hellllllooooo , for some reason im in a really productive mood and am getting as many blog post's ready for the next few weeks as i can. even tho this is a few days late im sorry ive been busy .


                                          Not to many fave's this month !


    (Clean and clear exfoliating daily wash) -
     I have a review of this face wash here:


    (clinique high impact mascara sample) -
    This mascara is my all time favorite i just love the way it looks on my lashes .



    ( NYX blush in taupe )
    This is my new fave contor powder , and if you have pale skin i really recomend this product !.






  (b. pure micellar water) -

 This stuff is amazing at removing make up and dirt off of you're face. And is apparently a "Dupe"      for bioderma . Cannot confirm as i havent tried bioderma , But i believe they are very similar    products.



 (Maybelline baby lips in "cherry me ") -

 Love this stuff , its cheap and is a great tinted lip balm.



 BTW ,  i have twitter , feel free to follow me. WARNING i fangirl over band's a hell of a lot !

Another haul !

hello so ive been spending more money on beauty products this last week and heres what i bought !



                           (mac face and body foundation)  (£16.99)
  yes i stupidly bought mac face and body from ebay , yes i know, i know no need to tell me it might be fake i already know. It was my own fault i didnt bother to read into it properly and check i just purchassed it because it said genuine. which im pretty sure it isnt. Im trying to get my money back but yeah, i will let you know how that goes.

                 ( left - platinum   right - bronze )    ( £1.00 each ) 
On a happier note i got these two MUA eyeshadow's
the picture doesn't do the colour's any justice they are stunning.


                                             ( 2 for £2.50 )

I know this is boring but, these are just some cotton pads and cotton buds. But i thought these cotton buds were great for make up as they have a tapered end and a flat rounded end.  ive never seen any like this before .....

                       ( £ 1.80 each )        (top - £4.19 ) + ( bottom - £2.99 ) 

 yankee candle's in - turquoise sky and - clean cotton .   collection lasting finish concealer in - fair, rimmel brow gel this is just a plain clear one but the do sell tinted ones too.

   yeah that's it i guess the moral of this post is be very careful when purchasing make up off of ebay,                                                            or just don't do it your choice.

                                  hope everyone is having a good day !

Clean and clear exfoliating daily wash : REVIEW

Hey , so recently my skin has been braking out like mad, my skin looks terrible and so i went to find a new cleanser and moisturizer to see if  it had anything to do with the ones i was already using. I don't think it was any make up because iv hardly worn any so far this month.

So a few days ago i was on the superdrug website searching for a cleanser , superdrug are having a 3 for 2 on all cosmetics at the mo, which is a good deal so i recommend if you are buying anything beauty wise from superdrug check it out. I  always forget and miss out on offers like these :( which is annoying.

Anyway i found a cleanser i like the look of it was the clean and clear exfoliating daily wash, AND JUST OMG  the first time i used it ive never felt or seen my skin so smooth and clear and bright and even feeling moisturized.



As you may have guessed by its name it is a exfoliating face wash, and it has those tiny little micro beads in it, that help get rid of blackhead's, clean your pores and remove all the dirt and makeup.

One thing i wasn't sure i was happy with was the smell it has quite a strong smell when applying a bit like a mens aftershave, but after you wash it off it smells like baby powder. Which to be honest it is made by Jonson's who make all the baby products, so i guess that would make sense.
The baby powder smell i normally can't  stand on my face, ive bought face powders before that have a really strong baby powder smell, and i just cant use them. But after the first time you use it you really cannot smell anything at all.

Basically it's  amazing make's your skin feel soft and look great ! i really recommend you try this its such a lovely face wash and as far as i can tell its clearing up my break outs too. whoop !


                     thanks for reading , please give my blog a little follow
                     and im sorry i have been slacking on my blog recently,    
well really ive been slacking at everything, but im getting back into the swing of things now.
                                                      byeeeee

Benefit theyre real mascara - REVIEW

Hello, so benefit they're real mascara is one of the most popular and loved mascara's you can get  and everyone has tried it as have i. So I first tried this mascara when it first came out ages ago, but my thoughts are still the same.




 It's a very volumizing an thickening mascara, that is jet black in colour  which is great if you are looking for any of those things, although I have quite deep set eyes and full, long lashes so when I use this mascara my lashes actually get caught on my eyebrows sometime's, weird  I know.



It also feels quite heavy on my lashes, and when it get's wet it runs like a b*tch, with all that said i love this mascarra for going out but I don't tend to reach for it very often that's why I only buy sample sizes as it would dry up before I have used even half  and I don't like to waste things I've spent  money on especially considering the price of this mascara.
So overall I do really like this mascara but it is just a bit to much for me to use on a daily basis. Because I prefer a light weight natural looking mascara daily. But that is just me so let me know what your thoughts on this mascara are ?, also if you have any blog post ideas or suggestions let me know.


                       thanks for reading please give my blog a cheeky follow !

Rimmel scandal eyes thick and thin warterproof eyeliner REVIEW +SWATCHES

Eyeliner review time whoop !! .


liner is a must for me I don't feel a look is complete without my eyeliner especially liquid liner , now let's travel to the past wooooo !!! Ahhhhh ( just imagine it yeah ) back two weeks ago I was in desperate need of a new liquid liner and I saw the rimmel scandals eyes waterproof thick or thin liner. So of course I bought it .




First thing first the packaging is good , the liner tip is okay could be slightly longer as I find it easier to do my winged liner with a longer tip .


Now waterproofness ( is that even a word idk )  no no defiantly not ( any one get the reference no okay then.......) this liner is the most un waterproof I have ever used and it just transfers all over my lid and smudges all over the place and come on we all know that's never a good look , it even manages to transfer onto my bottom lash line .






Overall I was really disappointed with this eyeliner as I have read good things about it , and whilst wearing this liner I found my self , self consciously  wiping above and below my eye to try and clear any smudged liner all the time ,which is really annoying .


yeah so thanks for reading sorry its so long .

                                                                             byee

I'm lying I was too lazy to get out of bed so I just slept in till 5.00 o clock Thursday night then i decide to tidy and sort out my room . I guess technically I'm not lying.....butttt yeahhh okay .


 So as you reading this it will probably be Friday morning in the uk that is Halloween so here's what I've been buying .



Glow in the dark window stickers . ( pound world )+ These are my fave holographic glasses . ( pond world ) 














Fake blood and white face paint . ( wilko )  +   Trick or treat sign.  ( asda )



Black roses . ( wilko )        +    White roses with blood drops on . ( asda )


Now from the thrift shops or charity shops as they are called in the u.k 














A silver chain .  ( thrift store )   +  And a cup thingy ( not from a thrift store its from asda but i couldnt fit it in with the other stuff from asda .)

Rimmel kate moss lasting finish lipstick's REVIEW + SWATCHE'S

hello  , the Rimmel kate moss lipstick's are some of my favorite drugstore lippies as they are high pigmented , hydrating , creamy , smell amazing and have a great lasting power .


That said i only own 2 as i like to try different brands out all time,  i love finding products that are overlooked . Although these lipsticks definitely aren't over looked as many beauty blogger's/ youtuber's love them as do i .

I have the shades : 01 + 04




.01 is a very dark vibrant red heres the swatch .




.04 is a dark purple it looks very scary in the tube but is a stunning colour when applied to lips .



There are 3 diffrent types of rimmel kate moss lipstick , these are from the lasting finish collection , but there is also the lasting finish matte collection and the spring collection . I havent tried any from the other two collections but am hoping too soon . and ill will let you know what i think .

All in all i love these lipsticks and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great quality drugstore lipstick . And they have a fantastic range of shades .
They retail for :

. £5.49 in Superdrug and Boots .


Right thats everything , thank you for looking !

byeeeee

Rimmel lasting finish 25hr nude foundation - REVIEW


Hello , review time ! Rimmel lasting finish 25hr nude foundation ( that's is a long name for a foundation !)

This is the foundation ( not writing that long name again !) it claims to be a medium coverage foundation that feels hydrating and moisturizing. Lightweight formula blends instantly into the skin creating a nude , poreless effect . Sweat , humidity and transfer proof for upto 25hrs . Coverage that won't let you down . Dermatologist tested .

. Okay so i agree with the medium coverage it is a very buildable foundation but it could also be applied very lightly for a more sheer coverage . It does minimize your pore's very well and it feel's very light and hydrating on the skin.

.The finish is quite a matte finish but also slightly satin  but not too much . It isn't the best for dry skin but it is a lot better than others I have tried considering I get very dry skin , but is fine if you apply moisturizer first. I really enjoy this foundation and how it looks on my skin . 

Colour wise it goes quite pale normally I can't find  a pale enough shade but the lightest shade 010 is almost a perfect match for me . lasting power is great i really love the way this foundation wears on the skin and last all day without a primer .


thanks for reading

Gosh BB cream - REVIEW

Hello everyone , as I said in my collective haul here is my gosh bb cream review !.  
 
 
 
 
As you can see in this ( not so fantastic ) photo the bb cream comes in a sleek black tube which looks very high end like it seems quite sturdy. But one thing I don't like is the stopper the bit that the product comes out of even when it's been closed , when I open it up quite a lot of the product has seemed  to leak into the lid . Although that's nothing major and you get what you pay for .     
(Swatched )
                               
 As said above ( you get what you pay for ) , that is not so true when it comes down to the actual product , it's a very creamy blendable bb cream ,for me it last about 5- 6 hrs maybe more on certain skin types and has SPF 15 .                                                                    

 As with most foundation , bb cream , cc cream and powders they usually look worse throughout the day where as this bb cream seems to look more amazing the longer you wear it .                                                                        
As go coverage it is very good it covers my spots and redness better than some foundation I have tried .
( Blended out on my hand ) 
But I believe this comes in 4 colours and this being the lightest 01 sand , sand is normal a quite tan colour in most make up, but in this I can say it is quite pale and will suite a wide range of people with pale skin .
 
All in all this is a great little bb cream ,
and I recommend it if your looking of something
 with a lighter coverage than a foundation or if your on a tight budget ! . 
 
 
 
So thank you for looking and im sorry about the terrible photos they will be getting better soon promise .
 
please show me some love and give me a cheeky follow or a little comment.
 
Okay thank you for reading and ill see you soon byeeeeeeeeee ! x
