MAKE UP: four eyes freak

I thought id so something completley different here in pink is the new perfect, as you see im not technical and the lay out of this post is going to be different to the other as i wanted to mix it up abit. Anyway they will be taken as selfies as im not ao technical with everything just yet and it just something different again.  This is going to be a new series which will be aired on my blog every sunday at 11:30, so watch this space. Hope you like it. 

This looks is probably my favourite, its abit of a Kylie Jenner look with her famous nude lip which i am loving latley. Over the last couple of weeks iv been working my way though foundation and found my self loving bobbie brown, as im just bought a new mac one im such the type if person who will change the foundation on a daily basis because u just love the different looks they give me!

On to the powders of the face, i have been loving the new make up revolution sugar and spice blush pallette. , the colour and pigmentation is amazing, and the highlight and blush just go perfect together, totally my october favourate of this month! For the bronzer is a mixture between the soup and glory and the bobbie brown, they are such good products, when i got out, out then i contour my face with the bobbie brown they blend the rest of my face and the contour out with soup and glory, succh teo amazing products which i find so perfect. With my eyes im using the make uo revolution pallette, yet again they are making my want to wear them all the time, their products wow me and its such a dupe of the naked palettes by urban dexay, but i still love them more. 

I hope you like this new and exiting thing which is happening on pink is the perfect? Let me know in the comment, thanks for reading.

BEAUTY: make up revolution lips

1 POUND LIPS YOU SAY? I POUND LIPS? yes you heard right make up revolution lipsticks are 1 pound! When i heard about this i was so skeptical about how the quality was going to be, but by my i don't think ill by buying any mac lipsticks in these colours in a while. When it comes to make up I'm a bit of a snob wanting the high end expensive one, is it just me? anyway, now iv been introduced to the world of this cheap and very very cheer full make up,i must say I'm swooning over it all. 

As i normally spend over £12 for a good lipstick i am now wondering if its worth the money as i could buy 12 of these for just that one. I am so exited to wear these shade and see how they look as I'm the new lover of lipstick now over the year of 2014. Over all I'm pleased with the price, quality and colour of these.

On the blogging side of things I am hoping to start showing more make up looks over this month and see how it goes, as I'm wanting to show more of how my make up is and I'm becoming such a addict, anyway let me know how you feel about that, let me know in the comments. Thanks for reading.

BEAUTY: Sleek new eye brows

As most of my friends and family may be aware of, my eyes brows have to be a certain way, i try out every product in every colour to find the one i love the most! Right now i am loving the sleek eyebrow palette in light. I had seen this brand in super drug i though id try it out as id seen a few reviews about it, for the price i was so amazed, by far the best colour i have found yet. When i am normally looking for an eyebrow colour they are mainly pretty dark and quite reddy this has no hint of red in. It comes with a gel one and a powder, for me i don't use pencil and i don't use gel because in my opinion they don't work for me and they don't leave my eye brows how i like them. Although these times are changing and this gel is the perfect consistency to make them look natural and sleek on your face without being to "overpowering'. Over all i love this product and will be using it till it run outs, actually I'm going to make that my task, because iv never used anything up, so yeah I'm going to do that. 

Yes as i was saying i love this product, i love how it sits on your skin and the way its so flexible on how you use it, this is one product i would go and tell you to buy buy buy, because if your like my and your eyes brows have to be on point then you will love this product to pieces. Also if your wondering how picky i am with my eye brows, when i go out of have my make up done i have to do my own eye brows with my own products or i will not go anywhere (oppps). So have you liked anything this month in the eyebrow department or have anything you'd like to recommend? Thanks for reading lovelys!

BEAUTY: The Yorkshire soup co

Hello my lovelies, its been sooo long since i did my last blog post, nearly a month, but im back and written up all my blogposts now i just need to take the pictures. Personal stuff have come up in my life and blogging had to be out aside for abit but im back so watch this space. Today im talking about the most beautiful soups known to this planet which is the yorkshire soup co, their soups are amazing and look so edible like little cakes! When i first walked into this shop i was like "wow" the smell hit you in the face and then its just blew you away, walking about the shop looking at these massive cakes of soup, i just had to get my hands on some! 

Because the are so pretty i don't want to use them due to them being beautiful, and perfect, but i have such a lovely thing of which im going to do at christmas and then i will have to use them becausd i want to see if their beautiful scent will match up to their beautiful pressence in my bedrook side, which fills my room with a gorgeous smell, more than whats a air freshioner can do for sure! I have some to the conclusion that its going to have to give me such tempration and paid to ruin something so cute. I dont know how they do this but who actually knew soups could look so edible? Because there so small, they can be perfect for a birthday pressent plus for £9 for a box you really cannot go round when you look about £20 for box! 

Have any of you ever tried out some of thsse, if you have tell me so it can give me more tempration to use them ratger than the smell everything i open then box just to look at the and smile! Thank for reading lovelies.

BEAUTY: The body shop face

With part of body shop 3 for 2 offer yesterday, i had to pick up there bb cream, if you have read my posts over the last couple of weeks you will of found out that i have been using the elf tinter moisturiser, but as iv hit down back in the uk of my sunny holiday; i have found that my skin around my neck (as it never tans!!) is light as so it is my face. I actually might start fake tanning there because its really not right. Anyhoo! The moisturiser was abit to dark for me, so i poped in to get some argan oil for my hair and came across the make up, the lady was really lovely, but i couldnt understand a word she was saying so she probaby thought i was thick as dog poo. So here we have the all in one bb cream in shade 2 this is a really handy bb cream beacause you match it up to you and then it adapt to your skin colour which i find blumming amazing! As it was 3 for 2 i decided to pick up their primer. I use to use the nars one but iv stoped using that with only half the bottle left (not good). This one is matte and when i mean matte there not shine what so ever! Perfecf for if you have oily skin, its so thick and you can tell when you apply it you dont get any in your pores which is what i always look for! The wear if both of these are really good it gived such a naturalt finish to your skin and you can build it which is always a good thing to have because yoh never know whats your skin is going to be like from day to day. Plus these products go so well together, so you will mever fail to have perfect looking skin. Unless your me and have spit scars which are really visiable! (Sigh). I would really consider buying these if you have a bb cream just to try out of go for a tester in the store, if anyone has tried the argan oil from the body shop please tell me when you think of them because i am still yet to try it.

Plus more outfit posts are coming in september and iv got lots of shopping inbetween them so there will be loads of new clothes i will want to show you all.

BEAUTY: June Beauty Favourites

This is my first monthly favourites blog post, so I'm hoping you all will like it. Well lets get started. Some of these products i have been using for quite a while now and some i have brought over the month of June, as you can see all these products are what you would or i do use on my daily morning and evening routine. 

Lush Tea Tree Toner Water

I came across this product a couple of month ago, as I've said before i didn't like it as the beginning but not i can't go a day and night with out using it. It helps my spots stay at bay and when I'm not using it i can defiantly tell, my skins lives off it. I use this buy spraying it on cotton pad i don't tend to spray it on my face unless i feel like i haven't got all my make up off or i want to just let my skin seek in the goodness. When i first was in the beauty world i never really knew what a toner did really or if you really needed it, same with a cleanser i was oblivious to how key it is to have a good skin care routine which is going to benefit you skin, this is why over the years iv come out with spots and the just won't shift. This product could be used for all skin types i would say but id check if you have dry skin, my skins normal so i don't have to worry about this. As you can see iv got a 250g bottle, i originally had the smaller one but that just ran out to quickly so for my 18th birthday i got a lush voucher of £20 so i was hesitating to treat my skin to a massive bottle, which will last twice as long and maybe save me a little money as well. 

The Body Shop Tea Tree oil & Id Atomatics Tea Tree Oil

Well where i can i start with these products, it is my saver, iv already done a post on The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil  which is up on my blog, i only use this product when i put my make up on because it doesn't smell and dries really quickly. I put it on after iv toned my skin because while my make up is on it seem to work and help my spots, i love this product and i also use the pore minimiser as well which is an amazing product. The other one is the this id aromatic tea tree oil, i use this before i go to bed, it is the strongest smell ever, you can tell the difference with them, this is so much more natural for your skin. I got this at a shop in Leeds Centre, West Yorkshire near the train station. If you ever have troubled skin pure tea tree oil is the way forward, i would recommend you get one like that from a shop as its so much more cheaper and has so much more smell and makes such a difference. 

Lush Ultrabland Cleanser

I've recently done a blog post on this just this week actually here so i won't go into much detail. This is the best cleaners ever, i am hoping when my skin improve to try out some more products but this has really sorted my skin and really given it a boot up the arse and told it to kick it into gear. If you want to read more click on the like. 

Mask of Magnaminty

This is the best face mask ever, i used to use it when all over my skin, but i took a rest from it a couple of weeks a go to use this other face mask from lush which helps your skin. Now I've started using it again i only use it on my spots, or where can just see one going to be coming up through the skin, i don't tend to use it all over my skin now unless my skin really really needs it. When you put it on your face you can feel it working as the peppermint is seeking through your skin and it can feel you face tighten… i love it. I doesn't solve redness in my eyes as my spot are still red and flat but if i have break out then it solves it with in 10 min. just perfect. i use this up to 3 times a week. my skin isn't normally faced by harsh chemical or products it just soothes it and cleanses your skin so if you haven't got all your making up off i can guarantee it will be off by the end of this on your face. 

Garnier Fresh Eye Make-up Remover

Well i can't really say anything about this product as iv only really use it for my bottom eyelashes as iv got extension on the top. After iv quite the wipes and changed to this i can defiantly tell the difference. If you do use wipes to take your eye make up off id switch. I use to to use eye pad to take my make up off as i felt like water removed went into my eyes as its hurt a lot :(, but when i use this sometimes the mascara from my bottom lashes so since this doesn't have any oil its perfect to just get the left overs on my extensions. Its only a small bottle but you only need a small amount so no hassle in wanting to by some more like wipes. 

When my skin improve i do think ill be using this products again and these have dramatically changed my skin though out the whole of June, right now I'm panicking for my holiday, I'm going on Thursday and still haven't go anything pack or sorted and still got to get the rest of my bits and bobs for my suitcase plus my bikini body still isn't ready to my standards but these are thing you have have to live with… any way i hope you all have a brilliant rest of the week, and i will be back to post my last blog post for a week while I'm away, so when i get back they'll be a lot of outfit posts to be up on!

Lush Ultrabland 1 Month Trial

About a month ago i went into lush searching for my other favourite product Herbalism, the kind man came up to me and showed me everything to do for troubled skin and i was amazed. He said this would work wonders on my skin if i used nothing but it for a month (like i say on the bottom picture) so i did, i would say it has defiantly improved my skin and made it break out less but if i don't use it for one night i can tell the effect it has on my skin. I use this by first taking off my mascara on my bottom lashes (i have extensions on my top so review will be use very soon) then i apply this all over my face massaging it into my skin until i can tell all of my make up is socked up onto the greasy substance… after I've done that i went get a warm facial cloth and wipe it off, i do find that i have to basically wash it every times i use it all it sticks into the cloth and doesn't come off. I would recommend this but only for people who have like blemishes or spots that don't come up as red as it does nothing for red spots. 

My spots are red but are flat so i wouldn't call them spots really so my search for a product to reduce the redness it still on my hunt, I'm hoping that then i go away for a week in a couple of day they will bring them down a bit… hoping. For people who read my blog consistently will know i haven't been blogging much this is due to not having my laptop (boo!!), but before i go away I've got a blog post everyday and some ideas on outfit posts that will be shown to you tomorrow on that post…so stay tuned my lovelies.

Tea Tree Oil Saver

Over the past couple of month i have been trying to find products which are going to be helping my spots while i've been having my make up on (i know it seems impossible) but look not further, this little bottle is my life saver i couldn't think of anything which could help my skin/spots any better. I purchased this little bottle of joy in a pack with the pore minimiser (amazing as well), i didn't start using it till a couple of weeks ago, as it is an oil it dry really quick and doesn't leave as crusty bits underneath your make up…which we all hate don't we? This just smooths the skin out while soothing your spots at the same time, it does wonders and i think it acts as a barrier for make up to fall into my open spots making them worse as ever since iv been using this my skin hasn't has any breakouts. 

I only put this on it a morning before iv toned my skin with Lush Tea Tree Toner, i put 3 drips on the palm of my hand then get a finger and transfer it onto my face, it does try quickly so you will need to work fast (i do use a couple more drips just so i have very spot covered no matter how big/small). This products will last you a very long time as you don't need to use a lot but i will defiantly be using this product over and over again when it does decide to run out! On this i don't have anything bad to say about it really, it just the perfect little product which is so help full just to have in your bag, a truly amazing little thing. 

I've been shopping at body shop only for a little time now and everything is so lovely and cheap i think and they are all of such high quality for what you get and i think everything works well with my skin,i cannot wait to be able to spend some money of a couple for on their products in the future.

Night time Routine

Taking your make up off is a big part of taking care of your skin, espisially if you're using liquid foundation as if the product is not removed properly then this will cause the skin to take 3 days to repair, never mind this build up of dead skin and foundation in your pore causing spots (yuk who wants that!). Well here i am, showing you how you can take your make up of on a budget. 

Process:

Step 1:

First you are going to use the Ultrabland, and put a generous amount on your skin and massage it in, when your done thats and you can see that all your foundation is mixed in with your cleaners take some damp cotton pad and take it off, of use a wet flannel, i use the wet flannel because its less hassle and it removes all the cleanser off properly.

Step 2:

Dry your face, and spray and generous amount of the tea tree toner onto a cotton pad (or how much you want to use) i use quite a lot just so i feel satisfied that its got all in, but thats personal choice. Wipe the cotton pad all over your face a neck going through all the nut and cranny to get all your make up out of your pores. After iv done this i just spray my face with it and let it dry. 

Step 3:

We now move onto the Grease lightning, i use this all over my fore head due to thats where i tend to get spots over night and ialso apply it to where i have spots or feel one coming through. You only need a tiny amount on your finger and a very thin layer. With this product the saying "i little is a lot' come to mind. I only use the product at night never in the morning.

Step 4:

This is the mist, after everything is dry and settle just spray your face where ever you like, totally up to you. This is going to make your skin hydrated but not going to rub of or interfere with your other products. 

And there your done, i hope this blog has help people with spot and on a budget, let me know if you've tried anything or find product that work for you, i'd love to know!

Review: Esteè Lauder Clear Different Range

Targeted Treatment

Serum Treatment

People may think this is a pricey product which is going to be out of their price range, but just read it and i may change your mind, just maybe. As i went to get some new foundation as iv gone up god know how many shades the woman pointed out my spot. Well i wouldn't call them spots as my skin is smooth and their just red. She told me about the clear different range, first the serum; people think a serum is what older women use but its really good for young skin making it better for when you're older. She put the serum on my face telling me about it and how it get rid of blemishes and spot while decreasing the size of your pores before putting your make up on which will reduce break outs, she commented about how cleaning your face is essential (which i always do), this product is £45 which when she told me i died a little in side, all hope was not lost though as she gave me some sample's which have done the trick, when i cleanse my face its got not make up left on the pads, all my blemishes have gone, so over all i wouldn't let this price put you off as after all it will last you a good half year!

The one that i am extremely happy with and will recommend everyone just having this in their room when they get the odd blemish or red spot! I haven't found anything like this before, I got it on Tuesday and i applied it before i put my make up on to out before i put the serum on, my spot were so red, just wow in the morning my spot where just my normal skin colour it was amazing! I only apply this before i put my make up on because I use Lush Grease Lightning at night so not spots become worse after all your skin does repair its self over night! This product is 25 and you just have to use the tiniest amount, if you've ever got some extra cash i would recommend going to get it or ask for some sample to try before you buy!

Hope you're having a good week lovelies, let me know if you're trying anything the same at a lower price I'd love to know to try out!

The Body Shop Mini Haul

After hearing loads of good stuff about the Vitamin E range at The Body Shop, I already have a moisturiser so i wanted to try something different to that. As i was looking up and down i came across this beauty. This is the Vitamin E Face Mist, when i went up to the woman to explain when you use it; she stated that "you can use it when ever you like through out the day, plus if you spray if before you put it on before your make up it is used as a primer". I already use a primer but i need all the help to keep me makeup on, no matter how much money i spend. Its so simple and eye catching, I don't normally shop at The Body Shop but after iv started blogging I've started to expand my range of beauty products.

I've used this Deep Sleep Dreamy Pillow & Body Mist before but when i was younger i wasn't really sure if it was working, so now that I'm older and assessing my sleeping habit's i can tell weather its going to be doing its job. I wanted to get this because i have trouble with my sleeping, as have ever since I've had a fall off a horse a couple of months back which i still haven't gone and got seen, its not like i don't sleep i just wake up various times in the night then wonder why I'm always tired. After trying sleeping pills which worked sort of but I'm still not back to my old self. This problem doesn't help as i cant sleep past 9 due to me having to get up early to go cater to my horse...its become a habit but I'm hoping this is going to work for me as I've heard good stuff about it. 

I will do another post in a couple of week to tell you how these products have gone and if i like them or not and if they're worth you're money. 

I hope you're all having a good week and everyones well... Mines been great! Have you tried anything like these products or these one's? if so what was your thoughts on them?

Best Make Up Buys

Recently I've changed my whole foundation that I use, and I have to say its been the best decision I've ever made! I use to wear liquid foundation and when ever I put on powder i never thought it gave me the right coverage, until i found Bare Minerals. I use to walk past this stale and not really think anything of it until i tried it. I first tried the loose powder which was brilliant but i found out that i got better coverage off the compressed powder. 

Before I committed to anything, so i brought this little travel pack which have everything in it, so before i committed to anything i thought this would be the best idea to start with, after id finished with that i had to get some more. With the travel pack you get a small slanted brush which you apply your foundation with, when you get the bigger individual sets you will get a bigger brush, when i purchased it i found the small brush had better coverage as the big brush was to flimsy.

If you don't know anything about this make up then, it is a make up that doesn't go into your pores, the minerals help your skin rather than irritating it and causing you to have break ups. Since I have trouble with spots I'm very cautious on if i use concealer or not but i find this one amazing, its got the best converge that i have ever found.

In the picture, i have a mixture of products;
1. Foundation - medium
2. Touch-up veil
3. Bronzer
4. Concealer
5. Iluminizer

My Daily Makeup 

Everything i use works perfectly for my skin, how you found any make up which works good for spot prone skin?

New Beauty Buys

Body Shop Leeds - £5

This one i was a bit wary of getting as some oft them don't react good with my spots, but i though as my skin is clearing up i may as well give it a try. I do use the herbalism from lush and that is a cleaner so i find this good for after id done that. I actually like it as i don't normally get anything from The Body Shop but it calms my skin after the cleaner which can be very harsh at getting my make-up of, not that is use a very strong make up. I think this is going to be the one that finishes of my facial routine to clear my spots and get my that clear skin iv always wished for, for the past 2 years. 

Harvey Nicols Leeds - £61 (10% Discount)

As I walked into Harvey Nicols I was straight over to see the perfumes, this is the one that a normally get but i had ran out  a couple of months before. When the woman showed me this small bottle which was twice as strong as the other one i though in my head "i need to get this". While i was in the shop i'd sprayed it on me so when i was stood getting undressed for the sun bed, I just couldn't stop smelling myself. The smell was that overwhelming I fell in love with it all over again. So i had to buy it, the woman who was serving us was so lovely and helpful & she was so happy to see us again (probably because she knew she has a sale), i got 10% off which saved me some money... not a a lot but some. If you're looking for a perfume then i would just try this one you never know you may fall in love with it as much as me. 

Have you found a skin care range which work for spots, i'd love to to know! I hope you all have a had a good week and hope you all have another great bank holiday, cannot believe this is like this 5th one just this year and were not ever half way through.

Detox Water

Detox Waters

Iv become such a fan of detox water ever since i found out the effects of Lemon water, it so good for your skin, brain and just your whole well being, its been such a lift for me since i started drinking it. As i dont like water on its own i just always use squash i though it was really good for me, iv decided to cut out more of the sugary drinks (not always but im trying) for this because i can put the lemon in on a morning and then it will last me all day as i just need to fill it up with water.

I found these on twitter on a healthy food account, they just lit up my eyes with all the vibrant colour and just how beautiful they looked, i was instantly hooked! Some of them are unusual flavours but im going to be trying out all of  these to see what they will be like (exept the pinapple one as i cant have it).

I will be posting in a few weeks on how these got on and you'll see if my presentation is as good as theirs!! I would highly recommend drinking the lemon water atleast once a day as it can have such a imact (good wise) on your healthy and just in general. It swaps the boring water for something more tastey. It doesnt take much time and you can chose how strong you want it to be.

                                                                                                                       

Luscious Lush

Over the past few weeks i have been trying to find out what is good for my skin and whats not! I want to use something that isn't harsh like i use bareminerals make up (wish is fabulous), right well...

1.

2.

1. Herbalism 

Well i went into lush and the lovely man came over and started talking to me i was going into him about what sort of stuff i used in my skin and how often, as we got talking i was mentioning that i used the angels on bare skin (another lush product!!) you use it exactly the same as that nothing different. So i said it wasnt really doing anything for my spots, as they are really bad :( so then he said i should go and use this as an alternative to that. So i bought it and went on my way. I couldnt of wished for a better product, i dont take my make up of i use it to take my make up of instead of wipes (i take my eye make up or with wipes) i cant quite remember how he said it help spots but it seriously does work, i use it every day and night and the difference in my skin is amazing. When i use other cleaners i feel like my skins not clean and i love to wash my face and this basically does it all. I dont use a foundation which goes into your pores which helps a lot but all the dirt and muck which is collected in the day feels all brand new and gone. I also wasnt disapointed in how much i got i was really chuffed with the price it was and the amount it got... Really worth a must buy is your having trouble with your skin!

2. Tea Tree Water Toner

This product doesnt really do much for me in order of helping my spots but the lush man said i should keep on using it as it will help any hiding break outs which it mush be working as iv had hardly any of it. I love to use a toner as i feel it make my skin more tight and firmed after iv washed my face and get rid of any hidden dirt. I use it after the herbalism and the spray bottle makes it excellent for controlling how much you can use. If i fell my spots are dirty then i spray as much in the area (i may get abit carried away oops) but if i didnt have troubled skin i wouldnt opt for this products id go for one of their other products on offer. 

3. Mask of Magnaminty

I use this product 3 times a week. Twice at night and once in a morning, after iv used it my skin feels so much better you can feel it working as your skin get tighter and when its off i feel such a different in my spots they feel so calm and collected. Not like there going to be red, they are also soothed down wish is reallt good when im doing my make up as it more controlled surface to do it on. Some people dont like using face masks as it strips all the natural oil from your skin but tbh i think this actually helps it. There is a strong lavender smell to it but it does not linger on your skin after you've wash it off which is good if you aren't very keep on the smell. Basically how i use it is slap on as much as you need and leave it for 10 mins. I went in lush today and iv just purchesed there cool face mask called cosmetic warrior which have to be put into the fridge, these in last 3 weeks and have to be kept cool as the products are reallt strong but i will be doing a review on that laster on. 

3. Grease Lightning 

As iv said with all of these it will dramatically reduce your spots. I put it on at night just before i go to bed it dry super fast so you arent worrying that its going to be rubbing of on your pillow, i always wake up and see if there a difference and 8/10 times there is i couldn't ask for a better products if i tried. Although all these positives i only find on negative is that i always have to wash my face not wipe it as the left overs on the serum always effect my make up but apart for the minor disadvantage everything is fine. It really does do what it says on the tin. I always put it on the tiny spots the big spots and the place where i can feel a spot brewing and they are always come up with a white head or not at all saving me on the self consciousness of them. The thing i love id that you can reapply this product when ever you like but if you do that i wouldnt put a lot on as it will leave a white crush on your face. 

4. Enchanted eye cream 

Iv never really thought about using an eye cream before as i didnt see the use if it, but after i went for my make up trial and they put some on but i didnt really want one which had loads of chemical in so when i saw it i had to get it, i noticed abit of difference but dont think iv been using it much to notice to be honest but i would advise everyone to use an eye cream as its reallt thin skin which can get damaged and it just helps it be revived. 

Have you tired anything which helps spot pron skin or tried anything of these products and how have they worked for you? 

Lots of lots
