Products I'm trying out #1 ❤

I seem to have done one hell of a lot of shopping lately and I have acquired quite a few new products to put to the test!

I am trying out the Nars lipgloss in the shade Turkish Delight because I had heard a lot about these lip glosses but I had only heard one person speak about this particular shade and it looked like the perfect colour for Spring so I thought I'd give it a go.

I am trying out the Daniel Sandler watercolour blush in the shade Cherub because I think the world and it's mother are raving about these and it was unlike anything I had seen before, it's so unique and different, I was curious and had to try it!

I am trying out the Soap&Glory No Clogs Allowed Face Mask because I have heard a few people talking about this and when I was reading the description, it sounded like the answer to all my problems and it was on offer in boots, £11.50 reduced to £7.62 and it was on 3 for 2 so I couldn't resist!

I am trying out the MAC Brush Cleanser because I was looking for something to spot clean my brushes to save me having to go through the tedious deep cleaning process regularly. I am the queen of procrastination and I'm extremely lazy so this seemed like the perfect solution!

The last thing I'm trying out is the Benefit 6 piece Skincare set as I had a makeover in benefit and really liked the look of some of the skincare products they used on me and this was the perfect way to really try them all out and decide which ones to get the full size of and for £14.50, it's a bit of a bargain because like all benefit minis, they are very good sizes!

There will hopefully be a full review coming on some of these products in the near future, and if you have any questions or requests, be sure to leave a comment or tweet me and follow me on Instagram!

Top 5 products under £5 ❤

Not everyone likes to splurge on beauty products, unlike us beauty bloggers who don't hesitate at spending around £20 on a lipstick, so I thought I'd do a post on my top 5 things that I couldn't live without that definitely won't break the bank!

The first thing is the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, what a surprise! This stuff is seriously amazing, the coverage is amazing and its the only concealer I have been able to find that is light enough to highlight under my eyes with my very pale skin and it lasts for ages!

The next thing is the Rimmel Stay Matte which is a product that definitely lives up to the hype! It sets my foundation brilliantly and keeps me matte all day without looking cakey and blurs any imperfections. This is something that I have repurchased time and time again and will continue to do so!

The next thing is the Maybelline Color Tattoos which are amazing! They come in so many different shades and they are extremely pigmented and stay on all day without creasing without the need for a primer or being set with other shadows. I have the shade on and on bronze but I definitely need to get some more!

The next thing is the Rimmel Scandaleyes Nude Eyeliner because this is the perfect way to brighten up your eyes and make them look bigger and more awake without the harshness of a white. It's waterproof so it will stay in your waterline all day without fading or smudging.

Last but not least, we have the iconic Maybelline Baby Lips. They are definitely worth the hype! They are so moisturising and feel nice on the lips and aren't sticky. They also come in all different colours and formulas so everyone can find the perfect one for them!

I've been nominated for a Liebster Award!

I have been nominated for a Liebster Award by the lovely Chloe from Simple Beauty Chatter!

If you are unfamiliar with the Liebster Award, liebster is a German word meaning sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, and welcome. I have to answer the 11 questions given to me by the blogger that nominated me, write 11 random facts about myself, choose 11 bloggers with under 200 followers to pass this on to and give them 11 questions to answer in their post. You also have to link back to the blogger that nominated you.

Chloe's questions
1) Why did you start your blog?
I started my blog because I absolutely love beauty and fashion and I didn't have the confidence to start a YouTube so I thought a blog would be the perfect way for me to meet new people with the same interests and have a new hobby.
2) If you could only use one brand of makeup for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I would probably say Mac because every product I have tried, I have loved and it's not too expensive when you compare it to the likes of Chanel, Dior etc.
3) Who is your role model in life and why?
I've never really thought about it and I really don't know because there are so many inspirational people that I look up to, I don't think I could narrow it down to just one!
4) What would be your dream job?
As boring as it sounds, I've always wanted to be an accountant! I'd also like to be a teacher or a makeup artist!
5) If you could move anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
I would love to live in New York because it's an amazing city and I would love to be able to try out all the American makeup! I would also like to live in Australia because they have warm weather all year round and I'd love to get away from the constant rain in England!
6) What is the most recent beauty product you bought and do you like it?
The last beauty product I bought was the Soap&Glory No Clogs Allowed face mask. I've only used it once, but so far so good and there will hopefully be a review coming soon!

7) What is your favourite clothes shop, which you always go to?

I would probably say Primark because it is reasonably priced and they have a lot of nice things for all sorts of occasions. The only bad thing is you can't see a lot online and you can't order online.

8) If you could describe yourself in one word, what it be?

Little!

9) What is your guilty pleasure?

This is embarrassing...... but if I was being totally honest, I would have to say Downton Abbey. I have never missed an episode and I have all of the series on DVD.

10) What do you want to achieve by the end of the year?

I would really like to have achieved some good GCSE results, preferably A*'s and I would like to have a somewhat successful blog and I would like to have built up enough confidence to start a YouTube!

11) Have you got a hidden talent?

Not really!

11 Random Facts

1) My nickname is Little Em!

2) I have been dancing since I was 4

3) I absolutely love lasagna and cauliflower cheese

4) Chocoholic

5) Makeup Junkie (shocker!)

6) I'm short!

7) I'm Bristolian (and no, I do not sound like a farmer.....much..)

8) I'm petrified of Spiders

9) I drink at least 6 cups of tea a day, it's really bad.

10) I have an obsession with Ted Baker and Mac

11) Onions scare me

My Top 5 Mac Lipsticks ❤

Mac lipsticks are my weakness and I can't seem to stop myself from leaving Debenhams with a lipstick!

From left to right: peach blossom, coral bliss, creme cup, politely pink and plumful.

From top to bottom: plumful, politely pink, creme cup, coral bliss, peach blossom

In no particular order, my first favourite is Peach Blossom. It's a very sheer, glossy peachy nude and looks great in the Spring. It's very creamy and quite long wearing and I think it's one of the very few nudes I have found that doesn't wash me out and would look great on all skin tones. It is a creme sheen formula so it is very creamy and moisturising.

The next one is Coral Bliss. It's a very sheer, wearable coral colour that is definitely suitable for spring and summer. You can sheer it right out to a slight wash of colour or build it up to a brighter coral. I think this is a good lipstick for if you want to follow the trend of orange lips but aren't brave enough to sport a bright orange! It's definitely a more subtle shade of orange with a hint of pink. It is a creme sheen formula so it is very creamy and moisturising.

Probably my all time favourite lipstick is Creme Cup. It is probably one of the most famous Mac lipsticks and it's definitely my favourite. It is the most gorgeous blue toned baby pink and is the perfect pastel pink shade for spring. It doesn't wash me out and I think it would look good on everyone. Again, this is a creme sheen formula so it is very creamy and moisturising.

The next one was my very first Mac lipstick (as you can see, its seen better days) and it is Politely Pink. It is quite a frosty nude and it's slightly golden. It's a nice every day shade and looks good with pretty much anything. It also looks amazing with a nude gloss over the top. This is a lustre finish so it is quite sheer and glossy but very build able.

The last one is Plumful. It is a gorgeous berry shade that looks good all year round, not just in the colder months. It is perfect for someone that wants to wear a dark lip but doesn't want anything too bold, just something dark but a little more subtle. It looks good on all skin tones and in my opinion, it's a very under rated shade! Again, its a lustre finish so it's quite sheer and glossy but very build able.

Sephora Wishlist ❤

As soon as Sephora announced that they were now shipping to the UK, I lost my marbles and went straight to their website and filled a cart full of goodies! I haven't made an order yet, as it's quite pricey but when I do, here are the few of the things that I'm going to get!
