December favourites

Favourites of December!

I thought that i had better get this blog post up before it was still allowed to do this ( jokingg )
Okay so here is a list of things which i love and been using a lot in December.







.  Nuetrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash 
After finishing all of my other face washes ( i have done a review all on them http://beautybile.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/reviewing-face-washes.html )
I wanted to try a brand that i have never tried before. The first thing i want to say is the smell of this thing! I love the fresh, zingy sent. If you don't like very sharp scents this may not be the face wash for you. This is great for awakening you seances in the morning! I will also be doing a detailed review on this face wash.

. Charlie Body Sprays
Firstly just to say i am useless at describing scents so this will be interesting! 
I love body sprays, but i don't like overpowering or extremely strong scents. If you use to much you can strong very strong! What i do is i spray and then shimmy into it - yeah don't judge! 
I have been using these a lot and "Chic" is my personal favourite. These sprays are also very inexpensive, i would recommend that you pick a few of these up.


. So Magic Perfume by Lancome
A another scented thing - oh dear!
I have  had this perfume for a while but never really used a lot until now. This was a gift from my grand mare a few years a go. I used to use it as a room spray, what a waste of lovely perfume!
I have been wearing this perfume a lot recently and i think i will be wearing into January too. This scent is not sweet but i think it is slightly on the stronger scenes. As you can see i have used a lot. 

. Baby Lips in Cherry Me
Everyones has raved about these for quite a while now. My lips get very dry and horrible in the winter so a lip balm is very nessary. I love how this has a amazing scent i could smell forever! There are balms that are tinted and are not, this one is not. i love these lip balms. Get some!

.  Revlon Lip Butter In Juicy Papaya 
I love these lip butters and if you don't have any already i would defiantly getting some! I have mentioned this lip butter in many blog posts and my love still grows strong! I would call this my lip enhancer as when you put it on it looks extremely natural and really enhances your natural lip colour. If you are  bit scared of adventuring in to orange lip stick/butters, this would be a great one for you as the colour in the bullet does not come out on your lips.

. 17 Fast Finish Nail Polish 
I have been loving reds/burgundy as you know and thus nail polish has just really been going with what i have been wearing. My sister is wearing it as well. I think a very fine glitter nail polish on the top look amazing. The glitter nail polish that personal i have been wearing is by Barry M in Diamond, looks like this.

. Solar Oil Nail and Cuticle Conditioner 
Going with the same nail track it is still very important to moisturise your cuticle. I got this cuticle oil from my aunty ( hello if your reading! ) she has a amazing nail bar and gave this to me and when ever i paint my nails i always put it on - as it gets colder that will take its toll on your hands so its important to use this. It also smells amazing so thats a plus.

. MUA Blusher in Bon Bon
I am sure you are aware of the brand MUA, but incase you are not it is a British brand that are very inexpence and is a equivalent on the brand ELF in the US. This blusher is £1 yes £1! It gives a lovely glow to the face, but the only thing that i would say is that when you swirl you brush in the blusher is can become kind of flakey i want to say, but lovely pigmentation. it does not stay on all day as i re applied it but i soupous that i what you get for a £1 blush. Still love it though!

. Rimmel Bronzer
I normally do not like bronzers as i think they can look a bit orange and weird. i tried this think that i going to give it away but end loving it. I put it on my friend and it looked stunning on her so i tried it on myself. Good price, Love it, Get it!

. Real Techniques Brushes 
These brushes are amazing quality and i can not give them enough praise. All of the brussels stay in and they are just amazing!

Hello 2014

2013 into 2014


I have sat down and had a really big review  on 2013 and on 2012. I always think it is good to think about the years, i was talking to my best friend and telling her that i went very deep into my review on the years . I will not be going that deep again..

After thinking about that it is only right to start this year off with a positive view and attitude. After two very turbulent year i am determined to make 2014 the best ever. I find it hard to stick to resolutions but i have made a list that i want to keep to. At the end of this year i will look back and see what i have achieved.



Drink more water
When you are very busy and active in a day your mind is always very set on different things. I can go through a whole day without drink any water, oops. This is not good for the body or mind. Drinking a lot of water is beneficial for the skin and can make you feel a lot better inside and out. 


Think positive
 I can that in a situation i don't see the positive enough. I will be more likely think of the negatives of something before i think about anything positive. If i feel down or anxious i can work my self up about something and be in a right negative mind frame. I need to stop finding the wrongs in everything and start looking for the great things in a bad situation

picture from google

Read a bit more
Having dyslexia i find it very hard to read and wright. This is a definition that i found :
  1. 1.
    a general term for disorders that involve difficulty in learning to read or interpret words, letters, and other symbols, but that do not affect general intelligence.


Writing  a blog is very therapeutic for me and i helps me with school work. Think about how many spellings i have to go through when writing  a big blog post....
You can only imagine what it was like when my mum couldt understand why i was useless at reading and writing . It can be very hard to go school with dyslexia because when you look at other people who are getting very high marks and they are unhappy, this leaves me feeling  very thick and other adjectives. And this goes back to thinking positively. Being in these bad negative spiral moods also kicks in my anxiety and panic attacks - great.
Even though reading is particularly hard for me i love getting my head into a good story but with help i get through the story and it is the greatest feeling when you achieve something you have set your mind on.


Don't sweat the small stuff
Being naturally a very worried person (well that panic and anxiety for you all). I can tend to get very overly stressed over small and insignificant things. I think i need to learn that somethings really don't matter and i should not give a f, 2014 is going to be a year of minimal stress and maximum  enjoyment.

Be more confident in your own skin
I love this quote. I love how it implies that you are you and you cant change that and don't let anyone else change you. Surround yourself with people that brings out the best in you and don't be anything else but you. It can be very easy to lose yourself with other people around you.



So there are a few of my personal goals/challenges i have set myself. As i said when i began my blog i was going to wright about beauty, fashion and lifestyle type posts.

What sort of challenges/goals have you set yourself?

Little Ways To Make You Feel Better In The Winter

Winter

This is not my typical blog post but i have decided to give it a go!
You may live somewhere in the world where it is warm, sunny and warm. Well not in London! Here it is cold and horrible. Im not feeling on top form which is not the greatest for Christmas!
So here are little way that i have for dealing with colds, coughs and just feeling under the weather!

Lemon and honey 

You will need:
. Chopping board 
.Honey ( Any you like! )
. Lemon
.A cup or mug
. A knife 
. A lemon juicer

Step 1

Okay so first thing that you want to do is fill up with water in you  kettle. Make sure not to boil the water as when you add the lemon it will kill all of the vitamin C in the lemon.



Step 2



 Next add you honey in to your mug or cup and then pour your warm water into you mug. Then stere 

Step 3


Okay next you want to cut your lemon in two, be careful thought i don't want you cutting yourself!


Next squeeze your lemon slices and then pour the lemon juice into your warm honey drink.
Then mix thought and there you have a warm sharp, sweet drink that will help your throat and make you feel a bit better!



Lemsip 

If lemon and honey is not strong enough for you you could try this.

You will need this:
.Warm water
.Mug or cup
.Lemsip packet


Please not that lemsip contain paracetamol so please be responsible!




Please take note of this!!

Step 1

Okay so this is pretty straight forward but you put water into the mug, then  pour the powder into your mug.

Then pour the warm warter into the mug and drink!




Im sorry if you felt like this was a boring blog.
I just thought of doing something a bit different!
Thanks for reading!
Byeee!

My Everyday Makeup Tutorial

Everyday Makeup

This is probably the most nervous i have been wrighing  a blog post. To be honest im not really sure why. But despite me being very nervous and having anxiety i will do this blog post! 
I often thought just not doing this and instead just doing a review but then i thought what is the point of doing same thing so i am doing this.

So here is a picture of me and my everyday makeup!
So lets get started!



 1)
To start and prep my skin as always i will use the Cyclax Vitamin E Face And Body Cream











2) Next i will be use the ever so loved Collection Lasting Perfection Consoler In Fair. I usually put this under my eyes and anywhere else if there is a spot or a blemish or something like that. 

Okay so here i am blending in the consoler with a flat foundation brush by QVS. These two products really work well together and the consoler gives very high coverage. My skin is okay so i tend not to where foundation unless i really need it.
    
3) Okay so next step is blusher! I love blusher and it is one of my personal favourite parts of doing my blusher. So lately i have been using the Sleek Blusher In RoseGold in 926. This blusher gives a beautiful   glow to your face and i love it! Im not trying to swear at you either it was just the only way i could swatch it and show you the blusher.





I will use the Seventeen Powder Brush.

4) Next on to eyes! Okay so usually i will use the primer in the NCY Individual Eyes Created For Brown Eyes. In my opine i like this primer better than the Primer Potion By Urban Decay but still a good primer never the less.

So i will apply this all over my lip.
Okay so for eye shadow i will be using the Revlon Collar Stay Pallet in Precocious 



The thing that i love about this pallet it that you can create a really smoky look but then you can create a natural pretty look which i usually use everyday.

I really don't like this photo but it was the best one to show you the eye shadow . So i apply the lights shade to my lid and then i will put a slightly darker shade to the other corner of my eye to add definition to my eye if i want a more smoky look.


4) Next is mascara i feel like a makeup if not quick complete with out a bit of mascara. Everyday i use the Rocket Volume which i love forever and a day!



Here i am just applying it.

5) Lippy! Okay so for my lipstick i usually use Le Rouge Absolute in 06

This lipstick is beautiful pigmenting and moisturising . It has a very good staying power and looks lovely!


Wow!
That took a very long time to edit, take pictures and wright!
I hope that you enjoyed this post and that you may try it at home!
I will post a few more pictures at the bottom if you would like to see the overall finished look!
Thank you for reading 
Byeee! x

Bourjois Shine Edition Lipstick

Lippy!

I am a massive massive lipstick junkie! I love everything lip to pieces! 



I am a huge lipstick junkie. I am always looking for new lippys to add to my ever growing collection. Bourjois is a gorgeous brand which i am absolutely in love with. Everything i have tried from the brand has been amazing and this is no exception. These lipsticks are priced at £7.99. They glide on extremely easily with amazing shine build-able pigmentation. I would describe these as a bit of a lip butter. I love darker berry, cranberry shades in the winter/ autumn and these do not dry out the lips at all and are totally moisturising, and feel like a light weight balm. The packaging and shape of the lipstick is lovely and it also makes it very easy for application.

The price of this high street lipstick is a total bargain and i would recommend this for yourself or for a Christmas  prezze! I will defiantly be extending my collection very soon!


I hope that this has helped!
Also tell me if you have any more ideas for future blog posts!
