I'm not going to sit and bore you with a blog about a haul. I describe everything in the video so there is no point. I do have a couple of nail videos to blog about though. The first is my easter nails.<br />
<br />
Now I don't normally do holiday themed nails, as I don't like to be the same as everyone else. However, these nails were just so cute I couldn't resist. Although in my defence, I wore them last week, 2 weeks before easter lol. So I guess I was ok :)<br />
<br />
My second nail video is a product review. I reviewed Beauty Uk's matte top coat, and have seriously fallen in love. For only £1.99, this product is amazing. It can change the colour of any polish and turn it matte, but also provides chop free wear for at least 5 days in my case, which is awesome :)<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out for both videos, which should be available to view now :)beautyboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01183339821845554517noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6635395486969740980.post-26073944822513312042012-03-23T07:04:00.000-07:002012-03-23T07:04:24.651-07:00Lauren Luke Brush Review :)So I wanted to invest in some quality brushes, without spending too much money. I was stuck between 2 brands, Real Techniques and Lauren Luke. My only problem with real techniques is for the two full sets was around £44, but that didn't include the stippling brush or kabuki brush to name a few, so in the long run would have been much pricier.<br />
So I opted for Lauren Luke, and can I say I am not disappointed :) This post will tell you all you need to know from delivery to use :)<br />
<br />
<b><u>Website/ Ordering</u></b><br />
<br />
The website is pretty basic, only consisting of 4 main pages. This does mean however that you don't get distracted or lost when using the site, which is a bonus. The actual ordering page is very easy to use. You can chose which brush/ brushes you want using a drop down bar on each one, which gives you the quantity. Or you can do what I did and chose the full set of 8.<br />
Once you have made your choice, you click proceed which takes you straight to the paypal payment page. If you don't have a paypal, I'm not sure how else you could get them, as all sales are made using this. After payment you should receive an email from paypal saying it has gone through.<br />
One thing that did annoy me was I got overcharged for postage. UK is £1.99, but I got charged the EU rate of £3.99. I did get £2 refunded, which was good.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Customer Service</u></b><br />
<br />
I didn't really rate the customer service if I'm honest. I didn't receive any emails from the company until the day before my order was dispatched. <b><u> </u></b>I contacted them the day after I placed my order to ask when they would be dispatched (as they are sent recorded delivery, so you will need someone to sign for them). I also wanted to find out about my postage issue. But it took them two days to send any sort of reply. I also tried to ring the customer service phone number provided, which always went straight through to an answering service. So I do feel that this area could do with some improvements. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Delivery/ Packaging</u></b><br />
<br />
Delivery took 4 full working days, which surprised me as it was First Class Recorded. They did however turn up in a very cute envelope. Black padded with a pink bow on the corner. Very original. All the brushes came in their own plastic bag, and some of the smaller or more delicate ones also had the plastic topper on. I also got a letter that was personalised to me, and signed by Lauren. All the brushes arrived to me in perfect condition. <b><u> </u></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>The Brushes</b></u><br />
<br />
As I ordered the 8 piece essential set, I got all the brushes she currently sells. I also found out that if you buy the set together, you get the pencil brush for free, which is a saving of £3.25! They are all made with synthetic bristles, and all have a sturdy black handle with Lauren Luke logo on them. The fennel on each brush is pink, which I thought was a nice touch. Here is a breakdown of each brush.<br />
<u><b> </b></u><br />
<u>Angled Liner Brush - £3.25</u><br />
<br />
Very similar to most angled brushes out there. I did find this one to be very thin though, which is perfect for creating very thin liner, or building up to thick. Lovely for doing wings with too.<br />
<u><br />
</u><br />
<u>Blending Eyeshadow Brush</u><u> - £4.50</u><b></b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
Lovely brush, a dupe for the Mac 217 I believe. Really great at blending your colours up and together. It is also slightly tapered, which helps to get right into the crease.<br />
<br />
<u>Flat Contour Brush - £5.25</u><br />
<br />
I use this for blush as it has a fairly round top. It is a small brush, which is great, as it doesn't leave you with blusher everywhere.<u> </u>Could also be used for bronzer.<br />
<br />
<u>Flat Eye Shadow Brush - £4.00</u><br />
<br />
This brush is really good at packing on the colour to your lids. It holds a lot of product, and delivers it without covering you in product.<br />
<br />
<u>Foundation Brush - £6.00</u><br />
<br />
This is the brush that most people are interested in. Its shape is very different to most foundation brushes. Due to its smaller size, it is easier to get into small areas, like around the nose. It does however mean that it takes longer to apply foundation. I do feel though that the finish is better.<br />
<br />
<u>Large Powder Brush - £6.50</u><br />
<br />
This is my favourite brush. It is massive, which is great for getting the product on quickly and easily. It is lovely and soft too :)<br />
<br />
<u>Pencil Brush - £3.25</u><br />
<br />
Really nice for putting colour on the lower lash line. Also good for precision work. Really soft.<br />
<br />
<u>Tapered Blending Brush - £4.50</u><br />
<br />
This brush is slightly shorter than the other blending brush, but has much more of a point to it, which helps to get into the crease. <u></u><br />
<u><br />
</u><br />
<u><br />
</u><br />
<u><b>Cleaning</b></u><br />
<br />
I have washed my set a few times now, and it always goes back to the lovely state they arrived in. The foundation brush can be a little difficult, as it holds onto the product really well, so if you are using a lasting foundation, be prepared for a fight!<u><br />
</u><br />

I am thinking of getting a second set to bulk out my collection a bit. I would definitely recommend this set to anyone, whether you are a pro or just beginning :)<br />

I have not been keeping up with is as I should, and I'm annoyed at myself for this. From now on, all videos I do will get a mention on here, even if it's only a small one.<br />
Thank you to everyone who comes here, I love you all :) xxbeautyboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01183339821845554517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6635395486969740980.post-41509372165209996992012-03-05T13:13:00.000-08:002012-03-05T13:13:25.406-08:00Weight WatchersSo I have been on weight watchers (old style points) for 5 months now and have so far lost 3 1/2 stone. My starting weight was 22st 12lb, and I am now a very slightly healthier 19st 5lb.<br />
I still have a long way to go, and I know WW plus lots of excercise will keep me on the right path.<br />
I would like to be a 14 by Sept, which is only 2 dress sizes away now, but will just have to wait and see what happens :)<br />
<br />
So below I have a before and after pic of when I first started the plan, and then last week (end feb) It's deffinately not the sexiest pic in the world, but you get the idea. I really hope by doing this tiny blog, it will help at least one person by showing them that anyone can lose wight, you just need to want to do it, otherwise you will fail. I don't want to sound harsh, but I have given up so many times, I know what I'm talking about. It needs to be a decision you make for yourself, and you need to be ready to accept it will be hard. But the results are well worth it :)<br />

The product is super easy to use, and not only does eyelashes, but also eyebrows!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtkXT7Go2x0XHhukGFSVaX01ArOUc9_7MiOvIlTu32u_hTHdVeNWL3GPaJ9B2jBXrqi8EcrbqdC1vO9OQ4U2QYIebNX2nzbqWSep_XDn8pLOWEh9fFsx3YOhQCjEE_rZKiPW6YUfK9eugQ/s1600/30colorsport.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtkXT7Go2x0XHhukGFSVaX01ArOUc9_7MiOvIlTu32u_hTHdVeNWL3GPaJ9B2jBXrqi8EcrbqdC1vO9OQ4U2QYIebNX2nzbqWSep_XDn8pLOWEh9fFsx3YOhQCjEE_rZKiPW6YUfK9eugQ/s320/30colorsport.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It comes in black and dark brown, but to be honest the black is not severe. I have used it on both my eyebrows and eyelashes, and saw the results instantly. I have even done a video for you, with a brow demonstration.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It is available from Boots for £8.20, which considering it is a years supply is a great price!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Colorsport-Black-30-Day-Mascara_792/">http://www.boots.com/en/Colorsport-Black-30-Day-Mascara_792/</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So in conclusion, if you are fed up of filling in your brows everyday, or putting on 5 layers of mascara to make them super black, this may be the product for you :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">So I have recently become obsessed with a makeup brand called Missguided. It is a UK based brand, but they do ship internationally. <a href="http://www.missguided.co.uk/">http://www.missguided.co.uk/</a> (take a quick peek!)</div><div style="text-align: center;">They are mainly a fashion site,but they do sell nail polish and lipgloss. I currently have 3 of the 4 lipglosses and 3 of the 8 nail polishes. They also sell eyelure eyelashes and patterned nail wraps.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I do feel like their prices are a little expensive, but they are midmarket. Varnish and gloss are £5 each, but they do do a gloss 4 pack which is £12, saving you £8! They are very good quality, so the price is very reflective of that. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote>The gloss is not sticky or oily, and it smells lovely. It also stays put all day, so really £5 is a bargain! The polish is also very nice. You could get away with one coat if you are in a rush, but 2 coats makes it really vibrant. It doesn't chip or peel, so again very much worth the money. I also love the names they have come up with. My favorite is for the teal varnish, which is called Misstique.</blockquote> Overall, I am extremely happy with these products, and would love to get more in the future!<br />

So far I have done Pretty Little Liars, which was a basic neutral eye with browns and blacks, very similar to what the characters wear.<br />
My second and third looks have both been inspired by Hellcats. I have based these looks on the uniforms of the 2 main teams. Hellcats are in blue and yellow, and the cyclones are in blue and white. Both videos are on my YouTube account, so take a peek!<br />

I have recently bought 2 new colours which brought my little collection up to 8.<br />

<br />
I have done some swatches which look like this:<br />

<br />
Some pro's about the polish:<br />
<ul><li>It goes on smoothly, </li>
<li>good colour coverage after 2 coats, </li>
<li>doesn't fade/chip easily, </li>
<li>nice packaging, </li>
<li>brush doesn't shed.</li>
</ul><br />
Con's about the polish:<br />
<ul><li>Goes thick after a few uses, so needs thinning with nail varnish remover, </li>
<li>peels easily off of natural nails (only if a lot of coats have been applied though), </li>
<li>can be hard to replace some colours as they get replaced.</li>
</ul><br />
I will continue to buy Barry M varnish as I do love it, especially at the moment as it is 2 for £4.99 in Superdrug!beautyboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01183339821845554517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6635395486969740980.post-58860218057912700202011-07-18T14:51:00.000-07:002011-07-18T14:51:34.223-07:00pixie stixx jewelryHi guys. Today I want to do a written review of pixie stixx jewelry. The owner of the company is named Katie, and she is lovely. She is based in Britain, but posts worldwide. I have now had 10 items from her and I love them all. Below I will post some pictures that I have taken from her facebook site of the items that I own. Price wise she is quite cheap. I have spent about £50 total for all my items, which when you see the work that has gone into them is fantastic! I think some of her prices have recently risen, but only slightly, and to keep on track with the economic change.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Cookie collection </u></b><br />
<br />
I have the cookie monster necklace, cookie earrings and cookie ring. I absolutely love these as they are so cute and different, but they look very realistic. My daughter tried to eat them once as she thought they were real!<br />

<u><b>Skull necklace </b></u><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxmHoGY6Um7o5cTzqXLPGpqYMj0AIm514IEB63-iS2kTWPOLSJsIP2oHvLIu63FYIYgPrGDz0ymPit7axr77vbpXSSai3zbfQVDXkPAqg-VYoB5uZ61ftH3Iz41NPWGfFbO8FdgIipXl6o/s1600/154811_126155297448061_101358479927743_182693_6639240_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxmHoGY6Um7o5cTzqXLPGpqYMj0AIm514IEB63-iS2kTWPOLSJsIP2oHvLIu63FYIYgPrGDz0ymPit7axr77vbpXSSai3zbfQVDXkPAqg-VYoB5uZ61ftH3Iz41NPWGfFbO8FdgIipXl6o/s320/154811_126155297448061_101358479927743_182693_6639240_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>I love my skull necklace. it is the first item I saw on her profile and the first one I fell in love with. It features 3 skulls that have 2 faces (1 each side) and a jar filled with hearts, bones and glitter. The detail on them is beautiful and all made from clay, not painted on. She also used gems to finish the look off.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Geisha </b></u><br />
<br />
The geisha I have was originally on a watch necklace, but I asked if I could have her as a charm on her own. I did say in my video i was a little disappointed with her size given her price (£6), but I also said that I can understand why due to the detailing. She has very intricate pieces such as her eyes and flowers, which I feel are reflected in her price. SHe also makes different versions and colours, and even one with jointed arms!<br />

<u><b>Cupcakes</b></u><br />
<br />
I have 3 cupcake charms that I have attached to a charm bracelet. I was only able to find a picture of one though. I had a duck, a spider and a purple bow cupcake and all are gorgeous. Very good size too, so well worth the money!<br />

<b><u>Teaparty necklace</u></b><br />
<br />
I had a necklace custom made for a dressing up day which was Alice in Wonderland themed. The picture I have is very similar to what I got, however my charms included a mad hatter hat, cup of tea, teapot, french fancy with an 'eat me' sign, a strawberry cake and a cake on a plate. The watch is the same. Beautiful again.<br />

<u><b>Rose ring</b></u><br />

Last, but not least, is my blue rose ring. This is also the competition prize on my YouTube page. It has an adjustable ring to fit most finger sizes and comes in a variety of colours and styles.<br />

Today I want to talk about cheap vs chic. As you may know if you have seen my videos, I believe in finding cheap alternatives to brand name products. I personally cannot afford to buy designer brands such as Mac or Channel, I struggle to afford drugstore brands such as Rimmel or Maybelline! I like to find brands like MUA or beauty uk which are brilliant at what they do, but are also affordable. My favourite brand right now is MUA (Make Up Academy) which is from Superdrug. Every item is £1 and it is brilliant quality. A future video I am going to do is a full face make over using only MUA, and all for under £10. <br />
<br />
I just really don't see the appeal. I have seen a mac lipgloss selling for £32, whereas for the same price you could get £32 MUA lipglosses, or even 19 2true lipglosses! I have no problem with Mac or Channel or any other exspensive brand, but for pretty much the same product at a fraction of the price, I know where I will get my makeup from :)<br />

I have seen many reviews on YouTube, and also videos of people using them in their tutorials, and I just really want one.

Now, I can't afford to just go and get one as they retail on average at £32 plus, which is way too expensive. I have also gone down the eBay route, but even on there they are £20 plus! I even tried to win a used one which sold for £28! At the moment it is on my wish list, and I do have my birthday coming up, so maybe if I ask everyone nicely I might just get one, or three haha!!beautyboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01183339821845554517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6635395486969740980.post-78646376734765092662011-07-10T09:23:00.000-07:002011-07-10T09:23:53.465-07:00E.L.FI am a fan of E.L.F on Facebook, and they have announced a sale that applies this weekend only, and finishes 9am tomorrow morning.
