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!

Teen Blogger Meet up - Goody Bag and Box Swap

Hey people! So last post you guys saw was the one describing my amazing day out with six other lovely bloggers. This post is as promised, describing the things I received in my goody bag/box/pouch (I don't know what to call it!) and what I gave and received in the box swap.

Hey strangers! I have not been here for a while and I'm so sorry but with all of the college work and Christmas making me busy I just haven't had the time! It seems like all of my posts these days start with an apology... My New Years resolution is to make the time to post on my blog frequently!!

Small Boots Haul

Hey guys! I haven't bought makeup in a while as I've been trying to save recently, but I thought I'd treat myself and go on a small Boots haul, courtesy of my mothers credit card (I had been told that I need to buy something for myself instead of saving for presents for people for Christmas but I just couldn't take the guilt!). I'm just going to tell you guys what little picks I bought and should review a couple soon.

Soap & Glory Kick Ass Concealer Review

Hey beauties! So yes, I have finally given into the temptation of buying this product after months of it being on my wishlist. I'm the sort of person to have tons of beauty products written down to buy but then I go out and see other products and buy those instead... Does anyone else do this? After all the hype this concealer got, I knew it would be a good one to add to my collection so I went and bought it! Guess what, I was not disappointed! When the beauty world hype, they know what they're talking about. So I've had this product for about a month now (pictures taken less than a week after purchase and use), I thought I would use it for some time so I could give a true opinion and proper review.

Halloween Part I, II & III

Hello spooky cuties! So Halloween has come and gone and we're all left with our few pieces of candy and a scrawled up costume. I thought it would be nice to show you all what I decided to put on my face for this occasion. Now, I had three different places to go over the Halloween weekend so I had three different costumes to prepare which was the most fun thing to do because I love Halloween so much!

Soap & Glory Archery Pencil Review

Hello my girls! So lemme start by saying well done Soap & Glory, you've done it again. You've pushed me into buying this little beauty of a brow pencil for £10! Bit expensive I thought at first, until I began using it... I bet you guys can already tell what kind of review this is going to be, so I will TRY to not go completely crazy and force you all to buy this. HG HG HG HG!!! Okay. No more crazy.

First Day at College: FOTD & OOTD

                         

So for those of you who don't know, I have left high school and have just started college! There was a last minute change of plan as to which college I was going to but it was a good change. So today was my first day and I thought I'd share with you all what I wore on my face and my body!

#SEBloggerMeetup

Hello my lovelies! So the time has finally come for me to meet up with some other South East bloggers! Yay! I have been wanting to do this for a while but had no idea of how to be able to attend a meet! Luckily for me, my friend, or as she calls me "A blogger that lives near me" (thanks Livs) was already planning on going to a meetup on the 23/08/2014! For me this was amazing! I was so excited to meet so many more people who had the same interests as me and be able to find more blogs to follow and read through! In the back of my mind I was worrying that they would be mean or I wouldn't have enough knowledge about makeup to talk to them especially as I haven't had my blog for long! But wow, they were all so amazing! They were friendly and made me feel comfortable and made me feel like I'd known them for years! I honestly love them all so much *cringe*! This has been the best day I've had in a long time so I'm gonna talk you guys through it!

Corals, Mattes, Balms and Brushes

So I keep putting this off, I have no idea why, but it's gotten to a point in which I'm going to end up writing a July favourites in December! I have been trying out a few new things in July and I know there has been hype about a some of them, I have just been very late on the bandwagon for a few. 

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.
