School makeup look


A natural school makeup for everyday wear...

1. First I applied my concealer , all over my face where needed. I didn't want a foundation/bb cream as its only school, and I thought it was a waste. 
Then, I powdered over my face with a fluffy brush just to set my concealer in place for the day.

2. I then put on a natural blush from Sleek, called 'Rose Gold,' with a blush brush. This just gives a little something to my cheeks.

3. For my eyes, I just curled them and added some mascara, not too dramatic for school, but still looks like you have made an effort. 

4. Finally I applied 'Lolli Blam' to my lips by Benefit, this is a tiny so it's very suttle for school. 

Winter Nail Polishes


As it is winter I have started to wear a lt more cooler deeper colours on my nails. These are my picks from Barry M I have been loving. 

Moonlight.
This nail polish is very festive and super gorgeous for Christmas. I can see myself wearing this on Christmas Day or on my accent nail over another nail polish. I haven't worn this colour yet but I'm completely in love with what it looks like in the bullet. 

Nightshade.
I was being brave with the colour choice and picked up this stunning deep indigo colour. In the picture it looks almost black, which is a little out of my comfort zone but I decided to give it a go.

Cursh
This last nail polish is matte, and a deep red wine colour, which is super gorgeous. I have worn this colour and struggled to get it off my nails, as it is matte, but it looked so so nice on my nails. I wore it for a week and by the end it had chipped a little bit over all I was really impressed.

November favourites



Burt's Bees Lipbalm.
This lipbalm is my favourite as it has helped my lips mostirsie throughout November. I love the scent of it, it's a lovely grapefruit smell. Overall this is a great lipbalm and very cheap. 

Benefits boi-ing conceler.
I bought this quite a while ago and now have just gotten into using it very regularly. It's a very good consistentsy and easy to apply with a finger. I usually put this under my eyes, as it is a very creamy conceler of I out it in blemishes, it would slide of in a half a day as my skin is very oily. At £14 it is expensive, but I think it is completey worth it. 

Revlon lipbutter 
Next is a dark lip shade, in 'Berry Smoothie.' As it is winter I like to wear slightly darker shades on my lips, and this is my favourite. It is very mostirsing which is nice for the colder mounths. This lip butter is worth the money as it is long lasting throughout the day. 

Garnier face wash
This face wash has helped my skin fight blemishes really well. I have to apply mostirsier on as it can dry up my skin a little, but I love it for £3.99 at Boots.

Naked basics palette.
I have used one pictucular shade in this palette this mounth, which is a dark black shade called 'crave.' I have been using this shade with an angled brush to create a thin eyeliner on my eyelids. I love it as its very natural and stays on for a long time.

Top beauty products under £10


It's useful to save money on makeup, so here are my under £10 beauty picks!

Stay Matte Powder by Rimmel
This powder has literally saved my life. As my skin is very oliy, my skin looks very shinney all the time, but with this powder, my skin looks soooo much better! I would recommend this powder to anyone who has oliy skin, but not so much dry skin, as you might get dehydrated. £3.99 Superdrug/Boots

Maybelline 24hr Colour Tatto ('On and On Bronze')
This gorgeous shade is a bronze browny colour (hence the name!) I love maybe line Tatto paint pots as they are so easy to apply, and keep on your eyelids all day, and don't crease on your eyes. They do a range of shades, and I believe they have brought out some new colours. These paintpots are just as good as Mac, I wouldn't be able to know any differences between them. £4.99 Boots/Superdrug 

Eos lipbalm - Strawberry Sorbet.
As its winter, I get really sore lips, and I have been using this lipbalm none stop! The smell is soooo lovely. I love the packaging as it is so easy to chuck in your bag, and it's super easy to apply. I really want more of Eos lipbalms and I recommend them to everyone! Available at Topshop/Urban Outfitters/Amazon £5- £8.

Naked 1 Review


This super super gorgeous palette from Urban Decay is one of my favourites. All of the stunning shades are shimmers. I love all the shades in this palette as they all are natural, with gold/pink undertones in. 
A bonus with this palette is that is has a really good sized mirror, which comes in hang for traveling, and a amazing quality double ended brush. Ever since I got this palette (3 weeks ago) I have worn it everyday on my eyelids and been in love with it. Urban Decay is the very best for eyeshadows, and the best pigmentation.
I think I may have to get the Naked 2&3 as I'm so in love with the Naked 1!

Sleek blush

This stunning blush is so nice for everyday wear. The name of this Sleek blush is called 'Rose Gold' and is a great dupe for Nars 'Orgasim'. I would describe the colour as a coral, pinky shade. The quality of this blush if so fab, on the skin is sits perfectly. It's a shimmer blush, with gold sparkles, which gives you a lovely, gorgeous, healthy glow. I love love love the packaging of this blush, and it's a bonus it has a resnable sized mirror.
I think Sleek in general is very good quality for money, and I can't wait to try some more products from them! This blush was £4.49 available at Boots/Superdrug.

Eyes, Lips & Face


These beauty picks are my favourite eye, lips & face products. I have been using all of them a lot recently!

Face
My beauty pick for face is my MUA Conceal and Brightening kit. I bought this especially to see if it covers my dark circles, which it does really well! In the palette you get 2 concealers (1 for under eye circles and 1 for covering blemishes) and you also get a highlighter. I love taking this on holiday with me as it is a 3 in 1. On the skin, the consistentsy is good, and it is so mostirsing. I would recommend getting this palette as it is really cheap but nice quality. £3.50 from Superdrug. 

Eyes
I recently picked up a Kiko eyeshadow, (shade 169) as I have wanted to try there eyeshadows. This colour is a white with sparkles in, which I wouldn't normally go for! I mainly use the eyeshadow for either a base or lightly on top of my eye just to give a little sparkle. It's super piggemented colour, and very bendable
£2.90, Kiko.

Lips
I am a huge fan on the Revlon lip butters and recommend them to everyone! I have many of them, but this shade is in 'Strawberry Shortcake' which is a everyday pastel pink colour. I love wearing this lip butter, as it is so mostirsing on my lips and hydrates them throughout the day. £7.99 Superdrug or Boots.

Lush haul

It is no secret that I love lush, so I got a few bits, I didn't photograph everything as it would of got very messy! 

The Northen Lights Bathbomb
[no picture] this bathbomb reminded me of bonfire night as when it expoldes in the bath it goes all different colours (blues, greens and purples) - like the Northen Lights. The scent smells like autumn, it's quite a musky Christmas scent. This bathbomb is £3.50 from Lush.

Granny takes a dip
I love this bathbomb as its super colourful when it fizzes in the bath. It's a lovely sweet scent, which reminds me of candy floss. I would by it over and over again!! Inside the bath bomb, contains lemon oil which makes your skin so smooth and lovely which in loooove! £3.35 from Lush

Golden Wonder
Every year I go inside Lush to see what Christmas products they have - this time I only got one from the range, which was quite hard to keep myself from all of the other choices of bathbomb goodies!  This bathbomb is shaped like a present and has gold glitter around it! It makes me feel so festive as the smell is orange and lime. This bathbomb also has oils to keep your skin healthy. I love Lush's Christmas range!  £3.75 from Lush.

Top 3 lip products!

No one likes spending a lot of money on a lipstick and never wear it and not like it! So I have a few picks from my lipstick collection that I have loved these past few months. 

Revlon super lustrous lipstick.
I picked this lipstick up a week ago, from all the good reviews it got, I had to get it!  I'm already in love with this lipstick, the pigmentation is amazing, as it is a very pale pink almost nude sparkley colour, (colour shade called; 353 Cappuccino) you would expect it to be very sheer, but it is the opposite. The consistentsy is amazing and it is very moisturising on the lips, but not sticky. This lipstick is available at Boots/Superdrug at £7.49. 

Benefit Balm - Cha Cha balm
This 'lipstick' is actually a lip tint - which means it's not a pigmented as a lipstick but still has a little colour.
Please don't get me started on the stunning packaging of this balm. Benefit does the best packaging! The cha cha balm is a gorgeous orangey coral shade, which is so nice for all year round. My favourite thing about this lip tint is that it is super mostirsing, which is really helpful for the winter when you have chapped lips.
I got this balm from Benefit for £14.50.

M.A.C creamsheen lipstick
My last pick is a Mac lipstick in 'Creme Cup' this is a gorgeous nude shade, which I am loving! Because it's a creamsheen, it is very glossy and moisturising. This lasts on my lips for a very long time, which is why I like it for school. 
This lipstick is £15 from Mac.
