Favourite beauty bloggers

Hello readers my blog, today I'm writing a post on my fave beauty bloggers. I thought this may be a helpful post to some people out there who are starting to read blogs. When I started reading blogs I didn't know how to find good new blogs to start reading so I hope this helps. You could just be reading this to find out some of my favourite bloggers, for whatever reason you're reading I hope you enjoy!!

My first fave blogger is miss budget beauty. I starting reading her blog after having loved her youtube channel for a long time. I find her blog posts very helpful as she posts things such as best and worsts, reviews, favourites and much more. I really enjoy reading her because her blog posts are usually so nice and she has a really friendly personality. I found that her posts are really easy to read and she has helped me learn so much about beauty. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who has just started out with beauty or just anyone who wants to find something to read. She posts very regular basis so you'll always have something to read.

My next favourite blogger is zoella. When I first made my blog she was the most helpful blogger I was reading. The posts of hers that I found most helpful were her blog posts on blogging. She shows you how to photograph for your blog and how to blog. I've picked so many useful tips and tricks from reading her posts and I feel like she has made my blog so much better. I'm very grateful for her blog and I highly recommend for you to read it. She also has some lovely pictures to share on her blog and I enjoy reading both her beauty and non beauty related posts

Next I have the cherry beauty blog. I know the lovely cherry beauty as a personal friend and I can assure you that is not the reason for her featuring in this post. I just really enjoy reading her posts because I find her posts to be really interesting and I love seeing what she has bought and what she is wearing. The cherry beauty blog is so easy to read and I think you can pick up a few things from her. The posts I most like from her are her reviews/collections. She shows you her collections and gives reviews of each product in the collection, posts such as her maybelline mascara collection and soap and glory collection.

Last but by no means least is sprinkleofglitter. I really do like her blog because I find that it's not as beauty and reviews it's more lifestyle. I really do like lifestyle blogs but I think the good ones are hard to find. I love her youtube channel so I figured I like her blog and I do. I like hearing about Darcy and Zoe (you would know if you read her blog) , her little inspirational posts and just her in general. Overall a lovely person to read.

Other bloggers I would like to mention:
Tanya burr
Fleurdeforce
the Sunday girl

USA wishlist

Hi, today I've decided to post my USA wishlist. America offers a great range of products which unfortunately aren't easily available to me and many others. I decided to tell you guys some of the things I would love to buy from America and hopefully will buy on my next trip there.

    The first product I really want are the maybelline baby lips. These are going to be released to the UK soon so don't worry you lip balm enthusiasts out there. I love lip balms, I suppose it's an obsession, when I first heard about these balms I was so excited for then to come over to the UK. I've heard so many good things about these lip balms as they are clinically proven to soften lips in a week. They come in many colours and flavours plus they're tinted. I really want to try these as they are a tinted lip balm which is as moisturising as a regular lip balm.

    Next I have something which I've had before and loved it. It was one of the slatkin and co candles from bath and body works. Why oh why won't they bring this brand over to the UK. I tried there roasted marshmallows or something like that in autumn, it was amazing. They're highly fraganced but don't make you feel sick and they look really pretty. I would really like to try the leaves candle and the market peach one as they are highly raved about.

    This is something else from bath and body works which I've never tried. It's their anti bacs. We don't have anything like this in the UK just regular boring dettol and other dull brands. They keep your hands clean and smell good not mentioning how cute they look. It's really important to keep your hands clean when out and about and these are the great smelling answer.

    This product is something I am desperate to try. They are the Tarte amazonian clay blushes which you can purchase from sephora. These became really popular in the youtube and blogging world for a while so I wanted to see what the fuss was all about. When I found out you couldn't get them in the UK I was gutted. They are said to last for ages on the cheeks and apply super easily. They have a great colour range, there is a shade for everyone and the packaging is so pretty (see picture above).

    Last of all is the covergirl lashblast mascara. I know that there is a max factor equivalent of this as they are the same brand but it's something like £11 and in the U.S.A it's only like $8. I think it's the brush that attracted me to want this as I love lots of plastic bristles on mascara wands as I find them thickening. I've heard many good reviews on this so I hope it will live up to it's expectations. I will review this once I purchase it.

I hope you enjoyed this post telling you some of the things I would like from America. Let me know if you would like a part 2 or reviews on these things when I have them. Bye for now

I heart summer TAG

Hello readers of my blog. Another tag so I hope you don't mind. Today I thought I would do the I <3 summer tag. I saw miss glamorazzi and her pal's tag video and I loved the questions so I thought I would do it for you.

1. what is your favourite bronzer for summer?
I don't really tend to use much bronzer as my skin is already a bronze, tanned colour. I would probably say my favourite blush/bronzer which is from topshop and it's in break of day. My sister didn't like this so she gave it to me and I love it. It has half pink and half bronzer. The blush is a bright, shimmery pink which gives a nice pop of colour to the cheeks. I don't know how else to describe other than being a really pretty barbieish pink. My describing skills aren't amazing so I'll link this down below and remember topshop ship internationally.

2. You're relaxing in a hammock, on a tropical island. What are you sipping on? (favourite summer drink)
Well I have 4. I suppose it's cheating but I love cold drinks. Strawberry lemonade, cloudy lemonade, peach or lemon ice tea and Starbucks mango and passion fruit frappucino. As you can probably tell I love fruit. All of these drinks are pretty refreshing and I recommend you try one of these drinks.

3. what is your fave summer lip product?
I do love my lip products. However in the summer I'm all about the lip care rather than colour. My fave product would have to be the korres lip butter in pomegranate. This is a very pretty hot pink with a hint of red. I really like this as it's so moisturising unlike some of the other tinted lip balms I have tried and has a pretty colour which isn't too bold.

4. pool or beach?
definitely beach. I love the beach sooo much and I have to admit I still love making sand castles (it's one of the best parts of the beach).

5. summer = crazy hair! What's your must have styling product?
my must have styling product is the Toni and Guy salt spray. You can use this to make beachy waves and give some texture to your hair. This is great if your at the beach in the water then your going out with your friends, you can spray this in whilst your hair is wet to create a hairstyle which looked like it took ages but really took no time at all. This is a great dupe for the bumble and bumble surf spray.

6. sunbathing or fake tan?
I think probably a shimmer lotion above anything else. My complexion is already tanned so all I need is a little glow in the summer.

7. favourite summer nail polish?
My fave nail polish for the summer is the gelly hi shine polish in papaya. This is a really pretty coral and if you would like to hear more about it I have a review on them which I'll link down below.

8. Any summer traditions?
Not really, sometimes when we go on holiday we're told to leave our electrical devices behind so we can focus on family time, not phone time.

9. Favourite summer scent?
Ummmm that's a difficult one. I would have to go with Miss Dior Cherie, I love this scent all year round. But for something super summery and very budget is the strawberry scent from the natural collection body sprays from boots, at £2 each they're pretty good and even thought they don't last that long on the body you can top up throughout the day.

10. Favourite BBQ food?
My favourite BBQ food would have to be sausages. I love sausages in a bun with french fries yummmm!!!!

11. What's your favourite summer proof product?
My favourite summer proof product is the L'Oreal telescopic waterproof mascara. This will not budge when in the pool or the sea (most liquids). It also adds lots of length despite my already long lashes and being drugstore it's a bargain.

12. Any summer vacation plans this year? No plans? Tell us about your dream summer trip!
I am going to Paris and Switzerland, so excited!!!!! Comment down below and tell me where you're going

June favourites

          (sorry some of the pictures aren't facing upwards my computer has problems!!!!!!)

Can you believe it's now July, this year is going incredibly quickly. Anyway it's time for a June favourites, so here we go.
BEAUTY FAVOURITES:
      My first favourite has to be the collection cream puff in cotton candy. My friend and I bought these from boots at the same time and we weren't expecting anything amazing, but they are amazing. I have quite dark lips so the colour cotton candy is a your lips but better for me and I can't get enough of it. I think these are a good dupe of the NYX soft matte lip creams as they have similar textures but I find the cream puff to be slightly drying even though it states to be a moisturizing cream. Overall I love this product and would buy more but the colour selection isn't amazing unfortunately.
      Next I have Peaches and clean by soap and glory. I love the brand soap and glory and when everyone started raving about there cleanser I had to try it. Can we please start by saying that this smells amazing like nectarines, peaches and a maybe a hint of mint. I have been using this just to cleanse my face and as a face mask, I haven't really been using this to take makeup off too much but it can remove waterproof mascara so it's good enough for me. I use this to cleanse my T zone and It doesn't dry my skin out it just keeps my skin matte for the day instead of wearing powder as I don't like to wear too much makeup. It is nice as a face mask as it's good at removing spots.
      Now I have the Garnier body intensive 7 days moisturising gel in grape. Everyone seemed to rave about these for a while so I tried the cocoa one and didn't really find it to be anything special. My mum bought this home and I borrowed (stole) it from her. They say these are supposed to absorb quickly I didn't really find that with the cocoa one but this one absorbed within seconds. I thought because it was a gel it would absorb quickly but I didn't expect it to absorb as fast as it did. I can put this on and then get straight into bed or get dressed, and it's moisturising I LOVE IT.
      My next product is the MUA shimmer highlighter. This was gifted to me by the lovely girl who writes the cherry beauty blog a link will be down below. I was excited for this as it's a dupe for the MAC MSFs and I had heard a few people talk about it. This product has entered my favourites because I simply love using this, just not on my face. I use this on my legs and arms to brighten them up when it's warm. It looks amazing when your wearing shorts, skirts or dresses as it makes your legs look really pretty and not like they've been stuck in pajama bottoms all winter. I still use this on the face just not as much because it doesn't blend that well and is a bit too glittery for the face in my opinion.
      My last beauty favourite has to be the original source pink grapefruit shower gel. My friends and I went  crazy when we found this in Wilkinson's for 99p and it was the limited edition summer fragrance. This is quite   a reviving shower gel perfect for mornings to wake you up. It doesn't dry my skin out and is all natural so it's a pretty good deal I think. You should give this a try as it's an absolute bargain and for something even more reviving try the mint flavour.
     My fashion favourite has to be my topshop JONI high waisted skinnys. I bought these 3 weeks ago after listening to friends and family going on about how good topshop jeans are. They cost £36 which I think is totally worth it. These jeans hold all day and you only have to pull them up once or twice a day (I counted), best of all they don't loose there hold after a few washes. The pair I have are very high waisted so their good to wear with crop tops. A great staple for your wardrobe.

Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paints

Today I'm reviewing the Barry m gelly hi shine nail paints. These blew up in the blogging community so I had to review them for you. The colours (from left to right) are prickly pear, greenberry, papaya and dragon fruit. To start with is the packaging, they are the regular Barry M bottles but with shiny metal looking lids. I love the Barry M packaging anyway but I think with the shiny lids these would look especially nice on display.

    Starting off with prickly pear this is a beautiful lavender and I liked this more than I thought I would. It may be a pastel but is still very eye catching on the nails which I like. I've had many compliments on this colour so I give this a thumbs up.

My next colour is Green berry which I didn't like as much as I thought. It still is nice but I feel like I was needing the colour to be brighter and pop a little more. But putting that aside, this is a light turquoise colour that may look nicer when you have a tan.

Next I have papaya, which is similar to the colour of the inside of a papaya. It's a light orangey coral which is quite peachy, again this looks so pretty with a tan. I was thoroughly impressed with colour and I think I'll be wearing this a lot in summer.

My last colour is dragon fruit but the colour doesn't resemble a dragon fruit at all. A dragon fruit is a dark hot pink and this is a cute barbie pink with a slight shimmer running through. You can't see the shimmer too much so if your not a glitter lover don't worry. I love this colour, it's perfect for summer and a great colour that I think everyone should have in their collection.

These polishes are quite thick and in my opinion only need 2 coats to look amazing (even the pastels). The polishes last for 2-3 days without chipping not including a top coat. I would recommend a base coat as I can imagine that greenberry and papaya would stain plus some of the darker colour in the collection as well. Now for the shine factor which is what your probably waiting for. These polishes definitely live up to their expectations, They're very gel like which is good because I was afraid they were just going to be thin and shiny. They look very professional and people often ask me if I'm wearing gel nails when I have these paints on. I would definitely purchase some more of these bad boys, I would like to try the darker colours in autumn and winter. They are available in boots and superdrug at £3.99 a pop which is a bargain if you ask me.

Please leave any requests down below it would make my day if you followed me or even left a comment. Thanks for reading
