Tips and tricks of the month ( june)

-I heard on tv that to stop mosquito bites you should eat marmite in the morning
personally marmite is really gross but neverless i tried and ...... It worked they were mosiess every
where but i didnt get one bite
- the longer your eyebrows are the smaller your nose looks
- When waxing you can use oil to remove the left over wax
- if your jawline is longer than two inches ( ear lobe to middle of chin)Long hair will suit you and visa versa
- to make nails really shiny and smooth use a buffer
- if you heat up eyeliner in your hand for 30 seconds or so before application
it will go on smoother
- to give your face more dimension use two shades of blusher
the lightest at the back of your cheekbones the darkest on your cheeks but blend at middle of cheekbone and blend well
- if your lips are naturally dark use a concealer then blot them with powder then apply light shade of lipstick.
- if you have oily skin use blotting papers on your nose and forehead to remove oil
if your about to pop a spot use a strerilized needle because your hands are full of bacteria and sweat even if you wash them the bacteria will get in your spot and cause either infection or it will just grow back

Thats it for june

Elf makeup brushes

I went on the elf website and saw theese brushes they retail at £1.50 each but
you can buy them in sets however i bought them separately
and im going to tell you honestly exactly what i thought about them
ill start with the face brushes

Elf professional foundation brush
I really dont like this it clogs with foundation after one swipe then sticks together in 3 or
4 clumps i have no idea how this is " professional " at all
really please do not buy this

elf professional total face brush
i really like the red colour of the bristles
its really pretty but this brush is really big and
i dont know what anyone would use it for
ive had theese brushes for about a month and
the bristles are fraying and flying everywhere
its quite soft to touch so overall im not sure on this one

elf professional bronzing brush.
it has the same colouring of the total face brush so thats cute
and it has an angled edge but it is a bit rough and dosent pick up colour evenly
but i use it everyday for contouring and it works well

then we are onto the eye brushes

Elf professional smudge eye sponge
well its really hard and it hurts to put near my eye so that is pretty useless
it dosent smudge well at all so really this is useless
i dont hate it but i wish i didnt buy it

elf professional eye shadow brush
i love this brush the bristles are really short so it holds lots of eye shadow
feels lovely and soft i really think eberyone should get one

elf professional blending eye brush
i love this brush too
really soft and blends well and it also makes
a gorgues sharp edge to a smokey eye
they are all the brushes i bought and i may get more
soon so ill be updating on that

See you soon xxx

In's and out's

Firstly in's :

summer, yeah this is pretty obvious but finally summer is fast approching
which means holidays, sunburn if your lucky, beaches and ice cream
sounds pretty good ey ?

Bright colours, dresses, shoes, headbands anything you can get in a neon pink

wavy summer hair, im feeling that poker straight hair has lost its trend and big wavy "beach hair" is really in this season

coral lips, again with the beach theme the orange pink colours show off a tan really well

Out''s

Clip in hair extensions, big bulky fake looking extensions just dont look nice anymore whereas last year
they were all the rage but now when i see them i feel phiscally sick please women if you want
longer hair get real extensions or do the unthinkable... Grow it

ugg boots, im sad to see them go and i love them but maybe theyll be back next winter :)

thats all i can think of so far so see yall layer xxx

Lush favourite

For those who dont know lush is a bath/shower company everything is organic and envirorment friendly
and at the least i could say its one of my favourite shops, this is a review of just a few lush products

Upside: first off " space girl bath ballistic" this i think is from the retro range its a bath bomb the shape of a flying saucer with sparkles of
purple glitter everywhere i love this it smells of blueberrys and blackcurrent and sugar all in one sniff its very addictive and very
sweet so if sweet smells dont do anything for you this will most likely not be the one
for you.
down side: When i put this in the bath i was exeptcing something amazing and magical and to be
honest that is not what i got at all, it sort of hit the water then dissapeared it didnt leave a very strong fragrence
and the water had no change execpt from a slight liliac tint that lasted all of 5 mins
price: i think this was £1.80

this is a "comforter bubble bar" used to make bubbles like a bubble bath gel but this is in soild form,
upside: smells like blackcurrent, blubberies basically super dooper sweet and berryie :) well this huge
i broke it into 6 good sized pecies and thats 6 baths in one item even though the website says to break.
into 2, it made my bath go a gorgues bright pink and it filled the room with its sugary smell and to fit the
name i certantly did feel as if there was a big blanket wrapped round me i was certainly " comforted"
downside: i dont think ive said this yet about anything but honestly for me there was no downsides at all
price: £3.99

then here we have it the ooh so popular rockstar soap
upside: smells like a sweet shop theres no better way to describe the scent than that,
it can be cut off to any size you want i normally get the 100 g small blocks and i cut them into
3 i use these in the shower and scent lingers on my body

Downside: lush soap dont lather well at all for instance this would not work at all for shaving your legs
or having that " im shampooing my body " feel and maybe that wont bother you but
for me i like being in a big fluffy sweet shop smelling nest of clouds
price: around £3.00 depends on the exact weight.
