Excuses and a Mini Haul!

Helloo!

Ok, so I can officially be called the worst 'blogger' ever, infact, I don't even deserve that title! anyway, I'm going to try and start up again, with more frequent posts and stuff, fingers crossed I achieve it this time!

So, I went to France on the 24th July for 2 weeks and was really excited, I know this is sad, but I was really excited about going to duty free. Now, we were going on a ferry there, but in my previous haul, I'd gone on a ferry to Spain and there was a huge duty free shop there so it was all good. However, my friend who I went with, didn't tell me we were going on fast track which means NO duty free apart from perfume...and Clinique stuff, SO, I decided to get the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion after I heard a lot about through Youtube and other blogs.
Well it did not disappoint! You need one tiny pump of it to cover your whole face and it leaves your skin feeling SO soft! It's amazing and I'm so glad I splurged and bought it!

We then went to a shopping area in Brittany and there was a SEPHORA. I was SO excited! Now, it was quite a small one so there wasn't loads and loads of stuff but still, oh my god, it was so good!

As an eyeshadow junkie, I wanted to try the Make Up Forever cream eyeshadows so I decided to this gorgeous shimmery brown colour in shade 15. I felt a bit guilty after buying it because it was 19 euros which is what, £15?! which is expensive for one little eyeshadow, I know. BUT! It's amazing! You need the tiniest bit ever to go all over your lid, its so pigmented seriously and its waterproof so it was great for when I wanted to go in the sea or the pool and not look like a complete moron with no make up on at all!

I was really impressed with the prices of the Sephora own brand make up, but I was a little wary of whether it was going to be any good.
I decided to get this really pretty pink lipstick, although it looked so much bigger in the packaging that it actually is!!! I really really like it though! It's really moisturising and feels super nice on and it smells so good..not as good as Mac lipsticks though!

I then got a little Sephora black eyeliner which is really pigmented, love it!

The last thing I got from Sephora were these nail transfer things, there were quite a few patterns but I thought this floral one was really sweet, but I think I'm going to use them too put just on my ring finger? I'm not sure yet..

FINALLY! When I got home, I had quite a few euro's left so I got them changed back and spent some of them on these 2 Barry M nail varnishes. 2 for £4.99 so I thought it would be rude not to. I'm very late jumping on the bandwagon here but I got Peach Melba, which I wasn't sure on when I first applied it but I really love it now! I also got Pink Flamingo which looks really pretty.

So, this was super long, really sorry, trying to make up for my failed blogging!

Thanks for reading!

What's your favourite?

Hey guys!

Recently, with the help of watching many a youtube beauty video I came across some totally legitimate discount OPI and China Glaze nail varnishes wesbites! Don't ask me how they get them to be so cheap or why but what I do know is that they are totally legal so don't be at all worried to buy from there.

The reason for this post was I am wanting to buy quite a few of them at once, saving on P&P and all that jazz and I was just wondering what your favourite varnishes from the two brands are?

My ABSOLUTE favourites at the moment are OPI Sweetheart(top left) and OPI No Spain No Gain(top right)! Just so cute!

So PLEASE leave a comment down below telling me your favourites, would appreciate it greatly as there are SO many to choose from! Seriously!

Hope your having a great weekend and I'll speak to you soon!

Make Up Haul!

Hey guys!

So last week I went to Barcelona on a school trip and it was SO good. I loved it!

Along with holidays, comes duty free, and I went slightly crazy in the make up section...! So this post is just basically a haul on the products I got..enjoy!



The outside of the box..



Warning, some pictures are dodgy in the quality department :(

The first thing I picked up was the 'I Heart New York' Urban Decay eyeshadow pallette! I simply had to get this as soon as I got it, not only for the amazing eyeshadows but for the PACKAGING!






Don't ask me why it isnt the right way round, it was portrait on my computer...stupid blogspot >.<

 But seriously, how AMAZING is that! Lights and everything! I think it is so cute! I love it!

Aswell, as 16 gorgeous colours, it came with 2 eyeliners, one black, one purple, and a mini primer potion pot so for £26 I thought it was really good!

 Secondly, I got a pack of Benefit lipglosses which are all  super shimmery and really useful if you want to different colours for night and day yet you don't want to lug round loads of different lip products. My favourite is actually the one hidden under the plactic cover, but it's a really neutral, everyday gloss, I love it! Again, the packaging is gorgeous, really unique...I think I'm a little obsessed with the packaging of stuff, yes?! So yeah, I think these were £16 so quite pricey!! The lighting is rubbish on this picture but its better than nothing  suppose!

I also got 2 OPI nail varnishes in duty free on the way there! One was a really hot pink which was only £6.40 as they were no longer making them anymore so I quickly snapped it up! The other, was £9.40 which is still cheaper than high street stores and it was a shimmery, metallic, silver colour. I LOVE it. Its definitely the best polish colour I've ever bought!

Whilst I was in Barcelona, we had a chance to visit this absolutely huge department store, so I stopped off at Mac and bought a highlighter and a creamy gold eyeliner pencil. I haven't actually ever had a highlighter before but my friend so they're really good, and it was a little cheaper than buying it over here so I got one! Ooops! Double oops when I found out the price was 26 euros! Ouch..!

Lastly, on the way back, I was really tired and a little sad that I was coming home and then suddenly, I saw this, and I actually almost screamed a little bit. THE NAKED URBAN DECAY PALLETTE WAS IN STOCK THERE! I got WAY too excited about this, I actually started hugging it abit, especially because I only had half the money that I needed for it, but then one of my friends kindly gave me the other half so I could get it as I was almost breaking down! I have been waiting for so long for this to come back in stock in the UK or even the USA so I was so excited when I got this. The colours are amazing, AMAZING. This was £23 but I dont even care that it was a lot of money, I just love it!!

Aaaand that's it! You may now think I'm a little crazy, which I kind of admit too but anyway! I hope you enjoyed this haul! I may keep doing these actually, I quite enjoyed it!

Smoky Black Eye Look!

Hey guys!

Happy New Year!

So, in this post I'm going to be telling you about this make up set that I got for Christmas!

It's called Beauty Confidential and it's exclusive to House of Fraser.It has 4 different eyeshadows, a shimmery brown, a matte black, a really light baby pink and a silvery metal colour which are all really cute! It also come with a black eyeshadow, a black mascara and an applicating brush.

In the box that it comes with, it has a step by step guide on how to get 'the look' which, if you're like me, who kind of needs to have a guide, a list or a tutorial in front of them when doing something a little bit complicated, it's so great! It tells you where to put it, whether it's in the crease of your eye for example, it gives you little tips on what to do for the rest of your make up and what to wear with it so overall it's a really great set to have!

The only thing that isn't great is the mascara, I used the one from the set the first time I used the set and it didn't really volumise or lengthen my lashes at all so I'd just stick to wearing your normal one. (I'm using the  Big Fake Lashes one from Collection 2000 at the moment which is only £4.99 and I LOVE it!)
I have found the link to the Bronze Goddess set, I can't seem to find the exact same one that I have but I've just ordered this one as its at a bargain price at the moment!

This one has 2 different looks you can create which looks amazing!

An Eyeshadow Spectacular!

Hey guys! It's nearly Christmas time! Yay! To kill some time, so Christmas comes even quicker, I'm going to review the 88 Warm Pallette which you can get from Coastal Scents for $25.

In the set are 42 matte shades and the rest are pearl and shimmery(my favourite!!). The colours in the pallette are greens, silvery blues, rich plum and lots and lots of brown shades which I just think are all so pretty whatever skintone or eyecolour you may have. The pigmentation of the eyeshadows are so great and there are a couple of highlight colours for the inner eye and brow line aswell!

You can obviously create so many different looks with this pallette, with icy shimmer blues to warm pearl plum, it is your 'go to for any occasion' pallette.

The one thing you do need is a primer(I recommend the Urban Decay one) as they do come off quite easily which is really the only downside to this product.

I've fallen in love with this product and I think you guys will too!

Maybelline Dream Creamy Foundation!

Hey guys! Before I begin I do just want to apologise for the terrible picture quality of the product, I'm in the middle of buying a new camera so I've had to use my old webcam so, sorry!

ANYWAY, I want to start my blog with a review on a product that I have just fallen head over heels in love with! Maybelline Dream Creamy Foundation is a drugstore product at an absolute bargain price of £7.99.

My skin is really sensitive so I always have to be really careful when I try new products but I've been using this foundation for 3 months now and it's fantastic!  It's application is super easy, it makes your skin look flawless and if like me, you have a few little spots and things, it's just what you want!!

The ONLY critisicm that I have to make about the foundation is that it does wear off after 4 or 5 hours so you do have to top it up, but then again, it is small enough to pop in your bag!

Ciao for now!
