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 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!

Positive Mind = Positive Outcome

 Being positive sometimes may feel like the hardest thing to do when you are going through a hard time. 

I have dealt with many ups and downs in my life and after much time of "soul searching" i know that when you think positive, you attract positive things.

The biggest problem with the world is the idea of how things are "suppose" to be. This is what the world has made us believe is right. Love, work, family ... ect. The only thing that makes this world work is love and if you have love you have passion.

Iv worked in quite a few jobs where i felt so down and miserable and thought i would never be able to be happy but i read a book called " The power " ( i will link down below where to buy ), this book is a sequel to " The Secret". Someone told me to read this and it will change my life and at the time i did not really have anything to lose. This book did change my life and i have become richer... not in the sense of money but emotions and happiness. I still have my bad days but if you cut out what is bad in your life and the things that hold no value to you, you will start to realize that things will start to get better.

If you struggle with money and finances, which is probably the biggest factor in stress related illnesses, there are ways to sort out your finances. They may not be ideal solutions but if you take an hour our your day and type into google " finance solutions" you can see that there are many options.

Love, another great stress in life " finding the one " , everyone is on the same hunt to find that special somebody to spend their life with. So many people around i have seen get hurt or betrayed by someone they thought was "the one" truth is .... how will we ever know. We have to live in the moment and know our self worth. If you have doubt in your head or heart, your answer is there. You may feel trapped and that you cant leave. YOU CAN, trust me YOU CAN. Not easily but trust me when i say this... THINGS WILL ALWAYS GET BETTER, You also may feel like you have no one around to support you but you do. Don't think because this one doesn't work out you will never find love... because my mum always said... you have to kiss a few frogs to find your prince. Its not an easy ride going through those tough emotions but they are making you stronger for the next encounter.

Family, some people find it so hard to get on with loved ones and just because they are family by blood does not mean they are family by heart. Fortunately for me i have a great close family but does not mean we don't fight. Do not ever feel like you cannot walk away from someone if they make your life toxic. 

This post was an impulse blog because i know there are so many people going through different problems everyday and i hope this can inspire you to make that big decision.

IF IT DOES'NT MAKE YOU HAPPY....... walk away.
