June Favourites

Hello everybody!

I am aware that last month I didn't do my favourites but that's only because I had such a small amount of favourites that it wasn't worth doing a post over.
This is going to be a long one so get your snacks ready..

 

 

I recently rediscovered this body lotion in my bathroom cabinet and have fallen in love completely. It's such a silky smooth lotion and I love the scent! It's quite floral but not to overpowering.

 

 

 This is something completely random but a definite favourite! Its a solid perfume which is super handy for places like school where they forbid spraying perfumes. When you apply this it literally smells as if you have just sprayed perfume! I really want to go out and buy some more solid perfumes.

I have read this book before but didn't think much of it and recently decided to start reading it again and I have really been enjoying it. Although I don't really like reading books I have loved all of John Greens so far.

 

Seeing the name 'Sephora' excites me so much!!
On Wednesday I went to France for the day with my friends and it was so cute. They had a huge Sephora there and a SALE! I bought this foundation and its actually amazing.. It's so light weight and the coverage is gorgeous! It leaves a beautiful matte finish too!

 

The other week I was rushing around looking for a peachy/nude lip stick it turns out I didn't have a lipstick but I had a lipstain..even better! This is gorgeous and lasts all day! I can eat and drink throughout the day and when I come to remove my makeup it hasn't smudged at all!

 



 

I have spent so much on super high end primers and not seen a huge difference so I decided to go for a plain old drugstore primer. Nivea had a sale on and  saw this for £3.32 and had to pick it up! This is my new favourite primer over all the high end ones I have tried, Its so hydrating and leaves my skin feeling so nice!

 

That's all for today.

haul!

Hello everybody!

I went shopping at the weekend at the weekend and my mum pointed out that I haven't posted a haul in a while so I decided to do one today!:).

 

 I am in love with this kimono, its so beautiful! This is from Select and was only £16.  I have already worn this loads and received so many compliments whenever I have worn it. I love how summery it is and you can either dress it up or down. OOTD post on this kimono here

These are a love or hate type of shoe.
These are again from Select and were only £7!!  These shoes are so comfortable, I wore them for over twelve hours at the Summertime Ball and they didn't hurt once!

Usually I am not one for false nails as they damage your nails and often look horridly really fake. However I decided to give these false nails a try as they look so pretty! I went for a lovely natural nude colour and a beautiful coral colour which actually matches my kimono!

I recently ran out of primer and me being lazy I thought I could go without one but my makeup didn't last nearly as long! I saw this primer in my local Superdrug for £3.32 and I love trying out new products!

I am in love with this shoulder bag! It's literally the perfect size and as its a neutral colour it goes with so much! I have been taking this everywhere with me and it fits all my crap in it *hehe!*

That's everything I bought at the weekend and I hope you enjoyed!
Sidenote; I did buy some other bits but I didn't feel like they were very interesting!

NOTD#4

 

Hello everybody!

I really enjoy sharing my NOTD posts with you so I'm here with another one.

 

Before I go on my nails were wet at the time of taking these photos so excuse them!

 

Today I am fashioning a beautiful peachy, coral colour! A little bit similar to the colour I was wearing the other day! However today I am wearing Barry Ms Gelly  Hi-shine in Papaya.

 

The BarryM nail polishes are by far my favourite as they are super creamy and the formula is amazing! You could definitely get away with just one coat of this as its super pigmented! However I always apply two coats, better safe than sorry.

 

I really can't recommend these polishes enough! They are super cheap and by far the best!

Beauty Scenario Tag

Hello everybody!

Today I have decided to do the 'Beauty Scenario Tag' as it looks like a lot of fun to do and if you haven't already noticed tags are one of my favourite posts to do.

1. You have to get rid of all your foundations and you can only keep one high end and one drugstore, which do you keep?
I'm still trying to find the perfect foundation so this is quite tricky but most definitely my Rimmel London true match foundation and my Benefit flawless foundation as there the two that suit my skin the most.

2. You go for an interview and the lady interviewing you has lipstick on her teeth. Do you approach the subject or ignore it completely?
Tell her nicely, making a joke out of the awkward situation as I would want someone to tell me if I had lipstick on my teeth! I'm sure she'd rather be told about it than it be left there..

3. You’re not feeling yourself and need a pick me up. Which lipstick do you put on to make yourself feel beautiful?
Probably my Dior Lipstick as it makes me feel really happy when I wear it because I only really wear it on a special occasion.

4. You go back in time for a day to your teenage years, how would you do your hair and makeup differently?
As I am still in my teens this question is a little irrelevant to me. However if I could turn the clocks back beauty wise I would probably not have started wearing face makeup so young as I would hope my skin would be flawless if I hadn’t. Also, I would have done something about the horrendous piece of hair that I used to call a ‘fringe’.

5. You ask your hairdresser for a shoulder length Pixie Lott hair cut, but they hear wrong and give you a pixi cut. Do you a) Smile, say thank you, leave and call your mum hysterical b) Cry in the chair and things get awkward or c) Complain to the manager and demand a refund.
 Thank god this has never happened to me however mistakes happen. I would be upset but I would probably go for option A as it wouldn't be there fault.

6. Your friend surprises you with a 4 day city break and you have 1 hour to pack. Which ‘do it all’ palette do you pack in your makeup bag?
Easy one. My MUA undress me too palette as its gorgeous and had shades perfect for any occasion! Also its the right size for travelling.

7. Your house has been robbed, don’t worry everyone is safe, but your beauty stash has been raided. What’s the product you really hope is safe?
I'm really protective over all my makeup however I would definitely hope my Dior Blush is safe as its most beautiful piece of makeup I own and I'm in love with it.

8. Your friend borrows your makeup and returns it in awful condition. Do you a) Just pretend you haven’t noticed b) Ask them to repurchase it or c) Secretly do the same to something of theirs.
As I said in the previous question I am extremely protective over my makeup and so if any of my friends did this to me they would definitely know about it, as it would hopefully be an accident I would forgive them though as isn’t that what friends are for?

I tag all of you to do this tag and if you do let me!

JAMESSSSS

James always wants to be in my blogpost so here is his own little section once again:')). 

Tanya Burr Review

 

Hello everybody!

So a little while ago I purchased one of the Tanya Burr lip-glosses and I recently have been trying it out a lot! I always receive so many questions about it so I decided to review it for you all. I bought this a while ago but I am not one to instantly form an opinion on a product within a few tries so I had to leave it a little while until I was able to do this post, hopefully you all don't mind about the delay.

DODGEY SWATCHING...


Now because I am a HUGE FAN of Tanya Burr I instantly had to go out and buy her lip gloss.
This is a beautiful colour, perfect for spring/summer! This smells absolutely amazing just like strawberry laces! * I often have to stop myself from eating this...*
 
This is so creamy and has great pigmentation! I apply this right before I go out the door and it lasts for a good while, until I have a drink and then it wares off but that's not a problem at all as I always have it in my bag with me!
I definitely will be going out and buying some more of these!

This is only £6.99 and available in a lot of Superdrugs, I was actually so happy when I saw this appear in my local superdrug.

I can't wait for the rest of her cosmetics to come out!

Love, Kiera x



Summer Essentials

 
 
 

 

Hello everyone!!

Its finally summer!! Not that it makes any difference to those of us who live in the UK..but I'm still really excited because it means trips to the beach and BBQ's and lots more ice cream!

 

During every season everybody has 'essentials' that they find as important necessities. I myself also have essentials for most seasons but today I am just going to show you my Summer Essentials. However I wont bother to show you the obvious essentials e.g sunblock, glasses, music.. you get the picture!

Soap&Glory Body Mist

This is a right old weird one to start off with. In the Summer I go to the beach a lot, as most of you probably do. I hate the feeling of being really hot and sticky so to cool myself down I like to spray body mist onto my skin. I probably sound like a right old weirdo but trust me this really helps to cool down!

I am not going to dwell on this one too much because I feel like I constantly talk about this product. In the summer everybody sweats a lot more(state the obvious) but as I already have quite oily skin I don't want to add to that so a really good matte powder is a huge essential for me!

This moisturiser a complete life saver! I am not a huge fan of having my legs out however recently I am trying to be a lot more confident in that department.  One thing I hate about my legs is the moisture of them. Usually moisturing my legs would seem like a right chore but thanks to the Vaseline Spray&Go  it only takes me around 2minutes to moisturise my legs which means I am more confident.

 

Nail polish for me is a huge essential in the summer because I have a lot of time off school and am able to paint my nails for more than two days! I like to wear really pretty pastel colours in the summer... sometimes in the winter too!

My last summer essential has to be concealer because in the summer I am not a lover of wearing foundation as I find it quite heavy on my skin. I always resort for concealer in the summer as my everyday face product. You might all think this is an essential all year round however for me its not because I usually wear foundation with really high coverage so then concealer isn't really needed.


There my summer essentials, what are yours?

NOTD#2

Hello everybody.

 

Today I have decided to do a NOTD post as its quick and easy.

 The weather today is absolutely gorgeous too!

Today I am fashioning a beautiful coral colour by MUA in the shade 'sweet peach'. This colour Is perfect for summer and not to mention right down my street.

This polish isn't too streaky or water and is the right consistency.
Considering these polishes are only a pound I highly recommend them.  I own so many of these polishes and I love pretty much every single one of them.

Having a healthy lifestyle

Hello everybody!

I often get asked about how I changed my diet to something a lot healthier so instead of repeating myself constantly I decided to make a post on it!

Like most people I would get home from school and head straight to the snack cupboard, often choosing something rather unhealthy like chocolate or crisps. These snacks are really irrelevant and everybody can go without them to be honest.  Now when I get in from school I go for something a lot healthier but still filling e.g fruit or nuts or a smoothie even! This way I'm not taking in extra un needed sugar.

 I can't stress enough how important it is to eat three meals a day, NOT TWO OR ONE. Your supposed to have a big breakfast, medium sized lunch and small a dinner. I always eat breakfast now, I never uset to but I have made a thing of eating breakfast.  Try to cut out all things like mcdonalds or any other take aways as much as possible!

Exercise is so important! I go to the gym 4times a week, minimum. I'm not saying you have to go a fancy gym, going for a run around where you live is just as good for you! Even walking your dog.


Eating healthier can help too now I am not saying go on a diet but just adjust your eating habits.

I can not stress this enough DO NOT USE PILLS OR SHAKES TO LOSE WEIGHT. Although these may work they are so so so bad for your body! They are full of harsh chemicals ect..

I am not a health expert however I hoped this helped!

Love, Kiera x
