What I'm loving right now + mini haul!!

HELLOO everyone!
Long time you speak...
Right lets get started, I'm going to tell you what i'm loving right now!!!

Firstly for a while I've been loving the real techniques brushes!! These are from Samantha Chapman who is a beauty you-tuber who has a channel with her sister called Pixiwoo! You should all check them out they create awesome makeup tutorials. ANYWAY back on to her brushes I have been loving the powder brush which is brilliant for powders or mineral makeup, the expert face brush which is really good for liquid, cream or moose foundation because it is very dense and the blush brush which has a tapered top which makes it perfect for contouring and blush!! Another brush I've been loving is the Avon concealer brush which I use to conceal any blemishes with and sometimes for contouring my nose!!
I alsoo love the design of these brushes because they have a very fun colorful metallic handle which is eye catching, also they stand up so it is very functional and easy to stand.

Another thing I love at the moment is the Schwarzkopf got2be Powder'ful volumizing styling powder!!!
This is PERFECT for people with flat fine hair and I have normal hair but it is quite flat so this powder is fantastic to create volume with. WARNING: this powder is VERY thick, I would recommend putting a tiny bit on your hand first massaging it in your hands then run your fingers though your hair. If you dont and just put it on your hair from the bullet it will make your hair tacky and weirdly textured, NOT NICE. But putting tiny amounts into your hands first then building if needed will give you the best affect.


Next thing...well combination i have been loving together recently is the collection lasting perfection 16 hour concealer, it is the BEST concealer for under the eyes to combat under eye circles and has high enough coverage to over hyper pigmentation or blemishes. I sometimes use this alone without any foundation as it has a good coverage. The other thing that works AWESOME with this concealer is the soap and glory trick and treatment 'concealer'. This is totally different from the collection concealer because it has one universal color and doesn't give any coverage it is used to brighten and 'trick' people to believe that I have dewy radiated skin! I use it under my eyes, top of nose, forehead and chin. It gives the most beautiful sheen that will suit all skin types, for example dark skinned people will be able to use this and get awesome youthful skin. These two products together create the perfect flawless skin!!!

straying from makeup, I have tried to walk more throughout the week and I needed some inspiration, well I found an app that helped me to get walking. It is called run keeper and you can do different activities for example walking, running, swimming(which I don't understand how you can record that), biking etc. It times  and using GPS  it tracks where you walk and tells you when you have done one mile! It creates a map of where you walked!!! Also it tells you how long it takes you to do a mile per house for example 17 minutes per mile in a hour! What i also love is it tells me how many calories i have burned off! It is a great motivation tool to keep me walking. I would highly recommend anyone to install this app it is free and will help you track the exercise you do. 
I did 18.1 miles this week, which is a huge improvement compared to last week when I did 2 miles haha!

Okay today I went shopping in boots and got two products.
The first one is the Garnier micellar solution which removes makeup and tones the skin at the same time.
I was curious to see if it is the same as the L'Oreal miceallar solution so i bought this. On the plus side you get more product in the Garnier one 200ml more, and it is the same price so it is better value. 
 The last thing i got was a nail varnish, I wanted a a blue nail varnish color and looking around boots I seen the perfect dark metallic blue color from Essie in the shade Aruba blue, it is sooo beautiful, the brush is very wide and the formula is thick and perfect with two coats!!!http://www.boots.com/en/Essie-Nail-Polish-Aruba-Blue-13-5ml_1347681/
    

And that is the end of my blog post today (don't cryyy) haha

outfit of the night!

Helloo guys long time no see
Yesterday I went to a party with my friends and I thought I would show you what I wore :)
I wore a new playsuit from Boohoo!
 It is a very cute black with white flowers. It has quarter length sleeve and a fitted waist band to add definition. The shorts are breathable move around they also have pockets. 

I really love this playsuit, however it is very difficult to go to the toilet without help because of the zip!!


These are the shoes I wore, they are black suede wedges with an ankle strap. I wore these wedges because they are comfortable and go with the playsuit. These are from newlook and were about 20 pounds.
I didn't wear much jewelry because i think it would have been too much with the playsuit because it was quite loud anyway, but I wore these beautiful slightly drop earrings in a stunning ball shape with blue china est style. These were from accessorize and they were about 4 pound. 

  The nail polish I wore was from the  Revlon top speed range, the color is 220 bubble and it is a very stunning hot pink color.http://www.boots.com/en/Revlon-Top-Speed-8482-Fast-Dry-Nail-Enamel_1228364/
I brought a simple black clutch with gold hardware, with a tassel for the zip. This is very simple and elegant clutch that didn't override my outfit but just be an accessory.
 I wanted a bright red lip to go with the sixties feel of my outfit, so i opted for a rimmel London exaggerate full color lip liner in 024 red diva to line my lips and then fill them in. To go over the top of the liner I choose Revlon colorstay ultimate suede lipstick, which is a long lasting lipstick in the color 095 finale.http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-Exaggerate-Lip-Liner_6938/ http://www.boots.com/en/Revlon-Colorstay-8482-Ultimate-Suede-Lipstick_1311648/
 To finish my outfit off I used my favorite perfume called Nina L'Eau Nina ricci, it is a very beautiful fragrance, however i'm rubbish at describing scents  you should  to go to a perfume shop and smell this perfume. http://www.boots.com/en/Nina-Ricci-Nina-Leau-Eau-de-Toilette-30ml_1300828/
Thankyou for reading this blog and I hope everyone has a good weekend!!!

Nail polish I'm loving right now!!

Hello everybodyy !!

How was your Monday? Want it to be the weekend already ? Huh sameee 

Anyway to brighten up your Monday I will show you a nail polish I having been lovingg 
It is this BEAUTIFUL nail varnish from Maybelline color show Brocades line. I got the color 220 knitted gold. I don't really understand the knitted aspect of this however it is a very glittery gold polish that has a texture which makes the nail varnish more dimension so it looks very interesting on the nail and eye catching.
 This nail varnish is the perfect balance between glitter and normal polish, this is because glitter doesn't normally have much color and can look uneven and gloppy, however normal polish doesn't have the staying power like a glitter polish so this is the best balance between. It is VERY easy to apply, and with two coats you have the full depth of color. I also put a base coat on from Revlon and a top coat from Sally Hansen.
You can find this nail polish at boots, superdrug, tesco and asda I think! The average price is £3.99.
BUT HURRY becaause i think this collection is limited edition!!!!!!!
Thanks for reading

Helloo everybody!!

Today I went shopping and I got a few bits and bobs I would like to show you!  

I went into boots and I got a few things. 

Firstly I got a new hair dye because my hair is getting really dull and needs some color!
The hair color I got is called Morello Cherry 4.6 Deep Red, it is from the Garnier Nutrisse creme line. I like to use this hair dye because after it makes my hair Super smooth and doesnt dry or damage my hair as much as other hair dyes. 

This color is Really beautiful it is a rich dark red. My hair is brown which means it will turn to a very rich auburn color which suits my hair.  http://www.superdrug.com/garnier/garnier-nutrisse-creme-deep-red-46/invt/578609


Next I got the new Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm In 115 Whimsical, it is a very beautiful glossy, shimmery cherry red/purple color. I will put it to the test for a bit then come back with another post about my official opinions of this Revlon product.
