Leighton Denny review!

I got the amazing polish in my birchbox the other day and got really excited when I saw it was in there I really love this colour is very classy and safisticated. It's a everyday wearable colour that's not in your face but catches attention.

The brush is a perfect size and glides on smoothly with a second coat it looks just as good as gel , make sure you prep the nail with good base coat and finish with a top coat for a long lasting finish that stays immaculate for days I still have this on my nails now and hasn't chipped just yet! 

The colour is leading lady 

Price £11.00

MAC frost lipstick!

MAC frost lipstick I love the formula of this lipstick it glides on smoothly onto the lips leaving a nice finish and lasts for a long time too.

I don't normally wear brown colours I'm more a pink lover of lipsticks but I thought I'd be daring and go for a different colour which I have actually grown to like.

This colour would be great for any type or makeup look defiantly a bronzed goddess look with the shimmering effect this lipstick has. I think if your a bit of a pink lover like myself and not daring enough to go for a dark red maybe try a brown and see how you get on as it's not such a dramatic change I'm still trying to find a perfect red for myself so if you know of any red lipsticks or glosses comment below that would be perfect for a brunette like me. 

MAC frost price £15.00

Must have shadow for a natural eye...

Loving this Laura mercier eyeshadow in twinkling star this is my favourite at the moment I'm not a big one for eyeshadows but subtle colours like this are great for me.

The colour goes on nicely make sure you use a eye primer for a smooth finish it's a very flakey shadow so all you need to do it press the brush into it and press onto the eyelid gently for a sparkly natural eye.

I purchased this from the space nk shop or you can check out there website on www.spacenk.co.uk the shadow was £19.00 pricey but worth it.

Hope you liked this comment if you know of any cheaper brands similar to this colour would love to know :) x

My bargain find this month...

My bargain find this month is my pretty flower cup from primark when I saw this on the stand I had to get it.

I bring this with me everywhere now especially to work before I set off In the morning I make a cup of tea and bring this with me on my long journey to work.

It's very well made doesn't leak at all and is very easy to clean the lid screws on and off making your drink stay in secure and for a bargain price of £2.50 it's worth the purchase Defiantly a must have.

gosh magic eyelash serum/mascara!

I went shopping yesterday in superdrug looking around for a new mascara and came across the gosh stand and saw they had a eyelash growth serum and a growth mascara.

I thought I have to try this, so I'm trying them out and it takes about two weeks to notice I not long ago had individual eyelashes in which some of my own eyelashes fell out. 

I put the gosh growth serum on morning and night and I've noticed a few of my shorter lashes look a little longer! 

I've been using the mascara and I really like the brush  it makes my eyelashes look a lot longer and you can really get into the corners where you can't normally get to your little lashes I'm still testing this 

out but from using it the second time I'm really liking this mascara it 

doesnt irritate my eyes either as I have very sensitive eyes which is  a plus side I would defiantly recommend this. 

Both these products are from superdrug in a offer for 2 for £10.00 bargain!.  I'm still testing the serum and the mascara but will update you on how my eyelashes look in 2 weeks with a updated picture.

Below is a picture of what my eyelashes look like now hope this helped and makes you want to try it! Email or leave comments below and il be happy to talk x

Balmy love...

My four fav lip balms have to be the...

1) body shop born lippy in pink berry taste and smells amazing and keeps lips feeling soft for ages.

2) Baby lips in pink punch is amazing smells delicious and has a lovely pink tint to it leaving the lips looking kissable they also come in many shades and flavours.

3) Nivea Is a good everyday lip moisturiser with a hint of rose 

4) lastly blistex which taste amazing with its raspberry lemonade flavour you won't be able to stop reappling it keeps my lips feel soft throughout the day aswell.

All four of these lip balms I'd highly recommend for moisturising the lips leaving them feeling nourished and soft I swap my balms daily and don't just stick to one I use all four of them throughout the day.

Hope you liked this blog tell me what your favourite lip balm is I'm up for trying anything new write in the comments below.

My favourite drink this month is....

This month my favourite drink is chai latte I am addicted to this at the moment if you haven't yet tried it I would defiantly go and buy some or even go to your nearest costa or Starbucks.

It taste so delicious with its blend of green tea and spices smells like a cinnamon swirl to, I went onto drinking this as I'm abit of a tea lover and thought maybe I should cut down on the caffeine as this is 99% caffeine free , you can either have this with milk or water and both taste just as good it's quick and easy to make and you feel a lot healthier after you drink a cup of this deliciousness.

You can purchases this from waitrose im not to sure on any other stores but it's not expensive either for a pot of this is about £3.00 

Write on the comments if you like chai latte and if there are any other teas you recommend I'd love to try new ones!

It uses extracts of grape, rosemary, orange blossom, rose, myrrh and organic balm mint to both minimise your pores and brighten up the skin  all skin types will be able to use this which is a bonus!

My hair care collection....

These are my current hair products that im using either everyday or every other. So for dry shampoo i use the brand fat hair this is brilliant for my working days when i have to rush out the door, leaves my hair looking as if ive washed it you have to shake the can pretty well or it will leave a white mark but it wont if you shake it before use! 

Moving onto heat protectant and hair serums i am currently using VO5 for my protectant, this is great just sprizt it all over the hair brush through and it does the job leaving my hair smelling delicious and bouncy. For the serums im using redken or VO5 my redken which ive been using forever this product lasts ages for the price i only put this on my ends as serums can make your hair greasy but it really helps with split ends and frizz.

For my hair spray and hair treatment i use the tresemme freeze hold and got 2 b oil-liciouse.

The hair spray does exactly what it says on the can it holds styles really well specially as i wear a quiff alot and its not to pricey either.

For my hair treatment the oil-liciouse is really good for spritzing all over leaving my hair looking shiny and soft and not greasy looking at all.

Big fat hair: superdrug 

Got 2 b oil-liciouse: superdrug

VO5: both superdrug

Redken: harringtons hair salon

Tresemme:boots or superdrug

Hope this helped and made you want to try some of these

My everyday make up favourites.....

This is my everyday make up favourites I wear on a daily basis..

foundation I use the gosh x-ceptional wear in the colour 12 natural.

 I really like the way this foundation glides onto the skin it buffs in really well with my real techniques buffing brush, also the colour range is really good they do a really light one to a really dark one so can be worn by anyone.

Recently I've noticed I am getting a lot shinier with this foundation as I have used it for a long time maybe it is time to find a new one for my skin type so I probably wouldn't recommend this for a oily skin like mine but defiantly good for a normal to combination skin type.

from super drug for £7.99

powder I use the accessorize in translucent there's not much to say about this powder other than it suits all skin types and does keep my skin looking Matte throughout the day, it doesn't cake up when I re apply it either I'd highly recommend this.  

from super drug for £4.99

Eyebrow gel I use the maybelline brow drama in the colour dark brown this gel is perfect for keeping the brows in place and giving them a little bit of colour.

from super drug for £4.99

Eyebrows I use the MUA pro brow kit I love this it's really cheap and my eyebrows don't budge all day! It comes with a wax, three shades , tweezers and a little brush

Mascara i am using is the  Rimmel scandal eyes Lycra flex this is great for volumizing the lashes to make them look fuller and also adding thickness to them with its big soft barrel brush.

From super drug for £4.99

Bronzer I use is the Bahamas mama by the balm I literally love this bronzer it's my second repurchases and I love it this really gives a natural glow to the face without making you look orange it's brilliant for contouring as it's soft powder is easy to Blend out.

great buy from www.feelunique.com  for £13.50

Blusher im using is accessorize merged baked blusher  In colour number 5 sensation I love this blusher as it gives a nice pink shimmer on the cheeks and is not to overpowering it glides on nicely to and doesn't cake up.

From super drug sale for £2.99

Concealer I'm using is from YSL touché éclat radiant touch in the lightest shade I absolutely love this concealer hides all my dark circles and imperfections and really does brighten and highlight areas too I defiantly will be repurchasing this it's a makeup bag must have its pricey but worth it.

From John Lewis for £25.00

BB cream for under the eyes I use the pure B.B in ultra light I like this as it brightens and gives a cooling sensation under my eye area giving it a good base for my concealer to sit on.

From super drug £1.99

Lip products are use are the H&M lip tint in bubblegum pink and NYX Megs shine lipgloss In pink frost I love both these lip products together for a ultra baby pink lip there long lasting and the taste of the NYX is amazing smells like cherries.

Bare minerals night treatment...

So I got this powder as a present for Christmas and I've been using it everyday since it's amazing after I've cleansed my skin at night I apply this all over my face with the brush that comes with it and buff it into the skin. 

This powder helps  to reduce pores, increase luminosity and help faster cell turnover which helps skins renewing benefits. 

I can see a difference in my skin my pores are a lot smaller and my skin doesn't feel so shiny in the morning and looks a lot brighter also I had some bad scarring and has faded the marks which I was happy about , I've had this Product since December and still have a full pot left even thou it's a pricey product it last ages which is a bonus you can get this product from John Lewis, debenhams which I've found so far the price of this product is £45.00 hope this helps I defiantly recommend to try it!

BB creammmm....

I brought this product yesterday and tried it out last night as I went on a night out I wore it under my foundation and it lasted ages on me I didn't need to keep applying powder either, is medium coverage covered my redness and blemishes well and really brightened my skin, I think the colour range is not to good though it's either light or medium I went for light and it just about matched my skin tone I wouldn't wear it on its own but defiantly with a foundation on top. 

I found this product in lidl believe it or not for £1.99! Bargain we'll worth trying out

Two favourite fragrances this month...

My top two fragrances this month have to be alien and Carmella by benefit , very wearable everyday fragrances both perfumes would be perfect for sweet scented lovers also the scent lasts for ages too.

Id describe alien as a musky scent with hints of sweetness not to over powering.

Carmella is more of a vanillery sweet fragrance but musky also!
