July Monthly Favourites

Hi
Today I'm going to share with you  my monthly favourites.
1. Miss Sporty Just Clear Mascara. I really like using this mascara for shaping my brows and use it almost every day. I have a future review of this coming soon.
2. Barry M Nail Paint Instant Nail Effects White. Personally I prefer the white colour for summer as it is brighter then black. This is a really interesting nail polish and I love it!
3. Natural Collection Cover-Up Stick. I just recently bought this and it gives really good coverage. However it is not very good for dry skin.
4. MUA pressed powder. I use this almost everyday, as it gives a really light coverage so it's great for all the time.
5. Body Collection Classic Gold lipstick in Pink Candy. This is my all time favourite lipstick. I love the colour as it is really natural, but really pretty.

Best Blushes For Your Skin Tone

Hi
Today I'm going to tell you the best blushes for your skin tone.
For Fair skin use light skin shades as anything to dark will show up on your skin to much.
I recommend Elf mineral blush in Joy or Elf blush in Innocence.
For Medium skin use subtle gold or peach shades.
I recommend Elf studio blush in Candid Coral or Natural Collection blush in Peach Melba.
For Olive skin you can use basically all blush colours, however don't use colours that are to light.
I recommend Elf studio blush in Berry Merry or Elf mineral blush in Plum.
For Dark skin with a cool complexion use deep rose and plum with a hint of silver.
For Dark skin with a warm complexion use apricot peaces and gold shimmers.
I recommend Clinique fresh bloom allover colour in Plum Poppy.

Technic Lipsticks Review

 Hi             
Today I'm going to do a review of the Technic lipsticks. These lipsticks are high in pigmentation, and are really easy to apply. However I would recommend using a lip balm as a base first as if you have dry or chapped lips these will just accentuate them.I have 2 of these (same with most products I review), in Bare All and Fucshia Rose. I prefer Fucshia Rose as this is a really nice bold party colour, where as Bare All is a very natural light pink which hardly shows up. I rate these lipsticks 7/10.

Summer Brights

Hi
Today I'm going to do a summer brights tutorial. This look is mainly involving the eye area.
Face
First prime you face and eyes, then apply concealer or foundation on your face.
Eyes
Then apply a base to your eye.
Now apply a hot pink colour over your lid, then in your inner corner apply a bright yellow colour.
Next line your eye with a right pencil liner you can use any colour but I would recommend blue, (remember to do a bit of a wing at the end).
Then apply this on your lower lash line as well.
Now finally for eyes apply mascara.
Lips
Apply a lip balm, then a nude lipstick or lip gloss. This will mean your lips don't draw attention away from your eyes.

MUA Eyeshadows

Hi
Today I'm going to do a review of the MUA eye shadows. The MUA range is available for £1 from Superdrug. First of all these eye shadows are highly pigmented! The colour really shows, however if you are looking for a naturally soft finish, some of the matte shadows are great for this! I have quite a few of these I have shades 1, 4, 6, 9, 16 and 18. I rate these 9.5/10 because they are really amazing!

Barry M Instant Nail Effects

Hi
Today I'm going to do a review of, the Barry M instant nail effects. If you don't know what this does it's basically a top coat for your nail polish, which then cracks off in places to form a cool effect to your nails. I love this nail paint, I have them in white and black. The white nail effect gives more of a summery feel, where as the black adds glam to a night out look. These are £3.99 each (when not on offer), and I would rate them 8/10!

Worst Products Ever

Hi
Today I'm going to tell you which products you definitely should not buy.
1. MUA Mascara in blue.
I don't like this as its not properly blue its just small bits of blue in the formulae.
2. Natural Collection Tinted Moisturizer.
I don't like this as it doesn't have very good coverage (even for a tinted moisturizer).
3. 2true Smooth Matte Foundation
I don't like this as it is way to orange (even shade 1!) and doesn't blend very well at all!

Get Some Pow Purple!

Hi
Today I'm going to show you how to get a pow of purple!
First start with foundation use your favourite one as not everyone likes every foundation.
Now conceal any spots and redness you have.
If you have dark circles use a anti-dark roll on, I would recommend garnier's.
Now shape your brows I would recommend using a pencil then keeping them in place with clear mascara.
Prime your eyes with any primer.
Use a base colour on your eyes, use a eyeshadow or cream eyeshadow close to your skin tone.
Use a darkish purple colour all over your lid.
With a purple gel liner line your upper lash line and make shour to add a flick at the end.
For lips apply a lip balm to prime your lips then apply a neutral toned lipstick or lipgloss!

Now Your Done!

Review Of Natural Collection Lipsticks

Hi
Today I'm going to do a review of Natural Collection Lipsticks. I have 2 of them shade Lotus and Rose Petal. Lotus is a neutral beige toned colour which I love, I would recommend this on all skin tones, apart from a quite tanned one. Rose Petal is a light pink colour, it's a really pretty colour which I would recommend for light skin tones. These lipsticks are very moisturizing and soft on your lips. I would recommend them and rate them 8/10!

Natural Make-Up For Any Day

Hi
Today I'm going to show you how to get a natural make-up look. This is great for any occasion, and is the easiest look to start of with.
First apply concealer on any spots and redness you have. (we are skipping foundation as this is a natural look).
If you have really bad dark circles use a anti-dark roll on if not just skip it as well.
If you want apply your favourite blush.
Shape your brows with a pencil and clear mascara.
Apply a small amount of mascara to your lashes.
Finally apply some highlight to your cheeks and down your nose. This makes you look a bit more awake.
This is a really simple look and it is good for any occasion whatsoever!

Get Those Fun Nails!

Hi
Today I'm going to show you how to get uber fun spotty pink nails.
First apply a base coat, use the one you like the best.
Next apply the first coat of a pink nail polish, the tone of pink you choose will effect how your nails look quite a bit! So choose one you like.
Apply a second coat of your pink colour.
Finally make some black dots over your nails to get this look.
If you want to GLAM it up a bit you can apply gems instead of black dots. This is a great look for going out (especially the glammed up version).

2true Duo Eyeshadows Review

Hi
Today I' m going to do a review of 2true's duo eye shadows. I have 2 of them shade 9 and shade 10. They are great value but only have average pigmentation. Shade 9 has a gold shimmery colour and a dark purple crease colour or a lid colour. Shade 10 has a light purple/lilac colour and basically the same purple colour as in the other duo, apart from a tiny bit darker. The first one I got was shade 9 the gold and dark purple colours. I got this because they looked like nice colours and went with each other well. I got shade 10 about 2 months ago, and I really enjoy using the colours included, as I love purple. I would recommend these if you are looking for quite light colours and not for full on drama. I give them a rating of 6/10.

Top Make-Up Tips And Tricks

Hi
Today I'm going to tell you the best make-up tips.
Haven't got time for fake tan, just mix your regular bronzer with a moisturiser, then apply to your face and body.

Put a fresh towel over your pillow every night to sleep on. This will absorb the oil from your face, to stop you getting spots.


They are two tips for applying blush:
You could bend over for 30secs, then slowly stand up, where your cheeks are flushed apply blusher.
or
Smile to find the apples of you cheeks then apply blush.


Apply three coats of Maybelline colossal mascara, to have a really flirty eye effect.

Pluck your eyebrows strait after you have been in the shower to stop it hurting.

To get big hair, bend over, backcomb loads then hairspray like crazy!

To keep your nail polishes from going lumpy put them in the fridge.

How To Get Gem Lips

Hi Today I'm going to tell you how to get this lip look (left). First prep your lips with a lip balm or chapstick. Then start at one corner of your lips and apply special facial gems. This may take some time but when your finish you will not believe how awesome they look! If you have quite small lips you can apply a extra layer of gems at the bottom to form bigger lips.
After you have finished apply all the gems you want to apply a lip sealer here is a example. This one is by 2true and when I first saw it I thought it was a clear nail polish!

Elf Review For U!

Hi
Today I'm going to do a review of eyeslipsface.com/eyelipsface.co.uk for you. Eyes lips face or more commonly known as elf, is a great and cheap website where you can get really high quality products, for cheap prices. My favourite product in there range is from there studio line, its called the contouring blush and bronze compact. So many people have compared this to nars laguna and orgasm. The blush is a very sweet pink colour and the bronzer is quite a dark colour but it is a great bronzer still. I would recommend Elf and rate them 8/10!
