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!:)
