April 2015 Favourites

There hasn't been many products that I have constantly wanted to reach for this month because there has been so many new products in my collection that I have been using to test out and review, but there has been some products I've used on a daily basis as we transition into Spring and the warmer months.


The first product that I have used every single day for a while now is this mascara from Elizabeth Arden. This came with a Christmas gift box and I have only just opened it and I believe it is a Ceramide Lengthening Mascara or something like that, I'm not sure of the exact name. I love how my lashes look with this, it lengthens really well because my lashes are so short and separates the individual lashes as well.
For blush, I have been using the MUA Luxe Whipped Velvet Blush in Rococo a lot this month, I have reviewed this product which you can read here and it's a great shade for Spring and its very lightweight for the warmer weather as well. It's sheer which is what I prefer with blushers, it gives off that really nice healthy glow and I found that applying this over my foundation with the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge is the best way because it blends out effortlessly and doesn't look to heavy on the cheeks either.
I have very oily skin so I am constantly trying out all kinds of different products to battle that. I've been loving the Essence All About Matt Fixing Compact Powder because its a lightweight powder that instantly creates a matte finish to the skin without making the rest of your skin look cakey and it controls the shine for hours. This is definitely an essential product as we go into Spring and Summer and I have a full review coming up in the next few months so make sure to come back to see that.
As you may know, I love the new Maybelline foundation and to apply that there has been one brush that I always reach for on a daily basis and that is the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. I used this a lot and it always creates a really nice finish and I have been using this with their sponge recently and I'm not sure which one I've liked more, but this is the first product that I used and I love it. Their brushes are all so durable and amazing quality and I am thinking about trying their new Bold Metals collection. If you have tried out their new brushes, please leave your links in the comment section below.

How To: Apply False Nails

Image
Hey guys Today I thought of doing a quick post today. Today I wanted to do a 'How To' post and this one is Applying False Nails. Even though it's easy, you need to do it properly so they look as natural as possible. And I'm going to tell you how I apply my false nails. You need: False Nails (you can get them cheap in supermarkets, makeup stores etc) Nail Glue (most nails come with glue, but you can buy glue at Superdrug for around £4 ( www.superdrug.co.uk ) Cuticle Pusher or cuticle stick Nail scissors (curved work best) Emery board 1) Begin by selecting the false nails that best fit your natural nail. It needs to be accurate because it will look more realistic. 2) Use a cuticle stick/pusher and gently push your cuticles back to avoid the nail sticking to it (which, will hurt if you take them off!!) If you want, you can cut the cuticles off. 3) Apply nail glue all over the natural nail. Be careful with the glue - it bonds in seconds, difficult to remove

MUA Cosmetics Review

Image
Hey everyone Last week for my birthday, I went shopping and while I was in Superdrug and I  picked up some things from MUA (Makeup Academy). There are some products here I haven't tried, one product I have but not this particular name. I actually fell in love with this brand when it was a very small company when everything was £1! Then the company expanded which made me very happy and so I tried   these products and I have mixed reviews. The first product I am reviewing is the BB Cream. This is £4 in the MUA online store ( www.muastore.co.uk ) or in Superdrug ( www.superdrug.com ). I wanted a BB Cream because I find foundation is too heavy and is bad for your skin and I started to go off tinted moisturizer. Anyway, for the price in general is OK for the product. I bought Shade Medium last week and I think this is a bit too dark for me even though the medium and light shade are very similar. The BB Cream is easy to blend. For me, this is going to be mixed with something light
