InStyle September Issue

Hi everyone :)

I just wanted to do a quick post about the september issue of InStyle which is already out. I never understand that with magazines, it's JUST turned August and it's already the september issue is out?! Anyways, I never consistently pick the same magazine whenever I pick one up, I look for the one with the best free gift.

This time it was InStyle!

InStyle were giving away a FREE Lipstain from the Body Shop, which normally retail at about £9.50. The magazine costs £3.60, and you get a magazine too! Yay!

I love it when I find a good deal :).

They are offering to different shades. One's red, and one's more beige. I bought the red, simply because it was at the front of the pile, and I was in a rush.

Sorry for the lack of pictures, my photo's don't seem to be uploading! Oh well, and pictureless post is better than no post, yeah?

Will you be picking up this magazine?:)

Thanks everyone :)

Ramble No. 2

Hi everyone :)

I'm sure your ramble post's aren't your favourites, but I don't have any really exciting beauty posts to do, so this will have to do!

I've decided that I will be doing a contest for when I hit 50 followers, so only 3 more to go, and it's giveaway time! Woo! I think i'm going to try and purchase the prizes this week, I just need to decide what the prizes are going to be! So just bear with me!

We need to get 50 followers first though, so I don't have to rush my purchases till then! Ok, so I think I'm going to maybe do a skincare routine post, I always like buying new skincare, so if you have any recommendations, comment below!

Not much else to say really...

hope you've all been having a good week:)

Thanks everyone :)x

L'OREAL Volume Million Lashes review.

Hi everyone :)

So I decided I would do a quick review on a new mascara I've been loving!

I featured it in one of my hauls, and I have loved it since the first time I used it! It holds curl very well, and adds lots of volume!

Apologies for the bad quality photo!



This is a picture of the wand that comes with the mascara. It claims to get rid of all the clumps, that isn't exactly true, but it isn't affecting the look on my lashes, so i'm not complaining!

Before the Mascara and eyeliner
(My sad, bare eye:(! )


And after!
(looking a lot nicer!)



My eyelashes are naturally pretty fair on the ends, so without mascara, my eyelashes are pretty much non existant! So any mascara makes a big difference. This, is definitely one of my favourite cheap mascaras! It's amazing! It's so volumising, and when I curl my lashes, some mascara's don't seem to hold the curl well and it doesn't give the same look, but this holds the curl of the lashes, and I just love it!

I really recommend it, I think once i've finished this I will try some other L'OREAL mascaras.


Results.

Would you repurchase? - Yes, if I was on a budget I would, but while I can still afford more expensive mascara's I will keep buying them!

Would you recommend this product to a friend? Definitely!

Marks out of ten? - About, 7/10. Not because it's bad because it's not! Just that there are better products out there, but for the money, it's definitely the best I've tried in that price range.



Hope you all enjoy this review, and if you want more reviews on product's i've been trying, let me know and I'll try and do some more for you all :)

If you have any more questions, leave a comment!

Thanks everyone :)

MissKC027 contest entry for July


Hi everyone :)

This is my contest entry for Kim's contest, here's a link to her blog :http://misskc027.blogspot.com/ You should check her out, she's very good!

These are the prizes to here blog, and if you want to enter, you can here: http://misskc027.blogspot.com/2010/07/photos-for-my-contest-entry.html



ANYWAY, on with the contest entry!

1. What is make-up for you?
Make-up for me is a way to make yourself look and be the best that you can be. And If you feel like that you look good, it will make you feel good. It's a nice way to boost someone's confidence, and gives them a way to express themself :).

2. What is your makeup routine?
In the morning I will take my Lancome Colour Ideal foundation and squirt some onto the E.l.f Powder brush, and buff it into my skin. Then I will take my E.l.f blusher in the shade candid coral and brush it onto my cheek bones. Then, I apply my e.l.f waterproof eyeliner pen and line my top lashes. Then I curl my eyelashes and apply L'OREAL Volume Million lashes all over my top and bottom lashes. Then I apply my YSL rouge volupte lipstick in shade 7 onto the lips and i'm done!

Thanks, and remember to check her blog out!

Make-up and Skincare Haul

Hi everyone :)

So I went shopping yesterday, and that means a new haul! Yay! I hope you all like hauls, because I have been quite a lot of them lately!


So this is what I bought, (From L-R) Gosh Darling Lipstick, YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick in shade 7, Barry M Lipstick in shade 101, Neutrogena Deep Clean Make-up remover wipes, Neutrogena visibly clear blackhead eliminating daily scrub, Neutrogena visibly clear pink grapefruit facial watch.

GOSH Darling Lipstick
I love this lipstick! It's so creamy, and it's not too thick so it doesn't give you that "dead look". It's definitely one of the best cheaper nudes.

Barry M Lipstick in shade 101


This is slightly more pinky than the GOSH Darling Lipstick, and I love it! It's a bit more pigmented so you don't need to put much on cause if you did it would give you the concealer lips look. I put it on quite lightly.
YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick in shade 7


I think i'm in love. I love this lipstick, it's so freaking pretty! The packaging it so nice, it made me immediately drawn to it, the colour is my perfect colour, and I love it! It's very moisturizing. My must have lip product for the summer.

Neutrogena visibly clear blackhead eliminating daily scrub

I've only used this once, so I can't say if it's really working, but I think it is, my skin looked better today, and my only real skin problem is blackheads, so look out for a review on this in a month or so!

Neutrogena Pink Grapfruit Facial Wash

I've only used this once as well, and I think it did the job, but only time will tell!

I hope you all enjoyed this small haul, with lots of unnecessary pictures! Tomorow I will post up a review of my new Mascara by L'oreal, with before and after pictures. So look out for that, and I hope you enjoyed this haul!

Oh, and I bought 4 jewellery items in the Topshop sale, do you want to see? If so, I'll post them up tomorow!

Thanks so much everyone! x
