Getting The Most Out Of Your Products

 Hello Everyone,

Today I am here with a tip for you. I am going to give you instructions on how to get the most out of your products.

We all know how annoying it is when you are coming to the end of a product and it gets to the point when you can't get any more out of it but you know that there is still product in the packet that you can't get at. Well, today I have a tip that I would like to share with you to help you with this problem.

Step 1 - Get your product that is nearly empty and cut it in half as shown in the picture below. I did this with the Vaseline Hand Cream which by the way, I would definitely recommend. It smells so nice, moisturises well and really strengthens your nails. When you have cut it in half it means that you can reach the left over product inside.



Step 2 - To avoid the product drying up put the bottom bit inside of the top bit as shown in the picture below.


This is a really quick and easy way to get the most out of your products and also saves you money. I hope you have found this tip helpful. :)

Summer Nails!

Hello Everyone,

Today I wanted to do a blog post about summer nail colours. As you may know I like to take good care of my nails and almost always have them painted. These are the colours I have been wearing recently and I'm sure these will be the colours I find myself coming back to throughout the summer.

The reason I think that these are so good for summer is because they're all bright, pretty colours that will go with summery outfits because I personally tend to wear more colour during the summer.

Here is a list of nail colours that I think are perfect for summer.
  • Pink - both light and dark pinks look lovely 
  • Light blue
  • Red
  • Yellow
  • White 
  • Green 
The colours pictured are all nail varnishes that I own and wear a lot. I will put a list of their names below in case any of you are interested in what they are called so you can purchase them.

Top Row - Left-Right
  • Barry M Gelly  - Rose Hip
  • Barry M Gelly - Blueberry
  • Barry M Gelly - Dragon
  • Barry M Gelly - Greenberry
  • Barry M Quick Dry - In a Heart Beat
Bottom Row - Left-Right
  • Accessorize Nail Varnish
  • Barry M Gelly - Huckle berry
  • Barry M Gelly - Pomegrante
  • Barry M Gelly - Sugar Apple
  • Rimmel London Lasting Perfection - Yellow
I hope you like this blog post. They are the nail varnishes that I tend to wear most often throughout the summer months. I hope this helps if any of you are struggling for different nail colours to wear during the summer months. :)

Improving Pretty Perfect!

Hello Everyone, 

I just wanted to write a short blog post just to inform you about a few little changes that I have made to my blog recently. 

I am always looking for ways to improve my blog and what I write about to make it as interesting as possible for people to read. Everyday I am trying to think of new ideas for blog posts or blog improvements. One reason I do this is to obviously make it as interesting and enjoyable as possible to read for you. However, I also do this because I love blogging and I want my blog to be the best it can be.

The changes I have made are not big ones but I still wanted to tell you about them. I have made two changes that I want to talk about in this post.

The first change is I have added an about section to my blog. The main reason I wanted to do this is to inform new readers what my blog is about and also a little bit about me. Even if you are not a new reader you may still find it interesting to read because you might learn a bit more about me and my blog and why I started blogging.

The second change is I have added a page called a 'Product Directory.' This is basically a page full of links of product that I have talked about on my blog. If you wanted to go to somewhere where you could purchase that item online all you would have to do is click on the item you would like. It is organised into alphabetical order so I think that it will be quite easy to find what you are looking for. I wanted to do this because I think it's an easy way for you to find things I talk about on my blog so I hope you find it helpful.

Both of these are small changes but I just wanted to inform you about them so you knew why they were there and what they were for. Thanks for reading. :)

My Favourite Make Up!

Hello Everyone,

Someone asked me if I would do a blog post on my favourite make up recently. This post is something that I was considering doing anyway and I thought been as it had been requested some of you may want to read it as well. So here it is.

I have to be honest I don't wear a huge amount of make up but I do wear the basics. Therefore, I can only talk about the products I use so I have picked my favourites out of the products I do wear to tell you about and recommend to you today.

Eyes!



Here are my favourite eye products. I have two carnival dusts which I love to use as an eyeshadow. I have one in a pinky colour and one in a gold colour. I think these are really nice if you want to do a bit more with your make up if you are going out or something like that. They are so quick and easy to apply and look really nice on.



I also have two mascaras which I use a lot. The first one is the Maybelline Rocket Volume Mascara which I have used for about a year now and love it. It gives just the right amount of volume and length to my lashes and I really like the packaging as well. The second mascara is the Avon Extend Extreme mascara. I think this is a really nice mascara that goes on really nice and I have found myself preferring to use this one recently.


Eye Brows!



This product is actually a Rimmel eyeliner however I find that it is the perfect colour for filling in my eyebrows. I don't do this everyday but I will do it if there is a special occasion or if I want to make more of an effort. I really like the effect it gives and it fills in my eye brows well.




Face!



The concealer I use is the Rimmel Hide the Blemish Concealer. I like this concealer because it provides a good coverage on any blemishes I have and last well throughout the day. Another reason I like it is because its not too heavy and doesn't feel horrible on like some concealers do.


Lips!





These are some of my favourite lip products at the moment. These are the lip products that I wear most often and I would definitely recommend them all to you. 
  • The first is Baby Lips in Cherry. It's so moisturising and it's a lovely red colour on the lips. I highly recommend Baby Lips and will be doing a whole blog post on them soon.
  • I also love the Tanya Burr Picnic in the Park lip gloss. I love this lip product because it can be worn casually or dressed up. It doesn't feel sticky on the lips and lasts really well. If you would like to know more about this product click here where you can read the review I did on this product.
  • Another lip product that I use a lot is the 17 Bella lipstick. It is a really nice nude lipstick that looks really nice on and lasts really well.
  • Another of my favourite lipsticks is the Deluxe 02 Talullah which is a lovely pink colour. This again lasts really well and I really like how it looks on.
  • My final favourite lipstick is not pictured because I bought it after the pictures were taken for this blog post. It is the Rimmel Kate Moss 08 which I featured in my June Favourites 2015!. I have worn this so much since I bought it a couple of weeks ago. Have a look at my favourites if you want to see what it looks like.


I also love the Jack Wills Lip Crayons. You might think that because Jack Wills isn't a make up brand it might not be as good quality but this is not the case. I love the colours in this set. I feel like there is a colour for every occasion and every season. They're extremely long lasting and I love the colours.


That is the type of make up I would wear on a daily basis. These are some of my favourite products that I wear most often and I would recommend them all to you. I hope you have enjoyed reading this post. If you would like me to do a make up routine blog post so you can read what order I apply everything let me know. Thanks for reading. :)

June Favourites 2015!

Hello Everyone,

Today I thought I would do another monthly favourites. I did one of these a couple of months ago but I decided that I wouldn't do one every month because I don't feel that I 'love' enough things every month to do a good blog post. So I probably will do more of these but only when I feel like I have enough to write about and for it to be an interesting post.

I do feel like through the months of May and June I have found a few things that I have loved and that I wanted to recommend to you. So here are the things I have been loving in the past few months.


My first favourite is the Body Shop Seaweed Deep Cleansing Facial Wash. This has been something that I have used over the past couple of years and I do highly recommend it. I did write about a blog post about it called My Skin Care Routine so if you would like to read about it in detail click here. I go through stages of using this because sometimes I'm too lazy to make the effort to use it but over the past few months I have used it every month and I absolutely love it. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a good quality facial wash that does wonders for your skin.


Another thing that I have been loving is the Ginger & Co. 'Hand It To Me' Dreamy Hand Cream. I use a lot of hand cream because I think it is good to look after your hands and to keep them really soft. Also, because I like to do a lot with my nails it's nice to look after my hands as well. Someone bought me this as a Christmas present but I hadn't used it until last month because I already had one on the go but I honestly LOVE this one. The smell is so so nice and it makes my hands feel so soft. If you want to get this product click here to go to a website where you can purchase it.


My next favourite is the Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick which is the number 08. I have been wanting this lipstick for a while and the other day I was looking at it and mum offered to buy it for me which was lovely. I absolutely love the colour and it lasts well. I also love the packaging of these lipsticks. I think having pretty packaging is such as nice little extra. Click here if you would like to purchase this particularly lipstick. I have worn it none stop since buying it.

Another thing I have been loving this month is the Maryland Chocolate Chip Cookies. I haven't had these in ages and the other day mum bought me some. They're so tasty and I love to have them with a cup of tea. They're definitely a favourite of mine for this month.


I was also treated by my sister the other day when she went shopping. I have been looking for a nice anklet for ages and have been struggling to find them. She spotted these one's in Accessorize and bought them for me. I absolutely love them and have worn one everyday since. I think they're so pretty. Click here to view them on the website.


I have also been wearing my white converse a lot this month. I only like to wear them when there is nice weather because I don't want then to get ruined. We've had nice, dry weather recently which has given me a chance to wear them and I think they can make any outfit look so nice. If you're interested in getting some click here to go to a website where you can get some. I think they're a really reasonable price at £45.

A TV programme I have been loving recently is Modern Family. It's so funny and easy to watch and it's repeated a lot on Sky 1. I definitely recommend watching it. It's a feel-good programme which never fails to make me laugh.

I have also loved watching Candy Tasting videos on YouTube recently. I just love seeing their reaction. I definitely recommend watching them if you have some spare time on your hands.


My final favourite is the book Joey Graceffa In Real Life. I read it last month and absolutely loved it. I could not put it down. If your looking for a good read I definitely recommend it. I am going to do a full book review on it soon. Click here to go to a website where you can purchase it.

So they are all of my recent favourites. I hope you have enjoyed reading this post. I highly recommend all of these things. Thanks for reading. :)
