Mini makeup collection

Hi,

Today is a collab with @floralteen.x on instagram. She is uploading her video on her youtube channel Floral Teen

So today I have my mini makeup collection for my lipsticks. If you like this, please tell us in the comments section or on our instagram which is always linked at the bottom of the blog.

I have a small lipstick collection as I don't always wear lipstick and I like very natural colours.

1. Essence lipstick in 07. This is my most worn as it looks like my lips but better. I love the creamy texture of this.

2. MUA lipstick in 03. This is my least worn one as I find it very hard to pull of by itself. It is very natural and looks like concealer on me.

3. Bobbi brown lipstick in 03 uber pink. I love this peachy colour for spring and summer because it is very natural and easy to wear.

4. Topshop lipstick in innocent. This is the least natural. I love this for summer as it gives my makeup that pop which is great! I love the texture of this but I don't feel like it is particularly suited to dry lips.

Thanks for reading and i hope that you liked it. Go and watch Millie's video as it is much better than mine!!!

Shower routine

Hi it's C, today I am doing another collab with Rachel!! The next couple of months will be a lot of collabs so we can grow our audience.

This is my shower routine and Rachel will be doing hers!

I like to have my shower in the morning so I am awake and energized for school!


1. Shower gel -The first thing I do is wash my body. I am using the Nivea creamy shower gel at the moment but I love the Imperial Leather lemon sherbet shower gel. I like to use a body puffle to make the shower gel foamy. At the moment I am using on from Ikea which is my favourite!

2. Face Wash- I know you are not meant to wash your face in the shower but I like to otherwise I would forget. I like to use the good things honey face wash, I have reviewed this and will link it here.

3. Optional- Exfoliate- I like to exfoliate once a week either my face or body. For my face, I like to use the Good Things honey face scrub which I will link my review here and for my body I like to use the Body shop scrubs.

4. Optional- Shampoo and Conditioner- I don't wash my hair every day so it doesn't get very greasy but my favourite shampoo is the alberto balsam shampoo and my favourite conditioner is the Argan Oil conditioner.

Thanks for reading this blog post! Make sure you read Rachel's blog and follow her instagram @lifeasrachelxo

If you want I can do a skincare routine or hair care routine

Best Ways To Cope With Exam Stress

Hey everyone it's -A here today for a blog post on how to cope with exam stress because I have a lot of exams coming up and I thought you'd all find it useful to know what I do to revise and deal with the stress from exams. Also I'm really sorry that we didn't post a blog last week because we were really busy and had some exams to revise for. Well I hope that you enjoy this blog post !

So here are my top tips on how to cope with exam stress (especially if you worry a lot like me :)

  1. Revise for exams in small bursts of time (20 minutes revision then a 10 minute break doing what you want to do- usually eat or drink something) revising like this will make you feel less overwhelmed by all the revision you have to do and spaces it out.
  2.  Never revise on your bed especially at night because then you are most likely to fall asleep whilst revising. If you have a clean and spaced out area such as a desk to revise it will make it much easier
  3. After revision or before take a long bath or shower to make you feel much more relaxed and  it distracts you from your worries etc.
  4. Take a quick walk as it clears your mind and it has been scientifically proven that it boosts brain power and memory
  5. Getting enough sleep (usually around 8-9 hours) is very beneficial as it makes your attention span much longer meaning you feel more focused to revise 
  6. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone, other times you need to shout it from the rooftop or scream from the top of your lungs. Figure out what you’re feeling and then let it out. Speaking to a family member or friend can highlight the bigger picture for you and empower you to rise above the exam stress.
Well that's my main tips which I use for coping with exam stress .I hope that it has helped many of you as I hate worrying about exams. Actually I just hate worrying in general. Maybe next time if you like this blog post I'll do a post on how to stop worrying. I think that would help me too! Well I hope that this helped you worry about this topic and I'll maybe see you next time with a post on how to generally stop worrying.
Thanks for reading

My school makeup

Hi girls it is C here to talk about the makeup I wear to school. This look is so quick and easy that I can do it in 5 minutes or less . Also these products won't break the bank so you can pick these up next time you go to the shops if you wanted. x

This is a collab with the amazing Madison! Her blog is :Madison's Blog she is honestly so lovely xx

The first thing I do is use primer, I love the Maybelline Baby Skin Primer, it keeps my concealer on all day and it applies much smoother. You can pick this up for £7.99 at Superdrug and Boots

The essence stay all day concealer is my go-to! This concealer is amazing for those pale girls out there and when I say pale, I mean you haven't found a great concealer that actually matches your skin!This essence concealer is really good! It is lightweight (and light in colour!) and its easy to apply. This is £2.50 in Wilko.

The Maybelline Matte Maker Powder is my favourite powder EVER! It keeps me matte all day and keeps my concealer on my face. It doesn't look powdery and makes my face look flawless!! This cost £3.99 from Boots and Superdrug

I love the Natural Collection Mascara! This is a cheap mascara which makes you lashes look so natural whilst giving them curl and length. This is £1.99 from Boots!

The Lush honey trap lip balm keeps my lips looking amazing all day! This is £5.99 from Lush 

Thanks for reading and go and read Madison's blog!!

My Daily Skincare Routine

My Daily Skincare Routine

Hello everyone again its -A here. We have been really up to date now with uploading a blog post every Tuesday . Also soon we will be collabing with lots of different people so look forward to that!
So anyway, today I'm going to be taking you through my everyday skincare routine as it's very important. 
I don't have very good skin so I have to use more products to make my skin look a bit better :(

Okay so ....,

  1. First I have my shower and use the Champneys purifying foamy face wash which removes all my make-up and makes my skin feel nice and clean
  2. So whilst I'm still in the shower I'll use the T-zone deep pore cleansing cream wash which has salicylic in it so it helps prevent breakouts
  3. Once I'm out of the shower I make sure my face is dry and then I use my good things acai berry micellar water which cleanses and soothes your skin
  4. After that I will moisturise my face with the Orba goats milk moisturiser which is great for dry skin. Check out C's review!
  5. Then I'll put on my yes to blueberries eye cream which is really nice and smells good
  6. Then depending on my skins state I may put on a few dabs of tea tree oil on any spots I have as it helps them fade and is the best treatment I've ever used. 
So that is my everyday skincare routine for the evening. All I do in the morning to my face is put on some moisturiser to keep my skin hydrated throughout the school day. Well I hoped that you enjoyed reading this and always head over to our instagram account for more reviews and pictures. It's @prettylittlebeautysacl
Thanks and I am thinking of doing my everyday make-up for school routine in 2 weeks time but for now we'll see you next Tuesday for another blog post 

Byeeeeee
