Skincare drawer x

I've been really getting into my skincare and my routine to try and improve the appearance and quality of my skin! So I purchased some new pieces of skincare a few months ago which you might have seen in a previous haul blog! So at the bottom of the blog is not my complete skincare drawer but the main things I use! These are also not washes or cleansers! They are separate!

These two (the front ones) are older 'creams' that I don't use as frequently as the other ones but they are both really nice and from the Body Shop! The pink one is a Vitamin E sorbet! It has the most amazing and hydratin formula/texture! It is super moisturising but does not leave excess oil! The other one is an oil reducing cream with seaweed in the mixture! It does help to keep excess oil at bay and is also hydrating but I prefer the Vitamin E sorbet which is really good for the skin! The two back tubes are Nuce testers - they are nice but I never noticed a major difference in my skin when using them!

I adore this Garnier cream! I personally love Garnier for my skin and always use it for most treatments! It is so hydrating and leaves a noticeable glow in my skin! It doesn't reduce oil as much as tiger creams but does to a certain extent! My only complaint is that it is too small!!!

These two go together and they make miracles on the skin! They both fight spots and contain zinc and chamomile which are great for the skin! The smaller one is only for fighting spots and works within 24 hours! The bigger one is a day cream! It removes more sebum than most 'oil reducing' creams and it actually does fight spots! Though my skin dos take a couple of days to adjust to the formula because at first it does leave the face skin feeling a little sticky - but after warming to it - it works marvels!

This is the picture of my drawer - with all of the products!

Thanks for reading this uprise blog - as I was off school today xxx

Perfume collection ❤️

This blog is a more a gallery of pictures - if f you wanted to know my taste in perfume I like fresh or sweet fragrances x

Lip treatments 💋

These are just a few of my favourite lip treatments that can keep your smackers in shape.

This is a Rodial lip balm tube. It is not coloured and is beast worn at night as it sinks in slowly and can't be worn underneath colours. It plumps the lips and moisturises intensly, but is rather sticky and has an unusual formula which means that it is quite heavy on the lips.

These are the infamous Lush lip scrubs! I have Mint Julips and sweet Lips, one mint choc chip and one just chocolate scented. They are exfoliating lip products that are edible and they last for a long time. They keep the lips in good condition but are a little overpriced.

These are my favourite lip balms of the moment! Dermalogica are known for their skincare and lip care and thy should be! I love the shape of oval bullets on lip balms, thy are easier to apply and a little different. It isn't scented and does wonders. However, the Palmers does smell like cocoa butter and is heavenly! They both moisturize nicely and I take them everywhere! The Acca Kappa is actually a new brand and I got it from an airline. I wasn't into the formula at first but then I realised how great it was. It's really creamy but sinks in quickly which is really convenient in a rush! Love love love...

This Lucas Pawpaw is an ointment and a dream! I have raved about it in so many blogs before so I won't go on too long, but it can be used for literally anything! I love it and will never run out. One downside is that you can only get it in Miami, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia! 😭

These are the infamous EOS lip balms. Counter to most opinions, I don't love these but they're alright. They don't really do much for me though I like the scent and shape. To be honest I would choose others over these any day.

Hope you enjoyed today! Come back soon! Xx

Lipgloss tube stash 🔥

As part of my progressing make up collection - these are my lipgloss tubes! 

These are mint based glosses from America called Mentha Shine! They have no pigmentation but they have a scent! I have Cinnamint, Vanillamint, Spearmint and Peppermint!

This is a Natural Collection Strawberry gloss! It smells delicious and has a nice sheen!

This is one of my favourite glosses! It is really coloured! It also has a slight shimmer! He red is gorgeous and goes well over lip liner!

This mini Lancôme is perfect for a light Watermelon hade over nude lipstick! It smells really nice and is long lasting! One of my faves <3

These last two are Victoria Secret! Both taste and smell fabulous! They both last at least 5 hours! I especially like Sunset Kiss as it is a bit different!

Thanks for reading - come back next week xx

Lipstick Collection

As part of my collection - here are my lipsticks! As you might en able to tell - I am a lip product fanatic! I really love lipsticks - so here they are...

This is the first ever lipstick I bought! I was looking for a subtle and natural look that would compliment my skin tone. Keeping in mind I was 9... I know I was young but having an older sibling means that things come naturally to you at an earlier stage. The packing is fab and the colour is gorgeous! It is a pink/nude with blue undertones! Perfect natural colour and goes well with any make up look.

This L'Oreal was one I bought was from America! It is a orange, coral lipstick that has a slight shimmer. It has a certain look to it - so you have to be careful with the eye make up you pair with it! I also love the sophisticated packaging!

This Revlon is the most beautiful orange nude with yellow undertones! And it's matte which appeals to me in so many way omg! It is so light and weightless on the lips that you can eat and rn ink without panicking about leaving lip stains or it rubbing off. For some reason I like the matte packing? Simple yet effective...

My high end lipstick! This Dior nude (I have a running theme?) is beautiful because it goes on the lips so smoothly and stay on for hours! You can also build it up to make a really dark colour. Again - it goes well with any look and it so versitile. The packing is really cool and futuristic but I think it could be more sleek/less bulky!

This last lipstick is the darkest, messiest lipstick that I own! This is a dark plumy, purple, red colour! It can be so many things depending on how dark you later it! It also looks completely different with different make up. Though a dark and definite colour it is versitile! The packaging is fun and cool but can be confusing.

Hope your enjoying my little collectives? Anyway - come back next Sunday? Xxx

Favourite glosses 💜

Hi everyone! Today will be a collection of my glosses! I hope you enjoy even though it has been around 3 months since I have posted. I have been very busy but will be back in the swing of things from now on.

This is a nude BarryM gloss which goes perfectly over either pink or yellow tone nude lipsticks. I especially like it over matte products becuase then there is a subtle sheen and it does not look too overdone. 

These three Sexy Mother Puckers are gorgeous over anything in their shade! The clear is best over nudes to give a long lasting gloss, the pink Punch Bowl goes nicely over pale and intense pink stains and the red can be built well over red tinted lip balms!

This Mac Lipglass is a long lasting, beautiful colour that is perfect for cute, girly make up looks. It has a shimmer that doesn't fade and smells like cupcakes! It goes the best over pink toned nudes and pale pinks.

This Accesorize lip balm does not quit! It is my absolute favourite summer gloss, not sticky, but doesn't fade away. It is usually best off on its own and it is very strong. Make sure not to smudge it!

These are the same type of glosses as the one before. I have two of the same hot pink ones, a pale pink and a nude. In this picture you can't see the nude, but it's in between the hot pinks. The paler pink is a light, casual colour that brightens up a look and the nude is beautiful over yellow toned nudes! The formula is divine and they last for ages.

Thanks for waiting so long, come back soon! Xx

Favourite speciality balms!

Hey guys! Doing by blog today - not last Sunday! I am doing my fave speciality lip balms today! These include tinted ones, scented ones etc! Hope you enjoy...

The first one is Peach Kiss by BabyLips from Maybelline! I really love this pale nude! It has a slight shimmer and pink undertones. Perfect for a base or a simple lip if you have damaged lip skin!

This baby lips smells wonderful! It is in the shade Melon Mania! Very bright and fantastic as a lipstick as well as a balm! I often use it under a hot pink lipgloss to give a slight hit of colour underneath! It also helps it to go on smoother!

This is the shade Pink Wink! It is über creamy and can be worn on its own as it is so strong! I do not particularly like this as it is very pale pink which doesn't suite my skin tone and it smells like bubblegum. I personally do not like bubblegum as a flavour! But I'm sure many people do.

This Peppermint balm is super refreshing and hydrating! There is sparse to say about this one though I adore the scent!

Cherry Me is one of my favourites! It is so bright and full of colour! It is not too full on but does have a pigmentation! Again it smells amazing! I often wear it solo or underneath a red lip pencil!

This is the Lychee flavour from the body shop. Unfortunately it is not very hydrating and its quite sparkly which I don't look for in a lip balm so I'm little disapointed but it smells nice.

This Carex MoisturePlus is amazing. Smells like vanilla which alreadyd had me hooked! But as a plus - it's red! So pigmented and moisturising! I love it so much! I had a plain, vanilla one before but this one is so great and I also use it over and under red lip pencils!

This is another winner! It is the Korres Mango lip butter! It has a nice colour and a creamy formula! Really hydrating and smells amazing! I do have a slight complaint about having to put my finger in a point - I prefer lip balms with bullets!

These three are not moisturising at all but they smell amazing! They have a slight colour but they're not the best lip balms! 

I hope you enjoyed this blog! Bye guys xx 

Beauty bits and bobs x

 

Hey everyone! Sorry I missed last weeks' blog - I wanted an actual topic to ramble on about! This week I will be covering a beauty bits and bobs haul! All but two of these items are from Sainsbury's so I will specify on those two! Enjoy x

 

This is just a picture and a small panorama of my vanity with the items laid out on it!

 

This is my Garnier Micellar water. I usually use Bioderma as a make up remover but as you can only get it in France it seemed sensible to find a cleanser that you can buy in England. As the area around my eyes is very sensitive I wanted something gentle but actually got eyeliner, cream shadow and mascara off! My sister recommended this to me so we popped into Boots to get some! I am really loving it and it doesn't leave stickiness around my eyes after usage!

As I was running low on face cream I wanted to try a few before have a decided favourite. Previously I had used the Vitamin E face sorbet as a hydrating but not greasy cream but I was running low and I do not have a Body Shop nearby. And as I was loving the zinc spit zapper wand from Simple - I thought I would give the spit zapping zinc face cream a try? I have only used it once and I am still getting used to the formula but it tends to leave my face tacky and I'm not sure...


My never ending search to find a powder had continued until two weeks ago! This Maybelline Matte Maker powder is fantastic. It stays on for most of the day and doesn't look cakey. I always apply powder with a Kabuki brush so it doesn't end up looking light pasty foundation!


Maybe my favourite hair product of all time? My thirst for a hydrating hair mask has officially been quenched. This smells like coconuts, mangos and happiness! After shampooing you apply this and leave it on for five minutes - then rinse! Simple, fast and works wonders! It leaves me with soft but not greasy hair! As I tend to split the end of my hair when I brush it - I use this twice a week. I am in love.


The other face cream I was trying out was actually a success! This Garnier moisture match it brilliant. Because of the formula - it matches your skins' oiliness to know how to tackle the excess sebum. It is really light and hydrating - another miracle found! My only criticism is that there isn't enough!


I have yet to try this MaxFactor foundation/powder compact. It is super sleek and would fit in any hand bag or clutch. It has a decent sized, clear mirror and a sponge so you don't need to carry brushes around with you (though I am planning to use me Real Techniques buffing brush). I am very excited to try this!


This isn't particularly interesting unless you create the Thursday Plantation Tea Tree oil? I briefly picked up some of this after trying out the body shop oil and buffer (in the picture below). It works like magic on the skin! :)


Again unless you work for Dove this won't be exciting - I love the pomegranate Dove deodorant so I grabbed some of that!


This product should take your fancy (I hope)? This is the Rimmel London thick and thin eyeliner in 001 Black. As I am still a practicing eye liner student I thought I should get to know the feel of the felt tip like eyeliner? Very excited to try this but I can't say that the first try was a time for rejoice...


My lovely father grabbed my all time favourite perfume for me at an airport! This is Lil' Angel Harajuku Doll by Gwen Stefani. This smell is so nostalgic and makes me smile. I have never loved a perfume more and would seriously recommend it!


My favourite body scrub from dirty works was in so I took the chance and bought it. You scrub in the shower and it melts off! It works like a charm and leaves a tropical smell all day!


I am proud to say I have invested in 1. a lip pencil sharpener and 2. a red lip product! Omg. I usually never go for red as I think it looks gaudy on me - but to tone it down I got a pencil which I can blend out! It is a Maybelline Coloursensational. I also picked up a Bourjois lip pencil sharpener after being so desperate I used a regular one and ruined the nib of my other lip pencil :(


My final purchase was a Mudd mask as my skin has been in really bad condition! Hopefully this will clear it up. I really like how its a bottle cap top so avoids mess! Points to Mudd for great design skills! Very exciting! :P


Thank you for reading my blog and celebrations for 11,594 page views! Thanks so much! AS it is my birthday soon - I also have a surprise for all of my readers! You will see in December! See you next week xxxx
