Review - Baby Skin Primer

                                                               

Hello everyone, today I'm am going to being doing a review on the Baby Skin by Maybelline New York.

I was a sucker for the launch of the Baby Lips and went a little crazy over them. When I heard they were going to be launching the Baby Skin primer in the UK I knew I had to pick it up, as I loved the Baby Lips I had high expectations for this. I picked mine up from Boots for £7.99, which is a little pricey for a primer in my opinion but it was worth it. The packaging reminds me immediately of the Baby Lips, what's not to like?

At first test, I thought that the primer might break me out as it has a silicone like texture to it which can block your pores, which I really don't need right now! However I couldn't be more wrong, it's lightweight and glides onto your skin and erase's any sigh of large pores and makes your skin feel super soft; I have visible pores around my nose area and after applying this they were near enough gone. I did not break me out and I did notice a massive difference on the length of time my makeup lasted, it didn't melt off my face and lasted from when I put it on in the morning to when I took it off at night. It creates a nice even base for foundation or concealer to stick to and stay onto.

I sometimes even wear the primer on its own, as it gives such a flawless and matte finish to your skin, I rarely need to apply powder. The Baby Skin was the first primer I bought and I will surely buy more. I highly recommend the Baby Skin primer whether you are beginning to use primer or you use them all the time, either way it is a great drugstore primer. 

Thank you for reading, and I hope you all enjoyed this post and look out for my next one.

January Q&A

Hello everyone, on Instagram I asked you to ask me some questions and today I'll be answering them.

Favourite instagrammers?

I have so many but a few of my favourites are idklivv, floralmia, hiyaimlauren, fetching_tigerss and dijesstive. Basically everyone I follow, you know who you are!

Favourite lush product?

I love all lush products, but my favourite is probably the so white bath bomb, its a very fresh scent. But,they don't sell it anymore, only at Christmas. If I were to chose something else it would be the melting marshmallow moment, which honestly smells like heaven and bubble-gum.

If you could only wear one item of makeup, what would it be?

It would be concealer, as I have quite bad dark circles and would like to cover them up along with my spots.

How did you have so many followers?

I honestly don't know, I just post often and mostly if you post with a theme seems to work? However everyone's got to start somewhere, and I don't believe Instagram being all about followers. It doesn't matter how many followers you have.

What do you use to edit your photos?

I use VSCO cam and Phonto to brighten and watermark my photos.

Where are your favourite places to shop?

I shop ALOT, my favourites are definitely Boots, Topshop, Urban Outfitters, Mac, Superdrug, Selfridges. I've probably covered everything you could want to buy though!

What is your favourite makeup brand?

My favourite drugstore makeup brand is Maybelline. I love all of their mascaras that I have tried and I love the Maybelline fit me concealer; its something I can't go without. Not forgetting their baby lips which I know most of you love; I own six, which I guess is kind of a problem. As for high-end makeup brands, my favourite is either Mac or Benefit, I own two mac eye shadows, both of which are highly pigmented and I would like to get more. However I don't own a lot of high-end products, because they are rather expensive.

What is your favourite scent?

One Direction's Our Moment, because... it's One Direction, it also smells heavenly; its a mixture of fresh and sweet. I also love Marc Jacobs Honey perfume, which has quite a sweet scent but nothing too overpowering.

Favourite memory of 2013?

Definitely going to New York with my family, it was amazingly unreal! It was something I had wanted to do for so long and I am so grateful that I was able to go.

Who are you idols?

Demi Lovato, she is such an inspirational women because of what she has been through and has overcome also because of what she is doing to help the girls of today who are struggling.

They are all the questions I am going to be answering today I hope you enjoyed it and comment below any future questions and I will be sure to answer them in my next Q&A.

2013 Favourites

Hello everyone, another year has pasted and its scary how quick its gone! But today I'm going to be showing you my favourites of 2013. 2013 has been the year where I discovered so many new products that I now love and have repurchased numerous times.

The first products I want to talk about are beauty products. I have discovered so many new brands and products this year, but one of my must-haves has definitely been my rocket volume express mascara. It gives your lashes a great amount of volume and also lengthens them really well and does not clump up. I also layer it up with my Benefit They're Real mascara which is another favourite. This mascara really thickens up your lashes and although the bristles are quite spiky, it's a great mascara and paired with the Rocket they go hand in hand together. For eyes I have been wearing cream eye shadows on my lids, the three I own are two of the Maybelline colour tattoos in on and on bronze and barely branded, also the smash box cream shadow in riches. All of which are highly pigmented and creamy and all glide on the lids, that give a nice base for eye shadow or to wear on its own.  The nyx jumbo eye pencils are cream shadows in a stick form, the shades I have are milk and black bean and I wear them almost everyday and they are super easy to apply. My last beauty favourite of 2013 are eos lip balms, I picked them up whilst in the States, they are really moisturizing and packaging is so cute, I have four flavours; blueberry acai, summer fruits, strawberry sorbet and mint.

Next want to share with you my fashion favourites. I love to experiment with different styles and this winter I have been loving the tartan trend, I own a red tartan scarf I picked up at Primark for £4 and I have been wearing it whenever I have the chance. My next favourite are my white converse, I've had them a few years now and still wear them non stop, they are so easy to style and go with everything. Skater skirts have been a big trend this year and I have picked up three over the year and love them all, the colours I have are black, maroon and a floral one. I also love every winter oversized jumpers and sweaters, I have way too many for my own good from numerous places, but my favourite has to be my Harvard sweater I picked up from Lily Vintage, which features in my OOTD #1 if you would like to check that out.

 Now onto the random favourites! My all time favourite book is The Fault in our Stars by John Green, it is honestly the best book I've ever read. It is such a sad yet happy book, and I know many people love it too. My final favourite is my iPhone 5, which I got for my birthday this year. I'm on it non-stop, it's an addiction! I'm always on YouTube or Instagram on it, which is kind of a problem and I guess they could be favourites too!. So that is all my favourites of 2013, 2013 was an amazing for me; I started my Instagram and blog and met some amazing people through it. I hope your 2013 was as good and wish you all to have an amazing 2014!!
