Fragrance Direct Haul

Hey there everyone :)

Firstly, I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to you, today my profile on Bloglovin' hit the 50 followers mark! Now I know that compared to some people, well, most people, that is hardly anything but for me this is amazing and I am so grateful! I am planning on doing a giveaway soon so please just bare with and keep your eyes peeled :)

Now onto the post :)

Right, I have wanted to order from fragrance direct for a while now so at the start of this month I did it, if you haven't heard of fragrance direct before I would definitely check it out (here!) but basically it is a website which sells discounted and even some discontinued beauty and fragrance goods and the prices are SO cheap and its amazing. The only thing is, their stock levels change every day, which is brilliant if you're waiting for something, but not so brilliant if you want to order something and it suddenly goes out of stock!

And here's what I bought! I got these 14 things for £27!!!!!!! The postage is only £1.95 and it all comes very quickly (I think these took just under a week) especially for the price and everything was nicely in a box with some of those little air bag things, luckily, nothing was broken!

 

Revlon Colorstay Foundation in Ivory - £7.95

 

The bottle for this foundation is surprisingly small but apparently there is the normal 30ml which you get in a foundation and it was about £5 less than it is in Boots or Superdrug!

 

 

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in 100 Ivory - £3.99

 

This was also much smaller than in the shops so I'm pleased with that! Although considering they are both called 'Ivory' these two look VERY different...

 

 

NYC Smooth Skin Liquid Concealer in Light - £0.99p

 

I got this because I am FOREVER on the hunt for a perfect, cheap concealer which will cover up my HORRIFIC dark circles

 

 

W7 Prime Magic Eye Primer - £1.99

 

I've had my eye on this eye primer for a while now, because I've always wanted to try one to see if they really do make my eyeshadow last longer...

 

 

W7 The Bronzer Matte Compact - £1.50

 

I much prefer matte bronzers as the thought of a shimmery face scares me and also I can use it for contouring as well which means its 2 in 1 :) Also, I love that this bronzer has absolutely no trace of any orange in it which is great because nobody wants to be orange! (well.....)

 

 

Constance Carroll Silk Finishing Powder in Barely There - £0.99p

 

I think I got this because it's name is 'finishing powder', that makes me feel as though it will se my makeup better and make it last longer so I'm looking forward to trying this and seeing if my theory works

 

 

 

NYC Metro Quartet in Best of Broadway - £0.99p

 

I thought that this eyeshadow quad looked so cute and compact and perfect for travelling with, especially as it has all of the lovely natural colours I would normally wear, I also really love that it has the little overlay with where to put each eyeshadow too.

 

 

 

Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in 625 Iced Caramel - £1.99

 

I think it's amazing that these lipsticks are only £1.99! Although, I must say I was a little bit disappointed when I opened this because it looks a bit orangey brown but when I put it on it looks really nice, like a deep red kind of colour so I am pleased I chose this one :)

 

 

Bourjois UNE Skin Glow Pencil - £1.99

 

I was drawn to this because I thought it could be used in the waterline to brighten my eyes so I am also looking forward to trying this :)

 

 

Constance Carroll Mono Eyeshadow in (Left) Beige (Right) Taupe - 45p each

 

I then got these 2 Constance Carroll Eyeshadows for 45p each, that's right, you saw it right, 45p!!!!!

 

 

Taupe - this is a beautiful browny nudey purple toned colour (I am really bad at describing colours incase you didn't already guess!) which I really like

 

 

Beige - this is a whitey gold colour which looks lovely all over the lid or just in the inner corner, what I really like about it is that it's not too glittery its just nicely shimmery :)

 

I did also get 2 Revlon nail polishes (for 99p each!) in classy - a beautiful pink colour and Minted - self explanatory ;) and I also got an Essie nail polish (for £1.99!) in Fear and Desire - a bright orange! But I forgot to photograph them, sorry!

This is such a tough one, to be honest, if I was alone and stuck, I probably wouldn't bother wearing makeup, but I think I would definitely take cleanser because i'm guessing sleeping outside wouldn't be good for my skin. The other too would probably be body wash and shampoo because I would rather be nice and clean than have makeup on, especially if I was on my own.

I don't really have a favourite movie, I really like Forrest Gump because its really cute and I also like Disney and Pixar Films :)

Probably Kendall or Kylie Jenner because they are beautiful and I love them.

I think Zoella, Sprinkle of Glitter and Tanya Burr are my absolute favourites but I also really love Lily Pebbles, What I heart Today etc

7. What is your favourite fashion or beauty brand?

7 'Interesting' facts about me

 

I wouldn't exactly call myself 'interesting' and I am also only 14 years old so I have a pretty boring life and I haven't really done much yet but here goes:

2. When I am older, I want to be a Doctor, a paediatrician to be precise :)

3. I don't like fruit, except for bananas (sometimes) and raisins, but other than that, I eat any food

4. My favourite number is 5, because I was born on the 5th of May (the 5th month)

5. I want to do a lot of travelling, but the one place which I most want to visit is Australia

6. To get to school in the morning, I have to get a lift to the train station, get two trains and then walk, that is what I'd call COMMITED

7. I have a miniature schnauzer called Nina

 

That is everything :) Good luck to all of my nominations <3

 

Bye <3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Review - ASDA Young Skin

Hello :)

Recently I was in Asda and I spotted these skincare products, when I looked at them I realised that they were also Paraben free, and I prefer not to use Parabens when possible, so at only £1 each obviously I got them!

I picked up the - Matt Finish Moisturiser

                      - Cleanser & Toner Milk

                     - Eye Make-up remover

Firstly I would like to say that I'm slightly torn on the packaging of these. They are bright and colourful and I like the little logo thing but I do think it makes them look slightly cheap.

Another thing that applies to all the products is the smell, I understand that if something is fragrance free, it never smells particularly nice, but these do not state that they are fragrance free. However, if they are fragranced and they are meant to be nice then I think the person who tested the smell had a blocked nose or something! They don't smell very nice...

Onto the products:

 

Young Skin Eye Make-up Remover - £1

 

Despite the smell, I am quite impressed with this eye make up remover. It is a liquid and doesn't sting or feel rough on my eyes at all, it is very gentle and it removes every last bit of my mascara and eye makeup easily. This is definitely my favourite piece out of the 3 I bought.

 

 

Young Skin Cleanser & Toner Milk - £1

 

The 'directions' section on this says to use it with a cotton wool pad after normal cleansing, however I find it a little too greasy - and smelly - to do this so I instead use this before cleansing with face wash, and I do like that it removes all of my make up and any dirt on my face. It also makes my face feel soft and moisturised even after I have used the face wash.

 

 

Young Skin Matt Finish Moisturiser - £1

 

Again, I do like this product however it does smell slightly, but not as bad as the other 2, which I'm glad about as its this one which I don't wash off! It gives a nice finish to the skin and makes my face feel fairly soft so overall I'm impressed.

Review: MUA Blusher in Cupcake

Hello,

Today I am going to be doing a review of  MUA's blusher in Cupcake. I often see people posting about this blusher, but in the shade Lolly, which I do also want to get, but I thought I'd get this one first, especially as its a colour which I would most likely wear as its a natural pink colour.

 

 

 

This was £1! Because of this I wasn't really expecting great pigmentation or colour, but I was so surprised, I actually have to put my brush on it more lightly so that I don't get too much colour on my cheeks, its so pigmented.

 

I really like this and its a lovely colour. I also like the packaging, even though its pretty simple, I know that it wont come undone in my bag and I think it looks nice too.

 

The names of the colours in this whole range of blushers are slightly bizarre, and they definitely don't give you any indication of the products colour, however I think the names are quite sweet.

 

There's not really much else I can say about this blusher, I am genuinely very impressed and can't really fault it.

 

What are you're favourite MUA products?

10 Everyday Products

Hello,

Today I am going to be sharing with you 10 products which I use every day, or nearly every day at least and which I love. Obviously, these are not the only products I use every day but I just wanted to include a different selection.

 

Elvive Full Restore 5 Conditioning Repair Spray - Around £3

 

I have mentioned this product SO many times, I just really love it. It is so cheap, I think I got it on offer in Superdrug for £2-3, but it seems to be on offer every time I see it, and it works miracles in detangling my very knotty hair and leaving it soft and lovely :)

 

 

Soap N Glory Mist you Madly Body Spray - £3.50 (for this mini size) £6 - Full size £8.50 (for the scent-sational set)

 

I love Soap N Glory products, and I especially love the names or all of them, they are so witty and the person who thinks them up has a very good imagination, I got a set of 3 scents from Soap N Glory (called Scent-Sational, which is another amazing name) and I love them all but this is my favourite! It smells so lovely, I cant even describe it, but I love it! It isn't too strong either, but lasts well, I use this every morning.

 

 

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation - £8.99

 

This is definitely my go-to foundation and I wear it basically every day, its medium coverage and gives a nice finish, somewhere in between matte and dewy.

 

 

Joursna Stippling Brush - £1.89 (from ebay)

 

What I would really love is a beautiful set of Real Techniques brushes, however, despite many people saying that they are 'drugstore' I do think they are slightly expensive for me right now, but when I have the funds, I will definitely be buying a set! But for now, I bought this cheap one off of Ebay, it really is very soft and amazing quality for the price, I use it to apply my Rimmel Stay Matte Powder.

 

 

 

 

 

L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara - £10.99

 

Need I say more?! My holy-grail mascara, I love it to pieces, the brush looks weird, but it separates lashes and doesn't clump but adds length and volume, also the bottle lasts a ridiculously long time, I have had this one since the beginning of May and used it everyday.

 

 

Vivo Radiant Boost Highlighter - £3.49

 

I recently got this highlighter and WOW does it work. I wouldn't say it would be great for top of cheekbones/brow bone kind of highlighter however under my eyes on top of my usual concealer it really stops my dark circles coming through so much, I also find that, because it is so thick, it sets my concealer and makes it last longer.

 

 

The Body Shop Matte It Primer - £9

 

I got this ages ago and re-discovered it recently, I think it does keep my foundation on a little better than with nothing but the thing I like best about it is how soft and velvety it makes my face feel!

 

 

 

 

 Maybelline Baby Lips in Peach Kiss - £2.99

 

I love this lip balm, it has a slight peachy tint to it which I love but it smells amazing! I use this every morning when I put on my makeup.

 

 

Primark Eyelash Curlers - £1

 

A few months ago I would've sworn by it to only ever use travel eyelash curlers as any others pinch the skin around my eyes, however, I tried out my Mums ones of these, and hey didn't, I also love the look of them and they are strangely bouncy which I really like. Another plus is that I don't have to jam my fingers into those annoying little things which normal ones have, so obviously I bought myself a pair, and they do curl my eyelashes well as well, after a little rant about pointless things, most people only mind if they have curly lashes after using them!

 

 

 

I'm really sorry I honestly have no idea where this brush is from or how much it was, it was given to me and I've had it such a long time.

 

Even though this brush is HUGE I love it for bronzing, it only picks up a small amount of product, and I think the minimal product used gives the best result when bronzing and it spreads out to almost as big as my face, making it really easy to bronze evenly and lightly.

 

 

So that's it, a random selection of 10 products which I use - nearly - every day :)

 

What are your everyday products?

 

Also, I am on the lookout for a new foundation, any suggestions?
