Top 5 Products Under £10 Series: Blush and Bronzers.

Hey Guys!
So I know I didnt post yesterday and I said I would but I had a family kinda day in the sun and completely forgot to post! **SLAPS SELF ON WRIST** ! Anyway this post is about my top 5 blushers and bronzers. All pictures are from the websites I bought them out and also the prices are from them websites too.. Lastly I am in no way affiliated with any of the brands mentioned and all opinions are my own!! Today I have linked all of the products so that you guys can check them out.

 NYC Cheek Glow Nolita Pink - £2.99

                                                                           

What I like about this blush is that it really does give you a glowing complexion, this was the first blush I ever bought when I started to really collect makeup. It has a subtle highlight in it and it really makes your face look glowy. It is very sheer so can be applied lightly to add a slight flush of colour to a natural face of makeup or used to really make the cheeks pop when built up over a few layers. I find it best to apply it lightly and slowly build up if needed. I really love this blusher!


NYC Colour Wheel Pink Cheek Glow-£3.99


This blusher is alot less shimmery than than the one above but it still leaves your cheeks with a lovely soft glow if applied properly.  One thing I will say about this is that you cant be heavy handed when it comes to application or you will look like a prostitute- If thats the look you are going for then by all means go a head but if you want a lovely corale-pink flush then apply gently. You get so much product in the pan too! I have used this blush at least 4 times a week for 2 years and I havent even hit pan yet. Such great value for money!


10 Colour Blush Palette - £3.99

This palette is perfect for people who are starting to collect makeup and want to start small with their collection. It is great for people who want to try a range of different colours on the cheeks but not break the bank in doing so. Each blush in the palette works out at just over 39p which is a bargain. The quality of the blushes are amazing and have great pigmentation. I love this palette- you can see by the picture that the colours are beautiful and there is such a wide range in the palette that you could probably just own this one palette and be sorted! 




Barry M Deep Glow Bronzer -£5.69


This bronzer may be such an amazing for the summer time. Its not overly dark despite the name and rather than looking orange it is the most subtle shade of brown and can be easily built up. It is so easy to apply!It is perfect for contouring and looks great on post-holiday bronzed skin. AMAZING!

Miss Sporty Oh Tan So Fine Multi 1- £2.99

This bronzer is perfect for beginners or someone who wants to save money. Coming in at nearly £3.00 for the both shades which works out at £1.50 each! I find the lighter one is perfect for paler skin and the darker shade is perfect for tanned skin. I LOVE this bronzer.





Well thats todays top 5 guys!

Top 5 products under £10 series: Base Makeup.

Hey Guys!
It's Aimee again!
If you follow us on instagram you will know that everyday for the next seven days I will be sharing with you my favourite 5 products within a certain category of beauty that cost £10 or less. Each day will be a different category. Today's post is all about base makeup, so the first few products you apply to your face when you do your makeup. I have tried to talk about a range of different products and I would like to say that all opinions are my own and I am not affiliated with any of the brands mentioned. Also the pictures used are from the superdrug website because some of the products I have run out of and haven't yet repurchased.

Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser- £7.99


Now as many people say, the product is a dupe for Benefits POREfessional and I completely agree! I have quite large pores on my nose and when using a lighter coverage foundation they become visible and I HATE it but when I use Baby Skin they become invisible, it sort of blurs the pores out which is so weird. Also the base it creates for my foundation is amazing and it leaves my foundation looking flawless. If you're looking for something that keeps your makeup on and also makes your face look good too- basically a great all rounder- then this is the primer for you.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer- £3.19

There are two main types of concealers- brightening concealer and heavy duty concealers- this one is definitely the heavy duty type. I'm not sure if this is the right concealer for under the eyes because personally I feel it does crease under my eyes.HOWEVER, this concealer has covered every single spot I have used it on, even the giant red mountains I am currently rocking, it sticks on the spot to cover it up and it certainly doesn't look cakey which is a bonus! I can even just wear this with powder and still dare to leave the house without a mask on! I have bought about 4 of these up to now and I don't plan on finding a new one!

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation-£8.99

WARNING: I WILL TALK ABOUT THIS FOUNDATION 10000 TIMES MORE ON THIS BLOG BECAUSE I AM IN LOVE WITH IT.

What I love about this is that it has an anti fatigue effect which is designed to make the skin look more dewy and awake. It is so easy to apply it and it really gives me confidence which I never thought I would say considering it is a lighter coverage foundation but I just love how this looks on my skin. I wear this every spring/summer time because I really like to go for a more natural look in these months. Mixed with a small amount of moisturiser it sort of doubles up as a tinted moisturiser which is why I never use things such as BB creams etc, I can still get a lighter coverage if I want it and still get my dewy,bright skin. AHHHHH LOVE IT!

Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation - £8.99


If I want a fuller coverage foundation this tends to be the foundation I reach for. I have to admit I do not think it lives up to it's '25 hour' finish but to be fair I have never tried to keep it on for 25 hours but it genuinely does stay on for longer than most. It is, in my opinion, comparable to the MAC Studio fix foundation. You do need to find your correct colour as it can look a bit to much if the colour is too light, I once got a colour that was one shade lighter than my usual and I looked STUPID because of its heavy coverage. Once you find your perfect shade though, you do get a lovely finish. It is such a lovely foundation.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder- £3.99



I use this powder EVERYDAY without fail. Whether its on its own or on top of foundation. I use this powder 3 ways;
- I use the shade 005 on top of concealer for a light coverage.
- I use the shade 003 on top of my wake me up foundation mixed with moisturiser for a brighter complexion.
- I use the transparent shade over any foundation to set it.
Once I add this on top of any foundation it sets it and keeps it in place all day. It never ever looks cakey! Theres not much more to say really because I cant praise this powder enough!

So here we have my top 5 base makeup products. Tomorrow I will be posting my top 5 blushers and bronzers that are under £10. Please follow for more updates and posts from us and to be alerted when we post.
Thats all for tonight guys,

Sleepover and 2 Bloggers at a Concert!

Hey Guys!! Its Aimee here!
First of all I am so sorry this post is late but Chloe and I have been really busy revising and with school and we had the shittiest maths exam ever! ( see Chloe's post below) so I have now finally got some time to relax and write this post for you guys.

Soo... Last year, Me,Chloe and our other best friend, Jayne,booked tickets to see 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER at the newcastle metro radio arena on June 2nd 2015. So began the LONG wait for the concert.

On Monday, Chloe came to my house after school to stay the night, we had food, watched TV and chilled out. We also found out that Chloe must be the freaking dog whisperer or something because I have a very excitable 11 month old dog who usually will jump all over someone as soon as they first meet her and for some reason, Tilly(dog) just relaxed and gave her a cuddle. We then braved the cold and wind to take the dog for a walk and got home just before a mega rainstorm occurred.
We got ready for bed after having a prat around and just being silly and we stayed up taking selfies and talking about makeup until after midnight.

When we woke up on Tuesday, luckily the sun was out. So we got ready and went up to Chloe's house whilst she got a few bits from home. By the time we got back home it was 1.30pm and we only had 2 hours until we had to go to Jaynes. Despite this we both managed to do some really pretty makeup. I went for neutral eyes,eyeliner,contoured face and a really neutral mauve colour in the lips. Chloe also done neutral eyes but done some amazing eyeliner with nude lips. I must say we looked good xD.
We then got a taxi to Jaynes house and then we set off to newcastle. We set off to Newcastle at 4pm, now you would expect that from where we live to Newcastle it would take us around an hour with the traffic. NO NO NO NO. The SAT NAV got us to newcastle but then kind of gave up and sent us on a wild goose chase and we ended up back at  the same place at least four times. It was around 5:50pm by the time we managed to get parked up in the arena car park. We passed the crowds of fan girls sat at various places around the arena and we went for some food because we were all STARVING. Myself and Jayne got a subway and Chloe went to the Greggs across from subway. We then went back to the car and ate our dinner.

We finished and made our way into the arena, had a toilet break and then me and Chlo bought the biggest drinks I had ever seen in my life (hahaha) we found our seats pretty quickly and we had a decent view, we weren't exactly close- we weren't close as in if one of them sneezed we would get germs but we could see them clearly enough!
At 7;30pm the Opening act, Hey Violet, came out and they were pretty good at warming us all up but I was too excited for 5SOS to come out.At 8pm, Hey Violet finished and then we had half an hour to kill before the Boys came out . We went to have a look around the arena and bought some chips(which were £3.80 and so not worth it) and then went back to our seats.

When the introduction for the boys came on the whole arena went crazy and then when they came onto the stage, everyone in the room was screaming with excitement! The Band were amazing, nothing at all negative to say. The interaction between the boys and the audience was spot on. We danced,screamed and sang our hearts out and when 'Amnesia came on, and everyone had their phone lights on and the atmosphere was electric! It is so strange; how thousands of people, who don't know each other and who may not get along usually, push everything to one side and are joined together by four people singing on a stage!
After the concert had finished, we were very tired but we were still on cloud nine. Despite the fact we could barely hear,see or talk, we were on a high!

I can honestly say, that night was one of the most amazing nights of my life and I am so thankful for the opportunity, and I am so grateful that I got to experience it with my two best friends!
Thats all for this post guys!

May Faves

Hey guys!
So this post is going to be about the things I have been loving in the month of May. Now it is currently 12:21am here in England as I write this but I really wanted to get this post up for you because tomorrow (Sunday) I am revising all day for my exam on Monday and on Monday I will have some other things to do and then Tuesday, Me,Chloe and our other best friend, Jayne, are going to Newcastle to see 5 Seconds of Summer in concert which we are super excited about. Anyway here are my favourites of this Month.

Beauty
Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation- The shade is True Ivory. This foundation has been my go-to foundation every summer for the last couple of years. I like this foundation because it is very light on the skin and gives a really dewy finish. The foundation has tiny, tiny, tiny specs of light reflecting particles in it which automatically makes your complexion look so much more awake. It also smells amazing and has really good staying power.
Rimmel Stay Matte Concealer- I have had this concealer for about 2 years and I'm not sure if they even make this anymore but I found this in an old makeup bag and although you're meant to get rid of your makeup after a certain amount of time, I have only used this concealer once in the past. This concealer has amazing coverage and does not budge all day long. The concealer itself has an outside ring of skin toned concealer and a small circle of green concealer to counteract the redness of spots.
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder- The shade is Peach Glow.What I love about this powder is that although it does mattify your face it doesn't leave it looking dull, I use this over the top of my wake me up and you can still see the the dewiness off the foundation.
MUA One Direction Cream Blush- The shade of this blush is the shade 'what makes you beautiful'(NOPE- NOT OVER ZAYN LEAVING!!) in the pot the blush is a bright coral but when buffed into the skin it looks like you have a natural flush of colour.
Urban Decay Naked Palette- I have found myself loving nude colours on my eyes this month and have used each colour from this palette at least twice! I love how long the colours stay on your eyes for and also the pigmentation is amazing!
Magnifibres Brush on Lashes- If you want longer lashes then these are AMAZING! Basically you apply your usual mascara and whilst it is still wet you apply the fibres onto your lashes and wait for 30 seconds and then go over the fibres with your mascara. I stupidly cut my eyelashes when I was 9 because I thought they were too long. Little did I know that in a few years time I would long for long eyelashes. Now I can have them!
Soap and Glory Thick and Fast Mascara- This mascara is the only mascara I have ever repurchased. This mascara adds so much volume and length and does not crumble off halfway through the day. It doesn't clump either.
Benefit Hoola Bronzer- Thanks to my handy contour brush, I have recently been loving contouring my face. This is one of my only bronzers that blends seamlessly into the skin and looks beautiful!
Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Paint- I'm not too sure what the colour is but it is a light berry shade that isn't too overpowering but is a statement colour none the less. It goes on as a lipgloss and then dries and won't move all day.
Real Techniques Buffing brush- If you want a review on this brush see my 'Real Techniques Brush collection and reviews'

Fragrance
Marc Jacobs- Daisy Eau So Fresh- Although I have had this perfume for a while I can't get enough of this scent this month. It has a sweet but floral,fresh scent and is perfect for this time of the year!

Food
Pasta Carbonara- with fat  free cheese spread, chicken,peppers,onions and mushrooms. I like this meal because it is a nutritious balanced meal. It has carbs,dairy,veggies and protein. It is also really tasty and healthy too. I am going to do the recipe for this soon. Its so easy to make too!
Homemade Hummus and raw veg dippers- Again another healthy recipe. It is super quick and delicious. It also great when you need a snack but don't want the calories of a MarsBar.


Drink
Detox Water- Again another healthy drink that I have been loving and I have also got a recipe
so check it out!

Music
My fave songs of the month have been Nick Jonas-Jealous and James Bay- hold back the river.They are both amazing songs that when I listen to them, just make me want to rock out and sing at the top of my voice although I'm not too sure Simon Cowell will be putting me through to the 'judges houses' stage of the X Factor ;)
TV Show
My favourite soap of all time is Hollyoaks! If your not familiar with it it is basically about a made up villiage of usually sexy people living in it and people have affairs,get killed, get shot, fall in love and have children with their gay best friend etc. Its just so entertaining and addictive!

Activity
Dog walking has been such a good way to get me off my arse and on my feet, its nice just to have some time to gather my thoughts and also to tire myself out as well as the dog. We tend to go to the local beach so she can chase the ball into the water or into the woods to chase the ball into the leaves.


Well anyway, They are my faves of the month and I hope you enjoyed this Post!
Night Guys!

Healthy Eating Update and Detox water recipe.

Okay so I know I said I would do a daily food diary but lets face it- I'm too lazy.
I have really been eating so much more healthily the last few days which I am super proud of but my diet didn't actually start until Tuesday because I was poorly and didn't eat anything on Monday. The exercise has been limited because my hula hoop hasn't came yet.
Anyway, instead of doing a daily food diary I have decided to just update you every few days and also if I make anything that I think is quick and easy I will share it with you.
Today's  recipe is Detox Water.

You will need;
- A large juice jug preferably with lid.(mine holds 4 pints so this recipe was for 4 pints of water)
-  1 lemon
- 1 lime
 -  1 tea spoon of freshly grated ginger
-  1/4 of a cucumber.
- A handful of fresh mint( i dont use it in mine and it tasted good but that is the recipe)

All you need to do is slice up the lemon,lime and cucumber and add it into the water with the ginger (and mint) and leave in the fridge over night. Serve with Ice cubes.

This water is the strangest thing I have ever tasted yet its very refreshing and quite addictive! I have drank this water for 2 days and OMG  I can feel the difference in my energy levels all ready!
 Also this water goes amazingly well with a constant skincare routine( coming soon) When I have spots they usually go huge,bright red and can last about a week. Well lately I have been doing my skincare routine properly and it has made a difference to my skin however since drinking the Detox water spots that appeared on Tuesday and were massive have now shrunk and are nearly invisible and my skin seems brighter.
Honestly guys you NEED to try this detox water. You can drink as much as you like and honestly you will feel the difference!

Thats all for tonight!

Puppies ,Friends, Leavers and Teacher made me cry

Hey guys! Its Aimee.
I wasnt planning on posting today because i didn't think my sisters internet was on but it was so happy days.

So Im currently sat in a box. Full of puppies. Yep. You read that right.
No dont worry its not some kind of weird fetish. My sisters dog, Bella, had puppies two weeks ago and I've been roped into baby sitting them whilst her and her partner are at work, which I totally don't mind as I can have as many cute puppy cuddles as I like. BUT I was meant to be staying round Chloes tonight with some of our friends. The reason I agreed to look after them is Bella sometimes forgets that when the puppies cry she needs to feed them so someone has to get her into the box so the puppies can have their dinner. I would show you individual pics but my phone is dead so I shall add one in from facebook ( cue cuteness overload)

So today Me, Chloe and two of our other friends, Emma and Mary, went to town to get some presents for our favorite teachers because we leave four days after we come back from half term. Now for alot of people, leaving school can mean being separated from their friends, however I am lucky that most of my friendship group are all going to our local sixth form which is brilliant because i love all of my friends alot and I am lucky to have each of them(aww soppy)

So yesterday we had an English Literature exam which actually went REALLY well. But it was also our last Friday at school which was a mixture of emotions. I was really happy because who doesn't love the prospect of 13 weeks off, but also it was quite emotional. Mainly because our English teacher wrote a class poem which made most of us well up, she then proceeded to write a lovely paragraph in my leavers book which really actually did make me cry.

Anyway that's the end of this post as I need to place a puppy on a nipple(not mine)

Night guys.
