July Faves 2013

Hello everyone, so this post is going to be my favourite beauty products for the month of July. I haven't done a favourites for a few months now because I usually stick to the same products if I like them but I have decided to try out a few new product.

If you like to watch the video version of the July favourites, then please click on the below video which will take you to my youtube channel.

So I only have 5 favourite products for the month of July, some new and some old.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer - This is a lovely concealer because the texture is sooo creamy and soft to touch which makes it a pleasure to apply. Fit me covers most problem areas such as blemishes, spots, redness, acne scars apart from dark circles. I would use another concealer to cover up dark circles since this does cover the darkness to some extent but it doesn't completely cover and get rid of dark circles. This is a brilliant concealer for £5.99 and I have mine in 15 fair.

Collection (2000) Fix Me Up - The Collection fix me up is a spray which should hold makeup in place in hot weather. When the UK had hot weather, I tried it out and sprayed it on my face. It felt really cooling and smelled amazing. My face did feel quite wet from the spray but after five minutes, the wetness went and was left with normal looking makeup. I felt like this helped my makeup to stay in place whilst I was at work all day and was still left with makeup in the evening.

Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner - I have never really been into liquid eyeliners because I am never good at liquid eyeliners and I was a bit scared of trying it out. However this has completely changed my mind. The eyeliner was a felt tip which makes it a lot more precise and easy to draw a line onto the top of the lashes. Very easy to use and easy to take off with a makeup remover, loved it.

Urban Decay Cream Highlighter Sin - The Urban Decay cream highlighter in Sin I have had for a couple of years now. When I first got it, I loved it but after a while, I found new products which took over and this got forgotten about. One day, I looked through my makeup drawers and found this out again. It is a lovely champagne shimmery colour which I think will look lovely on all skin tones. The colour is brilliant for the summer and highlights the areas well.

Benefit Coralista - Benefit Coralista is probably one of the best blushers I own because it smells amazing and the colour is a lovely coral with a slight shimmer. Since it is a coral colour, it is perfect for the summer which is why I chose it again but it looks lovely on all skin tones especially fair like me. The shimmer isn't overpowering which is good because its nice and subtle and the colour is noticed a lot more than the shimmer.

So those were my favourites for July and I know there wasn't a lot but I promise next time I do a favourites there will be more.

First Thoughts on : Maybelline colour tattoo 24hr in Eternal Gold

So the colour tattoo cream eyeshadows have been around in the us for a long time and everyone mentioned how great these products are and there is such a hype around them. But when they came to the UK over a month ago, everyone loved them and they literally sold out in boots and superdrug. I found it pretty hard to find eternal gold for a while because it was sold out completely.

I watched videos where people were saying that eternal gold is the most beautiful gold colour they have ever seen and its something that they havent had before. I have got to say that i completely agree with what they have said because the colour is so beautiful and its not a colour that i have in my collection.

In the pot, it looks really bright, shimmery gold colour and when you apply it to the lids, some of the colour base does fade but the amount of shimmer you get is unbelievable. It looks like foil on your lids and its the most beautiful colour for the summer.

I havent properly tried it out and see if it really does stay on your eyes for the whole 24 hours and how quickly it fades but from just swatching it and applying it to my lids, i am pretty amazed and going to buy more of these cream eyeshadows :D

The Colgate Maxwhite One Toothpaste Challenge!!

Anyone heard of the Colgate maxwhite one? Apparently this toothpaste really makes your teeth a shade whiter in a week. Well this is what i read on the internet reading customers reviews on this toothpaste and i thought i might as well try and see if what they say really does work, or its just another toothpaste which says it makes teeth whiter but it doesnt do anything apart from making your breath smell nice.

I dont know how long this toothpaste has been out on the market but i was going around Tesco and i saw this. I have tried so many whitening toothpastes that claim they whiten teeth but they never do. Colgate maxwhite one, states that this toothpaste can make teeth one shade whiter in one week!. I looked on the internet for reviews and people have said that it even makes teeth one shader whiter in 3 days. This looks pretty interesting and had to try it out.

I will use it for one week, 3 times a day which is the instructed number of uses and will see if this toothpaste makes my teeth whiter in one week. I will do another post on this after the week is up, to review and see if the toothpaste works or not :) x-x

Haul and Review

Hiya everyone this is my first ever haul, so please be gentle :)
 I have got these products over a couple of weeks, so i didnt buy them in one big hit. All these products i bought with my own money. There are a total of 6 make-up products, so lets get started...


The first product is a bourjois products. It is a blush in 34 rose d'or. This is such a nice colour. it is a dark pink with a hint of gold it in. when you open the pot, you get a nice sweet smelling scent and it smells really nice like roses. Also with the pot, you get a little brush and i havent used it because i dont like to use the brushes that come with products. I have tried it and it gives a nice pink glow because of the gold hint in it. It is a nice colour for summer.

The second product is the Maybelline colour sensational lipstick in ambre rose( 112). This is a great lipstick. It is a nice pink colour with shimmer in it. the colour is a bit pale but it is nice and pink on the lips. The smell is not that nice and not that bad, so it is average. i could put up with it because the colour is so nice on the lips. I would buy it again.

 The next product is the Rimmel london moisture renew lipstick in soft coral(600). This comes in a purple package. It is a soft coral colour with shimmer it in. The shimmer is not much but you can see it. It is a really nice colour on the lips and it is nicer when i put clear lipgloss over it. It is a summer colour but can be worn anytime of the year. The smell is quite nice, it is not a horrible smell, it is a nice smell and can wear the lipstick on the lips.

The next product is the rimmel london lasting finish intense lipstick in pink blush(006). I couldnt find a picture, sorry. well the lipstick comes in a dark purple package. The colour is a pink colour as it says in the name. it has a bit of shimmer but not too much. It is a quite a pink colour. It is nice on the lips. The smell is really lovely and it is nice to put on the lips because of the smell.


 The next product, is the natural collection green concealer. It is green because it helps to cover red spots which does help. It is a green concealer, i know it looks horrible but it does work, i have tried it out and it was ok. I would use it again.

This is my last product. It is the Rimmel london Sexy curves mascara. So this is a mascara with a weird wand. It has curves on the wand, i think this would be hard to apply it to the lashes. I havent tried it yet but i will try it soon. I got mine in Black.

That is my First haul and review on this blog, i will have more posts to come, so please follow me.thanks
