Small beauty haul from America! ♥

Hey guys! 

I'm so excited to be bringing you this post! 

As I said in a couple of posts back, I was waiting for Postman Pat to bring me a package in the mail! With me being away for the week I didn't know the package had come and when I got home yesterday afternoon I was over the moon to open it! The first thing I did was drop my suitcase and run upstairs to open and try everything out! I'm so happy with these items and will defiantly be purchasing some more!

To start off I'm going to tell you where I got these from. Due to me living in the UK we can't get brands like 'Wet n Wild' and I really wanted to try some of their products as many you tubers and bloggers from America or who have been to America and picked a few products up have given the brand so many positive comments! I didn't really want yo try any eyeshadow so I picked up 6 lipsticks from the 'Wet n Wild' brand and also picked up a 'Jordana' Mascara. There is a website called BeautyJoint.com who ship internationally and offer some of the American products that not everyone can get. I was going to be placing my order threw the website until I found their eBay shop and decided to go that was instead. There is not really a difference in going through eBay or through site but since I was already adding things into my basket in eBay I thought it would just be easier to do it that way. My order came to around £19 and around $31 which for 6 lipsticks and a mascara is very good in my eyes baring in mind a lipstick in the UK from let's say Rimmel costs close on £5. 5x6=30 then you have to add on and extra £5-£10 for a drugstore mascara from rimmel. Meaning the total equals around the £35/£40. Was that good estimate or? Haha!

All of these lipsticks are semi-matte which means they have a bit of a glossy finish are not very drying on the lips!

Let's get on with the post! 

The first lipstick I pick up was 'Don't Blink Pink. This colour is not for the fainthearted as it is a very bright hot pink. This lipstick would be perfect on its on with a bit of eye liner but for me I would possibly wear this with a dark brown eye with with lipstick being a pop of colour! 

The next lipstick I picked up was 'Coral-ine'. This to me is the perfect coral colour. It's not too orangey and it's not to red which is amazing! It's not a very bright in your face coral colour but it is lovely 

The next colour I picked up was 'Purty Persimmon'. This is a lovely orange colour! Like 'Coral-ine' it's not as in your face as the other orange lipstick that Wet n Wild do. 

The next lipstick I pick up was 'Cherry Picking'. This colour is a bit more difficult to explain in colour, it is pink but has a small under tone of a blue/purple. It is meant to be a dupe for RIRI MAC pleasure bomb but since I do not own that lipstick can't give you a side by side swatch comparison. 

The last lipstick is 'Sugar Plum Fairy'. You guys may be wondering why I have only mentioned 5 lipsticks states 6 up at the beginning, this is because I brought two of these lipsticks. For those of you who don't know this lipstick is meant to be the dupe for MAC Rebel which I LOVE. It's one of my all time favorite lipsticks and I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy the other colours I ordered so just incise I didn't I would have 2. I will be making a separate post with swatches for this lipstick and MAC Rebal to show you how much of a dupe they are! The colour is a dark purple colour with a small hint of blue. 

The last thing I brought was a mascara from Jordana. I got this mascara due to Lauren Curtis from YouTube raving about this mascara and always using it in her tutorials. I have to say this May be my ultimate favourite mascara! It's perfect for my lashes! It is a volumes in mascara but boy does it pack some length aswell! I wanted to show you guys how this changed my lashes so I took a before and after picture of my lashes but before that this is what the product looks like! 

It may not look much on the picture but i assure you it makes them look rather long! What I like about the brush on this mascara is that it gets into the lashes on the inner corner of my eye and is easy to wing the outer lashes out to give them a bit of a winged look! I love this mascara and may be bulking up on them soon! 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post! Again I'm sorry for not posting recently but I shall be back to posting again every week now! Make sure you stay tuned for a little DIY and the MAC Rebel and Sugar Plum Fairy dupe post! 

Take care

Something A Little Different - TAG ♥

Hey guys!
Hope you are all going well!
I feel like i have been doing loads of a tag posts on this blog! From one to another something has grabbed my attention about it and today's post is no different!
Amy has tagged me in a tag that she has made up by herself and i thought well why not just do one more tag and then go back to my reviews and all that wonderful stuff!
So here we go!
What is your favourite film?

My favourite film? I honestly don't have one, i have a bundle of films in which i enjoy watching and can watch them over and over again without getting bored. I love zombie films such as Resident Evil and Zombieland but i also love a good Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks film, lets all be honest here who doesn't right? I don't like to watch horror films in which will give me many sleepless nights from the viewing. I would rather be wiping my tear away from laughter than from sadness and worry. One film i have watch recently and would recommend to you guys is Turbo! It's such a good film, i didn't think it would be very good but i was pleasantly surprised!

What is your favourite television show?

Again just like with the films i have a few! Walking Dead is one of them! I have to thank Amy for making me sit down and watch the first couple of episodes of Season 1 and since then i have been hooked on watching them every week! I'm so happy that it is back on for the second season half of Season 4! I am also watching The Following at the moment with my mom. It's not a series to watch if you don't like things about serial killers and murders. I know it's a bit strange how i can watch a program about someone being murdered in many different ways but can't bring myself to watch a film about someone being possessed. I'm strange i know. I also can't wait for My Mad Fat Diary  to start again for a second season! I didn't sleep all night last Saturday and managed to watch the whole of season 1 in one night, i was proud of myself to say the least! Its such a good program and would defiantly watch it if you can!

What is your favourite song?

I'm getting so bad at this tag. I honestly don't have one! I have loads of song i stick on in my room and jam along to but i don't have a favourite. Pharrell Williams - Happy is an olddie but a goodie! It makes you happy and is fun to dance around too! My Favourite album at the moment is either Midnight memories - One direction or Beyonce's album Beyonce. Two amazing albums by two amazing artists :)

What is your holy grail make-up product? 

I have loads and loads and loads. My makeup collection is growing more and more each week/month depending on how i am feeling and for someone who loves beauty cosmetics this question is difficult. All these questions have been who am i kidding? I would have to say it is a toss up between my collection concealer and benefits they-re real mascara. I love both of these products and honestly will just leave the house wearing these two! I can't pick a favorite lipstick because i always change it up every single day but my most worn one is MAC Rebel which you guys will see in an up-coming blog post (keep your eyes peeled for that one)!

and the last question...

Celebrity make-up inspiration?

I don't really have any... I watch makeup artist all the time on youtube and always want to try and have a go at recreating the look that they are showing but honestly i don't look up to a celebrity and think to copy their make up style i like to make up my own and just have fun playing with the different colours and styles of applying them. The only person i can think of who's make up i do like is Adele's i would put a picture of my favorite in this post but she always look beautiful with every style of make up she has! Even when she is rocking a nude lip (which i can never pull off) she looks amazing and the makeup she has on for the Oscars with the red lip was beautiful! Stunning and talented what more would you ask for? 

And there you go guys, that is the tag done! I hope you guys enjoyed it and i tag anyone reading this to have a go! If you do have a go at this tag link the post below in the comment section and ill be sure to read your response!
Tomorrow is going to be the start of the half term for me which means a week off! I'm so happy and it couldn't have come sooner i need a good break from school haha! I shall be away for the week so i'll post next Saturday for your guys! 

I hope you are all good and everything in your world is fantastic
Take Care.

Winter Wonderland - TAG ♥

Hey guys!

It's Christmas Eve!!! I'm so excited for Christmas and i thought it was appropriate for me to do this 'Winter Wonderland Tag' which i saw from Miss Budget Beauty off YouTube who is an amazing YouTuber who I've watch for years, so check her response to this tag!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas or if you don't celebrate Christmas i hope you have a wonderful holiday with family & friends :)

So lets get on with the tag!

1. Favorite thing about winter?

My favorite thing about winter has to be the cold weather... I know many people hate it but i honestly like it, i find it easier to warm myself up than to cool myself down during the summer... I'm a strange child i know!

2. Scarves or Beanies?

Scarves all the way! I have huge bushy hair anyways so that keeps my head warm and I've never really been a hat person. I don't mind them messing my hair up because almost everyday i rock the 'I just got out of bed hair' anyways haha!

3. Favorite holiday movie?

I have different favorite films for each part of the holiday. Throughout most of December i will watch ELF over and over again. I never get bored of it but on Christmas Eve i have to watch Polar Express in my bed before i sleep, i can't watch it any other time in December... Weird holiday tradition i know...

4. Favorite winter nail polish?

I have too many nail polishes to pick one. During the winter i like vampy/red/purple colours. I honestly just pick a random colour that i like the look of at the time and paint my nails with it haha!

5. Favorite Starbucks Holiday Drink?

White Chocolate Mocha with half a shot of peppermint. Longest coffee order drink ever but its soooooo nice! i have it every Christmas and i just love it! 

6. What are your top 3 winter essentials?

Lush lip scrub in bubblegum
Avon Color trend lip balm in Sugar Cookie

Dry skin moisturizer

If i use these during the holiday season my skin is so soft and my red lipstick apply smoothly

7. Name one item on your wish list this year.

I haven't really got a list, I've just ask for some more lipsticks to add to my collection because a girl can never have too many lipsticks. That's a fact!

8. Favorite holiday song?

Does Michael Bubles Christmas Album count as a song? That whole album is fabulous and really gets me into the Christmas spirit of things but if i had to choose one it would have to be 'Fairytale of New York' even thought it isn't officially a Christmas song and it has hardly anything to do with Christmas its amazing and fun to sing along too!

9. Did you go Black Friday shopping this year?

I didn't really go out and go shopping because here in the UK we don't really have Black Friday but amazon were going their annual sale and i managed to buy a bottle of Nicki Minaj perfume for £15 instead of £38. AMAZING!

10. Must have winter lip product?

RED LIPSTICK is a must for the holiday season and lip balm... you don't want chapped lips!

11. Will you be rocking an ugly Christmas sweater this year?

No, i have never brought or worn a Christmas jumper. Christmas day i usually spend my time in my onsie or new PJ's that my mom and dad have brought me! Better to be comfortable that to be itchy and uncomfortable.

12. Have you ever had a white Christmas where you live?

We have but i don't think we will this year, unless the heavens suddenly open with a flood of snow tonight all we will be getting this year is wind, rain and frost!

13. Favorite winter candle scent?

This year i have been loving 'Merry Marshmallow' by Yankee candle and since its now Christmas eve i can now burn the 'Christmas Eve' Wax tart i brought! EXCITING TIMES!!

14. How will you be celebrating this holiday

I shall be spending it with family, enjoying food and just enjoying the relaxation time i have off from not being at school! Perfect Christmas time to me!

I hope you guys enjoyed that tag!
I just thought it would be some thing a little different!

Anyways like i said i hope you all have a wondering Christmas/Holiday with your loved ones.

Take Care.

Primark Beauty Eyeliner Pen ♥

Hey guys!
I've been meaning to do this review for a while now and every time i have thought of sitting down to type it something else has always grabbed my attention and later on I've forgot but I've remembered and here we go!

Today's post as you can tell by the title is about the Primark Beauty Eyeliner pen in black.

I brought this for £1.50 as you can see from the picture above and at first it was amazing and it lasted all day, glided on perfectly and the tip was just like a felt tip pen which i have used and liked in the past from makeup brands such as MUA. This tip of this product looked like this.

As you can see its just a normal felt tip pen. The lines that this product makes can differ from really thin, thin and thick depending on how you wanted to style your eye make up.

I used this for about 2 to 3 weeks not every day because i hardly put eye makeup on a day to day basis but on about the 3rd or 4th week of me going to use this eyeliner I took the cap off to something horrible and disgusting. GREEN MOLD HAD STARTED TO FORM ON THE TIP OF THE PEN!! I'm not talking just a little bit im taking about 30-50% of the tip covered in this green mold ball. I didn't take a picture of the mold because my first instinct was to throw it half way across my room into my bin and feel disgusted at the fact that I had been putting that product on my eyes and it could have easily given me an infection. 

Honestly I don't think i will buy any more Primark beauty products. This was enough to put me off. Be careful which was makeup you buy, it may not be safe

Hope your all having a good day/night.

Take care.

Tis the season to be jolly!

Hey guys!

Hope you are all okay. 
As i type this i am listening to Michael Buble's Christmas album getting in the spirit of christmas since it is finally DECEMBER!

This year has gone so quick I can't believe we are nearly in 2014!

I haven't posted in a while and i like i always do when i have been away for a block period of time i always let you guys know what i have been up too and what you can look forward too!

Let's get the boring part over so you guys can read what's coming up!

I've been watching too many YouTube videos recently since many of my favorite youtubers have started doing vlogmas since its the run up to christmas which isn't really helping with the fact i have loads of homework building up and blog posts to put up for you guys!

 Also last weekend i put the christmas decorations up which me and my family always do on the first weekend in December, this is the point where i can start getting excited for christmas and begin to get all festive! I do get some christmas present during November but to be honest that seems more of a chore at that time of year more than a fun time. However this is the first year in ages that i have not waited until the last week before christmas to buy presents! Pat on the back to me!

SO... What's coming up? 

I have a mini candle haul coming up soon as well a couple of hauls and a couple of chatty posts! Stay tuned for those and maybe a couple of random posts!
Take Care.
