What My Skin Has Been Loving

Hey my loves :) Today's post is all about the things my face/skin has been loving. As a beauty lover we all love experimenting with different products now and again and we like to see what works for us/against us etc , so we can let our fellow beauty lovers in on our secrets! So abit about my skin type : On my T-zone I'm very dry and flaky & on my cheeks I'm very susceptible to break outs and not just the odd pimple/blemish i mean full on not leaving the house unless I'm wearing a ski mask ha ! These products i have found help me combat the breakouts before they begin ..... So my facial routine is i wipe over my face with these :          My Murad Clarifying Wipes for blemish Prone Skin- I give my face a good little scrub with these. Then i use a cleansing Lotion and the one i use is: The Clean&Clear Deep Cleansing Lotion for Sensitive Skin- With this i use a cotton pad and rub it all over my face sometimes more than one if I've been ou...

Revlon - Velvet Beige

Hey my loves :) So this is going to be a really quick little post about a new lip liner and lipstick i picked up a few days ago , called Velvet Beige 630 by Maybelline i also picked up the matching lip liner. I love this shade i think its a very everyday wearable colour , if i had to describe it i would have to say its like MACS "modesty" just maybe slighty more pink. Now the first is velvet Beige and the second picture is modesty just for comparison.    I swear they are different lipsticks seeing them side by side like this they almost do look the same but velvet beige is definitely more on the pinker side which i never thought i would suit but i think this is a perfect everyday colour for most skin tones. well that was short but sweet hope you enjoyed it  let me know what you think of these colours, if you love them, hate them or even haven't tried them. see you soon xox  

Thoughts on MAC "Lady Danger" & Dupe

Hey my loves!! Missed me ?? Anyway I'm back with a vengeance and I'm ready to kick whatever rut/slump I'm in right in the rear end. Anyhoo as you can tell from the title this is all about my new MAC lipstick "Lady Danger" , now i usually stay clear of these sort of colours as i find some wash me out a little but i absolutely love this shade on me (not to sound to big headed) ha! .... This is a Matt colour but it is not drying on the lips at all sits nicely around 4  hours i got out of it and then needed to reapply and straighten my lip line up as i do find this moves when drinking or eating. You can buy Lady Danger Here On paler skin teamed with winged jet black liner and bold lashes this is a great look. On tanned skin teamed with lashings on mascara this makes a perfect everyday look. I will insert a picture of myself wearing this shade with a tan and you can tell me what you think?!? (Please don't mind the weird pouting ha) ...

My re-introduction to MAC

Hi Ok so hey guys,  as you can see from the title this is my thoughts on my re-introduction to mac and the products!!  So why I swayed from using mac products for over 5 years!  Well at first I loved mac lipsticks, lip liners everything but my first hit was I found out I was pregnant,  with 1 child I could still afford my little luxuries,  but with 2 I knew it wasnt possible especially with both children still being quite small! Second reason was their foundation started breaking me out all of a sudden (maybe hormones) idk??  But also the lipstick formula just seemed to get crap....  So then I started on my hunt for drugstore foundations,eyeshadows & lipsticks that I felt where in the same quality that I was used too. So for years I have used revlon,L'Oréal, and mua and I still do but my main go to is now back to mac!!  They might not have changed their formula or anything but it just works for me know. I love it so my little collect...

Mermaid blue hair & What I did ?!

Hey guys this post is going to be all about my new fantastic mermaid purple-y blue hair & what I did to get there from having very darkest brown roots and mid lengths to reddish brown mid lengths and tips. Ok to start off this was my hair before I started  Although it doesn't look how I've described I promise you it was ... I had been to my hairdressers and she worked her magic !  Ok so my method was to not was my hair or put any products on for at least 2 days ! Any one with Afro English hair like me knows how hard that is to do !  Anyhooo so when your ready I wore an old top that I wasn't afraid of getting manky and an old towel too as they will be a state when your finished.  Then I sectioned my hair into a hot cross bun style so you have your four equal sections , I started to sort of my bleaching stuff and this is what I use. I went to Sally's beauty supply & got the dust free powdered bleach and 6% which is 20 vol peroxide , know my normal bleach is wel...

30 Day Mascara First Impression

30 Day Mascara Ok so i have not been around in a while long story!! But this review is about the 30 day mascara , know this sounds amazing right? well think again unless you have very light eyebrows/eyelashes. Ok so this is how it came packaged You get an instruction leaflet , the usable products & a leaflet telling you about the product ingredients etc. This is all the products you get /need for the 30 day mascara , eyelash/brow brush , some under the eye papers , eyelash colour solution & eyelash colour gel , the only thing extra that you need is abit of normal face cream to put under the eyes to help the papers stick. Now i found this to be utter rubbish for someone like me who has dark eyelashes/brows anyway just bought it as i thought it might deepen the colour boy was i wrong it just made my eyes red and irritated. If you are very fair and have light brown hairs this would be perfect for you or even the mid brown they have but if you have black ...

Mini Primark Homeware Haul

Mini Haul : Primark  Hey There Guys & Gals , today's post as you may see from the title is a mini primark home ware haul.  So lets dive straight into it a couple of months ago i decided i was going to redecorate my whole house for Xmas, safe to say it isn't going to plan *weeps quietly*. So when i realised it all wouldn't be done in time i decided to focus on the key areas people would see. So the places I'm decorating are my toilet, bathroom and my sitting room/living area, anyone who knows me knows i love a bargain so i recently went into my town centre and went into primark not knowing what i would fine but found some pretty decent little gems in the sale. So my bathroom colour scheme is purpley-lilac and white so my first 2 items are scented candles which look like this  These are "Red Berry & Jasmine" Candle , now i loved these !! i thought they looked so cute in their jars and would be a nic...
