My Skincare Routine

Hey guys! It's been over a month since I've posted so I thought I should probably make another post. I've seen a few people talk about their skincare routine, so here's mine...



First I use the L'Oreal Cleansing Water.
 

At this point my eye makeup might not be fully off so I use Simple Eye Makeup Remover.
 

 
Then I use the Clean&Clear black head remover. (The bottle has changed now but it's still pretty much the same)
 


Then I exfoliate. I assume you should exfoliate before toning but I don't know. To exfoliate my face I use the Simple Exfoliating wipes.
 


After, I use the Simple toner.
 



 
Then I moisturise with Simple moisturiser.
 

 
Finally I use Wilkinsons tea tree spot cream.
 
 
 
Et Voila!

Barry M Gelly and Topshop Holographic Nail Varnish Review

 
This weekend I decided to try something new on my nails. I've had my barry m 'Prickly Pear' for a while now so I thought I'd try it out seeing as I love the other gelly ones I have. My sister had just bought a topshop nail varnish so I thought I'd try them together.
 
 
Before I paint my nails I always cut and buff them. I use my topshop buffer. Its amazing and it makes your nails look like they have a top coat on already.
 
 
 
Then I put on my basecoat. I use OPI 'Start to Finish' base and topcoat.
 
 
 
Then I do the first coat of prickly pear.
 

Some of the gellys you can get away with one coat but this one is very pale and there for you need a second coat.
 

 
I then used the topshop varnish.
 

 

 
To complete the look I go over them all with the OPI topcoat.
 
 
I've had them on for 3 days now and they haven't chipped at all. That's why I love the Barry M Gellys so much! I have to say I'm not to keen on this purple colour but that's probably because I prefer bright colours and this is quite subtle.
The holographic topshop one I found easy to apply and so far it hasn't chipped. I added a topcoat but apparently to get a good holographic affect you shouldn't add a topcoat.
I would recommend both these nail varnishes.

MUA, Undress Me Too- Eyeshadow Palette Review

About a month ago I went in to superdrug and picked up one of the MUA palettes. I hadn't seen many people talk about them but I thought I'd give it ago anyway as it was so cheap. I went for the 'Undress Me Too' palette purely because I liked the white packaging.

 
 
I use this everyday as it's great for school because of all the natural colours. All of the colours have good pigmentation although the lighter ones are harder to see, obviously. The names of the different shades are a bit weird but I guess they go with the name of the palette. Here are the names..(Left to Right) Naked, Devotion, Shy, Fiery, Lavish, Dreamy, Tranquil, Exposed, Reveal, Wink, Obsessed and Corrupt.
 
 
 
 
 
It also comes with a brush but I prefer to use my fingers or one of my other brushes.
 
Whilst writing this post I was reading the back of the palette and it gives you step by step how to create a smoky eye by using 4 of the shades. I think this is a great idea as anyone can buy this and still know how to use it.
 
 
My favourite shade is dreamy as I just think its a really nice copper colour.
 

 
My rubbish camera really doesn't do it justice. Here is a selection of a few of the shades in the pallet, I promise you they are a lot more pigmented, once again its just my rubbish camera.
 
 
I think I'll be going back to superdrug and picking up another MUA palette as this one is soooo good. I really would recommend this to everyone who likes natural looking make-up or smoky eyes. £4 is a great price considering you get 12 colours plus a brush and a step by step on how to use it!

Hello:)
So I've finally made a blog, I wanted to make a blog because I'm currently too scared to start doing youtube videos hahah...
I am so confused how you blog at the moment but I'm sure I'll soon be addicted.
Anyway, if you're interested in make-up and beauty then I'd love it if you followed me because I'll mainly be posting about that. As I'm only 14 the reviews I do aren't going to be the best but oh well. Most of my product ideas are from youtubers so it's more than likely they'll have done a review too. The main beauty youtubers I watch are Zoella, TanyaBurr, Sprinkleofglitter, Fleurdeforce, Talkbeckytalk and Twinklelashes. I do watch some Americans but I prefer the British ones because it's obviously easier for me to get the products they use.
I'm also a little obsessed with one direction, little mix and food.
