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

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!!

Best Drugstore Makeup Finds of all time!!!-FACE

Hi,

This week's post will be about my favourite makeup products in my makeup bag!

DISCLAIMER: I have only been wearing makeup for just under 2 years therefore I have tried everything out there and this is only products from the drugstore (or highstreet!)

Primer
I never really thought that primers worked until my mum bought me the Maybelline baby skin primer last Christmas. This retails for £7.99 from Boots and Superdrug which you can buy here.

This is really smooth and easily goes onto your skin. It helps your foundation and concealer blend into your skin and helps it stay there all day long which is what everyone wants!!

BB cream
This product I blame on A because she took me into the Body Shop and made me purchase the Body shop All-in-one BB cream. It is colour adapting to your skin and gives a glowing completion. This is a great all-round product as if you have oily skin, it gives enough coverage to keep your skin from becoming too shining but if you have dry skin, it gives a glow so you don't look like your dead. I have literally got all my family into this product. This is a great product for £12.99

Concealer
This was a really hard one to pick as I have not hard much luck with concealers. However, recently I picked up a concealer that works well on me!!!

The Rimmel Wake me up concealer this gives a great radiant glow and has an anti-fatigue effect, which if you know me, you know how tired I get.This is loved by many and comes in the perfect shade for my pale skin. You can pick this up at Boots and Superdrug

Powder
Everyone loves the Rimmel Stay Matte which is probably one of the worst powders I have tried. (If you want a worst makeup products blog post I can do that for you) My favourite powder has to be the Maybelline Matte Maker powder. This is flawless every time and keep me from getting shiny for the majority of the day.

Blush
My favourite blush is the Topshop Blush in Do It Again. This blush is so stunning!!! I don't really know how to use blush..(awkward) but that doesn't keep me from trying as the colours are so pretty! This has such a gorgeous gold shimmer running through it which makes you look so awake. This cost £8 from Topshop (I can't find it on the website but the link shows another powder blush)

Thanks for reading this blog. I will try to do a version of this for eyes and lips but I don't know if you like this style! -C xxx

REVIEW: COOLEST LIP-GLOSSES EVER!!!



Hi girls,
Today, I am reviewing the NEW CID i-Gloss Light up gloss with mirror!!!!!. 

The founder of NEW CID is Kelly Colman. Her makeup line is to help empower woman. She wanted to make it simplistic, wearable and easy to apply.

The lipgloss colours I used were called

Cherry Pop and Blondie

I'm really sorry that I can't add pictures because my computer isn't working but you can click the links to see what colours these lipglosses are.

I really like these lip glosses because they aren't very sticky, they have lots of pigmentation and come with a built in mirror and light!!!!

I think that the built in mirror and light make these lipglosses so unique. The light is under the lid so when you are applying this lipgloss you can see what you are doing. Also the mirror makes these so much easier to apply and you don't have to search around at the bottom of your bag for a separate one!!!

These cost £17 each which you can buy from here

Also if you don't like lipgloss they make lipsticks with built in mirror and light!!!

-C

Also I'm sorry I can't get pictures to work at the moment. I should be able to get it to work by the next time I write a blog!!!

BBrowBar Brow Pen for shaped, defined brows

Hi here I am again (-L btw) and I'm gonna review the BBrowBar Brow Pen...

This is 'Indian Chocolate' - they come in different shades

I really loved this brow pen- usually I just use Body Shop eyeliner pencil to fill in my brows, which works just as well as any brow pencil. However, over the weekend I found out about the BBrowBar Brow Pen. Firstly I was confused that it was a pen, like to me the idea of a marker pen or sharpie colouring in my eyebrows came into my mind...
Best eyebrows ever!

However, it was not like that at all. It gave a really natural look and make you eyebrows more neat and shaped. It did not make my brows look stupid and like they were drawn on. Also the pen was super easy to use and I would definitely recommend it.

For people with Brown hair, like mine, 'Indian Chocolate' would be perfect for you. If you have lighter hair I recommend 'Cinnamon Spice', and for those with darker hair use 'Cardamom Pod'. 

The results
Buy them Here from My Showcase  (priced at £18.00). 


Thank you for reading

The S5 purity serum review !

Hi!
It's -A here today
I will be reviewing the S5 Purity Serum
The specific serum i will be reviewing is for oily blemish prone skin I got given a small sample of this to try out as i really wanted something to help my spots as it's not the greatest look!

I tried it when i was on holiday because I wanted nice skin whilst I was away . At first i thought it was not going to be that good but after a few days i really noticed a difference in my skins appearance It wasn't oily anymore and all of my spots had either cleared or were less noticeable I was really impressed with the results I got after using it! :)The serum is a thicker liquid which you add a drop or 2 to your daily moisturiser. You don't apply it by itself since using it with a moisturiser really helps your skin too .

If you don't have similar skin to mine there are many other serums you can try out ... Such as for redness and sensitive skin, hyperpigmentation, dry or scarred skin, sensitive skin, fine lines and wrinkles



The S5 Serum is good for all skin types and its even good to have if your skin is luckily perfect sicne it can also prevent any blemishes apperaring one day. This serum is literally AMAZING and I would recommend it to anyone who has trouble with their skin especially in the teenage years. Overall the s5 serum was something i would 100% use all the time Sadly, the only thing that put me off a little was the price ( £44 and $67) It means it is something that you would (well i know i would) have to spend a lot of time saving up for it.
As a young girl I would have much preffered it to be cheaper since then I could afford to buy some but then i do understand why it costs that price.
It is all completely natural and the people that created it are normal working people just trying to get their products well known which is completelty understandable.

It is crossing my mind to buy it as i really noticed a differnce in my skin and even my family commented on how my skin was much clearer and fresh. >If you are interested in purchasing anything from the S5 ramge then you can buy it from here

Skincare shakeup: ORBA

Hi!

A couple of weeks ago we met with our beauty representative, which whilst chatting with us about skincare and makeup, she adviced me to use the ORBA Originals Goat's Milk Skin Soother.

The founder of this product is Marva Williams. She says that this product is ' a non-greasy cream to ease the associated dryness and sensitivity' 

I have really dry lips but this was perfect for me.

It made my lips super soft and for much longer.

Although the consistency was much thinner and runnier like face lotion, it was much more hydrating than my usual lip balm. 

I just want to mention that i hate the smell or taste of goat's milk but this did not smell or taste like goat's milk.  


Usually, only a couple of hours after applying lip balm, my lips are really dry but with this product my lips stayed moisturised for many hours after.

This product is not just for lips. It can be used on the whole body. If you have any dry skin on your body or face then you can pick up 100ml for £10.99 from ORBA Originals Goat's Milk Skin Soother

Smoothing concealer kit review

Heya! I just wanted to start off by telling you where you can purchase all the makeup products we will be reviewing...

 Our beauty representitive's name is JAN JACKSON The website you can use to purchase this makeup is at www.myshowcase.com/stylist/jan_jackson


 I will be reviewing the Smoothing Concealer Kit.

I really loved this product as its very easy to use and has high, natural coverage. The first thing you do is make sure you have clean hands and enough lighting to see your skin clearly. You firstly add a small amount of the high clear definition powder to the whole of your face.
This makes your skin tone completely even and it is natural and is non damaging to your skin.

After you have done this you then apply the concealer at the top of the pot which covers all blemishes and redness etc. Then your skin looks AMAZING!

This product is £19.50 but is worth it since it doesn't block up your pores meaning its fine for you to put it on your skin. I used it and it is definitely long lasting and the powder helps the concealer stay in the same place and does not rub off throughout the day.

I definitely would 100% invest in this product since its really good for girls who have redness and blemishes (like me :( x) and want to cover them up.

 This product has been tried out by the other girls on this blog too and they really liked it too. Being teenagers, I think having confidence in how your skin looks is something most girls our age worry about which is why this product is better than drugstore concealers since it has high coverage and doesn't damage your skin.

See you next time xxxx -A (P.S I think its pretty cool that my -A is like of pll) (P.P.S Thank you for all of you that have read our blog and viewed our page xxxxx

Hello from the Pretty Little Beautys! xxx

Hello!

 We are the Pretty Little Beautys and we will be posting weekly about beauty and skincare for teenage girls.

 Today we are meeting with our beauty representative who will be sampling us some of her makeup and skincare to try out. We will be posting pictures of the makeup and the results to show you our thoughts on it .

 Every Wednesday one of us will blog a post either reviewing a product or showing before and after results.

As teenage girls we believe that skincare is very important and hopefully this blog helps you find the right skincare and makeup products for you.

Also we understand that teenage girls don't have a lot of money which is why we are reviewing products that are good quality and at a reasonable price.
