Blogmas day 23 : Top 4 books of 2015

I used to read all the time and these are my favs from 2015

Girl online
When zoella announced she was bringing a book out I was really excited and curious so when it came out I popped along to Waterstones and picked it up for a tenner. Its a really good storyline which in some ways I can relate to . Its all about a girl called penny who has anxiety and her parents run a weeding shop . Her parents business  is asked to do a wedding in new York and the book is all about her , her friend drama , her boy drama and is a really good read . The is a 2nd book but in  my opion it is not as good .

Fan girl
I think the blurb is really good and you want to fine out more . If you have a twin you can relate . Wren and Cath are twins who were inseparable before collage but as they arrive on campus Wren enjoys getting drunk but Cath is much shyer . My friends don't like it because there isn't really a reason or ending but a good read in my books.

Mr Stink
I find David Wallams hilarious so I really enjoyed the comedy element in this book . Chloe a girl who doesn't like her family and they don't like her  takes a interest in the local tramp Mr Stink . Her mother is running a campaign to drive tramps off the street so Chloe takes drastic measures and invites her new friend to live in their shed but without knowing all the issues ahead what will happen . All David's books are good but this is the best in my opinion .

The fault in our stars
I know I'm late on this book but its amazing . It is super sad but also so true and the film is just as good . 2 children or teens have or had cancer meet and fall in love but love doesn't last as they soon find out .  AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GIRL ONLINE , GOING OFFLINE .

Blogmas day 22 : My recent morning routine

So the first thing I do obviously wake up . Now I have been getting up at 9 am which is really late for me .

Then another essential is to check my social media so my Instagram and my snapchat and I do this for half an hour to forty five minutes .

Once I finished on my iPad I go into the bath and wash my face with the Liz Earle cleanse and polish but this is a sample so I will need to buy this because it's fab.

With my nice clean face I go downstairs and have breakfast with is 2 weetabix with hot milk and a yogurt . I love yogurt and my favourite flavour is cherry a cheeky fact about me .

Now I'm feed I go back to my room to watch all my YouTubers one of my favourite things .

Once I get bored of my iPad I start my makeup . This is a bit of the Rimmel wake me up concealor on any blemishes with the stay matte powder to set and the No7 intense volume mascara on my eye lashes . My lips changes all the time but I'm currently liking a clear glitter .

With my face on I get dressed . Today I put on my navy skinny jeans from new look and a Christmas jumper from primary because I was feeling festive .

If I have any homework I will do it then my mornings over

Blogmas day 20 : Cute hot chocolate candle

 Everyone loves hot chocolate right ? Everyone loves candles right ? So why not put the two together and make a hot chocolate candle . Here is how you do it :

1 candle wick

1 hot chocolate/latte cup (the long tall ones )

Vegetable shortening

Some brown wax crayons 

Scented oils

Soy wax

Okay so the first step is to find out how much liquid goes into your glass , mines 300 ml so I measured out 300 ml of shortening and added 2 melted crayons for the color.Be careful this can get hot .After you have mixed them in add your scented oil . You can use as much or as little as you would like. Then pour the liquid in your cup and place your wax in the center. Do not eat.How simple but so cute ...................................

Blogmas day 19 : Product empties

Simple kind to skin soothing toner
I have no idea toner , I think it removes any extra oils ( I have a lot of that ). I brought the big one for £1 at savers and used it all . It also makes my skin feel really smooth and soft

The body shop strawberry shower gel
This had a really nice strawberry scent , as you would expect . I used this in the shower everyday until I ran out because it made my skin smell and feel really nice . I probably won't buy this again because I want to try different scents out.

Own moment perfume by 1D
This is a really nice scent perfect all year round . I like the packaging because its pink and elegant . The 30ml lasted me a year and I will try to buy it again .

Aveeno active naturals handcream
I raved about this on Blogmas day 17 so go and read that .

Collection lasting perfection concealer
People rave about this concealer and I know why . It blends really nicely and cover dark circles and blemishes really well . I used the shade 1 which is perfect for me and will rebuy it .

Simple light moisturiser
This is a very light moisturiser which is perfect for oily skin because it moisturises but not too much.I like it but as it gets cooler my skin needs more then is so I will not rebuy it.

Simple kind to skin facial wash
This makes your skin feel really soft and fresh . It doesn't have a nice scent but it is good . I use it every day and would recommend it . Although it is a little thin so if u have dry skin I wouldn't recommend it


Hope u guys enjoyed this , sorry its a bit short.

Blogmas day 18 : Product I regret buying

1.Boots essential eye makeup remover gel
When I was on my holiday I cleverly forgot my wash bag so I went straight to boots only to remember I only had £3:50 so I went to their own brand and got a facial wash , a moisturiser and this . It is a gel which really stings and stinks through the skin into your actual eyeball. The worst £1:50 I have ever spent and it doesn't ever get rid of your makeup.

2.Maybelliene 710 colour sensational lipstick
I thought this would be a really nice nude , I couldn't have been more wrong. It feels really strange on the lips and the colour is horrid. Its really light shade wise but fills the cracks in the lip and wears of so easily . Although there are some really nice shades in the range just this one isn't nice.There is one good thing though ; the scent . It is a vanilla scent and I wish they made it into a perfume.

3.The Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic 1
This is a rubbish dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 1 palette.It has very similar shades but they aren't pigmented and have a strange glitter effect on my eye . The packaging is scratched really easy . It would rather pay the £38 then buy this.

4.Miss Sporty Fabulous Lash curved brush
In my 10 facts about me I said I have never used another mascara but I have this one because it came with a book and I got the wand out but got knocked myself and it went on my hand . I washed it straight away but then my hand swelled and it was really sore . This could be good but I do regret having it.

5. Revlon Colourstay palette
First it claims to last 16 hours and when I went abroad I wore this on my eyes to test it out. I had this on for around 18 hours but it lasted around 6 before creasing and then by 10 hours it was gone . There is 4 shades one light to highlight , a gold for the whole lid , a pink for the outer corner and a brown for the crease . They aren't pigmented and are horrid .The feel is greasy and weird. Waste of my money .

Guys don't buy these :(

Blogmas day 17 : Best lip balms for chapped lips

I get chapped lips so easily so these are my favs :

Joules honey fragranced lip balm
I think I talked about this before but in the winter I get chapped lips so my mom gave this to me and it is super nourishing but also looks like a lip balm which is a bonus . But now I have ran out so I'm going to have chapped lips again unless I find something else.

I love cosmetics lip balm
This is a pink tinted lip balm  which smells like strawberries but also is moisturising . It is a very deep wide pot and has lasted me 3 years so I probably should throw it away but why would I throw an amazing products away. You can use it as a lip gloss to add colour to your face as well.

The lipsyl cherry blossom lip balm
This is a matte stick one which smells amazing but tastes horrible . As I said its matte so I thought it wouldn't be very good but it is . There is a slight tint which I like . I picked this up at the pharmacy whilst in the queue and now I want more .

Maybelline baby lips Dr Rescue in too cool 
Generally I like Maybelline but I love the baby lips and this is my favourite. It smells like mint and makes your lip quite shiny but skinks in slowly to make sure the lips are soft.It makes my lips feel really good and you can get coloured ones but this isn't tinted . Well done Maybelline.

Blogmas day 16 : 10 facts about me

Fact 1
My favourite colour ever is pink . When I got my room decorated at my old house it was pink. When I got my room decorated at my new house it was pink . But I only like dark pink not baby pink.

Fact 2
I  am a Youtube addict . I watch a least 16 youtubers a day . The sacconejoly and Eve Bennet are my holy grail though oh and Zoella. If you don't already go and check them out.

Fact 3
I love tea but hate coffee with a passion . It tastes horrible and has a overpowering scent .

Fact 4
I have to sleep with a blanket over me and with no lights on . The blanket I have/use is from Tesco and its so soft and is a velvet blue colour which goes with my room . If I have a light on I will not sleep , dunno why just don't.

Fact 5 
I have only ever used one mascara , the No7 intense volume because it makes my eyelashes thick and long so I have never wanted a new/different one.

Fact 6
My favourite film is The Hunger Games 1 because I can watch it all day long and it is packed with action but also has those sad scenes . If you haven't seen it go and watch it.

Fact 7
I was born in February because its the best month ever and I'm in year 7.

Fact 8
I used to play very competitive tennis but then quit because I'm not a very competitive person and stopped enjoying it. I now prefer netball and play goal keeper.

Fact 9
My favourite celebrity is Rita Ora because she is so pretty and always looks stunning . She also has an amazing voice and I think she is just amazing generally .

Fact 10
My favourite food is pizza and my favourite flavour is Hawaiian . However , my favourite dessert is cheesecake and if I had to choice one food to eat for the rest of my life it would be this.I don't fav flavour but I really like toffee and raspberry.

Blogmas day 15 : Best handcreams of ALL time

I get very dry hands and I'm sure you guys do to so I thought I would recommend/help you .

Aveeno active natural hand cream
This is the best moisturising hand cream EVER . It has no scent which is a bummer but it really makes it up when you apply it . It skinks in so fast and your hands don't feel greasy or oily ( something I hate ). Also , it lasts for 24 hours and through hand washing because if your like me and wash your hands a 100 times a day its really good. You get 75ml which lasts me about 1 and a half months . You can find this anywhere I get mine at my pharmacy.

Dirty works your soft touch hand cream
This my second favourite but it is a lot thinner . You get 25ml more and I think this is cheaper. It sinks in fairly quickly and smells very florally even on my hands . It doesn't last all day but I find myself applying it twice . It has coca butter which is very good for your hands . Good but not fab.

Zoella wonder hand cream
This is my third favourite which smells really nice , not too strong . It is slightly pricey at £5:50 but totally worth it . The packaging is so nice and I like to display it in my room . Its super moisturising and if I apply it before going to bed in the morning my hands fell so soft. It lasts me around 2 months and I have stocked up buying 4 . Well done Zoey.

Palmers coco butter hand cream
This smells so nice just like chocolate . I love it. It is also super moisturising but doesn't sink in very fast and is very thick but its really good. It lasts on my hands for around 8 hours and if I don't use it I can really notice . I always keep one in my bag and think you should to. I go through one every 4 months so three a year which isn't that many considering how much I like it .

Hope this helps

Blogmas day 13 : Top 10 under £10 drugstore makeup products

Now most of these I have already talked about but they are my top ten so.... Beware there is a lot of collection products

Superdrug eyelash curler
I didn't want to spend loads of money on a eyelash curler so when this was really cheap I was really happy.It makes your eyelashes nicely curled and really nice. You get the curler and two of the foam things ?

Collection illuminating touch brightening concealer
I really like collection as a brand and have quite a few products ( as you will figure out ) so I thought I would give it a go . There is a variety of colours for all skin colours but natural 2 was perfect for me . It works super under the eye and also on blemishes . Aslo it blends out really easily.

Collection speedy highlighter
Basically tis is a cream highlighter on a stick . You just smear this on the tops of your cheek bones and it looks fab. It is easy to blend and very pigmented.

Collection work the colour lip butter
Another collection product,sorry.I really like this range but Cappuccino 2 is my favourite because it is really moisturising and is a very pretty pink. It is a stick and a dupe for the Revlon ones.

Collection eyes uncovered nude palette
This is a day to night palette. The first 3 shades are a matte white,a shimmery cream and a shimmery gold ,my most used,.The other 3 are shimmery browns ( the most unused).The shades all work together and a statement for me.

Miss Sporty water-resistant eye liner pencil.
I never used to wear grey eyeliner in my water line but when I got this I fell in love literally.It lasts all day without smudging . Amazing .

Tanya Burr lip-gloss
I love nudes and nudes love me. Lunch date is the perfect lip gloss nude I own. Its so nice.

Poundland powder brush
I don't like poundland makeup but this brush is so soft and applies my powder and foundation so nicely but does poundland count as drugstore I think so.

Miss sporty perfect lipstick and Rimmel London stay matte powder
I have talked about this lipstick and powder so many times so check out different posts

Blogmas day 12 : 4 cute nail art ( 2 Festive and 2 none festive )

 A Snowglobe

 Next paint small white blobs on the whole nail
 Paint any sort of festive item as a background the your done.

Strawberries
Paint a red base coat all over the nail

With a black paint some small blobs for seeds.
Cover with a clear top coat and your done.

A Christmas tree
Firstly paint your nail with a very dark green for the background
Then with a much lighter shade of green paint the top of the quarter of the nail so it looks like a cloud but you can t see the top.
Now get a slightly lighter then the dark green green and paint a small triangle for the top of the tree
Get a slightly colour and join the triangle to another triangle.
Continue this until the end of the nail
Then paint a glitter like a top coat over the nail to finish it off.

Watermelons
To start you ca paint your whole any colour you like .
Then in the middle use a red to paint a semi circle
For the seeds/pips use a black to paint very small dots then your done.

Blogmas day 11 : Christmas essentials

A onsie
If you don't have a Christmas onsie , WHAT . Onsies are so comfy and adorable . There so many cool designs but my fa has to be my reindeer from Matalan last year , I cant remember the price but I lurve it .

Ear muffs

I am a very cold person who hates to wear a hat so ear muffs are so handy . They keep your ears warm and are so adorable . My are grey and fluffy from Next but I'm sure primark would do some.

A dark berry lipstick

I think a dark berry lipstick or lip-gloss can really pull together a makeup look especially during autumn and winter . My favourite lip-gloss is the Maybelline colour sensational in 360 stellar berry which has a very gorgeous shimmer and the collection lasting colour in 14 blackberry fool which is matte.These are both really affordable and pigmented shades which I adore.

Fairy lights

Fairy lights look cute all year round but I espically love them in winter on a shelf . You can have fairy lights any where though like on a Christmas tree or even in a bathroom . Also they are sold everywhere and are really cheap . I have quite a few but mainly from amazon .

Boots

Boots come in loads of styles from knee high to ankle to flat to heeled. My are slightly heeled from Newlook in a velvetly black but there is loads of variety on they're website. They are really comfy and go with loads .

Blogmas day 9 : 4 best Xmas films

Film 1 : Elf
OMG!If you have never seen this film you are missing out big time. There are funny bits , sad bits , werid bits and there is a huge theme of love.It is about a human who was raised by elfs and goes to find his real dad in New York and has to overcome problems. It is appropriate film for kids,familys and generally any one. Last year , me and my family watched Elf on Christmas eve .

Film 2 : Santa paws
This is for those girly girls like me . It is sad but I remember when I was 7 adoring it because of the sudden out bursts of songs and the outfits . Its about when Santa and his dog goes to New York to raise spirits but then Santa loses his memory and finds Quin who helps save Christmas.    However, there are some sad scenes . Suitable for anyone really.

Film 3 : The snowman
This film has no words .This film has no words because it doesn't need them because the message is so clear.I don't want to spoil it but watch it.

Film 4 : The nativity
Everyone loves Christmas right ? Well think again . Somone doesn't like Christmas in fact he HATES it. So when he has to hold a nativity he thinks his doomed and the problems keep growning but what will happen ? You will have to watch it to find out. An amazing family film and there is another 2 in the series both are great as well.

Blogmas day 2 : Nikki strange eye shadow palette review

I received this palette last year and thought I would review it so here goes:

(COLOURS GO FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT IN ORDER)

Colour 1

This is a shimmery pale cream colour perfect for brightening the inner corner or just a very natural eye. It is pigmented but not amazingly.However it is one of my favs in the palette .

Colour 2

Now this is a fabulous shimmery gold colour which I lurrrrvvvvvve.If you know me you will know that I always wear a gold eyeshadow and this is the one.It look so nice on the eye and yeah its amazing.

Colour 3

I do not like a bronze eyeshadow on my eyes so this doesn't work on me and I have never used it so I cant review it.

Colour 4

If you like a shimmery brown , this is for you.It has a lovely glid on texture which is not too dark.Its a really nice colour.

Colour 5

This is a completely matte brown which is great for a everyday look but I use it with colour one for a really nice pale eye.The only problem is that it isn't as pigmented as the rest and creases.

Colour 6 

I have pale skin so don't wear very dark colours and this being a quite dark brown I dislike it.HoweIver it is a nice shade .

Colour 7

Ooohhh, now this is a dark , sparkly green which I wore on Halloween and it lasted 4 hours without moving or smudging.This is not a everyday colour but for a occasion I like it.

Colour 8

Right this is a pinky toned nude eyeshadow thing.It has a werid look,feel,smell and its horrid.

Colour 9

Yessssss,this is a pink matte . I lurve this with a brown in the crease .Its super pretty and natural.

Colour 10

Well to be honest this is a strange colour - not quite brown.not quite pink,not quite matte but not quite shimmery.Its super werid and un-used sadly.

Colour 11

This is a pink.This is a pink shimmery.This is a pink shimmery colour.What elese can I  say.

Colour 12,13,14

These are unused because I  well I don't know .I just don't where blue or grey and they are blue and grey.

This is a good palette for starters or anyone . If I was u I would buy it . Really good

I slather this on my lips before bed and in the morning my lips are sooooooooo soft.But there is only one problem.You can not buy it anywhere because its in a set but I don't think you can purchase the set anymore.

Collection speedy highlighter
OMG. You apply a small amount to your cheek bones and they look amazing. The best £3:99 I ever spent.FAB-U-LOUS!

Superdrug exfoliating mud mask
When I was wondering around superdrug I saw this for £2:50 and thought why not. So when I got home I tried it and.... my skin felt amazingly soft, moistured and just really nice . This is a essential for me and I use it weekly . I like it so much I have brought a different one from the range.

The Body Shop strawberry shower gel
I was in the body shop and I saw a body wash and then I was in the cheque waiting to pay when I saw a set of shower get and a body puree instead. This has a really nice strawberry scent and leaves my skin feeling really nice.

The Body Shop body puree
This was the other product in the set which cost £6 and you got: A 60ml shower gel, a 60ml body puree and shower puff.This would make a really good Xmas pressie.But back to the product, it absorbs into the skin really fast and leaves the skin soft but not sticky.

The lush frozen bath bomb
This is my alltime fav lush bath bomb. It turns your water a really nice colour and makes my skin feel incredible . I stocked up and use it a least once every 2 weeks

SORRY THERE IS NO PHOTOS , I TRIED REALLY HARD BUT THEY WERE NOT WORKING...

Neutrogena pink grapefrut range review !!!!!!!!!

*This post is not sponsored and all opinions are my own *

Now I love looking after my skin and trying out new products . So when I was browsing the superdrug website and spotted the  Neutrogena half price offer, i was so excited . I was so excited that I brought the whole range . Here is my review:

Visibly clear facial wash £4:89

This product has an amazing scent and leaves my face feeling soft and refreshed . I use this every morning and evening and there is no issues. Aside the from actual product the packaging is really simple and cute . I used to worry about leaks but because the pump has a lock my worry has vanished on the face of the earth . For the price I definitely think it is worth it.

Visibly clear L/E moisturizer £4:99

This moisturizer comes in a really cute box which looks really professional but the actual packaging is quite plain and boring. This product is not my favorite and really doesn't work for me. I used this on Wednesday night and when I woke up on Thursday I had a huge breakout running all the way through my T - zone . Also it it 10p more expensive which I think is rubbish.

Visibly clear daily scrub £4:95

I used this after my breakout from the moisturizer and it actually really  helped my skin get back on track . I don't use it every day but I do use it every week like an exfloiator. It is really good and worth the money.

Visibly clear cream wash £4:99

When I first used it, I thought it felt really strange on my skin but now I am used to it . After it is washed off my skin feels amazing . Its my favorite in the range. Another reason i like it is the price.

I would recommend this range to anyone.

I smell Xmas .....

I love making my own gifts to give to others at Christmas so this week I will show you an amazing DIY candle .

                                                                    You will need:

- Soy candle wax ( or any candle wax of your choice)

- Candle wick

-Mason jar

-A hot glue gun

-A piece of card stock

-A double boiler(a saucepan with a glass bowl over the lid )

-A food thermometer

-Oven gloves or mits

-Fragrance oil

-Colorants (optional)

-A container with a spout 

Before you began, make sure you have the appropriate type ans size wick for the size and kind of candle your makin.  In most craft stores where you can find these supplies, recommendations will be made on the packaging as to what type and size wick you should use depending on your project (and I promise it’s a lot simpler than it sounds!)

Step 1: Begin melting your wax. For this project I used soy wax that I melted in a make-shift double boiler made from a saucepan and a pyrex bowl sitting over it. I planned to fill one pint-sized mason jar, so I melted approximately 14 ounces of soy wax (I purchased a 1lb container of soy wax and had very little left over). I melted the wax on low to medium-low heat. Never leave melting wax unattended!

Step 2: While this is melting (and while you’re keeping an eye on your wax), secure your wick to the bottom of your mason jar. Apply a bit of hot glue to the center of your jar and hold it in place until it dries.

Step 3: Arrange your wick such that it stands upright. My wick was a bit stiff and stood upright reasonably well on its own, but I didn’t want to risk it falling over when it was sitting in a jar of hot wax. I ended up taking a piece of leftover thick card stock, cutting it into a circle, hole-punching the center, and then cutting away a section of the circle so I would have room to pour my hot wax.

I then put a dab of hot glue on the rim of my mason jar and glued the card stock down so it would not get bumped off accidentally. (Fortunately, dried hot glue applied to glass is relatively easy to peel off when you’re done!) This is just one of several ways you could balance your wick—there are no rules, as long as your wick is standing up straight!

Step 4: When your wax is melted, allow it to cool a bit before adding in your colorants (if desired) and fragrances. Wax purchased in craft stores will typically come with a guide that recommends an ideal temperature for adding fragrances and colorants to your wax depending on the type of wax you’re using. For my wax, it was recommended to add in fragrance oil when the wax had reached between 120 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. (This is because some fragrances can lose their scent when added to high-temperature liquids.)

To speed up the cooling process, I poured my hot wax into a room-temperature pyrex measuring cup with a spout.

If you purchased a fragrance oil or colorants designed for candle making, it should come with guidelines as to how much of each to use given the volume of wax you are working with. I ended up using approximately one ounce of a Milk and Honey fragrance oil from brambleberry.com. Bramble Berry’s website also offers a guide that suggests how much of their oils to use in a given project.

 Then your done . Just tie and cute ribbon around the outside , add a label and its sooo  adorable.

Sleepover essentials

Recently(yesterday) I went to a sleepover and these are my absolute essentials .

1.Comfy PJs .The best thing about sleepovers is have fun they are but no one wants to be sitting in watching a film in tight skinny jeans and a tight top so get comfy . New look and primark do the best

2.A good film. Now this is a tricky one because everyone has different taste .But , the fault in our stars is good and so is the hunger games . Or if that does not appeal to you , xmovies8.com has everything including cinema realeases.

3.Snacks. So if you are watching a film what do you need ? Popcorn, pretzels and ice-cream ?Yes please.

4. Face masks . This is a great way to look after your skin and have fun . You can buy ones from boots or even better make your own. My favourite recipe is really easy . Just dampen your face and rub some natural honey all over and leave for five to ten minutes . This helps de-clog your pores .

5.Manicures. I love painting my nails but I'm not very good at doing it ,so having my friends do it for me is great . Or if you don't like that you could buy clear fake nails and paint them instead .

What skin type am I ?

There are 4 main skin types - oily,dry,normal and combination. But which one are u ? In this post I will try to answer that . Enjoy!

Oily
The main clue to having oily skin is shininess. One way to figure out if this applies to you , is to look in a mirror . If you do have oily skin ,  there will be a shine to your face.Another way , is to press a tissue to your face and if it is wet that means your skin is oily.

Dry
This is the complete opposite is to oily . First , feel your skin . If it feeling dehydrated its dry. Also if it feel tight without moisturizer. Another common clue is flakiness, But there are other signs , as well.

Normal

Well to be honest, I don't know that much about this one. I only know 1 thing. You have perfect skin- not to much oil ( oily skin)or not enough oils (dry). Your skin is the best type .There is one sign,no of the above signs.

Combination

Now , this is my element. I have combination - normal and oily. When you read the above the paragraphs , you might recognize different symptoms from different types.That is fine . It only means you have combination.

Hope it hepled .

Whats in my travel makeup ?

Recently I went on holiday to Cornwall and I thought I would show you what I took with me . Hope you like.

Maybelline dream pure BB cream £6:99

This is a lightweight BB cream which  : conceals imperfections, protects against the appearance of blemishes,minimizes the appearance of pores ,clarifies the skins look, conceals redness ,hydrates and complements your skin tone. I really like it and I would recommend it 100%.

Rimmel stay matte powder £3:99

This is a good powder , I will admit that . But everyone raves about how good it is and to be completely honest, it was a let down . It says it helps control shine but it does not.Having oily skin i want that , but i didn't get it . I would recommend the Miss Sporty pressed powder which is a pound cheaper. 

Tanya Burr cosmetics galaxy eye palette £6;99

This eye palette beautiful , from the packaging to the product . There are 4 lovely colors which. can be dressed up or down. I wear moonlight , a sparkly muted grey, all over the lid and snowflake, a sparkly white, in the inner corner and I really like it. By the way , I use the superdry eye blender to create this look.

No7 Intense volume mascara £9;95

This mascara makes my lashes long,defined and voluminous.It is the most expensive mascara i own but by far the best .

Tanya Burr lip gloss in the shade lunch date £5;99 

This lip gloss is the prettiest matte nude ever . I just cant fault it . Its pigmented,long lasting and moisturisng . What else do you want from a lip gloss ?

Maybelline coloursensational shine glossin the shade 360 stellar berry £6;19

For me this lip gloss is a bit daring . Its a dark matte purple . It is pigmented but a little pinky toned and drying .
