Mini Lush haul

Ok let's start with the fact that I've been inactive for quiet a while. School has been hella busy, but I'm back (fineally!). To get back into blogging I thought why not go to a shop that is loved in the Blogging/Youtube world: LUSH! Yippie, that shop is a pleasure to shop in and it smells de-li-cious! 

 

 

Number 1: Cinders bath bomb

I've linked all the products to the Lush website, it has an amazing lay-out and it contains all the information you need :). There you can find all of the ingredients and a description of the product. I chose the Cinders bathbomb because it just smells like autumn/winter. It's sweet but not in a sickly kind of way. You can definitely smell the cinnamon, these warm notes remind me of a cold winters day in front of the fire. It's like Christmas in a bath bomb. ( Yes I'm already very exited for Christmas!)

 

 Number 2: Santa Baby - here: Cherry Bibi

This is a very pigmented lip balm. It's supposed to be a lip balm that can be built up to a bright pop of colour. The consistency is more like a lipstick in a tub than a lip balm. As far as the pigmentation goes, it does pack a punch! The moisturising side of it will have to be tested during the next usages :). 

 

Number 3: Tea Tree Toner Tab 

This is a tiny little thing that you have to dissolve in warm water. e.g a bowl, sink. You then put your head over the bowl and cover it with a tea towel or so. This will purify and remove dirt from your pores. Afterwards you put the water with the dissolved tab into a container and keep it in your fridge. You can then use it for a week as a toner :). This was a free sample but they're not expensive to purchase.

This concludes my miniature Lush haul. It was just a simple little post to get into the swing of things again. I'll try to be a more consistent blogger but with the exams coming up won't promise a post a week. I am however very pleased to be back!  Happy Halloween everybody!

5 Product Face Challenge

I first saw this tag on Becca Rose's channel. I thought I would set myself the challenge and give it a try. * Challenge Accepted* . I did my best to create a full face of make-up with only these 5 products.

 

♦

 

Number One - Face 

The Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - 02 Cold Medium

I Um'd and Ur'd about whether to go for concealer or a light foundation that could double up as a concealer. In the end I wanted a really natural look so I went for just a concealer. This is what a go for on a daily basis anyway. 

♦

Number Two - Face

The Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - 001 Transparent

To set the concealer I just added some powder. I do need a powder because ain't nobody got time for shine. The one I usually go for is this one, it's a good'n! 

♦

Number Three - Eyebrows

 The Maybelline BrowDrama - Dark Blond

This bad boy adds colour to your brows whilst setting them in place so they don't go rogue during the day. It's a recent purchase but I really enjoy using it.

♦

Number Four - Lashes

 Maybelline The Falsies Mascara

If I had to choose one make-up product, it would be mascara. I love my eyes to look big and open, eye-catching. A mascara I would recommend to everyone is this one, it gives volume and it lengthens the lashes at the same time. Definitely worth the hype! 

♦

Number Five - Cheeks

The Sleek Faceform Palette - Fair

On a daily basis, when I go to school, I don't wear blush or contour/highlight but as it's still holiday I chose to go for a bit of enlightment, the middle one. I like a good glow to the skin and this highlighter provides just that.

I hope you enjoyed this challenge and I tag all of you to go and have a look at your make-up stash and try to 'make' your face with only five products.

My latest 'love its'.

Love its

This will be my first 'proper' beauty post. I say proper in the sense that it actually contains make-up-y bits and pieces, but it is by no means written properly as I don't really know what I'm doing. This post is about some beauty bits that I have been loving the past few months.

Numero uno: 

 The Rimmel Stay Matte foundation. I've loved the powder for quite a while so I decided to buy the matching foundation as the summer was on it's way. I have an oily face so anything that claims to mattify the complexion is a winner for me. Before I bought it I went to look at some reviews and most of them were positive so I went ahead and bought it. I'm so glad I did! It is a mousse consistency and it is a light/medium coverage. For me it works wonders: it mattifies and was long lasting. This will be my most used base product for the summertime. 
 
Numero duo:
 The Dainty Doll mascara and eyeliner duo. The mascara is the product that has been on my lashes nearly everyday. This mascara is very natural as it's a brown mascara instead of a black one. It's not the most volumising or the most lenghtening but that wasn't what I was looking for. So this is a natural, made for pale girls mascara.

Numero tres:
 The Essence longlasting lipstick in 07, natural beauty. This is the first nude-ish lipstick that I've ever owned. I really wanted an everyday, easy to wear lipstick, and I immediately thought of Mac's Cream Cup but I just couldn't justify paying €18 for a lipstick just yet. I didn't know if a colour like this would suit me so I decided to buy a cheaper, drugstore one. So glad I did! I fell in love at first application. It's a 'your lips but better' kind of colour that looks natural and effortless. I'm not daring enough to wear a bright red out just yet so this is a good way to start wearing lipstick out and about.It applies wonderfully and it has an amazing colour pay-off  And even better it was only €2.40. 


Numero quattro:
The Barry M Gelly High-shine nailpaint  in blueberry. Wonderful application, long lasting and the shade is just stunning. A powdery blue colour that is lovely for summer. There really isn't much more to say about this product, just that I really love it.

Numero cinco:
The Inecto Pure Coconut hair serum. My hair is long, frizzy and very dry so I need all the help I can get. This serum does the job for me. It isn't a magic product but it has tamed my hair. I just pop in on my toweldried hair after a shower and voila. It can be applied on dry hair to tame the frizz even more.   

So this concludes my latest love its. Let me know if there are some things that I really need to give a try!
