Review | ELF brushes

Hey beauties! Today I thought I’d share my top 7 ELF brushes and do a little review… Now I’m sure we all know ELF by now, but if you don’t, it’s a budget make up company. You can purchase products and tools from their online store and certain shops in the USA. Products start at £1.50 which is extremely cheap, anyway… Here are some of my favourite brushes…  Studio Powder Brush – £3.50 This brush is from their studio range, meaning that products start at £3.50, slightly more expensive than their £1.50 professional range and I’ve found them to be better quality. This…

Products I Regret Buying

Collection 2000 Total Colour Trios I have three of these in the shades 14 Ametrine, 20 Eclipse and 26 Mocha Choc. I really do not like these, probably the worst quality eye shadows I own, the pigmentation sucks and they are extremely chalky. I particularly hate Eclipse (the first trio on the picture) It’s completely chunky glitter, not a good look when it’s constantly all over your face. When you blend them they turn to nothing which saddens me as I really like the shades in the pan. Luckily these weren’t expensive, a couple of pounds at the max. Maybelline Dream…

Tutorial | Facial Superficial Cleanse

Hey beauties! So you guys may have seen my previous beauty related tutorials such as my basic manicure and my basic pedicure posts, so I though I’d do something similar, a facial post. Facials are a great way to keep your skin clean and fresh. They’re also an amazing method of pampering! So here is how to do a Superficial Cleanse… What you will need: Eye make up remover Cleanser Toner Moisturiser A head band Damp cotton pads Cotton buds Some tissues Step 1: After putting on the head band, take two cotton pads, half them and place one under…

Review | VIVO Beauty Balm in Light

Hey beauties, today I shall be reviewing the VIVO Beauty Balm…   What it claims “Inspired by Asian BB Creams, designed to give a great coverage while also concealing and priming the skin, the new Beauty Balm is a formula that delivers more than just a standard foundation. While most foundations can be slippery and somewhat oily on the skins surface, the Beauty Balm is designed to leave a softer, silkier feel that doesn’t feel like foundation. It can be worn as a thin layer to even tone, or can be built up to create great coverage that lasts all day…

All About The Skin

Hey beauties! Now today I thought I’d talk about something we all have, Skin. Now I recently wrote a post titled, All about the nails. So I thought I’d do a similar one on the skin, again, I hope I don’t bore you to death! Skin structure We have 3 main layers of skin, the Epidermis, the Dermis and the Subcutaneous layer, also know as the fatty layer. The Epidermis This is the top layer of skin. It has five layers with in, the Stratum Corneum, this is where the skin sheds. The Stratum Lucidum, this is where light passes through. It contains…

Review | ELF Shimmer Eyeliner

Hey beauties! Today I shall be reviewing the ELF Shimmer Eyeliner Pencils which I got in my recent ELF haul.   Price Each liner cost just £1.50 which is next to nothing. I got these from the ELF website with free shipping. That’s the good thing with ELF, they’re always coming out with different codes which allow you free shipping, free gifts, etc, etc. Oh and the fact that they are extremely cheap is awesome too! Packaging The packaging is your basic liner, with a sharpener attached to the lid. Now I’m not a fan of it. Once you sharpen them,…
