I have been trying the Benefit Roller Lash for the last month or so and I have reach my opinion on it. I do like it however I prefer some of my drugstore mascaras that are a lot cheaper than this one. I find that the formula is quite a wet formula that never really dries on my lashes. I love the brush as you can get it really close to your lash line enabling you to coat all your lashes in mascara. Because this brush is quite curved it makes it easier for you to get to all the baby lashes at the edges of your eyes. So overall I really like the brush to this mascara however I'm not the biggest fan of the formula. But in my mind mascara is a very personal thing and personally I prefer a dryer formula than this for everyday use. I will still use this sample size up but probably will lay of purchasing the full size as it is £19.50 and I do prefer another mascaras that are cheaper. But you should definitely give it a go because you might like it.
♥ McBusted Sheffield 2015 ♥
My friend and I went to McBusted Sheffield on Tuesday night and I thought I would show you my favourite photos. As I take over 160 photos so I don't think you would want to scroll through all of them. I'm not going to talk about them all, you can't just a scroll through. Let me know if you went in the comments.
♥ My Top 5 Lip Products for Spring ♥
In a similar way to my top 5 nail polishes post I thought I would share with you my top 5 lipsticks. Please bare in mind this is just my personal favourites so they might not suit everyone.
My first favourite is the Revlon Colourstay Moisture Stain in the shade LA Exclusive. This is actually quite similar in texture to the YSL Tint in oil. I haven't purchased one but I was lucky enough to try one on when I was in Selfridges a few weeks ago. The only difference is the smell but this is a lovely medium glossy pink.
Speaking of YSL my Rouge Volupte in the shade 29 Opera Rose is perfect for Spring and Summer wear. It nice and glossy and totally smooth on the lips, of the course the most important bit is that it smells like watermelon.
After Christmas I'm kind of a little over reds however some days I don't want to wear a full on lip colour and for those days I love something like the Benefit balms and Maybelline Babylips. There nice and moisturising with just a hint of colour which is perfect for those no makeup kind of days.
Now I know what you are thinking Natural Collection is so cheap and horrible. But some of their products are really good, there lipsticks are really creamy. There not as long wearing as I would have hoped but I don't mind especially because these are only £1.99.
Finally. Yes I am still on the jumbo stick kick because I just think they are so easy to apply especially when your in a rush or just in the go. I love this one in the shade Coquette, the laquer balms do have quite a lot of glitter in them so if you don't like that maybe go for a matte balm.
So that's my top 5 lip products I will be wearing for Spring. I hope it gave for some inspiration to go through your collection and pick out some lip products for Spring.
♥ A Smallish Collective Haul ♥
Again recently I have been buying a few things and of course I wanted to show the stuff I have been buying lately so here we go.
So like a crazy women I went to debenhams and queue up for the Cinderella collection at MAC. I was in school while the Cinderella launch online and I got the email through and I immediately went on the website and it was all gone. So I went along to my local MAC and bought the Royal Ball lipstick which is a beautiful pinky nude colour and there will be a review coming soon.
In a recent haul I mentioned I bought a MAC 224 dupe and I had bought a 217 dupe but it hadn't come yet. So here it is this cost me 99p which I think is an absolute bargain. It's obviously not as good quality as the MAC 217 but its not far off. I'd definitely recommend having a look on eBay for MAC brush dupes.
My friend was having a clear out of her makeup and was letting everyone have a look through a big bag of makeup and I chose to have this Collection Glam Crystals in the shade Funk which is just a really pretty glitter liner. I thought I would look really nice in the summer over some black winged eye liner.
I bought a few things from Primark's home section firstly there was this sign that only cost me £2 and it reminded me of Los Angeles and me and my family are actually going to Los Angeles next year. So I thought it would be perfect to hang in my room.
Also from Primark's home section I bought this little star which was only a pound they also had a few other shapes like a star and an apple which I was going to buy to remind me of New York but I saw the star and it reminded me of when I was little and I asked my mum where my Granddad was (who had recently passed away) and she told me to look in the sky and look for the biggest star and that was my Granddad looking down on me.
And finally I bought these really cute postcards form Paperchase they were 60p each and my doctor for my anxiety said maybe ask some of my friends to write some little notes for me when I'm feeling nervous or anxious just to try and cheer my up. I thought these ones were really cute and weren't super expensive.
So that's it for this time I really need to start saving up for Los Angeles but I blame my friends for taking me to Meadowhall.
♥ My Top 5 Nail Polishes for Spring ♥
Today I'm going to share with you my top 5 Nail Polishes for Spring, I tried to include a few different colours then there will be something for everyone.
My first favourite is the Essie Nail Polish in the shade Bikini So Teeny which a favourite of a lot of people on the internet. It's a medium blue shade with a beautiful blue shimmer running through it.
Of there had to be one of the Barry M Gelly Paints this particular one is in the shade Sugar Apple which is a lovely mint green shade. I especially love to use it as a accent nail.
Another one of the Barry M Gelly Paints which I love to use with Sugar Apple is called Dragons Egg, I love to use this over all my nail then put Sugar Apple on my ring finger. Sometimes I like to put some dots on my ring finger with the Dragons Egg shade.
I love this Ciate mini that I got in advent calendar in the shade Kiss Chase its a lovely medium pink that is slightly neon. It's beautiful paired with a light blue polish.
Finally the Models Own Banana Split polish is such a pretty pastel yellow which is perfect for just coming into Spring
So that's my personal top 5 nail polishes for Spring. I would love to hear some of your favourites in the comments below.
♥ What's on my iPhone ♥
Today I thought I would share with you what's on my iPhone because I love seeing these types of things as it inspires me to get some new apps and to organise my phone a bit more. I'm not going to list every single app that is on my phone because I just think that would be a little bit boring. So I will just mention some of my favourites.
Firstly I thought I would show you my phone case because I'm in love with it. It's from eBay and I think it was around 1.50 so a complete bargain for such a pretty case.
My lock screen is a really cute Tyler Oakley quote from his Facebook page. If you can't read it, it says: hi friends! if times are tough right now, just know i'm on your side and you can get through anything. also you look dang cute today.
On my first page is all the apps that you don't really want on your phone but your not allowed to delete. So my most used ones on this page are the App Store, iTunes, Photos and Camera. Along the bottom I have Phone, Safari, Messages and Music.
This page is a few more of the apps your not allowed to delete and then my social media apps and a few apps to watch movies and TV programmes on. So my favourites are definitely Instagram, YouTube, Spotify and Snapchat.
My fianl page is not as full as the rest but its mostly got my games, shopping apps,photo editing apps and few randoms. My favourite game is definitely Geometry Dash. Rookie is the app that I will edit my Instagram photos on if a fancy a nice posh edited photo. One of my favourite apps is quite a nice new one but its WorkPack and it makes a collage out of the words you enter and its just really cute.
Hope you enjoyed seeing what was on my iPhone and I hope it inspires you to maybe purchase some new apps your just reorganise your phone.
♥ Lush Easter Collection ♥
Today I am going to the share the Lush Easter collection with you.
1. Immaculate Eggception Yellow has a very uplifting circus with its addition of grapefruit oil and lemon oil. It is on the slightly pricey side at £6.95 however you can split this one in half and then it has either a chick or a rabbit in the middle that you can use as a third bath.
2. Fluffy Egg is the exact same scent as Snow Fairy at Christmas, it makes the bath water an amazing deep pink colour that lasts quite a while after you first put it into the bath tub. This costs £2.95, you can cut it up to get more baths out of it but I wouldn't advise it.
3. Immaculate Eggception Pink is the exact same as the Yellow one however it has a slightly different smell. You can still use this three times and it is £6.95. So it may seem pricey but it is quite a good value for money when you break it all down it ends up being around £2.30 per bath.
4. Another bath bomb is the Hoppity Poppity it is a very soothing bath bomb with the additions of lime and lavender oils. This bath bomb has popping candy running through it which I personally think is really fun but it's not everyones cup of tea. This retails for £2.50.
5. For Easter Lush created another one of their shower jellies which is called Pot O' Gold. They added lots of shimmer running through it and as Lush says its to add some shine to your shower. It has quite a caramel smell even though the website says it has lots of fresh juices like pineapple and orange. It costs £3.50 for 100g or £6.95 for 240g.
6. The last bath bomb is my personal favourite as its covered in glitter, it smells amazing like fudge and its not like a normal bath bomb it starts melting away like a normal bath bomb and then awards it slowly melts away kind of like a bath melt. It costs £3.75.
7. One of the soaps it called the carrot soap, it doesn't smell exactly like a carrot but its on those lines. If you see it in store its shaped in a massive carrot. It costs £3.95 for 100g, £9.87 for 250g and £19.75 for 500g.
8. The only bubble bar Lush came out for the Easter collection is the reusable bubble bar called a bunch of carrots it costs £5.95 it is a reusable bubble bar so you will be able to use it over and over before it even starts disappearing. I do prefer the normal bubble bars as I feel like they create more bubbles than the reusable.
9. The over soap is the Over the rainbow soap if you go into a store you at least need to look at this one as the full soap block is beautiful. It has a wonderful rose and orange scented soap and to be honest I'd buy it even if it didn't smell nice because it looks so lovely. It is £4.25 for 100g, £10.62 for 250g and £21.35 for 500g.
There are a few gifts in the line which are really cute but these are all of the single items up for grabs. Hope this encouraged you to hop along to Lush and pick up some of the Easter line.
♥ Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Perfume ♥
I thought I might review one of my favourite perfumes which is the Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream perfume. I'm not good at describing notes of a perfume so I pulled it up on the Sephora and they say the main notes are:
Notes: Blackberry, Grapefruit, Pear, Jasmine, Lychee, Blue Wisteria, White Woods, Musks, Coconut Water.
They also describe the style in three words which I think is really cute:
Style: Ethereal. Free-spirited. Luminous.
The staying power is very good I can still smell it throughout the day after spraying it first thing in the morning. I do like to top it up through the day just to freshen the scent, when I talked to my mum she said she couldn't smell it on me after a few hours so I do think you do need to reapply every so often. But I do love the scent its just lovely and fruity. I think the bottle is very elegant and so is the box, which is why I like to keep it and display it with the bottle on my shelf. Overall I think its worth the money and if you want it I'd definitely take the plunge and get it.
♥ Beauty Scenario Tag ♥
I'm going to do something different today in the form of a tag post let me know what you think and if I should do some more tag's.
1. You have to get rid of all your foundations and you can only keep one high end and one drugstore, which do you keep? I haven't used any of high end foundations yet but it is something I want to try in the future so let me know your recommendations. But my current favourite drugstore foundation is the Collection Lasting Perfection Foundation.
2. You go for an interview and the lady interviewing you has lipstick on her teeth. Do you approach the subject or ignore it completely? I probably wouldn't approach it as it might be a bit awkward, however if I knew the interviewer I would tell her but I probably wouldn't bring it up.
3. You're not feeling yourself and need a pick me up. Which lipstick do you put on to make yourself feel beautiful? I would wear the YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick in the shade 29 as its just so luxurious and it smells like watermelons.
4. You go back in time for a day to your teenage years, how would you do your hair and makeup differently? I'm currently in my teenage years so I will probably answering this question in the future and being like why the hell did I use that.
5. You ask your hairdresser for a shoulder length Pixie Lott hair cut, but they hear wrong and give you a pixi cut. Do you a) Smile, say thank you, leave and call your mum hysterical b) Cry in the chair and things get awkward or c) Complain to the manager and demand a refund. I'd probably do a because I'm not a person to complain like that because I feel like I wouldn't have enough confidence to say anything also I'm kind of thinking wouldn't you notice something someone cutting your hair up to there ?
6. Your friend surprises you with a 4 day city break and you have 1 hour to pack. Which 'do it all' palette do you pack in your makeup bag? I would take the makeup revolution iconic one palette as there is a nice mixture of matte shades and shimmer shades and probably very colour you would need for a nice neutral eye.
7. Your house has been robbed, don't worry everyone is safe, but your beauty stash has been raided. What's the product you really hope is safe? Definitely my YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick because girl that is an expensive lipstick.
8. Your friend borrows your makeup and returns it in awful condition. Do you a) Just pretend you haven't noticed b) Ask them to repurchase it or c) Secretly do the same to something of theirs. It depends what friend it was. First of all I wouldn't really lend by makeup out because I take pride in my makeup collection. I would probably just ask them to repurchase it or if they had acknowledged what they had done then I would have probably just forgiven them.
Thanks for reading. Let me know if you want to see more tag posts and see you soon.
