My Beauty Wishlist ♥

Hey beauties! xoxo 

Today I thought I'd share with you 'My Beauty Wishlist'. This will consist of a range of different beauty products I have been wanting for a long time and ones I'd love to receive for Christmas! These products will range from makeup, skincare, haircare and more. 

I have put together eight beauty products that I would love to receive as a gift or purchase myself as a treat for Christmas. These include:

- Real Techniques Core Collection 
- Dior Crème De Rose Lip Balm
- Glam Glow Mud Mask 
- Bioderma
- Butter London Nail Polish 
- Clinique Chubby Stick
- Nuxe Reve de Miel 
- Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler 



Real Techniques Core Collection

 I absolutely adore this collection from Real Techniques. It's just the perfect set for any female. Containing four coverage essentials; detailer brush, pointed foundation brush, buffing brush and a contour brush. This is the must have collection when it comes to applying facial products! 



Dior Crème De Rose Lip Balm

This lip balm is superb for any girl wanted a bit of luxury in her life! With its creamy and indulgent texture this balm glides smoothly onto the lips providing long lasting nourishment and hydration! A must have winter essential in my eyes!



Glam Glow Mud Mask

After trying the sample size of this mask I have been wanting to purchase the full size for quite some time now! Absolutely nothing compares to the performance of this mask! This works tremendously in removing all impurities and build up caused by cosmetics, grease, oil and dirt off the face. Leaving your skin feeling fresh, deep cleaned and revitalised. 



Bioderma

Bioderma will always be on my wishlists. I will never stop loving this cleanser/ toner as its so gentle on the skin. Perfect for all skin types, this works wonders in abolishing any dirt, grease or cosmetic build up on the face revealing a smooth, clean and revitalised complexion without the tight feeling afterwards!

Butter London Nail Polish 

I have always wanted to try a nail lacquer from Butter London. But at £14.00 a bottle these do not come cheap! I love how opaque all of their nail varnish's are, offering the perfect amount of colour in just one coat! 

Clinique Chubby Stick

Oh yes! The 'Clinique Chubby Stick', the lip crayon of all lip crayons! Offering not only a fantastic colour pay off but also terrific hydration for the lips! 

Nuxe Reve de Miel

I also really want to try this lip balm by 'Nuxe' not only does not consistency look divine but the performance is phenomenal providing the lips with long lasting moisture revealing a beautifully smooth canvas for lip product application. 

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler 

This eyelash curler is truly outstanding! In my opinion I would say these are one of the best on the market. Offering a perfect curl to the lashes that lasts all day! 

Thank you for reading

Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick Review: Fuchsia Flash ♥

Hey everyone! xoxo

Today I will be reviewing one of the 'Maybelline Colorsensational Lipsticks'. I recently received this in the mail as I had won this limited edition lipstick in a competition. So lets get into it.

I won the 'Mollie Kind Limited Edition Lipstick' in the shade '902 Fuchsia Flash'.

Description: I would describe the 'Maybelline Colorsensational lipstick' as an intensely rich lip colour with nourishing extracts of honey nectar. 

Colour Pay off: The colour pay off of this lipstick is so intense and so vibrant that it will brighten up any complexion. This colour is a bright pink shade with blue undertones. 

Lasting power: Like all of the 'Maybelline Colorsensational Lipsticks' the lasting power is phenomenal. This lipstick will last all day on the lips and will still look as vibrant at the end of the day. This lipstick is definitely a long lasting lipstick.  

Effect on the lips: When first applied this lipstick glides on so smoothly and effortlessly, due to being enriched with honey nectar this lipstick not only gives off the most gorgeous colour but also adds nourishment and moisture to the lips. When dry this lipstick still feels as velvety smooth as it did when first applied, but this will not slide off the lips at all. 

Thank you for reading

Veil Cover Cream Review ♥

Hey beauties! xoxo

In today's blog post I will be reviewing the 'Veil Cover Cream' by 'Thomas Blake'. If any of you are unfamiliar with 'Veil Cosmetic Camouflage', they are the best camouflage makeup on the market and is effective in hiding the discolouration of birthmarks, Vitiligo (white patches), Rosacea (redness), acne scars, burn scars, broken or varicose veins. dark circles under the eyes, temporary bruising after surgery, age spots and unwanted tattoos.  

 Before I start I'd just like to explain to you all a bit about 'Veil Cover Cream'. It was first created by Mr Thomas Blake and is used to cover a huge range of skin blemishes quickly, easily and safely. Veil is used comprehensively in hospital dermatology, camouflage clinics, beauty salons and at home. 

I received the 'Veil Cover Cream Light/ Medium Sample Kit' which comes with a small leaflet, a sample of the translucent finishing powder and 21 light - medium shades. These include:

- White 
- Wheat
- Natural-light 
- Vanilla
- Cream
- Beige
- Oyster
- Medium
- Honey
- Natural
- Natural-medium
- Biscuit
- Natural Tan
- Peach
- Tan
- Dark
- Suntan
- No.3
- Almond
- Suede
- Latte



Having used products very similar to this, I was really intrigued by how well this product would perform and if it would cover more efficiently and evenly than the other brands I have used in the past. Now having tried and tested this brand I can honestly say I really do love the amount of coverage that can come out of such a small amount. This makeup has covered my imperfections and blemishes perfectly, creating a flawless makeup base. What I love about 'Veil Cover Cream' is that in can be used as an everyday foundation as well as a concealer and works really well with other products too. 



Performance: I love how well the 'Veil Cover Cream' has performed on my skin. It glides on so effortlessly and sinks smoothly into the skin. It's easily blendable and can be built up for further coverage. 

Coverage: The coverage of this cream is phenomenal! It covers tremendously well revealing a smooth, seamless complexion without clogging the pores. 

Lasting Power: The lasting power of the cover cream is brilliant. It lasts all day and stays put! It doesn't slide off the face and does not transfer onto clothing either. 

Texture: When first applied the texture is smooth and creamy, not greasy and not too thick either. It does not immediately set of the face, making it easier to work with. When dry it appears natural and looks almost skin like.  

Feel on the skin: I would say the feel on the skin is light, but you know you have makeup on. It's not heavy on the skin, weighing it down at all. But you can feel that you have a bit of makeup on. But feels ever so natural.

Appearance: 'Veil Cover Cream' looks flawless on the skin. Even up close this cream in undetectable on the skin. Although it provides very high coverage it just looks so natural and not cakey at all.

Sweater Weather Tag

Hey guys! xoxo

Oh yes, today I will be coming at you with another tag. This tag really caught my eye as its another autumnal themed one and as you know I adore the fall! The questions are unique and different too, so I'd thought I'd share with you my take on the 'Sweater Weather Tag'. 

Q: Favourite candle scent?

A: I always find candle questions so hard to answer as I just love way too many scents from different brands. But my current candle favourite now would have to be 'Cranapple Punch' by 'Woodwick'. I absolutely love how this smells and although its part of their Christmas collection I think its perfect to this time of year as it just sets that autumnal mood and gets you in the spirit for the festive season. It's just such a lovely scent and gives off an amazing throw to fill the whole room. 



Q: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?

A: I love drinking all three, seeming as I drink tea every single day. I have to say for this time of year I love making hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream and having it in a cute festive mug to just set the mood and make me feel all warm and cozy inside.

.
Q: What's the best fall memory you have?

A: I'd have to say the best fall memory for me would have to be evening shopping. I absolutely love going shopping when its dark during the fall time, all wrapped up warm and seeing all the pretty lights out and about around town. I just love that feeling especially nearer Christmas time when all the shops are full of festive goodies!



Q: Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner?

A: As I have mentioned in my previous posts I love dark lips! Being a huge fan of more plum & berry lip colours there's nothing more exciting for me than when fall comes around as I get to wear all of my favourite lipsticks!



Q: What do you want to be for Halloween?

A: Well as Halloween has now passed and I didn't really do much except have a little get together. I didn't really dress up, but I think if I was to wear a costume I'd love to be a 1920's/ 1930's movie star. As I just love that era and the female film stars were gorgeous!




Q: Favourite Thanksgiving food?

A: As we don't celebrate thanksgiving here in the UK I can't really answer this question. But I'd say one of my favourite autumn/ winter foods to have would have to be cinnamon rolls. I love these as they just scream fall with a nice hot drink they can improve any day!



Q: Hats or scarves?

A: For me it has to be scarves. I wear scarves every single day during fall/ winter. I just love how they instantly accessorize any outfit whilst keeping you warm! 




Q: Most worn sweater?

A: My most worn sweater would have to be my black one with lace panels on the back. 



Q: Football games or jumping in leaf piles?

A: Definitely jumping in leaf piles, although I've never actually done it before its got to be more fun than a football game, right?



Q: Skinny jeans or leggings?

A: Definitely leggings, not only are they super comfortable but are also incredibly versatile and can be worn with just about anything. 



Q: Combat boots or uggs?

A: Combat boots all the way, I absolutely love combat boots are wear them all year round. 



Q: What's your number 1 favourite thing about fall?

A: As I love nearly everything about fall this was difficult. But my favourite thing would have to be those cold, dark nights, when your all wrapped up indoors with your pj's on, a hot drink, snuggled up in a blanket with a candle burning whilst watching your favourite show. So basically a cozy night in!

Wardrobe Essentials ♥

Hey guys! xoxo

I will be sharing my 'Wardrobe Essentials' with you all today. I really wanted to do a post like this as I feel I'd like to let you guys know what I think every women should have in their closet. The items will range from basics to more formal or casual wear but are all staples for your wardrobe!

Top

Black Blazer

The Black Blazer is an essential for any women's wardrobe as this can not only be dressed up for work wear or interviews with a black pencil skirt and black pumps but can also be dressed down for a more casual out on the town look paired with jeans and a plain white t-shirt.   

White Shirt

The White Shirt should always appear in a women's wardrobe as this item of clothing is so versatile and can be worn to formal occasions, interviews or work. This can be also used for lounge wear over underwear or casual wear paired with jeans. 


Little Black Dress

Every female should have at least one LBD in their closet as you never know when you're going to need to pull it out. This can be worn to special events, on dates and work parties.  

Classic Trench Coat

The classic Trench Coat can come in a variety of different colours. These are superb for not only autumn/winter but for those breezy spring days. Can be worn formally or just for every day wear. 

Plain White T-Shirt

The White T-Shirt is a must for any woman. The 'weekend shirt' can be worn for everyday wear, for shopping or for running errands. For a more 'chic' look this can be paired with blue jeans, a black blazer and black heels. or just paired with jeans for a more laid back look.  

Camisoles

You can never go wrong with Camisoles, these can be worn under jumpers or on their own to just add a pop of colour. Nude and white cami's can be worn under sheer tops as a cover up too. 

Leather Jacket 

A quality Leather Jacket should be another wardrobe essential as you can never go wrong with a bit of leather, this can dress up any outfit and just add an extra bit of edge and flair too.

Cardigan 

Cardigans are great to just throw over any outfit whilst adding an extra bit of dimension. 

Bottom

Black Leggings

Black Leggings are an absolute must have. These are spectacular to wear with anything from knitwear to shirts and blouses. They'll go with anything and are super comfortable. They can be worn for lounge/casual wear or everyday wear.  

Black Trousers

The ever so famous Black Trousers. Essential for formal wear, job interviews and work. These can also be paired with a plain t-shirt and blazer for a more casual yet classy look. 


Knee Length Black Skirt

Another must have for women. You can never go wrong with a black pencil/tube skirt. Great for work wear and formal events.

Blue Jeans

Blue Jeans are a definite must these are excellent to wear for casual use. Paired with a plain t shirt for everyday use, these can also be dressed up with a blazer or leather jacket, tucked into combat boots or paired with a stunning stiletto heel. 

Shoes

Black Pumps

The classic Black Pumps are an excellent choice for work and play. Not only can these babies be worn with suits, pencil skirts and dresses but can also be worn with leggings and jeans to add an elegant touch to any item of clothing. 

Nude Heels

Nude heels are great to wear with anything and everything. They look suburb when wearing brighter colours as they just balance the outfit out, making it easier on the eye with no clashing! 

Accesories

Large Staple Bag

A Large Staple Bag is definitely an everyday essential. Getting one in a bright colour can make any outfit pop. Blacks and nudes can also be used for work.
