ADELE <3

I'm so proud of this woman!

She looks stunning. I love how she looks so classy, respectable.

Her performance was amazzzingggg. Wish I was there just to see her perform.

If you haven't watched her performance check it out:

January Favourites

2012-02-02T15:56:00.000Z

Hey dolls!
I have decided I will be doing 'favourites' posts this year. I always said I'd do these last year. But always forgot. Hopefully I can keep it up. Somethings have been a favourite of mine for a very long time. And some things are new additions. Enjoy.

This month I've been loving...

1. 17 Blusher in 'Brickie'
I've been loving this blush this month. It's got less of a pinky tone. And has brown undertones. I just quickly sweep some under my cheek bones. It gives me a nice contour and also a flush of colour.
2. Rimmel London lipstick in 'Latino'
I've been wearing this colour on my lips all month. It's such a nice pink and it's so moisturizing. Perfect for this time of year.
3. Maybelline dream matte powder
This powder keeps me looking flawless and shine free all day. Lovely product that I will be happy to purchase again and again.

4. Carmex
A life saver for me. I pop a bit of this on my lips every morning before I start doing my make up for the day. And then keep reapplying all day. It leaves my lips so soft and super smooth. And keeps it protected from the horrid wind.
5. NYC showtime volumizing mascara 'carbon'
A new purchase of mine. But has been a favourite since I purchased it. Review coming soon.
6. ELF under eye concealer and highlighter.
I've been a fan of the concealer for months now. But this month I've been using the highlighter too. I just place some under my eyebrows to give them a lift. And also on the tear duct to give me that open eye look.

7. Bourjois precision liner intense.
Another recurring fave of mine. But I've reached for this most often this month. Love how it's so black and makes a statement on my eyes.
8.Collection 2000 extreme 24hour liquid eyeliner.
You all know how much I love this mascara. Love how it stays on all day.
9. Soap and Glory sexy motherpucker lipgloss 'nude'
I've been using this lip colour to give my lips a healthy, fresh and fuller look. It's not really sticky and it just enhances my natural lip colour.

10. ELF kabuki brush.
I have been loving using this brush to powder my skin. Review coming soon..
11.QVS foundation brush.
I love using this brush for my concealer. It conceals a large area in such a short time. Perfect for busy mornings.
12. This random lipgloss I found.
I've discovered this lipgloss, I have no idea where it's from. But for the past month I've loved it. The staying power is not that good. But it's smells amazing and looks good when first applied.

13. The Nivea soft moisturizer
I love this cream. It's been a staple for the past 3 years. But in the winter it's much more better. Keeps my skin moisturized and looking healthy.
14. Soap and Glory blueberry thrill body butter.
This is a rich butter. I have been loving this to moisturize my elbows, arms, legs etc. It's been a life saver in the past month.
15. Simple replenishing rich moisturizer.
I've been loving this cream. I've been using it as a primer. And you will find out why in my full review. Coming soon..

That's all my favourites for this month.

What have you been enjoying?

Review: Liz Earle

2012-01-28T12:41:00.001Z

Hi everyone, hope your all well.
Today I have a Liz Earle review. About a month ago I purchased two products for my mum. She suffers from psoriasis and I really wanted to get her something to feel good about again.
Psoriasis is a skin disease which leaves you with red, itchy and patchy skin. Psoriasis can't be cured, but it can be helped. There are many ointments and products out there to soothe the itching etc.
I did a bit of research and I found out that Liz Earle do some products for psoriasis. You can see more Liz Earle psoriasis products on their website Liz Earle and psoriasis.
Here's the two products I purchased:

Liz Earle orange flower botanical body wash

200ml £11.25

This product has a strong citrus smell. Once applied it foams up really quickly. A little really

does go a long way with this product.

I gave my mum one month to test it out and after I asked her about it, this is what she said:

She believes this product really does make her skin feel much better.

The redness around the patches start to fade. Her skin feels much more smoother.

She has noticed a huge difference with her skin. The smell also gives her a therapeutic feel and boosts her energy.

She recommends this product to all the psoriasis sufferers. Although this product is good.

This product will have a better effect on people with a little bit of psoriasis.

Liz Earle
Nourishing Botanical Body Cream.
200ml £16.25

I also purchased this product, so she could apply it after her shower.

The smell is the same as the body wash. Very citrus-y and also a tinge of ginger.

My mum applies this product after using the body wash.

My mum's views on this product:

Both products work together to make her skin feel smooth.

Soothes her skin and reduces the patchiness.

These are products that she is willing to purchase again and again!

So happy I bought these for her.

I hope you guys found this post useful.

What I've been up to - #1

2012-01-22T14:38:00.000Z

Hey Dolls

This weekend has been a very lazy weekend considering I have a bijillion essays to be doing...

But I just needed a break from everything and just needed a good old lazy weekend.

I will be doing a summary of my week from time to time. Just to let you guys know what I've been up

to.

♥ Recently I've been loving burning candles and reading books. Burning candles is slowly becoming an obsession of mine. It makes my room feel so cozy in this horrid cold weather.

♥ I have also been tweet, tweeting a lot recently. The main reason is because I have finally downloaded uber social on my phone. And it's just so fast and it's really easy to quickly tweet something. If you aren't following me on twitter make sure you do because that's the easiest way to catch me and ask me any questions or leave any post requests :D

♥ I have also been completely obsessed with my IPOD. Especially this week because I have no exams.

I have a lot of spare time now.

One of the great apps I have downloaded is Ibooks and this is such a convenient app. I love reading so much

but I never do enough of it. Until I downloaded this wonderful app. I have so many books to read. Yes I am

reading the Pretty Little Liars series. I'm on book number three and it is so good.

♥ Another app I have been playing like mad since Thursday is the infamous Tiny Tower. I'm sure

everyone knows about this little beauty. It's not the usual genre of game I'd go for

But it's super addictive :l

I have also been addicted to Temple run. But lets not get into that :p

♥ Rihanna's Talk that talk album has been on replay all week. Such an upbeat album to dance around

in your room to hahah.

♥ Finally 149 FOLLOWERS!

Say whaaaat?!

Thank you all so very much, it means the world to me. Hello to all of you beauties. Thanks for taking

a peek at my blog, hope you enjoy :D

Hope you guys enjoyed the post.

Collective Haul: 2011 Sales

2012-01-14T12:11:00.000Z

Hey Dolls!

Hope everyone is doing amazing! How has the New Year been for you so far?

This is my long over due sales haul. I've been meaning to put it up for some time now. But due to exams and college deadlines I had to postpone it.

But better late then never...

Firstly over the Christmas period and sales. I went all perfume obsessed!

My perfume collection isn't really that big, but lately I've been loving all fragrances.

I picked up these little beauties from Superdrugs.

I love this perfume. The way it looks so classy with the lace detailing.

I don't really know how to describe smell... sorry

It also came with a little 50ml lotion and a big bow clutch.

This perfume seems very fruity. And it's kind of a mature, evening smell.

It came with that 150 ml lotion.

And finally this little beauty.

I haven't really heard much about this perfume. But it's very nice and smells kind of like the Christina Aguilera perfume. And it came with the huge 200 ml lotion.

Then from superdrugs I also purchased

This colourworks pallete.

There's a really funny story behind this. When I bought this pallete I thought it was the

MUA pallete. However when I came home I realized it was the colourworks one.

Anyhoo it works just as good. The colours are pretty pigmented.

If you guys want like swatches and a full review just let me know.

Lastly I purchased this little beauty.

Superdrugs had a collection of studio boxes. I wanted to purchase the golden bronze box, but there

was only one left and it was all messed up :(

So I went for the pretty natural pallete.

Love!

Full review and swatches coming soon :D

And then from Primark I didn't really purchase much *SHOCKER*

But there wasn't really that many things that caught my eye. So I only picked up these...

I don't know what you'd call these. But I like to call them arm warmers.

First when I saw them I didn't really see the point in these. But they looked so cute and for £2.00 you can't really go wrong.

And then I purchased this leopard print, over sized scarf. Which I am in love with!!

Lastly from Dorothy Perkins I purchased these two goodies..

I needed a new college bag. This one is perfect. It's spacious and the front pockets makes it so much easier

to quickly grab things like, lip balms or lunch money.

It's got a longer strap and a shorter one.

And finally I caved in and purchased these little cutesy loafers. Their so cute :D

I hope you guys enjoyed this haul.

And I'd love to have links to your hauls.

Thanks for reading.

ELF: Daily Brush Cleaner

2012-01-02T15:29:00.001Z

Hey Dolls

Hope everyone is doing fine.

Today I have thoughts on the ELF daily brush cleanser.

ELF Daily Brush Cleaner.
£2.45

When I first purchased this product a couple of months ago I steered clear of it.

This is all down to the smell of the product.

My face is pretty sensitive, so I usually divert away from products that contain fragrances on them.

However a couple of days ago I had a sudden urge to use this brush cleanser.

And I must say I am impressed.

This bottle of brush cleanser does have some smell to it. But it works absoloutley amazing.

I used it to clean my eye brushes, the brushes had black shadows on them and

the cleanser made it so easy to clean them.

My brushes were left clean and like new after I'd washed them.

I love how it's a spritz bottle. It controls how much product I use. Usually two sprays does the trick.

For face brushes I'd use about two and half (as in for foundations...)

For only £2.45 I think this bottle is well worth it. Especially because you get a huge 250ml.

And a little does go a long way with this cleaner.

However I wouldn't recommend it if your looking for a brush cleaner to do heavy duty removal.

This cleaner is good for every day use hence the name.

It did not effect my skin after I used it :D.

I hope you found this post useful.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

2011-12-31T13:55:00.001Z

Hey dolls!

Wow one whole year over and done with. This year went too fast and I'm sure lots of people would agree.

2011 was a very busy year for me.

Things I did:

- Completed my GCSE's

- Went to Prom

- Got my results

- Started College

- Met so many new people

- Gained my own independence

- Found out who my real friends were

- Blogged more then the past year

- Really started building my make up collection

- Became more aware of the world around me

- Stopped being all "me, me, me"

That was really my year, summed up. I loved 2011. There really weren't that many down's. And I don't hope to remember them. I only wish to take the good memories with me.

So next year I hope to accomplish a lot of things.

I've always loved reading from a very young age. But then due to less time

I slowly drifted away from books.

But recently thanks to IBooks I can now read any book my heart desires and anywhere I like.

I've already started reading again. But I really want to read more in the new year.

I'm open to all books, so if you have any good ones, be sure to leave me some names :)

I want to feel more confident with who I am. I want to be able to go out and enjoy life as my self.

Pretty self explanatory.

I want to do up my own place and make it clutter free.

I would really LOVE to blog lots more. I've been such a rubbish blogger lately.

Promise I shall have more posts in the new year...

And finally I really want to take lots of pictures.

I want to capture all my memories of the year. I've realized in the past year

I haven't really taken much pictures.

And this year I want to be more creative, I want to edit pictures and just in general

take more pictures of every moment and capture my memories.

Hopefully next year I will have more of my own pictures to put up in the end of next year post

and share with you guys my year :D

That's my new year plans.

What are your plans?

Maybe do a post and leave your links below for me to check out?

Thank you guys for really paying attention to my blog the past year. It really makes me happy to

see people reading and enjoying my posts.

I have everybody has an amazing New Year.

See you next year :D

Dress Like Pixie Lott.

2011-12-18T14:00:00.018Z

Hey Dolls!

Today I have another dress like post. Today's one is going to be on Pixie Lott! I absoloutly love her. She is also someone who inspires me.

For this outfit I have adjusted it a little here and there. The outfit is not completely same, but it's quite similar. I've added a twist to make it wearable for the festive occasions :D

Pixie's dress looks like a chiffon material which has a peter pan collar already. However I thought for the

festive season just to jazz it up a bit we could add more glitters.

I've chosen this gorgeous necklace which can be worn on top of the basic white dress. The collar will make the whole dress look expensive and classy.

In my opinion I think the riding boots would do, if you chose to wear this outfit casually. However for a night out or the festive season you could add a nice pair of heels to give you that added boost.

For accessories I didn't want to over do it with another necklace. However Pixie has worn a few necklaces, which may have been because her outfit was meant for casual wear. So for the recreated outfit I wouldn't really add any other necklaces, but you could if you wanted to.Make sure to only go for small pieces because the collar and the necklace may make the outfit look too busy.

In the picture I also noticed that Pixie had a really nice statement ring. From what I could make of it, it looked like it was a turquoise-y, jade colour. So I added a ring which was around that colour. You can also go for many different colours because the collar reflects several colours. Mostly pinks, navy blues etc.

For bags I would pair the outfit with a little gold clutch, this is because the collar has gold reflexes to it and the

clutch would be like a statement piece from the look. The slouchy bag Pixie has will again be suitable for casual outfits.

Get The Look:

Peter Pan Collar Necklace

And there you have it. A fully recreated look!!

This look would be perfect for festive occasions, night outs, birthdays. Anything really.

I hope this post helps you..

My Winter Essentials.

2011-11-30T15:38:00.002Z

Hey Dolls! Hope everythings' good

Today I will be sharing my winter essentials with you. These are just a couple of things that help me in the winter time.

I love winter really, the best part is coming home and getting into cozy clothes and just lounging around, the one thing I hate about winter though, is that I get so lazy and stop looking after myself. However I just do a couple of things here and there to make it easier to do things. Hope this helps :D

- Firstly dry skin! It is a disaster for me in the winter. Don't you just hate it when you've moisturised, but then you apply your face make up and you notice dry patches. Uh that really annoys me. However about a year ago I decided to do something about it! I started using E45, it's a cream that treats dry skin. This is like a really intensive cream. It's perfect for people who suffer with dry skin, due to the wind and cold weather. I love this thing, it refreshes my skin and also leaves it so moisturised. This is my number one essential for winter.

- Another thing I really recommend for winter is a good hand cream. Due to the wind, I've noticed my hands get really dry and chapped. My cuticles all feel really weak. I use the Vaseline hand and nail lotion. It works a treat. I apply some before I leave the house, this way it's like a protective shield against the aggressive wind. I also apply some before going to bed. This way it repairs any damages from the day and leaves my hand smooth in the morning.

- Just like summer it is so important to stay hydrated in the winter. I always make sure I've got a bottle of water in my bag. Water is an amazing source of energy.Water is also really important to help us stay away from those harmful viruses such as flus etc. If you are not a fan of water, try flavoured water.

- My holy grail. The coco butter lip balm. This thing is amazing. I love it for the summer and it's twice as good in the winter. This has spf 15 in it. Therefore it's really good to protect your lips from getting burnt from heavy winds. I love it. It's an all round product for me.

- Due to harsh temperatures the face is the first target for wind. Exfoliating the skin removes dead skin cells and also gives you that gorgeous natural glow even in the winter. I love using the Simple exfoliator. It leaves my skin feeling so smooth and radiant.

- In the winter you will find dark colours on my nails. I don't know why but this feels like an essential to me. Nail colours. I feel like in the winter I take care of my hands even more. So I can be bothered with painting my nails.

- And lastly mascara! Waterproof mascara is the way forward for me in the winter. The wind always makes me teary and I feel my mascara goes everywhere, which is annoying but thank God for waterproof mascara. It works a treat!

That's all my winter essentials, things that make winter

run smoothly for me.

What's yours?

I hope this post helped you guys.

ELF: Lucious Liquid Lipstick

2011-11-13T13:49:00.002Z

Hey Dolls!

Hope your all doing good.

Today I will be sharing my thoughts on the ELF luscious liquid lipsticks. This was my first time trying this little beauty. And I must say I am impressed.

ELF luscious liquid lipstick
Shade: Raspberry
Price: £1.50

The lip colour you can see in the picture is exactly the colour you get on your lips. This lip product is so moisturizing. It feels like a lip balm when you apply it. Before you use this for the first time you have to make sure you twist it for about 12 times I believe. It says on the package in really tiny writing, I mean I hardly noticed it.

I love the fact that the colour stays on my lips for quite a long time. I feel I only need to reapply this only when the shine goes, other than that the colour sticks on my lips. I had to re check the website to see if this product was from the studio line. But it's from the original 1.50 range. Which I was really surprised about. The quality is amazing! It has this gorgeous bubble gum smell too.

I would recommend this to everyone who loves great lip products, but doesn't enjoy re-applying again and again.

I hope this post helped you.

Dress Like Aria Montgomery

2011-10-24T15:23:00.001+01:00

Hey Dolls! Hope your all good!

Today I am going to be doing this inspired post.

I love Aria from Pretty Little Liars. Her dress sense is really casual and girly. I chose to re create this outfit because I think it's perfect for college and just running errands. It's such a comfortable, laid back look.

From the look you can tell this outfit will be perfect for those not too cold autumn days.

I love the top and how she's layered it with the white top underneath. To me it makes the stripes more noticeable. From the image it looks like Aria has super skinny black jeans or leggings paired with ankle boots. Another reason why this look is perfect for college or school is because you have your average sized side bag. From the image I realised you can see a pocket on the outside of the bag. So I've used one which has pockets on the outside and also a short strap and a longer one. Aria has a huge necklace on. I've gone for this golden rusted floral necklace because I think it just stands out from the look.

Want to try this outfit?

I hope you guys enjoyed this post. Try this look out and let me know what you think of it.

Also if you would like me to do these posts on anyone specific, please leave your requests below or on twitter.

Lush-tastic boot-licious surprise sprinkled with monkeys.

2011-10-12T14:00:00.002+01:00

Hey everyone!

It's official I am no longer sweet sixteen. I am now and have been for a month 17.

Why has it taken nearly a month to post this?

Well because when I did turn 17, I wasn't really... excited.

I don't really know. I didn't do anything last month apart from go out with the family.

The real celebrations happen with my friends. So because of college etc we had to delay it till this month.

However better late than never...

So I'm now 17. Legal to driveeee. Can't wait to get myself behind the steering wheel.

For my birthday my friends and I went to an American Diner.

It was absoloutly amazing.

I loved having all my close friends with me. :D

I didn't take many snaps but here are a few blog worthy...

Now to the presents.

I wasn't really expecting presents this year.

However my family mostly gave me money, vouchers etc

But my lovely friends decided to spoil me...

They Know Me Too Well XD

And finally... The present that made all presents!!!

Meet Munkay!

He is my favourite cuddly little man!

My friends know that I am obsessed with monkeys. I love them.

So obviously as friends do they bought me this little fella.

And I love him.

Not very adventurous with naming things I know. But the munkay is a bit of a private joke between the bestie and I.

When you call him you have to say MUNKAY. Yes loudly.

(This is what happens after I drink coca cola....)

I know this post was late.

But I hope you enjoyed it and I will be back with my usual beauty ramblings before you know it

Until then....

ELF: Mineral foundation

2011-10-09T02:00:00.002+01:00

Hey Guys!

Hope your doing good.

As you know ELF had 2 amazing 50% off sales recently. I made my order way back in August. I felt so spoilt on the site. It was really addictive. Anyway I have decided I will be doing individual reviews because if I do it all in one post, things are going to get crazy.

So today I am going to be giving my views on the ELF mineral foundation. This was the first time I had tried the mineral range and I am in LOVE!

ELF mineral foundation.
Shade:
Warm. (for medium skin tones with a neutral undertone)
Original Price: £3.50
50% OFF: £1.75

I love this product. It is an amazing product to work with day in day out.

I use this product on days where I'm on a full on shift. Which is when I have full days at college

(9 am starts and finish at 5pm )

For £3.50 I think this product is well worth it. This product is so perfect for me because I'm not a person

who can have a full face of make up including liquid foundation, because liquid foundation makes my skin feel

trapped. Like it feels really thick. It's not the foundation I use, it's when I apply any foundation.

So this mineral foundation gives me amazing results and also the lightness I want. I have control with this foundation. I really don't need to worry about cakeyness. My skin feels really smooth.

The coverage is amazing too. I didn't think too much of this product but now I can't get enough.

It gives my skin a healthy glowy finish.

The range of shades are awesome. It fits my skin so well.

I apply this foundation with the ELF face kabuki brush. (Review coming soon)

it's so easy to blend in.

It's also got spf 15. Which really helped during the 'Indian Summer' we had here in England recently.

I recommend this foundation for everyone who likes a bit of coverage and a healthy finish to their skin.

Love this product. Only problem is there is such a little amount in the pot. I really wish they did a larger amount. But I can't wait to get my next pot.

Best £1.75 I had used in a long time :)

I hope you guys found this post helpful.

Trendy Tuesday Tip: Concealer Drama!!

2011-10-04T15:06:00.001+01:00

Hey dolls!

Hope everyone is doing amazing!

I know nearly everyone wears concealer. Concealer is one of those things I always use when I apply face make up.

Concealer is used to make those imperfections disappear.

It is so easy to over apply concealer and it makes your make up look too cakey.

When you feel your concealer looks too cakey just wrap a tissue around your finger and and gently in a

patting motion blot away the excess amount.

And your good to go :D

I hope this post was helpful!

Please make sure you

Lula Bloom - Blooming sensational!

2011-09-27T16:13:00.002+01:00

Hey dolls!

Hope your all doing good!

One of my weaknesses is buying skin care products....

But aren't we all obsessed with buying luxurious products, which feel oh so amazing on our body?

This is the newbie in my body care collection!

The Lula Bloom- Blooming sensational body lotion.

The first thing that attracted me was the packaging.

The packaging is really cute and reminds me of the Ed Hardy products.

It's in a plastic bottle and it's a whooping 350ml which is a huge amount.

The lotion itself is very moisturizing.

It smells really aromatic, something you would expect to find at a spa.

After rubbing it on your skin it turns into an oily texture. Which is a treat for dry skin, but it quickly evaporates leaving your skin so touchable.

After using this lotion I was left moisturised for a long period of time.

I purchased this cream for £1.00 from Superdrugs.

It was purchased a while ago, I'm not sure if it's still in stores.

If anyone know's where to purchase this cream or brand please leave it in the comments below :)

I hope you enjoyed this post.

Back To School: Haul & Organisation tips

2011-09-04T17:43:00.002+01:00

Hey dolls!

I start college tomorrow so I went into town today (lastiminute.com) and bought a couple of things.

Enjoy x

Four binders.

I bought four because I'm doing four subjects.

In these I will have plastic wallets and dividers.

I also have plain ruled paper for note making.

Dividers.

I am going to put these in my binders.

It will separate the different topics in the subjects, this will make it easier when revising.

Notepads.

For note making.

A4 Folio.

I will have this in my bag everyday. It will have my important hand outs etc.

At the end of the day when I come home I will have all my papers together.

What's in my pencil case?

3 sectioned pencil case.

I bought this pencil case in year 7 but just used it for a year or so.

It has three sections which makes it easier for you when your in a rush and your looking for a specific thing.

In one pocket I have my colourful, fun pens, which come in handy when note taking and revision.

In the middle section I just have an eraser and a correction tape.

Finally in the last section I just have two of my favorite pens to write with and a mechanical pencil.

That is it to my back to school series.

I hope you found these posts useful and informative.

Back To School: Lets talk make up...

2011-09-01T12:08:00.002+01:00

Hey everyone!

Hope your all doing good.

Heres another back to school post for you. Today I'm going to be talking about make up.

I know everyone is different. Some people like the whole work, others like a little wake up and the rest just walk out the door, looking just beautiful them.

What ever you like doing, I hope this post helps (:

P.s. I'm not saying you HAVE to wear all this make up, adjust it and do what you want to.

Face:

- For face I really reccommend using a mineral foundation. This is because mineral foundation is much more lighter then liquid foundation and it feels as if your wearing your skin, but better. I reccommend the ELF mineral foundation It has an amazing amount of spf 15.

- Many people usually use make up for school because they want to cover up. I really love the Natural Collection concealer it only comes in two colours but the formula is absoloutly amazing. I've been using it for 6 months now. It actually does cover my blemishes.

Even if you don't want a full face of make up and just want to cover up, add a little concealer and powder your face and your done.

- Then for a little colour, add a little bronzer and some natural blush colour. This is just to enhance your natural look.

Eyes:

- I usually like to keep my eyes neutral. A little eyeliner if I have a little time on my hand.

- However if you like the whole works then I reccommend a little trio like this MaxFactor one I don't know about you but I can barely open my eyes in the morning, therefore I expect hasslefree make up, so when everything is next to eachother It takes a whole load off my shoulder.

- If I was too do the whole eye make up look. I would start of by patting some of the lightest shade all over the lid. Then use the lighter dark colour and apply it on the crease. I would only use the lightest brown because the darker one, in my opinion is too harsh for school. And just highlight. and done.

- If your miss simple like me, then just go for the eyeliner on the bottom lash line look.

- Ofcourse make sure to apply your favourite mascara.

Lips:

- Again, like my whole face, I like to keep my lips quite neutral. I know the lipstick may look really bright. But it's actually not. I love the colour and it's like your lips, but healthier.

If your like me and love your sleep then you probably take the lazy girl's route.

My school make up routine:

#1 Moisturise my face. This wakes my face up alot!

#2 Apply concealer on my under eye circles and blemishes.

#3 Apply my dream matte powder. I love this powder for school. It's nearly full coverage and keeps my shine controlled.

#4 Apply some bronzer and blush.

#5 Apply some white eyeliner in my tear ducts and black eyeliner on the bottom lash line.

* Optional (for me) Mascara

#6 Apply some form of lip product on my way out the door.

And that is me done. I get the amount of coverage I need and it's easy and I'm out :D

Hope this post helped.

Sorry for the long one.

Trendy Tuesday Tip: Ran out of eyeshadow primer?

2011-08-30T11:58:00.001+01:00

Hey dolls!

I know lots of people use a primer to increase the life of their eyeshadow and also to stop it from creasing.

But what happens when you don't have any?

Well I reccommend you to use your concealer:

It gives you an even base to work with.
To make concealer work like a primer and actually hold your eyeshadow, just apply some translucent powder over the concealer.
And there you have it, your very own emergency primer.

Soap And Glory: Big Butter Blueberry Thrill Body Butter.

2011-08-28T14:30:00.005+01:00

Hey dolls, Hope you lot are doing amazing.

Today I am going to be doing a review on a fab product that I've been using for a couple of weeks now.

If you follow me on twitter then you might have heard me rave about this product ALOT.

This is my new love!

I've always had a thing for Soap and Glory products.

I mean who doesn't love a little bit of a luxorious product smothered on them?

My fave thing about Soap and Glory has to be their packaging. It's so cute and vintage - chic like.

About the butter:

This butter is very thick and moisturising. I wouldn't really be using a body butter in the summer because my skin is much more oiler. But as you know, the UK hasn't really had that much sun lately. So my skin has been going dry alot.

This butter is like a rescue butter. It's really intensive and feels really smooth when applied.

The smell is absoloutly divine. It smells like starbursts .. the chewy fruit sweets.

Mmm.

It contains 5 fruit mix, which explains the fruity smell and also helps in the intensive moisturising.

This butter is actually quite expensive going on for £9.19.

However if you need smooth skin in an instant then the Big Butter Blueberry Thrill Body Butter is for you. It is so worth it especially when you get a wooping 300ml in one tub :D

My winter must have!

I hope you guys enjoyed this post.

Back To School: Bag to school

2011-08-22T16:57:00.002+01:00

Hey everyone! Hope your all well.

Today I'm talking about my fave topic BAGS!

I personally love bags and you can never have too many or too little.

For back to school I myself prefer a good sized tote.

I am going to be showing you three types of bags which I reccommend for your specific need.

Which bag will suit your purpose?

What to think about when buying a bag for school:

1) How many things will you be carrying in your bag? If you are someone that has 6 lessons a day and need at least 4 books to be carried around throughout the day. Then you need a good reliable bag. Which actually has space for everything. I reccommend a good backpack for people who are in this situation.

McKenzie Adalade Back Pack
JD sport.

Backpacks are super roomy and they contain no health hazard with them. The weight of your books will all be balanced out.

2) What will you be carrying in your bag? If your someone who doesn't really carry books in your bag because you leave them at a school locker. Then I reccommend a cute little tote bag. This way there is enough space for the books to be carried around for a short period of time and your still rocking.

Drawstring flower print shopper.
NewLook.

Tote bags like this one may look a little flimsy. This is because they are created to look cute and not to carry a lot of things.

3) Everything put together. If your someone who has to carry a lot of books but you still want something that looks cute. Then I suggest you get an in-trend tote that will do you justice, like this one.

Utility canvas bag
Forever 21.

I love how this one looks so gorgeous and also looks reliable. It has a long strap and a short strap. The pockets in the front will allow easy access to things such as, pens, bus tickets, money for lunch etc.

Those are my tips for a good bag for school.

I hope you enjoyed this post and found it useful.

Back To School: Shoes, Shoes, Shoes

2011-08-20T13:33:00.001+01:00

Hey dolls!

It's nearly time to go back to school or any form of education. I honestly am scared to start my new sixth form, however I love to shop for back to school :)

One of the main things I really can't stress enough is shoes!

We all have hundreds and hundreds but when it comes to smart, casual and comfortable welack. Don't worry I'm in the same boat too.

I reccommend everyone to buy a specific pair of shoes that will be suitable for school or any formal occasions. I will be giving you lovelies, some tips and reccommendations which, I hope help.

What to do when shoe shopping:

1) Know what shoes will be suitable for your school. If your school allows you to wear multi coloured shoes then go for it. But I believe many schools here in the UK have a strict rule for black shoes. It goes with all the uniforms and it looks more elegant. So when shoe shopping step away from the gorgeous red pair of heels and walk towards a nice black pair.

2) Make sure the shoes you buy are comfortable. You will be in your shoes from the start of the morning till the late afternoon. You need something that will stay with you and make you WANT to stay on your toes. The best time to understand if a pair of shoes are comfortable are at the end of your shopping journey. This way you will have been walking as you would in school and your feet will be a little agitated, if the pair of shoes feels snug and fits like a glove, then it's a winner.

3) The last and most important tip is make sure the shoes will last you long. I know when people walk into Primark and see all those cute ballet flats you can't resist. But your just going to have to. Primark do have very nice shoes. but honestly it isn't the most reliable. The pair you buy from Primark will only last 6 days wheras if you buy a more pricier pair you will be guranteed they will last for 6 months.

I really hope you take these tips on board whilst shopping for school shoes :)

Here are 3 types of shoes that you can go for:

1) The infamous ballet pumps.

Most people go for this type. They look smart and they feel so comfortable.

I reccommend these for everyone who wants a bit of style and sensibility on there feet.

Most schools will allow these because they are simple and go with any uniform.

2) The Brogue

This is in trend, Comfortable for some and also gives your a height a little boost.

I reccommend these shoes for those who want a simple fuss free pair.

Again this pair will be allowed in most schools.

3) Here come the heels

So this pair is for the more older girls. Those who have just left school for college.

This can also be worn by those who find heels comfortable.

I reccommend these type of shoes for those who want an added boost and burst of style in their outfits.

I'm not sure if many schools allow this type of footwear however many colleges allow you to wear what ever you want.

Those are my trips and tricks you can consider whilst back to school shoe shopping.

I really hope this post was helpful. If there are any questions just leave them below.

Clouds Are Pink's First birthday.

2011-08-14T17:18:00.001+01:00

WOW!

I cannot beleive it has been ONE whole year of blogging. It went so quickly I didn't even realise until recently, to be precise last Sunday haha.

I remember starting this account on March 2010 and then after 5 months of reading a loving other peoples blogs I decided to finally start mine on August 14 2010.

When I finally started blogging I didn't really understand the concept of followers or anything I just thought people would just read. This year I've been really into my blog. I've gained a few followers which has made me love blogging even more.

Here are some FAQs to get things straight :D

1) Why do some of your images have the url: http://fashionandbeautyloves.blogspot.com on them?

I get this question alot! The thing is, when I first started out blogging I really didn't have a clue about anything. I just came out with a name that at the time sounded good. But then I realised that name is too long and not that good. So then I came up with http://cloudsarepink.blogspot.com/

2) How did you get the name for your blog?

Funny story: One day I was revising for my exams and that and then I was watching the sky and it was a gorgeous Pinky colour. I fell in love and there and then I realised that would be perfect!

3) Who are your favourite bloggers?

Ooh I have soo many!

I am mostly inspired by Zoe from http://schoee.blogspot.com/

Her blog is just to DIE for. I love everything about it and she's such a wonderful girl. Check her out.

4) How did you get your image header?

I got the picture from tumblr and then I just adjusted it and put some text on it by using Photobucket :D

Thats all for now. If you have any other questions just leave them in the comments or Tweet me :D

Thank you guys so much for reading and giving response over the past year, It really means alot.

I cannot wait to have another amazing year with my loveliesss :)

Collective Haul: FT Primark, Monsoon, Newlook...

2011-08-07T16:08:00.003+01:00

Hey dolls!

Hope you guys are doing amazing, How's your summer going?

Today I have a collective haul for you. These are just things I bought in the past and never got to do a haul on them. It was also requested on twitter.

If you have any requests leave them here, or on twitter :D

From H&M I bought these two cardigans. They are really soft and I love the colours.

I think these cardigans will come really handy for college.

Both in size small and they are

both £9.99.

From New Look I just bought shoes.

This is the first pair. I'm not really a fan of the lace up Brogues but I really like this 'ballet flat' design.

I love it because it looks really feminine. It's also really comfortable to walk in.

This was from the sales and it was £10 again really good for college, interviews or anything really.

This is the next pair. These are wedges and I love wedges because not only do they give your height a boost but it's pain free. These are a tan colour, they are real suede so you have to be careful because of the rain.

But I really like it and think these will last a while. Again perfect for college and really comfortable.

These were also from the sales and these were £8 mad right?

Then from Primark I bought this cardigan. I think it's really in with the nautical trend. It's 1/4 legnth sleeves. I really like the buttons, they have a nice detailing on them.

This was £6.

I also bought this ring. I love the turqouise colour and it is a bit on the big side. My little cousins call it the 'egg' ring, haha.

This was £2 I believe or it could be £2.50 :/

I also picked up these bracelets. They are both sold seperately. I love these type of bracelets. There easy to pair with anything.

The purple one was on sale for £1 and the Turqouise-ey one was for £1.50 I believe.

I love this ring, I had seen one on the DollyBowBow site and everytime I went to order it, it would always be out of stock :(

But I finally found it in Superdrugs of all places for about £2 ish (?)

I purchased this from Accessorize. I love it. It's like a safety pin design buckle. You can put it on your bag or on your clothes. Really nice.

This was £2.50 in the sales.

Finally I purchased this bag from Monsoon. I love it. It's nude and it's like a duffle bag type. It's space inside is huge. It has a long strap for people who prefer to wear it across the body and short for people who prefer to carry it on their shoulders.

I love the buckle design and the pinky nude colour really gives it a feminine look.

This was £16 in the sales.

Well thats my haul.

Trendy Tuesday Tip: Get Matte Lips

2011-08-02T23:56:00.004+01:00

Hey dolls!

Today I will be sharing with you, how to perfect the matte lip.

I think this looks really sexy with bold colours. It's super easy and gives the look a much more classier feel to it.

All you will need for this is your favourite bold lip colour and a powder.

Yes that is all.

1) Apply your desired lipstick colour.

2) Using your ring finger apply some pressed powder gently in a patting motion onto your lips on top of the lipstick.

There you have it, Bold, matte lips :D

Hope this helped!

5 ways to tackle the maxi.

2011-07-19T12:59:00.002+01:00

Hey dolls. Hope everyones doing fantastic :)

Today I will be showing you the different ways to wear the maxi dress.

In my opinion I think maxi dresses are the best creations ever. Hahah.

They are so easy to handle and you can practically wear them anyhow.

1. My favourite way to wear the maxi is with a denim jacket. Any denim jacket will do. I think the jacket just gives it a refreshing look. Pull the sleaves up and accersorise with a small classy bracelet.

2. The second way you can wear it is with a pair of gorgeous shoes. Make the shoes the highlight of the look. I've chosen these coral wedges. Coral is really in now. You can lift up your dress a little and make your shoes the highlight.

3. Another way to wear it, is by leaving the maxi plain. But accersorise with jewellery. Big statement necklaces and colour blocking bangles and bracelets. This will deffinately give your dress a more dressed up look.

4. You can always pair your maxi with different colour belts. I like using very bright and big belts. But you can go for whatever colour you like.

5. The last and final way to wear the maxi dress is.... on it's own. It's a simple elegant look. It's also less maintenance. Just pair with a bag.

Those are my tips for you. I hope you guys enjoyed this post. Don't forget to:

My Summer Essentials

2011-07-13T14:01:00.002+01:00

Hey guys!

Hope you guys are doing good.

Today I will be sharing some products I really reccommend for summer. Hope it's helpful :D

My number one most reccommended item for summer is a tinted moisturiser. I just feel wearing a foundation is too heavy, sometimes it feels like it's melting off my skin. I really like the one by Nivea Visage It leaves a very light feel to the skin, with a touch of colour. In my opinion summer is all about loving yourself. Forget about your flaws, don't waste too much time slapping your face with make up because your make up is going to feel like a liability. The heat will make your skin feel like it's coming off. Hahah. So fuss free make up all the way :D

The next product is a waterproof mascara. Any waterproof mascara will do. I like the 17 waterproof mascara because it's cheap and it also does the trick. Waterproof mascara is really good in the summer when your costantly near the sea.

Ok so I know I just said don't slap a whole load on your face for summer. But I understand that some people feel confident with a full face of make up. So for all you beauties. I reccommend the Elf Studio MakeUp Mist and Set This product will keep your make up going for as long as you do.

The next product is just a handy lip product. Like our body our lips can get sun burnt too. This Palmers Coco butter lip balm will protect your lips from getting burnt. It has a wooping SPF15 so you can have your lips protected and moisturised.

I have also added a bronzer to this list because I understand lots of people love that golden look for summer. I reccommend The Rimmel Natural Bronzing Powder This bronzer will give you a healthy natural looking flush of colour. It's also got an SPF8.

The last product on my list is a pack of shine erasers. Summer can be a time where your constantly getting unwanted shine on your face. These little hand ELF shine erasers are so cute. They are also small enough to fit in your bag.

Thats all my summer essentials.

Update: 3.7.11

2011-07-03T02:02:00.001+01:00

Hello wonderful people!

Hope everyones doing amazing :D

What a hell of a past month I've had. The beginning of June was full of exams right towards the end. Thank God I'm done with school..

GCSE's took alot out of me but they are overrrrr.

On the 24th June was the finale of high school. We had our prom. I can honestly say it was the best day of my life. Gathered around by friends of 5 years. Made me so happy. I loved everything about it, the atmosphere was just awesome.

Here is what I wore. It was just a long dusky pink dress. I just got a shrug tailor made. The clutch is a vintage. Ooh shoes. You can't really see the shoes because the dress was so long. haha. Everything was pretty simple. I closed the shurug with a vintage broach and I had a simple silver bracelet on my arms. In my hair was those comb-ey things, and left my hair in loose curls.

And thats my outfit :D

After prom I had 4 days to get myself sorted. Which meant getting some well earned sleep. I love my sleep soo much! But I haven't been getting enough lately.

Then from Wednesday 29th I had to go into my soon to be college to get a feel of everything. It lasted for 3 days. It was ok. I'm happy I'm taking a couple of friends with me :)

My summer has officially started I have nothing planned for the next 2 months. On August 25th is the dreaded results day :s

I can't wait to just drown myself in books and movies *Happy Dance*

What's to come...

Holidays have started which means I have more time for my blog.. yay!

I have a few posts in mind. But it would still mean alot if my wonderful readers would give me some inspiration because I love listening to you guys, and I want to give you lot what you want.

I have been fiddling around with the layout and added some wonderful things on my blog which (hopefully) is appealing to you lot "D

Anyhoo sorry about the long 'un.

Just thought I'd tell you guys what's been happening :D

Spend for the trend : Little White Dress

2011-06-26T02:26:00.003+01:00

Hey dolls.

Hope you are all doing amazing.

As you have probably noticed the LWD is the 'In' trend now.

White dresses in general are really big on the red carpet this year.

I love this trend especially for the summer. Combine your LWD with a sexy tan and your good to go :D

The little white dress is easy to accersorise and pair.

Have fun with it :D

I love how versatile the little white dress is.You can rock at events or even when your hitting the beach.

I'm loving how Pippa Middleton has paired her LWD with a gorgeous denim jacket it carries on the trend of simplicity.

Selena Gomez rocks her gorgeous LWD on the red carpet. Simple and sexy paired with nude heels.

Pixie Lott has also hit the red carpet with a gorgeous embellished LWD. It looks so sassy and hot, again paired with nude heels.

Lastly Kim K is doing her thing. Her LWD has a more edgey effect to it. I love the almost rough effect to the dress, Simple but sophisticated.

Now I have some gorgeous LWD's for you wonderful ladies.

The first one is from Newlook and it is called Te Amo Jersey Cutout Dress I think this will look stunning with a pair of red heels <3

The next one is from Miss Selfridge and it's called The white collar dress. You can just casually pair this with nude heels or even pull it off with some flip flops.

The last one is from Bank and it's called Ribbon Lace Chiffon Dress. I love this dress. The floral touch gives the dress a feminine feel. Again it can be paired with a pair of nude heels or even a gorgeous pair of wedges :D

The first dress is from Dorothy Perkins and it is the White Crochet drawstring dress. I think this dress will be perfectly paired with a cropped denim jacket.

The next dress is from River Island and it is the white Broderie button through dress. This is a more casual everyday LWD. Wear it and rock it whenever it suits you :D

The last dress is from Dorothy Perkins also. It is called the White Stripe Lace Dress. This dress will look stunning, paired with a pair of nude pumps.

That is it.

I hope this post helps you guys.

Dress Like Spencer Hastings.

2011-06-18T11:18:00.002+01:00

Hey dolls.

If you watch 'Pretty Little Liars' then you may know the new series has just come out. So I thought I'd do a inspired post... as you do.

I really love the show, it's very addictive. However it's sad that we're always late in the UK to watch it.

I've decided to do Spencer rather then the other 3 only because they are more popular and I feel lots of people have done them already.

The products that I have chosen are all from a company called http://www.zalando.co.uk/ They are an internet based company, very well known for their wide range and variety of shoes. They sell products of a wide variety of names and brands such as Diesel, Lipsy, Calvin Klein and many more. The good thing about this store is that you can purchase everything from one store because they do everything. They have a sale on right now. So be sure to check it out if you need some new clothes for your summer wardrobe. P.s. they do free shipping *Happy Dance*

Spencer usually goes for the more laid back look. I like this outfit because it's very ordinary but it's still very sophisticated looking.

I loved her cardigan that is the focal point of this outfit. I've chosen a similar looking one by ESPRIT I think it looks really nice especially the detailing. The next item is just an average shirt. I've used an inexpensive one by vero moda. I think the shirt can be very versitile and be worn with anything. The next item is also your average black leggings. It's really simple. Then from what I can make of it she's wearing nude pointy shoes. I think this goes with the theme of nudes again. I've just gone for the classic heels by Tamaris. Finally she's completed the look with a little black signiture item. I've chosen a black Diesel bracelet.

This outfit is perfect for when your just running errands or a day at school.

Have fun with this look :D

The 120 Eyeshadow Pallete

2011-06-17T15:28:00.002+01:00

Hey guys, hope your all doing great.

Today I have a show and tell. I have finally caved in and purchased the 120 eyeshadow pallete.

I know everyone literally has it. But I'm really enjoying experimenting with different colours and shades and types of eyeshadows at the minute so I thought this would be a good purchase.

Also this would stop me from purchasing a ton of single eyeshadows so I would also save alot of money.

My Pallete is from a company called Beautify from Amazon. They have a wide variety of palletes, brushes, traincases, nail equipments etc.

Their products are priced in a really good range aswell.

Here is the link to purchase it 120 pallete

The Pallete itself is actually quite compact. It comes with two inserts.

This is the first insert.

The first insert is much more 'safer' then the second insert. I think all these colours could be wearable

if you wear it in the correct ways.

The second insert is the more colourful and vibrant colours.

Actually both inserts are. The word I'm looking for is....

More earthy tones (haha)

Also I don't know if this is an 'added bonus' or what but the shadows on the side of the second insert have this crackle effect to it. It doesn't effect the colour itself. I think it looks really cool :D

There are some shimmery colours and some matte ones.

These colours are super pigmented too.

Overall I think this pallete is well worth it for the price.

Also you have all the colours of the rainbow in place :)

When I ordered it, it was shipped the next day and came in 2 days. I was so happy

with the delivery rate.

I will be ordering from this company very soon.

Watch this space. Hahah.

Hope you guys enjoyed this review.

Accessorize Make Up

2011-06-10T14:44:00.004+01:00

Hey guys, Hope your all well.

I went into Superdrugs the other day and I noticed they have a area with Accersorize make up. That area is so colourful and it looks absoloutly gorgeous!

Ofcourse I had to purchase one or two things :p

In all the things I saw, the eyeshadows really stood out to me, they are all so sparkly and girly.

Shade: Soft pink.

I chose this eyeshadow because it is sooo cute!

I love the pinkiness and the girliness of it.

The eyeshadow itself is quite pigmented. It is shimmery but it's like a concentrated shimmer..

If you get I mean :D

Name: Sage

This one is the complete opposite of soft pink. It is like a rock metal chic colour.

It's a different unusual colour and thats what attracted me to it. The shimmers are absoloutly

gorgeous.

I'm not one for shimmers but this is just so gorgeous!

Name: Truffle

This is going to be the perfect crease colour, you may chose to wear like a soft pink on the lid

and then this on the crease (?)

I love this colour. It is actually comparable to MUA's pearl.

I love these shadows. They are well pigmented and the colour pay off is wonderful.

The pink and the brown is ofcourse like a safe choice for me. But the sage was just a bonkers decission.

I need to learn how to use it hahah

2011-05-31T15:07:00.001+01:00

Sometimes when you have a nail polish how ever expensive it may be, It will turn lumpy with clumps.

I personally hate it when this happens. But there is a way to rescue your beloved one :p

Get some nail polish remover

Add a tiny amount into your nail polish.

Shut the lid and shakeeeeeeee.

That's all you have to do and your nail polish is back to normal :D

Bronzed Goddess

2011-05-29T22:24:00.000+01:00

Hey dolls. Hope your all well :)
A few days ago I picked up a little beauty from H&M. I haven't really explored their make up. But I decided to purchase this duo. I'm in love with it :D

Shade: Hot Sand

Price: 1.99

I reccommend this duo to everyone. It will be a must for the summer.

When I saw this duo I instantly thought omg, I have to have it. I'm the kind of person who likes to get neutral colours (I'm not too brave). So this duo was right up my street.

For the past couple of days this duo has been the only thing I apply on my eyes. It's perfect for summer and for the price it's amazing!

The shadows are really pigmented. They have moderate shimmer to them.

This is how I've been using it lately. It's not too much and it keeps my eyes looking so awake.

I love this duo. It is one of my MUST haves for summer. Perfect for the daytime and for the night.

I love it. I've also got my eye on the H&M bronzer to complete the look :p

Hope you enjoyed this post and be sure to check this duo out :D

I love Lush. They have the best staffs in their. It's like they have gone high on the aroma LOL! :p

I obviously had to pick up the amazing BubbleGum lip scrub.

It tastes absoloutly ah-mazing <3

This really exfoliates your lips and leaves them feeling so soft. I know people take it

off with a tissue but I just lick it off

ahahah

This is the Ickle Baby Bot. I couldn't help myself, it is soo cute. It also smells amazing!

It's supposed put little ones to sleep. But during the exam season I thought I would use it to give me a good night's sleep :)

This is the last product I bought. It's the Vanilla Fountain.

It smells absoloutly gorgeous. I love vanilla so much and this just tops it all. I cannot wait

to use it for my bath tonight :D

Thats all I bought loveys.

Hope you enjoyed the haul.

Price:

$14.00

because of it's angled brush shape. The shape of the brush allows you to contour as easy as possible hitting

the colour at exactly the places you want.

This brush is so very soft and it feels amazing on the skin. It is so delicate it doesn't even feel like it puts

any pressure on the skin when using it.

I like using it for blush because it gives my blush some dimension and it shows off my cheek bones.

I use blusher to contour rather then bronzer.

Haul: Maybelline

2011-05-06T15:02:00.000+01:00

Hey guys.

I've got a mini Maybelline haul and review for you guys today.

Maybelline is a very affordable brand. Anyone can purchase it, I think the price range is fabulous and the

prices really do not effect the products.

These products are amazing.

Name: Maybelline dream mouse concealer

Shade: 03

I'm really enjoying this concealer alot for my blemishes. This concealer gives me a medium-full coverage. I like it more because the formula is so soft and it feels really thin when you apply it to your skin, but it gives the most amazing coverage.

Name: Maybelline dream matte powder

Shade: 05

I've heard so much about this powder, so I decided to try it out for myself.

It is really the best powder drugstore can offer. It's really comparable to the mac studio fix powder.

The coverage is medium-full coverage. I really like this powder because it controls my oils. It also helps set my make up without making it look cakey.

Name: Maybelline dream mouse blush

Shade: 01

This was just a fun purchase. I've never tried mouse blushers so I didn't know what to expect.

But I absoloutly love this blusher. It's so smooth and it feels amazing on the skin. Like the concealer

the formula is very thin and feels lightweight on your skin.

The colour is absoloutly gorgeous. It's a really nice barbie doll pinky. When you place it on your

cheeks it gives you such a healthy glow.

I love it.

Thats all I bought. I love Maybelline products.

I can't wait to try out more :D

The Royal Wedding 29.04.11

2011-04-29T17:05:00.000+01:00

Hey there :)
I'm sure this event hasn't passed anybody. I actually watched it all and I thought it was amazing. The turnout was gorgeous.

They look so cute together. The balcony scene was so romantic and it really showed their unique love for eachother.

Kate looked absoloutly stunning in her Alexander McQueen designed by Sarah Burton, it made her look more flattering then usual. I thought the dress was very modest and had class.

Stunning. Apparently she did her own make up too :)

She looked absoloutly amazing.

Even Kate herself was shocked to see the massive turnout.

I loved the whole ceromony .

Did you guys watch it?

What did you think about it?

Your invitation to the Royal wedding

2011-04-27T19:38:00.000+01:00

Hello everyone.
As you guys probably know the Royal wedding is only 2 days away. It's rather exciting. I thought I'd share a few royal wedding make up goodies :)

I'm loving the gorgeous Royal wedding collection by nails inc.
The very rich red nail colour is called Will Union Jack Crystal And the nude classy one is called Kate sapphire crystal and they are both now £13.50.

The next pack of nail pollishes are from the Royal Collection. This pack is only £22.50 which is a bargain for 4 Nails inc nail pollishes.

Sleek Make up glory eyedust will look gorgeous and very royal on the lids.

Or go for the union jack flag on the cheeks or on your lids using the Maybelline NY eye studio colour quad

I think the body shop limited addition lip balm is soo cute.

And you are ready to make a royal entrance and bag a prince :p
And finally get gorgeous royal lips using the collection 2000 volume sensation lipstick and top it off using the Revlon colourstay ultimate liquid lipstick.

The best eyeliner I've ever used

2011-04-24T21:40:00.001+01:00

Hello lovely people
I am so excited to be doing this post. Eeek. My best friend would probably know exactly how excited I am
lol :)

I recently purchased Collection 2000's Extreme 24hour felt tip eyeliner. And I am in love with it. Completely.

It's just the best affordable felt tip eyeliner I have ever found. Usually my eyeliner application takes FORever. But when I used this eyeliner for the first time it was so easy and controlable. Usually I find it's hard to control liquid eyeliner and then I can't be bothered to redo my eyeliner because it's not even or it just looks completely wrong. However this eyeliner makes it so easy.

See how the tip looks so good. It feels so soft and unlike the ELF felt tip eyeliner it's tip doesn't drag your skin. This is crucial because it's really important to have a product that doesn't harm your skin. If the tip is hard it can pull the delicate skin around the eye causing premature wrinkles.

The best thing about this eyeliner is the formula. It stays on for so long ofcourse giving it's the 24hour eyeliner.

I really reccommend this eyeliner because it's easy for people like me who find it hard to line the upper lid. It's easy to control because it's like a felt tip pen and it's just like drawering.

My most worn blushers.

2011-04-22T17:28:00.000+01:00

Hey dolls.

I thought I'd show you guys some of my most worn blushers.

I have been playing around with lots of different blushers.

When I was taking pictures for this post I realised most of my blushers are pinks. I only have one shocker.

Enjoyy :D

Brand: NYC

Shade: Central Park Pink

This is the blush that I tend to reach out for more. I like to use this blush for school only because the

shade is so subtle and it's really unnoticable.

This blusher just gives my skin a really natural flush of colour.

Brand: Natural Collection

Shade: Sweet cheeks

This is my second most worn blusher. Again this blush gives me such a nice hint of colour without making me look like I have too much on.

I'm only 16 so I don't want to be going craaazy. Lol.

But this blush is sooo pigmented and it's well worth it for under 2 pounds

Brand: Maybelline

Shade: pure nude.

(Unfortunately this blush is discontinued)

This was my first ever blush. I remember I never used to leave the house without using some.

This blush is such a nice rosy colour. It makes your skin look healthy and also really glowy.

I love this blush but I try to avoid using it as it is discontinued. :(

Brand: Bourjois

Shade: Lilas d'or

I bought this blush recently and I completely fell in love with it. It looks gorgeous on the skin, it's absoloutly

usable for night outs and parties. It's got a nice sheen to it.

But the reason it's my least worn is because it's got too much shimmers for me. But I still reach out for this most often for a night out or parties or occasions etc

Brand: GOSH

Shade: Juicy peach

This is my favourite blusher purchased. It's such a gorgeous vibrant colour. It is something I wouldn't possibly wear on a daily basis but it is something that I will be wearing only because peachy blushers are in this season :)

I also think I can pull it off.

Actually this was my 3rd most worn blusher at one time. But now I've decided to stay with the safe colours.

Hahah.

Here are some of the swatches:

Elf review

2011-04-14T19:01:00.000+01:00

Hi dolls here is my opinions on the lovely elf goodies :)

This is the elf under eye concealer and highlighter.

So far this is my favourite item from ELF.

I love this concealer it makes my undereye circles dissapear.

The concealer also helps brighten the whole eye area. Love it.

Reccommended to everyone :)

This is the blush and bronzer compact

This product seems to be everyones fave but I'm not really a big fan of this.

It has too many shimmers for my liking.

But the bronzer/ contour section is ok the colour is really pigmented in both products.

This is the all over colour stick.

In persimmon.

I like this product. It has a good shimmer to it.

It looks amazing on the eyes.

But it's a bit dry to use as a highlight on the cheeks. But on the eyes it looks good.

I was surprised with the amount of product actually in this,

However I guess you can't complain for something which costs under 2pounds.

I like these oil blotting sheets.

They work amazingly. Removes all your oils perfectly.

These are so handy.

This is the waterproof eyeliner.

It's not really waterproof. I mean if you want to wipe it with water or something it comes off

pretty easily.

Also the tip is quite hard. And the formula dries up quite quickly.

I was so dissapointed with this product only because the first time I used it I loved it so much and then when I wanted to use it next nothing came out.

I hope you've enjoyed this review.

Traveler much?

2011-04-06T18:33:00.001+01:00

Hey Dolls :)

So recently I picked up this brush. I really wanted a brush which I could put in my handbag and use absoloutly anywhere. It's so hard to find a cheap compact brush. I was so glad to find this. If you love travelling and you love make up read on...

This is the Bare Minerals Refillable Buffing Brush.

This brush was only £22.00

Ok ok I know that's not the cheapest for a brush. But to find a refillable travel brush is very hard.

I think this brush is worth every penny.

Look how compact it is.

Again this brush isn't that small but it's refillable and so easy and comfortable to use.

It has a lid on it and so it is sanitary. Even if you don't want to take your whole make up bag

out with you, you can just throw your brush in your hand bag without having

to worry about the brush getting contaminated with germs.

As you can see at the bottom there is a little pot to place your favourite loose powder in.

This means less to carry in your make up bag :)

As all Bare Minerals brushes this brush is very full which means a better and even application.

At the bottom of the brush there are two buttons.

You just turn it to do what you want it to do :)

So the first turn is just the buffer. And the second turn, which is the final turn is the full buffer

with the product coming out.

This brush is not a very small brush. But you can't have it all. This brush isn't too heavy either.

I love just throwing it in my bag.

On a daily basis I would blot my face and then just use this brush with my translucent powder on the

end, to touch up.

Simple and easy.

What do you think?

Do you like this product?

SS11 Beauty Trends

2011-03-19T22:15:00.000Z

Hey dolls.
As you have probably already noticed the runway was so colourful this year.
This spring and summer is going to be one of the brightest yet.
Here are some of my favourite trends, which I thought will be easy to acheieve and recreate.

* Bold Lips.

This trend was unmissable on the catwalks.

I love the fact that the lips are the centre of attention.

When you do this look make sure you don't have a smokey going on or even heavy blush,

Your lips should be the only thing that stands out.

Love this trend <3

I reccommend

Barry M lip paint: 62 Vibrant

Accessorize Lip stick: Coral Crush

*Peach cheeks

Ladies this is a time to bring out the peaches.

Peach blushes are so in. They look gorgeous on every skintone.

Remember not to over do it though.

A subtle stroke with your brush is enough :)

I reccommend:

Elf studio blush: Candid coral

*Pastels

I think this trend would suit the people who aren't brave enough to brace the bold look.

You can add a little touch of colour to your eyes and make your eyes the centre of attention.

Also top it off with a nude pastel lip stick.

I reccommend:

Accessorize eye shadow: Icon Mermaid

*The dewy look.

This trend is perfect to fake your cheekbones.

Love this look. It's so good and versatile.

By highlighting you make your whole face look and feel more healthy.

I reccommend:

NO 7 Skin Illuminator.

* The Naked Look

I love this trend. It's so nice and it really influences peoples to show off their 'flaws' as they call it.

Just showing your skin.

Having that little bit of make up on but not OVERdoing it.

Love it <3

I reccommend:

Nivea Tinted Moisturiser

Dress Like Taylor Swift

2011-03-11T23:36:00.002Z

Hello (:

I love Taylor Swift. And I completely adore her style. That girl could possibly rock anythign.

When I saw this image of her I was so excited to recreate this outfit.

I hope you guys enjoy it x

Lace has been in for quite a while now. I think this trend will never fade.

This gorgeous Lace Dress is from Tesco F&F.

Taylor has brown court shoes on, but these grey ones look equally gorgeous from Tesco F&F again. They have some awsome things at the minute.

The only piece of accersory Taylor has on is this skinny belt. The gold one will go perfectly from Forever21

For make up Taylor has her signature wing eyeliner and her Red Lips.

Gorgeous <3

I hope you enjoyed this look for only under £40.

I can't wait to try this outfit. :)

FYI. None of the companies mentioned have sponsored me for this post.
