Top February Buys!

Hi guys so today I'm going to share with you a few items that I'm so glad I bought this month. I've bought alot this month but these 5 items are items that have really made a difference and helped me. I don't have photos of all the items but I will link what I can and prices.

So the first item I'm so glad I bought this month is my real techniques brush set by Sam and Nic. I've never really used brushes before but I love these brushes, I use them everyday for foundation, eyeshadow,powder and contouring and they always leave my make up looking amazing. My brush set cost me around £20. I really recommend these brushes whether you use brushes everyday or not.

The next item is the Barry M Brow Kit, I use this everyday now instead of a normal eyeshadow and I think it makes my eyebrows look so much better. Whenever I used eyeshadow it always made my eyebrows look really fluffy where as this brow powder makes them look amazing. The kit consists of a highlighting powder, the brow powder and a brow jel for when you've finished. I bought this product from boots and it cost me £5.99 so a really affordable price.

U.S- I don't know if Barry M is sold in the U.S so i'm not sure where you could buy this other that Amazon or Ebay.

This next item is nothing to do with your face ha! And that is my travel mug. I've not actually traveled with it other that up the stairs from the kitchen but I use it at night because I find it a lot safer for me in bed because I'm very likely to spill drinks, the only fault with this cup is that it takes me about 10 minutes to get the lid on! I bought my travel mug from Peacocks so I wont be able to link it for you as they don't sell there 'home' stuff online but it was £4 and I will like similar items.

My next favourite buy of this month is my Kindle Fire HD6. It has reduced the amount of storage taken up on my phone by loads. You may not know this but I have an Iphone 5C and I have the 8GB and because apple feel the need to fill the phone with loads of factory apps, I'm left with hardly any storage. I use my phone for taking most of my photos when I'm out and all my apps so I'm left with no storage for my music. I contemplated getting an Ipod but I've been wanting to read a lot more this year so the Kindle was the perfect option for me. I got mine on Amazon, obviously! and it cost me £99 and I have the 16GB.

My final item is my Soap And Glory Mist You Madly Body Spray. I use this mostly before I go to bed just so that I'm getting into bed with that flirty scent on me. When I bought this, as I've said before, it wasn't the scent I thought it was going to be, I was hoping for the Soap And Glory Hand Food scent but I love the scent it has anyway and I really recommend it if you want to smell nice but perfume is too expensive or too strong for you. I bought mine from boots and it cost me £3.50

My Skin Care Routine!

Hi guys, so today I'm going to share with you how I keep my skin fresh and healthy with my skincare routine. This has nothing to do with clear skin, my skins not always spot free, in fact i have a massive spot on my chin right now, having clear skin most of the time is just a bonus of my routine I guess.

Since being pregnant my skin has been through a lot with all the hormone changes, so after having Phoebe I decided it was time to start taking care of my skin. I started off by using just one facial scrub before I went to bed. This was the Osiris Avise Apricot Exfoliating Facial Scrub and I'd use this after I'd took my make up off with most of the time a baby wipe! For this product I just wet my face with warm water and then message the product into my face. I then leave the product on my face for a minute and then rinse it off and pat dry with a towel. 

After a while of only doing this, I decided I needed something else as my face still felt  really unhealthy too me. So I started using a face mask every night. I don't use a specific brand, I usually just pick up whatever is on sale. I apply my face mask after using my scrub and leave it on for about half an hour while I watch TV or YouTube.

Around a month later I went shopping and decided to pick up some new products. Now instead of baby wipes which are unhealthy for taking make up off anyway. I use the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. I use this with cotton wool pads. I love this stuff so much because it only takes a few drops to take make up off my whole face.

I also picked up the Cien Aqua Rich Gentle Facial Wash. It says to use this product morning and night but I just use this in the morning to refresh my face before I apply my make up.

Ok guys so that's it for today's post. I'd just like to remind you all that everybody's skin is different. I've had my skin tested and I have dehydrated skin, from no fault but my own however this routine is what works best for me, although it might not work for you. It's all about trying out new products and seeing what works best for you. I do really recommend all these products and think they are amazing.

Valentines Essentials!

Hi guys so I'm sorry I didn't blog Monday , I was so tired after a long day but I'm home now and ready to share my Valentines day essentials. These products are things that I think would make your valentines that little bit better, whether in a relationship or not. I believe that just because your single does not mean you can't enjoy valentines day. People these days are under the impression that valentines day is about your boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other. Valentines day is about LOVE. You don't have to be in a relationship to love, there's family, friends, your dog if you love it. Valentines day is about spending time with others and these items will make your valentines day just that little bit better.

1.  This is the Barry M Shimmer Eye And Lip pencil. Applying this pencil to your lower water line will really widen your eyes and make you look awake and glowing no matter how sad and lonely you are feeling.  

2. This next product is the W7 In The Nude palette, this would do well if you wanted to look sexy and glamorous when going out whether it be with friends or that special someone. There are so many different eye looks you can do with this palette that would guarantee you another date or even more.

3. Red lipstick! this would be an obvious one for valentines day as it's something that most women associate with being sexy and looking good. This red lipstick is by Technic and it's in the colour rouge a levres. It doesn't really matter what brand it is as long as it gives good coverage and makes you look good.

4. Another lipstick! but this one isn't really for the colour but more for the fact that its long lasting which of course would be good if your looking to have a bit of a cheeky kiss or a naughty night. I have used this lipstick quite a lot and it lasts all day even through drinking, eating, kissing, etc. This product is called Maybeline Super Stay 24 Colour. You can get this product in a range of colours and I think this is one of my top picks for valentines day.

5. This is the Laval Eye Liner Pencil obviously to make yourself look sleek and sexy you can use which ever eyeliner you prefer but this is the one I use and I love it! I just think a winger eyeliner make you look so much more confident and like you know what your doing.

6. Another lip colour! This is the Rimmel Lasting Finish Colour Rush in the colour Viva Violet. I've worn this colour a lot and have had a lot of questions about it and even compliments and I'm sure that will be the same for you and what better day to have them, then on valentines day when your feeling low.

7. Candles, of course for your special night! These are Yankee Wax Melts. These are probably the cheapest of the Yankee range, pricing at £1.49. The key to candles on your special valentines night is choosing scents that your partner will like and that will relax them.

8. Of course you want to smell nice on valentines day, right? Remember my January favourites when I said I wanted a perfume/spray that smelt like the Soap And Glory Hand Food? Well, when I saw this, I thought yes! I've found the scent as a spray. I was wrong but it's still an amazing smell and as it says on the bottle 'a flirty floral fragrant body spray'.

Ok, so that's it for this post, I'm sorry I haven't been posting on time the last few days but that ends now, no more excuses, no more messing around.

Get My Go-to Look!

Hi guys so today I'm going to show you how to achieve my current go-to look. My everyday make up look changes all the time but this is the look that I've been doing the last few weeks.


Step 1: So the first thing I do is prime my face with my W7 Prime Magic Camera Ready Primer and then put some Vaseline on my lips. I then move on to applying my concealer and foundation with my beauty blender. You can use what every products you usually use for this step but for those of you who would like to know what I'm using, for foundation I'm using Maybelline FIT in colour 115 ivory and for concealer I'm using W7 conceal me, not a massive fan of this concealer but it does its job so it'll do for now.

Step 2: I then go on to do my eye brows and contour. For my eyebrows; I firstly run an eyebrow brush through them and shape them how I want. I tend to focus on my eyebrows more when I've got my hair up as they're more noticeable. For my eyebrows I'm using Natural collection eye shadow in the colour mocha.


Step 3: I then go onto contouring my face and for that I am using Natural Collection bronzer in the colour Golden Glow. Not a massive fan of this bronzer for contouring in the winter as it is quite shimmery but this is all I've had for the past few weeks as I haven't had the chance to pick up my favourite bronzer which is the Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Contouring Bronzer. So I apply my bronzer under my cheek bones, on my jaw line, on my nose and on my forehead. I then blend everything in with my Rimmel Stay Matte Transparent Pressed Powder which I love. It feels very light weight on my face and it just gives a natural looking coverage.


Step 4: Next I go on to apply my eyeshadow, today I am using my Mini Technic Eye Shadow Pallet in the colour Ombre A Paupieres.

So first I take the lightest shade and sweep that across my eyelids. I then take the colour below that one and blend that from the outer corner of my eyelid into the middle. I then take the top middle colour and blend it out from the outer corner of my eyelid to down below my lower lash line. Finally I take the darkest brown on the pallet and blend that into the crease of my eyelid and carefully blend that out to achieve this look.

Step 5: I now apply my eyeliners. Firstly I apply a black pencil eyeliner, no fancy brand, any eyeliner will do and apply this on my top water line to make my eyelashes look darker. I then apply my NXY Jumbo Eye Pencil in 604 Milk to my lower water line to make my eyes look wider and more awake.

Step 6: I then go on to apply my mascara. The mascara I'm using for this look is W7 Big Lash Mascara in black. For a cheap mascara this is amazing, it makes my eyes look really big and my eyelashes look long and dark.

Step 7: For my final step I will be applying a lip product and the product I am using today is H&Ms

Matte Lip Pen in the colour peace and harmony. I have a love/hate relationship with this lip pen as sometimes it looks really good and other times it doesn't. The other fault with this product is that it breaks really easy, mine was actually broken when i opened it.

So that's it for this post, the final thing I did was spray my face with my Avon Make Up Setting Spray and then I was ready to go. Make sure to come back Wednesday for my next post

The British tag

The British Tag!

Hi guys so today I thought I'd do The British Tag. So to me I know this is traditionally done on YouTube, however I thought this would be a great way for you to get to know me.

1. How many cups of tea do you have a day? How many sugars? 

Ok so, I don't drink tea as much as I drink coffee, for me, tea is one of them drinks that you occasionally fancy. So I'd say if I have a tea, it'll only be 1-2 cups a day and I have 2 sugars.

2. Favorite part of your roast?

I don't tend to have a roast very often. So I guess I'm not a very good British person haha. I do however have a roast at Christmas, which is usually chicken/turkey, stuffing, roast potatoes, stuffing, veg, Yorkshire puddings, mash potato and pigs in blankets. So my favorite part of that would have to be pigs in blankets.

3. Favorite dunking biscuit?

For me any biscuit is a dunking biscuit, I literally dunk whatever biscuit we have in the cupboard in my tea/coffee. So if I had to choose an absolute favorite it would probably be rich tea biscuits. Purely because I am known for dunking for too long and then half the biscuit ends up floating in my drink, rich tea however isn't so much of a bother for this unlike bourbons which are chocolaty and sugary.

4. Favorite quintessentially British pastime?

Okay, so I can't think of anything in particular that I do that could be considered quintessentially British but things I do that other countries maybe don't do/as much are, sitting down with a coffee and watching Eastenders or Hollyoaks and taking a walk to the local shop in the freezing cold.

5. Favorite word?

Crockery. I don't know why this is a favorite, I pretty much just love the way it sounds. Go on say it haha. 

6. Cockney rhyme slang?

I did this in school in year 9 I think and in year 9, I wasn't one for listening much but the only one i do remember is apples and pears.

7. Favorite sweet?
This is a hard one for me! I eat a lot of chocolate more than I do sweets but I love Roundtree's Randoms, Fruit Pastels, Skittles. It would probably easier for me to say what I don't like, which is simply Harribos, absolutely hate them.

8. What would your pub be called?
I've never really thought of this but then unless you are opening a pub, why would you? I love French Bulldogs, i cannot wait to get one so I'll base my name around one of them. I shall call my Pug... The Great French Bulldog.

9. No.1 British person?
I actually have a few favorite British people. Gordon Ramsy, Cheryl Cole, Russel Brand, Jonathon Ross. Just love these people.

10. Favorite shop / Restaurant?
Favorite shop would hands down be H&M, most of my wardrobe is from H&M, although I should really stop shopping online because a lot of the stuff I have received has either been too small or massively too big. My favorite restaurant although for me it's not really a restaurant as me and my boyfriend Alex always eat in the car, would have to be Subway. We eat at subway a lot, I'm not really sure Subway is British though.

11. What British song pops into your head?
Sorry nothing, that screams Britain but the song that poped into my head was Cheryl's I Don't Care.

12. Marmite?
Blugh, hate it. It will never be seen entering my mouth.

Okay, so that's it for my British Tag, let me know some of your favorite British things and make sure you follow me on my Instagram @kirafelicialindxn

Red winter jumper
