1001 Little Beauty Miracles | Don't Hoard Foundatiion

I was having a look through my big tips book and I thought I find a product that I haven't spoken about for a while, so I thought I would find a tip for you.
 
192 - DON'T HOARD FOUNDATION
Throw foundation away if it starts to look or smell different, or if the ingredients start to separate. It may be out of date, which means it will have lost some of its texture and efficiency and will not glide on well.
 
I have to admit I'm not a foundation hoarder because I actually only own one. I am using that only at the weekends as I have to get up so early which makes me have no time to do my make-up. So I use it at the weekends. I do like foundations but as I am so pale I haven't really got a lot of shades that even match me.

NOTD | Pinks

This is my first Essie nail polish. I absolutely love this nail polish and I can glad I picked this up.

This is Essie - Angora Cardi, its very hard to explain what the colour is to be honest because its like complete different colour to what it should look like in the bottle. I need more Essie polishes because I love them!

Review | B. Eyeshadow Elfin

Hello Everyone!
I was having a look at my product directory and I noticed that I hardly review anything on here anymore. So I have used a lot of products and I think its time for me to review them. So I have a list of reviews coming!

This is one of my favourite eyeshadows at the moment. I know that most people love palettes but I get really annoyed with palettes because there is so much choice (stupid but its true). I love single eyeshadows because I can just chuck them in my makeup bag.

This is B. which is a brand in Superdrug, I know that this brand is suitable for Vegans. The colour is in Elfin, I love this shade.

This is just perfect as an all over the lid shade. It is one of my favourite and I love it! Also I want to get loads more of these shadows because I really like them. I have seen a lot of there shadows in store which I have had a swatch and I would love them all! I would defiantly recommend this brand as it is very good and I want to try lots more products from them.

Wishlist #76

Its my favourite time, lets get ready its wishlist time!
 
Products Mentioned:
1. MAC  - Eye shadow - Woodwinked - £10
2. Collection - Nail Polish - Stormy Grey - £3.19
3. Revlon - Nail Art - Moon Candy Duo - Satellite - £7.99
4. Vaseline - Spray & Go Moisturiser - £4.99

Why I want these products?
1. MAC - Eye shadow - Woodwinked - This eye shadow is always being talked about. I love it! Its such a pretty shade, I am tempted to get this as I do love my brown shades as they are just perfect.
 
2. Collection - Nail Polish - Stormy Grey - This nail polish is so pretty, I know people would probably think that this is a boring shade but I love it. I haven't tried a polish like this but I have tried the other nail polishes by collection.
 
3. Revlon - Nail Art - Moon Candy Duo - Satellite - This is pretty cool, I don't think that many polish brands do these. But they seem pretty hard to store because you would have to lay them out flat which would annoy me. The colour is really pretty as well.
 
4. Vaseline - Spray & Go Moisturiser - I think I find a spray better because its much more easier to apply. I think I will go and get one of these because I think they are amazing.

1001 Little Beauty Miracles | Widen With White

This is an eye tip! I think that these tips are going, but I am yet to try anything of these tips yet. I don't know why but I am very lazy with whatever I do.
 
279 - WIDEN WITH WHITE
To give your eyes the appearance of being wider set, line the inside of the bottom rim of your eyes with a soft white eyeliner pencil. This will also give you a fresher, younger look.
 
This is a cool look, BUT I don't think I would be able to pull it off in the slightest. I don't even know how to use eyeliner as I completely fail at it. So this tip probably isn't any good, but you never know I might give it ago if I'm feeling pretty odd.

NOTD | Easter Eggs

Its Easter time, well its just gone. But I like it anyway, so here we go lets have a look!
This is my Easter nails, I have used Models Own - Speckled Eggs in Magpie which is my favourite and I cant get enough of them. I used a white polish with pink and purple dots and lines, I think seeing as this is my first nail art its pretty good. I think this looks like an Easter egg and I am very pleased with how this looks.

My Makeup Collection | Lip Products

I've got another lip product collection for you, I think that I have may used one of these products already, but I really cant remember if I have. But I have only got 5 products. Also sorry for the quality of the picture when I took this it has been raining all day.

MUA Power Pout - Crazy In Love & Broken-hearted - I love these power pouts, I have been planning to do a post on these but sadly my crazy in love one as gone a little bit melted sadly. As I left my bag in the sun and it happened to melt completely, I will get a new one. But they are very good lip colours and I love them.

ELF - Pink Umbrellas - I used this once and I love it, its too cute to not love it. I also love the name, I will do a few swatches of this because I think that its beautiful.

Collection - Vintage Rose - I know you cant really see this but I want to keep it for a lipstick post which I planning to do with all of my lipsticks. So I am not letting much away am I.

Primark - Lip Balm - Feast - I just picked this up in Primark because I love silly little lip balms like this. OMG am I glad I picked this up (btw, it is going to feature in a haul soon!). It is amazing it smells just like chocolate! Yum.

Products Mentioned:
1. Maybelline - Nail Polish - Brick Shimmer - £2.99

Why I want these products?

2. Nicole By OPI - Nail Polish - Haley Good Lookin' - I already own this nail polish, yes that's sneaky isn't it! But oh well, I love this nail polish even though I haven't used it I know its great because it has my name in it ha-ha! I am sure I am not the only one when there name features in something.
 
3. Urban Decay - Naked 2 Palette - This is such a talked about product on blogs. But I sadly haven't used it, I realise that they are so expensive. It is really pretty though and I'm always looking at swatches and just looking at how amazing this palette is. I don't really know if I could justify paying that much money.
 
4. Face Wipes - I'm a big fan of face wipes, I know its bad for you to use them but I'm so lazy when it comes to using moisturiser and removers and stuff. But i do like face wipes and I will keep buying them.

2014 | March Favourites

You're probably thinking WHAT favourites its almost the end of April, well I haven't actually got round to it. I make a promise to you. The next favourites will be ready on 1st May. mark me on that ha-ha!
Miss Sporty - Make Up Your World - Studio Mono Eye shadow - Classy - I love this shade, I bought this a while back and I love it. This is such a cute eye shadow because it reminds me of a tennis ball. Its got some shimmer to perfect for that an all over lid colour. I will also be using this in the crease as I'm starting to get the hang of using the crease brush I own (that makes me sound sooo old).
 
Nivea Soft Pot - This has been my go to moisturiser because once again after my HUGEEE breakout, I haven't really been bothering when it comes to using skin products. I felt that I needed to give my skin a break with the tea-tree cream that I have been using. So when using this I knew it would be perfect for my skin actually. This is perfect as its so light, this may feature in my skincare routine a lot more often now.
 
B. Eye shadow - Elfin - This is from the range at Superdrug called B. I love this, I think that may be a brand where I get some more products from because I really enjoyed it. I loved this and it has been my go to eye shadow as well as the Miss Sporty eye shadow.

1001 Little Beauty Miracles | Vial It In Your Bag

Here is a 1001 little beauty miracles, this is for a fragrance, I have to admit I am very lazy when it comes to fragrances. I really don't know why, but I do like them they are very good products.
 
574 - VIAL IT IN YOUR BAG
Invest in a small via and decant some from the bottle if you want to carry scent around with you in your handbag, or chose a small travel size. If you take the whole bottle with you, and expose it to light or heat, the scent may go off prematurely.
 
I am defiantly going to do this, because I always want to have a little top up of perfume and I always enjoy a different perfume. I am going to sort my handbag out actually and may be do a 'what's in my bag post.' for you and this may have a little feature in it.

NOTD | Orange Heart

I have a NOTD post for you, this is different as it features nail art and I'm not too good at it but I do love doing it though.
 
On my nails I have used AVON - Speed Dry - Swift Sherbet, I love this nail polish its fantastic and AVON have some amazing colours that I would recommend that you go and check out. I have put a heart and a smiley face on my nails too which is the final attempt I thought of doing a nail art design on and this is the magnetic polish. I think this is really good. For my first attempt I think this is really good.

My Make-Up Collection | Lip Products | Part 1

I have got another lip product collection for you, this is a mixture of lipstick and lip balm because I have a way of losing lipsticks and I just added a few lip balms in that I hadn't previously added in. So here we go because I make this a even longer post.


Chanel - Ethereal - This was a buy I am very pleased about. I was looking on Fragrance Direct and I saw these lipsticks were like £3.99 or something. I really like it, its a coral shade and is pretty much out of my comfort range. But I love it and will be reviewing it soon.


W7 - Candy Dream - I haven't used this at all yet, but I love the shade again I bought this from Fragrance Direct. Its quite a shimmery shade and I cant wait to use this.

ELF - Tea Rose - I think this is one of there lip pens, cant remember at the top of head what this is called. But I love this, its a gorgeous colour and I am glad I found this in my makeup bag and I will be using it again.

MUA - Intense Kisses - Lips Are Sealed - Now this is what I call pigmented, I remember my favourite blogger Midnight Violets reviewed them and I had to get it. I actually regret only buying one of them actually.

Miners - Mood Gloss - I won this in a giveaway! I love this, its a gimmicky product but they are something I love them. It is a white gloss which once you put it on your lips it changes to suit your lip colour, this needs reviewing as well.

ELF - Lip Exfoliator - I know this a bit of an odd product, but it gets rid of all that yucky skin on your lips. I cant go on about this enough because my lips are yuck at the moment.

4. Maybelline - Nail Polish - Electric Yellow - I have always wanted to have a yellow nail polish, I know I already have got one. But I want a bright one because I think that would be perfect for some nail art because I am really trying to get into it.

1001 Little Beauty Miracles | Lighten Up With Lemon

I have got a 1001 little beauty miracles for you, this is a really good one I wouldn't have ever thought of something like this to be honest.
 
714 | LIGHTEN UP WITH LEMON
Lighten discoloured nails with a whitening scrub containing mild abrasive or with a mild abrasive or with a remover containing lemon juice to bleach out colour. Ask your local manicurist or chemist for product recommendations.

 
I have quite yellow nail sometimes especially if you wear a really bright nail polish which takes for ever to get off. I mean I love painting my nails so much. I think this is probably quite hard to find in normal shops so looking in a chemist would be much easier especially a big chemist as they seem to have everything stocked up in there.

Review | Miss Sporty Pressed Powder

I know its quite early for me to post especially on a week day but I wont be able to post tonight as I am going to football. So here we go this is a review on the Miss Sporty powder.
This is my current powder, I have had this for a while actually. So long actually that the packaging doesn't even look like this anymore. I know Miss Sporty is a brand that a lot of bloggers would just walk past. But I love it, this powder is very light and it is aimed at teenagers (even though I am not a teenager anymore!). But anyway, I feel this is light and its good to just wear this with no foundation on.
 
 As you can see I will need to get a new one soon. I will defiantly be repurchasing this again and keep it as a back-up powder probably as I already have another powder on the go. I want more bloggers to talk about Miss Sporty because its a good affordable brand. I am sure there are some stuff hit and miss but give it a go!

My Make-Up Collection | Single Eyeshadows | Part 3

Here is another one of my make-up collections, I have to admit I have a lot more single eyeshdaow's than I do palettes. I think I like my single ones better to be honest.

Starting from left to right:
 
Fashionista - Earth Star - I love this shadow, its got such a lovely shade with a hint of glitter in it. I know a lot of people may not like having a lot of glitter in a shadow. But this has the smallest hint in it.
 
Fashionista - Radiant - Well this is completely different to the previous eye shadow. This is full of glitter, I have to admit I love looking at it. But I am slightly disappointed by this because it isn't pigmented enough But if you used this in the crease of something then it would be perfect.
 
ELF - Toast - This is a long lasting lustrous eye shadow. I love this. I haven't used this yet but I cant to get my hands on it. Its really cute and small looking. I don't know why but I love this.
 
ELF - Butter Pecan - This is a duo eye shadow, which I have already planned on using this shadow. This is really nice, I haven't seen many people talk about this one to be honest.
 
L'Oreal - Endless Chocolate - I love this, I got this from the website fragrance direct because they have very good cheap makeup. I will review this real soon.
 
Maybelline - Permanent Taupe - This is a new one, I haven't used this a lot because I'm not sure how to work this in all honesty. I don't know what I could work with this to be honest.

Wishlist #73

Here is another wishlist for you, I feel like I have been doing these for ages. But I love doing them.
 
                                          
Products Mentioned:
1. ELF - Long Lustrous Lasting Eye shadow - Toast - £3.95
2. Revlon - Nail Polish - Impulsive - £4.99
3. Revlon - Nail Art - Silhouette - £7.99
 
Why I want these products?
1. ELF - Long Lustrous Lasting Eye shadow - Toast - I have to admit I am pretty sneaky, I have this already. I only bought this a few weeks ago, I haven't had the chance to use this at all. This is such a different eye shadow than to anything I have in my collection, its so pretty, its like cream but then turns into powder, I really like it.

2. Revlon - Nail Polish - Impulsive - This is a very nice purple. I love the colour, it is so sweet, I love the name as well. I didn't even realise that these Revlon polishes are pretty cheap as well. This is the next on the list I will be getting.

3. Revlon - Nail Art - Silhouette - This is so cool, I only own one something like that. I think that the colour is really cool. I am going to try so hard to get into using my nail art tools because they just look so cool. I really would love doing it like that.

NOTD | Popular Are We?

As you have guessed my the title that this polish is called popular. I love this. This has to be one of my favourite glitters. This may be hard to believe but this is my first ever use of a Revlon nail polish before. It is a clear polish with a hint of pink and has big chunky silver glitters. I think what would make this polish even better is if I had put a coloured base coat on like - BarryM - Lychee. That would have probably bought it out a bit more. But I love this - defiantly getting more!

1001 Little Beauty Miracles | Be Lavish With Lashes

This one is about lashes, I love putting on my mascara, I don't know why but there is something so good about it. I love it, so here we go lets have a look..
 
9O1 - BE LAVISH WITH LASHES
Create lush lashes by using an eyelash curler and applying two thin coats of lengthening mascara. Don't overwhelm your lashes with too many coats, especially if your big moment is in the daytime, because your lashes can look clumpy and there's more chance of fall-out. Waterproof mascara is long-lasting and wont run if you shed a few tears of joy.
 
This is something I should learn because I NEVER curl my eyelashes I usually forget and cant be bothered, but I am so going to try this out because I think this is always something really good to do. As lashes look boring with out being curled I feel.
