Youtubers And Their Products - What Do You Think?

Hi everyone! 

Many Youtubers have now gone big. And by big I mean writing their own books, cosmetics range, beauty range, App games, radio and TV shows. I remember watching them back in 2010 and never thinking they will become this big! 

Anyway bloggers/vloggers Zoella and Tanya Burr have released their own cosmetics and beauty range. I've done a blog post on Tanya Burr's lipgloss and nail polish on my blog before, you can read it here. 

I was curious with Zoella's beauty range, i've heard many great things about them. I went into Superdrug and got my hands on the ''Fizz bar'' also Tanya's Lipgloss and nail polish. 

Zoella's fizz bar is amazing for the price! £5 for a decant smell and a lovely bath! What else could go more wrong? I'm a big fan on Tanya's lip glosses I think they are one of the best drugstore lipgloss out there! The nail polish are average, after 4 months it will dry up. 

What do you think about this whole youtubers bringing out their own range of things? Do you think it's a rip off for them to make more money? I've heard a lot of people saying that. I disagree I think it's an amazing opportunity for them! It's amazing how someone could write a blog/turn on a camera and talk and get enough amount of views to have their own line of cosmetics, books. beauty etc range! 

Until next time!

A Must Have Pallet for Blondes!

Hello everyone! 

Urban Decay Naked 3 pallet. What more can I say? I'm sure you've heard about the beautiful Urban Decay Naked Palette, if not then they are these awesome palettes (Naked, Naked 2 and Naked 3) that you should defiantly own! They usually come with matte, satin and shimmery eyeshadows. 

I have the Naked 2 palette and it's my go to eyeshadow palette! Everyday I usually go for the eyeshadows that's in it. It's just great! So when Urban Decay got their Naked 3 for us. I knew I would buy it for sure! I am a bit late with buying it a year after it got released out. But I just had to right about it on my blog! 

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette is a rose gold based eyeshadows with 12 new eyeshadows. 

If you have blonde hair then this palette is for you! It complements your hair/skin so good! Something about the colours in this palette goes so well with blondes. 10/10! The only downside of this palette is the price, It's £37 in selective stores, Very expensive but totally worth it! If you want more in depth review of this palette, just google it! There are about 50000 reviews about it haha!

Diorskin Forever Flawless Perfection Fusion Wear Foundation - Review

Hi everyone! 

I've been watching the beauty blogging/vlogging world for about 4 years and it always makes me acknowledge beauty products that is supposedly to be ''holy grail'' ''best product ever!'' ''a must buy!'' and usually i'll look into them products so I wont be disappointed. 

One of the most raved foundation in the beauty world was Diorskin Forever Foundation. I've never tried any Dior makeup before so I was looking forward to see what this foundation was in store for me. 

 It claims to be a semi-matte thats long lasting on the skin. Also gives you a airbrush complexion.  

Now let me start on how this foundation wasn't for me at all! 

1, It's a ''semi-matte' No. Not for me it wasn't, It was complete matte and made my skin/foundation look flaky and flat. 

2, The lightest shade was WAY to dark for me! For an expensive, high end foundation I just wish they would think of the pale girls for once. 

3, The coverage was light to medium. I read everywhere that it was a buildable coverage, it isn't. After about 3 layers of the foundation you could still see my imperfections. 

On the positive side the foundation bottle is beautiful! I adore the packaging! Just lovely! 

It retails for about £32 in selective stores. 

Would I recommend it? If you have dry skin - no. If you have imperfections (scarring) then no. 

But I do think it would look good on oily skin that hasn't got a lot of imperfections and you just want a light coverage. 

What do you think about Diorskin range? Do you love this foundation? Let me know in the comments below!

Battle of The Illuminating Radiance Finish

Hi everyone! 

I don't know about you, but over the past few months I've seen illuminating, radiance and dewy words everywhere! 

Brands have been exploding with different illuminating creams and dewy foundations a lot this year. Even at fashion shows you see models with incredibly healthy, radiance looking skin walking down the catwalk. 

So I bought a few shares of illuminating radiance creams. These are my top 3. 

L-R - Simple Illuminating radiance cream, L'oreal Paris Lumi Magique base, MAC Strobe Cream Hydratant Lumineux. 

I find these the best simply because they do what they say. They give you such a nice radiance look to your skin and gives the most amazing finish after you put your makeup on. If your not a fan of dewy/satin finish then these aren't for you. I don't know what these are like on oily skin since I have dry skin but...Dry skin people...You will LOVE these! Go check them out ASAP! 

You honestly look awake and healthy with these creams. Best things ever since slice bread I'd say!  

The best one? I don't know. They work so good in different ways (but it a good way) that I can't say which ones my favorite! 

Have you tried any these? Do you like them? Or your more of a matte kind of human? Let me know in the comments below!

The True Reds

Hello everyone! 

It's nearly winter and that means getting out my red lipsticks! 

L'oreal Paris came out with a new ''Color Riche Lip'' collection called ''Exclusive Pure Reds'' ft Blake Lively, Julianne Moore, Liya Kebede and Eva Longoria. 

L-R - Liya's color, Blake's color. 

Liya's color has a slight orange undertone and is also a warm red. 

Blake's color has a blue undertone and is a cold red. 

I couldn't decided which will look better on me since I have neutral undertones in my complexion so I bought the two that will look the best with pale skin. 

Turns out because I have neutral undertones in me I can pull off the orange and blue undertones in the lipsticks! Score!  

Liya's color. 

Blake's color. 

I really like these lipsticks, they are semi matte and doesn't dry the lips. Also very pigmented. 10/10! 

You can get them here and they range about £6.99

The Pink Lipsticks

Hello everyone! 

I love pink lipsticks. In fact I adore them so much that I decided to post about my favorite ones. 

I just find that the pinks suite my complexion well. I'm a pale skin girl and believe that the pink colours makes you look awake, radiant and lively! 

L-R 

1. MAC Viva Glam Lady Gaga 2. Chanel Coco Rouge Shine in Chance 3. Rimmel London Kate Moss in 05 3. Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm in Vivacious 4. Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Elusme.  

My favorite are Mac lady gaga and Chanel in chance. They are my most worn lipsticks of all time. But the sad thing is that ''Chance'' has been discontinued :( 

What lipstick colours do you like the most?

Bath and Body Work Candles

Hi everyone! 

When the nights get darker and the weather turns colder I bring out my scented candles and boy oh boy did I have fun whilst shopping at Bath and Body Works in Canada! 

It was a great timing going in there because they just released their Autumn collection so I was very happy to see this! 

L-R - Leaves, Mahogany takewood, Sweater Weather 

Small mason jar candle in Bourbon Butterscotch 

The main ones - Mason Jar Candles 

Leaves

Caramel Pumpkin Swirl 

Banana Nutmeg Bread Pudding

The main ones I picked up was the ones that I liked the most. Honest to god ALL OF THEM SMELLS SO GOOD! 

Leaves being one of the most popular candles I had to smell it and believe me on this it literally smells like Autumn Leaves! You know that Autumn smell when your out and about with the weather being dry and the sun shining yet its cold? Yes it's that smell! 

Of course I had to pick up a pumpkin smelling candle. Most of the pumpkin candles there had some sort of ''spice'' in them and i'm not to keen on the spice scent. So the Caramel Pumpkin Swirl is just perfect! 

Then this was a random candle. My mother was with me shopping and she picked up the Banana Nutmeg Bread Pudding and she loved the scent! Me too! It smells like a coffee shop with fresh pudding in the making. Lovely! 

So that's my Bath and Body Works haul. What your favourite scented candle? Let me know in the comments!

Maybelline Color Drama Lipstick - A Nars Dupe

Hello everyone! 

This is juts a quick blog post review about a product that I think it's amazing for the price. 

I'm sure by now you've heard/seen Maybelline's Color Drama Lipsticks. 

They are very pigmented lipstick/lip pencil that it an amazing dupe for Nars Lip pencils/lipstick. 

 One of the pros is that they are very long lasting and doesn't smudge! Brilliant!  

I've also find that they aren't drying on the lips and thank god for that since the cold weather is hitting us and our lips are getting dryer. 

They currently sell for £4.99 in Boots stores. 

Have you tried these before? Or have tried the Nars ones? Let me know in the comments below!

What I got in Canada - Makeup

Hi everyone! 

I just got back from my holiday, I went to Canada to see the rocky mountains also Vancouver where I got to shop a little bit. 

As most of you know we don't have a Sephora in the UK (but it does ship it for us) so I was excited to see what stuff they have in there. Now, my mother is probably Sephora's number 1 fan! She doesn't stop talking about how amazing the store is and how she wishes there's a sephora in the UK. And I couldn't agree more with her. 

Anyway this is what I bought in Canada. 

Tarte amazonian clay foundation, Anastasia brow wiz, Smashbox photo finish primer, Nyx blush and jumbo eye pencil 

First up it's Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation. I got this foundation after regretting not buying it last summer when I was in America. It gives full coverage and last all day. For me it's a satin finish not to dewy and not to matte. If you like Laura Mercier's silk cream foundation then you will love this since it's exactly the same but better is my opinion. 

2, Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in medium brown (medium ash) I was trying to get the Ash blonde colour but it was sold out :( But I just could not leave without getting one. I think now it's my holy grail for eyebrows!! I've always used powders/eyeshadows but now this has totally converted me to pencils! It's amazing! I can't get enough of it! If you do get the chance to get one of these then  do it soon!

3, Smashbox photo finish primer. I know you can get these in the UK but I ran out of primer while in Canada. I've tried 2 other smashbox primers and haven't been impressed with them. But since this is one of their best selling products I gave it a go. 1, The smell of it is disgusting. I can't stand it. Smells so artificial. 2, After seeing photos of me with this primer on my skin looks flawless! It's amazing in pictures! 3, It actually makes makeup last for a very long time. I wore it for 25 hours and my foundation was still on amazing!

4, Nyx powder blush in pinched. I went to a drug store called London Drugs in Canada and found a batch of Nyx products there! It was my first time seeing nyx products so I was exciting to try thing out. But their stand was disgusting. Half of the products was missing and open etc. What a shame. But I did pick up this blush I haven't tried it yet but hopefully with the great reviews of their blushed I won't be disappointed. 

5, Last but not least the Nyx jumbo eye pencil. Since hearing great, amazing reviews of this product I needed to get it. Thankfully there was the shade I wanted left (milk) which I quickly got. I also haven't tried this yet but probably won't be disappointed with it since the raves it has gotten in the beauty world. 

That's it! Hoped you liked my little haul from Canada. What's your fave nyx product? Let me know in the comments below!
