Tried and Tested

Mac Shy girl Love the lip colour would suit anyone with a fair complexion to olive and dark hair.
For dry lips try blistex soothing splash! it is amazing.
Rimmel foundation, it feels very nice and it lasts a long time, i personally use a tinny amount of a slighly darker shade in order to look a bit more tanned but it is very nice and soft.
this cleansing lotion is also very good and a good price! it does not smell and it is not oily makes the skin very soft aswell.

Some new Products to try

I have dry and sensitive skin, I dont like to use products that feel thick and oily and smell!
currently im using superdrug's essential range : toner and their cleansing lotion. 


I would say they are both very good, they leave my skin smooth and not dry unlike many other harsh products.


All the essential range products look similar to the picture shown above, and range from 99p to £1.75 =D. 

As a moisturizer i use the mac one: it is a tinted moisturizer, it feel great and gives an even finish, was not too sure about it it but it looks great. =D, but the same job can be achieved with the nivea product that was mentioned earlier in the blog and also a great foundation that is not too strong.

How to add a glow to pale skin

Hi =)

If you are on this page you either are looking for an answer that will help you with the pale skin or even dark circles. I have two suggestions if one of them is causing you trouble.

A: Pale skin

First of all in the winter skin may appear even Paler due to the cold, but with a little bit of blusher and tinted moisturiser it should help out a lot.


For a full product review with photos follow this link : http://www.pursebuzz.com/2010/04/urban-decay-urban-defense-tinted-moisturizer-review/ 

B: wearing a tinted moisturiser will instantly add colour to your face and it will also make dark cirles appear lighter, if the circles are really bad try and use a concealer stick or concealer before applying tinted moisturiser and avoid applying the moisturiser to the eyes. Here are some concealers that are for puffy and dark circles : All About Eyes™ Concealer

Clinique Concealers

here are further products that can be oderd online:

to sum up:
It does help applyin tinted moisturiser instead of heavy foundation as it does look natrual. The look could be adjusted depending on the event, for example a bit of foundation mixed with the tinted moisturiser may change it, the important factor is to remember its all about matching your own skin tone and type.

Make up that I love





Eyebrows

I have a love hate relationship with my eyebrows. I am currently regrowing them as I have over plucked them compared to how I usually have them which is pretty thick, right now they aren't thin but they are definitely not how I would like to them to be. So  this means I get to look like a monster for a month or so :(

My eyebrows are dark and highly arched naturally, but they are sparse in a few areas around the top edges. I fill my eyebrows using Ruby and Millie I- Define brush £6.50, which is great its not too wide and chunky so it allows me to place product exactly where I want it with a nice clean finish. I fill my eyebrows in with Smashbox Brow Tech in 'Brunette' £18.00, personally I find this powder too powdery if that makes sense and too ashy for me.I feel that it shows on my eyebrows too obviously in the light, eventhough I use a light handI hate overdone brows. However the wax holds the powder well and does keep your eyebrows hairs in place for hours.
After gaining the courage to regrow my eyebrows I am  hoping that I wont need to fill in my 
eyebrows after as

My eyebrow once it is filled


Eyebrow envy- I love all of these ladies eyebrows, I guess this is the sort of shape and thickness I am aiming for.


Dandruff

Nivea Body lotion around £3


Just in time for the season... i thought as there are always certain home potions people are asked to throw together  to get rid of this problem, even though i don’t suffer from the problem,  I sometimes find myself having a flaky scalp when I’m stressed out. It not only adds to any extra stress but it makes you feel down n just plain ugly L yes i used the u*word. But actually there is a little method I have come up with, if you use nivea body lotion for dry skin on the scalp it should really help?! I left it in overnight and it just worked for me.. so i thought i share the method.
Apart from everything else, it is a great product all around, great for the skin!


Jermyn Street- Nails Inc.
Gorgeous colour it is the perfect nude for my skin tone(olive/tan), however I think this would suit all skin tones. Its not too brown or muddy therefore it doesn't dull your skin, it has mauve/dusky undertones to it. This colour goes with everything! Its perfectly on trend and can also be worn casually as it is such a natural colour. The consistency of this nail polish is kind of thick, which can make it annoying to apply , its so much easier to apply on short nails. I wear two coats for a even finish however you could get away with one coat.  


 Haymarket-Nails Inc.
 I am a huge fan of pastel coloured nail polishes.I think it is a great way of adding a pop of colour into your outfits. This as you can see is a cool shade of mint however it is not chalky or too blue or green, its just right. I would usually wear pastel colours in summer, however this colour is really versatile and works in winter great if worn with something dark without looking too summery. I think this colour looks best on short/medium length nails, look kind of tacky on long nails.You only need one coat of this and your done!
