I gave my sis a make over :D...

...Not that she needed it! But she wanted one so we went make up shopping and I showed her some pretty cool products not that I'm an expert but I've read up on enough to know whats crap and whats decent lol

What shop did we hit? Superdrug of course! My favourite!

Okay this is my sis :D (left) natural beauty....



and this is what we picked up!


 Maybelline FIT Foundation in shade 355, this stuff is awesome! Great coverage and blends to both our skin tones when they are slightly different! (I picked up one too heehee)


We love Sleek! This is their Suede Effect pressed powder, awesome but can look too cakey if you apply too much



If you saw my last post you will see I have this next product too! This one is in the slightly darker shade and is so awesome! It's the corrector and concealer palette by Sleek (again lol), great for under your eyes and highlighting your brows (blend well as it is quite thick)

Also by Sleek is a product from their Blush By 3 Collection which is incredible! The blushes are so pigmented and come out amazing! You have to watch how much colour you use though, for obvious reasons  haha so it's best to start light and build up the colour. 





 Next up was a brown eye brow pencil by MUA, only £1!


This product is epic! Its MUA's Gel liner and is only £3 creates a gorgeous dark line doesn't fade much at all!

And some little starter brushes , the left set are some cheap ones from Wilkinsons and the right is a blending brush from Superdrug

Before!

After! (left)

 Finished look for her 21st birthday!


Doesn't she look pretty! :')

Recent Purchases & Randomness ❤

(All photos have been taken by me)
Haven't been on here in a longgg time! For a mix of reasons, mainly not having internet in my uni house -___-  (Thanks BT) and trying to complete my essays! But as I'm home for the holidays I thought I'd try and write a bit more.

This post is on bits and bobs I've picked up recently and how much I'm loving them...or not much so!

First up is a great lip gloss my sister picked up for me in Kiko Cosmetics at Westfield, Stratford. It is an extra volume, plumping and moisturising gloss, a gorgeous pink colour, slightly shimmery and totally moisturising! I hate when you put lip gloss on and it feels like it melts away in two seconds but this stays for ages and leaves no nasty residue. It retails for £6.90 on the website but in the shop it was only £3! Bargain!





The next couple of things I picked up in Canterbury when browsing the shops after uni....

 The below photos are of the Corrector and Concealer Palette from Sleek which I bought for around £7 in Superdrug and is so worth it because I absolutely rinse it haha! I use it pretty much everyday, It's so good for covering dark circles and highlighting your eyebrows! 
The lighter shade in the first circle is the corrector, the middle is concealer and the last is a setting powder.The only problem is with the concealer (middle circle) you have to blend it well as it is thick and if you don't you will look odd......trust me lol




(Left to right: Corrector, Concealer, Setting Powder)
Next up is Pout Paint also by Sleek!
Finally bought one, I originally wanted the bright red one called Pin Up but my local didn't have them in stock at the time :( So I bought my next favourite...Minx!

They retail for £4.99 and are so pretty! They only come in 8ml tubes but last for ages as they are so thick and the tiniest dot creates the craziest amount of colour!
Collect all 11 shades and mix them to make new colours!! Lots of  fun

They apply like a lip GLOSS, have the colour of a lip STICK and have the staying power of a lip STAIN! I must admit I don't use it often as my lips are quite dry and cracks sometimes show :'( (any remedies would be so helpful :D



See the dry bit? *sigh* :(


I also reaaaaaaallly wanted a burgundy nail polish because it was around the time where burgundy was EVERY WHERE lol you know what I mean, I was also obsessed with the colour so I scoured Superdrug for a pretty shade and came up with this...Collection 2000 Lasting Colour 10 Day Wear in Damson Jam which was around £2.99 ...Love it! Stays on for a long time too.



Lastly I bought a fur stole from H&M which was around £12, random but I really wanted one lol


Love a good shop!
God Bless

Recent internet bargains!❤

(Quick update before I start: In my 'Excitement' post I stated I'd be going to the Men in Black 3 premiere but due to exams I wasn't able to make it, so no snaps from that any time soon *sniff*)

First up are the lipsticks, been looking for ones which suit me and are quite moisturing recently and I got a few tips from friends that Sleek and Revlon do some pretty good ones so I started an online hunt!
(once again please excuse the Blackberry camera quality, new camera on the way!)




I purchased (left to right) Revlon Colour Burst lipstick in Sienna, Sleek true colour lipstick in Naked, Papaya  Punch and Liqueur. (Papaya Punch is a Matte gloss and the rest are Sheen, the fact it's Matte means it is drying but a bit of Asda Clear lipgloss soon sorted that out haha)


I really like them all but my favourite is Sienna its such a pretty colour and is extremely wearable. Here's a few pictures of me wearing it, it is much more of a red colour but once again my camera quality has failed me lol




Another item I purchased was from Sleek again but it's a blush from their Caribbean collection which I think has been discontinued that's why I bought one from Ebay (new) and this one is called Aruba...



I loveee Sleeks blushes because they are literally so bright! The picture doesn't do it justice, it shows up so well darker skin tones but can be used on anyone!




God Bless

Hair Hair Hair :D

So I finally got my hair done! Nothing at all against my relaxed hair but there's something about long hair that is so glam and I love it!  (even if it is store bought but shhhh haha)

This is the hair I bought:


Sorry about the picture quality :( but its Sleek's European weave and I got two packs, one 18 inch in colour 2 and one 18 inch in colour 4, the hair retails for £38 but he sold it to me for £27 a pack :D. I had to take buses all over the Canterbury area (slight exaggeration) for a hair shop that sold hair in 18 inches but managed to find a shop in a place called Cliftonville about 45 mins away from Canterbury called Ethniche check them out on Facebook!  https://www.facebook.com/pages/ETHniche-Hair-Beauty/111039625573351


The hair falls so long on me and i've had 18 inch before but I really like the length! Personally it beats the Premium Now/Too/Plus hair I usually get, It does shed a lot but it's so much silkier than Premium!

Here's a picture of me with Premium Too and then with Sleek European Weave:




Sleek has a better shine but Premium holds curl better as it is more coarse.

Here are a few more pics of the hair :)







                                                Not quite Brazilly but hey! i'm a student! ;) 

                                                                            God Bless
