Hey all! As promised here is my review on Collection Cosmetics BB Secrets. £5.99 but I bought this for its introductory price of about £3.49 something like that. I've had this in my makeup bag for almost a year now. When I first used it I won't lie, I hated it. So I pretty much just left it in a drawer and forgot about it till about a month ago. I has SPF 15 and as we here in Blighty have been having a bit of a heat wave I thought this wouldn't be too bad to use. I hate putting on sunblock under my foundation, makes it all oily - anyone else have that problem? So anyway I decided to give it another shot. Ingredients "BB Secrets - your new secret weapon! For that sheer, flawless face. No one need ever know you're wearing makeup" What it boasts  ~ all the benefits of BB technology to provide radiant, flawless skin                        ~ offers great coverage for an even skin tone with its all-in-one moisurising and skin                                        

Hola! & Happy Monday! So a week ago maybe more I was shopping around for a BB Cream (Blemish/Beblesh Balm), my first proper BB Cream. I do realise I'm a tad late on the BB Band-Wagon as we have now moved on to CC Cream (Colour Correct) and even DD Creams (Dynamic Do-all). But hey! What can I say! So knowing very little about what were the best ones and what I should be looking for in my BB cream I took to reading and watching reviews on the best ones and I learned one thing, Western BB Creams seem to be glorified Tinted Moisturisers . ~Now don't quote me on that because like I said I haven't used very many or hardly any, so I can't really form an opinion. The one I have tried did remind me of a tinted moisturiser however - Collections BB Secrets - and yeah I was not totally impressed by this but I'll get back to that a bit later! So one of the main BB Creams that kept cropping up was by Skin79 a Korean brand, and if there is one think I've learned wh

Hello world! So over the last week or so I've picked up a few new makeup goodies and have been trying them out.  So cutting to the chase here's what I've bought & what I think! B. Precise Gel Eyeliner in Chocolate 012 £4.66 - Superdrug Barry M Touch of Magic Lipstick in 324 £4.49 - Superdrug Barry M Khol Pencil in Bronce 28 £2.99 - Superdrug Soap & Glory Supercat Carbon Black Extreme Eyeliner Pen £6.00 - Boots (my arm looks really dirty but its just fluff from our new towels...lovely I know) Barry M Touch of Magic Lipstick   I first heard about this from the latest issue of DARE the Superdrug magazine, and knew I had to try this! On application this lipstick feels smooth, silky and moisturising. It has a waterproof formula with nourishing aloe vera. Your lips natural alkali level determines how pink your pout will go! Its such a nifty little lippie. Every time I've used it my pink has been a different shade. From a deeper red/pink to a bold bright pink. I'v

Hi there! Today I'm going to be telling you about the nspa 4 step beauty ritual. A few months back I was stumbling around Asda looking for a new face wash when I spotted the new nspa beauty ritual range sold exclusively at Asda. The nspa range was created by the Nirvana Day Spa. The Beauty Rituals range is made up of 20 different products including a gift box set with 4 products included. The 4 step program is simple: 1. Cleanse  2. Exfoliate  3. Treat        4. Moisurise All products are paraben-free , dermatologically approved, suitable for all skin types, even sensitive, against animal testing & made in the UK.  Out of the 20 available products I picked a basic 4 to get me started and see whether I liked them. Plus they were on offer 2 for £8 always a bonus.  All products have a nice perfumed scent that's not too overwhelming.  "Step 1: Cleanse to draw out impurites, remove makeup and clarify skin."   Melting Cleansing Gel 125 ml/4.2 floz  ~ £6.00 or part o

Hi! Today I'm going to do a review on Garnier's new primer, the 5 Second Perfect Blur £12.99 for 30ml exclusively at Boots.

Hi! Finally it feels like summer has come to Blighty! That means summery clothes, sandals & flip flops. Today I decided to sit out in the garden and give myself a mani-pedi. I'm going to share with you what I did to get my tootsies feeling tip top and summer ready! 1. Remove all traces of old polish 2. Trim and shape nails & cuticles 3. Buff away hard skin using something like the Scholl Express Pedi 4. Rinse feet-you'll know why! 5. Pick a polish! Use a base coat, I'm using Sally Hansen Hard as Nails -because I love it! Once dry follow with your colour, mine is Barry M-Prickly Pear no.322 and allow to dry. Then follow with your top coat which is my Miss Sporty base and top coat. Once all dry.... 6. Moisturise! You don't have to use a special foot cream to get moisture into your tootsie toes, I'm using Dove's Indulgent Nourishment Hand Cream . 7. Put your sandals on ;P Express Pedi £39.99 from Superdrug, I got mine on offer for £29.99 Barry M Gelly Hi-

Hi! :) Today I did this really easy nail art inspired by a tutorial on youtube by Chiqbelle:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3ypa9AvmQY Its really easy to do. Here's what I used to achieve this look All products were under a fiver, the only item I had to purchased was the masking tape that I got from W H Smiths for £1.49. I really quite like the look! I wanted to do them black and white...turns out I don't own a black nail polish must of binned it in a clear out, and my white nail polish by George is a little pants when your painting your whole nail :( so if anyone knows of a good white nail polish please let me know! The colours are more vibrant in the flesh my camera's seem to do a could job of bleaching the colours a bit :/ *Quick Rave* I'm really loving Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails Nylon + Retinol Strengthener £4.95 from Superdrug. Usually I keep my nails quite sort but let them grow a little longer and they ended up looking quite nice after a home manicure. I

I found this tutorial on youtube:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=431Xqz088Mo   Where the girl in the tutorial finished I carried on doing the same steps and ended up with a mini faux fishtail braid! My arms didn't reach all the way down so I stopped here. What do you think?
