Would You Rather? || The Company Edition

In August's edition of Company they had a little section of  'beauty banter' in which there were a few would you rather... questions. I thought this would be super fun to do as a blog post and make a difference from the beauty edition I've seen floating around. Be prepared, there are some rather odd questions!

 

Would you rather have hair that smells of seaweed OR skin that feels like sand?

Well I'm thinking hair that smells of seaweed because if you had sand like skin it would be really itchy and make it hard to wear clothes. Whereas if your hair smelt like seaweed people maybe a bit put of but at least it wouldn't irritate you all the time! Seaweed doesn't smell too bad...

 

Would you rather wear fake tan five shades too dark OR five shades too light?

I think for me it would be five shades too light because I really hate the TOWIE look and I'm not big on fake tan anyway!

 

Would you rather have a permanent mono-brow OR a perma-moustache?
Oh God- both would be so embarrassing! Eyebrows are such a central part to the face but maybe if you channelled Cara Delevigne you could work a mono-brow? I really don't want a permanent moustache!

Would you rather not wash your hair for a month OR not wear deodorant for a month?
I hate the look of greasy hair but no-one wants to smell! Just because you can't wear deodorant doesn't mean you can't wear body spray and just because you can't wash your hair doesn't mean you can't use dry shampoo. I've kind of worked my way round this one but I think I'd not wear deodorant because I've only used dry shampoo on day old hair and something tells me it wouldn't work so well after four weeks...

Would you rather get a really bad haircut OR get a really bad colour?
Hmmm, in our family hair doesn't grow particularly quickly so it would take ages for the cut to grow out but I could sort of disguise it with a pony tail or bun. I've never died my hair but if it went streaky ginger it wouldn't be a good look! I'm going to have to say haircut!

Would you rather wear vomit scented perfume OR an amazing smelling perfume that only attracts seagulls?
Whenever I smell vomit I wretch so maybe that wouldn't be the best idea. But then seagull attraction has never been on my to do list! Probably the second one because at least you'd smell nice!

Feel free to do this post and send me a link if you do!

A Big Huge Ginormous Thank you

Hello everyone, hope you're all well! About three weeks ago Sophie from SophieLouiseW contacted me to let me know that I had won her 100 follower giveaway! The next day a little package filled with all sorts of goodies (and a few extra bits and bobs) arrived and I just thought I'd take this chance to say thank you again! As part of my disclaimer, any of these products mentioned in other posts will be clearly marked with an asterix (*). You can read my full disclaimer HERE.

Oh I do like to be Beside the Seaside

Although some of the pictures below are edited, this one wasn't. The sea and sky really were that blue!

 

 

 

 

 

The following pictures are of inside the off-white beach hut above!

 

And of course no beach trip would be fulfilled without Company magazine!

 

Yesterday we (the family) decided to make an impromptu trip down to the beach! The weather was perfect, not 'I actually need a sun hat' hot or 'where's my coat' cold but somewhere in the middle. We forget to buy ice creams so I managed to fish some Magnums out of the freezer when we got home! I hope you all had a lovely weekend and I'll be back with a beauty post tomorrow! 

 

Toodlepip!

The Cream Team

 Hello everyone, hope you're all well! It goes without saying that I am a massive lover of anything cream. Ice cream, custard creams, cream blushes (we're talking Topshop here), yep I love cream. But it was only recently that I discovered cream eye shadows in both the stick and pot form. I'm usually quite lazy when it comes to eye shadow, so to find some products that apply with ease, last all day and never look 'too much', it's safe to say I'm just the slightest bit pleased!

 First we begin with something of a cult beauty classic in the form of Maybelline's 24hr Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze. This looks gorgeous blended all over the lid as a shimmery wash or as a base with other neutrals (I've been using the MUA Undressed palette) built on top to define the crease. I couldn't say if this lasted 24 hours but it certainly lasts all day without creasing or smudging and let's be honest who wants their eye shadow by their chin?* Not exaggerating- I've been there!*

 

If you haven't picked any of these up I don't know where you've been, but they retail for an impressive £4.99 from Boots- currently on 3 for 2.

 Moving on to a recent purchase, Collection's Work the Colour Eye shadow pencil in Vanilla Sky. Collection don't advertise this as a cream eye shadow but the long wearing and velvety formula are not dissimilar to what you would expect of a cream shadow. As always I've opted for a neutral shade and I've been wearing this in the inner third of the eyelid to brighten the eye and bring a casual daytime look together.

 

These are only £3.19 from Boots (free nail polish when you spend £4 or more on Collection) and I'll definitely be picking up Hot Chocolate and Vintage Blush soon!

 Last but not least we have Bad Girl Bronze from the Rimmel Scandaleyes Eye Shadow Stick range. This is probably my favourite out of the two crayon like shadows as I find these are easy to blend. The creamy formula means less tugging on eyelids (never a good thing) and more colour payoff. If there is one downside to both this and Collection's offering is that they both need to be sharpened rather than being twist up.

 

Available for £4.99 from Boots.

From top to bottom; On and on bronze, Vanilla Sky and Bad Girl Bronze.

 

What cream eye shadows have you been wearing lately?

NOTD #10 || Orange Your Life by Rimmel

Hello everyone, hope you're all well and enjoying your weekend! Today I thought I would talk to you about a nail polish I can only describe as a neon, 'can't stop looking at me' wonder. Rather cheesy name aside, this polish is one I have rediscovered this summer and really been loving. You may (or most probably may not) remember a post I did a few weeks ago featuring a peachy colour from the same range which lasted a whopping seven days chip-free! However this shade, although I prefer the colour, chipped and flaked within the first two days and was more gloopy to apply. This doesn't overly concern me as it takes very little time to dry, so top ups were easy!

Have you tried anything from this range?

Liebster Award #3

Source

 

 

Hello everyone, hope you're all well! I've been very fortunate to be nominated for the Liebster Award for the third time! The beautiful Stef from Scottish Stef's nails nominated me and you can see her post HERE. If i'm ever in need of some nail art inspiration i'm over at Stef's blog and i'd definitely recommend that you go and give her a follow!

 

Rules:

1. Answer the 10 questions which your lovely  nominator has given you!
2. Nominate 10 bloggers who have under 200 followers and link them in your post (I went via Bloglovin').
3. Come up with 10 more cool and crazy questions for your nominees to answer!
4. Inform your lovely nominees so they can do their responses!

 

Here are my answers:

 

Would you like to make YouTube videos?

I would actually really like to make them, and I have tried in the past, but my camera takes such bad quality videos (and pictures for that matter) that they wouldn't be worth watching!

 

Would you rather be chased by a horse sized duck or ten duck sized horses?

Probably ten duck sized horses because they'd just be like small dogs. A horse sized duck would be so scary!

 

What is your favourite nail polish?

I can probably whittle it down to my top two! I love Essie's Smokin' Hot which is a gorgeous charcoal colour and Topsop's Flying Saucer which reminds me of Parma Violets.

 

Why did you decide to start a blog?

I can't really pinpoint exactly why I started a blog but I was inspired by a lot of other bloggers such as Zoella, Sprinkle of Glitter, Couture Girl, Vivianna Does Makeup, Tanya Burr... need I go on! I loved the idea of having a little space of the internet where I could talk about anything I wanted! I never thought people would actually read my blog, I didn't even have put any gadgets on my blog so that people could follow until I had been writing it for a month! 

 

What are your favourite TV programmes?

Since discovering YouTube I barely watch any television, but my favourite is definitely Sherlock!

 

Do you ever take part in the #bbloggers chats?

I try to on a Sunday and I love finding new blogs and just chatting to people who love makeup!

 

Which piece of technology do you use to write your blog?

I use my laptop!

 

Which three fashion stores do you shop at the most?

Well definitely Topshop! I'm not a big fan of shopping online but I do love ASOS Marketplace, particularly the We Are Hairy People boutique! I always see great Primark Hauls on YouTube but I never seem to much and I love Zara but it's quite expensive!

iPhone or Blackberry?
I own neither but I think an iPhone would be better, I'm not very good at typing so a Blackberry wouldn't be for me!

What are your favourite items of clothing at the moment?
I hope to do some outfit posts next week but I've been loving a midi skirt from Topshop that has a beach-y scenic print. I'm not explaining it very well am I? Oh, well!

Eleanor at Dream. Love. Live. Fashion
Beca at Those Moments of Serendipity
Sophie at Sophie Louise W
Jordan at Little Lace Bows

Guest Post || Keeping Summer Skin Naturally Beautiful

Hello everyone, hope you're all well! Today's post is written by the lovely Michelle from Skana Spa in Upstate NY!  Happy reading!

 

Ah – summer. The time you get to enjoy blue skies, warm breezes, and hot sun.  The sun’s rays feel fabulous on your skin, but, even while enjoying sunbathing, you know those rays are causing real damage.  In fact, if you flip over on your towel and look around, you see lots of women that have had their skin scorched by the sun for too long.  They have that leather look that fills you with dread and sends you to your mirror at home to check for wrinkles and sunspots.

Having to worry about skin damage during the summer simply isn’t fair, especially if you had to survive a frigid, skin-drying winter before getting to enjoy the warm weather.  If you take certain precautions, you can still enjoy the sun and not end up wrinkled like a prune.

First, a powerful waterproof sunscreen is an absolute necessity.  Experts recommend you use a 30 SPF, which blocks 97% of the sun’s UVB rays.   Any higher number doesn’t really add much protection, so an SPF of 70 isn’t worth the extra price some companies charge.  

In addition to using sunscreen, make sure to use other soothing body products to slough off rough skin and reduce inflammation.  One easy and effective homemade treatment inspired by the experts of Skana Spa of Upstate NY resort, Turning Stone, is a natural body scrub made with just a few ingredients. The recipe listed below is simple and quite effective.  It also makes a great gift for summer parties and events.

 

Natural Summer Body Scrub

Ingredients:

‣ ½ cup sea salt, finely grained

‣ ½ cup ground coffee beans, finely grained

‣ ¼ cup sesame oil

‣ ½ teaspoon eucalyptus oil (about 20 drops)

 

 

 

 

Source

 

 

Directions: Mix the salt, coffee, and oils in a small container. It will make about 1 ½ cups or enough for three treatments. While in the shower, apply it while standing away from the water spray. Massage thoroughly into your skin with firm, semi-circular movements, taking time to activate all the ingredients. Rinse completely off of your skin.

After the abuse of the summer sun, this all-natural, non-chemical recipe will brighten and detox your skin, leaving it soft and glowing.  The coffee beans have powerful anti-inflammatories that reduce redness and inflammation in skin cells and that make your summer skin healthy and beautiful. Try this recipe at home and bottle some for gifts.  Take it to the hostess of the next party you attend and give some to your friends.  They’ll love this natural beauty body scrub, too!

Summer Beauty Essentials

Hello everyone, hope you're all well! As the weather has been rather hot lately I thought I'd compile a selection of products I have been loving this summer and will continue to use throughout July and August.

During the summer heavy coverage is off the cards, let's be honest no-one wants their makeup to melt! Instead I've been using Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB Cream. I have this in the shade light and blend it with the Real Techniques Expert Face brush. This stays put all day and has SPF 30, although I do wear La Roche Posay's Anthelios SPF 30 fluid underneath as well, which has UVA and UVB protection. Although a light coverage is all well and good, it doesn't mean I don't have the old spot or blemish that needs concealing. Cue Collection's Lasting Perfection Concealer. I'm not going to go on about this because everyone and their dog has, but when my skin is oiler, this is the perfect stay put concealer. A light dusting of powder seals the deal!

Bumble and Bumble's Surf Spray* is also a must for me. Lately I've been getting a lot more into hair products and this adds some much needed texture and volume! I've also really enjoyed using Seascape's Island Apothecary Uplift Body wash*  which contains Eucalyptus, lime and lavender for a refreshing morning shower. Soap and Glory's Butter Yourself body butter is lovely and moisturising whilst maintaining a lovely fruity scent.

Moving onto lips and cheeks! If you're a regular reader of mine you'll know that they're two of my favourite makeup items! Topshop's Cream Blush in Head Over Heels is a blendable, highly pigmented, coral cream blush which I use the Real Techniques Stipling brush to apply. For a cream based product, this doesn't slip and slide with my oily skin and is perfect for the summer months! I also like to go bold on the lip front and YSL's Rouge Volupte Shine in Corail Incandescent is a hydrating red-y coral which looks perfect with a tan! When in need of a hint of colour Benefit's Cha Cha tint* does the trick. This is again a peach-y coral which looks pretty on the lips or cheeks!

Finally we move onto nails. This summer I'll be wearing Topshop's Flying Saucer Nail Polish, which is a gorgeous pastel purple!

Those are my summer essentials, what are yours?

Hope you have a lovely sunny weekend!

Review || Seascape Uplifting Body Wash and Les Petits Body Lotion

Hello everyone, hope you're all well! Today I'm going to be reviewing some products I was very kindly sent to review for you lovelies!

Inspired by the natural charm, simplicity and beauty of island living, Seascape have a selection of products containing locally sourced ingredients, perfect for a morning shower. Seascape's Island Apothecary Uplift Body Wash* is something I've been lathering on over the past few weeks (a little goes a long way) and really loving. Containing 100% natural essential oils of Jersey Eucalyptus, lime and lavender, this is a very refreshing scent to wake up to!

Seascape also promise that their products are, 'Paraben, silicone, petroleum and SLS free and suitable for vegetarions. We are against animal testing and our bottles and packaging are recyclable.' On terms of packaging, the product is easy to get out and the bottle looks very luxurious. This retails for £16 for 300ml which ,although on the higher end, this product will last such a long time and would make a lovely gift. Available from the Beauty Expert website.

 Aimed at children, Seascape's Les Petits Body Lotion* is a naturally fragranced and dermatologically tested lotion which is great for my sensitive skin. Although a Soap and Glory lover, a lot of the lotions and potions I use are scentless and it was nice to find a product that my skin could handle as well as having a gorgeous lavenderesque (yep- it's a word) smell that lingers. The lotion wasn't too thick and had sunk into the skin in no time. That being said, I have very dry knees and elbows and I needed two layers of the lotion to hydrate them. This retails at a reasonable £12 and is available to purchase from the HQ Hair website. 

 

Overall, I was really pleased with these products and I would definitely buy the lotion again!

NOTD #9 || Flying Saucer by Topshop

Hello everyone, hope you're all well! Today's post features a nail polish that I've absolutely been loving over the past few weeks. Flying Saucer is a gorgeous pastel purple which is definitely suited to the spring and summer!

Formulation wise, this lasted fantastically well on my usually chipped nails. The polish was easy to apply and dried quickly, creating a glossy, opaque nail. I've really been loving Topshop nail polishes lately and will definitely be picking some more to add to my collection!

 

What do you think of Topshop nail polishes?

 

Available to buy from HERE.

Liebster Award #2

 Source

 

Hello everyone, hope you're all well! I've been lucky enough to be nominated for a Liebster Award for a second time! The lovely lady who nominated me was Katie from Curled Fantasies (you can read her post HERE). I love reading her blog and definitely recommend you go over a give her a follow!Shall we get started!

 

Rules:

1. Answer the 11 questions which your lovely  nominator has given you!
2. Nominate 11 bloggers who have under 200 followers and link them in your post (I went via Bloglovin').
3. Come up with 11 more cool and crazy questions for your nominees to answer!
4. Inform your lovely nominees so they can do their responses!

 

There are a few variations of this post going round, so these rules may be different to last time!

Katie's questions:

 

What is your all-time favourite nail polish? Brand and colour!

Probably Essie's Smokin' Hot which is a gorgeous charcoal with purple undertones! The wearability is great and the shade is really unique!

 

If I were to give you £100 what would you spend it on?
If I had to chose I'd probably spend half on We Are Hairy People T-Shirts! They're all hand painted and just generally lovely and I'd donate the other half to WaterAid (I'm feeling particularly generous today).
 

What is your favourite high street store?
Topshop hands down. Before we even get started on the makeup, the clothes are beautiful and I'll always be able to find something to buy when I'm in store! The jewellery is wonderful too, especially their necklaces. As we all know buy now, I love their lipsticks more than any high end brand and will recommend them to anybody that asks!
 

How would you describe your personal style?
This one's really tough! Say a monster ate a midi dress, baggy t-shirt, skinny jeans, statement necklace and spat it out, that's me.
 

Top beauty/styling tip?
In a Lilly Pebbles video I saw her apply red lipstick and then popping her index finger in her mouth so that the lipstick was on her finger rather than her teeth! I always do this now!
 

What’s your favourite film?
There is so many to choose from! I like a good film to get the emotions running and one of my favourite films has to be Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Have the tissues to hand if you watch this!
 

If you could visit anywhere in the world where would that be?
After watching Eat Pray Love, I really want to visit Italy, if only for the Spaghetti Bolognese!
 

What is your favourite meal?
Again a tricky one, probably Chicken Raisukuree from Wagamamas!  Just thinking about it now makes my mouth water!
 

Do you have any siblings?
I have a little sister called Lettie who has featured in a few blog posts and a younger brother.
 

What is your guilty pleasure? (This can be ANYTHING – food, tv, film…)
For some of you this will come as no surprise but I am a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge fan of Sherlock. Ooh I just love it. So much. No matter how many times someone tells me 'it's just a TV show,' I won't stop thinking about it (I'm still trying to work out how he survived)! I've been watching A Scandal in Belgravia all week, and if for some manic reason you live in the UK and haven't seen this fabulous programme head over to BBC iplayer now! *Please do not unfollow me because you think I'm a weird Sherlock obsessed person*
 

Where do you live? I love to know where my fellow bloggers are!

I live in a little country village in the south of England.

Nadia at The Girl Who Looks Like A Cake (most fabulous blog name ever, nuff said)

Review || Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer

 Hello everyone, hope you're all well! With the hot weather I don't think anybody feels like a face full of foundation. Cue Bourjois Healthy Mix concealer. I bought this in shade 51, light radiance, which is also the fairest shade Bourjois do. On terms of packaging there are some negative and some positive points. The tube is clear so that you are aware of how much product you have left but the lip gloss style applicator makes it hard to control the amount of product that comes out and can be messy.

 The consistency is quite thick and I found that this creased under my eyes, although on other parts of my face, such as around my nose and chin, the formulation was perfect. This concealer was able to disguise any spots, blemishes or redness with ease and without looking cakey. I set this with Rimmel Stay Matte powder and it lasted near enough all day without looking patchy.

Overall I really like this concealer and think it is definitely worth the £7.49 price tag, available from Boots.

Weekly Wishlist #2 || We Are Hairy People

 

 

Copy of Copy Hand Painted leggings £22

Hand painted and Hand made Dungaree Dress £74.99

Hand painted pink triangles tee £28

 

I first discovered this brand about a year ago, the same time I discovered Asos Marketplace, where they are stocked along with their own website. Surprisingly, I have never actually bought anything but the clothes look so pretty and unique. I've heard nothing but good things and all the items are either hand painted, hand made or both! They will probably feature in further wishlists and I hope this gives you a little insight to the type of clothes I like. Maybe some more outfit posts in the future?

Review || Kérastase Styling Lift Vertige

Oooh, a hair product? That's new. Kérastase Styling K Lift Vertige* Root Uplifting Gel (that's a mouthful!) is something I've been putting to all kinds of tests over the past week or so. If you want to find out what I thought, keep reading...

Kérastase advise 'apply to damp hair at the roots and using a brush and blowdryer, lift the roots for a volumizing effect.' On evacuating the shower I left my hair to partly dry and then took a small pump and massaged it into the roots of my hair. One small singing session with the blowdryer and hairbrush over, my hair was volumized and ready for the day ahead! I have to say I was very impressed at how the gel left my hair, as usually gravity has the ultimate effect of leaving it arranged around my face in an odd limp manner.

On Sunday I mainly pottered about at home, and I was very impressed at how the ends of my hair stayed curly. On Tuesday I faced a hard day of endless shopping, eating at Wagamamas ( I had chicken raisukaree if you were wondering) and catching the train with my friends. My hair held out pretty well and better than expected considering the hot conditions.

 

Please excuse my odd facial expression in the picture above, but I was trying to show how well the product was at keeping my hair wavy and volumized!

 

Kérastase K Lift Vertige retails for £19.50 on the Look Fantastic website, which is the cheapest I've found it. Although this is quite pricey, I have to say this is one of the only products I've used on my hair that has actually given me volume, and a small amount goes a long way!

NOTD #8 || Tangy Tangerine by Rimmel

 Hello everyone, hope you're all well! Todays nails feature peachy Tangy Tangerine #705 from the Rimmel 'I Heart Lasting Finish Collection', and well, let's just say, I may have found a new love. Now, it's not as if I have never worn a Rimmel polish before, just not in a while. And boy I'm wondering why I ever stopped! When I say this lasted seven days chip free, I really mean it! That is more than my beloved Topshop polishes! The brush is wide, allowing easy application, and the formulation dries quickly, which meant the three coats needed for an opaque colour took next to know time! I already have a few in my collection but I'll definitely be picking up some more next time I'm in Boots.

 

Which polishes have you been loving so far this Summer? Have you tried any from this collection?

Review || Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner

Hello everyone, hope you're all well! Whilst browsing the magazine stand last week I spotted that Marie Claire's free gift was a mini version of the Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner, a product I had wanted to try for a while. So, as you may of already guessed, I picked it up!

The product arrives in a pretty little blue box and the eyeliner itself is silver.

 

Marie Claire is a reduced price of only £2.50 this month, making this a really great deal!

 Eyeko claim, "Whether you want bold drama or grown-up glamour, you can line and define your eyes in an instant with our easy-to-control Skinny Liquid Eyeliner. The preservative-free formula with key ingredient, Sodium Hyaluronate ensures that colour glides on and stays on for a long-lasting, glossy finish. It's a highly pigmented colour, it won't smudge or fade and it's easy to apply."
The felt tip is a medium size, allowing the user to apply a thin or thick line. The pigmentation is great although the product, I find, to fade throughout the day, occasionally flaking. My usual liquid eyeliner is Collection's extreme 24 hour felt tip liner, which I actually prefer as the colour lasts all day.



What is your favoutite eyeliner? Have you picked up any free gifts with magazines this month?

Haul #1 || Lipsticks, Lipsticks, Lipsticks

Hello everyone, hope you're all well! Please excuse the lack of posts these past two weeks but I've come down with a severe case of bloggers block. I have a few planned reviews and NOTDs, but if you have any suggestions of posts you may like to read feel free to comment them below! Now, did anyone say lipsticks?

In the last week I've done a spot of shopping and have managed to acquire a selection of lipsticks, all under £10! If you would like a more in detail review of a particular shade, just leave a comment and I'll be sure to do one! 

 From left; Rose Petal, Jewel, Bare, Nectar, Juicy, Shade 12 and Shade 1.

 Rose Petal is a gorgeous pink-y nude shade which I find to be very moisturising and easy for everyday wear! It is also a cheap and cheerful at £1.99! Jewel is a pH reactive lip tint which creates a personal shade, suited to compliment the wearer! Although Topshop claims this is orange, it's pink on my lips, but more on that later. Another lovely nude, Bare, is only £1 from MUA and the quality is far beyond the price!

 Nectar is a lovely bright coral-y pink, whilst Juicy is more subtle! Shade 12, although very sadly unnamed, is a sparkly pink and Shade 1 is a deep, vampy red. The formula and pigmentation of these MUA lipsticks is great, and soon I'll be back to buy the whole collection!

 From left; Rose Petal, Jewel, Bare, Nectar, Juicy, Shade 12 and Shade 1.

 As you can see Jewel is a magenta shade when swatched and on my lips, but it's different on everyone!

 Nectar and Juicy were my two favourites, definitely worth a swatch when you're next in Superdrug!
