♡ GOODBYE 2014 AND HELLO 2015! ♡
☼ IT'S SPRING!! ☼
Okay, I've been a bad blogger this year so far, I get it, but I feel that now with April coming up, I owe you guys a favourites blog and since I haven't done one this year, why not throw them all into one big blooming blog? Sounds fair enough doesn't it?
Before I get started, I NEED to make some changes to this blog, I was thinking a new name and layout so if you have any ideas then please leave them in the comments below! :)
MAKE-UP & BEAUTY
FOUNDATION/BASE: Okay, I've said this before and I'm saying it again, The Body Shop All in One BB Cream in the shade 00. It is the palest one of them all yet it is too dark for me without tan but with me always applying false tan, this cream literally makes your face glow as if you have just got in from sunbathing, you literally need a pea sized drop of it and it covers your face perfectly set with the right powder!
Another item I have been using LOTS & LOTS is the Dream Satin Liquid Foundation by Maybelline, I use the shade Ivory (obviously..), I don't really know why I stopped using this because it is amazing, the coverage is brilliant and it blends amazingly, it doesn't look cakey and it is flawless, paired with the FitMe powder, I used to get compliments with it all the time, seriously get it, you won't regret it.
POWDER: I'm not gonna lie, I have been very short on cash this month and a girl needs powder regardless of what the outcome looks like and I found a cheap powder to replace my absolute favourite FitMe Powder, so I found the Rimmel Clear Complexion powder in the shade 021 Transparent, it doesn't have the best coverage (obviously) since it is clear, but pair this with the Dream Satin Liquid foundation and you're sorted!

CONTOUR: This has to be the best contour kit I have ever laid eyes upon, it is the Barry M Flawless Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit, mine has almost run out & I think I bought it at the beginning of February and i've used it every single day with and without makeup, this palette is a gift sent from the make-up God herself. EYESHADOW: I've resorted to using bronzer for eyeshadow over the start of the year since browns go pretty well with spring based makeup and also when you have been using false tan, for this I have been using the Solar Powder bronzer by the almighty Soap and Glory! Also since it is spring, I have started using the Naked 3 Palette since the pinks and shimmer colours compliment the season perfectly!
LIPS: I have a few products for lips, a liner, balm and a crayon type balm! Starting with the Lip Liner.. If you know me, you'll know I literally always test out liners for the perfect Kylie Jenner pout and I think I may have found a pretty good pink shade. It is the very cheap and affordable Collection Lip Liner - Precision Colour in the shade 17 Clover Pink paired with the crayon type balm which is the Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in the shade 225 Sultry. Pair these two together and lightly dab the excess of the balm off with a tissue and you have the perfect Kylie pout!
MASCARA: THIS MASCARA IS AMAZING, PERFECT AND JUST UGH. I love it. It is the Benefit Roller Lash mascara! I have the small one from the magazine I bought it with in February and I must say, for a mascara as little as it is, it lasts ages! I'd say mine is about halfway full? It does everything, makes your lashes extremely long, volumises your lashes to however you want and it even curls them for you! I never do ratings but it is a 10/10!!!
HAIR PRODUCTS!
HAIR: I decided to get a different 'scent'? Batiste Dry Shampoo to have a change from using the Cherry one. When I went to Superdrug a couple weeks ago, I picked up the Eden one which is Sugar Melon & Honeysuckle and it is literally the prettiest thing I've ever smelt for a hair product, I'd say if this scent was a person, it would be a mixture of Audrey Hepburn and Julie Andrews. Just elegant and well, pretty.
I also bought a Tangle Teezer! I got the one thats is lilac and baby pink and it is perfect, compared to my (expensive) Denman brush, it doesn't hurt or pull at all, I literally need them in every colour going.
