APRIL: Beauty pick of the month


I am so excited to be sharing these beauty picks with you! I have always been envious of every woman out there with flawless airbrushed looking skin! But I think I have finally cracked it with these beautiful products!


So here are my fab five to flawless skin


1) Kat Von D lock-it tattoo foundation
- I bought this whilst in America, as far as I know its pretty hard to get hold of in the UK, I know Sephora ships to the UK and has a few UK stores that they sell it at. If you know anywhere else you must let me know, I would be forever grateful!!! This foundation is unbelievable! I only use one pump which is the size of a pea, its coverage is amazing. Most foundations I layer up but with this I only use one. It is so lightweight and spreads great on the skin too. Although I found using my fingers was best as using a brush seemed to change the look on my skin and you could see the brush marks.

2) Nars radiant creamy concealer £22 Buy here - I almost cried at spending this amount on a concealer, its not something I have ever got on on with or really ever used. But this has definitely changed my opinion! NO JOKE! if you have never used concealer before, try this one it is life changing!! I bought this in the lightest shade they sold (which was only one shade under my usual colour). It is so great for use under my eyes to tackle my serious bag problem (shift workers you will understand!!). But also fantastic for use as a brightener (under your brows, under eyes, lip ridge ect.)


3) Too faced the secret to no make-up make-up £31 Buy here - Again I bought this product in America, I think they must have different packaging for the ones sold in the UK and the US, as the one on the Debenhams site has a different name and package but the same products? But wow, this product is so pretty! It comes with a little pull out sheet with 3 looks on for you to try! I tell you, this kit has taught me to; contour, highlight, conceal, brighten in all the correct places, not only that it has shown me different ways of doing it to achieve different looks. It is so amazing! I cannot wait to try the look with all my other products and keep on experimenting. I will be looking into there other palettes! I am hooked!

4) Benefit high beam £19.50 Buy here High beams is a pink liquid highlighter. Its packed in a cute nail polish shaped bottle. The application is so easy, simply swipe on where you want the product and dap with your finger until blended! Such a great cheekbone highlighter and the bottle lasts for ages!!! Just be careful to use a light hand whilst dabbing on the product or else you will swipe your make-up underneath off.


5) Make-up forever HD powder £25.95 Buy here - I have never used a powder so leight weight before! Most powders I can see sitting on my skin but there is no sign of this one! Its fab and lasts all day, and I only use one face brush dabble worth of powder. It gives my face such a lovely matte, smooth and airbrush look. Definitely worth the money.

What are your favourites this month?
Hope you enjoyed reading

Beauty organisng on a budget


So today I organised all of my makeup collection and thought I would share it with you!! I have several pieces of acrylic storage; now I don't know about you guys but I think they are extremely expensive and cannot afford to spend hundreds on it! So I done loads of hunting and managed to get all of my storage for less than £75!!!
The little pots are actually tealight holders that I got for £2 each in wilkos, you can't see it very great in the photo but they have cute little love hearts on them
The lipstick holder which holds up to 24 normal sized lipsticks I got for £1.70!!!! You can find it HERE. The little 3 set of drawers are made by a brand called OSCO they are very sturdy and the drawers slide in and out so smooth. This is a very small set and only just fits in long lipglosses. This cost me £14 you can find it HERE. My large drawers I actually picked up for £50 off ebay HERE. It has 5 large drawers. I was very dubious buying this off ebay but OMG, I am sooooo happy I purchased this! It holds so many products and looks really snazzy. I also use more of my make-up products now as I can see them easier. The only downside to them is that a few of my products don't fit as the drawers aren't deep enough, but for the price it is an absolute steal! Anyone thinking about purchasing one! do it you will not regret it!!!


And this is what they look like full :).

For all the rest of my products I simply used old boxes and baskets that filled up my drawer, and put different items in each compartment. Most of these boxes are from beauty boxes which I shall be writing more on shortly :) because I love them! This has just helped me to keep everything organised and in place so I can see everything nice and easy! I also am really bad and just throw stuff in a drawer and letting all the rubbish pile up and I forget everything I have. This so far has actually stoped me from my horrid habbit HORRAY!!!

Happy shopping and organising!, Don't forget to show me your photos!

Finally!! I have been on at myself for over a year to start up a blog! This evening I finally embraced the idea and set one up! I now have a lovely little place to store all my pretty pictures and thoughts and can hopefully share the with a couple of lovely readers. :) Sorry for how basic it is right now, I am trying to get the knack of it, hopefully shouldn't take too long.

Hopefully I get the hang of this shortly and will be going post mad soon!!!
