Q and A

Hey lovelies, I just wanted to say a massive thank you to all, I reached 200 followers on my blog yesterday and I was so happy to know that people liked my blog and I appreciate all of you.

I was going to do a tag but Beautyblogpage suggested I do a Q and A so I thought I would do it instead, so I asked on twitter for questions.

- My go to foundation? I would probably say my Rimmel London 25 Hour Foundation but I'm always looking for new foundations to try, if you have any suggestions leave a comment below.

- Worst beauty habit? I would say I use makeup wipes to take my makeup off and I know that wipes don't get rid of all my makeup.

- What do I swear by for my skin care routine? I will cleanse, tone and moisturise and it will get rid of any makeup or inpurities on your face, so it will help you from getting spots.

- Which drugstore makeup brands do you like the most? I like MUA for there eyeshadows, blushers and lipsticks, Revlon for lip products and foundation, Rimmel London for foundation and lipsticks, L'oreal lip products, blushers and eyeshadows, N07 I like most of there products.

- Would you ever start making YouTube videos? I think I will do in the future but I think I need more confidence and a good camera but don't know if I would be any good at it.


- Whats your favourite moisturiser? I don't really have a favourite most moisturisers work for me so I would say either Simple or Neutrogena.

- Did you enjoy school/college? When I was at school I did like it apart from when I was bullied then I hated it, I didn't like college that much when I was doing A Levels because I found them very hard but I like college now doing Health and Social Care BTEC.

- What subjects do you take? Health and Social Care BTEC.

- Whats your favourite mascara and makeup brushes? My favourite mascara would be the Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Mascara and I love Real Technique makeup brushes.

- What are your favourite type of giveaways? I like makeup giveaways.

- Do you have a good eye for bargains? Yes I do I love bargains because being a student I can't afford expensive things.

- What's your favourite perfume? I love ghost perfume.

- When did you start blogging? I'm quite a new blogger only started in May.

- What inspired you to blog? I always loved watching YouTube video's and reading blogs and I've always loved beauty so I thought I would try blogging myself and now I love blogging.

- What advice would you give to bloggers? I always think you should be yourself and put your personality into your blog, give trueful reviews and post clear, big pictures.

- Top 5 bloggers? I have loads of favourites so I can't really choose 5 and I think everyone has an amazing blog because there all individual and unique to you.

Thank you for all the questions.

I might do another Q and A in the future so leave a comment below and will answer them next time.

Hope you liked the post.

So! Kitsch Jewellery Review

Hey lovelies, today is a review of some amazing jewellery, the lovely Clair the owner of So! Kitsch  kindly sent to me. Clair and me have become good friends and she is such a nice person.

All her jewellery is handmade which I think is great, all her pieces are quirky and unique.

I love this scrabble ring I've wanted one for ages but never found them, there personalised with your initial on, its re adjustable so it will fit everyone. There only £4.

M&M earrings, I loved these and Clair knew me so well and knew purple was my favourite colour, they come in red, orange, green, yellow, brown and black, there so cute. There also £4.

She has other jewellery- hello kitty earrings and ring, lego earrings and ring, card earrings, bow earrings, cupcake earrings and ring, rose studs, canned bracelet, seeing star bracelet, kitsch bracelets, heart earrings.

There all reasonable prices and great quality.

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub

Hey lovelies, if you saw in my recent haul I had the lush bubblegum lip scrub and I asked if you wanted a review and you did so I decided to do it.

I have the seen the lip scrub for ages and saw reviews on them and I didn't know whether to buy it or not because it is a bit pricey for £5.25 but I did buy it and I'm so glad I did.

It is perfect for these winter months when you have dry, flaky lips, it keeps your lips in good condition and helps make your lips look nice when you apply lipstick.

There is bubblegum, popcorn, and mint julips, I smelt them all and I thought bubblegum smelt the nicest so I decided to buy this one and I know a lot of people rave about bubblegum and the popcorn one.

I think it is quite pricey for the lips scrub and I've seen it's easy to make yourself your own lip scrub all you just need sugar and oil and whatever flavouring you want to put in so it would be the cheaper option and do exactly the same job.

All you need to do is apply it all over the lips, then in circular motion on the lips rub it in, it helps get rid of the flaky skin and then the rest of the lip scrub left on the lips you can lick it off and it tastes very nice and then apply a lip balm to keep your lips nice and soft and in good condition.

Overall I really love this product and is an essential in having the perfect lips.

What do you think to the lush lip scrubs do you like them?

Bekl Bracelet Smile Campaign Beat Bullying

Hey lovelies, I found Bekl bracelets through twitter and though it was a great campaign so I wanted to get involved so Rebecca very kindly sent me a bracelet. If you've read my blog you will have seen I was bullied myself and I wanted to help spread the message of the smile campaign for Beat Bullying.

The smile campaign is to help awareness of bullying and to try to stop bullying and raise money for the charity Beat Bullying.

Wear the bracelet with pride and help spread the positive message of keep smiling.

It's a cute bracelet and it's only £2.99 and a £1 from each bracelet is given to the charity Beat Bullying so everyone go buy one and help raise awareness of bullying and keep smiling, I think it's a worthy cause.

I just wanted to say thank you to Bekl bracelets to help me get involved in this smile campaign and hope you all do too, knowone should be bullied, lets help bring a stop to bullying.

Everyone lets wear these bracelets to help anti-bullying.

Small Haul

Hey Lovelies, I haven't done a haul in a while and I recently bought a few things over the past couple of weeks so I thought I would do a post on what I got.

Clothes

I got all these tops from International, the cross top was £11.99 i absolutely love this top and so does my sister she's currently taken it out with her, red and blue tops two for £10 these tops are quite see through and thin so you need to wear a vest underneath these are all casual tops and I will wear with jeans.

Jewellery

I like these sort of bracelets and have quite a few now these were from a little stall in my town centre and they were only £2.50 which is a great price, I think there really cute and I'm sure you get these sort of bracelets from anywhere.

Makeup

I really wanted to try the lush bubblegum lip scrub for ages I heard a lot of good reviews about it and wanted to try it for myself, so far I'm really liking it and might do a review on it if you want me to just leave a comment if you want me to, it was £5.25. maybelline color sensational cream gloss in red love £6.19 it was just an impulse buy I have the red lipgloss from mua but I just decided to buy it. I've always wanted to try something from nyx  so when I went into t k maxx and saw only a few products from nyx so I decide to buy the smokey look kit it was £5.99 which is a reasonable price you get 9 shadows and 2 lip products, I've tried some of the eyeshadows already they are pigmented and quite long lasting, if you want a review or look with the palette let me know in a comment and I will do.

Hope you enjoyed this little haul, I don't think I will be buying anything else for a while because I'm saving for Christmas and I might be going to London on a college trip for the day in December.
