Make up tip #4

If you have thin lashes, use a dryer mascara instead of a wet mascara. A dryer formula will allow you to keep combing through without your lashes clumping leaving you with full evenly spread out lashes with no clumps. It also helps to wiggle the mascara brush for volume and to reduce clumps further!

Prom time!

Hi everyone so it's getting to that time of year again where prom is upon us and if your unorganised like many people I have some great budget items which I'm sure you will love as much as I do and for the price I think there fab!

First of all the dress:

Newlook mint green neck overlay- £24.99

Asos pearl embellishment- £31.50

Asos l swing dress with crotchet trim- £22.00

If you are looking for more expensive dresses ax Paris and chi chi london are great also Coast have some great dresses but are more £70+

Shoes:

This spring/summer I have loved the style of shoes that have been in our high street stores especially the strappy heels I think they look smart and dressy but look so nice with jeans too so there an all round win win!

Newlook- nude pointed shoe £14.99

Newlook- stone embellishment ankle front heels- £24.99

Coast-Michela shoes- £65.00

I think new look and asos have some brilliant shoes at the minute but if your looking to pay a bit more then Coast have a great variety too.

Finally an accessory is a must the ultimate clutch bag and some sparkle can make a look. My favourite high street shop as always for jewellery is accessorize they have a range of pieces which are under £20 

Dermalogica clean start breakout clearing kit

Hi everyone so recently I purchased dermalogica clean start breakout clearing kit and I thought I would share a little bit of a review with you. When I first bought the kit at £23.50 I was a bit apprehensive because I go to a salon where I have a facial and they use the products, so talked me into clean start and for the price I wondered if it was actually worth it. I'm happy to say I absolutely loved it, if you suffer with a breakouts it's definitely worth the money. I get the occasional breakout and it cleared them almost straight away also to say that the bottle is quite small you only need a little drop of the face wash as it lathers up really well and spreads all of the face. The toner is also great when I first looked at it I was quite excited as I had never really come across a spray toner but it's so refreshing and the mist actually feels like it soaks in pot your face unlike some spray toners. The overnight and daytime treatment I was shocked by, because I didn't think it would make a difference but I had a red spot and put the overnight treatment on my face with my normal moisturiser underneath and when I woke up in the morning it was still there but looked nearly unnoticeable. Overall I really did like the product and have now purchased the products in full size which in my opinion are quite good value for money if you would like to look at purchasing then I've included the link below to the dermalogica website:

Frittata burger!

Hi everyone so at the start of my blog I said I would also be sharing with you all lifestyle things too and I went food shopping yesterday at a new morrisons near my house and picked up one of their free magazines. In the magazine there are some great recipes and one of my favourites is the frittata burger which I'm going to make very soon but for now I thought I would share the recipie as it is getting towards summer now and it reminds me off a beautiful summer dish plus it's great for everyone as it is vegetarian.

Serves 4 and can be made in just over 1hr.

2tbsp olive oil 

2 red peppers 

160g baby spinach

6 eggs, beaten

100g crumbly cheese

3 salad onions, trimmed and chopped

1 ciabatta bread, cut into 4 pieces

4tbsp tomato chuney to serve(optional)

1. Heat the oven to 200c/ 180c fan/Gas 6. Grease an 18cm square baking tin with 1tbsp of the oil.

2. Place the whole peppers on a baking sheet and brush with the remaining oil. Roast for 30 minutes until the skins begin to become a little soft. Transfer to a bowl, cover and leave for 5 mins until cool enough to handle, then peel the skins, remove seeds and slice. Turn the oven down to 180c/160c fan/Gas 4.

3. Meanwhile, place the spinach in a colander and pour over boiling water until it wilts. Leave for a few minutes, until cool enough to handle, then squeeze out the excess water and roughly chop. 

4. Season the eggs and stir in the cheese, salad onions, spinach and peppers. Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 20-25 mins. To serve, cut the frittata into 4, sandwhich in a piece of ciabatta and add a spoonful of tomato chutney. 

Each serving does contain 494 calories, a lot however it can be a summer treat!

Summers coming!!

Hey everyone so summer seems to be approaching fast now and seen as the weather doesn't quite think so I've decided to tell you about a product which is meant to be amazing!! Which is the fakebake airbrush fake tan it's a spray on self tan, you just apply soft light downward strokes and after each stroke/coat decide on how dark you want your tan, if darker apply another coat. Remember always exfoliate your skin first to remove dead skin cells and also for an even tan. 

You can buy a 120ml for £7.99 or a 210ml depending on the website for £25.00 be careful because in stores they will charge more! 

If your not going to use it for example every week I would personally buy the 120ml because you won't need a lot each time.

Make up tip! #3

Hi guys so I have another make up tip,when applying foundation try to do quick downward brush strokes this gives you very little visible brush strokes. Also if you want to distribute your foundation evenly egg sponges are really good,you just dab a bit of foundation around your face then keep dabbing it in for a great even coverage. 

If you are wanting to get one I found one for £1.65! check it out here: egg make up sponge

Essie nail polish review

Hey everyone as promised I said I would update you on how i got on with the Essie trophie wife nail polish, overall it lasted about 4 days before it started to chip. I love essie as they have some beautiful colours which in my opinion are different to other nail polishes however, I think they last as long as others and for £7.99 I think they are quite expensive so if your willing to pay that then you can get some really georgeous colours but basically they last as long as any other nail polish.

Some good topcoats are:

• Opi rapidry topcoat-£8.41
• Bourjois 1 second topcoat-£5.99
• Sally Hansen diamond shine top and base- £8.69

If you click on the topcoats listed above it will take you to the websites I have found which have the best price for each topcoat.

Make up tip! #2

When trying a lipstick tester instead of swatching it on the back of your hand which most of us do to test the colour. Swatch it on your fingertips because the texture of your finger tips is a close texture to your lip texture so it will give you a better idea on the colour and how long lasting the lipstick is.

Essie trophie wife

Here it is guys this is the Essie Trophie wife a georgeous metallic sea green I will let you know later how long lasting it is. 

Whats everyone's favourite essie colour? Please comment below :-)

Breakouts Myth...

Myth- if you are getting breakouts the product should be thrown away.

Breakouts always depend on the products you are using. If you have switched to a new skin product e.g cleanser it's normal to get a few breakouts because it's your skin adapting also if you have a facial or use a detox mask a facial's job is to bring the impurities out of your skin which it does by bringing them to the surface, so breakouts can be normal just stick with the product a week or two if your breakouts are turning red and sore after two weeks maybe stop and try something different.

Make up tip! #1-moisturiser

Instead of buying a primer to put on before applying powder or foundation, moisturiser works just as good if not better because it's hydrating your skin while working to stop the foundation from blocking your pores and it's cheaper! But let it soak in thoroughly before applying or it will thin out your make up.
