Superdrug/Boots Haul

Hello! I'm sorry I've not posted anything in a while but I'm in holiday at the moment and all my Pre written posts got deleted! But I went shopping the other day and so here's what I bought and for the products I've used what my first impression is!


First of all in Boots there was a 3 for 2 offer on the maybelline products and so I got the colour tattoo in 'on and on bronze' which I used today and I love the colour and I didn't have it on for as long as the product says it lasts but I had it on around 8 hours and it stayed really well.

Next after loving my baby lips in 'pink punch' I decided to get it in 'cherry me' and this smells amazing!! I love the colour and I really recommend these.

Last from Boots I got the dream pure BB cream in 'medium' and I got the one for oily skin which the difference is that it has salicylic acid in. I haven't used this yet but when I have I'll write a review.

From Superdrug firstly I got the MUA power pout in 'justify' my friend got this the other day and I loved it so when I got the chance I went and bought it, it smells like after eights which is amazing and it's a red with a little orange tint in it. This product is only £3 and I love it.

Next I got two Witch products, I got the foaming face wash and the primer, I've never seen this brand but I want to give it a go, it's really reasonably priced and seems as though it could be quite good!

And last of all I got 3 Simple products, the deep cleansing face mask, the oil balancing moisturising and the toner, I've heard good things about these and so I'm glad I got the chance to buy these .

Thankyou for reading! Bye:)

Beauty Products Wish List

Hey! Today I'm going to do a 'Wish List' which is basically items that I'm wanting to buy within the next few months, I won't be able to write much about them but I'll explain a little as to why I want them.

First of all I would like to buy another one of Maybelline's Baby Lips but this time I want it in the shade 'Cherry Me'. After using my other one, which is in the shade 'Pink Punch' I really would like to buy this one.


Next, I have had my eye on the Boujoir Bronzing Powder for quite some time, I have gone to buy it multiple times but never actually done it, I've heard so many good review about it so I'm keen to purchase it.

Next on my list is the famous Essie Nail Varnish in 'Mint Candy Apple' so many people go on about this that it's made me want to buy it so bad! I definitely think I will be getting this soon as it looks such a pretty colour and so many people seem to love it.


Next is the MUA Power Pout, which is sort of a Lip Crayon, in the shade 'Justify'. My friend recently bought this and I'm in love with it! It smells like after eights which I love so that made me want to buy it and also I'm not sure what shade my friend bought but I really like this one.


And last of all is the MAC Studio Fix Fluid, I have recently bought a MAC concealer and now I am desperate to buy this foundation, my sister has it and she loves it and says it last all day which is something I really need in a foundation, at £21.50 it is pricey but I really would like to splash out and try it out.


Thankyou for reading! Bye!

Bodyshop Body Butter

Hello, so today I'm going to be reviewing Bodyshops Body Butter, I have tried a few different scents but only have the Blueberry one myself, these are normally £13 but go on sale quite a lot of the time so are then only £6.50, I think for these £13 is a lot to pay but it becomes reasonable when half price.


This smells absolutely amazing! All of the ones I have smelt, I love. 

Unusually, some of these body butters have are quite thick but then others are a lot more thin and runny, I don't know why this is but the Blueberry one I have now is thick.


You can really smell the product when you are wearing it and for me a little bit goes a long way, It doesn't take too long to soak into your skin when rubbed in well which is one of the main reason I love it, I hate having to wait for moisturizer to dry not knowing what to do.

I plan on buying the Apricot scent next as I really like that one aswell, I recommend these as there isn't really anything particularly bad to say about them!

You can buy these here but at the moment in stores they are half price!
Thankyou for reading!:)

Nightime Routine

Hello, I'm going to write about my nightime routine today, I don't do this every single night, only when I have put makeup on that day, so here it is!

Here are all the products I put on;

It's not a lot I would say because I just like to keep it all as simple as I can, I change my routine so much so this will probably change soon so when/if it does then I'll be sure to do an updated one!

So first I put on Simple Purifying Cleansing Lotion, I got this so long ago but I just didn't use it and I hated it and I rediscovered this not long ago and now I use it all the time, I want to buy more 'Simple' products at some point because I really like this, I just rub it into my skin and wash it off, I use this for eye makeup as well and it does that job well. You can buy it here for £2.99 http://www.boots.com/en/Simple-Kind-To-Skin-Purifying-Cleansing-Lotion-200ml_772/

Next I put a mix of Neutrogena's Oil-Free face wash and the Pink Grapefruit one, I bought the pink one first and it majorly dried out my skin but the two together seem to work well and this just further takes my makeup off and it's really good, after these are empty I'll probably try some more out though, you can buy the oil free one here for £2.99as it's on sale at the moment but its originally £4.94  http://www.boots.com/en/Neutrogena-Visibly-Clear-Oil-Free-Facial-Wash-200ml_1114061/ and the Pink Grapefruit one here for £3.29 on sale but its originally £4.94 http://www.boots.com/en/Neutrogena-Visibly-Clear-Pink-Grapefruit-Facial-Wash-200ml_1110491/

Sometimes then I would use a toner but I don't use one all of the time so I didn't include it.


Thankyou for reading, bye!:)

MAC Prolong Wear Concealer Review/First Impressions

Hello! So today I'm going to do a review on one of my recent purchases, which is the MAC Prolong Wear Concealer, I got this a few days ago and have only tried it a few times so it's a review and a first impressions (which it says in the title obviously!) so i'll get right into it!


Okay so first of all I got mine in the Shade NW20, when I got to the MAC counter/area I asked someone who worked there to see which shade I needed, I didn't really want to splash out a little on something that wasn't the right shade!



The packaging is nice and simple, it has a pump which I guess has it's pro's and con's, I do prefer having the concealer from a pump rather than being on a brush or being a stick form but with this pump it meant you couldn't control how much came from one pump so sometimes some could be wasted.

You need the tiniest bit as it goes such a long way! I was so amazed at how little you need. When I was putting it on, I used a small brush to dap it on then used my finger to blend it all out.

I put it on first under my eyes and it looked so much better afterwards! It has such a good coverage and it covered all of my blemishes really well!

Although this is a bit pricey at £15.50, it was definitely worth it as it definitely does last a long time! I'm definitely going to buy the foundation soon and eventually I might buy the powder.

Thankyou for reading, hope you enjoyed!

Schwarzkopf Got2Be Hairspray Review

Hello again! So today I'm going to review the 'Schwarzkopf Got2Be 2 Sexy Big Volume Hairspray' when I bought this around Christmas time I was well in need of a new hairspray and I went shopping with a friend and she said I should get it and it was only a few pounds so I decided to get it.



First of all the packaging is really pretty and that instantly drew me in, when first using it on my hair it seemed pretty good and it smelled really nice! But then after a minute or two my hair became really sticky and felt horrible, all my hair stuck together and became really cripsy I guess you could say! 

I left it in to see what the hold was like and it does hold okay, not the best I've tried but it seems to hold updo's better than curls etc.

I wouldn't really recommend this product at all unless you seem to like sticky hair! The only good things about this is the smell and the packaging which aren't exactly things to look for!

Thankyou for reading! Bye!

Mini Haul!

Hey, so today I'm just going to write about some products I've bought mostly today but some last week, this is quite a small hauls as they're is only about 7 items (which I think is quite small for a haul but some might not) 

I have used some of these products already so the ones I have I will give a small review about and if I haven't then I'm sure in some post in the future I'll write about them.



Okay so first of all I got two sample sizes of Yankee Candles, surprisingly I've never had a Yankee Candle before but I've always wanted one! I was out shopping and saw that in Clintons if you buy one you get the second half price so I went in but had no intentions of buying one as I only had a few pounds on me, for both of the it ended up costing only £2.70 and they burn for about 15 hours! I got 'Vanilla Cupcake' and 'Salted Caramel' and they smell amazing!! Before I had even lit them you can smell them so strongly in my room, the 'Vanilla Cupcake' is basically when it says and the 'Salted Caramel' smells like Butterscotch Angel Delight, they are a good price and smell great! I'll definitely get full sizes soon.



Next I bought Maybelline's Colossal Mascara and I got the Cat Eyes one, I've only used this once but the brush is really nice as it's curved and from when I put it on I had no clumps and my eyelashes looked really long! This was £7.99 from Boots and from what I've seen I really like it.

Next I got Maybellines Baby Lips, in the shade 'Pink Punch' I've wanted this for a while and I'm so glad I've finally got it! I haven't opened it yet but I've heard great things and its only £2.99!

I also got Rimmel's Wake Me Up Foundation, I've used this before and it really does do what it says as it makes you look more alive I guess you could say if it's early in the morning, it's got about medium coverage I would say and I got it from Boots also for £8.98 

Last of all this isn't really a 'beauty' item but I thought I would include it anyway! I got some aviator sunglasses, I purchased these from H&M and they were £4.99, I've wanted some of these for quite some time and they seem quite good quality so I'm happy with this purchase!


Thankyou for reading! I hope I didn't bore you! Bye!:)

Beauty Blogger Tag

Hello, so I wanted to do a tag today but I didn't have any in mind so I looked around and found this one, I can't remember where I found it so I'm sorry to whoever made it!

1. Name a beauty routine you barely do.
I don't moisturize as much as I probably should, I skip over it a lot of the time.

2. Is washing your makeup brushes something you do regularly?
Not as much as I should, I just wait until I think they need to be cleaned, I clean face brushes a lot more than eye brushes.

3. How long will you last with chipped nail varnish?
Not long, usually until I have time to go over it.

4. How long do you put off buying/replacing a beauty or nail polish product even if you need it (i.e., top coat, foundation and so on)?
I don't really put it off, I usually buy it before I desperately need it.

5. What is your worst beauty habit?
I try and skip out steps in my night/morning routines all the time just because I can't be bothered in the morning and night!

6. Name something non-beauty related that you put off doing all the time.
If I have something in my room that I need to take downstairs like a wrapper then I'll just say to myself I'll take it next time I'm downstairs (sorry if that didn't make sense, it did in my head!)

7. When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready until last minute?
No, I like to give myself a bit of time!

8. Can you commit to spending bans?
Unless someone takes my money off me then no! I'm like ooh i want that and that! It's so bad!!

9. How organised is your makeup and nail varnish collection?
It's all scattered around my room at the moment.

10. What is the longest time you've gone without writing a blog post?
About 3 days I think.

Thank you for reading! I had fun answering all of these questions so thank you to whoever made it! Sorry I forgot where I got it from! Bye!:)

My Everyday Makeup

Hello, so I've been wanting to do this for a while and I've only just got around to it, I'm going to show you my everyday makeup. I don't wear makeup every single day so I don't put this on all the time but this is for when i do put makeup on.

Here are all of the products that I use; 


And here is me when I have done my makeup!


As you might be able to tell I don't put a lot of like face product on, I like my eyes to be more bold than anything else so I keep my blush/bronzer to a minimum a lot of the time but here are all the products that I use.



Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (£4.19) http://www.boots.com/en/Collection-2000-Lasting-Perfection-Concealer_984434/

Barry M Gelly Nail Varnish

Hey! So today I'm going to do another review for you. Since it's summer I can paint my nails all the time as my school don't allow it and this means I have really been seeing what different nail varnishes are like.

Recently I have been absolutely loving the Barry M Gelly ones, at the moment I only have four but I really want to build up my collection and get more.


These are the ones like I currently have and from left to right they are; Blackberry, Blood Orange, Papaya and Raspberry.

My favourite one is 'Papaya' it doesn't come out quite the colour as it looks as it comes out a bit more orangey. The reason I love these so much is that first of all they come out a great colour and you only need one or two coats at the most, they are really shiny so they live up to the Hi-Shine name, because of this I never wear a topcoat with them as they don't chip much at all either.

They also have a pretty big colour range and I've not seen a colour that I wouldn't wear! 

You can buy these at boots for only £3.99 but I couldn't see 'Blood Orange' but it just looked the exact same as 'Red' so it's probably just been re-named as that does seem a more suitable name as it isn't orange at all!

I highly recommend these as they are amazing and affordable!

Thankyou for reading!:)
