My Top 4 Drugstore Lipsticks♥

I don't have a massive lipstick collection, I tend to stick to the same ones. I actually don't own any high-end lipsticks, just Drugstore ones as I always buy my make-up from there. I decided that I would share my top four as I personally really like them all. I couldn't choose my number one, so it's just any order.


My first lipstick is this Avon one, in "Doll Pink". It is such a pink colour, it's so girly. The picture makes it look a different shade, but in reality it is much more pink and bright. I really like this colour, as you can wear it as vibrant or as light as you want. Unfortunately, Avon don't currently have this, they might have discontinued this, I'm not sure but you can definitely find a dupe of it somewhere!


Sticking with the Avon collection, this next one is in "Kissable". I adore this lipstick, it is the perfect red! The lipstick itself is the cutest - there's little hearts around it. I wore this today and it feels really nice on the lips, not drying or anything! Again, I can't seem to find it on Avon (Avon.co.uk or Avon.com) and I don't know if it's discontinued or they only have it at certain times of the year. But if you ever come across it, definitely give it a go!


This lipstick was mentioned in my last post, it is the Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede in 085 "Trendsetter". I have tried this out, and must I say, it's brilliant! It looks really red, but it has more of a berry hint to it, which I really like. The name suits it, Ultimate Suede, as it stays on for hours upon hours. I think I might have just been lucky with the shade, but they have lots more in the collection! This product costs £8.99, which may be a little overpriced, but all in all, a good lipstick!


My final one I have is the No.7 lipstick in "Classic Rose". I love love love this lipstick! It is the most gorgeous colour ever. I certainly do not own anything like it at all! You might be thinking that the colour is strange, which I also thought at first, but it's so pretty on my lips. It costs £9.75, which I got it in a giftset for free (My mum bought No.7 make-up and got a free gift which she gave to me, thanks Mum!) I really do recommend this as it's great, and there's also other colours in the range.

That concludes my Top 4 Drugstore lipsticks. I really think you should give them a go as they're inexpensive. Any questions, leave them below in the comments and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Beauty Haul - My July Purchases♥

One thing I love is shopping! I love reading blog posts or watching YouTube videos of people doing hauls, it just gives me inspiration to go and try the product. This past week, I have been shopping four times! (Maybe you could say I'm a shopaholic?!) And as you could imagine, I bought stuff, so thought I'd put together a haul! Anyway, I'm just going to get right into this post!


The first thing I bought is this Kylie Minogue perfume, "Darling". This perfume is gorgeous, it is completely different to anything else I own. I seriously recommend you to go out and smell this perfume if you haven't already smelt it!


So these are the next three products I bought. I love the Soap and Glory range so much, and when I discovered that they were on 3 for 2, I HAD to buy some! So, I decided to buy three body washes, I got "Foam Call", "Sugar Crush" and "Clean, Girls". All these smell different, but are so good, I was so excited to try them!


Next, I bought the Revlon "Ultimate Suede" lipstick from there Colorstay collection. Mine is in number 85, "Trendsetter". I was super excited when I realised that it was 2 for £10 on Revlon lip products, so I got this and another lip product, which I will talk about below. I was pleasantly surprised at how long this lasted on my lips - a good few hours! I adore the colour too, and you can tone it down if you don't want full on colour!


To put together with my 2 for £10 deal, I purchased this, it's the Revlon "Colorburst Lacquer Balm Stain" in 120 "Vivalicious". It's such a pretty colour! I've wanted one of these for ages, but never actually got round to it! I toned it down the other day as I wasn't wanting a bright look, and it looked brilliant!


I wasn't going to include this, but thought I might as well! It's just the Superdrug wipes. I needed wipes and it was the first one to catch my eye, so I got them. Nothing special or anything though!



I was in need of a face wash, so I thought I'd give this a go. I don't know why there's Arabic writing or something on the front of it, just ignore it! This, however, it the Neutrogena "Oil Free Acne Wash". It smells great, pink grapefruit! I've only used it a few nights so far, but I quite like it.


I had used this face wash before, and decided to repurchase it. It is the Clean & Clear "Morning Energy Shine Control Daily Facial Wash". I love the smell of this, and I prefer face washes with the little microbeads, like this one. I use this in the morning, hence the name of the face wash. So far, it's another good face wash. Also, ignore the Arabic writing again..


Finally, I bought this Pantene "Hair Defense". I have been looking for a heat defense in forever, so my hair is pretty damaged (Yay..). I haven't yet used this, but the scent is lovely, and I'm hopeful for this product as it's a Pantene product!

That is all for my beauty haul. I hope you enjoyed it, and if there's any questions about any of the products, leave a comment and I will get back to you. All products were bought by myself.

Review ~ Rimmel Kate Moss Mascara♥

Firstly, I'd like to apologise for no post last week. I was away and didn't have my laptop to post up, therefore I was unable. Also, the Wifi connection was really bad!
Anyway, today's post is a review on the Rimmel mascara in the Kate Moss collection (Yes, two Rimmel posts in a row!). I bought this mascara about a month or two ago now, when I went shopping with my friend, Emma (She's also a blogger, I'll insert her link below). I must say, I love this mascara, so far it's all great!


So this is the packaging. It's quite a simple tube, but it looks good. The shiny effect looks quite nice. In my opinion, I'd say it's quite professional looking, and looks like a make-up item many make-up artists would have! This mascara is in the shade "Eye Rock Jet Black".


My favourite thing about the mascara is the brush, it's so cool! They call it a "Brokenheart" brush. I actually think in person it looks bigger and thicker, but this is the best I could do. One thing I love about this brush is how it makes my lashes look. There is nothing worse than having clumpy eyelashes! This mascara though spreads out the lashes, making them look really long and black.

For what I payed for it, which I believe was either £4.99 or £5.99, it's pretty impressive. I did expect it to be good though since it's a Rimmel product, and most their products are amazing!

That sums up my review on the Rimmel Kate Moss mascara. I hope you consider buying this mascara as it is not a let-down, in fact it is probably the best mascara I've ever bought so far!

Rimmel London "60 Seconds" Nail Polishes♥

Yesterday, whilst sitting deciding what to write about today, I figured I hadn't done a nail polish post in forever. So here it is, the long overdue nail polish post. I have multiple nail polishes (I think I have like 80..It's an ever-lasting collection!), and struggled to pick out a few to do this post. However, I'm really fond of the Rimmel London's "60 second". I really like the brush - it's really wide! The nail polishes have really cute names too, as well as great colours!



So here's the mini collection! I'll mention the name below when I'm talking about each of them individually. Each colour looks best when they have two coats. When I insert the pictures of them below, my nail has only one coat of nail polish. I must apologise for the dirt under my nail, I think it's mascara and it's a pest to get out.


The first colour is this coral colour, and the shade is 430 "Coralicious". This colour is so Summery! I really like this shade, it's so pretty. The photo makes the bottle looks a bit more orange than it does in person, but it isn't actually. I reckon anyone looking for a coral should get this shade, as it's also really cheap!


I adore this nail polish, in shade 210 "Ethereal. It's really light, but it's so nice. I usually apply a few coats for more colour. It's great, because it goes with everything! I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who's looking for a light colour, yet girly.


This purple is so pretty! This is shade 605 "Purple Reign". It's the perfect purple colour, I love dark shades of purple. It is quite light with one coat, but apply more coats and the colour becomes more vibrant. It has a shimmer through it, which I love.


This final shade is 310 "Red Carpet". It's the perfect red shade, with shimmer through it, again. I'd say in person, it's much more of a dark red, the camera makes it look lighter. This is an amazing red, which I think everyone should have!

That concludes my Rimmel London "60 Second" collection. All these are really inexpensive, which is super. I think you should give these a try as I don't think they'd be a disapointment.



UPDATES: Thank you so much for 2,000 page views, that's amazing!

My Soap And Glory Collection And Favourites♥

Firstly, I'd like to point out to you that I've changed my layout and background (incase you haven't noticed). I decided that I'd like to switch things up a bit as I thought the pink was a bit boring, and wanted a new look.
So, I'm writing about my Soap and Glory collection, and my favourites. I love their collection, I have a few of their products and they're amazing! I could easily spend a fortune on their products if I'm honest - the scent is superb!


In the front row (from left) there's The Righteous Butter, Heel Genius and another Hand Food.

Now for my favourites..


I love this "Clean On Me" body wash! The scent is great, it's so lovely. I did have a mini version, unfortunately I ran out of it but got this for Christmas in a set. Once you use it, it leaves your skin feeling super soft, it's honestly brilliant! I'd definitely say this is my favourite body wash, and a little bit sure goes a long way where this product is concerned!


I have recently been using the "Smoothie Star" body milk. It's just so good! I usually just use it on my arms and legs, but it's suitable for anywhere. It says it's deep moisture, and it really is, it sinks right into the skin, leaving it as smooth as silk. As far as scents go, this is different to the "Clean On Me", yet is still really nice!

Ultimately, my hands down favourite body butter is the "The Righteous Butter". Sadly, I lost the picture of it, I must have accidentally deleted it. I adore using this, mainly because of the strong scent, it matches the "Clean On Me", so I like to use it then this body butter to lock in the scent! As you can see, I haven't used much, I only got this at Christmas, but it will last me for ages! I had the mini one and that lasted me for like 6 months, so this will last a while!

That concludes my Soap and Glory collection, as well as my favourite products. I do hope you'll try these products, or the minis if you aren't 100% sure (Boots sell mini products for only £2.50), or Soap and Glory itself as it's amazing! Anyone who owns any of their products never say a bad word about it, which means they're products are fab!

Primark's Summer Fashion Range 2014♥

A shop I never tend to go into is Primark. I don't usually find many items I like, but recently I've popped in for a look, as I know they tend to have a great Summer collection, and I happened to come across a few great tops I really like! A style I absolutely adore is lace - I own way too many lace tops in fact! I happened to see them, and decided to buy them, as they're just so girly, as well as perfect for Summer!

My first top is this blue one, which in reality is more green, it looks washed out as I didn't have great lighting unfortunately. This top is so light, which means in the Summer months it will be ideal for when it's so warm and I need something light to wear. The material is also so soft, and I already love it!


This top is the exact same as the blue one, except in a black version of it. The picture isn't great as I didn't have it sitting well, oopsss.. People might think "But black clothing isn't a good thing to wear in Summer!" which I do agree with, but this is so light. Since it's lace, it's obviously see-through so I'd wear this with a bandeau, vest top or a crop top of the same colour.


This top is slightly different style to the other two, it isn't a vest top style, it's more of a cropped t-shirt, with a v-neck. I haven't wore this yet as I only just bought it, but I can't wait to wear it as it's such a pretty top! The lace is super soft, the quality is great for Primark!


Can we just? This top is so beautiful! It's the same as the pink one above, but it's still lovely! Yet again, it's a cropped t-shirt, which I shall possibly pair with a pair of denim shorts as it'll look fab! I just think it's such a summery top, and it would look great with a tan!

So these are my Primark tops, and as you can see, they're all pretty cute, and are ideal for these Summer months! Each top was only £4 each, which is such a bargain! I'd definitely go to your nearest Primark to have a look at their range as they do have a great mixture at the moment!

My Top 5 Perfumes - June 2014♥

Something I'm really into is perfume, and I thought it would be a good idea to share some of my favourites with you. I do have a variety, though these are my top 5 out of my collection! These aren't in any order (My top 5 never are in order!) as I love all these perfumes.


My first perfume is the "CKin2U" (Calvin Klein). This has such a beautiful scent - it's fruity and definitely a summer must-have! My Gran had this and I loved it, which then I got for my Christmas and wear it loads. I spray it in the morning and it lasts all day, which is great! It's a perfume in which I think everyone should have smelt, everyone I know who owns this loves it. (Such as my Mum, Gran and I!)


My second perfume is Emporio Armani "Diamonds Rose". I got this perfume recently and already really like this. The scent is so feminine, it's amazing! It's quite similar to the original "Diamonds" but you can slightly smell it's different. It is such a girly scent, and any girly girl is sure to love this!


My third perfume is Diesel's "Loverdose". I adore this perfume! I can't describe how gorgeous this scent is. I got this one Christmas, I was desperate all year to get it! I wear it quite often, I reach for it a lot since it smells so good. As you can see, I'm already half way through it, which proves I'm really fond of it! I strongly recommend this to anyone, if you haven't smelt it before, you seriously must!


My fourth perfume is The Body Shop's "Indian Night Jasmine". I recently got this as a gift and I honestly love the smell of it! It's so unique and smells nothing like anything else I own, which makes me love it so much! I also got a matching bodywash with it and they're honestly amazing - I love using them both, or sometimes together to keep the scent strong! I highly recommend this to everyone! (Not only because the scent is Jasmine!)


My final perfume is the Soap and Glory's perfume, which doesn't actually have a name. I received this as a gift a few months ago, and it's already becoming one of my favourites, I can tell! It just smells like the Soap and Glory products (example - Righteous butter) which I love! I sometimes go all "Soap and Glory", which I use the bodywash and then spray this for a long-lasting scent! I've had a few people complementing this scent so it must be really good.

So these are my Top 5 perfumes that I have been wearing a lot recently. I hope I have inspired you to maybe go out and buy these as I promise you, they're all amazing and I love them all! If you'd like to know more, check them out at Boots, Superdrug or leave a comment below asking me anything!

Hair Products I Use♥

This post has been requested soo much, and I am finally getting round to doing this, I must apologise for the wait, but I will get more hair posts up soon! Anyway, this post is on hair products that I use, I use two of these currently and one I have ran out of and yet to repurchase, but let's just get into this post!

My first product is the Garnier "Fructis Strength and Shine" shampoo and conditioner. I love this shampoo and conditioner - the shampoo lathers up so well, making it really bubbly and washes your hair great! The conditioner is amazing too - it leave your hair really soft. The smell is so nice too, I'd definitely recommend this shampoo and conditioner as it's not a let down! You can purchase this pretty much anywhere, I got mine in Asda, and you can get them in places such as Boots, Superdrug etc.

This product is the Bristows "Ultra Hold" hairspray. I find that this hairspray is awesome! It is not sticky, in which you'd expect from a hairspray but in fact it's the opposite. It doesn't have much of a scent which I guess is good! I'm beginning to run out of it so need to repurchase this, it's only £1 which is so cheap for this hairspray considering it's so good!

My final product is this VO5 "Styling Spray" heat protect. I love this hair product - it smells wonderful! I have actually ran out of this and still need to get this! I used it when blow drying my hair, straightening it or if I curled it. It leaves my hair so shiny and soft, not forgetting that it smells fab! I really need to repurchase this as it's my favourite heat protector.

These are my current hair products, as you see I don't really use many but I do need to buy a hair mask! I hope you have taken these into consideration and may try out these products! I do take in recommendations so if you have any, make sure to leave them below in the comments.

One Brand - Maybelline♥

I have read many blogs about one brand only. This one, I decided to do Maybelline make-up products. I wouldn't say this is my favourite brand, I do have multiple favourite brands but I just chose to do this brand.
My first product is the Maybelline Baby Lips in "Pink Punch". It's a lipbalm but I'm not too keen on it. It isn't too great if you have chapped lips - you can see the pink on the chaps. The pink is a nice colour yet you see the chapped patches. The other colours are maybe better though. These are only £2.99 which is a really good price.

My second product is Maybelline Color Tattoo in 35 "On and on bronze". It's such a nice brown colour! I really like this product, people use it as a base colour and apply over it, but I sometimes just use it as an eyeshadow itself as it looks really good. This is the only colour I own, but I think the other shades would be nice too. The pigment is also really good. You can purchase these for only £4.99 which is a decent price.
My final product is Maybelline Watershine Gloss in 715 "Crystal Dune". It's a sparkly lipgloss, and I quite like the applicator. The colour is alright though - I just think you need to apply it really lightly, not too much or it looks extremely sparkly. It can sorta plump your lips too! I don't tend to reach for this lipgloss though, but it is okay. I'm not too sure of the price as it varies where you purchase it.

Those are all of my Maybelline products. Some of the products are better than others. There is some products I'd really like to try out but other products catch my eye and I purchase them first. Any questions leave them in the comments section.

5 Products I Regret Buying♥

I recently was suggested to do this post, and I thought this was a good idea so decided to do this! It's not that I absolutely hate the brand, I personally just don't like the colour or it isn't the right shade for me. Also, these are not in any order, it's just a random order!

This first product is a W7 blush in shade "Baby Pink". To be honest, the only reason I bought this is because I was in need of a blush, but now I slightly regret it. It's way too pink, it looks quite light in the photos but in person it's so pink, it makes me look like Barbie! I'm quite glad it wasn't an expensive blush, it was only about £3 but it just looks really bad on my skin, I think it's maybe because I'm quite pale.
 
This is 17's eyeliner, and I think the shade is just black. It is an okay eyeliner, there's only one reason I dislike it, which is that it wears off really easily. I wear it on my waterline, and it barely even lasts 10 minutes, it's quite annoying. I bought it as I thought it would be good as it's by 17, but am quite disappointed.

 This product is 2True's concealer in Shade 2. I was recommended this by a friend so decided to give it a go. It's a 3 in 1 liquid concealer. I think this shade is too orange for me, as you can see from the above photo, it's too dark before it's blended in, then once blended in, you don't see much of a difference. I was quite annoyed as it creased really quickly too, and if I applied it to any blemishes, it just made them stand out even more!

This is Rimmel's "Sweet Jelly" lipgloss in shade "170 Sorbet". It is quite a nice colour I guess, but it is awfully sticky on my lips, and my hair gets stuck to it! It also tastes horrid (Not like you tend to taste make-up, but it is a lip product!) It's a bit shimmery too, and I'm not a fan on shimmer lipgloss! Maybe it's just not the lipgloss for me.

My last product is 2True's lipgloss in shade 2. When I first got this lipgloss, I adored it! But over time, I began to dislike it. The colour is quite nice on my lips, but is EXTREMELY sticky, even worse than the Rimmel lipgloss! It wears off really easily too, and doesn't smell too good either. When my hair is blown onto it, it gets covered in the lipgloss, leaving it sticky! Overall, a bad product for me!

These are all the products I regret buying. The brands are good, but these products happen not to be for me! Thanks for reading and leave any comments or questions in the comment section!
