Bedside Table Skin Care

Hello everyone,

Lately I have been sorting out my bedside table skin care routine, I have recently organised my skin care and I am very happy with the storage I have used.

This is an over view of the box, the box is from Primark and it cost £5, but when I got to the check out it was £1.50. This box is perfect for storing little things like skin care, just because it's sectioned and big enough.

In the big section on the left, and here I have the bigger bottles. I have a Skin Therapy moisturiser for oily and combination skin; this is from Wilkinsons, I use this moisturiser in the morning, before I put my makeup on. Next to that I have some E45, because I have been getting some dry patches on my face because of the weather. Then I also have this new serum I picked up yesterday, called FaceB4 After Cleansing Serum. Then my holy grail product, the La Roche Posay Effacer Duo which is the best thing if you have break outs! 

Onto the top section, here I just have the Lush Grease Lightning, which is a stop treatment. And my other favourite moisturiser which is the Ren Daily Supplement moisturiser, followed by a hair band.

The lastly I have a benefit it's potent eye cream which is amazing for night and day time under your make up, it also very moisturising! Then I have two lip balms one is a Balmi, which is put on a night because it's very smooth but moisturising at the same time. Then my day time lip balm is the Nuxe Reve De Miel, which is a wonderful lip balm for the price (£9.50), and finally I have a body shop Cranberry Bliss hand cream!

I hope you have had a brilliant week, and next week is even better!

My favourites of 2014!

Hello everyone,

I can't quite believe that we are coming to the end of 2014, this year has gone so quick and because it's coming to the end this means a favourites of 2014 post! 

My favourites -

Makeup -

My first makeup favourite of 2014, has to be the Benefit Gimme Brow, this is a wonderful product that fills in, defines and cares of your brows! This looks so natural and only takes a few seconds to transform your brows. This can be used on it's own or over over products to set them in place.

Onto a lipstick, this is Mac's Lipstick in Creme cup, this is a great everyday lipstick and I have got a lot of use out of it since I brought it in August. It's a pigmented baby/nude pink, this is very creamy hence it being a cremesheen.

I think I found one of my favourite foundations through out this year, and it's the Bourjois 123 perfect, this is a correcting foundation with three pigments, yellow for anti-dark circles, mauve for anti-dull complexion and green for anti-redness. This is a great drugstore foundation, because it looks natural and helps to prefect any imperfections.

A powder that has had a lot of hype this year, is the Soap and glory one heck of a blot. This is a translucent and fine powder to help mattify your skin, what I love about this the most is that it doesn't add any colour to your skin, and doesn't make you look orange or even too pale, because one colour fits all.

The Nuxe Reve De Miel lip balm is great, it's a perfect all rounder, perfect for under lip products, perfect for dry and cracked lips but also it excels for hydrating your lips. This is one of the best lip balms I have tried, and I love this for every day.

Moving back onto Bourjois, I brought quite a lot of their Colour Boost glossy finish lip sticks. And long story short I have fallen in love with the two colours Orange punch (03) and Plum Russian (06), they are very glossy and look lovely on the lips, because they are a glossy lipstick they don't stay on the lips that well, but they are so easy to re apply that I don't mind topping them up.

Their is one mascara that I love, and that I will love for a long time, this is Benefit's They're real. A great mascara for getting length, but holding a curl and giving great volume!

Another lip product, this time from Sleek, this is their Matte Me lip creme in the colour Petal (435). This is a very pigment matte pink which is more of a baby pink. This looks matte and beautiful on the lips, and has great staying power.

Another lip product I love which is the Lush Santa's lip scrub, this is a paste scrub which work miracles at keeping your lips looks good, and is great at the dry and cracked areas on your lips. This is limited edition for Christmas, but all the other lip scrubs are just as good,

The HD Brows eye brown and eye shadow palette is great for travelling. It has a lot of neutral matte colours perfect for a every day eye look, but you can also use the colour to define your brows. It does a good job at filling in your brows, and then if you use the Benefit Gimme Brow on top, your brow game is very strong!

Lastly is a makeup product that is a stand out of 2014, or my ultimate product of this year! This is the Benefit Brow Zings brow shaping kit. This comes with a powder to fill in your brows, a wax to set everything, a hard angle brush to use with the powder, a blending brush to use with the wax and a mini pair of tweezers for any star hairs. This is in my eye a brow changing product.

Hair -

I have liked using the Toni & Guy sea salt spray for a few years now, but through out this year I have been using it more and in different ways. This gives great texture, and beach waves. One way I like using it is to spray it in the mid lengths of my hair, throw my hair in a bun on my head, then take out when finished getting ready. Or even curling my hair, then applying this in after to make the curls more rough and and beachy.

Something more recent, this is the COLAB dry shampoo in the scent New York, this is much better than Batiste dry shampoo. This one adds more body, volume and doesn't dry out your hair, it smells amazing and is by far the best one I have tried.

Scent -

A perfume I have recently brought is the Philosophy celebrate grace fragrance, this is a hard one to describe but smells fresh and fruity, but with a slight hint of floral. A great scent for everyday and one to throw on.

Onto a body spray, this is the Victoria's Secret Endless Love body mist. This smells like Herbal Essences shampoo, and is very fruity. It is meant to smell like apple blossom and ylang ylang.

Skincare -

This year I have fallen in love with one skin care brand, which is Ren! I brought one of their sets a few months ago and haven't looked back since. The Hot Cloth Cleanser is perfect for a mini pamper session every night when taking my makeup off, it feels amazing and takes off your makeup like no other.

Another Ren product is the Daily Supplement moisturising cream. This is my day time moisturiser, it hydrates and doesn't dry out. A little bit goes a long way but also it sits nicely under makeup.

Onto a skin care item I have mentioned loads of times, this is the Palmers Cocoa Butter, and my saving grace. Perfect for any thing, for hydrating dry areas from hands to face, or even using as a after sun.

Jewellery/Fashion -

I got given a Michael Kors bracelet when my dad and step mum went to America. I have loved it since the day I got it, it is a leather wrap bracelet with the MK in the centre, this is gold and is perfect with my Michael Kors pieces. 

They are my products of 2014! Have you tried any, also I want to know what are your products of 2014? Comment below

September Favourites 2014

Hello everyone,

I am glad this isn't too late, but today I have my September favouirtes for you. I have a lot of beauty to talk about, with some randoms of course. 

Beauty

The first thing I am going to start off with is the Rimmel Match Perfection Loose Powder, I use this before foundation and after primer, this keeps your makeup on for longer and you looking more matte. I also use this powder with the Real Techniques Duo Fibre face for a light dusting without applying too much. Moving onto primers, I have been loving the Bourjois Health Mix Matte Primer, this is very light and looks really nice under foundation, I also mix this into some foundation for a more luminous glow. Talking about keeping you matte and foundation on for longer, I have been using the NYX Matte Finish Setting spray, this isn't really wet and drys very quickly. I use this last to keep everything in place through out the day and it works well, just as good as the Urban Decay one. I do love filling in my brows and any brow products in general, I have been using the HD Brows Palette in Foxy to fill them in, then I use the Benefit Gimme Brow to set them in place, this creates a very nice but defined brow, and they go very well. I have a lot of lip products but not too many, I am going to start off with a lip balm, this is the Nuxe Reve De Miel, this is one of the best lip balms I have ever used, it's a thick moisturising paste and the best thing ever. Onto some thing more inexpensive, the Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me, has been a nice transition into Autumn for school and everyday. But now a pink lippy this is the Sleek Matte Me in Petal, this looks stunning and are not that drying at all. 

Random

Random favourites are some of my favouirtes to talk about. I have been watching quite a lot of TV programmes last month. Education The East End is one of my favourites, I love seeing different schools and it makes you think more about the teachers in the respect that you get to see the impact it makes on them, good and bad. Then another medical programme I like is Saving Hope, it's very good and really different. I would highly reccomend you watching the series. The last programe is Who's Doing The Dishes, I love seeing in the celebrities houses, and it's a really god concept.

I have a few songs this month, the first one is Blame It In Me by George Ezra, Ella Eyre Comeback is amazing, Shift K3Y I know and lastly Vane Riptide. They are all amazing songs, 100% reccomend them.

My Going Out Makeup Look

Hello everyone,

I am going out this evening for a party and I have decided on a long lasting, flawless makeup look and thought I would share it with you. This is a great makeup look because it can be changed very quickly because its very natural, I have gone for a natural base, bold brows and lips; you can adapt this to how you like to wear your makeup.

My first step to a flawless base and a long lasting one is a primer, I have been loving the Bourjois Health Mix Matte Serum Primer, this is the best at giving you glowy but matte skin, it's very light and drys very quickly. For a flawless base I go for  medium to full coverage, to achieve this I use the Mac Studio Fix Fluid foundation and to go along with that they Mac Studio Finish concealer to hide blemishes. Under the eyes I go for a light coverage to brighten them up, for this I use the Garnier Anti-dark circle roll on, this is quite light but not too light, this brightens your eyes but doesn't cover them fully. I love to contour and especially when I am going out, I go a tad bit stronger. I love the Benefit Hoola Broner this adds great definition and ins't orange, to go along with that I go for a light pink blush and this is Benefit Dandelion. But you also have to go for a highlight I use the Mac MSF in Lightscapade, I use this when I am going for a shimmery blush. Moving swiftly onto eyes, I prime with the Mac Paintpot in Painterly. I go for natural eyes when I am having a bold lip and brows, this is the Stila Written In The Stars Palette, (I have marked the colours I use in the picture), a shimmery champagne for the inner corners and brow highlight, the colour next to it to lightly define the crease, with a darker chocolate brows in the outer V and on the top lash line, and smoked out on the bottom lash line. My ultimate mascara is benefit They're Real for a long lash effect with volume. Onto Brows I use my Benefit Brow Zings eyebrow kit to define my brows, this frames your face a lot! Onto lips I start off with a lip scrub (normally Lush Popcorn lip scrub), followed by the Nuxe Reve De Miel lip balm. I said I am going for a bold lip I have two options here and they are the Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayons in Orange Punch and Plum Russian. I finish with the Bare Minerals Mineral Veil over the face then the NYX Matte Setting Spray to keep everything in place.

Something which I have heard quite a lot about and that is the Nuxe Rive De Miel Lip Balm. I got this on a whim because I saw and I just kinda of needed it. I have used this a few times already and love it! (£9.50 -  Link)

Something very new from Maybelline in the UK, and this is the Baby Lips Electro. I brought all four of these, I brought the colours (from left to right) Strike a rose, Berry Bomb, Oh!
