high street clothes stores makeup




high street makeup!!

Recently I have noticed that a lot of clothes stores are now bringing out makeup lines. The main one that most people know is topshop. So I went in there the other day to see what kind of products they do and I was really surprised. The stand looks really proffessional and they have a wide range of products to choose from. You can definitely create a whole face of makeup from the collection. 

I just picked up one product because I didn't want to buy to much as I wasn't sure of the quality of the collection. I picked up the BB cream which I'd have to say the product has really good coverage and lasting power. The colour I got is light-medium which is a really good match for me as I am very pale. However when I first put this on I wasn't sure as it look to dark for me but after working it in to my skin it look really nice. the products does feel quite wet to the skin at first but it does set and feel comfortable. I really want to try more of their products so any recommendations I would be highly grateful. The product retails for £10 which is quite expensive considering that some foundations you can buy in boots for £6-£8 which do pretty much the same thing. 



The next product I have picked up is from new look and it's from there pure colour line which is fairly new. The product I picked is there liquid foundation in the colour Porcelain which againg is a great match for me. The product is quite a basic foundation but it does have good coverage and is easy to blend. According to the product it says it is semi-matte which I am not quite sure about but it's a good foundation and blends nicely to the skin. I have normal to dry skin so the semi-matte doesn't really matter to me. However if you are oily then it might not work for you. The packaging is quite good however I've found because the lid is black and matte it does get messy. However apart from that it's really good. The product retails for £4.99 which is very good value for money as you get 35ml. 

My next product I really wouldn't recommend and it's from next. It's there eyeshadow quad from there line called make me beautiful and they have called it perfect look eyeshadows which I couldn't disagree more on. I just found the shadow really, really chalky not very pigmented and just it bit rubbish. The quad retails for £7.50 which is quite expensive considering that the sleek and makeup revolution are around that price and you get way more shadows.

Always remember where we came from

Over the past couple of months I feel that my body has let me down in many ways. It made me ill out of blue which meant I had to build myself up again which I wasn't planning to do. However after doing this I've know realised what's important, after having this blog for nearly 6 years and posting about beauty and my story it's important to remember why I do what I do. I was at a family event yesterday, and after speaking to one of my relatives who actually reads this blog, I suddenly realised that I've kind of lost touch with why I do, what I do. My story is unique and I am very lucky to have a physical condition but still be able to do what I love. That's partly why I set this up in the first place, is to show that even through you have something that could potentially hold you back that doesn't mean that it should. Having cerebral palsy and epilepsy has had it challenges for sure, however it also shown me the strength I have. I think in the day and age...

top 5 nude lips

Top 5 nude/ neutral lips  My first one is probably the most expensive of my five and it's the Clarins instant lip perfector. This product is kind of light a natural gloss which a slight colour. The scent of this product is just amazing it smells like vanilla and I just love it!! Like I said before it's the most expensive one at £18.00. My next one is from maybelline and if you saw my post earlier in the week then you may have already seen this but this is probably the most bold colour of the five but still very wearable. This is the maybelline colour sensational in petal pink. I really like this colour because it's not quite matte but it so nearly is. My third one is from rimmel and it's called nude pink. Shade name wise I think that this is quite disappointing as a nude pink I think of being a your lips but better, however this lipstick has quite a orangery undertone. The finish of this lipstick is quite glittery and glossy so ...
