In My Opinion Of Course



Just a quick one!!

Over the last few weeks I have been using a combination of foundations which literally make the most perfect foundation EVER!

In my opinion of course!

This is what I have on in the picture above, it really does make your skin look flawless.

I have been mixing two together, my trusted faithful Rimmel Wake Me Up and LOreal Infallible.

I have them both in a light and darker shade for when I'm tanned so I can mix them to make the perfect colour if I'm an in between shade.

I have often, not loads, but definitely more recently seen YouTubers have started mixing different ones together so I thought why not try it with my two favourites.

One another note I have also fallen completely in love with Mac Pro Longwear Concealor again and don't no why I stop using it but I bought it again a few weeks back and I'm just in love.

I also contoured with the new seventeen palette which I will review next because that is a definite must have!

Lets Start From the Begining

So one of the reason I got so into makeup products and reviewing and trying out so much different stuff is a lot to do with watch hours and hours of YouTube videos.

So I've decided that I would tell you my favourite people to watch.

I don't just watch these few however these are the people I find myself going back to time and time again, repeat watching videos and checking if they have uploaded anything new.

I think to become a successful YouTube person you have to have something about your personality, I continue to watch these people because I want to hear the thought and I want to know what new items they have got but also I want to know what they have been doing. These people don't just do a tutorials or reviews they do updates on there life, what they have been doing, talk about relationships and even new products they have been using. 

This is who I like, and this is why I continue to watch the same few people.



Nicola Guerriero 

She was probably the first person I found myself continueing to go back and watch all the time, she is really funny, and unlike a few other she doesn't edit all her mistakes out of her videos.

She wears the same kind of makeup like me, nothing to flash, a lot of nudes and natural colours with a bold lip.

She comes across as a really person and is very easy to watch


Kathleen Lights

She is one of the new ones I've started watching, I just stumbled upon her when I was looking at different subscription boxes.

She is also very funny and very chatty.

Some people I guess just want tutorials and reviews with no extra chat but that's what keeps me going back people.



 
Barbara Rossi - ThePersianbabe

I have only been watching Barbara over that last few weeks,

She is very sheek and does really good look books, she is from the UK so defiantly more relatable to me.

Barbara talks more about fashion then makeup but she still does pick up on a lot of different topics .


I also watch;
Carly Bybal
A Little Obsessed
Lily Pebbles
Lily Melrose
Zoella
 
Just to name a few, I would suggest just having a good look on the side and look at one of the suggestions.

New Years Resolution



These are my goals before the end of the year.

The Chloe perfume I treated myself to last week, I got the small 30ml because I was looking for something that I could carry around in my bag because my Paul Smith Rose which I normally use in 100ml which I feel like it's carry a brick around with me and with nappies, wipes, 5 lipsticks (mostly all nudes) random bikes and cars all in my bag I just don't need the extra weight.


I think my next treat will be Banana powder, there's only so many times you can add something into your shopping basket before you take the plunge right.

Then after that it'll defiantly be the Tarte Amazonian Clay blusher, whilst search for UK stockers I found out that you can buy them from QVC and also most of the products you get a brush with them which you don't normally get if you just order online.

The rest will just come over the year I hope.

I don't always buy expensive make up because most of the time I think the high street brands do things just as good but hey a girls got to have something to look forward too.

All White Everything


Yes am I very aware that it is know where near my birthday and chirstmas is even further away but I need these!

Mam if your reading this, these are all from river island!! 

Everyone has a preference of the shop that they like the most, I always think more adventurous people shop in topshop, but personally I find them sizest.
And by sizest anyone who isn't a stick will have noticed this, they literally only stock 4 and 6, there's something a little bit sad about reaching the last one on the rail and it being a 8. 
I have thought this for so long that I don't even bother going in to look anymore.

I am totally more of a River Island girl, and have been for years. I always think no matter what the season they always have a least one good collection.

I'm really starting to get into whites and nudes, I don't know why as having a two year old this can never be a good idea but still I love this who collection.

So again anyone feel free to get me these, any will do but all is best!

There Ain't Nothing Healthy About Competition

GlossyBox VS BirchBox

So a few weeks back I posted about my first glossybox which I loved, one because I love coming home to things like that I feel like it's a little present.
Too me From me! 

And two because I love trying little samples.

So with this in mind I also subscribed to BirchBox.

So far I've received two boxes, I didn't post about the first one because I wasn't a fan, so I thought I would give it another chance and wait for my second box to arrive.

Well it did in Monday and so did the feeling of disappointment.

To be honest, it's not great. The samples are small. One of the face serums I got barely had one use in them, which if you can't test out the product properly, to me, kind of defeats the object of being a tester.

In both boxes I got shampoo which would be ideal for travelling, if you had short hair, which I'll add I do not.

I think I could possibly have liked this box had I got just that and not glossybox as well, but for me I would choose glossybox.

One thing they do which, I love/hate is in the boxes they leave a sneak peak of what is coming the month after, last month was benefit, which came in the form of a travel size of they're really mascara, which I do love actually and this month was a sneaky peek that there'll be something from Laura Mercer. Which obviously now means I won't cancel it. 

They do say curiosity killed the cat!

Bow Down Bitches!!



I have finally managed to get my hands on Velvet Teddy by Mac!!

Honestly when my post came yesterday I did a little dance whilst walking over to get it.

This lipstick has been out of stock since about October, thanks to Kylie Jenner, who is said to be wearing it in the above photo.

Naturally I had to wear it today, it really is the perfect peachy brown and looks really nice especially because I've got a tan at the minute.

I think I have mentioned this lipstick a few times already just by the pure hype of it but I had kind of stop asking about it because it really seemed like nowhere was ever going to get it back in, I literally just stumbled it when I was ordering the Pro Longwear Concealor online.

If you can get one I would defiantly recommend it, I'm in love.

New Job, New Wardrobe, Right??

So for those of you who don't know, I am a Manager of a restaurant! Well I was until Thursday!

I worked for the company for 4 years, and some of them years felt like long years! But for the most part I enjoyed them, however for the last few months I hadn't really been enjoying myself, I think a little of this was to do with me being bored. 

So I took the plunge and accepted a job I was offer, and I have felt sick ever since. For me I hate not knowing things and the thought of going into somewhere new where I don't know anything scares the hell out of me!! 

So I did want anyone would do to carm myself down, I bought some new work wear!! That's what everyone does right?? 





River Island £45 grey relaxed cotton jersey cocoon jacket
Topshop £36 MOTO black Joni Jeans
River Island £25 White smart cotton shirt
New Look £17.99 Black snakeskin textured panel pointed pumps

I love this outfit, this is what I think I will wear on my first day. I will wear a gold necklace with it because I'm not a massive fan of buttoning up my collar. I have rather large boobs so if I do I think I just end up looking like one big boob.

Another thing I loved about this shirt is that I could get it in a size 10, it is ment to be women looser then what I'll be wearing it, but still it's been a while since I've fit into anything that's a size 10 so I was having it.

I like this look because I think it's smart but it's still something I would wear, I hate the thought of wearing something that I would feel uncomfortable in. I personally think I spend the day thinking about what I look like rather then work.



New Look £32.99 stone waterfall jacket
River Island £25 light blue cambray rolled cuff shirt
Topshop £36 MOTO White Joni jeans
New Look £19.99 light brown leather ballet pumps

First these pumps in the picture aren't my actual ones, I bought the pointed one in brown that are in the other outfit but I couldn't find a picture online.

For me this outfit is a little bit different to what I would normalled wear, I think I have mentioned before that I was a all black everything sort of person but I thought it was spring now and I have just lightened my hair was I wanted to try something different.

I love this outfit, I know it is similar to the other one but like I said before I know I will feel comfortable in these and that's what I was looking for.

I love ( capital L O V E) Joni jeans, these are my favourite jeans! And I mean favourite! They are a stretchy, high waisted jean. They are just so comfortable. After having a baby my tummy area has never been the same and these just tuck everything in so I'm not as self conscious. For me these are defiantly the perfect mummy jean.
