I'M REALLY SORRY!

Hi everyone :)

So I just want to start by saying I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and got everything you wanted :)

I know that I said about a month ago that I would start posting a lot more again, and then I didn't, but that was because my laptop broke, and I was so busy.. but Yesterday I got my new laptop, so I'm ready to be blogging lots more!

I got lots of make-up and skincare for my birthday, so I will be doing a little haul, and then hopefully some reviews in the future!

One of my new years resolutions is definitly going to be to blog more, and I will do it this time! If any of you see me slacking, email me, and tell me to do it a lot more!

So happy Boxing day, and I will be posting more soon, I'm going away to see family soon so I won't get the chance, but DEFINITELY from January 1st onwards!

Thanks everyone for sticking with me :)

Love you all!

Merry Christmas :)

I'M SORRY.

Hey everyone :)

I'm sorry! It's been a while, to say the least! But I am back, and I will be posting more this time, I PROMISE<3.

The first snow of winter arrived here today, I feel really christmassy.

My birthday is coming up (13th December), and I was wondering if you lot would want a little haul post, or wishlists for my birthday and christmas? Oh and my laptop is being a BITCH, so thats the main reason why I haven't been posting!

Have a lovely weekend x

FIREWORKS

Have a nice bonfire night!x

UPDATE!

Hi everyone :)

Sorry for the severe lack of posts! I've been so busy, and I haven't been feeling very inspired to write about anything, and I haven't really tried out any new products!

I just wanted to give you all a little update on what's happening with me, because I have no make-up posts in mind!

On Friday I bought tickets for two different concerts. And they're actually for my two favourite bands EVER!

The Pretty Reckless

Take That

Ahh! I love them both so much! They're both VERY different music styles.. ahah! But I like lots of different types of music! AND The pretty Reckless are playing on my birthday! It's going to be a preetty good birthday!

It's officially NOVEMBER! Christmas is coming! Ah, I get so overly excited!

I have 2 weeks at school, then I get to do work experience for a week at a local primary school, (Because I want to be a primary school teacher!), and then only 4 weeks till I break up for christmas!

So there they are! What do you all think?! Comment below!

Thanks everyone :)

September Favourites!

Hi everyone :)

So I know i'm really late with my September Favourites, but Better late than never yes?!

Here they are:

(Sorry for the fact that the image is a little blurry,

and that I lined them up all wonky!)

Benefit's High Beam - I bought this some time ago, and found it in my drawer at the beginning of September, and fell in love with it again! I don't have much left though!:(

Urban Decay Naked Palette - How could I not include this beauty in here?! It's so amazing, and definitely Worth the Hype!

GOSH Darling Lipstick - Originally, I wasn't as keen on this as everyone else, but I have found a new love for it! It's one of those lip products you can just slap on and walk out the door - I love it!

TRESemmé Dry Shampoo - My new favourite dry shampoo! I used to love Batiste, because it was cheap and smelt nice - but I find that in comparison to this, the Batiste smells heavily perfumed, whereas this smells more fresh, and clean.

YSL Teint Resist Foundation - I cannot say enough my love for this product! It goes on well, gives a medium coverage without looking cakey, stays on all day. LOVE IT!

YSL Touche éclat - I love this! It's one of YSL's most famous products, and I love it! I use it under my eyes.

YSL Faux Cils Mascara - Oh. My. God. No Mascara will ever be able to beat this one! It's amazing! I cannot talk about it enough. I love it so much!

Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara - I really like this mascara too! Not as good as my YSL, but what is? I don't know if it really is making my lashes grow more, but it works well as a mascara, so i'm happy!

Nivea Pearl Shine Lip Balm - I picked this up without really looking at it much in Superdrug, as I was in need of a new Lip Balm, and I'm SO glad I did! It's lovely!

Nivea Oil Free Moisturising Fluid - I love this moisturiser! It works so well on my skin, by making it hydrated, but not leaving it shiny in the slightest! I really recommend it if you have combination - oily skin!

Silent Night Candle - Ok, I know this isn't a beauty product, but I just have to throw this in there! It smells AMAZING! I don't think it really makes me feel sleepy, but it smells so good! It also burns up to 35 hours! I love it!

So those were my late September Favourites.

I hope you enjoyed!

Thanks everyone :)

Ins and Outs No.2

Hi everyone :)

Thought I would do a little In and Out post for you all today!

IN!

1. X-factor Live shows!

I am a bit of an Xfactor fanatic, I just love it! So having the live shows back again, is amazing for me! Another sign that Christmas is coming!

2. Lauren Conrad's new book!

Lauren Conrad's book series LA Candy is one of my favourites, and the third book of the series came out about a week ago. It's called Sugar and Spice and i'm half way through it, and I am really loving it :).

3. Finding new music!

I have been looking for new music for a while, and I've found a new love in a singer called Uffie, and quite a few more!

4. HOLIDAYS!

I have 2 weeks off school just now, and I'm SO glad! I'm exhausted from all the work thats been piling up at school, so having a 2 week break is JUST what i've been needing! So Look forward to more posts!

5. Winter Weather!

The weather has been starting to get really cold and dark, and me loving winter, I love it!

OUT!

1. I have to get glasses!!:(:(

I had been finding it hard to read the board at school, so I went for an eyetest and was told that I needed to wear glasses full time. I am kind of gutted, but I am trying to look on the bright side! I think i'm going to look into contacts soon! I picked my glasses out, and they should be hear by tuesday, I'll do a little blog post on it with pictures!

2. My hair!

Last year in about June, I decided to get my hair cut into a bob shape, and I loved it for about a week? Then I hated it! I used to have hair about down to my ribs? and I got it all off :(. My hair grows so slowly, and i'm getting so impatient. GROW!

3. Laptop!

I got my laptop about 3 years ago? It's always been REALLY bad, since the day I got it, and it's being so annoying at the moment! I have to restart it like 5 times a day? Just to do anything on it. It's ridiculous!

So that's my In's out's for this week! I think I might try and do this once a week from now on :)

What's yours?

DIY Tinted Moisturiser!

Hi everyone,

I did so well last weekend with my blogging, and I kind of slowed down again this week.. sorry! I am back though! And I am now on holiday for the next 2 weeks so expect lots more blog posts!

I still need to do my september favourites.. I WILL do them this weekend - I promise!

Plus, all my lush stuff came and I got some bath stuff as a present to show you lot!

But onto todays post.

Now, the typical way to make a tinted moisturiser without actually buying one, is to mix your moisturiser and your foundation, but I have another way to show you! Probably 99% of you will know that you can do this, but whatever! I felt the need to blog!

I don't know about you, but I have had plenty of pressed powder smash, and leave me thinking that they have no use, and are just too messy to use. Well, I have a use now! Tinted Moisturiser!

What you'll need:

• Smashed up pressed powder
• Small Tub
• Moisturiser
• Something to mix it up with!

So, Heres what ya do!:

1. Take your pressed powder, and pour it into your small tub.

2. Take your moisturiser of choice. (Works best with a rich one!)

3. Squirt into your tub with your smashed pressed powder.

4. Mix it up!

Mine ended up a lot more smooth than this, and added more moisturiser, but, I stupidly forget to take a photo of the end product! Sorry!

So, there's a use for when your pressed powder gets smashed!

I changed up the blog layout, I'm not sure if I like it yet, but I am going to leave it up for a bit and see if I warm to it more!

Thanks everyone - Happy Friday!

LUSH Christmas Wishlist!

Hi everyone :)

I am trying to write a blog most days now.. and i'm doing ok! There probs won't be one up tommorow or Wednesday as I am really busy, but hopefully a new post will be up by thursday, and LOTS in the next 2 weeks cause i'm off school!

I recently told you about my 2 new purchases from LUSH Snow Fairy Shower gel, and Snow Fairy Lip tint, but there are plenty of other things I have my eye on!

I will probably not buy a lot of them till december, because I want to be in a very Christmassy mood to enjoy them the most!

Here they are:

Satsumo Santa

£2.90

Christmas Eve

£2.60

Candy Cane

£2.35

L'il Lush Pud

£1.95

Snowcake

£2.60

There were a couple others, but their photo's won't work so i'll leave them out for now!

Thanks everyone:)

LUSH - I love you!

Hi everyone :)

So I am sure that most of you are aware of one of LUSH's most famous christmas items - Snow Fairy.

And, they have just released it again for christmas this year! YAY!

I didn't manage to get my hands on it last year, but i'm extra prepared this year, and i've already got it ordered.

I ordered two items..

Snow Fairy

£5.95/250g

I decided to only get 250g, just because i've never had it before, and I want a slightly smaller one than a big 500g and a bit bigger than 100g so I decided for the middle one! I'm sure I will love it though! SO EXCITED!

Snow Fairy Lip Tint

£4.64/10g

I wasn't originally going to buy this... but I saw it and thought.. Why not! It looks quite nice, and you can always do with a good lip balm in the cold winter months.. (which I love!)

So that was just showing you what i've bought.. I'll have a proper post up with picture and reviews up as soon as it arrives in the post! Which I hope is very soon!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!

Go Go Go!

UK Readers! Listen up...

Hi everyone :)

So this post is directly aimed at all my UK readers, because I am going to be telling you about something which might make some of you very excited!

I am not sure how well known this information is, but I just wanted to let you know incase you didn't already know!

If your an avid blog reader, and youtube watcher, you may have heard american people talking about a shop called Forever 21.

I have always lusted after the clothes shown in Forever 21 Hauls, and loved the nice price tag! Anyone else the same?!

Well, worry not! Forever 21 is coming to the UK! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! I'm very excited about this!

If you live in Birmingham or Dublin your in luck! Theres shops opening in Birminghams Bull Ring and Dublins Jervis centre. BUT if your like my and live in neither of those places, you will be able to shop online!

Ahh! This is not good for my bank balance! Very excited though!

Any UK readers as excited as me?!?!?!

I LOVE WINTER!

Hi everyone :)

Not been doing many posts lately, i've just been so busy, and when i'm not busy i'm just too tired!

But don't worry, that is all going to change today!

I thought i'd start off by talking about WINTER. Ok, I know this is a make-up blog, but I just have to do the odd ramble don't i?

I seriously LOVE winter. December in specific, but still. I love snow, I love the cold weather and being able to layer on clothes and wear my boots!

But I really love December, it's my birthday in december, (December 13th to be exact!) and CHRISTMAS. I'm a tad obssesed with it, I'm already getting excited... Embarrasssing!

Winter is my favourite month, I know most peoples is summer, but I <3>

I found some pictures which made me feel even more excited for christmas time! Take a look ;)

Sorry for the picture overloaaaaaad! I just wanted to share these pics with you :)

Anyone else the same as me? Please don't tell me i'm alone!

Urban Decay Naked Palette and Coastal Scents 88 Shadow Palette

Eeeek!

You've no idea how embarrassingly excited I have been about these 2 eyeshadow palette. One slightly more than the other, but still pretty excited about botttth!

Urban Decay Naked Palette

RRP:£27.00 (I got mine for £24.50 though!)

It comes in LOVELY packaging! It feel like velvet, and the NAKED logo looks really nice with its gold lettering! You also get a mini Primer Potion with the Palette.

In the Palette there are 12 eyshadows and a double sized eyeliner. The black side in shade zero, and the Brown is called Whisky.

Oh my gosh! These colours are so amazing, I love it so much! They are so highly pigmented, and Each colour is so lovely! I don't often go for dramatic eyes, so this will be perfect for everyday use! Plus, The eyeliners are AMAZING. If you get the chance, BUY it! You will not be disappointed. I know you've all heard loads about it, but I just wanted to let you know that I love it too!

Coastal Scents 88 Palette

RRP: £29.99 ( I got mine for £15!)

I love this! It's so good for the money! It's so highly pigmented, and it feels like real good quality! It's a nice mixture of calm colours, and crazy colours! Which I really like, because I already have my NAKED Palette for neutral days, and now I have this for days I wanna do something a little crazy with my eyes! Love it, if you can Buy it! It's kinda hard to come across in the UK, but I think you can get it off Amazon!

Thanks everyone :)

Has anyone else picked up these palettes?

Tiny YSL Haul!

Normally I wouldn't do a Haul for only 2 items, but I'm so excited about these so I feel the need to show you these two things I bought!x

Here they are:

I got the Touche Eclat(AHH!) and the YSL Teint Resist foundation(AH! That's off my wishlist!)

Ok, so I'm so excited about these two! I have been wanting them both for soo long! and I have used them once, and so far i'm in LOVE.

YSL Teint Resist Foundation - Shade 1

RRP: £28.00

So admittedly i've only used this once, but I only got it today! And I only tried it on to test colour, cause I did buy it online! Which isn't what I normally like to do with foundations, but I took a risk, and it's a perfect colour and so far it's lasted well! The real test will be tomorow at school.. I'll keep you updated!

YSL Touche Eclat - Shade 2

RRP: £24.00

Ok, So i've only been used it once too! But it makes my skin look so radient and amazing! I love it! I will keep you updated though about how I get along with it!x

So this was a bit pointless but I just had to tell you how EXCITED I am about these two purchases! I just bought the URBAN DECAY NAKED PALETTE too, so expect a big post about it the second I get it in the post i'm SO excited about that too!

Thanks everyone :)x
