I got a delivery!

As you may have seen from my previous post, I love deliveries! The same day I got my MUA products, I received another delivery which I was even more excited about...

I finally got my Real Techniques brushes!

I went on Amazon just to have a nosey (finding new beauty products) when it came up as 'Recommended' for me. Straight away I clicked on the link and it brought the Core Collection Kit on for £16.49!! 

I received it the day after (the perks of Amazon Prime) and they are my favourite beauty product I own now. The brushes are so soft and they work fantastically, I can't big them up enough. They are designed by Samantha Chapman and she created a video to give you a guide on how to use them. Click the link below if you want to have a look.

There's 4 brushes (from left to right) : - Contour brush, Pointed Foundation brush, Detailer brush and Buffing brush. It also comes in a handy case to protect them or show them off (like I've put them on the picture above).

I highly recommend these brushes and for £16.49, they're such a bargain.

Thankyou for reading, speak again soon!

Makeup Academy Haul/Review!

I've heard lots about this MUA so I thought I'd try some of their products out, and whilst I was trying them out I thought I'd be nice and share my thoughts with you!

My first impressions was WOW, CHEAP! All their products were such low prices, but I wondered whether they'd be any good quality because they're not a lot of money...

I got my delivery the other day (I get super excited when deliveries arrive- I have a sad life) and they all came together in one cardboard box filled with bubble wrap. Who doesn't love bubble wrap?! After acting like a child at Christmas and popping the bubbles I actually remembered why I had this box in the first place, NEW MAKEUP!!

The first product I'll have a natter about is their Ready-to-wear Brush-on concealer from their Fashionista range

I use this for my dark under-eye circles (so annoying), it doesn't totally erase them but it lightens and fades them which I'm happy about because I hate them! It has a brush on the end so you can spread the concealer evenly over the places you need and it's just handy. This retails at £1.50.

Next is Makeup Academy Matte Lipstick

I got these in the colour 'Scarlet Siren' (the red one) and 'Wild Berry' (the purpley one). When I got them I thought WOW the colours looked ace at the bottom, but they don't go like that on the lips. I was abit disappointed with these 'cause I've been wanting some bold colours for a while, and these just didn't work for me. These retail at just £1 each.

 I also got their Maxi Volume Mascara Big Lash Impact from their Fashionista range

This mascara has a brush applicator which I haven't used in a long time, I've been getting plastic applicator mascaras. I was quite impressed with this mascara because it made my lashes look really long and I didn't have to layer lots of it on. This retails at £1.50.

Another product was their Matte Perfect Loose Powder


I have never bought a loose powder before and I don't think I'll be raving about them anytime soon, I find them too messy! I got this in Translucent because I only wanted it to stop the fake shine look after I'd put foundation on. I prefer compressed powder like my Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Powder which has 16 hour coverage (it's really good). This retails at £2.30.





I've been wanting to try their Stippling Brush (F2) for ages but it always was out of stock

When it finally came in stock I didn't hesitate and added it straight to my shopping cart, I hate it when you buy a brush and the bristles are hard but this brush is lovely and soft, and I use it to blend my concealer. I love this brush but remember to wash brushes regularly because the bacteria builds up and you'll be wiping it on your face. This retails at just £3.



Last but by no means least is their Pro-Brow Ultimate Eyebrow Kit



I absolutely LOVE this, it's my favourite product out of them all! It has a pair of mini tweezers (I don't use them though I have my Avon ones which I use), an angled,double-sided mini brush, 2 shades of the eyebrow colour (a light one and a darker one), a highlighter and a gel. The choice of 2 colours means that you can  choose which one suits you most or mix them to find your shade, and the gel sets the brow colour so you get lasting results. The highlighter can be put on the brow bone to make your brows stand out. This was the most expensive out of them all retailing at £3.50 which is still an absolute bargain!



Overall, I thought these products were great for the price and there's definitely some that I will be purchasing again when I run out! I spent £13.80 on 7 products which I don't think is bad at all, and I am happy with most of what I've got.

Visit their site and try them out for yourself: http://www.muastore.co.uk/

Hope you enjoyed and thankyou for reading :)

August Beauty Favourites!

So it's been the holidays and I've been a bit naughty because I've been buying LOTS of makeup/hair products. So I'd thought I'd share some of my favourites with you :)

First up is foundation, now I have 2 Rimmel foundations that I absolutely love, I have quite dry skin and these foundations work for me. 

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation

This foundation has a great coverage and is so easy to apply, I use a brush to apply my foundation so it blends well and looks even but you can rub in with clean fingers if you don't have a brush. I wear the shade classic beige as my face isn't very tanned but they do a wide range of shades to suit many. I wore this foundation for my prom in June and I loved it. It's currently around £6.99.

The next is Rimmel's Wake Me Up Foundation

This one is my most recent purchase, this foundation has an anti-fatigue effect which instantly makes you look awake and fresh. It has an illuminating effect to it as well which gives you that glowing, radiant look. Again, I use a brush to apply it to my face and it just gives me a nice glow. This is retailed around £8.99 so is slightly more expensive but is recommended by beauty bloggers such as Zoella.

Now onto concealer, my favourite one for this month has to be Technic's concealer with tea tree oil


This is in the form of a stick, it's great for dark, under eye circles giving a good coverage. I find it slightly peachy so I wouldn't use it for anywhere else on my face, it just covers my dark under eye circles nicely. It has tea tree oil in it which is just a booster, and it doesn't affect my eyes when I put it under them. I wear the light shade. This is quite cheap, pricing around £2.






I've got a few hair products that I love too, first is my Argan Oil Hydrating Hair Mask

I absolutely LOVE this, it's an intensive conditioning treatment with Moroccan Argan oil extract and it just does wonders for my hair. It has a mousse like consistency and I think it smells nice too. I use it after I've shampooed my hair and towel dried it, then I apply it all over my hair from root to tip and leave it on for around 10 minutes. It leaves my hair looking and feeling soft and hydrated. You get a 220ml tub for £4 which I think is a bargain!



Next are 2 shine sprays, V05's smoothly does it tame & shine spray and Schwartzkopf's shine tonic

This has featured in the V05 advert, it leaves my hair looking sleek. It has heat defence in it which is an  ultimate bonus as I'm always using heat  tools on my hair (I know I shouldn't but my hair is too frizzy to leave it natural). This is the more expensive out of the two but still not too pricey at around £3.50

Schwartzkopf's Shine Tonic is particularly for dry and damaged hair so if you have hair that isn't in the best of conditions this one is the one to use. It repairs hair as well as making it looking nice and healthy. Again a nice, cheap essential at around £1.50






My last product I will be mentioning is Messhead's Dry Shampoo

This is perfect for them busy days when you haven't got time to fully wash your hair, it takes away that greasy hair look and leaves hair feeling and smelling great. TIP: Make sure you brush it through your hair otherwise the product may make you look like you have grey hairs coming! Its only around £2 so you can't go wrong.














I hope you enjoyed this and I recommend any of these products.

Thankyou for reading!

Welcome!

Hello:)

I thought I'd tell you a little bit about myself seen as though this is my first blog... I'm 16 years old and I'm in LOVE with beauty, fashion and hair. I spend my days scrolling through the internet for new products and I'm keen on trying new things out, yes I know I'm sad. My inspirations for blogging are Zoella, SprinkleOfGlitter and Tanya Burr (check them out, they're fab)! I read and watch all their videos and I thought why not give it a go? 

I hope you enjoy my blog and I'm always open for POSITIVE feedback, negative ones will just be ignored because nobody has time for people like that... 

Speak to you soon xx
