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!

The Perfect Pamper!

Hi everyone! Today we thought we would share some of our favourite pamper night essentials and tips to help you relax and have some time to yourself.

The first thing I like to do is to pop on some music from my Spotify playlist. If I want to relax I will stick on a spa playlist, these are very easy to find on both YouTube and Spotify but if I want to have a bit of a dance party while I wait on my bath running I will put on some more upbeat and dancing songs.

The next thing I do is plop a bath bomb or crumble a bubble bar while the bath is still running, this is one of my favourite steps as I love to see all of the colours and bubbles come out into the water. I then lay out the products that I want to use in the bath such as body wash, exfoliator and moisturiser for when I come out.

When I am in the bath I like to watch YouTube videos or read a book, right now I am loving the book Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I watch YouTube videos on my Ipad Mini which I obviously have to be really careful with while near water but I sit it on the edge of my bath with a stand up case so that I don't have to hold it up or be worried about it falling in.

When I come out of the bath I like to take off my make-up then pick a facemask and just chillax on my bed until it hardens then I wash it off then further cleanse, tone and moisturise (if you would like a separate blog on my skincare routine then please let me know in the comments).

I moisturise my full body then I put on cosy pyjamas then stick on a movie with a hot chocolate and a snack.

So that's what I do when I have a pamper night, you can also do this with friends, minus going in the bath together (that would be weird).

I hope you enjoyed this blog and share us with your friends!

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!

Magnificent Moisturiser!

Hi guys! Just a short but sweet blog today as we will be posting on Sunday as well as today.

I recently bought a new moisturiser as I ran out of my old one, the one I bought was the Garnier Moisture Matte+. This automatically appealed to me as soon as I seen the word 'matte' on the tube.

This moisturiser is great! I can't even explain how well this works. From someone who has extremely oily skin, I can tell you that this truly does work. It is very smooth to apply and it mattifies your skin instantly, even the cream itself is matte. It doesn't keep oil away all day but it does it's job for the first 4-5 hours which you would expect. This moisturiser is cheap and affordable and you can get different formulas for different skin types. 'Courage' done a blog post a few weeks ago about the one she got for dry skin, that's why I thought I'd give it a try. I am very impressed with this product. I was a bit unsure of it at first but as soon as I applied it I knew it was for me.

It just goes to show that you don't have to spend a fortune on things for them to work and that applies for everything in life.

Both of us love Garnier moisturisers and highly recommend them.

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.

5 Ways to Jazz up your Room🛍

Hi everyone, im so so so sorry that we havent posted in a while but as we are still in school, we have been stressed with tests and we have also moved up a year. So sorry again for that and todays post is a little extra and there will also be a post on sunday too.

Today im going to talk about 5 ways to jazz up your room/living space!

Number 1: Photos

Photographs are such a good way to personalise your room and also to display some nice memories. I prefer to use polaroid style pictures as i like to go for a more tumblr look to my room but you could do any style that you like. You can get £5/€5worth of free photos to spend on lalalab with the code PG2M705F to get you started with this tip!

Number 2: Fairy Lights

Now lets be honest, everyone loves a bit of fairy lights here and there! What i suggest is to get some fairy lights ( you can gets these for as little as £2 in places like primark) and hang them maybe over your bed or round some photographs! Fairy light make your place look so much more cosy and put together! I love them!!

Number 3: Candles

If you are looking to make your room more relaxing and cosy, then this is the tip for you! I honestly dont know how many candles i have around my room but they just set the mood and make you feel so much more calm and it gives a nice little kick to your room! And also, whatever candle brand you go for, they have a scent to match EVERYONES preferences.

Number 4: Blankets

I dont know anyone who doesnt like a good old blanket! You can find good quality fluffy blankets for very cheap prices and you can get one to match any room setting! I like to get blankets to match my bedding and it just pulls your whole room together and makes it a bit more you! Blankets are such a good feature in your room to just snuggle up with and watch a but of tv!

Number 5: Mirrors

Finally, this might sound stange but if you have a small space to work with, mirrors can guarantee the look of a bigger room/space no matter where you out them, and also, you can always take a cheeky little selfie in them now and again!

Thats all the tips i have for today! I hope some of these helped you to finiding tour perfect room set up! Please make sure to comment any new blog ideas and to follow us so youll never miss an upload!

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!

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!

School organisation!

Hi everyone! We are really sorry this is going up later than usual. Today I have 8 tips to help you stay organised for school, as both of us are still at school it made sense for us to share our tips with you. I know this is a pretty boring subject but personally I am always looking for tips to stay organised for school and I would say that I am quite an organised person so hopefully these tips will help you become the most organised person that you can possibly be!

1. Pack the night before

If you pack your bag the night before with all the subject that you need for the next day. Not only are you being organised and prepared but you are also saving yourself time in the morning so that you can have an extra 5 minutes with your head on your pillow.

2. Lay out your clothes the night before

If you lay out your clothes the night before along with your bag you will be saving even more time in the morning because you won't have to deal with the stress of picking your outfit or uniform.

3. Have a shower the night before

This blog post might as well be called 'how to save time in the morning'. Seriously thought, if you want more time in the morning then these are the tips for you! If you have a shower at night and do your hair then you can have another 20/30 minutes in bed and who doesn't want more sleep.

4. Keep a diary for homework

If your teacher gives you any homework the first thing you should do is whip out your diary and jott it down for the date that it is due. Check your diary every night and highlight it when you have completed the task.

5. Keep a notebook in your bag

Always keep a notebook in your bag for school in case your teacher asks you to take notes or remember some facts or figures.

6. Stock up your pencil case

Keep your pencil case stocked and carry extra. You will always get that 1 person in your class who will ask for a pencil or rubber and won't give it back so I always carry extra (or you could ask for it back or say no in the first place).

7. Keep all your supplies in one place

Use this tip simply so that you don't lose your subjects or supplies. Take a shelf or cupboard just for your school things.

8. Take some time out of your day

If you have homework, start doing it as soon as you step in the door before you even glance at your phone, do your homework! This way, once you have done it you have the full night to yourself.

Those are some of my school tips, I hope they helped you. I know that some of them are fairly self-explanatory but they will help you I can garuntee. If you have any posts you would like us to do please leave a comment and we will do them.
