~ Share The Blogging love #1 ~

One thing I love about the blogging community is the fact that the majority of the time people are so supportive of one another, so these posts are going to be mentioning my favourite bloggers and giving them the credit they deserve!

1.  Sammi // BeautyCrush

I have been following Sammi's blog and youtube channel now for about 4 years and she keeps getting better as time goes on!  From her personality to her on point style she couldn't get more perfect!  I'm so happy she has such a big recognition in England and obviously all round the world!




2.  Shope // London's Closet

Shope's blog is so perfect I cannot get enough of it!  She runs the blog with her twin named Shore and she's just as stylish.  To me Shope stands out for her creative her that she changes all the time, my personal favourite had to be when she had blue ends, omggg!  I also love the fact that she works with bloggers to make unique pieces of clothing!




3.  leigh - ann // pugs and flowers

~ Primer Time ~


I believe a good primer is one of the most important things to have in your makeup collection.  Not only is it responsible for keeping your makeup on longer but it also helps the application process, so for this I am a fan!  Finding the right primer for your skin type is crucial.  People may prefer silicone based primers to gel or cream ones, it all depends on the person!  Sometimes, as well a budget primer can just be as good as a high end one.

1.  Smashbox ~ PHOTO FINISH Foundation Primer / COLOR CORRECTING ADJUST - (£25.00)
The good thing about Smashbox primers are that they come in all different colours, the purpose of this is for all the different skin types out there.  For example I picked up the green tube because it is meant to cancel out redness and even out skin tone, as well as keeping your makeup looking fresh all day long and I must say it does just that!  Admittedly it is on the pricey side but it has last me from Christmas.  I tend to use this primer if I have a specially occasion so I don't waste it but I wish I could afford to use it everyday.  The consistency I would say is a thick creamy gel formula, leaving your skin feeling soft and refreshed.  A quick tip, a little goes a long way!

2.  Beauty UK ~ Prime fx foundation primer - (£3.99)
A while back I was sent this by the girls at Beauty UK and I was so excited to try out a new, affordable primer!  This primer is completely silicone based which I can imagine isn't good for quite a few skin types so be careful!  For the price it does do a good job of keeping your makeup on for quite a bit but I do have oily skin and sometimes it doesn't stop my foundation from moving.

3.  MUA ~ PRO BASE EYE PRIMER - (£2.50)
I absolutely adore this stuff!  I cannot rant and rave about it enough!  Seriously if you're looking for an eye primer don't bother going to get the Urban Decay's primer potion just get this.  I wear it everyday and it keeps my eye makeup looking fresh all day.  It looks like concealer but you will realise when you put it on the lid it's not that good coverage to be used as one but as a eye primer goes its seriously amazing!

What are your favourite primers?

~ Insta Snaps #14 ~

Can't believe I've left it so long since doing another one of these posts, my bad guys!  Anyway the following photos are just pictures of what I've been up to, enjoy!


Over the past year + a half I've been having my room redecorated but also transformed.  I might do a full blog post on my new room but for now I thought I would share my new dressing table which I am totally in love with!  I know a lot of bloggers own this dressing table from Ikea but I still love it all the same!


Another thing that I picked up from Ikea was this beautiful bedding which also a lot of bloggers own but for 20 quid you can't go wrong!


My beautiful Liverpool x


A few Friday's ago me and Dan attended the JAWS gig in Liverpool and it turned out to be a really good night!  It was held at The East Village Arts Club and the band played insanley well!  So here have a selfieeee!

~ September Favourites 2014 ~


September Favourites 


f

Victoria's Secret / Aqua Kiss body mist 

I cannot think of one person who doesn't enjoy having a Victoria's Secret body spray whatever the flavour shall be!  I picked up 6 body sprays when I was last in London and I do not regret one of them!  For me, the Aqua Kiss smell has to be my favourite though.  It's just so fresh and floral, I really can't think of a perfume like it! 


Mac / Heroine

This is a product that you either love or absolutely despise!  Luckily for me I am in love with it!  I've featured it before but I'm still obsessed with just how purple it is.  On tanned skin it looks absolutely amazing!


Superdrug / eyelash curlers

This past month I've been using eyelashes curlers in my daily routine and it is fair to say that I've noticed a really big difference.  When I use them my eyelashes are so much more longer and curlier than if I don't!  And in my opinion there's no need to splash the cash.


Essence / 08 Red Blush lipliner

I went into Wilko's a month ago and picked up a few Essene things and I am not disappointed with one of them!  I piked up this deep red lipliner along side a nude but the reds a winner for me!  The only problem with their lipliners is that when sharpening them it leaves them rough around the edges so if you have any techniques to sharpern lipliners then leave them down below!  I love using this colour underneath ruby woo by mac, it turns the color into a more picky red with a blue undertone!

What have been your September favourites?
