Eye Primer: Rimmel Vs Makeup Revolution

We can all agree eye shadow is a huge craze right now.

Thinking back to a couple of years ago eye shadow was not something you'd wear daily and makeup was definitely not as big as it is now, since the rise of "freelance makeup artists".

I believe anyone who says they aren't good at makeup can simply teach themselves to be better, through watching youtube videos and sampling the best products for themselves.

Am I a bad beauty blogger?

Okay so I love my makeup, I love my brands and I definitely love my brushes.

However, there is one slight thing that could class me as a bad beauty blogger...

Urban Decay Alice Through The Looking Glass Palette

Bet you're sick of seeing these kind of posts right? 

Who are we kidding we love the Alice Through The Looking Glass Palette, just look at it. (heart eye emoji)

Spring Haul so far

Towards the end of the Easter holidays I went on a few mini shopping spree's.

I've been to Newcastle a few times, obviously visited the River Island sale more than once and took a trip to Teeside park and bought only one t-shirt from H&M which you can see here.

I'm trying not to buy clothes as much as I usually do and wear some more things that I already own.

However, being a shopaholic that doesn't always go to plan.

Instead of picking up pretty much everything that catches my eye, I've started to just think right I do need these? What will this go with? Will it go with numerous things? The way you should when you shop.... who am I kidding.

Rose Gold Hair // claim to fame

If you saw my last post you'll have seen that I've recently changed my hair to Rose Gold.

I'm completely obsessing over this colour at the moment as is everyone else so when I scrolled through Insta and found the perfect hair inspo, I just had to book an appointment at the salon.

I haven't been to a hair dressers in years as I use to have a mobile one but I came across LucyJane Hairdressing on Facebook when I saw their amazing fashion colours and just new that was the perfect place to go. 

Every time they posted a new colour I almost drooled, seriously go check them out.

I had a full colour change which cost me £85 and I was a wannabe lucious malfoy for a week. 

I didn't mind being blonde but I don't think I suited as much as I do this. I mean who wouldn't want mermaid hair? 

To make this transformation even better. 

Today I found out that I've actually featured in Cosmo! Yes Cosmo. I can't quite believe it.

Makeup Revolution: Fortune Favours The Brave by British Beauty Blogger

After seeing the most amazing images of this palette I decided I had to have it.

The Fortune Favours The Brave palette is in collaboration with The British Beauty Blogger.

Beauty Blender Update: Primark vs Real Techniques

After my recent Beauty Blender purchase I realised it was time to step up and spend some more money for a new one as quality is everything and quality is what you get for something with a higher price tag. So my recent blender I bought from Ebay for £1.40 and although it done what it said on the packet it wasn't as successful as I wanted it to be. So whilst on a shopping trip with my new uni friends (we have a three hour gap on a Monday and we shop every time) I spotted a Beauty Blender in Primark. There were a couple of different shapes and sizes so I thought I'd try a different shape blender to see if it made any difference. So this is the blender that I bought and It was either £1.50 or £2, I can't quite remember off the top of my head as I purchased it a while back. 

Beauty Blender Review

Word on the street is that the Beauty Blender is the next best applicator. No more brushes. I first heard about the Beauty Blender through my friend when we were getting ready for a night out, I was really intrigued to find out more about the peculiar shaped sponge so I had a google. The Original Beauty Blender was created by Makeup artist Rea Ann Silver, which can be purchased here for $20 in a pink colour, other variations of the product include the Pure, Pro and Micro.Mini Beauty Blender. The Pure blender is a dye-free sponge for people with sensitive skin, the Pro is black in colour for darker-toned products and self tanners and the Micro.Mini is a smaller version of the Original blender for contouring, highlighting and concealing priced at just $18. Its obviously an American product but there has been lots of knockoff's of this product made, some better than others. As I just wanted to test the product I purchased my Beauty Blender from Ebay for just £1.40, here. It arrived pretty quickly and I used it the next day, I ordered purple but as the product was so cheap I just think the colour options where just what you preferred, they weren't for different purposes. 

Lee Stafford Chopstick Styler Review

College hand in is finally over and done with, now I'm ready for summer and hopefully a lot more blogging! My recent purchase has been the Chopstick Styler by Lee Stafford, seriously who hasn't got this yet because it's sold out almost everywhere, in store and online. I purchased, well my lovely boyfriend purchased mine for me from Superdrug online (currently out of stock) and it came to £20.00 with free delivery also. Who doesn't love free delivery. Anyway i've seen so many amazing hairstyles from this little device and my god it makes your hair so afro 80's its amazing. I was slightly doubtful as i've only really seen girls with long hair use it but I thought why not, lets give it a try on my mid-length hair and see what happens. Ouh I also loved the little Schwarzkopf leaflet with some lovely bloggers in with some amazing hair, especially one of my favourites Megan Ellaby.

Whats in my make-up bag

I've recently bought a Primer for my make-up so whilst reviewing it I thought I would share my day to day 'look'. I don't particularly wear that much make-up if i'm honest but always after a long day at college or work my make-up never looks as good as when I left my house on the morning. I've just bought the Rimmel London, Lasting Finish Primer, around £4.00 and it really does do the trick. Yesterday I checked my make-up around lunch and also when I arrived home, around 6pm and it was pretty much perfect as when I applied it. You don't need much primer at all just a small amount to cover the full surface of your face. I apply it before my make-up but you can apply it after.
