Monthly Reflect: March

I did one of these last month and it went down really well with you guys, so I am going to do one for March

 

This month I haven't been able to post as much as I wanted because of revision and coursework for my GCSE's. Here is list of posts I did this month:

 

Spring Q&A

Spring Nail polish picks

Spring Makeup wish list

Spring Makeup picks   

50 blog post ideas for when bloggers block strikes

Skin care routine

 The infinity dreams award

 

Talking of GCSE's, I got my ICT result back from the exam I did in January and I got an A overall. I also sat my 5 hour photography recently, which went it went okay. Its just so dull though

 

  I haven't been able to do a lot of fun things for a while but last Thursday I went to see Charlie and the chocolate factory musical in London, omg it was amazing. If you ever go and see a show in the west go and see it because the cast, set and music was all mind blowing.

 

 

 

 I have really been loving eye shadow palettes lately. This one I got from collection, is so good for the price of £2.99. I am planning on doing a whole post about it- like different looks you can create with it.( Buy here)

 

 

 

We are now officially in to spring. I hope to post a lot more 'springy' posts from now on but I will probably end up skipping spring and going straight to summer with all the revision I have to do. With all the work i have to do i may not be uploading as much as i want but by the end June I will have 2 months off.

Favourite spring nail polishes

 

 

With spring fast approaching now, its time to put away the glitter polishes and the reds. Its time to get out the pastels! I am going to be doing a little rundown of my favourites. If you have any recommendations, do leave them down below        Ciate yellow loop the loop These is such a pretty yellow colour. I think it is perfect for spring and summer.  Miss sporty blue 39 I am not sure if you can get this one anyone but I am sure you can get similar. Its the perfect light blue colour. Opi plank a lot Opi is one of my favourite nail polish brands. The brushes are really good as they give a nice even coat. This is such a pretty lilac colour.     Barry m berry This colour is very similar to the Opi one. It is a perfect lilac colour. I really want to get more Barry M polishes as they are so good. Avon green sea breeze Avon is not one of my favourite nail polish brands but this one is a lovely light green, perfect for spring and summer.  Ciate green apple and custard I love the name of this polish. Its quite similar to the Avon one but is better quality as it is more expensive  Ciate pillow fight This is another purple polish. It is slightly more grey toned than the other purple ones.     Technic: The next four polishes are from techic. I am not sure where you can get these polishes from as I got them from a set for Christmas. They are not my favourite but the colours are really pretty. The colours I have include; purple 8 Pink 1 Nude 4 Green 3 I hope you enjoyed this post.    Let me know your favourite nail polishes for spring and summer

Spring Makeup Wishlist

 

With the upcoming spring season, there is definitely some new makeup bits that I want to

pick up, so that I can replace the warm berries and red shades with light pastel pinks.

 

 Barry M Natural Glow Eye Shadow and Face Blusher Palette  £6.49

I love eye shadow palettes, especially the nude ones- as you can never have too many nude

eye shadows.

 

Zoella ' Just say Yes Makeup bag' £8

I really am in need of a new makeup. I would love to pick up one of these but I hardly doubt I will.

I will probably just pick up a cheaper version from Primark.

 

Rimmel stay matte pressed power £3.99

This isn't a new product, but its one that everyone always goes on about that isn't in

my collection yet.

Mua blusher in cupcake £1

The cheapest item in my list, so I really hope to pick it up. Its just a basic

blush in a light pink shade. I have heard some really good things out these from fellow blogger friends.   

 

Real Techniques Mini Must-Haves £7.99

I always tend to find brushes kind of confusing. But this set is ideal for travelling or if you want a

good quality set of basic brushes. For £8 I don't think that is bad at all

 

Hope you enjoyed this post x

Let me know what is on your spring wish list.

Spring Makeup Picks ( collab)

 Todays post is all about my some of my spring makeup picks. However its quite a special post because its a collab with 4 of my fellow blogger friends, who you can read and follow their blogs here:

http://chloepaigee.blogspot.co.uk/

http://secretlymegan.blogspot.co.uk/

http://atouchofpastels.blogspot.co.uk/

http://heyitisjess.blogspot.co.uk/

 

We all picked a face, eye and lip product. So go and check their blogs out when you have finished.
 

 I will start of with my face product. No surprises to what concealer  I chose. The collection lasting perfection concealer in number 2 . This a perfect all year round concealer, it gives such heavy coverage without looking cakey. However I also believe its really good for spring as its perfect if you don't want to wear a lot of makeup as the days start to get warmer but still want some coverage.

My eye product of choice is the benefit roller mascara. I am sure everyone and their mum has tried this mascara. But it is truly the best mascara I have ever tired. It adds so much definition and volume to my lashes its unreal. It doesn't clump and it also stays put through out the day.

  Last but not least my lip product of choice is the collection crème puff lip-gloss in cotton candy. This is actually quite a new addition to the family and OMG it has quickly become a new favourite. Frist of all it smells amazing, which is always a winner with me but its also super moisturizing , the colour pay of is gorgeous  and it is also easy to apply. Not to mention it is only £2.99. I couldn't recommend these more.

Skin Care Routine :2015

Today I am going to be doing a updated skin care routine. I did one of these posts quite a while ago, as some things have changed I thought I would update you.

 

 

 

I first of all use my simple kind to skin cleanser. This stuff is super smooth on the face and leaves my skin feeling really soft. To remove my makeup I use the garnier micellar water. This gets of mascara really well but is also really hydrating on the skin. Its made for sensitive skin, so I would totally recommend if you do suffer from sensitive skin.

 

 

 

 If I am feeling really lazy I may take my makeup of with the soap and glory wipes. These are not the most hydrating wipes around but smell amazing. At £4.50 I would recommend you give them a try.

 

 

To moisture no surprises here I use the simple kind to skin moisturiser . Its been a holy grail product of mine for years and I will always come back to it.

 

 The last part of my skin care routine is this acne gel. Its called benzoyl peroxide and I truly believe this is the best cream out there. This one is 5%concentration.  At £10 its not the cheapest cream around but if you suffer really badly your local GP may be able to prescribe it to you.

 

That's it for my skincare routine. Hope you enjoyed.

Thanks for reading.
