Recreate the look. Concert.



AHHHHHHH It's me...

I don't always like to post pictures of myself but i am trying to be more confident at it. So i thought i would do a post on the items i used to create this look. I was going out for a concert when i wore this look.

Top - Primark - No Longer Avaliable
Necklace - Forever21 - No Longer Avaliable


Foundation - Rimmel Match Perfection in True Ivory - Best match foundation, love it, quick and easy to apply and is extremely affordable. Needed touch up of powder but was fine.
Blush - Sleek Blush in Coral - My favourite blush, the colour pay off as you can see is utterly amazing. Was still popping at the end of the night.
Under Eye Concealer - Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch - Makes my under eyes pop and is a beautiful concealer. Lasted all evening
Power - Body Shop All in One Face Base in 93704 - Kept my foundation topped up through the night. 
Concealer - Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - Great for hiding spots and red blotches.  Began to fade after dancing but expected.
Lips - Rimmel Apocalips in Nova - Best bargin lip laquer and the colours really pop, brilliant. Stayed on all night.
Eyebrows - Soap and Glory archery Tint and Pencil - Really easy product to shape and tint, best product for my brows. Never budged
Mascara - Benefit They're Real Mascara - Hard to see with my glasses but honestly, lengthens and did not run during the show. 

Hope you liked the look and hope you can recreate it.

Products of the Month - Sleek Blush trio's and Tanya Burr Lipglosses



I've been really impressed by Sleek and by Tanya Burr's Lip-glosses, their fantastic low price and high quality Is beyond impressive and because of that i have chosen these as my products of the month.


The two palettes featured were the first two that sleek produced and have gone on to make more shades. 

The Pink Lemonade palette has been on my wishlist to get for this year and I was lucky to be gifted it and I cannot be more impressed. The colour pay off is perfect for these winter months and my face looks beautifully flushed. Two of the blushes are a matt finish and the middle is cream, this is a great starter palette for anyone who is not sure how they feel about cream blush but is a current lover of the matt finish.
 The Califon.I.A this is my second palette as i used the other and hit pan last summer. This is cream blush heaven, with one matt blush, these are perfect for when you are out in the heat and the cream blush makes it easy to apply and doesn't sit heavy on the face. The colour pay off gives you the perfect summer glow.


The quality of the packaging is really great, a little hard to open which is great for these little fingers who dare to ruin your make up and they ensure no dirt and dust can get in. They also both come with a HUGE mirror which is perfect for application. 

I cannot speak highly of these palettes and are a must for all beauty lovers. They are currently £9.99 at Superdrug and Boots.


The Tanya Burr Lip Glosses have also been a favourite of mine this month. They are such high quality for such a low price and come in soo many shades. I currently own three of the shades from her collection. 


Champagne Toast is one i ordered because i saw Tanya wore it in a video, and then became confused by it. The shade does look a little off putting and didn't look at all like the one in her video, but as soon as i applied it, i knew it was perfect. The shade looks dark but in fact it is very nude with sparkle. Perfect for a party i was going to at the time and i got so many compliments. 

Just peachy is a new one i was gifted this christmas and again this looks beautiful. It is a really lovely nude like pink which really compliments my skin tone, again i wasn't sure on the shade when i first swatched it, but on my lips it looks perfect. 

Aurora is my favourite of the three and as soon as i saw this on Tanya's Lips in a video i just had to have it. It is the perfect shade for my lips and is a beautiful pink glittery colour. My lips are naturally quite pink, hence my hesitation with just peachy and this one accents them so well and gives them the perfect sparkle. 

I love the consistency of these lip glosses and the smell is soo lovely, they literally smell like strawberry laces, which is so perfect. So many people love skincare for their smell but when your lipgloss or lip balm smell you are instantly happy. I haven't yet found the terrible tackiness you get with some lip glosses which is fantastic for those windy days. 

You can find these at £6.99 at Superdrug, Feelunique and cloud10 beauty.

Beauty Product / Skincare Wishlist - Jan 2015

There are so many products out there and there are a few I wish to try and get my hands on this year. This list is some of the items I hope to try out and purchase this year. 


Clinique Take the day off Cleansing Balm - £22.00 - I love the Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm which retails for £36.00 but this year as I am hoping to pass my driving test I am looking for cheaper alternatives for my skincare which are rated just as good. This cleansing balm has had a lot of hype and being £14 cheaper I will be picking this up once my Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm has left my mits.




ZOEVA - Golden Luxury Brush Set - €65 - At the moment I have so many odd brushes and i really need a complete set and a lot of these brushes are just what i need. I will be saving for this set this year, the quality and price is very good in comparison with the sigma brush sets which can set you back a good £100+. Hopefully having this set too will allow me to purchase less odds and end brushes from Eco Tool and the Basic Real Techniques brushes which I seem to ruin in a year or so.




La Roche Posay Serozinc - £8.50 - IT'S FINALLY COMING TO THE UK!!! This will most likely be one of my first purchases of the year and as i adore La Roche Posay as a brand i cannot wait to get my hands on this. I love Toner's and Mists and lately I have started to look at using these more and more so this product will fit right into my collection. 





Naked and the Naked Two Palette's - £37.00 - Yes they break your bank but these Palette's are amazing. I own the third one but I feel a little lost with it. It works a lot on some of my other palettes like my sleek palette and my lose colours but i feel having these two would really allow me to use number three to the max. If i only get one of these this year i would be very happy.





Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask £23.00 - This is an unrealistic dream for a mask this year because of the price, however we can all have wishes right? I adore Charcoal mask's and I would love to give this one a try. I currently use the boots bionics one and i am in love with it, it really clears up my skin and i would like to see what the differences are between that and this Origins one. 



Origins Make a Difference Plus+ moisturiser - £34.50 - I have been looking for a new Moisturiser to try and this one looks like it could be the perfect one for me, the reviews i have read are perfect for my skin type. I feel that my skin would heal quicker with this as compared to my Dr Organic Moisturiser which is good but i feel at times it takes a while to heal my dry skin. Expensive but most good Moisturiser's are. I think more than the mask i will be definitely saving up for this one this year. 

Sleek Blush Palette In Pink Lemonade  £9.99 - I have this set in California and i absolutely love it, however i really would love this set more for the winter months as the California set is more of a summer colour set. The shades in this are perfect and have two shimmer matte shades and the middle is a cream finish. I love Sleek Blushes, in my opinion the best on the market so expanding the small collection i have would be perfect with this set.


L'oreal Paris True Match Foundation £9.99 - I feel like i am still after the path to find the perfect budget liquid foundation and this one for sure is next on my list. I always have issues with finding the perfect shade and something that will last more than a few hours. I have heard this is a great dupe for the Georgio Armani Foundation which is way out of my price range, so I think this one will have to enter into my life to test out my highly critical liquid foundation ways. 



Dove Pure Dry Oil Shampoo - £5.99 - I am still on the quest to find the perfect shampoo and i have heard a lot about this dove range. I have a lot of issues with shampoo and i can never find the right one for me, they either make my hair go brittle or too greasy, i think drying one with an oil formula may fix this issue so i think i'll give this dove one a good try this year. 

And these items are on my wishlist, if i am lucky to get my mit's on these item i am sure i will review these on my blog. I will repost a wishlist throughout the year as I discover new products that strike my attention. In the mean time, What are you're wish list items for this year? Leave me a comment below :)
