Summer Eye Styles (Colour Pop)

Hi guys! Recently theirs been a lot of colour being worn on the eyes and I think it's a really pretty trend, so here I've created some looks that are easy to do and you could recreate!

1st Look Line Of Blue

Firstly I lined my bottom water line with Collection 200's Glam Metallics coloured Liquid Liner in '4 - Groupie' and I just smudged it out lightly with my finger. After that I applied just a Black Kohl pencil to my lash line, I made this quite thick to stand out, and finally I just added one coat of my MUA Extreme Curl mascara. This look took me no more than 5 minutes to do, yet I think it's pretty for the summertime! 

2nd Look Pink Party!

I first applied a coat of pale purple eye shadow all over her eyes, and added a bright pink into her Crease. Both of the eye shadows where from the Collection 200 Poptastic pallet. I then used the Rimmel Eye Glistener pencil in '100- Girls Only' along the lower lash line, all the way along and then just smudging it out with my finger. I then used the Rimmel Glam'eyes mascara in Black.  I think this is a pretty look for both day and night, you can really use so many different combinations of eye shadows , or creams to match whatever your wearing.

Look 3 Rio Carnival!

For this final look I swept a pale yellow-green across the lid and blended it out, I then worked a bright green into the crease, and brought it under the eye, only half way along. Finally I then used a purple (yes... Purple!) mascara on both top and bottom lashes. The eye shadows once again where from the collection 2000 Poptastic pallet, and the Mascara is also by Collection 2000 and can be seen in a previous haul, so check that out! I called this look Rio Carnival because its so bright and tropical colours! I think it looks so pretty!

NYC -Appleicious Review

Hey Guys!

Today I picked up the NYC Appleicious Glossy Lip balm, as I've seen it before and I looked really cute to carry around, and it was also extremely cheap at just £1.49, down from £2.49!

The balm was available 4 colours, however I do believe their are 5 different shades. I picked up 'Big Apple Red' which shows to be a deep red around the outside and the apple core is a pale pink colour.  When the glossy balm is applied it isn't true to colour, more like a tint, however I didn't expect it at all to be bright and opaque as it is a balm.  

It claims to have a fruity apple sent, however I'm not to sure of that! It definitely has an apple like scent but it is quite a synthetic sent. It's smooth to apply to the lips and leaves a glossy finnish. Oh also, it doesn't taste that great! Not like apples at all! Quite.... Chemical-ish...

It's not putting me off it though! I do love this balm because I love the finnish of it! 

I give this lip balm 7/10! It's great value for money, but I'm just not that keen on the scent!

THE YOUTUBERS CHALLENGE!

Just come across this! It looks sooo fun! Here we go!

Favourite Boy Youtuber - 

This has got to be Sam Pepper! He's so funny, and I love all of the pranks he plays on people in public places like dressing up as a giant pigeon or the lift pranks!

Favourite Girl Youtuber -

Tanya Burr all the way! I find Tanya so inspirational, I love all of her videos and they always inspire me to experiment with makeup. Tanya is living my dream life style incorporating fashion and makeup!

Favourite Video -

Ooohhh this is hard! I have so many! I love watching Florida Vlogs, and Disney Vlogs as I've been lucky enough to have 4 holidays their now, and I love it! They bring back so many great memories, and seeing other people experiencing the rides and the things I've experienced is so cool! However my all time favourite video has to be the "My Blackberries not working" sketch by The One Ronnie! It's so funny! Oh actually No! It's going to be the Daily Grace's video of the Sexy 911 Calls, me and my friends crack up at it all the time! We're always quoting Grace haha!

Couple you ship/would ship -

I love they Shaytards and think ShayCarl & Colette are super awesome and funny, however the couple I know everyone is waiting to happen is Zalfie! Zoe Sugg & Alfie Deyes! They are both so cute together, I think they would make the perfect couple!

Youtuber That Always Makes You Laugh? -

Sam Pepper or Joe Sugg (ThatcherJoe) !

Favourite Bromance?! -

Malfie! Ooohhh or Sam & Louis from Food/FunForLouis... :)

First Youtuber You Ever Watched? -

I can't actually remember... Is that bad!? I think I just used to use youtube for watching music videos, and I remember my dad showing me a video of a chubby guy pretending to be and sing Shakira! Haha, that was pretty early on I saw that, but as for Youtubers the first people I really started to watch was probably Louise from Sprinkle of Glitter of Fleur from FleurDeForce!

Favourite Collaboration!? -

I love anything with Grace Helbig & Mamrie Hart! It's always guaranteed to be hilarious!

Pair you wish would collaborate? -

Daily Grace & Tanya Burr! Or the Shaytards and Daily Grace!

Youtuber you've met (if any)? -

I've met Louis from Food/FunForLouis & Kate Gowing who is Tanya Burrs bestfriend who's been in some of her Videos and also has some cooking videos on youtube! Also I have 3 friends who make videos so I guess they count too right!? I went to the Tanya Burr Meetup but so many people turned up the police came so everyone had to go and people were collapsing but I did see her!

#1 Youtube You'd Love To Meet!? - 

Daily Grace! I think I'd die! I wouldn't know what to say I'd be so star struck! I'd also love to meet alot of the British beauty Youtuber girls like Fleur (FleurDeForce), Louise (SprinkleOfGlitter), Becky (TalkBeckyTalk), Holly (TwinkleLashes), Kate (Dollybowbow), Zoe (Zoella280390) theirs so many!

The biggest Directioner Youtuber in your opinion!? -

Alfie Deyes haha!

Youtuber You'd Swap Bodies With?! -

Probably Fleur from FleurDeForce or Holly from TwinkleLashes :)

Youtuber You Best Relate To!? -

Probably Zoella280390 because not only is she from the UK but she has also had to deal with anxiety, which is something I've had to deal with and still do, so it's comforting to know other people are dealing with it too.

Favourite Picture of your favourite Youtubers Together!? -

I love this picture because I love all of the people in it and it's just funny & silly :)

Makeup Model!

I often beg all of my family to do their makeup for them, and they normally agree! I've done my mums makeup for concerts she's attended and I'm doing the makeup for my uncles wedding in the next few months! Today my friend Shan agreed for me to experiment on her! 

All Shan specified was a pale lip and mascara, so did this!

 As she had a tan, I used the shade 2 of the collection 2000 foundation, setting it with a Wet n' Wild finishing powder, which doesn't have a shade on it annoyingly! 

I used a Milani bronzing palette to contour Shan cheek bone, and Mac's PeachyKeen blush on her cheeks. 

I did a smokey eye look on her lids using two Barry M dazzle dusts, adding a slight shimmer. Shan admits she never wears eyeshadow so I didn't want to make it too harsh. I brought the dark blue under her outer eye slightly too add more depth, and then finished it off with the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Lycra Mascara in Black.

On her lip I used my new Lip Palette off Ebay (which happened to be extremely affordable but great!) which I applied with a lip brush, and covered over the top in a MUA sheer lipgloss to add a nice shine.

Over all I think this look really looked nice, and I'm thankful of Shan for allowing me to experiment on her! 

The foundation XPinkMacX applied wasn't too heavy and it was a good shade match for my tan so it blended in nicely, it wasn't at all patchy, and made my skin look smooth. As for the eye shadow, I don't tend to wear it on a normal day to day basis, however I liked the smokey eye and think it would look nice on a night out. The bronzer used didn't make me look orange at all and was quite natural looking. I loved the colour used on my lips, and although I usually wear matte lipsticks, and this was glossy it made my lips look plumper, and fuller. I'd definitely like xPinkMacX to do my makeup again as she was gentle and didn't take too long.

 

Pink Barry M Limited Edition Polish!

Thinking of getting the Limited Edition Barry M Polish!? Well if I was you I'd save myself the £3.99 for something else!

I'm totally in love with most of the Barry M nail paints! I think they are great, however I purchased the neon pink and I'm not all that impressed!

I think the colour is gorgeous however it doesn't really come across very nicely with one, or even two coats, I think the formulation of the polish is too watery. After applying 4 coats of the polish (YES 4!) it still wasn't as opaque as I like my polish usually but it was okay. It didn't have much of a shine to it either, so ill definitely need a top coat of clear polish too.

(After 4 coats) 

Sorry for it being messy by the way! It's getting quite late!

Overall I'd give this polish 4/10

Pretty colour & bottle however when applied its a bit of a let down!

Beauty Bargain haul!

I've just got back from going shopping and as usual I dragged my mum round all of my favourite shops;  Boots, Superdug etc.

I didn't end up spending a fortune however I did get some pretty cool items at good prices!

From Superdrug I picked up 2 of the MUA Power Pout tint & balm in Justify which is a orangey toned colour and Broken Hearted which is a pretty berry red. They normally retail for £3 each, which is still very cheap, however they had a deal on all of the Lip Pro makeup, so it was two items for £4! So I saved £2! They are basically copy's of the Clinique Chubby Sticks, at a fraction of the price! I've just applied one, and they have a creamy texture to them which is nice! I think I'm going to like these alot!

Next I went to Wilkinson's where I headed straight to the makeup! In some Wilkinson's at the moment their are deals on selected Collection 2000 products being half price! I like collection 2000 I think they have some really good practical bits of makeup, especially for doing other people's makeup. I wanted a coloured mascara for a while now and they had the Extreme Coloured lengthening mascara in purple for just £1.47! You can't got wrong! They normally retail for £2.99 each so I was pleased to see that cheap! I haven't used it yet, and while I'm not expecting it to be amazing, hopefully it will add a splash of colour on to my lashes. The next thing I picked up was the Collection 2000 Metallic Cream eyeshadow. I got this in number 1- Gold Rush. I find it similar to the Maybelline Colour Tattoos in texture however it's applied with a doe foot applicator. I think this will be nice just to apply quickly instead of going all out with a smokey eye, or just as a base! And again at just £1.47 you can't go wrong!

Finally from Boots I found lots and lots of Barry M Dazzle Dusts in the Clarence! I love potted pigments so this excited me a lot! On the Barry M website these are being sold for £4.59 each, they also still stock the colours I got so their not end of line, and theirs nothing wrong with them either, so when they were reduced to just £1 each, YES £1! I was shocked! I only picked up 3, but I wish now I'd picked one of each colour up. The three colours I got are Petrol Black, Mushroom & Gold Iridescent (Which isn't gold at all so I'm slightly confused by that name

 I hope you enjoyed this little haul! It's surprising what little bargains you can find when you look around!

 

My Top 5 Youtubers!

Hey Guys! 

As you may or may not know I am a youtube obsessive! I'm on youtube for several hours a day,which probably isn't very healthy but it's slightly addictive! I'm subscribed to many youtube accounts, but I have a few that I will always click on first to see if they have any recent uploads and I'm here today to share them with you!

1. Tanya Burr (Tanya Burr & tanyasvlogsandhauls)

I've been watching Tanya Burr for at least 2 years now. She is an amazing makeup artist who uploads makeup tutorials on her main channel and on her second channel she uploads vlogs & hauls, as stated in the name! Tanya gives really great advice and she explains very easily what to do. I've found some makeup tutorials on youtube to be very intimidating however Tanya seems to be such a lovely person, and you end up feeling as if you know her and that she's not just a stranger making videos on the Internet! I have seen Tanya in person, however didn't get to speak to her as it was so busy but Tanya really cares about her fans and their are many people who watch her videos! Today after 4 years on youtube Tanya reached 1 million subscribers! This is an amazing milestone and she deserves every subscriber in the world!

2. Zoe Sugg (Zoella280390)

Zoe from Zoella280390 is one of the sweetest youtubers out their! Not only is she really cute and funny but she makes really entertaining videos too, from Vlogs to Hauls to Tags to Challenges, Zoe does it all! At 1,400,000+ followers Zoe has passed the million mark, which isn't really that surprising! Unlike some youtubers she is very good at constantly uploading videos which means you don't have to wait for months to see the next video! Zoe offers fashion advice too and often appears on other channels such as the Very channel, which is an online UK store, offering fashion advice. She seems very very down to earth and communicates with her fans via social networking sites which gives people the opportunity to talk with her :)

3. Louis Cole (Food For Louis, Fun For Louis)

Louis Cole has two youtube channels, one containing food challenges of him eating disgustingly repulsive foods and the second being of vlogs of his exciting life! Louis travels to many different counties and by watching his vlogs you can follow him around and see what he's up to. In the past their has been some controversy about the food challenges Louis takes part in, as he once eat a live goldfish. This doesn't stop Louis however continuing to eat gross foods such as a live tarantula, lizard and cow bile! I met Louis in London, and had a photo taken with him and a short chat, he was super nice, and just like what he is on youtube!

4. Fleur (FleurDeForce, FleurDeVlog & BrideDeForce)

Unlike Tanya Burr Fleur isn't a makeup artist, however she is a beauty guru, which basically means she's pretty awesome at makeup! She often uploads vlogs, hauls and tags as well as bridal themed videos on her wedding-y channel! Fleur has got 728,000+ subscribers on her main channel, and films regularly. Her two gorgeous puppies, Squidge & Treacle often make appearances too as well! As well as her daily life, you also get to follow Fleur along when she goes on holiday and too exciting places! It's great watching these type of vlogs as you really get to know what these people are like :)

5. Rhiannon (DollFaceRee & RhiannonVlogs)

Rhiannon has a really funny sense of humour which you can see on her videos! She's uploaded so awsome videos which are funny such as the sister tag, Christmas hauls and holiday vlogs. Although she hasn't got as many subscribers as some of the other youtubers her videos are just as good and really need to be seen by more people! She seems really lovely & has amazing taste in makeup! Rhiannon took part in a beauty/fashion series on the VideoJug channel!
