High End Favourites

Hi guys so today I am going to be talking all about my high end favourites which is rather exciting as usually I mainly talk about drugstore things but today I thought I'd try something a little different. It's safe to say that I do love my high end products and I reach for them on a almost daily basis and I have many favourites. 

Urban Decay Naked Pallets-

It's safe to say that my holy grail high end product if the Urban Decay Naked Pallets. I have the first and the third one and I'm hoping to get the second for christmas. I certainly reach for Naked 1 the most out of the two and it is my all time favourite palette but both have amazing pigmentation and they're very easily blended and work really with under cream eyeshadows. I honestly couldn't live without these. 

Bare Minerals Skinny Dip Bronzer-

I always find myself going back to this bronzer and loving it. It is slightly more orange toned than other bronzers but it never looks awful. It just gives a really nice natural bronzed look to the face. You can't contour with this as it isn't that ashy toned but it works beautifully as a bronzer. Also as I said I always go back to this and right now I am in a benefit Hoola stage but I used this today and I fell in love all over again if they ever discontinue this I'd cry for ages that's how much I love it! 

Benefit Hoola Bronzer-

As I said above I'm currently in a Benefit Hoola stage where for the past 2 weeks or so Hoola is the only bronzer I've been using. I've rarely reached for any other bronzer because it just ticks all the boxes for me. It has a very ashy cool toned pigment unlike any of my other bronzers which make it perfect as a contour shade. It is also good for all round bronzing. Also on days when I can't be bothered with eyeshadow but I want something on my eyes I've just been running Hoola through my crease to give a little bit of extra definition. 

MAC Peach Blossom lipstick-

I've talked about this lipstick many times over and over on my blog this current year and that's because it's just amazing. It wears really nice and applies really nice, the colour is really pretty and overall it's just a lovely product that's a staple for me. 

So I hope you all enjoyed todays blogpost.

Love you all...

See you soon...

Baby Skin VS Professional

Hi guys so today I have a very exciting blog post as these two primers are said to be very similar and everyone on Instagram always asks me which I prefer and which i'd recommend so I just thought I'd write a little blogpost on it. 

Baby Skin- Maybelline 

So the baby skin from Maybelline is the cheaper alternative of the two primers and I do think that is a very good cheaper alternative to the porefessional as it is silicone based like the porefessional but it is clear in consistency which does help under makeup as it doesn't alter the colour of your complexion when you wear it. Also it does help foundation glide on your skin really well and smooth. I don't notice a large difference in the size of my pores especially round my nose when they are quite large but it does help my foundation glide on better so it lasts a lot longer without sinking into my pores. I would say it has moderate staying power it doesn't keep your makeup on all day but when I use it for school I find my makeup still looks okay even when I get home. I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for anything more than about 6 hours wear out of a primer. 

Porefessional- Benefit 

The porefessional is the more expensive version of the two. But right now I just have a mini size but I have had the full size version and it is exactly the same, I do this primer when I want my makeup to stay on that bit longer so I wear this on an evening if i go out (not that it happens much). I did wear this when I had my dance show during the summer and it stayed on both nights of my show through everything which is what I like about this primer. It does have a very silicone esc feeling and it has a tint to it which isn't noticeable when you blend it out. Although because i'm very fair is I use too much I can notice it. 

All in all I adore both primers and I think that they are both worth the price they are it is just down to someones personal preference. But if you don't want to pay out for the porefessional then the Baby Skin is just as good. 

So I hope you all enjoyed todays post.

Love you all...

Cosy Layers for Autumn

However today I'm back and I'm going to tell you all about my favourite outfit for the autumn time right now. So I recently found this mustard coloured jumper at H&M and I fell in love with it. It's so gorgeous and it goes with absolutely everything. I then paired it with a collared shirt also from H&M and you can just see the bird print through it very faintly. I then threw on a jacket and a basic pair of denim jeans and my outfit is complete it's such a simple and cosy outfit for the autumn season.

Kiko Skin Tone Corrective Primer Review

`

Hi guys so today is going to be a review of a new primer I recently purchased and it's the Kiko skin tone corrective primer in peach. I got this n the Kiko Leeds store when they were having a huge sale and it was on a reduced price so I thought i'd pick it up and try it. This is also one of my first Kiko products so i'm very excited to try it out. 

I didn't know what to think when I tried this primer but after trying it for a week or so I can definitely tell a difference of how my skin looks under my foundation as it looks a lot more even especially where I get redness around my nose but this just evens it all out and makes my skin look a lot healthier. I can't say it makes a difference with the time that my foundation stays on for I find that it stays on for the usual amount of time that's around 6 hours ish before my foundation starts to now look its best. However I do see that my skin still looks really even because of the primer. I do find that it smooths out my skin and it does let my foundation go on a lot smoother and it becomes easier to bend out. Also spots are easier to cover up as it adds a smooth surface on top of the spot. I would highly recommend this primer to anyone looking for a smoothing primer that makes your skin look more even because of the colour correcting properties it has in it, also as it is peach toned you can put a very small amount under your eyes very lightly to counteract the dark circles under your eyes before you put foundation on.

So I hope you all enjoyed todays blogpost let me know if you've tired this primer or if you want to try it in the future.

Love you all...

See you soon... 

Hello Autumn

Hi guys so autumn is finally upon us and I am fully ready for everything autumn has to offer. I really love those cold days where you can just snuggle up under a warm blanket with some hot chocolate and watch a really good film. I also love the bitterly cold air outside that's really crisp whenever you walk into it. I love wrapping up in layers for jumpers scarfs and coats they all make me feel so cosy. I am also the type of person who prefers to be cold rather than hot so I live for autumn. Also autumn is only one season away from the most wonderful time of the year; christmas time! I am a very festive person who adores christmas so you can only imagine what I get like when that time get really close. 

Autumn also brings a very distinct weather change and I do love snuggling up in bed with some cosy pyjamas lots of pillows and fairy lights listing to the rain come down whilst blogging or doing something productive. The colours of autumn are also beautiful, I love all the burnt orange colours that come from the leaves and all the autumn colours of clothing with plaid scarfs and knit jumpers. Also with autumn comes halloween and decorating pumpkins and getting in the festive sprit, me and my friends do love halloween and we always do something fun every year. If you can't tell already I am truly a real autumn lover it's just one of my favourite times of year because of all of this and today I just wanted to share a couple of reasons why I love autumn as it's the 1st of September! 

Love you all...

Life Hacks for Back to School | Collab with Prettily Painted

Hi guys so as back to school is fast approaching I thought that today I would do a kind of advice blogpost on how to make going back to school a lot easier as I know it can be tough to get back into routine, plus I am going into Year 11 this year which is really scary to me but I feel that I can really give advice based of past experience. This post is also a collab with prettily painted here in the blog community you can check her blog out via this link www.prettilypainted.blogspot.co.uk and her blog and Instagram are both flawless. 

1. The night before:

I find it really helpful when going back to school to get everything ready the night before as when I do I am in a little less of a rush the next morning trying to collect all of my things. I am sometimes guilty of leaving things till the morning but if you give yourself a little insight that if you get everything ready on the night you can have 5 or 10 minutes extra in bed and who can't deny more sleep on a morning! 

2. Organisation

I find it personally really helpful to keep all of my work organised in big ring binder folders as when you go back to school you can just pick out the folders you have for the particular lessons that day and take them into school. Although I don't take my folders into school with me as I feel like I don't need to I like to have all my existing work in one place to help me locate it easier when it comes to revision. I also recommend getting a five subject notebook as I use them for revision to keep it all in one place so I don't have loads of loose sheets all around. I feel that if you become more organised when you go back to school you are going to learn better as you know where all your work is if you need it to help you. Also folders are great for organising controlled assessments as I did this for my science controlled assessment last year and it worked great. 

3, Multiple Alarms

My final tip is something I've sworn by for years now and that is using multiple alarms to get you up in the morning, as when you use just one alarm you are more likely to press snooze and sleep in longer whereas if you have two or three alarms to wake you up you get sick of turning alarms off so you get up in the end. Plus you also can get a few extra minutes sleep knowing that you're not going to sleep in as there is going to be an alarm waking you up. I highly recommend doing this as I prefer two alarms to one and I have been using this method for about 1-2 years now.

Pamper Evening Routine | Collab

Hi guys so today is going to be my pamper routine that I did once a week or so during the summer months I will be doing an updated one when it gets more to the autumn time but for now heres my summer pamper routine. This post is also a collab with Meg from youtube and you can check out her video with this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiDV6FLCKFg

The first thing I like to do is really give my skin a good pamper and to do this I like to use a face mask. My favourite at the moment is the Soap and Glory no clogs allowed as it really cleanses your skin and gets rid of impurities, this mask is also really good at getting rid of the unwanted spots you may have on your face as it really gets deep down and cleanses your skin. 

I then like to just follow up with a cleanser and my favourite at the moment is the simple micellar cleansing water on a cotton pad; and after I like to use the simple kind to skin toner as a kind of staple skin care routine. I then like to follow up with a really hydrating moisturiser the one I love and had been my holy grail for ages is the First Aid Beauty ultra repair cream. I then like to but the simple kind to eyes eye balm under my eyes to get rid of any puffiness or tiredness that may have crept in during the day. I also like to use the Soap and Glory Dr Spot on any blemishes I may have on my face. I then finally to complete my skincare use either the eos lip balm in sweet mint or the maybelline baby lips in intense care. 

Then I just like to chill in my room and watch Netflix I've currently been re-watching Once Upon a Time from the beginning again and it just keeps getting better and better. While I do this I also like to paint my nails and the colour I reach for most is Essie's mint candy apple it's just a stunning light pastel mint green colour. I then before I go to bed like to read a book to wind down a little and take my mind off things as I get lost in a story it's amazing. I'm currently reading a book called Fish out of Water by Natalie Wipple and it's amazing. 

I hope you all enjoyed todays blogpost and don't forget to check out Meg's video
