Hello PPB's

With a new year starting there are always products that will be leaving behind and the ones that will be moving into the new year with you. I'm going to do two posts, whats coming with me (this one) and what I will be leaving behind. :) 

This year I really have found some gems that I know will be a must have in my make up bag for many more years to come, here is whats on top of my list.



  1. Estee Lauder Double Wear consealer.
  2. Mac Viva la glam 1
  3. Coco Chanel Mademoiselle
  4. Bare Minerals Mineral veil loose Powder
  5. Mac Rebel
  6. Essie Bahamama
  7. Redken Extreme Repair
  8. Real Technique brushes
  9. Lancome Hypnose Doll eyes mascara
 This year I tried out a lot more high end make up brands and I have really fallen in love with all of them. What can I say Make up is an expensive hobby!

Whats making the move into 2014 with you?

Lots of Love

June Favourites

So its that time again! I can't believe how quickly this year is going!! Seriously slow down! 

OK. Stright into the favourites :) 
Who doesn't love the realTechnique brushes! I am addicted! I want to collect them all! I love how they make my make up look and how easy they make application! My collection includes; Stippling Brush, Blush Brush, Powder Brush, Setting Brush and my newest addition The expert face brush! To be honest the only thing that bugs me about them is they are so hard to store because of their flat bottoms! I want realTechniques to bring out a brush wrap to make traveling with them easier!
I haven't ever really tried an cream products so the Maybelline DreamTouch Blush is my first! I can't remember the name if this exact colour, its doesn't say anywhere on the packaging but I know its number 2 haha :) Its a peachy blush. I think this is turning into my favourite blush ever! I really like how the cream blush looks on the cheek  and how easy they are to apply and to build. I use the realTechniques stippling brush to apply it. Its staying power is also pretty good! It makes the cheeks look s dewy! :) love it!
Now you all know how long I have been looking for a good Bronzer for! I popped in to John Lewis and happened to go to the BareMinerals counter. This is my first BareMinerals product and I am so impressed! Its the Bronzer and Luminizer compact, its perfect for my pale complection. I use the matte side to contore and I mix both sizes together and lightly brush them all over my face and neck, I use the Brush that came with it to contore and my realTechniques Blush brush to dust over my face. Its leave me with the perfet lightly bronzed face, which lets me honest I'm not going to get in England naturally this 'Summer' haha. After using this I want to go and have a look at more BareMinerals products. Is there any that your lovelies would recommend?

So just a quick favourites post today :) I have used these products everyday and can't imagen not using them everyday!

Link me your favourites posts if you done one in the comments I love reading them! :) Thank you for reading mine! :)

Lets have a chat...

Hello Lovelies :) 
So today's post is just a little chit chat post, I have been so busy with work that I just haven't had the time to plan and write any posts for this week so I just thought I would open my laptop and just type and see where it goes. I like reading posts like this so why not write one myself.

Well first of all I want to say a massive THANK YOU and HELLO to all my new wonderful readers! Its always makes me day when I log on to see comments or new followers! Just makes it all seem so worth while! I mean I write my blog because I love to do it and share what I love with you guys but it feels so good to know that people read it and want to read more! :) Its a good feeling. I know I promised a 200 followers giveaway and that's still going to happen, I'm just trying to decide what to giveaway...its harder than I though! and also how to run the giveaway, any tips?

Oh so I went out on my lunch break today with a plan to go and find some new shoes, the ones I have for work have really seen their day! I came back with this..
I think oops is the right work to use! I have been looking and researching bronzers for ages now and I just couldn't find one that I liked, I had been recommended to go and try the BareMinerals ones for ages but i always thought they looks too dark, you all know how pale my skin it!! But I popped into John Lewis and went to talk to the lady there, she was so lovely and helpful! I will do a full review on this if you want after I have used it but I'm so excited to start using it! I think I might get my everyday pressed powder from them as well, they all looked amazing as well! This little gift box cost £30 but if had just purchased a single bronzer it would have been £24 so for an extra £6 I got a double bronzer and lip balm and the brush! Amazing if you ask me :D
Have any of you ever tried BareMinerals product if so whats your favourite?

I also recently brought a new Essie polish! It's not very exciting but Its perfect for work, we have a very stricked dress code and sadly I can't get bright colours :(
Its Essie's 'Mademoiselle' just a really pretty natural colour, it gives the illusion of 'naked' nails as I like to call it, but I just think this makes them look healthier...agree? I also got an Essie 'no chip' top coat which so fair has been amazing! again I will be doing a review soon! :)

So after a long and stressful 2 weeks these have made me feel a bit better! I have a week off starting Saturday and it can't come soon enough! I'm exhausted!!

I hope you have all had a good June so far! and making the most of the sunshine when it decides to show its lovely face! :)

My next post should be an empties post so keep an eye out for that on Friday! :)

Lots of Love
