NARS Sheer Glow Foundation & Samples

Hello beauties! I have a confession, I've been the most terrible foundation buyer, especially as a beauty blogger I should be better at this but I've never, ever had a truly fitting foundation. Don't get me wrong, I've tried to find the right colour and was content with the foundation I had, until one day when I saw my mum and she asked me why my face was a completely different colour to my neck. Ahh, no. I do not want to be one of those people. It's just so hard to find a fitting foundation, especially when looking in store and not wanting to end up with different colour streaks on your face!

7 Things That Have Changed

So, due to the fact I haven't posted in over half a year, I thought I'd explain and tell you 7 things that have changed in my life. I've been very very busy with college recently and have had to quit my job, I haven't had much time for posts although I miss it so much. I also won't have many more haul posts and such as I now don't have as much money. So apologies and I'll get started!

101 Things in 1001 Days!

Picture taken from someone elses 101 things blog post! Credit to her, this is not my own image. (Find her post HERE)

Hey guyss! Okay so I've seen a few other bloggers do this and it looks like an amazing idea! One blogger (Curls and Comets) said she's achieved a lot from doing this list. This has persuaded me to try and complete 101 things in 1001 days. Tricky... My goals in life might change over these days and I might stop writing in this blog (I hope not!), I might even steer away from all things beauty!! Nah, that'll never happen!

More Gelly Nails!

Hey guys! So when I said I bought loads of nail varnishes yesterday, it was my mother who took me to get them and I was reading all of the colour names out to her in excitement! Bearing in mind she's not really into makeup or on the nail varnish route... So I get in the car after my terrifying English exam today only to find that my gorgeous mum has gone out to boots to get me 4 more of these nail varnishes! How amazing is she?! So yeah just going to show you the new colours she bought me!

The first is 'Blackberry' GNP 2. It is a navy blue that is a deeper blue than the 'Blue Grape' GNP 17. 

Speaking of 'Blue Grape' GNP 17! Bless her, she tried to buy some of the colours I hadn't already bought from memory but accidentally bought me this colour! LUCKILY I was aiming to get this colour again because I love it so much so yeah! Lucky guess:3

Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint Barry M

Hello my beautifuls!
I'm so sorry I haven't posted in ages! I will try and remember to keep up to date!
Okay so I admit... Myself along with many other teenage girls have developed an obsession with the 'Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint' by Barry M. I admit it, as with all beauty products that look this great I was skeptical! I'm sorry! I love them so much oh my gosh! So I thought to myself, why buy one at a time? Why not buy 16? Yeah, exactly... So that's what I did! Today I went out and bought all of the colours that stood out to me the most (and that I had the money for). I am definitely going to go back and buy the rest of the collection! In my opinion they are not a thick varnish as at least two coats are needed to really bring out the colour. But they come in an amazing range of colour which I love! They are bright, colourful and look amazing! They are also extremely cheap compared to most nail varnishes, even drug store ones at only £3.99 a bottle. They come in bottles of 10ml which is enough to last you ages!

The picture above shows all of the nail varnishes I obsessively bought today. From left to right starting at the top they are: Rose hip, Papaya, Grapefruit, Passion Fruit, Blood Orange, Coconut, Lychee, Huckleburry, Sugar Apple, Greenberry, Guava, Blue Grape, Watermelon, Key Lime, Prickly Pear.

Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm

Hey Beauts! I'm going to be reviewing Revlon's new release to the UK - Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm.

A while ago, Revlon brought out a lip tint in the shape of a chubby crayon. This was the 'Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain' that took the beauty world by storm. I only have one of these but I can say that it is quite sheer and sticky although it does last a while. Whereas these new balms are matte as it says in the name so they aren't sticky and they are also a balm! This means it has all the benefits of a long wearing lipstick with the added benefits of moisturizing and easy application with the chubby stick shape. 

The product comes in a plastic casing with a silver base to turn for more product. It leaves a buttery feel on your lips and doesn't feel thick or cakey. They all have a light peppermint smell and as I don't usually like scented lipsticks, I was quite skeptic. But seeing as though everyone in the USA had been raving about these I thought I might as well give them a try. Luckily the scent is very subtle and if it hadn't been pointed out to me I honestly wouldn't have noticed! The peppermint in the lipstick formula gives a slight plump to the lips as with all lip products that contain this. Unfortunately, I only have 3 shades, though I will be buying more! They are all quite similar in colour. I own the shades 205 - Elusive, 240 - Striking and 250 - Standout.

 From top to bottom the shades are: 250 - Standout, 240 - Striking and 205 - Elusive.

Who Am I?

Hi guys!

So I saw my friend's blog the other day and thought it would be a really cool way to share my thoughts and queries with everyone.

I will mostly be talking about all aspects of beauty though there may be some other randoms in here...

I am a 16 year old girl so I'm basically the cliche for all bloggers these days.

I love beauty, acting, singing, listening to music and watching TV. Yet another stereotype I'm following up on!

I'm not that much of an expert on makeup YET but I'd like to do my best in teaching you all tricks, giving you reviews etc.

I hope you enjoy and I can't wait to start blogging!

Tori. X
