~Best and Worst~

Best and worst products:

June 2011! 

First off, the very best of the best this month has to be:

Dream Matte Mousse-Porcelain 005.

 

HAS CHANGED MY LIFE. This foundation is soft and creamy and gives me a flawless look in basically 20 seconds. It’s a very good foundation for giving a light look, with full coverage. Not the best summer foundation, as it will melt and fall from your face! But, I’m still going to use it, as I live in England ;)
 

 2True Lipgloss in No.7. 

BEAUTIFUL. Perfect. Cheap. Easy. Such a simple staple for summer: a coral lip gloss. It magically transforms any look into a summery pretty look. I’ve been using this non-stop this month! Definitely a must have!

No7 2 shadow pallette (name unknown)

Don’t know if you can still get this, but for me this has been the easiest thing to wear on my eyes everyday, good for exams- when you’re only going to school for one hour ( LIKE ME ew) and just everyday Smokey eye J Such easy simple shades. 

Baby Benefit Posie tint

Well if you didn’t already know, Glamour magazine are giving away mini benefit products! So cool! I snapped up posie tint, but am now on the look out for the high beam ;) I love this stain for my lips, because its so easy to wear!

Now, the products that have sucked hugely this month!  

  

Accessorize palette, (don’t know the actual name was a gift)

 This is just such an unwearable palette, I’ve tried multiple times to incorporate this into my everyday look because the shadows are gorgeous, but I just cant :(    help!

Natural Collection Lipstick in: Candy Mist.

SO SHEER! Is all I can say, barely any pigment, which is surprising because the other natural collection lipstick I have is extremely pigmented, this one just is very disappointing :(

That sums that up!

I hope you are all well and having a nice start to the summer.

I only have 2 exams left now! Have already done 7, SO TIRED OF REVISION!

OH MY. IT'S MAY.

Seriously what's happening?!

Anywho, i was out with my friends yesterday in Oxford Street in London, and i picked up a few things, and i thought i'd share them with you:)

These two tops were only £3.99 each! And they had more fun patterns too:)

They are cropped and loose fitting, so they are very cute, i got them in a size up so they'd be even more baggy!

(From H&M)

Gorgeous white shorts, perfect for summer! Only £7.99. 

 (From H&M)

A lovely black maxi dress, it does tie under the bust so it gives you some shape! Lovely for only £7.99.

 (From H&M)

Ring from Clair's Accesories, it says: Think of a wonderful thought (on the outside) and on the inside: Believe in yourself!

So cute and only £4!

Good old chapstick from Boots, £1.01.

Oyster Card, and card holder from H&M, only £1.99. And it's this beautiful neon orange, so pretty for summer!

A beautiful hot pink beach bag from H&M, only £3.99, bit of a funny buy, but i strangely love it! 

Wasn't a huge shop, but i got a few key items that i had wanted for a while like the black maxi and white shorts!

Hope you're having a lovely week!

Hugs, Danielle xo

This month was simple really, i had been obviously using the same products again and again!

I didn't include any nail polishes, because for me that's a whole other post:)

All the products this month: 

Lip Products:

• Hue Lipstick from MAC- I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS! Seriously the best nude colour for my complexion, a total love. 
• Sally Hansen Lip Inflation in Sheer Pink- A real gloopy product but really shiny and glossy, and really nice over a nude colour!
• Natural Collection Juicy Lips in Toffee Cream- Such a pretty goldy shimmery colour, really nice alone or over hue!
• "I love.. strawberries & milkshake" Lip Balm- So pretty and pink, it's lovely by itself for a natural look.

 Eye Products:

• GOSH eyeliner in Black Ink- Again i have mentioned this! It's just so perfect and black, and lasts all day! A total must for me. 
• Rimmer Lash Accelerator, and No7 Intense Volume Mascaras- Perfect combo of the two give me big full lashes, which i always aim to achieve, really nice!
• MAC eyeshadows in Shroom & All that glitters- Shroom is just perfect alone all over the lid, and all that glitters always give my eyes a sparkle, that make me seem more awake, and gives a subtle definition which i love!
• MUA eyeshadow in shade 17- This matte taupe colour gives a nice natural look when worn all over the lid alone, and this is the one i wear most days for school.

Face Products:

• (Obviously) Maybelline super stay foundation- I just did a rave review post on this! So that explains itt. 
• Natural Collection cover up stick in fair 1- really creamy and a great base on the eyes too.
• Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer- Beautiful job at covering dark circles and spots, really good coverage. 
• Natural Collection blush in Pink Cloud- THE PERFECT COLOUR FOR MY CHEEKS. It's such a pretty natural colour that makes me look really glowy and fresh.

Skin care:

•  Mud Therapy, Deep Cleansing mud mask- this mask has been really helping my skin even out, and feel softer and better than ever! I've been loving this really thick, green! mask, that just works wonders for my skin!

 Swatches!

I hope you're having a beautiful week!

~Maybelline Super Stay 24h Foundation!~

~Maybelline Super Stay 24h Foundation!~

Rave review timee.

25/04/11

Oh my gosh, i cannot say enough good things about this foundation!

The bottle claims that: 

Non-transfer, 24hour makeup, spf19, resists heat & humidity, sweat resistant, flexible all day comfort, oil free!

All of these claims are loading alot of pressure onto this foundation to deliver.

I found that it:

• lasts all day.
• was lightweight, and flexible, and did bring all day comfort.
• I didn't break out from it, so I'm guessing it is oil free.
• It did seem to resist the heat and humidity, because its been very warm in england lately, that i needed a foundation to stand up against it, and it proved worthy.
• Also it was sweat resistant. 
• The 24hour tag line, is maybe a bit extreme, certainly 8/10hours, but no way could it last a whole day literally.
• And it did transfer a little, but not heavily!

 Heres a horrible picture of me wearing it!

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

 

It seriously did even out my skin tone, and gave me a warm glow which meant i didn't have to wear bronzer! (Result!)

Heres the product: 

 It retails attt: £8:99

Which I think is a good price for such a lovely foundation!

And heres a quick swatch! Try and spot the foundation ;)

 See how it airbrushes my skin?

Anyway i really love this product and had to share!

I hope you are having a lovely bank holiday weekend!

~Nails of the day (again!)~

~Another Nails of the day~

18/04/11

I have been so experimental with my nails lately and today was no different! 

I decided on this crazy look!

How i did this AMAZING look?! : 

1. Painted the whole nail with 2 thin coats of the lilac shade. (Best to keep the coats thin so that after all the pink and black, it doesn't get too thick and prone to big chips! )
2. Then get a cocktail stick and dab on random, smallish ,spots of the pink all over the nail.
3. Then get a differnt cocktail stick and draw tiny black lines around the spots of pink, do not completely circle them just two lines either side.
4. Then just do random black splodges over the nail to fill gaps, keeping them soft, no sharp lines!
5. Then just cover the nail in a clear coat, and VOILA! You are done :)

I am obsessed with this nail look, and can't wait to do this in different colours.

You can do this using any colours: green&blue, gold&silver!

Be creative lovelies! 

Hugs, Danielle xo

So i decided to do something a bit more funky because i was simply bored of one tone shades or french tips on my nails.

So i went with Polka dots!

It got a bit messed up but for a quick 5 min job, not bad!

I think it looks pretty and crazy!

The colours i used was:

Pink Flamingo 305, from BarryM.

and French white 103, from Collection 2000.

All found at superdrug/boots:) 

All i did was cover the whole nail in pink flamingo and then used a cocktail stick to dot some white onto the nails,to create a funky dotty pattern! 

Enjoy :) 

Have a lovely Monday!

Hugs, Danielle xo
