 

Max Factor Clump Defy

Rimmel Scandal Eyes 

Mascara is a product that I'm always changing. I'm a little bit fussy when it comes to my lashes, I like them long, thick and even and I HATE clumps!! When Max Factor's Clump Defy came out, I knew I had to try it. It is the best mascara I have ever used to date. I love it! The wand is plastic and curved with tiny little bristles on, and the actual product - as promised- doesn't clump, no matter how many layers I put on! After playing around with different mascaras, I found that these two together work the best. My lashes look long and thick! I don't really have a special way of doing my mascara. Although I am prone to shake the wand a little bit through my lashes to separate them. 

Mac Viva Glam Gaga 2 in 'Amplified' 

Carmex Classics Moisturizing Lip Balm 

Keeping with the theme of neutrals, I tend to like a nude lip colour. One of my favourite combinations is Mac's Viva Glam Gaga 2 Amplified with Carmex underneath to make my lips nice and soft, and then on top again to add a glossy finish. Carmex is absolutely brilliant if you're prone to dry lips. It sorts them out within a minute and you can feel your lips tingling as soon as you put it on! It's also really affordable too. I'm in love with Mac lipsticks. I love their signature vanilla scent and their creamy finish. I don't have many lipsticks, probably around 3. But Viva Glam Gaga 2 is one that I find myself going to the most. 

And there you have it! Hope you enjoyed my everyday makeup routine. It was great to share with you which makeup products I use on a daily basis! If you've done a post like this, I'd love to see yours too! 

Ciao for now! :) .x.
