Exciting life update!!!

Hey guys,

Today I wanted to chat with you about my life and just random stuff in general. 

So being back at school literally has been so tiring, I hate getting up early for school and walking to and back from school it's so long you know. Anyway I haven't been getting too much homework recently which is good I suppose but I bet  going to get tons now I just said that. I have to choose where I want to do work expierience and I don't know where to do it, I want to do something involving makeup when I'm older (e.g makeup artist) but for work expierience I don't know where to go involving makeup. I was thinking a salon but I don't really want to wash people's hair and clean, you know, washing my own hair and cleaning my own room is a chore in itself and doing other people's all day everyday would be a headache. Lool ramble over.

Omg changing the subject now I really really am obsessed with ready salted crisps and chocolate together, it tasted so nice, I don't even know why.

My birthday is so soon (November) and I really want to get the iphone 6 Gold 16gb because I have the iphone 4S which is ok but it's so old now and I'll like a new one but I don't know if I'll get it because I think it's expensive, hopefully I'm due a upgrade though! I really want a nice gold watch, like a Micheal Kors or dkny one, I might spend my birthday/Christmas money on a nice watch because the one I have now has badly discoloured!

Anyway this has been a massive random chat but I will be having makeup related posts up very soon! Please let me know what blogs you want me to put up (maybe a makeup collection?) 

Love you guys! Xx

MAC & Superdrug haul August 2015

Hey guys!

 

So today I have got a makeup haul for you guys!

I'm so excited to do this, I feel like I haven't made a splurge on makeup in ages.

Anyway... I have been to MAC and superdrug and picked up a few goodies. I love growing my makeup collection, it makes me so happy so yeah, let's get into it. By the way not all the makeup was purchased with my own money, my Nan and Mum did purchase some of this for me.

Also guys I know I said I was going to do a massive primark haul in my last haul but I'm not now because I went into Primark and literally found hardly anything I liked so I decided to get makeup instead lol. I hope you don't mind!

What I got from superdrug!!!

 

First of all I got 2 skincare products. I got the Garnier pure active 3 in 1 which is targeted towards oil, spot prone skin and it's basically a wash, scrub and a mask. I also got the Garnier pure active pore purifying toner. Now I've tried both of these products and so far so good. They make my face super matte and my spots have actually disappeared. So I'm very happy. They are realy cheap aswell, both of these were in sale in superdrug and I think they were both around the £5.00 mark.

Then I got some boring stuff. And I got Veet face precision wax strips and Nair tough hair removal cream. These are both pretty self explanatory. The wax strips are fantastic and the cream im yet to try. 

I also picked up a new foundation. Now I loved the maybelline superstay better skin foundation but now the loreal true match foundation has totally changed my mind. This foundation is amazing, it's matte, the perfect shade in W3 and lasts all day whlist looking natural. I have been wearing this foundation every day over the last few weeks and I can't get over how good it is, I really want to try the concealer. The foundation is around £10.00 which is so affordable. 

Then I picked up the Maybelline 24 hour gel liner. Now I've been wanting to try  agel eyeliner for the longest time because I've heard that they are easier than any other eyeliner to do a winged liner. I'm really excited to give this a try, if I like it I'll let you guys know.

I also picked up the MUA lipliner in the shade 'caramel nougat'. This lipliner is amazing for £1.00. It lasts a long time and the colour is beautiful, it's just a nude but it goes perfectly with MAC's honeylove lipstick. If you have been reading my blogs for a while you would know how much I have raved about this lipliner.

Then I have been wanting to try some liquid lipsticks for ages so I picked up the Rimmel provacolips. I must say that the nude one '200 skinny dipping' is such a lovely browney nude, but the formula kind of goes into the lines on your lips which im not to keen on, however I still need to wear them a bit more before I have a set opionon on them. The pink one is called 'dare to bare'. These were around £7.00 each.

I have been wanting to try the maybelline colour drama pencils for ages and I got the nude one, I can't remember the exact name but I think it's called perfecting nude or something like that, I will have to check and let you know, but anyway this is such a nice lip pencil, it's like a 'your lips but better' lip colour and I like wearing this whenever I can't be bothered to wear a lot of makeup, it's just quite natural and pretty. I love it and I think it was only like £5.00.

The Maybelline colour tattoos I swear I see everyone talk and use these on YouTube lol. But the colour I got was 'on and on bronze' and it is just a true bronze colour. I haven't used it yet but it will be so nice all over the lids if you just want a really easy look, or as a base of you want to create more of a 'glam' look.  This was  only around £6.00 so super affordable.

Now my MAC goodies!!!

First of all guys, if you have any 6 MAC empty containers/packaging and you keep them you get a free original MAC lipstick. So for every 6 MAC blush, bronzer, foundation, concealer and primer container/packaging you get a free MAC lipstick, isn't that awesome!

That is how I got the 2 MAC lipsticks above. I got 'Taupe' which is a stunning browney, orangey colour, and its matte, and then I got 'Modesty' which is a beautiful pinky nude colour and it's a creme sheen.

Then to go with the MAC lipstick taupe I got the lipliner in 'subculture' and this brings out the pink undertones in taupe, rather than the orange ones. It was £12.50. 

Last of all I got my holy grail primer, skin base visage. This is so good, it helps keep me matte all day and I literally swear by this primer, I don't know what I'd do without it! I think this is quite pricey, it's like £26.00 but it's totally worth it.

Thank you for reading this post, I love hauls and I hope you do to, if there's any blog post you really want me to do comment below!

Love you all Xx

August favs 2015

Hey guys!

So today I'm going to be doing a August favs... I have been loving a few things this month which I want to share with you guys.

So first up I have got the powder I have been loving. I can't remember wether or not I've mentioned it in another monthly favs but if I have never mind because it's worth mentioning again! This powder is a great light matte powder, it keeps your shine down and I really love this powder, so if your suffering with a oily face, get this powder and I guarantee you'll be shine free...

   

Then my holy grail foundation is the loreal true match, it's so awesome, that's all I'm going to say! If you want a full review on this foundation then let me know but I think it is much better than the MAC studio fix foundation. 

Now, I have mentioned this blush in a lot of blog posts but I have to mention it again... The Mua cream blusher in the shade 'Blossom' is my favourite blusher in the world! It's very pigmented, easy to use, cheap, and it is so illuminating and dewy! Literally I put this onto my cheeks and it makes my cheeks glow up so beautifully, it lasts most of the day but it does tend to fade after around 6 hours but you can just top it up seeing as you don't need to use a brush with this you can just simply dab it in with your fingers (as long as their clean!). It's also very small and compact so it's great for traveling!

Then the Garnier pure active toner is really good for oily skin! It makes my skin super matte instantly, I love using his before applying my makeup to create a matte base and also after I take of my makeup. It leaves you feeling so refreshed and makes your skin feel so healthy! I've now discovered my new love!

I have never been really into hair care, but recently I have been having my hair down a lot more often and I hate my frizzy hair, so my mum got me the TIGI bed head after party and can I just say it tames frizz  like nothing else! After I have styled my hair, wether it's up or down I always use one pump of this hair cream and I smooth it all over the ends of my hair and it gives me amazing results! This is around £16 and it's totally worth it!  Also it smells really girly, I can't explain it, lol.

Last of all is another hair are product, it's actually a straightening cream, basically whenever I want to straighten my hair I always smooth this onto my damp hair and then after I've blow dried and straightened my hair it helps to keep my hair smooth and manageable. It also smells really nice, kind of tangy and sweet.

So thank you guys for reading this post, I hope you enjoyed this, as per usual I will leave my usernames so you can contact me if need be.

Love you all Xx

Primark, Topshop & Superdrug haul July 2015

Hello guys!

I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a very long time, but now summers here, and schools out I promise to post much more often.

Anyway... I have been shopping over the past week and thought I'd share what I have got with you guys, because why not? Everyone loves a good old haul now and then don't they? I know I do. 

So the first place I popped into was superdrug. 

The first item I got was a face mask, I love face masks, I think they really helps your skin have a good old deep cleanse. The one I got was the superfruits clay mask and it was only 99p. The superdrug   Face masks that I've tried in the past have never failed to impress so that's why I chose this one.

The next item I got was a face scrub. I have been looking for a harsh deep cleansing face scrub for a while now, and I didn't want to spend a great deal of money on one, so therefore I walked into superdrug, pondered over to the skincare  section and saw this. Then I picked it up and thought, this looks good and it is incredible! I can't get over this. It's so mattifying and cleansing, I just love it. I'lldefinatly do a review on this once I've used it a bit more. I'm not sure of te exact price but I think it's around £5.00.

I then got myself a Radox bath soak. I love these so much, they are so cheap and they also smell amazing. I didn't actually pick the 'stress relief' bath soak Becase im stressed, I got it because it was just the nearest thing to me whilst I was in the que (LOL). But honestly like they are only around £1.00 and they are usually always on sale, I got this one on sale for 87p. (Like whattt)

Last of all from Superdrug I got myself a Barry M gelly hi-shine nail varnish in the shade 'Lychee 506'. Recently I have been into nude nail varnishes, I just think they look really natural and pretty, but not in your face. They also match everything so I decided to pick myself a nude nail varnish and this is the one I chose. It's so pretty on and I can see myself wearing this a lot throughout the year, come rain or sun. 

Now on to Topshop...

 

So if you have read my other blog posts, you will know I love the Joni high waisted jeans. So what did I do... I got myself another pair. The White ones. I think the white ones are so lovely for summer rather than black. These jeans look stunning with like a bright coloured top like coral or pink, or black but seeing as it's summer im trying to stay away from black and welcome the brighter colours into my wardrobe (Does that sound weird, I think it does, I don't even know, lool) These jeans are £36.00, so it is expensive but they are such good quality and fit me like a glove like no other jeans do.

Then I just got a nail varnish which is the most gorgeous duck egg blue colour, although it has got a slight hinge of purple aswell, it's so pretty and I actually never warm to colours like this because I didn't think they suited me but I'm actually really liking them and once again it's not a in your face colour. I think this was £5.00 but my friend kindly got it for me, so if your reading this, cheers!

Saveing the best to last... PRIMARK!!!

So I actually have been loving Primark at the moment, they have some lovely stuff in so I popped into there and got some bits and bobs. I didn't go all crazy because I only had a certain amount of money I could spend, but I did get some amazing items, and I'm really happy with what I got. Ramble over. 

First of all I got this high neck, ribbed top. (I'm sorry about the quality of this picture guys but I couldn't get it any better). I think this top will look amazing with my white jeans (even though it's black). The only bad thing for some people might be that it is that it's super see through but to be honest that doesn't really bother me. This top was only £4.00 and I love it.

Next I got a grey Bardot top, This will look nice with my white jeans or shorts and I really like this, I think it's really flattering on me and it was only £3.00. I'm definitely going to get some more of these, maybe a black, white and coral one because I actually love it so much and it's so cheap.  

The last clothing item I got was a black peplum top. It's in a kind of thick bobbly material, I can't describe it but it seems really nice qualify for Primark. It's nicely structed and it also has got a slight V neck which I love, it makes this top look really elegant and dressy if you know what I mean. I would probably wear It with jeans to make it more casual or a skirt to dress it up. (And yes it is black but it's too nice to leave outta my wardrobe). It was only £8.00 aswell, bargain or what?!.

 

Then I just got some lint rollers, I just like to use these on my black jeans because oh my gosh, it drives me mad when my jeans get so much fluff on and you can see it so obviously on black jeans so that's why I avoid them although I do love my black jeans. So yeah just a necessity for me really.

Last but not least, I just got some cheap flip flops for around the house, garden or whatever. There only £1.00 so to be honest I didn't expect much from them, but when I got home and tried them on properly, I was so surprised by how comfy they are, I will probably pick up a few more pairs of these aswell.

So that's it for now! I hope you have enjoyed this blog post. There will most definatly be a big Primark haul and a little MAC haul next month because I'm planning on splurging out.

Don't forget to follow me on social media, all usernames will be down below as usual.

Save or splurge?; Mac prep and prime highlighter

Hey guys!

its feels like such a long time since I have actually sat down and done a exciting blog post, but today I will be doing a save or splurge post. I'll basically be telling you whether or not a high end product is worth the price or whether a drugstore product is the same. I'm going to be basing this post on the MAC prep and prime highlighter.

So firstly It is £18.50 and i believe it comes in 4 different shades, my one is in 'lightboost'.

The highlighter I think is pretty amazing, I love the way that it is a pen because it gives you precise application and I also find it really easy to use. You can wear it underneath your makeup (like under your foundation) or on top of your makeup just like you would with a 'normal' concealer. I tend to use it on top of my foundation and I find it really good for highlighting my under eye area and brightening it up. It gives me a really healthy radiant look, which i don't find any other concealer gives me.

The only problem is that it sets really fast so you must work quickly with this concealer in order to have a flawless look. But if you can work quickly like me (he he) there will be no problems.

BUT... is it worth the splurge, in my opinion it is because like i said i have tried many cheaper concealers and i haven't found that it gives me that highlighted, healthy look that I want.

I defiantly would like to find a cheaper alternative but Macs products are way too good and not any one of Macs products have ever let me down, especially this concealer/highlighter (whatever its called). This may be one of my new favourites!

If any of you guys have found a concealer that compares to the Mac prep and prime then please do let me know.

Thank you for reading this blog post i hope you have enjoyed it. I have actually made my own Facebook page for my blog called 'Beauty & fashion geek' so if you like that page you wont miss a blog post from me ever again (yayy) and as per usual I will leave my usernames below.

love you all x

Maybelline the falsies volum' express mascara review

Hello guys! 

I'm so Sorry I haven't posted in 2 weeks but I've been so busy revising that I just haven't had time, but now I'm back and I'll try and post more than once a week. I'm going to try and post every Thursday and every Saturday so keep and eye out.  To make sure you don't miss out you can  follow me on Twitter, my username is Minniemouse_678.

Today I want to review the Maybellline the falsies volum' express mascara.

So the mascara is £7.99 -£8.99 depending on where you get it from. It states it gives you volume and gives your lashes a false effect. 

So this is by far my favourite drugstore mascara EVER!.

 It certainly does makes my lashes long and voluminous and you only need a few coats. I don't know if I would say it makes my lashes look 'false' but it does make my lashes look more of a statement than other mascaras do which totally makes me love it! The formula lasts all day, I would say about 9 hours and it is also waterproof. I also love the wand because it is quite long and round so it gets right into the roots of your lashes letting you get the most out of it, it's so easy to apply aswell and never smudges.  It dosent dry out quickly like some mascaras do and I think for the price it amazing. I will certainly be repurchising this mascara and if you get a chance to get this I certainly reccomend this because I love it and I think it's beautiful.

So that's it for this review... I love writing reviews for you guys, I hope you enjoy them and there will be many more coming up because I have so many products to review to you!. 

As per usual please leave any blog requests in the comments and I will try and do it... Thank you for reading this, don't forget to follow me, love you all!
