Foxy Bargain

Hello Beauties,

I recently came across a video from Sprinkle of glitter on YOUTUBE about a fox bag ( which you can watch HERE!) and absolutely fell in love with them. Now sprinkle of glitter also none as Louise got her bags for around £12 on Ebay , now i don't settle for  first price as i am quite the bargain hunter if you must no so i trawled the internet to find me myself i & you the same bag but only cheaper and i found them for £6.49 inc p&p what a steal so if you like the look of it go and check them out Feeling foxy? get your fox bag here i am pure cheese i no. For the cheap price the product certainly is not cheap looking i am sure its a faux leather but you would never tell the bag is soft and more expensive looking than £6.49 enjoy xoxox

Nice & spacey yayyyyy!





Happy shopping :)

My summer make-up routine & hiding redness

Hello Beauties :)

Well this is a bit of a treat, this is not a post I normally do , and wasnt to sure  about snapping away pictures of me without make-up but i thought FUDGE IT .....who cares? So here is my everyday summer foundation routine which includes hiding redness.
Like it love it hate it whatever just enjoy it .....



Some of the products i used , MAC face & body foundation, Chanel gel bronzer , MUA red lipstick, 



Prime your face this will help all your make-up stay on during the hot weather , iam using Monu skin perfecting primer

I use green concealer to help conceal all my redness i apply i quite thick and blend the edges out using a clean ring finger

For my face im using MAC face & body foundation in N2 & a beauty blending sponge i find it applys better than a brush and this does not disturb my work with the green concealer 

I dont always use bronzer but i have caught such a tan over the past week , i feel my foundation does not match my skin 100% 

I apply a peachie blush just to the applys of my cheeks this is Superdrugs MUA in shade 5

I use a angled brush and my beautiful brow kit to fill in my eyebrows , a good alternative is MUA shade 15 chocolate brown eyeshadow

I am using red lipstick this is MUA shade 13 , i apply it lightly and blend it out with my finger to create a more raspberry than red colour

And here is my final look :)

Homemade Eye-lid primer

Bonjour,
I have used so many different eyelid primers and some are very cost effective ( Urban Decay Primer Potion for example which retails at a whopping £18) Now i don't know if its just me but £18 for a rare occasion of eye shadow is a bit of a splurge, so here's a simple cost effective homemade solution that works just as well and is also good for sensitive skin.

YOU WILL NEED:


  • Body butter of your choice 
  • Foundation ( medium to full coverage)
  • Cotton Bud ( Cutip for my american followers :))
  • A empty pot or shadow to pan to store it 

I am using body shop butter & Rimmels wake me up foundation

I used to squirts of foundation & half a thumb of body butter

Mix the foundation and the butter together until all the butter is covered in foundation and it is a cream consistency 

Transfer it to your chosen pot using a cotton bud or a spatula 

Smooth it down using the cotton bud and clean around the edges 

Pop it in the fridge over night and WELLLLLAAAAA :)

Heres a picture of a swatch i took the top one is the eyeshadow applied with a brush and NO  primer and the lower one is also applied with a brush and the homemade primer underneath good huh ;)



Let me no if you try this and how you get on i would love to no :)

MUA Lipsticks

Heyo Beauties


So i went to Chester Monday for a little pre-hoilday shopping splurge ( went a little bit crazy , and YES i will try and get round to a haul ) and i went to superdrugs as i love MUA and they don't stock it in my local Superdrug, i have allll of the MUA eyeshadows but i have never tryed there lipsticks so i bought a few and wanted to share with you my thoughts and reviews on this product enjoy xoxox








Shade 13, Shade 4, Shade 2, Shade 11, Shade 15 ( Juicy) . If our wondering why the very last one has a name its because it is from there new range of colours and have always just been numbers but now i think there giving them names which is so much better :)




PROS

  • Affordable
  • Long Lasting
  • SOME are very well pigmented 
  • Wide choice of colour's
CONS
  • The packaging is not very pretty 
  • SOME colours are not very pigmented
  • They have a slight waxy feel to them 

Shade 4 & 15 are my favorite summer shades which are a pink & a coral but as you can tell from the swatch these are the least pigmented shades , the other 3 colours are super pigmented and have long lasting colour, the other 2 ( shade 4&15) are still wearable as they wear more like a lip butter but for a £1 there abit of a steal arnt they? 

Let me know if you've tried them and what you think.
