Bobbi Brown Make-up Manual

Hi everyone:)

So today this is going to be a little review of the Bobbi Brown Make-up Manual book.

I got this book for christmas, and I did kind of flick through it then, but didn't really read it, but now i'm really reading every single word!

It has to sections, the first section is for anyone from ordinary people, to professionals, and gives you a good background of how to apply your make-up like a professional, and what kind of make-up brushes you want to look out for. It gives you step to step guides of how to apply make-up, and gives information on the science side of skin care.

The second section is called "Artistry", this part is made for the professionals and gives you tips of how to do well in the make-up industry, and looking into what career's are available for you.

It's filled with colourful pictures of amazing make-up looks.

I absolutely love this book! I feel like I know so much about the Make-up world. I'm still reading it, and i'll give you an update once i'm all finished, but I love it so much, I can't imagine I will be disappointed!


You should all definitely check it out!

Thanks everyone :)

Summer Perfume Collection!


Hi everyone:)

So I thought I would do a little summer perfume collection post. These are the 3 perfume I love in the summer! They're very light and fresh which is perfect for summer! I got all of these products a bit ago, but thought I would talk about them now, as they are perfect summer fragrances!

From left to right: Hypnose Senses by Lancome, J'aime by La Perla, and Daisy by Marc Jacobs.

As you can tell I'm running pretty low on all of them! That's only because I've been using them so much! I really love all of them!

Daisy is quite popular I think, and I'm not surprised because it's a lovely wearable fragrance. J'aime isn't quite as popular I don't think, but I think that's because it's not as big a brand as Marc Jacobs. I bought mine at a little perfume shop, and I haven't really seen it anywhere else! I got the Hypnose Senses for my birthday, and I really love it! I've been wearing it like everyday since!

I wear these scents like all year round, because that kind of summer scent is the kind of perfume I like, but some people might just wear this in summer!

I really think you should check these out if you get the chance!

Thanks everyone :)

I also have a little idea of a competition, I'm not going to ruin it all by telling you what, but I've got it planned. Still trying to think up idea's for some prizes... any suggestions about what you'd love to win? Comment Below! I think i'm going to do it for when (Positive thinking!)

Oh, and you will have to be a follower to enter.

Lancome Hydra Zen Teinté Tinted Moisturiser


Hi Everyone :)

So, about a year ago I purchased the Lancome Hydra Zen Teinté Tinted Moisturiser in shade 1. I used to go straight to the Lancome counter at my local Debenhams because the Lady who worked there used to love me, and give me lots of little samples and deals, she was really nice.



One time, she recommended that I should try this product out as a nice light coverage for summer. I'm now so glad I took her advice and bought it. It's such a lovely product, not too heavy for summer, but gives your skin a nice glow and evens out your skin tone nicely.

It leaves your skin feeling very moisturised with a nice light glow. I really love it.

I actually really like Lancome, and think it's a really good brand, and I don't know why it doesn't seem to get a lot of Hype about it on blogs or youtube videos.

I really recommend this for a nice summer product, especially when you don't want a think foundation on. You won't regret it! Plus, mine has lasted a little less than a year and I've been wearing it nearly everyday! I know, hard to believe!

Thanks everyone :)x

Make-up How to

Hi everyone :)

So lately I've been doing an eyelook quite a lot, and thought I would share it with you all!

Here it is:




This look might not quite be your thing, but I personally love it! AND it's really easy.

How did I do it?

Well, most people like to use a primer before using an eyeshadow, but I was actually all out of my Urban Decay Primer potion when I did this look, so I actually didn't use it, but I would recommend that you do.

1. Apply a primer all over the lid. (I reccommend Urban Decay Primer Potion. Also, you don't have to use a primer, mine worked just fine without it!)
2. Apply Make Believe cream eyeshadow by Virgin Vie all over the lid and into the crease.


3. Apply the Shadow colour from Benefits Big Beautiful Eyes pallette all over the lid and in the crease.
4. Apply black eyeliner along the upper lash line with a flick at the side, and line the lower lashes up to the middle of the pupil. (My favourite eyeliner is Le Crayon Kohl in the shade Noir by Lancome.)

5. Apply lots of Black mascara, (My favourite mascara is the Virtuose mascara by Lancome) and your good to go!

You can change the products I recommended, those were just the ones I find create this look the best.

On the rest of my face I like to wear bronzer, and lots of pink lipgloss!

Thanks everyone :)x

Barry M Nail Paints


I love and hate them

Why?

Well, I bought two shades the first being Coral, and the second being Blueberry.



Blueberry is lovely! It's thick and opaque, and after one thick coat its looking great.

(Sorry, this picutre was taken post clean up!)



It's a little bright, but I think it's nice, especially for summer. It's also really nice and creamy!

Coral, however, is a bit disappointing its thin, it doesn't seem to have the seem consistency which is kind of weird considering they are the same product just in different colours.

Which leaves me wondering, are the other colours in the range like Blueberry or like Coral? I'll have to buy more to find out!

Thanks everyone:)
