July's Love me beauty!

Julys Love Me Beauty box! 

This is my first ever love me beauty box and I am very pleased with it! When you go onto the love me beauty website you can pick your box from a selection of three different ones, most the items will be the same but a couple will vary, I opted for box number 3. 

In my box I received...

OFRA  eyeliner in "black" and this retails for £7.60.

This was one of the items that varied depending on which box you choose. The eye-liner is smooth and creamy which makes it easy to apply and has quite a good lasting formula. 

OFRA pressed eye shadow in "Gold Rush" and retails for £8.80.

This item is included in all boxes but the colour does vary. This is a lovely little compact eye shadow which is very pigmented and sits on the eyelid very well. It comes in a little black case which has two compartments the top part is the eye shadow and if you lift that up there is a little mirror underneath which is quite handy.

Lashem lash enhancing serum. I received this in a sample size of 2ml but the full size which is 3.5ml retails for £40. I was quite please with this as its not far off from the full size, I have only used this product a couple of times and am yet to see results as i am guessing it is one of those products that you have to use for so long and let it build up before results start to show.By looking at the price I am hoping that its guna be a good product. 

So Susan flutter mascara in the colour black and this retails for £14.95.

I've given this mascara a few goes but it just doesn't seem to be wowing me, its a nice formula and is easy to apply but just doesn't seem to be making much of a difference to the appearance of my eyelashes :( but on the plus side it isn't the worst mascara i have ever tried, and i wont be throwing it away :) 

So Susan brow powder and this retails for £11.95. 

unfortunately I am unable to write a review on this product as when I received this it was all broken and like dust so I am awaiting the arrival of my replacement. I have read a few other positive reviews on this product so I am looking forward to trying it :)

The Teashed Skinny tea and these retail for £3.50.

I received 20 skinny tea tea bags, and these are simply just green tea. Being a huge fan of green tea i am certainly impressed with these! They come in a gorgeous silky pyramid shape tea bag unlike any others i have tried! and they don't have that chemically taste that a lot of them do have. These are now my new faves! :) 

I also received a welda body lotion which was a nice surprise! although it expires in march :( but i don't mind as I cannot stand the smell so have passed it on to my mum! 

So overall my first impression of love me beauty is great! I'm very happy with this box and hopefully will be purchasing next months!

My first memebox!! Superbox #29 burst of colour 2!

My first ever memebox has arrived! So exciting! So far I have ordered 8 boxes and the first one to arrive is the "superbox #29 burst of colour 2" IT IS STILL AVAILABLE! And costs $39.00 which is around £22, and postage is $6.99/£4. If your new to memebox use the code "TRYMEMEBOX" to receive $15 off your first order!  

Anyway let's get started! I received 7 FULL SIZED products! Amazing!  

The first item I received was  "hope girl tinted cushion lipstick" worth $12/£7 and I received the colour "neon orange".

This is a double ended stick, one end has the lipstick on it, and the other end has a cushion type applicator which allows you to blend the lipstick and allows your to have a "gloss-less" lipstick if you prefer the more matte effect. This is a gorgeous lipstick, glides on smoothly and feels lovely and moisturising. The tint in the lipstick is brill, managed to stay on pretty much all day whilst I was out but did start to fade towards the end of the day. Over all I am very impressed with this product :) 

Hope girl wonder magic mascara this is just in the colour black and is worth $22/£13.

This is a volumizing, lengthening and curling mascara. I found this mascara to be great for my eyelashes as I do have quite short lashes so the brush allows it to get close to my roots without me making a mess. The mascara lasted all day and transformed my lashes into longer and thicker lashes. It didn't become clumpy and flakey and overall is a lovely mascara! 

Sua Young Mein Sua Young Mineral Essence In Liquid Foundation SPF 33 worth $34/£20.

This i a hypo allergenic liquid mineral foundation with SPF 33 (everyone loves a foundation with SPF!!) when applying this to my face it felt lovely and light, it spreads so easily and jut glides all over your face. It felt moisturising and very light, i would say it is a medium coverage foundation so it doesn't look cakey and does not feel heavy on your face. This gives a lovely natural and soothing effect. I cannot find the shade of the foundation anywhere so I'm guessing it's a one colour for all skin types, but I'm not 100%! But I love this and definitely recommend it :)

Beauty people 10 second auto eye liner pencil, these cost $48/£28 for two! 

I received the shades "diamond burgundy" and "diamond natural beauty" which are a dark burgundy and a lovely light pink with a a gold tint. These are literally like permanent markers! They are so easy to apply as they are lovely and creamy so they just glide on. Try dry really quickly and once dry, you do not need to worry about any smudging, they are amazing!! Had the burgundy on alllll day and by the end of the day still looked perfect!! Although it did take a while to remove, but definitely worth it! 

Hope Girl 3D powder blush, I got the colour "girly pink" which is a very light pink and is worth $18/£10.50.

This is a powdered blush with a sponge/buffing applicator. You can apply the blush to your face or with the attached applicator. I used a brush as I have never really tried any other way before so thought I would just stick to what I knew! It blends so easily on my face and looks lovely with the natural look. Quite impressed with this product :) (ps I apologise about the stain on the table from where my drink was just before I took the pictures, I've only just realised -.-) 

LadyKin close-up decuple fitting powder, this is a one shade for all product and costs $17/£10. The name of this product sounds complicated, but it is simply just a face powder that you apply over your foundation to give a silky, powdery top coat and evens out your skin tone. It comes out like a clear-ish looking powder, so it doesn't add any colour to your face, which is good. It just gives you a flawless look, and keeps your skin moisturised. I found this to be like the ELF high definition but I think I prefer this one now :) certainly will be in my everyday makeup bag :) 

The final product I received was the "Y.E.T Catgirl waterproof pen liner in black, this is worth $9/£5. This is just a liquid eyeliner with a pen/felt tip end applicator. This was easy to apply and was smudge proof, with long lasting colour. As with all liquid eyeliner I find them hard to apply as I have a really unsteady hand so that doesn't help, but it glides on nicely and lasted all day so once I finally got it right I was impressed with it, and for the price it's a great product :)

Over all I am sooo impressed with this box! It's literally everything you need for a full face of makeup! They are all very good and impressive products and I definitely got my money's worth! My first meme box was amazing! 

Huge UK ELF haul!!

So when I received an email saying they were offering 51% off to celebrate their birthday I couldn't resist! I have never tried elf products before and have read a lot about them, all the reviews and videos I have watched seem to be very possitive and so I thought why not give it a go! So here is what I ordered ...

Huge ELF haul! 

Lipstick, £1.95- 

These are the classic lipsticks from elf retailing for just £1.95 each. For the price they are amazing! Very moisturising and pigmented, they don't last a brilliant amount of time on the lips but you can't complain for the price! I tried out the shades captivating, fantasy and classy (in order on the picture).

Luscious liquid lipstick, £1.95- 

These are simply just a liquid lipstick, they come in a twisty tube with a sponge type applicator on the end where the liquid comes out. They glide smoothly  onto the lips and are quite pigmented. They do feel the tiniest bit sticky but nothing to major, but for the price I am very pleased :) I tried out the shades "bark" and "raspberry" (picture shows raspberry and then bark) and these retail for just £1.95.  

Studio matte lip colour, £3.95-

This is a pencil type lip product and I love it! It's a lovely smooth moisturising product that applies amazing on to the lips and is very pigmented! Doesn't last all day but you can simply just re apply when it starts to fade! I got the shade "tea rose" which is a lovely light pink shade, gutted I didn't order a few more shades! For £3.95 I am amazed with it :) 

Pluming lip glaze, £1.95- 

This is a double application lip gloss, firstly you apply the clear gloss which starts to stimulate your lips, when you first put this on it tastes minty and makes you lips tingle slightly, The clear gloss does feel slightly sticky. If you want to add colour to your lips you apply the tinted gloss onto which adds colour but also adds a bit of moisture and takes away the stickiness. I am actually very impressed with this product, I can definitely see a difference with the "plumping" effect, and for £1.95 what can I say! Love it :) I tried this in the shade "plum pout".

Wet gloss lash and brow clear mascara, £1.95-

This is a double sided tube that contains clear lash mascara and a clear brow mascara. I bought this for my brows and probably won't ever use it on my lashes but so far so good! I applied it on my lashes over the top after using my brow pencil to add colour and they stayed in place all day! Perfect for those little fly aways that get brushed out of place easily, which is basically my whole eyebrows! So this products a miracle for me :) this retails for just £1.95!! 

High definition powder, £6.95-

This is a loose powder which is suppose to create a "soft focus" effect on your skin. I found that applying this all over my face gave my skin a softer appearance but minimising my fine lines and any imperfections I have. It's not the most amazing product as a lot of people make it out to be but it's definitely improved the look of my skin slightly. So I think this is a keeper in my makeup bag :) this is available for £6.95 and I tried it in the shade "translucent". 

Nail polish, £2.50-

I actually got this nail polish for £1.00! As it was in the "last chance" section, It is still available but I'm not sure for how much longer. I think this is just your average nail varnish, applies nicely, maybe could do with two coats depending on how deep you want the colour and dries reasonably quick :) I chose the shade "party purple" which is a shimmery deep purple, it's a lovely colour  but I think I'm going to save it for the winter months :) 

All over colour stick, £1.95-

I bought these as they seemed like a handy little product to have as they can be used for several areas of the face. I got 4 different shades the first two were "golden peach" and "pink lemonade" I got these as I liked the look of the colours and they can be used for both cheek colour and lip colour which I thought was fab! The third one I chose was "spotlight" I got this to use on my cheeks as a nice creamy highlighter. The final one was in "ivory" this one I thought would be handy for an all over the face application or simply just using it as a concealer. All of these colour sticks are very creamy and apply now and smoothly to the skin, the application is so easy and they blend in really well. They are available in lots of colours and retail for £1.95 :) (picture shows pink lemonade, spotlight, golden peach and then ivory) 

Bronzer with brush, £2.50- 

I got this bronzer as I was looking for an all over ace bronzer that was not shimmery, and when I noticed the shade "truly-bronzed matte" I couldn't resist for £2.50! It's a nice little bronzer but is not overly pigmented so it does take quite a lot to notice the colour on my skin. Not the most amazing bronzer but for the price I can't really complain :) 

Complete coverage concealer, £3.95-

As soon as I saw this I had to have it, £4 for 4 different shades of light concealer is amazing. It has a lovely creamy texture that glides on to the skin nicely, it blends in really well and personally I think it has quite a good coverage that is not too thick. It's comes in a little case with a handy little brush to apply with if you don't like to use your fingers. For the price I certainly recommend this product, I bought it in the shade "light". 

Lip exfoliator, £3.95-

I finally found one! Been after a good, not so pricey lip exfoliator for so long and I finally found one! It has a gorgeous scent to it which you can taste when you apply it. You apply it in circular motions to your lips, this removes any dry and chapped skin leaving your lips feeling soft and nourished, and it really does work! I use this before applying my lip products to ensure the colour will not crack and my lip will stay smooth  :) 

Lip stain, £3.95-

These are a double ended liquid lip product, one end contains a silky matte colour and the other contains a clear gloss. I found that the colour has a nice application when applying it your lips but can feel a little bit sticky, although when you apply the gloss over the top (if you want a glossy look rather than a matte one) then your lips no longer feel sticky they feel smooth and moisturised. They have a decent durability on your lips and the colour lasts a reasonable amount of time. I got these in the colours "mysterious" and "red carpet" and retail for £3.95. 

Lip stain, £2.95-

This is a pen stain rather than a liquid "lipgloss" type stain. I prefer these as once they dry you forget your even wearing them and you don't have to worry about them being sticky. These apply nicely to the lips and certainly do stain, this lasted all day and is now one of my fave prouducts, especially for the price! I got this in the shade "berry blush".

Long wear lip liner, £1.95-

I got these as I didn't own a single lip liner and thought I really should give them a go. For the price I would say I am impressed they lasted a good few hours but they began to fade, the application was easy as they just glided on smoothly and blended in really well with my lips/lip colour. I got these in the shades natural blush, bark, bitter and mauve luxe. These are available for £1.95 in various shades :)

Moisturising lip stick, £3.95-

I bought this as any lipstick with the words "moisturising" appeal to me as I suffer with dry lips quite a lot. I chose the shade "wink pink" which is a really natural shade of pink. Te lipstick is very rich and creamy and certainly nourishes and hydrates my lips. It lasts quite a lengthy amount of time but I did have to top up a few times throughout the day :) very pleased with this lipstick for the price! 

Tone correcting concealer, £1.95-

This stood out to me as I have a little patch on the side of my face that doesn't blend in very well with my face which was caused from sunburn. So I thought id give this ago to try and even out my skin tone and help it to blend in when I apply my makeup. It covered up the imperfections just slightly, so it helped a little, not the best but not bad for just £2! :) I tried this in the shade "light beige".

Studio stipple brush, £3.95-

This was just an extra I added to my basket just for the fun of it! I've heard lots of good reviews about the elf brushes so thought I would give one a go. This brush feels amazingly soft! It's very good for apply powder and liquid products and it's especially good for adding definition to your face such as the cheek bones or highlighting. 

Sooo... Overall I would say my first elf experience was a huge success! Love the products and for the price.. Amazing! Certainly will be going back to them! :)

July birchbox!

Yay it's arrived! Julys birchbox! I love birchbox that much I have two subscriptions Ooops. The theme of the boxes this month is "sun, sea & sand" getting everyone ready for the summer! So here it is...

I love it! My other box is completely the same which is a shame but oh well it means I have two of everything! So the content in my box includes 

Benefit- the porefessional 

This is a primer that is supposed to hide pores and leave the skin nice and smooth. I've tried this plenty of times and I think it's safe to say it's my no 1 primer! Glides on amazingly and leaves my face nice and soft. In the box I recieved a sample size of 7.5 ml, the full size retails for £24.50 :) 

Balance me- wonder eye cream

This is a brightening eye cream to be used around the eye area for a brightening effect and to help with any wrinkles. This cream works wonders, it glides on nice a smooth, and feels nice and light and refreshing on my face, certainly does the job! I received a sample size of 7ml and the full size retails for £20 

Laqa & Co- sheer lip lube pencil 

I got this in the shade "menatour" which is a nice light purple/deep pink shade, when you look at the colour of it it looks like a really bold purple colour, but when applied it's a really light shade with a hint of pink to it. This glides onto my lips leaving them feeling nice and nourished, it also has a gloss finish to it which is lovely. Overall a nice colour and so far a great product! I recieved a sample size (I think) and the full product retails for £14. 

Models own- nail polish

I recieved the shade "magenta diva" when I first saw this I was super excited to try it, the colour looked lovely. On the picture it looks quite dark but it's actually a bit more pink. Me being over excited as I am when my boxes arrived didn't tea how to use this properly, so I shoved a really think later onto my nails and it took AGES to dry, then I decided to read the leaflet, which says to apply two thin layers. Problem solved! Lovely colour and a nice product :) I recived the full size which retails from £5. 

Whish- three whishes lavender body butter

When I saw this I wasn't so sure as lavender is no least favourite smell, but as I do with all my products I have it a go. Te smell was quite sweet and not as strong which was a pleasant suprise! It was a lovely texture and felt gorgeous on my skin, left my skin feeling nourished and soft! So a big thumbs up from me! I recieved a sample size of 22ml and the full size retails for £14.50.

Filosofille- 4 sided nail buffer

This I the last product in my box! This came as a lifestyle extra, so it's a nice little extra treat. It's a 4 sided nail buffer which includeds file, buff, polish and shine, so it's a hardly little product that can be taken anywhere in your handbag! 

So that's everything I recieved in my July birchbox! Hope you enjoyed reading and seeing the content, if you have not already signed up and would like to it is £10 per month with a £2.95 postage cost, to join use the following link http://birchbox.co.uk/?raf=43619  by using this link you will also recieve £5 worth of points to spend in the shop when you have subscribed!

Meme box!

So I've been hearing a lot of possitive reviews on "meme boxes" which Is a Korean beauty box, supplying some of there best beauty products. There boxes focus mainly of hair and skin care but do contain makeup and other products too. Online they sell a huge range of different boxes with different themes to cater for everyone, boxes range from around $15-$40 with $6.99 postage. So me being me, couldn't resist and ordered 5 boxes! They do take up to 30 days to be delivered once the shipping date comes, but hopefully the wait will be worth it! If you would like to try out meme box, use the code "TRYMEMEBOX" to get $15 off your first order 😄👌💄💗.

Here are the 5 boxes I have ordered, I shall post pictures and reviews as soon as they arrive!

My fave July lip products!

Here I have 3 of my fave lip products at the moment! The first two are the L 'Oreal infallible 24H lip colour in the
shades "timeless rose" (first one on the picture)and "flawless fuchsia" these are both pink shades with a slight hint of shimmer to them. When you first apply the colour to your lips it does feel slightly sticky, but it dries so quick and you can barely feel it on your lips! The colours are amazing, very pigmented and last literally all day!! They also come with a glossy balm that you can apply over the top If you prefer the glossy look, or just want to give your lips a bit of moisture :) I actually received these in a you beauty discovery box, but you can purchase these from boots for £9.99 each :) 

The third product is the colour elixir gloss by max factor in the shade "captivating ruby" this is a gorgeous bright red colour and is nice and pigmented. The gloss slides so smoothly onto my lips and does not feel sticky at all, it also makes my lips feel soft and gives them moisture. It's not the most amazing product for it's durability, but it does last a pretty decent amount of time, for me it's an amazing product! I purchased this lipgloss from boots for £7.99 :) 

The swatches at the bottom go in the order on the picture :-) 

Sleek face contour kit in light review!

So, I purchased the sleek face contour kit in the colour "light". With my make up products I usually have to go for products that are medium shades, but I found with this that the light shade worked perfectly for me, although medium would work too if I was going for a more darker and heavier look. This palette comes with a pressed powder which acts as the contouring powder for things such as defining the jaw line or contouring the cheekbones. It also comes with a highlighter, which can be used in several places such as the apple of your cheek, the temple or the tip of your nose for more defined and highlighted looks. I use this palette almost every single day, as I find it creates a nice subtle defined look for me and lasts all day! I purchased this product from superdrug for £6.49 :-).

Hi everyone!

Hey guys! 

Welcome to my new blog, which is all about beauty! Always wanted to make a blog, but never knew how, and to be quite honest I still don't really know much! But hey ho worth a shot, so enjoy! :-)
