No7 Vouchers

So I really wanted to post my opinion on the number 7 vouchers at boots atm. They are giving them out and you have till Sunday 19th May to use them.
There are 2 vouchers but I have 4 ;) and they are:
£3 off with No7 makeup
£5 off No7 skincare.
The things I hate about them are the fact there are no cheap products around £5 and you will end up paying at least £5 anyway while using the vouchers. I obviously do have enoughbut it would be nice for once to spemd little but get more if you get me sadly with these vouchers you can't.

It is obviously only for Boots and it was kind of obvious but I was hoping you could use them at superdrug as it is cheaper but no. I guess I probably will use these vouchers but I think there is alot fof things that could be better about them.

Drugstore and More Makeup Haul

So me and my friend Lauren had planned this little shopping trip for at least a week and when saturday finally came. It was time :). It was my first week back at school this week and can I just say? It was shit.
But I am not writing this blog post to tell you my opinion on school as we all have 'em and there isn't time so im going to tell you what I bought.

So first of all I bought 4 Barry M nail polishes. 2 of one effect and 2 that are just normal pastel nail polishes.
My first 2 that I havent used yet are the BarryM Gelly hi-shine nail polishes.
I got a neon Orange called Papaya in number 13 (or 312?) and a bluey-purple called Prickly Pear in number 6 (or 311?). These were £3.99 each.
The 2 normal nail polishes that I got were a pastel purple called Berry Ice Cream in 308 (or 314?) and a baby pastel pink called Strawberry Ice Cream in 309 (or 302) these were £2.99 each.
I hate to confuse you with the numbers but it seems that BarryM nail varnishes have 2 sets of numbers??!!?? Please comment if you figure it out :).

Okay, basically I am always watching Zoella and I heard sooo many beauty gurus have obsessed over the Revlon Lip Butters. Sadly at boots I dont think I could find any? Or if I did I just didnt want one. I had also heard about though. The Maybelline lipsticks. I bought one in colour 148 Summer Pink and I love it. It isn't a bright as I think I've said sooo many times I dont suit bright lipsticks but never the less its beautiful and I love it :D.

The final Item I bought in boots (apart from my 2 galaxy bars and a sprite) is a Rimmel London Match Perfection Ultra Creamy Compact Powder in 103 True Ivory
Im in love with this because it comes with the powder, on the back a mirror and underneathe a sponge. The sponge is sooo soft its literally unbelievable. I think all these products werebpretty cheap but hell they add up!!!

Finally I got a infinity scarf from Tesco for £5 and a storage box from dunelmill for... 87p!!! Yeah I know, im not a cheap sake but I do love a good bargin. <3
So I think thats about it? Thanks for reading.

P.S. I will be doing a video soon :)

Excited for spring and summer

There are lots of things to look forward for in spring and summer as there are things you can get away with that you cant in winter.
For example:
Shorts, skirts and dresses.
Of course in winter if your heart desires you can wear skirts and shorts. And alot of people wear dresses for partys and in general but you don't really wear themfor going out.
I love all those stuff and I have about 10 billion of them. I barley have any winter clothes but thats because I don't like winter. The only thing exciting is Christmas and for my brother, my brothers birthday.

Next is bright nail polish
Of course you can wear bright nail varnish whenever you like but I find it doesn't fit the season. I love bright pinks greens etc and I feel that spring and summer are the perfects times to wear them.

Okay so I am in love with dipdyed hair.
I think the main reason people dye their hair in summer is because you can do it in the summer holiday and be safe from getting told off at school also bright coloured hair just suit perfectly for Summer. I am hoping to dye my hair blonde completely this summer but we'll have to see as my father doesnt approve.

So there are 3 things I am looking forward to this summer.
Tell me yours?

Rimmel London Match Perfect Foundation

Quite recently I went into town with a friend and we bought a few make-up products and clothes.
I bought a dress, A foundation and 3 MUA Lipsticks.
I had wanted the foundation for ages because if you read my other blog I created a  Rimmel London wishlist and I have only bought 2 products from it so far. This is of course the foundation and the Wake Me Up Concealer.

So I have tried this for at least a week now and I wanted to do my opinion on it.
The foundation itself looks very nice and I have to say that the amount you want is controlable, so you don't usually get out too much.

I'd say that It doesn't cover up a great lot but it covers enough after using concealer and other products. Sometimes I think I'm putting foundation on wrong because people on YouTube look on much more... Better covered? I don't really know how to say it but other people just apply foundation better than me in other word.

I am aware this has been a small post but I sometimes I have to think hard about what to post about. And I don't always have a lot of ideas.

Anywayz I hope this helped and thanks for reading :) xx

Lipstick VS Lipstick: Which one will win.

As you may know, I have LOADS of Lipsticks and I wanted to try them out and say which one is my favourite and why. I have chosen:
Estee Lauder All-Day Lipstick in Mocha Pink 3A.
Luna Cosmetics Lipstick in 2
Collection 2000 Cream Puff in Cotton Candy 1. &
MUA Lipstick in Lipstick Shade 4

1. Estee Lauder All-Day Lipstick in Mocha Pink 3A
So this lipstick really does stick to its name and lasts all day. The main problem is though it is a nude orange. I have figured I don't suit orange. Luckily I haven't been out today so nobody has seen me in this interesting shade. I think for people that like the colour orange it is okay but I really don't think I like it on me. Zoella for example, will probably suit this colour and seen as inpt lasts all day it is a good lipstick but I think the shade ruins it for me.

2. Luna Cosmetics Lipstick in 2.
The next 3 colours are all pink and this is mainly because pink is one of the only colours I wear. Pink suits me quite well but I have to rule myself out from a lot of colours because it seems to be the only one. When I go out to the shops I always love bright and beautiful colours but they don't suit me which I find sooo disappointing. But anyway I love this pink because although it doesn't last all day but it does last a good while and I really love that colour. It comes on quite easily and shows up well enough.

3. Collection 2000 Cream Puff in Cotton Candy 1
Now, can I just say I loved this literally when I saw it. I borrowed it ;) from my mums make up draw (seriously dont tell her) and now I use it loads. I love this because it is exactly like lipstick in liquid form and it isnt like lipgloss where it is slippy and shiny. Its everything a lipstick is. Just designed like a lipgloss. The colour is very nice but I cant really describe it. Personally, I thought that being called Cotton Candy it would be a lighter brighter pink but I am happy its not as I dont suit brights.
I love it sooo much and I defenetly would reccomend it but it depends how old it is because I don't think they sell it anymore.

4. MUA Lipstick in Lipstick Shade 4
Okay so I am so in love with this because not only is it dam right beautiful, its really cheap!!
I bought this lipstick from superdrug for £1!! It looks like a very bright colour but on the lips it doesn't come out as bright as it seems which helps me quite a bit. The problem though with MUA Lipsticks is that they only last about an hour and then you may as well of not put any one. But while it lasts the pink is beautiful and I love it.

Well, I think my favourite has to be my Luna Cosmetics lipstick but I love them all. Well, I dunno about the first one :/

Debenhams: Expensive Makeup Brands

I have been looking for a place that sells expensive make-up brands for ages because you don't find MAC Stores in Preston do you? So I was looking around on google searching for places and I am not too sure how I got there but I found myself on the Debenhams website.

At Debenhams they have literally everything Urban Decay, MAC, Estee Lauder and more.
Sadly though, the Debenhams in Preston don't actually sell MAC but they do sell the others. However, I am hoping they do delivery but I suppose if I am getting delivery I may aswell order from the MAC Website.

So I know this is only a small post but I was only aware until quite recently and I wanted you to be aware too;)xxx

Rating Straightners

So I am wanting to buy some new straigheners very soon and I wanted to do research before I bought any because I only wanted the best. This was mainly because the straighteners I am using at the moment are crap :/. I'm going to rate and review 3 hair straightener brands so that you can know what I personally think is best.

1. Andrew Collinge Straighteners.
So I am starting off on a disappointing bad note. These are the straighteners I use, I am not sure if their is a certain one but they are by the hairstylist. So the reason I don't like them is because they don't make your hair straight. Which I am annoyed about if I'm being totally honest because thats what they are made for. They probably make your hair half average but not good enough for me and even when it does, it only lasts about 1 hour and then thats it. Obviously I use hairspray but I'm ending up using the whole can. I give it a 2/5.


2. GHD IV Styler.
Ok, so lets be honest. Everybody loves these straighteners. But they defentetly arn't my favourite. I don't have anything against these straighteners at all because 2 of my friends own GHDs and they are actually quite good. I don't really have any faults with them either but the main reason they arn't my favourite is because I know some that are better and I know I'm going to buy.
The ones I've tried probably arn't the Iv Styler straigheners but I'm taking a wild guess because I don't have a clue. Anyways I am giving GHDs in general a 4 and 1/2 out of 5.

3. Nicky Clarke DesiRED Straighteners
So this is what my friend has and officially the straighteners I am dying for. My mum said she would buy me them and I am going to be soo happy when she does because straight away I will be using them. No doubt, my mum will be borrowing them off me but thats ok as she is the one paying for them. I love these straighteners because in the morning my hair is wavy and I have thick hair. I don't suit my hair down at all mainly because its wavy, curlyih etc. etc. but I don't feel I need to go on any longer because these are ultimately my favourite straighteners and I give these 5/5.

Thank you for reading

Non-Expensive Spring Dresses

I love dresses but I dont always get to wear them. On Saturday I bought a dress that was demin pattern and on the back it is lace to about before my belly button but on the back and then the demin pattern the rest of the way down. It sound complicated but I reckon its gorgeous. Plus it was only £10 from Primark. Sadly, Primark doesn't have a website so any dresses from that shop I won't be putting on my blog as thats how I research products and clothes. Through the internet.

1. Pink Bandeau Belted Maxi Dress.
This dress is sooo beautiful <3. I love Maxi dresses but I personally don't own any. I would love to but I don't. Now it should be begining to get to the right weather (although in England it isn't very likley) I will probably buy some.
So this dress is £16.99 which isn't cheap but not expenive. It depends on the price range you spend on clothes and your personal opinion on the quality of the dress as not actually owning it. I wouldn't know. However, I think I would defenetly would buy it as soon as I can as I jut love the look of it and It is something that when I have any money I can afford.


2. Blue Vanilla Pink Abtstract Lace Dress
So this dress from me can be considered expensive but I know if I save up for 2 weeks or maybe jut over it can be classed as affordable. I guess its just I dont always like to go for expensive stuff and try to find cheaper options but dresses I still like. I quite like the pattern on this dress because the pattern is vintage. Or I think it is anyway because whatever it is I still like it. I love huge ranges of dresses and I would really hope to buy this one. If I can afford to do so ;/

Ok so these are 2 of my favourite spring dresses and I would loved to do more if you like it :) I would like to say though. I am not a fan of skater dressed because they make you look bigger than you are. But a girl I hate wore one and It made her look big so no joke but thank you fashion world :D
I do LOVE the skater skirts though so you should go and check it out. Both dresses are from New Look and there are many more beautiful clothes to look through x

BBOTM/ Beauty bargin of the month.

So as you know it did use to be beauty bargin of the week. But I won't be doing this everyweek because I really don't have time.

So anyway all my beauty bargins are drugstore and I usually look on the Superdrug and Boots website. So here is the bargin I found today:

MUA Lipsticks - £1.00 each.
Ok so this weekend I bought 3 lipsticks. All of them were MUA.
I really love these lipsticks. £1.00!!! Yeye I know exactly.
I bought 3 as well as a foundation and I am COMPLETELY inlove with the colour I bought.
There was a nude red, a nude brown and a very bright pink.
As you might know, I don't suit bright colours but on your lips the colour isn't as bright as it seems.
Which is why the bright pink is my favourite. Anywayz with nearly every product there is a fault.
It doesn't last long because by atleast an hour later there is no colour left on your lips. Its like it dissolves. Which is why it isn't good for parties or anything all day. However I love it while it lasts and yeh I think for only £1 from the superdrug website and instore. It is well worth the price.

GO BUY IT NOW ;D.

3 Top Beauty Tips

Tips are very important in beauty because there are certain ways to do things to achieve healthy skin and make yourself more beautiful than you already are.

1. So this step was actually from a magazine. I know this step myself obviously but It is kind of like a quote from Jessica Raine from Call The Midwife as it was a beauty interview with her.
She said. "Take your make-up off before you go to bed and moisturise".
This is an obvious one and everybody practically knows it but I still dont follow it.
I do wash my makeup off before I go to bed if I remember but I usually forget. This can cause spots and blemishes. Which is why following this step will defenetly benefit you.


2. This is more of a reminder than a tip but I want to tell you that spot creams and treatments don't always work. You can try getting a prescription from your local docters but if your spots arn't that bad you shouldn't worry about it. Spots happen to everybody and especially around the teenage age. Its natural and sometimes cant be helped. Using drugstore spot creams is just putting chemicals into your skin without a garaunteed chance of them working. Prescribing from your docter is a better option.

3. Okay so my final step is relax more often.
To look beautiful you have to be happy and relaxing is a way to do so.
It can be hard work because often we look at ourselves in the mirror and don't like what we see. So we try our hardest to be what we call 'Perfect' but sometimes we need to take a chill and think of nothing. Including all the worries you have etc. Forget them. Because worrying about random pieces of crap will get you nowhere. Chill out for a bit and just think to yourselves. If people dont like what they see then they know where to stick it because this is me. Deal with it.

So these are 3 important steps to looking and feeling beautiful. Don't care what over people think of you! Because if they don't like it then tough. What are they gonna do about it?
