KAT VON D - LOLITA LIQUID LIPSTICK VS NYX LIQUID LIPSTICK

KAT VON D - LOLITA LIQUID LIPSTICK VS 

NYX- LIQUID LIPSTICK PUSH UP

VS 

RIGHT SO THE BATTLE IS ON, TO BE FAIR THEY ARE BOTH JUST AS GREAT AS EACH OTHER. BOTH WITH CONS THOUGH.

FIRSTLY WE WILL START OFF WITH 

KAT VON D - LOLITA

This is purely a personal opinion and like everyone else, we all have different experiences. The colour Lolita is absolutely stunning and is widely wanted by make up addicts all over the world. The formula on this liquid lipstick is of a moosey texture  and is soft on initial application. I did wear this in Las Vegas and maybe it was the heat but i did find it to be severely drying on my lips. When returning to the uk i did wear it again on a night out and lasted pretty well without drying my lips. The best thing about this Liquid Lip, is that you do not need to layer. One application is perfect.

Unfortunately you cannot get KAT VON D make up in the uk...YET! but you can purchase it on the Sephora(click sephora for link to product) website and you will have to pay for shipping.

NYX - PUSH UP 

AGAIN, THIS IS A PERSONAL OPINION AND HONESTLY, THIS IS AN AMAZING PRODUCT. I PERSONALLY PREFER THIS PRODUCT OVERALL AND LUCKILY FOR UK MAKE UP LOVERS, YOU CAN NOW PURCHASE NYX COSMETICS IN BOOTS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THIS PRODUCT RETAILS FOR £6.50, PLEASE CLICK THE FOLLOWING LINK TO SEE ALL SHADES ON BOOTS WEBSITE.

ALL IN ALL BOTH PRODUCTS ARE AMAZING, BUT FOR AFFORDABILITY AND QUALITY NYX REALLY WINS FOR ME AND YOU CAN GET THIS PRODUCT IN THE UK TOO.

PLEASE IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, LEAVE COMMENTS BELOW.

Jaclyn Hill & BECCA Cosmetics face PALETTE

JACLYN HILL

BECCA COSMETICS

FACE PALLETT

SO UNFORTUNATELY I AM A UNITED KINGDOM BLOGGER AND IT GOES WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT WE DO NOT HAVE A SEPHORA TO PURCHASE THIS BEAUTIFUL ITEM, LUCKILY FOR ME I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL AMERICA THIS SUMMER AND MANAGED TO VISIT A FEW SEPHORA SHOPS.

NOW IF YOU LOVE MAKE UP AND YOU RELIGIOUSLY WATCH MAKE UP VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE, THERE IS NO DOUBT YOU HAVE COME ACROSS JACLYN HILL. SHE HAS COLLABORATED WITH BECCA COSMETICS IN THE PAST CREATING HER SIGNATURE HIGHLIGHT "CHAMPAGNE POP". 

WITH THE HUGE SUCCESS THAT CHAMPAGNE POP WAS, SHE INSISTED ON PLEASING HER FANS BRINGING OUT VARIOUS PRODUCTS CONTAINING THE SIGNATURE HIGHLIGHT, HOWEVER THE BEST WAS YET TO COME... AND IT DID AND IM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE IT INITIALLY RELEASED BUT I KNOW IT SOLD OUT WITHIN 24 HOURS. TO MY LUCK WHILST I WAS OVER IN AMERICA THERE WAS A RESTOCK 16TH JUNE, HERE COMES THE MOST WONDERFUL

Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette

THIS PALETTE CONSISTS OF 4 HIGHLIGHTS AND ONE MATTE BLUSH.

THE VALUE OF THE PRODUCT IS $136 BUT IS BEING SOLD FOR $52. UNFORTUNATELY IT IS SOLD OUT ONLINE AND IT IS ONLY AVAILABLE ON SEPHORA AND IN SEPHORA STORES. MOST SEPHORA STORES STILL HAVE A GOOD STOCK LEFT BUT I KNOW ONCE THIS PRODUCT IS SOLD OUT, IT WILL NOT BE RE PRODUCED FOR FUTURE SALE... SO ONCE ITS GONE ITS GONE. PLEASE CLICK ON THE BLUE TITLE LINK AND THIS WILL TAKE YOU DIRECTLY TO THE SEPHORA WEBSITE FOR FURTHER INFO.

MY PERSONAL OPINION ABOUT THIS PRODUCT IS...... IT IS PHENOMENAL. THERE ARE SO MANY VARIATIONS AND COLOURS TO SUIT ALL SKIN TONES AND THE BLUSH AND FORMULA OF EACH HIGHLIGHT IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE, I BELIEVE SWATCHES CAN BE FOUND ON GOOGLE AS MY CAMERA DOES NOT PICK UP THE BEST OF THE HIGHLIGHT.

SO IF YOU LIVE IN THE USA OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN GET THEIR HANDS ON THIS FOR YOU...GET IT!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS PURCHASE,  

URBAN DECAY WEIGHTLESS SKIN FOUNDATION REVIEW

Urban Decay just keep killing it for me, this foundation is absolutely beautiful. I am the shade 2.0 when i have no tan on and when i am tanned i am 3.5. These shades are perfect and i would definitely say there is a perfect range for everyone.

The foundation costs £27 and you can find the link in the title above if you just click on it.

The best thing about this foundation is the fact it is so light weight yet can give you so much coverage. Its beautiful, elegant and soft. I would really recommend this to anyone who is looking for a change in brand.

Urban Decay are smashing the make up industry! 

PRODUCT MUST HAVE

This product is a MUST HAVE

I cannot actually begin to tell you how amazing this product is. I received a deluxe sample size in my Glossy Box (www.glossybox.com).

I use this EVERYDAY before applying my makeup, it has got to be the most hydrating cream/gel. It is not a primer, however i do find my make up does last all the same just with this on my skin.

It can retail roughly about £25 but i have found a link to get this cheaper. Please click the following http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/talika-/talika-photo-hydra-day-50ml/invt/0063902?utm_source=google&utm_medium=merchant&utm_keyword=foo&istCompanyId=17773c4e-a26f-4631-9b91-73e6422dbe77&istItemId=lqmtrqqtq&istBid=tzti&gclid=Cj0KEQiA0-GxBRDWsePx0pPtp4sBEiQACuTLNkK5sV3dMr3XYRCFhtS14M0jzUeNpYh22xw-F5KUM-IaAhK78P8HAQ .

Its an absolute revolution and you would never go back to anything else. A small amount can go along way too :) 

I absolutely LOVE it.

Skin Care Routine

Everyone is different and everyone's skin types are different so knowing what products to use that will suit you best my be a complete nightmare to find.

I find that www.boots.com is fantastic when it comes to finding something you need for your skin. Another great place for skincare i find is www.lush.co.uk They also have some fantastic products.

I know this may sound crazy but if you want your skin to look THE BEST it will need to be cleaned EVERYDAY. It can be tiring and exhausting and you might think... but that dries my skin out. The reason for the dryness is because you are not using the correct moisture to put back into the skin.

My skin type is combo skin. I can get extremely oily when yano... aunt flow visits but then when winter comes my skin starts to feel like sandpaper. So this is what i use to get my skin feeling its best and make up ready.

Firstly I will splash my face with WARM water... this allows your pores to open up.

Secondly i use :

Laura Mercier Facial Polish

Now that is quite a pricey facial scrub but i have found cheaper alternatives such as Soap and Glory's facial Scrub. 

The difference between these two are texture and of course price however both do pretty much the same thing.

Once you have exfoliated your face its time to CLOSE THOSE PORES, what you need to do is rinse off what is on your face then splash your face with COLD water, that will allow your pores to close and help not let in dirt. 

Thirdly - Cleanse, what cleanser you use is entirely up to you but again please click my link for the boots website and you will find what you are looking for there. I use 

                                                                

This is a very affordable option too. Cleansing allows the face to soak up lost moisture from exfoliation. Whilst cleansing you may notice your skin becomes red or sore this is due to unbalancing of your PH levels in this skin so what you will need for this is our last step.

Lastly - TONE, Toning is going to be your most important part, what this does, it allows your skin to restore its PH balance that you lost from the previous steps. Again choice of toner is up to you, however i do use:

                                                      

I hope you have found this post useful as i know a lot of people can be confused as to why skincare is important. Your skin goes through so many changes and its all about restoring what is lost. You can finish these steps by using a deep moisturizer, night creams, eye creams and just simple creams, however that is just up to you but these are the basic steps.

BEAUTY BLENDERS

Hi Guys, 

Right so i know so many people ask about beauty blenders.... how do they work?.... is there cheaper options...do they have to be wet?

Firstly please see below the diagram of how they work:

How to start your beauty blender.

Secondly..... There is only one cheaper option i have found to be good but not AS great as the beauty blender this is real techniques version and it looks something like this:

You can pick the Real Techniques version up pretty much any store like BOOTS, ASDA, SUPER DRUG and you wont be paying more than £6, where as the original beauty blender retails at £16.

Lastly.... Do they have to be wet? Not entirely, however they do work their best damp! ... This is because the sponge expands and allows product to sit on top of the sponge rather absorbing into this sponge and with that effect you get more product usage.

Over all... Beauty Blenders to me are a god send and i could not live without mine. I have both versions and use both of them daily.

You can find the beauty blender at - www.beautyblender.co.uk 

A little bit about me!

Hello.... is it me your looking for 😆

Hi everyone. I am completely new to this blogging business, however what i will be posting about i am not stranger too.

I have been interested in cosmetics and the beauty industry to a high degree for about 6-7 years. I have spent a good fortune on trying our products and see what the industry has to offer us to make us feel special. I absolutely adore new products that have that WOW factor and its even better when i get to share this with people.

I am currently signed up to the beauty subscription box "BirchBox" and each month i receive my box i will do a monthly unboxing blog and review each product individually.

I will also be posting about personal faves and must haves. I will try and be as diverse as possible and make sure the products i rave about are to suit most needs.

Please have fun reading my blog. There are too many mediocre things in this life and my blog wont be one of them. 😄😄
