Mini Haul

Hey!

I thought I'd share this mini little haul with you! It isn't much but they are some things I consider my must haves.

  1. The variety chocolate bar pack - yum yum yum, something I need to have in the house for when you just need some chocolate.
  2. Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Chocolate - one of my favourites to just have in my bag in case I get hungry.
  3. Batiste Dry Shampoo in Cherry - my favourite scent and one of my favourite dry shampoos, cheap and easy to get hold of!
  4. Good Things Fresh Start Creamy Cleanser - the key part to my skincare routine.
  5. Original Source Cranberry and Honey Shower Gel - oh my gees, this is one of my new favourites, I am guessing it is a christmas time special, but I am so in love with it!
  6. Original Source Chocolate and Mint Shower Gel - can you tell I was just in a chocolate mood when I went shopping? Smells yummy though!

Pre-Christmas Clear Out!

Hey everyone!

With the holidays coming, I decided it was most definitely time to clear out my beauty stash! I admit to being a beauty hoarder! However, I know at Christmas time more always comes along, so with that in mind I decided to minimise(ish).

First thing was to get out all my beauty products (except make-up) from there little(ish) home. Abundance of products much?

I decided to throw away certain things (such as all those useless self-tanners and build up tan moisturisers). Put others in a use up before Christmas section. Then with the remainder I put them back in there stash (hopefully more organised).

I decided that if I keep the products I need to use up out and on display it will remind me to use them, instead of half using everything!

I personally found half used body moisturisers my worst product!


Re-organised

April's Make-Up

April's Make-Up

I am one to get into a make-up habit as such, when I experiment if I find something I really like I often do it a lot for the next couple of weeks. The past few weeks I have been loving a smoky sparkly grey look, I personally find I can wear this both in the day and night, though it is more suited to a night-time look. 

For the eyes:
Step 1 - Prime the eye area. I used a sparkly primer (Too Faced Shadow Insurance in Candlelight) to add to the sparkle, but any would do.


Step 2 - The first eye-liner. The first I used is a thick eye-liner pencil (Benefit BAD gal smoldering black eye pencil), I apply a thick line of this getting thicker at the outer corner of my eye and winging very slightly. Then I take a cotton bud and blend this out.  

Step 3 - I then apply a thin line of a felt-tip liquid eye-liner (Bourjois Liner Feutre in Ultra Black) to the upper lash line. 

Step 4 - For my lower lash line I use a smaller eye-liner pencil (Rimmel London Soft Kohl in Jet Black 06) to make a fairly thick line (I do not use this on my water line due to having sensitive eyes).

Here is where I would add fake lashes if I was going out at night. 

Step 5 - Eye shadow time! For this look it is fairly simple, I used too Bourjois products, one of their new Light Round Pot LIGHT in 01 a shimmery golden white and No. 25 a grey silver glitter colour. I place the grey over the black eye-liner on my upper lash line, the darker you make it the more night time suitable it becomes. Then placing the shimmery white all over the lid and in the inner corner. 

Step 6 - Curl your lashes and apply mascara. I like to combine different mascaras. I used Max Factor False Lash Effect in Black, Diorshow BlackOut and Too Faced lashgasm. 

For the rest of my face, I kept it simple.

All the products I used on my whole look:

Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 05.

Too Faced Lashgasm Mascara.

Diorshow BlackOut Mascara.

Max Factor False Lash Effect in Black Mascara.

Sigma Brushes F30 & F60.

E.L.F Blending Eye Brush.

Two Faced Shadow Insurance in Candlelight.

Benefit BAD gal Eye-liner.

Bourjois Liner Feutre Felt-Tip Eye-liner in Ultra Black.

Rimmel London Soft Kohl Eye-liner in Jet Black 06.

Eyelash Curlers.

Bourjois Light Round Pot LIGHT in 01 and Little Round Pot No. 25.

Burts Bees Lip Balm with Acai Berry.

Nars Sheer Glow in Mont Blanc.

Clinique Blended Face Powder in 03.

MEMEME PussyCat cheek and lip tint. 

Sheercover Concealer.

Simple Outfit of the Day

Sweet & Simple

Hello!



My outfit of the day. Incredibly casual, which was fitting for a day of being outside. 

It consisted of a Jack Wills hoodie, dark wash Topshop jeggings and some thick long Jack Wills socks. For shoes, riding boots and wellies were worn due to activities and the incredible amount of rain previously during the week!




So as to make my outfit slightly more interesting I added a braid to  the front my hair and pinned it at the back.

For make-up I wore:
  • Nars Sheer Glow in mont blanc
  • e.l.f eyelid primer
  • Stila smudge stick waterproof eyeliner in moray
  • MAC Naked Lunch eyeshadow
  • Max Factor false lash effect mascara in black
  • Diorshow Blackout (099)
  • Too faced lashgasm mascara
  • Rimmel London lasting finish by Kate lipstick in 05
  • Barry M 273 Raspberry Nail Paint

My Christmas edition GlossyBox arrived - woo! For those of you who don't know about GlossyBox yet, it is a monthly subscription to a box that has five luxury samples inside, for 10 pounds (plus p&p). Here is just what I received this month: 




So the box this month was a festive red, with white wrapping, which is different from their normal dusty pink colour. 


















Inside this months box were two full sized items and three really good sized luxury samples. 


1) BLINK+ Go Hi Definition Mascara - 
Full size £14.99/8g


2) CARGO COSMETICS Classic Lip Gloss

I was super happy to receive the full sized mascara, as I love trying out new mascaras, I was also pleased they put the full sized shower gel in there. The samples are also fabulous as they are large enough for some good use before they run out. Overall I am very pleased with GlossyBox this month!
