sunday summary- braces,birthday and breaking dawn!!

hey everyone!! i hope you've had a good week? mine has definitely had its ups and downs! my week started with getting braces on tuesday and i have to say it was not the most pleasant experience, i didn't like my dentist and i have sensitive teeth so when he shot the air and water thing i nearly jumped off the seat, it was freezing! so for the next few days i stuck to soup and ice cream and felt like my teeth could fall out oh yea and the wires were chopping up the inside of my mouth! ive started to get used to them now and i ate a sandwich today so I'm pretty proud of myself! just another 18 months to go :(

But.. my week got alot better when i went to see breaking dawn part two on saturday with neave it was amazing!! id definitely recommend it if you haven't seen it yet and it was also the day that the Christmas lights were turned on in my town so we went after to see the fireworks!.. OH and we got our photo taken with a real reindeer he was so cute! so i have definitely gotten into the christmas spirit this week!

im not sure if ive mentioned this but its my birthday next saturday and i got an amazing surprise today neave came over with my present (she wanted me to get it early in case i bought it myself!!)and she got me the naked pallet i was so pleasantly surprised thank you neave! and definitely expect to see it staring in some fotds!! the colours are so beautiful and i cant stop looking at it! so that was definitely a highlight of the week!

the last thing i wanted to mention was that i hit 100 followers on friday and i just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all by beautiful followers when i first started this little blog i had no idea how much it would mean to me and i put so much time and work into it so it really is the best feeling knowing that some people are enjoying it and that im helping some people out so thank you thank you thank you!! i feel like compared to alot of other blogs mine is just a baby it 5 months old so to have hit that milestone so quick has really shocked and surprised me i am truly so grateful!

so thats another week gone id say all in all its been a good one and now its time to go to sleep and get ready for the week ahead! hope you all have a good week!!

Review: rimmel stay matte powder!

hey everyone! firstly, if you saw this post up about an hour ago and clicked on it and there was only the pictures up sorry about that i was in the middle of writing this post id just uploaded these pictures and i have to go out i came back to realise i had published my half done review!! :o so sorry if that had you confused but its here now the full review!....

i got this powder simply because of the huge hype around it in the bbloger community and i was curious to see what everyone was so excited about and at first i have to say i wasnt sure about this powder i have combination skin and my under eye area is quite dry so when i put this powder on for the first time i notice the powder caking with the concealer i have on

i know it is powder and its job is to dry your skin but i just didnt like the look of that at all!

however, after a few weeks of avoiding it i decided to give it another change! and was very careful around my under eye makeing sure i had blended it well and i had absolutly no problem with it  i like the finish it gives and i had no shine all day!

id say im definaty joining the beauty bloggers raving about powder because since i started using it i havent stopped! id say its about a medium coverage unless ofcourse you get the transparent one and id say it last up to a good 6-7 hours because i have been wearing it to school everyday and it has kept my makeup looking the same all day!

the only think i would say is if you have dry skin this probably wont be for you, but to be honest if your skins really dry i dont think you need a powder at all! i hope you found this review really helfull

heres a picture of me wearing the powder...(dont know why its sideways!!)

hope you enjoyed!! love you <3

Collection lasting perfection concealer-worth the hype?

 i don't know why but i was very sceptical about tiring this product, id been looking at it for ages before one day just picking it up.i don't know why i was so prejudice about this product I'm guessing just because of the huge hype around it i thought "could a £3.99 concealer really be that good?" well the short answer to that question............ YES!

 this concealer leaves such a flawless finish and blends a dream! the coverage i would say is medium to full but it doesn't look really thick on the skin its the most natural looking full coverage concealer I've ever tried!Also is doesn't cake throughout the day i have been using this concealer for school and when i get home this hasn't budged!here's a swatch or two...:)

one this i would say about this concealer is that the applicator get ALOT of product onto it so where  with other concealers i would put the applicator straight onto my face i have to add in an extra step of first putting the concealer onto my hand then blending into my face using a concealer brush.

overall i love this concealer and don't think ill find another one of better quality at the amazing price of £3.99( at boots) any time soon!

 

i hope you enjoyed this review if you have any products you would like me to review don't hesitate to leave me a comment or email!

 

have you tried this concealer? if so what'd you think? xx

 

 

*bargin alert!!* twist and out nailpolish remover!

hey everyone! so im sure most of you have heard of the new bourjois instant nailpolish remover which is basically sponge soaked in nailpolish remover with a hole in the middle (simple but genious!).And this is basically the same thing...except the price!

 the bourjois one is £5.00 which for bourjois isnt too bad but for a nailpolish remover a bit pricy.This one i picked up at poundland for £1 (obviously alana!) and its basically the same thing .I havent tried the bourjois one so i cant compare them but for removing nailpolish this is perfect it takes about 4-6 seconds per nail and it removes all of the polish easily! i actually seen another blog post on this product but they said (wrote) that they got it at a local shop so i was really excited to see it in poundland when i went in!

the bourjois nailpolish remover...

poundland nail polish remover...

so i thought i would just let you know about this little find! i think its great if you like the idea of the bourjois instant nailpolish remover but dont want the spend £5 on nail polish remover

hope you enjoyed this post and found it helpful!please follow if you want to see more!

have you tried this nail polish remover or the bourjois one? what do you think? xo
