Vichy Dermablend Foundation Review

#beauty 4:21 pm

First of all guys I'm just going to apologise for not posting in Christ knows how long, things got very busy over the summer but now we're back along with a revamp on the blog!

Today I'm going to be telling you about my new favourite foundation, from the first time I tried it I knew I would be repurchasing! I hadn't ever heard of 'Vichy' until I was watching a ladies makeup tutorial where she was raving about this product, she went on talking about how it was also meant to cover tattoos and of course this caught my attention straight away! I thought if a foundation like this can cover tattoo's its high coverage enough to erase my dark circles, perfect!

I cant even begin to explain how excited I was when I received this little beauty in the post, the packaging is sleek and professional and although it may seem rather small for a 30ml bottle of foundation it sure as hell goes a long way! I got it in the shade '05 Porcelain' because being a milk bottle from the UK that I am, I need a foundation that is just as pale as me! It has a thick consistency but nowhere near cakey, it blends out perfectly with minimal effort (I use Real Techniques miracle complexion sponge) and dries to a near matte. Not the kind of matte where if you put a product on top of your foundation it turns into the biggest patch mess you've ever seen, but the kind of matte that doesn't dry out your skin, is perfectly blended and covers imperfections all at the same time.

This will probably be my favourite foundation for a life time! I have never used a foundation that has had such good coverage without being cakey, I've just completely fallen in love with it. I had countless compliments about this over the summer, I even wrote out a list of products for a customer at work!

All in all I couldn't recommend this product enough, I just think everyone needs to try this at least once in their lifetime and if they don't love it ill eat my words! There are many websites that sell this foundation but if you wanna have a little browse feel free to go on their website here.

I hope this helped those of you in a foundation dilemma and that you give it a try for yourselves!

Much love sweeties...

My Perfect Nude Lip Alternative

#beauty 7:45 pm

Gals, I have some terrible news...My Sleek Matte Me lipstick ran out and it was my favourite nude lipstick ever! It was the shade 'Birthday Suit' and for now I have to say farewell. (Until I get another one) But it's not all doom and gloom because I am going to be telling you all about my second favourite, my 'backup nude' if you like!

If you know me then you know I have a love for all things nude! Nude lipstick, nude nails, nude clothing, nude life! Okay maybe not nude life, apparently it's not socially acceptable to parade around nude all day...But anyway! This gal loves her nude lippy and the fact my favourite one ran out made me so sad! But not to worry because my 'Maybelline Creamy Mattes' lipstick was there to save the day!

I actually forgot how nice this lipstick was since I have been wearing my 'Sleek' lipstick nearly every time I've done my face! As the name gives away, the new 'Maybelline Colour Sensational Mattes' are in fact 'Creamy Mattes' and I fell in love as soon as I first put this on my lips! It made a nice change to come back to my 'Creamy Matte' because they keep your lips moisturised and don't dry them out unlike my 'Sleek' lipstick does if you reapply it. It also made a nice change to go back to a paler lipstick, I prefer darker nudes but I felt like it made my makeup look a bit more natural than it usually does and I quite liked it!

My 'Sleek Matte Me' lipstick is my favourite because it is a darker nude and it's long lasting, even sometimes after eating and drinking it's still going strong! It isn't tacky or sticky and dries quickly to a comfortable matte on your lips. Unless you reapply quite a few times then obviously your lips will become very dry! You also don't need alot, the slightest bit of lipstick on your applicator goes a long way with this product and I love it!

I'm not saying my 'Creamy Matte' is my second favourite because it is a bad product because it is anything but! Yes it comes off easier but it's such a nice pale nude that to be honest, you barely notice! I forget I even have a matte lipstick on when I wear it because it's so light and moisturising! I must say, while typing this I've realised the 'Sleek Matte Me' lipstick is really only my favourite because it lasts longer and is a darker matte!

I absolutely love both of these lipsticks but lets be honest. It's me, I love every lipstick! I would definitely recommend both of these products to every gal who loves her nude lippies! I have a review on the 'Sleek Matte Me' lipstick up already so if you haven't read it already be sure to go check it out!

If you were wondering what shade this lipstick is, it is called '930 Nude Embrace' from the 'Maybelline Colour Sensational Matte' range which you can check out here.

I hope this helped all you ladies who love their natural, nude lipsticks!

Makeover Monday - Mum's Birthday Look

#beauty 3:17 pm

My mum has been waiting for me to do her makeup for so long but I'm so used to doing my sisters face she has become my near on permanent dummy! But on Friday it was my mums bithday so after she opened her presents I decided to do her hair and makeup then take her out for lunch. (I know I'm adorable) I don't usually do my mums makeup to this extent, I usually keep it at the foundation with a little bit of bronzer, eyeshadow and mascara but this time I thought nah. We're going all out here mam!

1. Makeup Base
My mum actually went and moisturised before she came downstairs for me to do her makeup so I can't actually say what we used as a primer this time! Firstly I used my 'Rimmel London Lasting Finish Foundation' and applied it to her face using my damp beauty blender.

My mum has really fair hair on her eyebrows like me, but I am used to filling in my eyebrows quite dark and I didn't want to overwhelm her! So instead of my usual brow kit I actually took my eyebrow brush and used the shade 'Caffeine Fix' from my 'Fortune Favours The Brave Palette' and lightly filled in her brows. I was actually quite surprised how well this worked! You can slightly see them in the second picture as her full fringe covers them.

After finishing her brows I took my 'Collection Lasting Perfection Concealers' and using the shade 'Light' applied her highlight in an upside down triangle under her eyes, a little above her brows, down the bridge of her nose, and some on her upper lip & chin. I then made sure it was all blended in with my beauty blender. Once her highlight was done I took the same brand concealer in the shade 'Dark' and applied her contour just under her cheekbones, along her forehead and down the sides of her nose before blending them out so there were no harsh lines.

2. Set Your Face
The same as always with me, I took my trusty 'Johnson's Baby Powder' and applied it to her highlighted areas using a fluffy face brush. After doing this I took my 'Collection Highlight & Sculpt Contour Kit' and blended it in with her contoured areas with a contouring brush. I usually apply a little bit of blusher but lately I haven't been wearing it as much because I felt like it was taking the definition away from my contouring so I left it out on my mums makeup aswell.

3. Eyes
To prime her eyes I used my 'Collection Illuminating & Reviving Eye Primer' and applied it to her eyelids up to her brows. After doing this I took the shade 'Cashmere' from the 'Fortune Favours The Brave Palette' and applied it to the crease of her eyes, I then took the shade 'Caffeine Fix' and started to build up the colour in the outer corners of her eyes.

Once I had done this I took the shade 'Super Gold' from the same palette and applied it to her eyelids. I then used the shade 'New World' at the inner corners of her eyes for a highlight. After her eyeshadow was complete I applied my 'Sheer Cover Lengthening Mascara' to her top and bottom lashes before applying her natural looking false lashes.

4. Finishing Touches
To finish the look I took my 'Vivid Baked Highlighter' in the shade 'Peach Lights' and applied it to her cheekbones and down the bridge of her nose with a highlighting brush. My mum has quite thin lips so I thought I would try to make them look a bit more plumped by using the 'Rimmel London Lip Conour Pencil' to line her lips and then applied 'Rimmel London's Oh My Gloss' lipgloss in clear.

And there we have it! I was really pleased with how her makeup turned out because as I said, I hadn't done it to this extent before! I am actually going to add a before and after picture below because I thought it was such a dramatic difference!

RIGHT?! I also love how her eyes just 'popped'! They looked so bright once I was finished I don't even know what I did to make them look this blue! She will probably kill me once she finds out there is a before picture on here but I felt like it needed to be done! I'll be linking the products I used below so be sure to go check them out!

'Rimmel London Lasting Finish Foundation, Collection Lasting Perfection Concealers, Johnsons Baby Powder, Collection Contour Kit, Collection Eye Primer, Rimmel London Lip Contour Pencil & Rimmel London Oh My Gloss' can all be bought here.
'Fortune Favours The Brave Palette & Vivid Baked Highlighter' can be bought here.
'Sheer Cover Lengthening Mascara' can be bought here.
'No7 False Eyelashes' can be bought here.

And that's everything dolls! I hope you like this look because I loved the outcome! Be sure to go to my side bar and give me a follow on here and Bloglovin'! Also don't forget to hop on over to my Facebook page 'Katrina's Beauty Bible' and give it a like!

Enjoy my lovelies!...

Nicky Clarke Condition & Shine Styling Kit - First Impressions

#19mm 5:09 pm

I have had my eye on this bad boy kit for quite a while now and I'm so glad I've finally got it! I was originally going to wait until nearer September to get this for my hairdressing course but guess what? This kit went from £90 to £50 which I was going to get it at but it then went to £40 then down AGAIN to £25!!! How can a girl not get it early?! It's a 5 star, salon professional kit by the fabulous Nicky Clarke and I used all three hair styling tools for the first time today! I can't wait to tell you all about this kit so I'll review all three tools separately, enjoy!

Hair Dryer

First off, gal how pretty is it?! On the box it has a slight silvery look to it but I was pleasantly surprised when I took them out. They weren't silver, but a pretty chic champagne/pink colour and I fell in love immediately! All three products are pretty and sleek but what I love about this hair dryer is that it is nice and light compared to other salon professional hair dryers I have used which were quite heavy!

But don't be fooled, it may be a tiny bit smaller and lighter but this baby goes from nice and cool, to medium heat, to hot just like any other salon professional hair dryer does and has three speed settings as well as a cool setting just like any other salon professional hair dryer does! The size and weight doesn't alter the overall performance whatsoever which is what I love! I prefer to use smaller, dainty products rather than heavy, chunky ones simply because I think they are easier for me to work with in my personal experience. It is such a good hair dryer and I loved using it!

Straighteners

Again, the colour is super cute I literally can't get over how adorable they are! After using the same old GHD's for quite a few years (Yes I know, they should have been replaced by now!) I forgot how nice it was to use brand new straighteners! I used the hair dryer and the straighteners on my sisters hair to have a little play with them and oh my gosh I just couldn't cope with how nicely these straighteners performed!

Firstly what I thought was really cute is that they have a little lock. You hold the plates together and push up the lock located at the bottom of the straighteners which keeps them neat and safe in storage. Adorbs right?! I also like that you can turn the temperature up and down, I know nearly every pair of new straighteners have this nowadays but like I said I'm used to our old GHD's! Even the on/off button is now a revelation to me...

Anyway, enough about me being behind with the times! From the first stroke down her hair I just fell even more in love, my reaction was literally "OH MY GOD"! They are so nice to use and they are designed to make your hair sleek and shiny, which they did! They glide over the hair so effortlessly, leaving it perfectly straight with just one stroke. Ugh, I just can't get enough!

19mm Curling Tong

I felt like I needed to take a picture of the on/off and temperature buttons because I thought they were pretty. It has 1-6 temperature setting dependant on the thickness of the hair you are curling, cool right? I had a little play with these on my mums hair and I was so happy with the result! I'm not going to lie and say I'm a pro when it comes to curling hair but these made it so simple and done the job so quickly!

They have a 19mm barrel which I think is the size for a perfect curl in my personal opinion. Loose curls look absolutely lovely, don't get me wrong but on myself I prefer a little bit of a tighter curl. These tongs are in the middle of not being too big and not too small which I love! I'll admit I did accidentally burn myself a few times, but hey it's a learning curve!

To be honest, even though these tools had nothing but good reviews I did think to myself that there must be something wrong for them to have come down so dramatically in price. But no, I am so so happy with their performances and think they were such good value for money! I can't wait to have even more of a play around with them and come up with cute hairstyles!

Although I had my doubts, they are now gone completely. If you liked the look of all three of these products, I'm going to be linking where I got them from below so be sure to give them a try and let me know how you get on!

To purchase or have a little browse at these tools you can check them out here. Be quick while the offer is still on!

I hope you gals enjoyed this and give the Nicky Clarke kit a try! Don't forget to follow me on here and on Bloglovin', both of which can be found in my sidebar! Also, take yourself over to my Facebook page 'Katrina's Beauty Bible' to give it a like!

Thank you honey bee's!...

Fullips Lip Enhancer Review

#beauty 8:33 pm

I've had my lip enhancer for quite a while now and I must admit before I got it I was quite scared about using it after watching all of these 'Kylie Lip Challenge Fails'. Now however, I don't know where I would be without it!

I think the sizes you can get are 'Large Round, Meduim Oval & Small Oval', the size I have is 'Large Round'. My lips aren't really small but I wouldn't say they're really big either, they are kind of in the middle. I love the idea of having big juicy lips but having injections in my face isn't for me! So since I am too scared of being stabbed in the lips I thought I would try the 'Fullips Lip Enhancers' and I must say they do the job! I have seen better results with the 'Meduim Oval' and the 'Small Oval' but the size I use does definitely work.

For those of you who don't know, you use the enhancers by having slightly wet lips and you just literally pop them into the enhancer and suck. It sounds quite strange I know but there isn't really another way to describe it! You do this for about 15-30 seconds to start with and repeat. Keep checking until you have your lips plumped to how you would like and you're done!

I must admit, it doesn't last very long...A few hours tops I would say but it makes me feel a bit better either way! The 'Large Round' size doesn't pump your lips a hell of a lot like the smaller ovals do but I like the size it plumps mine to so if you were debating trying these I would recommend it!

I got mine for like £3 off Ebay and it is a legitimate Fullips enhancer! So if you fancy trying these out I would say definitely check them out on Ebay and see if you like them. I absolutely love mine but I wouldn't recommend doing the sucking action really hard because I done it when I was in a hurry and ended up bruising my lips! So definitely be careful when using these because if you do it wrong it will more than likely hurt you!

I hope this helped any of you ladies debating using these, I would definitely recommend them but please be careful with them! Don't wanna be walking around with bruised lips gals!

Happy reading my loves...

My Everyday Hair

#beauty 9:50 pm

I am having a bit of a writers block lately so I'm sorry I haven't been as active as I usually am, it's been a mix between temporary work, interviews, organising things for my mums birthday and more interviews so it's all been a bit hectic! I'm sorry for how late I am posting today, I kind of threw this post together with a few examples of my everyday hair styles because the second and third pictures are the styles I get most comments on so I thought why not!

The first picture is how I have my hair most of the time because I am super lazy and can't be bothered to do anything with it! I just literally use my heat protecting spray, straighten it and be done with it, I don't think hair partings really suit me so I usually end up flicking my hair back out of my face and just being done with it! Lazy girl problems!

Although I like just leaving my hair all down, there is so much of it that it's just always in my face! As you can imagine I end up flicking my hair out of my face with my hands about 100 times a day and this is what makes my hair end up getting oily rather quickly even on freshly cleaned hair, ugh! But don't worry my hair isn't an oil slick by the end of the day, I can just notice the slightest difference very quickly, probably because I am such a perfectionist.

I normally wear my hair like in the second picture on 2nd day hair, usually because I am already annoyed with it from the day before! But since I prefer to wear my hair down I take the section of hair just above my temples and tie it up, kind of like your average half up half down. I am not a massive fan of how it sits flat on my head once I've done this and since my hair isn't overly thick it doesn't sit very high. So what I do is take a bobby pin, flick my somewhat pony tail forward and slip the bobby pin through the hair band. What this does is make your 'pony' sit higher, while also giving you the appearance of super long hair!

I find it sort of looks like a pineapple but I am not ashamed to say I love it, I just think it's a really cute way to keep your hair off your face. I also pull my hair out a bit at the front to make it a bit messier and so it looks like it has more volume! Neat hair has never really been for me, it's either messy or nothing!

I love wearing my hair in two french braids as shown in the third picture, I am so happy they have come back in! At first I wasn't really sure about the hairstyle on me because if you don't already know, I really don't like my ears! But I'm not as self concious as I used to be and I wear my hair up a lot more now so yay for that! I can't actually do this hairstyle on myself so I always get my sister, the Queen of french braids to do it for me! I think it's such a cute way to wear your hair and I think I will be nagging my sister a hell of a lot to be doing it for me this summer!

Again, I always end up pulling at the braids and my baby hairs to make it look messier because it's just my personal preference. I think the only downside to this hairstyle is it makes my hair look a bit shorter, I don't really mind it but I thought I would add that in! I have had multiple compliments when I have worn my hair like this and again I think it's a cute way to get your hair off your face and neck this summer!

I hope you guys liked this post, I know it was a bit random but that just means it's a bit like me! Be sure to let me know your go to hairstyles for this summer either by email, commenting or you can message me by popping to my Facebook page 'Katrina's Beauty Bible'!

Thank you my loves!...

Makeover Monday - Bronzed

#beautiful 6:16 pm

I wasn't really sure on a name for this look so since there are quite a few brown and gold tones I decided to go with bronzed! When I started my sisters makeup this day there wasn't a specific direction I was going with it, I was mostly playing around with the 'Fortune Favours The Brave' palette! But nonetheless lets get started...

1. Makeup Base
First I applied 'NYC's Smooth Skin Perfecting Primer' and gently smoothed it all over her face. After priming I took my damp beauty blender and applied her 'Rimmel Match Perfection' foundation in the shade 'True Ivory' to her face. Once this was done I went ahead and filled in her brows using 'Makeup Revolution's Focus & Fix Brow Kit' in 'Dark'.

For her highlight and contour I used 'Collection's Lasting Perfection Concealers'. First I took the lightest concealer in the shade 'Fair' and applied an upside down triangular shape under her eyes, a little above her brows, down the bridge of her nose, above her lip and on her chin. I then blended it all out with a beauty blender. After the highlight was finished I used the darkest shade called 'Dark' and applied it just under her cheekbones, down the sides of her nose and to the top of her forehead, after this I blended it all out again.

2. Set Your Face
To set her face I went and took my trusty baby powder and applied it to her highlighted areas using a fluffy face brush. Once I finished this I used the 'Collection Highlight & Sculpt Contour Kit' to blend and define her contoured areas. I also added a little bit of blusher named 'Sugar' by 'Makeup Revolution' to the apples of her cheeks.

3. Eyes
First for her eyes I used the 'Collection Illuminating & Reviving Eye Primer' and applied it on her eyelid up to her brows. After priming her eyes I took the shade 'Cashmere' from the 'Fortune Favours The Brave' eyeshadow palette and applied it to the crease of her eyelid. After this I took the shade 'Caffeine Fix' and started to build up the colour in the outer corners of her eyes.

Once I was finished blending I took the shade 'Super Gold' and applied it to her eyelids, after doing this I used the shade 'New World' on the inner corners of her eyes for a highlight. Once her eyeshadow was finished I used the 'Makeup Revolution Double Flick Thick & Thin' eyeliner and applied it to her upper lashline. Once this was finished we applied the 'Sheer Cover Lengthening Mascara' to her upper and lower lashes before putting on her false eyelashes.

4. Finishing Touches
To finish the look I took the 'Makeup Revolution Peach Lights Highlighter' and applied to to her cheekbones and down the bridge of her nose using a highlighter brush then applied my favourite 'Sleek Matte Me' lipstick in 'Birthday Suit' to her lips.

And there we have it! Like I said on the first 'Makeover Monday' I'm not going to sit here and say they're the best makeup looks you'll ever see because they are far from it buuuuut its fun to have a little practice!

I'll link where you can get the products I used below to be sure to check them out! Also, let me know if theres anything in particular you would like to see by sending me a message on my Facebook page or by email. Both can be found in my side bar along with where you can follow my Bloglovin'!

Collection - Lasting Perfection Concealer Review

#beauty 8:41 pm

Firstly, let me just apologise for how inactive I have been this week but don't worry I haven't forgotten about you guys! I'm going to be telling you about my all time favourite concealers! They're by 'Collection' and yes they're a cheaper makeup brand but don't let that fool you because they have seriously upped their game!

I have not looked back since I started using these to contour and highlight because I just love them so much! They're creamy, super blendable, high coverage and they're only £4.20 each?! What I would say is don't wait to blend them in, do it straight away because once they're dry they're not budging! But then again it does say 16 hour wear! I honestly get so carried away with these concealers if I could get a whole bottle on my face I probably would...Anyway, the shades I get are called 'Fair' and 'Dark' and the applicator makes it really easy to apply your highlight and contour neatly and evenly.

What I like about the dark shade is that it's not too dark but not too light for your contouring so even if you do think its too light, once you've got your bronzer on top it brings it all together. All I can really say is these concealers are seriously underrated and I feel like everyone needs to try them and see how they get on! The first time I tried these I was so amazed, I can't stress enough how good they are! They also have 'Lasting Perfection' foundations aswell which I cannot wait to try!

I hope you guys try these and fall in love with them like I did, if you do try them be sure to let me know what you think! I'll link below where you can get these from so be sure to go check them out!

You can get both the light and dark concealers here.

Happy shopping! Don't forget to follow me on Bloglovin' and to like my Facebook page, both of which can be found in my sidebar!

Requested - How I Clean My Makeup Brushes

#beauty 5:39 pm

My friend recently asked me how I wash my makeup brushes so I thought instead of trying to explain it through messaging, I would make a post for her including step by step pictures and a video to help her and any other ladies who have been wondering how to clean their brushes! First we'll start with what you'll need!

Things You Need

1. Washing up liquid

2. Vegetable oil

3. Water

4. Bowl

Making The Mixture

First you're going to put whichever washing up liquid you've chosen into a bowl. There's not a specific amount that you should or shouldn't put in, it's just your personal preference. Either way, this is what will make your brushes squeaky clean!

Once you've decided how much washing up liquid you'll like in your bowl, you then add in a tad of vegetable oil. The vegetable oil is what makes your brushes super soft and the one I used has 'Lemon & Dill' in so it makes them smell sooo nice!

After you've finished the washing up liquid and the vegetable oil you're then going to add in just a tiny splash of water. This is just what brings it all together and makes it easier to clean the brushes.

Cleaning The Brushes

Now onto the fun part, the actual cleaning of the brushes! The picture to the left is one of my brushes before it was cleaned so you can see the makeup that is on the bristles. I know, it looks super dirty! But not to worry because we're going to sort it!

So as you can see by the video it's super simple! You just pop your damp brush in the mixture and using a swirling motion on the palm of your hand, clean the makeup from your brushes! What I like about this is you can actually see the makeup coming out of your brushes and know from the 'froth' that they're getting thoroughly cleaned!

This is my makeup brush after I used the mixture to clean it and as you can see, all the leftover makeup has been removed! After this I went ahead and done the rest of my brushes that needed cleaning.

Leave Them To Dry

Once you've finished cleaning your brushes, do the same swirling motion you did on your hand onto a towel to get the excess water out. After this, smooth out the bristles and leave them to dry on a flat surface with the ends hanging off. This helps them dry back into their original shape.

And there you have it! I hope this helped you ladies who didn't know a way of washing your makeup brushes! The items I use make them clean, super soft, smelling lush and you can get the items used from any shop! I'm glad this was requested as my brushes needed a good scrub! If you have any questions about this post or any requests please feel free to comment or message me through my Facebook page which can be found in my side bar!

Happy brush cleaning!...

Translucent Powder Alternative

#alternative 2:25 pm

Some of you ladies may have already heard of this alternative but for those of you who don't know, I hope this helps you!

The trusty translucent powder, where would we be without it? Translucent powder has become more popular since contouring and highlighting has turned into a MUST on our daily makeup routines. We don't really want these coloured powders to set our faces anymore, we want to set our highlight without it being turned a different colour! This is where translucent powders have become our best friends, they don't make the highlight darker and they set your makeup perfectly!

There are many different makes of translucent powders but I'm using 'MAC' as an example. Yes, yes I know 'MAC' are fabulous but do we really need to be spending £20.50 on a 8g pot when we can use an alternative that does exactly the same thing costing £1.10 for 200g? I know which one I'd rather do!

I started using baby powder to set my highlight quite a while ago, I mostly use it when I use oil based products for my primer because in my experience baby powder has kept my makeup matte for longer when I use this! Since I have rather oily skin this is perfect for me and I love the matte look! Maybe its just my inner little bargain hunter speaking when I say there really is no necessity to be spending £22.50 on an 8g pot? Make it 150g and I might think about it!

It only popped to my head to post about this today when I was thinking of all the people who don't know that you can use baby powder to set your face! I absolutely love using baby powder, it leaves your makeup extra matte, prevents your skin from getting oily, makes your face super smooth & soft and you can get scented ones too! What's better than having a face as soft as a babies bum and that smells amazing too?!

It's so easy to do, you just dip whatever makeup brush you would like to use into the powder. Tap off the excess and gently dab onto your highlighted areas. It's that simple!

I hope you guys like the sound of this more affordable translucent powder! You can buy baby powder from nearly every store and supermarket so be sure to give it a try and let me know how it goes for you!

I hope this helped!...

Ebay Waist Trainers - Do's or Dont's?

#ambassador 8:50 pm

I had always been curious about waist training but It wasn't until there was a sudden hype where we had the Kardashians, Beyonce, Nicki Minaj & many more curvalicious ladies sporting theirs so I thought to myself why not?

What started my wanting to train my waist was when I was reading a book about a Duchess so as you can imagine they had waist trained from a young age and the lady in the book had a 19 inch waist. I thought HOLY CRAP & went on and on to my mum saying how I wanted a 19 inch waist...I very quickly came back to Earth and realised how silly I was being as a 19 inch waist line is beyond tiny! It's no wonder these women waist trained from a young age as I don't think I could ever have done it!

Anyway I thought to myself okay...A 21 inch waist will do fine. And to be honest I don't even know what made me think this? I am very comfortable with my body, especially my waist. My waist is 24/25 inches so it wasn't really me wanting it smaller it was more me wanting to see if I could do it?

To start off I didn't want to go out of my way to buy an expensive waist trainer because I wanted to see how I handled it first. So off I went to trusty Ebay in hunt for a cheaper alternative and I found one for £4! BARGAIN! But it saddens me to say as I am always going on about my bargains that on this occasion it wasn't that great. Don't get me wrong when you have the trainer on it makes your waist look great but when it comes off you're right back where you started. Obviously I didn't just wear it for one day then give up! I wore this every day for a good month to see if I could see any difference, I started on the first hook for just around 4 hours a day then worked my way up the hooks and gradually increased how many hours I was wearing it.

The first picture above is it on the first hook and the second picture is on the second hook, I didn't bother taking a picture with it on the third hook because in all honestly it looked exactly the same as the second...As I say I done this for a full month but I just didn't notice any difference, of course everyone is different so the Ebay waist trainers may work for some of you but it just didn't really do anything for myself. I did read that if you have a smaller waist it may take some time for you to notice a difference which is understandable so I think if I desperately wanted to go down the route of waist training I would probably have to get an expensive one and be very patient!

I have had loads of girls I know asking me about the Ebay waist trainers and I explained how I have to you guys that everyone is different and it may work for you! But if all else fails it makes your waist look hella under a dress for a night out or something so if it doesn't work for anything else at least it can come in handy for something!

I love shopping on Ebay, I am on there all the time but on this occasion I wouldn't really recommend the waist trainers they sell on there but if you're starting out and just want a feel of what its like wearing them for a few days then give them a try! I hope this helped you ladies who are debating trying waist training! If you have any questions feel free to message me on my Facebook page which can be found in the side bar!

Love y'all!...

Collection - Highlight & Sculpt Contour Kit Review

#ambassador 3:31 pm

I really do have to give 'Collection' my praises because they really have upped their game! Usually when I think of 'Collection' I think of my 12/13 year old self only just really starting out with makeup and it was very rarely anything more than mascara! Back when 'Collection' and 'Miss Sporty' were your go to brands because they were cheaper! But lets be honest they weren't very good...Now though, 'Collection' have changed dramatically!

I remember their foundations either being too orange or too dark but hey you used them anyway because you thought it looked good! And after about an hour they went patchy as hell but you didn't think anything of it...Oh how lovely. But recently I have read countless positive reviews on their 'Lasting Perfection' and 'Illuminating' foundations which I will be trying! But for now I'm going to be doing a review on this countour kit of theirs I got for a £2.98 bargain!

Originally I was looking for a nice matte bronzer that wasn't too dark but not too light just because I fancied a change from my shimmery bronzer. That's when I saw this and once again it was because I thought the packaging was quite cute. It has a really nice highlighter (the picture doesn't do it justice) and the shade of the bronzer is perfect for me.

I was quite sceptical because I hadn't used 'Collection' in a good few years but I must say I wasn't disappointed! The powder is a very nice texture and blends nice and evenly. I do recommend using very little at first and start to build it up to how dark you want it because there is no going back once you've put loads on your face! What's strange when you're blending in this bronzer is it kind of has a mouse foundation feel to it? Not in a bad way because that's probably what makes it super blendable but it was a nice surprise!

All in all I would definitely recommend this product, it is such good value for money and it does the job! Lets be honest, a good contour kit for £2.98? You can't really go wrong there! I got mine from 'Asda' where it was £2.98 but you can also get this from 'Superdrug' where it costs a tad more but it's still not bad at £4.19!

You can get this off the 'Asda' website here. Or you can get it off the 'Superdrug' website here.

Hope you enjoyed dolls!

Primark £1 False Nails Review

#accessories 4:35 pm

I've mentioned 'Primark' once or twice in my posts but I don't think you guys understand my love! What bargain hunter isn't tempted by a bit of 'Primark' ay? Yeah they sell cute clothes but their little items of makeup, jewellery, hair accessories etc are my favourite because they make them so adorable! I could go on and on about their cute necklaces, belts & handbags but we are here to talk about their 'False Nails'.

For the ladies who are too lazy to go get their nails done or get frustrated with them when they do get them done, I feel y'all! I absolutely love acrylic nails but I just hate fighting with them when I try to get my false lashes on! I wasn't really down with the whole stick on nails when my sister first mentioned it to me because the first thing that came to mind was "Tacky cheap nails & tacky glue, nope." but I very quickly ate my words because now I'm in love with them and what's better is you can take them off whenever you like!

My favourite place to go when I fancy some cute nails is 'Primark'. I know some people might be thinking 'Cheap skate!' but don't be fooled just because they cost £1. They are super cute and have loads of different designs each with their own patterns. Below are a couple from their website.

What I like about these nails is they aren't horribly thick and chunky, they are nice and thin and there are enough sizes in every pack to fit perfectly on every nail size! I wouldn't recommend using the nail glue which comes with them because they come off very easily with that particular glue. Instead I got a cheap brush on nail glue from 'Savers' which works perfectly and keeps them on for days if you don't go out of your way to get them off!

I usually put these on when I'm going on a night out or for a special occasion because they do look just like acrylics but without all the hassle of booking in to get them done and without the price tag! Win-win I'd say! The first picture is of them on me and I think these are my favourite ones because when it comes to a stiletto, nude nail I'm there!

So if you want a cheaper alternative to having cute nails without spending £30 or just want the nails but want to be able to take them off when you want, I would definitely recommend these! I know not everyone has a 'Primark' near them but there are many other places that sell them, for example 'Claires'.

I hope this helped all the gals who are debating trying false nails but aren't really sure! They are only £1 for a pack of 24 (sometimes more!) from 'Primark' so be sure to check them out!

Happy reading darls!...

Peacocks Oversized Sunglasses

#accessories 5:00 pm

What's strange about this post is I'm not even sure if I'm telling you about these sunglasses as a review or just because I feel like everyone has to see them. Because EVERYONE has to see them!

So my sister and I were browsing 'Peacocks' the other week when we saw these sunglasses and our reaction to them was "Can you imagine it?" until we put them on...I felt FABULOUS! I've never really worn sunglasses that much and when I have I never went for oversized ones but I love the thick black frames and the pretty pink flowers! I feel like I should be going to have breakfast at Tiffany's with my queen Audrey but since I can't do that a McDonald's breakfast will have to do...

What I love most about these sunglasses is not only do they make you look like a hella sass queen, they're big enough to cover my under eye Prada bags when I go out without makeup on! They are the perfect accessory to sass up any outfit and I think if ever these were to break I'd probably cry. What's even better is I got these babies for £6 and I'm so glad I did like its not healthy how happy these sunglasses make me.

Unfortunately I couldn't find these on the 'Peacocks' website to link for you all but you must have a browse if you have one of their stores near you! I absolutely love these sunglasses and how fab they are!

I hope you ladies like them!

NYX Liquid Suede Lipstick Review

#beauty 12:19 pm

I have been dying to try 'NYX' and I am happy to say I have now officially experienced their Liquid Suede Lipsticks! 'NYX' is an american makeup brand so it was quite hard for me to find their lipsticks for a reasonable price here in the UK but I was told about an app called 'Depop' which is the BEST place to go for american makeup brands at affordable prices! I bought this off a lady on the app for £5 and I was so excited because it was the exact shade I was looking for which is named 'Vintage'.

I had this on for the whole day yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. I've always been more of a matte lip kinda gal but this lipstick is in the middle of not being matte but not gloss either? It is light, comfortable and long lasting which of course you have to love. It's also very pigmented and quite a thin formula so when I first applied this to my lips I was like DAMN. I found that if you apply a thin layer to your lips first then wait a bit and apply another it works best. I reapplied this maybe 2/3 times yesterday and that was only because I was eating and drinking!

I also love that its a gorgeous purple colour, I know some people save the plum & purple lipsticks for autumn but I wear whatever colour when I feel like it! I cropped the picture with me in above because I created a 'Subtle Vamp' look for you yesterday which I'm saving for Monday! But I thought while I was there I'd do a review on this lipstick for you. I really do recommend these lipsticks because they are fabulous! I'm going to be trying their 'Soft Matte' lipsticks soon so when I get my hands on them I will do a review for you guys!

I hope this review helped you ladies if any of you have been debating getting these lipsticks, I will be putting the link for where you can get these down below. Don't forget to check out the 'Depop' app, it has honestly been my life saver!

Just incase you didn't know 'NYX' are now available in Boots! I think It's only online though because I haven't seen it an any of their stores so you can go on their website here.

I hope this helped!...

My Everyday Makeup Routine

#beauty 9:11 pm

Okay guys, as promised I am going to be sharing with you my everyday makeup routine! I usually keep my makeup the same but I am going to be starting 'Makeover Monday' where every Monday I will be posting a new makeup look! I have a feeling this post will be rather long so lets get started!...

1. Makeup Base
Before you start your makeup it is so important to use a primer to give your foundation a flawless finish! On this look I used 'Rimmel London Stay Matte Primer', I then dampened my beauty blender and applied my 'Maybelline Fit Me Foundation' to my face & neck in the shade 'Classic Ivory'. After doing this I filled in my brows using the 'Makeup Revolution Focus & Fix Brow Kit' in 'Dark'.

After finishing my brows I took my 'Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer' in the shade 'Fair' and applied it in an upside down triangle under both eyes, a little on my forehead just above my brows and down the bridge of my nose, this is my highlight. I then blended it all out with my beauty blender and grabbed my other 'Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer' in the shade 'Dark'. This is used for my contour and it has to be blended in rather quickly because it dries very fast! I applied this just below my cheekbones, around the top of my forehead & both sides of my nose, after this we blend blend blend!

2. Set Your Face
Some people don't like using powders when doing their makeup and just leave it with the foundation but I prefer to set my face and keep it looking matte! To set my highlighter I used the 'MUA Skin Define Hydro Powder' and applied it to the areas where I used my 'Fair' highlighter and also down my neck. To set my contour I grabbed my 'Collection Highlight & Sculpt Contour Kit' (which I will be doing a review on soon!) and blended it in the areas where I used my 'Dark' concealer using my contour brush. To finish setting my face I took my 'Makeup Revolution Powder Blusher' in the shade 'Sugar' and applied a small amount to the apples of my cheeks.

3. Eyes
I keep my eyes rather simple with my everyday makeup, first I applied my 'Collection Illuminating & Reviving Eye Primer' to my eyelids and up to my brows. I then took the 7th shade in from my 'Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Palette' (from my last makeup look) and using a fluffy eyeshadow brush I blended it into the creases of my eyes. Also from the same palette I took the 1st shade and applied it under my brows for a defined arch. After this I took a small eyeshadow brush and applied the shade 'Super Gold' from my 'Fortune Favours The Brave Palette' to my eyelids and to my lower lash line, I then took the shade 'New World' and used it as an inner eye highlight. Lastly I took my 'Makeup Revolution Double Flick Thick & Thin' eyeliner and applied it along my upper lash line and added a touch of my 'Sheer Cover Lengthening Mascara' to my top and bottom lashes before applying my false eyelashes.

4. Finishing Touches
To finish this look I went ahead and took my 'Makeup Revolution Baked Highlighter' in 'Peach Lights' and using a highlighter brush, applied it to the tops of my cheekbones and down the bridge of my nose. After doing this I used my 'Fullips Lip Enhancer' in the shape 'Large Round' to give my lips just that little boost and applied my 'Sleek Makeup Matte Me Liquid Lipstick' in my favourite shade 'Birthday Suit' to finish off my look.

And that's it, my everyday makeup routine! I'm sorry I've posted quite late, today as been rather hectic but I have created a new look for you which will be posted on 'Makeover Monday'! I was really excited about how many direct views my last makeup look got so I really hope you guys enjoyed this! I will be linking the websites for all these products below so go check them out and let me know if you give them a try!

Pale Pinks Summer Makeup Look

#beauty 8:46 pm

I was going to focus on doing one post a day but oh well! I thought I'd share with you all my makeup I done a while ago and it's one of the rare pictures I've managed to take of myself where you can actually see my eyeshadow properly! I loved the pinks I used in this look & its perfect for the summer! I'm going to focus on the products I used on my eyes and lips because I'm going to share with you my everyday makeup routine soon and I use the same products for my base so I'm going to tell you how I got this eye look and what products I used!

After applying the base of my makeup I set my highlighted areas with translucent powder and my contour with bronzer. I then applied an even layer of my 'Collection Illuminating & Reviving Eye Primer' to my eyelids and up to my brows. I definitely recommend using an eye primer as it prevents your eyeshadow from creasing and keeps it on all day. I really like the 'Collection' eye primer as it does exactly the same as the high end brands and is only £4.99!

Once I had primed my eyes I took my 'Makeup Revolution Iconic 3' eyeshadow palette (above) which is a dupe for the 'Urban Decay Naked 3' palette and I'm just going to take this moment to praise 'Makeup Revolution' once again! How is it they never disappoint? I've come to the conclusion they must have Gods on hand when making their products! I love that this palette has both shimmery shades as well as mattes and they're so pigmented too! I can't imagine I will ever stop using 'Makeup Revolution' they make such high quality products and the best part? This palette was just £4! HALLELUJAH!!

Anyway back to the look, firstly I took the shade above numbered 7 which is a gorgeous pinky brown and using a fluffy eyeshadow brush I blended it into the crease of my eyelid for a subtle shadow. After doing this on both eyes I took the shade above numbered 2 and using a small eyeshadow brush applied it all over my eyelid. I love wearing these two colours on my eyes, I feel like they blend together really well and create a lovely fresh look. Lastly I applied the shade above numbered 1 to highlight under my eyebrow to define my brow arch.

To finish this look I applied my 'Makeup Revolution Double Flick Thick & Thin' eyeliner along my upper lash line, I love that they made this eyeliner with a thin and thick option it comes in so handy! I then added a touch of my 'Sheer Cover Lengthening Mascara' (my favourite mascara EVER) to my top & bottom lashes then applied my falsies. Keeping with the pinks I then applied my 'Makeup Revolution Blusher' in the shade 'Cotton Candy' and as a final touch my 'Sleek Makeup Matte Me' lipstick in the shade 'Birthday Suit'. If you have been keeping up to date with my blog you'll have seen a review on my 'Matte Me' liquid lipstick and how it is my absolute favourite lipstick in the world!

I hope you all enjoyed this 'Pale Pinks Summer Makeup Look'! I will be sharing more with you very soon including my everyday makeup routine! Don't hesitate to message me with any requests either through commenting or you can message me on my Facebook page which you will find in my sidebar. I now have a Bloglovin' account too so go give me a follow dolls! I'll be linking the websites where you can get these products below so give them a try and let me know what you think!

'Collection Illuminating & Reviving Eye Primer' can be bought here.

Requested - My Haircare Routine

#aussie 4:11 pm

After reading one of my first posts a lovely lady requested I share my haircare routine and I'm so glad she did because I have been waiting to share this with you guys! As I said in one of my recent posts I never really took care of my hair, didn't get it trimmed regularly and I used heat on it near on every day. Big no no! Above are the products I use on my hair so I'm going to be talking you through my haircare routine step by step and have a little review on the products while we're there. Enjoy!...

1: 'Dove Intensive Repair Shampoo'
After having an inch cut off my hair I decided I was going to start taking care of my hair properly because I would love it longer than it is so I went and bought 'Dove Intensive Repair Shampoo'. I don't know about you guys but I absolutely love 'Dove' products, their body wash, moisturisers, shampoos, conditioners. They're just amazing and always have such a gorgeous smell! To be honest it was the smell that sold this product to me! I use this shampoo every time I shower and it leaves my hair shiny and smelling fabulous.

2: 'Dove Intensive Repair Conditioner'
I got this conditioner and the shampoo in 'Morrisons' on a deal for 2 for £3, not bad right?! After washing out my shampoo I apply quite a generous amount of conditioner through the ends of my hair and make sure I focus smoothing it through to the tips, if there is leftover conditioner on my hands (which there usually is) I smooth it through the top of my hair too. The 'Intensive Repair' shampoo and conditioner are perfect to be used on damaged hair because they help to progressively make your hair stronger and they make it super soft, nourished, shiny and knot free!

3: 'Shwarzkopf Gliss Liquid Silk Express Hair Repair Conditioner'
I got this leave in conditioner in 'Savers' for £2. Firstly, what a bargain?! And second, how have I lived without this?! It's in a spray bottle and comes out as a light mist so there's not too much product going onto your hair, I can't quite place the scent but all I know is it smells good! After getting out of the shower and towel drying my hair I brush it all through and separate it in two sections down my sides. After this I spray around 3 mists down each side and make sure I add an extra to the ends and brush it all through again. Some people will probably think using a leave in conditioner is unnecessary as I conditioned my hair in the shower beforehand but I think this really adds to your ends being extra nourished and shiny! (I also spray a tiny bit on the top of my hair from a distance which leaves a nice shine) I then plait my hair and go to bed.

4: 'Aussie Take The Heat Defence Spray'
I also got this heat defence spray from 'Morrisons' for £3 and for 'Aussie' that's not too shabby! I mainly got this one because it specifically said you can use it on wet or dry hair and since I always shower at night I wanted one to be able to spray on before straightening my hair in the mornings. Of course if you shower in the mornings or during the day you can still repeat the steps above and just apply this before blow drying! I've always loved 'Aussie', their shampoos & conditioners are some of my favourite hair products ever! The smell of this heat defence spray is again what sold this product to me, it has such a gorgeous, exotic smell which is to die for! I use this before I straighten my hair which usually means I'm going out so I spray this through my hair and while it dries I do my makeup. By the time I'm done putting my face on my hair is dry and ready to go! So I go ahead and straighten my hair without the worry of damaging it with heat!

5: 'Tresemme Split Remedy Serum'
Again I bought this serum from 'Savers' for £2 and you all know I love me some 'Savers'! This product is actually meant for being smoothed through the hair before blow drying but it does say you can apply a small pump to the ends of your hair after styling for extra smoothness which is what I do! And it does exactly what it says, its good for if your hair has gone static too because my hair does all the time and this serum really tames it. This product also smells fabulous so by the time you've used all of these products on your hair it is left smelling absolutely AMAZING!

I've been doing this routine since I last had my hair cut which was 6 weeks ago and it has really helped to strengthen my hair, keep it shiny, has helped it grow, and it's always so soft it feels like it's been blessed by angels! I only ever use heat on my hair when I go out which isn't very often so that too has helped with my hair growth! I got all of these products from 'Morrisons' and 'Savers' so I'll link the websites below or you can check them out at any supermarket near you!

I hope this helps all you ladies with damaged hair because these products have certainly helped me! Be sure to let me know how you get on and don't forget to follow my Bloglovin' account in my sidebar as well as my Facebook page!

You can check these out on the 'Morrisons' website here. Or on the 'Savers' website here.

Hope you guys have a fab day!

My Daily Skincare Routine

#beauty 5:48 pm

Okay ladies, today I'm going to be telling you all about my skincare routine! Just like with my hair, I never really took care of it like I should have and I paid the price with bad breakouts! But never fear 'Neutrogena' is here! Originally I started using 'Clearasil Rapid Action Face Scrub' along with the 'Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturiser' but to be honest they didn't really do anything for my skin, don't get me wrong they're not bad products but I just found they weren't right for me. So I thought "I wonder if Neugrogena are any good" and sweet baby Jesus was I right!

The packaging, oh my gosh how adorable is it?! Simple, pretty and pink, what more can a girl ask for? The day I bought the items above I had quite bad, sore breakouts so when I joined my mum to go shopping I went out of my way to find these products. Not only did I find them, they were on rollback in Asda for £3 each. Can I get an AMEN. I was really excited to try these so after I took my makeup off that night I used one of the 'Cleansing Facial Wipes' just to try it and make sure I got all of my makeup off properly and OH MY LORD the smell! It's like you've been plonked into an exotic rainforest or something, they smell absolutely gorgeous!

I then used my hand face exfoliator to apply the 'Daily Scrub' and again the amazing smell hits you straight away which I absolutely love love love! It doesn't have any micro-beads in it so it isn't harsh on the skin, instead it forms a comfortable, cleansing froth which is easy to wash off once you're done. Once I'd done the 'Daily Scrub' it left my skin feeling tighter (not uncomfortably tight) which I didn't mind but I went and applied the 'Oil Free Moisturiser' which left my skin feeling like a babies bum! Not only that, but as soon as I put the moisturiser on I could really see how it evened out my skin, goodbye pores! After doing all of this I went to bed and when I woke up there were no spots to be seen! I was so amazed I couldn't believe how well it had actually worked!

Since buying these and having the overnight result I had I have continued to use them morning and night! In the morning's I do the 'Daily Scrub' and only apply the 'Oil Free Moisturiser' before I do my makeup (it makes a really nice primer!) but other than that I try to keep any unnecessary moisturisers off my face because I have really oily skin. I know the moisturiser is oil free but I find my skin less oily throughout the day if I don't apply the moisturiser in the morning. At night, if I have makeup on I do as explained above. I take my makeup off as normal and use a 'Cleansing Facial Wipe' followed by the 'Daily Scrub' and the 'Oil Free Moisturiser' then I get my bum off to bed! If I don't have makeup on I do exactly the same I just leave out the 'Facial Cleasing Wipe'.

I can't express how good this product is, I doubt I'll ever change my skincare routine now that I know how good 'Neutrogena' are! Honestly if you have bad breakouts like I did you seriously NEED to try these products because they are absolutely amazing! You can get these from any supermarket but I'll leave a link below for where I got mine from, I hope this helped all you ladies who suffer with breakouts!

You can read more about the products straight from the Neutrogena website here. Or you can have a look on the website from where I got mine here.

Be sure to let me know how you guys get on if you decide to try this product! I've added my new Facebook beauty page to my side bar and I'd love it if you ladies would go give it a like! Don't forget to give me a follow and share your favourite blogs of mine!

Sending love dolls!...
