Kylie Kollection!

 

Hi guys! I hope you guys are having a lovely day. Today I thought some of you might enjoy a post steering away from our Autumn posts so I thought I would share my recent Kylie Cosmetics purchases. I know a lot of you will be fed up of hearing about Kylie Cosmetics all over social media but for those of you who are make-up junkies, here you go!

Disclaimer Alert: I am not bragging in any way, shape or form. I bought everything with my own money and I am simply sharing my opinions.

First of all I’m going to give you some background information about my order, I bought 3 single liquid lipsticks (Koko K, Candy K and Exposed) as I don’t use lip liners. I ordered directly from the Kylie cosmetics. My order came to £41.67 but I had to pay £12 delivery, I then had to pay a further £15.65 for customs which meant overall I spent £69.32 on 3 liquid lipsticks which personally, I don’t think it was worth it. My order took around 2-3 weeks to arrive. It was delivered in the Kylie box along with a cushion wrap and it came with the card that she had written a message on which was a nice personal touch from herself.

I bought Koko K, Candy K and Exposed. I have a love hate relationship with these liquid lipsticks. First I’m going to tell you about why I love them. One reason why I love them is the fact that they are really pigmented, another thing is that I don’t find them drying to my lips at all. On the other hand sometimes I find them really thick and uncomfortable, also whenever a picture is taken with a flash when you are wearing any of these colours they go much paler and go a weird colour. That is the only thing I can fault about these products but for the price I paid I am not going to stop wearing them as I don’t like wasting money and hopefully I will get used to the uncomfortable feeling and pray that no one takes a picture of me when wearing them (lol).

I will say that these are very opaque and you do not have to use a lot of product for a great matte effect. No words can explain how long lasting these are, I can apply it in the morning, go to school, do PE, have a snack and lunch along with a drink, I then come home and have my dinner and it still looks like I have just applied it. So from 8am to around 8pm that is a superpower.

Now I’m just going to share some photos of the packaging and swatches.

All The Moisture!

Hi everyone! Today I thought I would share my favourite all round body moisturisers from lips to body to hands. I have had and used all of these products for a very long time therefore I have fully tested there abilities and I am going to tell you all about them.

The Body Shop - Pinita Colada Body Sorbet

This is called a body sorbet but I just call it a moisturiser because I assume they basically do the same thing. Not only does this have the most amazing scent of fresh pineapple and coconut but this is an absolute dream to apply to the skin. This product is so smooth and immediately cooling. I took this on holiday with me and now that I'm back, when I smell it I feel like I am on holiday all over again. It soaks into the skin perfectly and makes your skin feel extremely smooth. I am almost finished this bottle and I am definitely going to buy another one. Also, this bottle lasts forever as you don't have to use much of the product to get an affect.

CLICK TO BUY!

The Body Shop - Strawberry Hand Cream

This product is incredible. It smells of amazing strawberries and makes your hands feel silky soft and the scent lasts for hours. Again with this product you only have to use a small amount for an affect so the tube will last quite a long time. The only issue I have with the packaging is the lid, the lid is very small and hard which sometimes makes it difficult when opening and closing but this is a small problem that I can overlook for the great product.

CLICK TO BUY!

Vaseline - Cocoa Butter Lip Therapy

I have used this product for years now. Throughout the 5 years of using this I can safely say that my lips have never been chapped. I smother my lips in this every night and wherever I go this Vaseline comes with me no matter what. Another thing is that this tiny tin of joy lasts FOREVER! As I use a lot of matte lip products they can sometimes be very drying but Vaseline always helps me keep my lips in top condition at all times.

CLICK TO BUY!

Hope you enjoyed this blog! Share us with your friends

My Nyx Picks💄

Hi guys, so today I thought I would do another little review for you all! I'm going to be talking about the Nyx soft matte lip creams. Now I only own 1 of them but i feel 1 is enough to say whether it is good or not!

The Nyx soft matte lip creams are neither a lipstick nor a lip gloss! This matte lip cream is a new kind of lip colour that goes on silky smooth and sets to a matte finish. Soft Matte lip cream is surprisingly durable and unlike some matte lipstick formulas also moisturising! The colour pay of it amazing also!

I would 100% recommend this lip product to anyone who is looking for a good quality matte liquid lipstick but doesn't want to splash the cash and who may have a budget. These lip products are a very good price for the product you get as these are £5.50 or $6.00.

I have mine in the shade "Cannes" which is a very pretty dark, pinky nude.

That's all for today guys! We are also doing a back to school series where we will be telling you what school supplies we got and some tips and tricks for going back to school! We are so excited to do our #PaSchoolPetals series and we hope you guys are too! If you have any school related suggestions or questions leave them in the comments below! Make sure you also follow us so you don't miss an upload and also like this post!

Lips 💄

Hi everyone! So today i thought i would talk about my "Top Drugstore Lip Product" as i know some of you might be looking for a more affordable option when it comes to makeup and beauty! I honestly find that my favourite lip products come from the drugstore so i thought i would share them with you!

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Liquid Lipsticks

These liquid lipsticks are matte and they stay on for at least 5 hours! They are very good for someone who likes the matte look but doesn't want to pay the price for a high end Mac lipstick or YSL lipstick.  On the right i have the colour "Nude-ist" which is a berry toned nude, and on the right i have the colour 'Don't pink of it" which is a pinky toned coral colour.

These lipsticks are £8.99 which in my opinion is a very good price for a drugstore liquid lipstick!!

these lipsticks are Bold, matte and long-lasting colour with 24hr hold. It's lightweight, velvety texture and non-drying formula gives extreme comfort that doesn't smudge!

From sassy reds to vibrant pinks and everyday nudes there is a colour to suit every occasion

EXPERT TIP: Apply using your fingertips for a softer look or use the applicator and build up the coverage for an intense statement pout!

You can get your own here

Marc Jacobs Perfume Collection!

Hi everyone, I am so sorry this blog is quite overdue but school has been hectic recently so I apologise.

Today I thought that I would share my Marc Jacobs perfume collection. Marc Jacobs is a well-know brand mostly for it's fashion and perfume ranges, it is an extremely luxurious brand but if you have some money burning a hole in your pocket, buying a gift for someone or just fancy treating yourself, I highly recommend these products.

MY COLLECTION

DAISY DREAM  

This is my 100% all time favourite perfume. Not only is its smell gorgeous but it reminds me of times when I have worn it, so it is very nostalgic for me. It smells like a mixture of floral and musky, a typical girly scent and perfect for all year round. Also, the packaging is beautiful (it kind of reminds me of a tiny wedding dress wrapped round a bottle) and looks great sitting on your dressing table or on a shelf in your room. This perfume lasts all day and is perfect for parties when you dance a lot because you can guarantee that you will still be smelling fresh at the end of the night. I have almost ran out of this perfume but I will definitely be buying it again.

- Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs

DOT 

This perfume has such a beautiful girly, musky scent perfect for Autumn and Winter as it smells very warming and cosy as it is quite musky. The packaging of this perfume is once again stunning but is very extravagant and takes up a lot of space therefore it is not very travel friendly. I love this perfume and always get compliments when i wear it. It lasts all day even through a full day of school.

- Dot by Marc Jacobs

DAISY

  

Daisy is an extremely floral scent as you can probably tell by the name since it is named after a flower. This would be absolutely perfect for a gift for someone and smells different on everyones skin. Again, this lid is so pretty and elegant. This perfume lasts all day through school even with a period of PE.

- Daisy by Marc Jacobs

DAISY BLUSH

This perfume is actually part of the 'blush' range. As you can probably tell by looking at the picture it is the same packaging as Daisy except the flowers on the lid are two tones of pink. Despite the similarities to the packaging of Daisy, this smells completely different. It is more citrus and sour with a musky undertone. I have only got this perfume from the 'blush' range, I also believe that the range is limited addition but I shall be buying one or two more from the range fairly soon.

- Daisy Blush by Marc Jacobs

Obviously, these perfumes are luxuries and you definitely do not have to spend that amount of money on perfumes to smell great. I will say that these perfumes do last longer than any other perfume I own. As you can imagine it is very hard to describe scents so if you really want to have a good sniff at them then just pop into your closest Debenhams and sniff away.

Lush Goodies🛁

Hi everyone, so today i thought id talk about some bath products from Lush. They kindly gave us a few products to review and ofcourse we said we would love to as they are our favourite bath and body store!

I recieved a bubble bar called "Creamy Candy" ,Which you crumble under running water to create lovely, candy like scented bubbles!
£2.95 / per item

"Creamy Candy"

I also recieved a soap called "Serendipity" Which is quite self explanetary, you can use it in alot of different ways. You can use it to wash your hands, wash your body in the bath or even as a cute display. It smells like French Lavender and Chamomile perfect for a relaxing pamper evening!
£3.50 / per 100g

"Serendipity"

Personally i think Lush is the place to go if you are looking for good quality but affordable bath products as im sure if you have heard of Lush, you would know that their biggest quality is that they dont test on animals! And they are also 100% vegetarian based!

I hope this gave you an insight into Lush products if you have never used/heard of them before or that it gave you a few more products to add to your shopping list!

Spectacular Skincare👼🏼

Hi Everyone!!

So today i thought i would go down the skincare road as i have found two things in particular that really stand out to me as being good, staple stages in my skincare routine. I have very dry skin and i have only really had a problem with it in the last couple of months, and have never (until now) found products that could conquer it.

The first thing i have found is the Liz Earle cleanse and polish hot cloth cleanser http://uk.lizearle.com/cleanse-tone-moisturise/cleanse-and-polish-hot-cloth-cleanser.html?homepage-pb-candp

I know everyone goes on and on about this but it is honestly a miricle worker. It takes off your makeup and polishes your skin to perfection, all you have to do is-

1. Squirt one to two pumps of the product on to your hand and massage it into your skin.
2. Then run a muslin cloth (which comes with the product) under warm water and wipe it off your face

It is a bit pricey at £15.50 but it is honestly worth it!!

The second thing i found is the Garnier Moisturise + Nourish dry to very dry skin daily rich moisturiser http://groceries.asda.com/product/facial-moisturiser/garnier-moisture-match-24h-hydration-rich-moisturiser-cream/910000915796

This makes my skin so soft and it gives it more moisture and it definitely conquers the dryness as i have been using it for a couple of weeks now and i have seen a lot of improvement. You just apply it after your cleanser and you are all set. it is £3.99 so it is very affordable for anyone who is looking for a good moisturiser who is on a budget!

it also comes in an oily skin formula and a combination skin formula so its perfect for everyone!

These products have slid there way into my skincare routine as they work amazingly! I think if you are looking for a new cleanser and moisturiser these will do the trick!!

I hope this helped you to find some new skincare products that you could consider having a look at.

Matte Madness!

Hi guys! Welcome back to our blog. Today I have an exciting post for you, I'm going to be telling you about a couple of my favourite matte lipsticks. Both of them are from MAC but I'm sure you can get great duplicates from the drugstore.

I love a good quality matte lipstick. I have tried a fair few but MAC's have been the ones to stand out to me. I have chosen my two absolute favourite, MEHR and PLEASE ME from MAC.

Mehr is a very pretty berry colour that is very versatile and looks great on every skin tone. It creates a 'your lips but better' effect. The staying power is brilliant, it lasts all day even when eating or drinking. This lipstick is perfect for Autumn and Winter as it is a warm colour. Many matte lipsticks are drying and make your lips chapped but this lipstick certainly does not.

MEHR

Please Me is a bright but natural pink lipstick and would look great on every skin tone. The staying power is incredible (I would say it lasts even better than Mehr). This lipstick is a super Spring/Summer colour and again it's not drying at all.

PLEASE ME

Even although these lipsticks are on the slightly more pricey side (£15.50) these lipsticks are fantastic and definitely worth it if you are an absolute lipstick junkie or just looking for a new lipstick and love a matte finish. I hope this helped you pick the right lipstick for you. If there are any posts you would like us to do please leave a comment.
