✎ Tip Tuesdays #2

Hi everyone! :)

Today I've brought back my Tip Tuesdays that I planned on starting a long time ago. I've not been very well recently and this was the best I could do under the circumstances.

My tip is about how to properly apply under eye concealer without making your dark circles or bags stand out. Here's the video:





Thank you for watching/reading and I hope I will be feeling better soon so I can make more videos.

July 2013 Favourites ♥

So I'm trying to get back into the swing of making videos and to start off, I thought I'd make a July favourites.

I've been loving the DKNY be delicious perfume as it's nice and fresh for the summer time.

 This is the mac powder I was talking about in my video. It's the Studio Careblend powder and I have the colour light plus. When I bought it, they were sold out of 'light' and being as pale as I am I didn't trust the make up artist when she suggested the light plus. However after trying it on, it's not much of a difference between the light version and it gives me a bit of colour.

 I carry this little beauty everywhere with me; in my pocket at work, in my bag and on my bedside table. The honey and milk version isn't my absolute favourite (the hydro care one is) but it's moisturising on my lips and feels really smooth. It also smells just like honey!

 I've had this brush for years! I can't find a link to it anywhere so unfortunately I don't know if they still make it. I love how it is soft but dense and doesn't pick up too much product. This is the brush I use for all my powders.

 The Rimmel apocalips is one of the nicest lip products I've ever tried. It's velvety smooth on my lips and Nova is a beautiful pinky mauve colour. I really want to try other colours in this range and I will possibly do a proper review on these once I collect a few.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed watching the video :)

OPI Can't Find My Czechbook

I've been loving the Euro Centrale collection from OPI lately. One of my favourite colours from the collection is Can't Find My Czechbook which is a pale, but bright baby blue colour - perfect for summer!  

I also like to add an extra something by putting the glitter polish from the same collection on my ring finger. It's called Polka Dot Com and is a clear base with purple and blue glitter particles. 

 

Have you got any favourite colours for summer? :)

A Little Adventure.

 In case anyone hasn't seen my instagram pictures of my Granny's dog. This is him! His name is Laddy and my gran adopted him about 6 months ago as his owner died of cancer. He's got the sweetest nature and is really well trained.

I always take him on long walks through woods near my house and this time I brought my camera as I thought the scenery was stunning. Here's a few photos I'd like to share with you all.

Rainbow Cheetah Nails!

I painted my nails this rainbow cheetah pattern a while ago but I thought I would still share it, as I love the way it came out :)

I like how bright and unique they look. A guy at the train station actually asked me if I'd painted my nails like the candy crush game haha.

For the colours I used:

-white: OPI alpine snow
-black: just a regular black nail art pen
-yellow: OPI fiercly fiona
-blue: OPI can't find my czcheckbook
-darker blue: OPI ogre the top blue
-lilac: OPI you're such a budapest
-darker purple: OPI pamplona purple
-pink OPI strawberry margarita

I painted my nails white for the base, then dotted all the colours listed above in a random order. I then took my black nail art pen (can't remember the brand) and drew C shapes around the coloured dots, not being too particular if it looked perfect. Lastly if there was any bare white sections, I added a few black dots here and there to finish off the look. I didn't use a top coat this time because I find even after a night of drying, the top coat still smears the black colour.

♥ Spring Wish List ♥

 

Blouse - Internationale | Necklace - Internationale | Barry M Nailpaint - Peach Melba | Nars Lipgloss - Turkish Delight | Dress - Missguided | Wedges - New Look | OPI - You're Such a Budapest

This is my spring wish list for 2013. I'm starting to really like pastel colours which is strange for me as I'm such a black clothes type of person. Since making this wish list I have actually purchased the pink blouse and necklace so maybe it will be featured in a haul or something. Looking at my wish list makes me really excited for spring and summer, especially when I don't get that excitement from looking out at the snow! 

I really like the OPI Euro Centrale collection and hope to get a few polishes including 'you're such a budapest'

What's on your spring wish list?

✭ Review ✭ Soap and Glory Scrub Your Nose In It

                                Soap & Glory Scrub Your Nose In It 125ml


For Christmas I received the Soap and Glory face scrub and I was instantly excited to try it as I love Soap and Glory products.

When you squeeze a small amount of the product out it's a blue-green colour and smells minty and refreshing. The instructions say to concentrate most of the product on your t-zone area and then spread the remaining scrub on the rest of your face.

Once or twice a week, I like to leave it on for a few minutes longer than usual for it to act as a face mask.

After rinsing the scrub off, my skin feels smooth and rejuvenated. For those of you who didn't know, I have very dry skin especially this time of year and I can get a bit flaky around my nose and forehead area.  This scrub helps with this problem a lot. Although I wouldn't say it gets completely rid of the flakes, I feel a lot more confident after using it and it reduces them dramatically.

I reckon this product will last me a long time because three months later, I'm not even halfway through the tube. I will always adore Soap and Glory and can't wait to try more products of theirs.

What's your favourite Soap and Glory product?
