LUSH - Rockstar Soap

Hey everyone, so today i have a review on the Rockstar soap from LUSH!

 I've heard about this so much from different people, but it never really appealed to me as i am more of a shower gel kind of girl, but when i received this in a set from Christmas i finally had a excuse to try it. The scent is really nice and the scent stays on your skin for quite some time after which is always nice, but its not overpowering. Its adds a little moisture not a lot in my opinion, but it doesn't dry my skin, which a lot of products do. 

What do you think of this product?

Wishlist #3

Hey Everybody,

Today I thought i would show you what is on my Wishlist for this month, I really like reading this and look at what people want, as it gives me ideas of things i want. This month its mostly clothes because i have been trying to stop buying makeup, because I feel like i have enough.

I really love coloured jeans and i think they are perfect for spring and summer, as it rarely gets warm here in England. I also love denim shirts fr layering when its not too cold but a little chilly. 

What is on your wishlist?

3.What's your current facial wash?

I am currently using Clean and Clears Truly Gentle Facial Wash.

6.What moisturiser do you use?

I use the Clean and Clear Dual Action moisturiser.

No, ive not suffered with acne, like most teenagers i get the odd spot but nothing serious.

10.Do you or did you have to use Pro-activ?

No, my skin has never been that bad that i thought i need it.

MAKEUP

11. What foundation do you use?

I currently use the Revlon Colourstay foundation and i love it, but i want to try the Maybelline Fit me foundation or the Revlon Nearly Nude foundation.

12.How about concealer?

I use the Collection 2000 Lasting perfection concealer, which i really recommend. But it only come in 3 shades which is a downside to the product.

13.Do you know your undertone colour?

My undertone colour is yellow undertones.

14.What do you think of false eyelashes?

I don't have any strong feelings towards them or against them. I never really wear them myself but i do think they look good on people.

15.Did you know you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?

Yes, which i follow most of the time.

16.What brand of mascara do you use?

I use maybelline, i think they have some great mascara's for the price. I especially like the One by One and the Rocket Mascara.

MAC, since i live in the UK we don't have sephora here and i've never been to one.

No

19.What makeup tools do you use during makeup application?

Brushes mainly, but also cotton buds.

20.Do you use a makeup base/primer for your eyes?

Yes, for a primer i use Too Faced Shadow insurance and for a base i use MAC paint pot in Bare study because it is a really pretty champagne shade and helps my shadows last. I really want to try the Urban Decay primer potion though.

21. For the face?

No, as i don't wear much face makeup and if i do i dont wear it that often, so i dont find it nessicary to buy a primer.

22. What is your favourite eyeshadow? (colour or shade)

This one is hard, i have so many...i really like urban decay's verve(lid), suspect and snakebite(i like suspect and snakebite mixed together in the outer corner and crease) I also really like retrospeck(lid) and honeylust(outer corner and crease) from MAC.

23.Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?

I use them both equally, i like to wear pencil on the upper lash line and pencil on my water line.

24. What do you think of pigment eyeshadow?

I dont tend to reach for them, as i find them messy and harder to use than pressed eyeshadows.

25. Do you use mineral makeup?

I dont own much mineral makeup but ive wanted to try something from bare minerals. I own some mineral eyeshadows from elf though, which i quite like but they are a bit messy.

26. What is your favourite lipstick?

Rimmel's Lasting finish by Kate Moss liptick in the shade 19. Because it islike my natural lip shade but better.

27. What is your favourite blush to use?

I really like a Barry M blusher, im not sure on the shade but i think it is raspberry. I also like Elf's blush in Twinkle Pink.

28. Do you buy your makeup on Ebay?

Nope

29. Do you like drugstore makeup?

Yes sometimes, depending on the brand and product i think some products can be just as good and sometimes better than highend makeup products. I really like the Maybelline mascaras and Revlon's lip products.

No, because i have none near me and i dont even think they have them in the UK.

31. Have you ever considered taking makeup classes?

No, but i would like to when i'm older.

32. Are you clumsy at putting on makeup?

Sometimes, that is why i like to have easy access to cotton buds to smarten up and get rid of any mistakes.

When people use completely wrong shade of makeup and then dont blend it down their necks. Also when people wear way to much bronzer.

34. Do you like colourful shades of makeup (lipstick and eyeshadow or neutral ones?

I prefer neutral eyeshadows, but more colourful lips as i dont suit nude lips at all.

I think it is great because you can be really creative with it, also it makes people more confident which i think is a good thing.

Review: Real Techniques - Expert Face Brush

Hey Everyone,

I know by know, you have all probably seen far to many reviews on the Real Techniques brushed, but these brushes are literally amazing. They are so soft and don't shed, since these make-up brushes are made by Samantha Chapman, who is if you didn't know is a beauty blogger, she obviously knows what brushes work best. 

I have the expert face brush, which i use for foundation (and sometimes powder!) it apply's foundation perfectly and evenly, you can apply your foundation heavily or lightly depending on the coverage you want. The packaging is nothing amazing, it defiantly better than some packaging though. The handles of the brush are quite a good design, as they have a flat bottom so they stand, but when you want to put them in a pot, it is really not helpful.

I really want to try some more brushes from this line, as from the review i've read, they are all just as good. 

Have you tried these brushes? Which ones do you recommend?

My 10 Beauty Tips!

Hey Everyone,

Today i thought i would share with some of my beauty tips!

1. Heat up your eyelash curler before using it, not so it burns you obviously but it helps curl your lashes easier and better and helps them keep their curl.

2. If you are out of makeup remover you can use body lotion to remove makeup, it even works well on mascara. 

3. Wash your make up brushes regularly to remove any of the bacteria that is on the brush as if you use dirty brushes all the bacteria on the brush you will be putting it onto your face, which can cause spots. Also clean brushes apply makeup more evenly.

4. Always wear suncream, even if it is cloudy and raining outside the sun can still damage your skin. Even if you wear foundation or tinted moisturiser with SPF, its better than nothing.

5. Drink lots of water, i know you are probably sick and tired of hearing this tip but honestly it does work it makes your skin so much more healthy. Drinking lots of water can also really help your hair and nails be more healthy.

                      

6. Use a nude or white eyeliner on your water line rather than a black eyeliner as a nude or white eyeliner helps brighten up your eyes and make them appear bigger, whereas a black eyeliner can sometimes make your eyes seem smaller.

7. Pat your concealer instead of rubbing it, this conceals things better and also if you apply concealer under your eyes, if you pat it in it can help prevent wrinkles around the eye area. 

8. Don't pump your mascara what i mean by this is don't move the wand up and down in the tube really quickly as this get more air in the tube, causing the mascara to dry out quicker.

9. When buying a new foundation by yourself, don't test the shade on your hand as the skin on you hand is a different shade to your face. The best place to test foundation is on the jaw line.

10. If you run out of nail polish remover and your nails are all chipped and horrible the best way to remove it is to apply a top coat of clear nail polish and straight after you apply it, wipe it of with a cotton ball.
