Favourite Festive Lip Glosses!

It is exactly four weeks until christmas and i couldn't be more excited! Around this time of year my makeup loves start to change slightly and i have to rake out all my favourite festive colours, such as darker lip glosses. These are four of my favourites that i want to share with you, i have watched the colour down below each lip gloss so that you can see the true colour.

Bourjous Effet 3D Lipgloss in 06 - This lip gloss is perfect if you want a super shiny, glossy elixir effect, it can be slightly sticky but that's the norm with most lip glosses! its a beautiful bright true red colour it's quite pigmented but still quite sheer so you can build upon it depending on how dark you want the colour.

Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer in Big Bang - This lipgloss is probably my favourite as it is soo pigmented i love it! Its a lovely consistency and apply so easily. I'd recommend using a lip liner before applying the gloss as if you do go over your lip line it looks obvious as it is so pigmented so take your time when applying. It only needs one application for it to be pigmented enough it's a very bright true red colour, not too sticky and it also smells amazing!

Stila Magnificent Metals Lip Gloss in Garnet - This is my newest lip gloss and i really love it, it's a lot less pigmented than the others but what drew me into buying this one was the amount of golden shimmers in it! I just instantly thought of christmas, the packaging of this product is also beautiful with the gold detailing and it looks amazing over a nude lip, adding a touch of shimmer perfect for a christmas party!

Nars Lip Gloss in Risky Business - This is also a newish purchase and the same with the Stila one it is one of the lesser pigmented ones out of the four i've chosen, it also has shimmers in it but a lot less than Garnet and it is much more of a nude colour rather than dark pinky red. It apply super easily with a lovely consistency and again i really love wearing this over a dark nude lipstick.

What are your festive favourites!? <3 

Millie Mackintosh Lashes

It's finally the weekend woo! Yesterday i was in my local town centre and came across these Millie Mackintosh lashes that i've wanted to try ever since she launched them and to make things even better they were £3.99 instead of around £8, bargain! So i grabbed two different styles to try out, i went for the "Belgravia" and "Portobello" ones. The packaging is absolutely gorgeous and the lashes come with free glue which is actually very good glue minus that horrible smell that some of the glues sometimes have. 

The Portobello lashes stood out to be the most as there is gaps in between the lashes and the band is very thing so they give a much more natural look and are beautiful on, i didn't need to trim them and i can't even feel them on my lashes which is amazing as normally i will avoid wearing lashes because they irritate my eyes so these are definitely my favourite! 

The second pair are just as lovely, the "Belgravia" lashes are also very natural looking with a very thin band which makes application so much easier! They aren't black but instead a really natural looking brown/dark blonde colour so you could get away with wearing these during the day without eyeliner for a much more fuller but natural look!

I love these lashes and definitely want to try some different styles out, has anyone else tried and loved these? what is your favourite lash brand?

Product review: Neals Yard Remedies Organic Palmarosa Range

If you watch my YouTube videos you will know that i feel a huge amount of love towards Neals Yard's products, they complete my life! Something that has recently increased my love for their products is the Purifying Palmarosa range. I was going through a bad patch of getting pimples and spots that were not welcome, this is unusual for my normally quite clear skin so i decided to look into what could help to clear it up as soon as possible and came across this range which has just been my absolute savour. 

I started out with the oily to combination skin kit which includes 5 different mini products from the range and it was enough to make me want to buy a couple of the full sized versions before i'd even used up the kit as my skin cleared up in no more than 4 days which in my eyes is AMAZING. So, i obviously couldn't wait to share my "secret weapon" with you guys. 

The toner has to be my favourite, i dap some on a cotton pad morning and night and just massage into my skin in circular motions and it makes my skin feel so squeaky clean and the softest it's ever felt. It's extra lovely in the morning after you've woken up just to really refresh your skin before applying makeup or completing your skin cleansing routine further. 

The moisturiser is gorgeous too the scent is lovely and fresh, i love the fact that the moisturiser isn't too thick or oily so it doesn't sit on your skin feeling sticky, it absorbs quickly and leaves your skin feeling nourished and clean which is exactly what you want out of a moisturiser. Another bonus is that it acts as a mattifyer which means it's keeping any oil your skin may be producing at bay concluding in a clean, fresh, bright, nourished and spot clear area, what more could you want!

Overall i can definitely say these will be repurchased when they sadly run out, which hopefully will be a while away yet as they have lasted me so extremely well already and i've been using them both twice a day for at least a month. 

The Palmarosa Daily moisture is £25, the toner is £16 or you can try the kit for £15 which i would really recommend, especially for teenagers going through that dreaded acne stage! 

Has anyone else tried this range? i would love to hear your feedback too! x

YouTube Update

Little fish in a huge ocean

After briefly telling you all yesterday that i had started a YouTube Channel i thought i'd talk a little more in depth about it and update you. So today is my third day and i have just uploaded my third video, pretty good going i think! Even though i only have a mere following of 3 subscribers (one being my boyfriend) i am loving it, to be completely honest with you even if i never reached over 10 subs (which i am expecting) i don't think i'd stop because i really love the process and creativity of being able to film something and share it with the universe on the interwebs ( technical term.. right?;) )

I have a passion for the creativity and it makes me so happy to be able to work on these "little videos" and i hope it can also make someone else happy, you never know! It has also massively helped my confidence, i am in fact a very shy person as i have mentioned in one of my earlier posts but for some reason, talking to a camera is different.. and WEIRD but its so much fun, there's no restrictions! (apart from the obvious) 

Anyway, i will continue to make these videos and, being the "little fish in the big ocean" i would love a little help along my way so if this is anyones thing i would love you to check my channel out, i will link it below :) Thank you loves <3

I started a YouTube channel!

I started a YouTube channel

So, i finally did something that i've wanted to do for years but never had the confidence too, says it all in the title.. I STARTED A YOUTUBE CHANNEL! yaay. I have posted a video each day since i started which is 2 but i've worked really hard on them considering i have never done anything like this before, i'm writing a post about this because i want to be genuine and not shove it down everyone throats to try and gain views/subscribers or be beggy in any way but it is hard to start out from scratch and i would LOVE you all soo much if you could take a little bit of time to go and watch them, like or subscribe.. whichever you wish to do :) i will link my channel down below..

Thank you loves! <3
