7 deadly sins of beauty TAG
Hello
Seven deadly sins of beauty TAG..... oohhhh
1. GREED: What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?
My most inexpensive beauty product is a £1 nail polish from MUA and a £2 melted lipstick from MUA if you want makeup. But my most expensive is a second hand (it wasn't used first) Estee Lauder lipstick in Lush Rose which retail at about the £20 mark.
2. WRATH: What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with?
Bronzer and Blush. Sometimes they just make me look cakey or orange. Smetimes they don't want to come out onto the brush. Other times there so pigmented I just want to cry. Most of the time they crack in the pan. But they do complete a makeup look and without them my face would look flat.
3. GLUTTONY: What are your most delicious beauty products?
Delicious? Well my Estee Lauder lipstick tastes good and my MUA melted lipstick. But I also love the taste of the Maybelline Cherry Me baby lips and the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks.
4. SLOTH: What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness?
I totally neglect my brows. I never fill them in because A. it takes waaay to long making them look natural and B. I have invisi- brows any way so all the colours of the brow spectrum just look weird on me.
5. PRIDE: What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?
Eyeshadow and mascara always make me feel really glamorous and confident. When I'm wearing lots of black and brown eyeshadow I just feel powerful.
6. LUST: What attributes do you find most attractive in a guy?
What? Why is this even in this TAG? This has nothing to do with anything.
7. ENVY: What items would you most like to receive as a gift?
I would love to get things like Bruise wheels and latex and contact lenses so I can make myself look even weirder than normal. Mum...... :)

Would you Rather? I Beauty Edition
Hello?
I'm on my 3rd TAG and I hope your enjoying them. This one is actually my favourite to watch and read. Just me?
1.) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?
Personally I only own 3 eyeshadow palettes but I literally swear by them. As I',m really into makeup and prostetics right now I am constantly using my palettes to create awesome looks. However I suppose they would be really easy to stalk up on as they are all pretty cheapy ones. I suppose all the colours are running low anyways. So I would probably loose all my palettes
2.) Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?
Oh my this is a tricky one. OK lets look at the options here. So I cut off all my hair and I go bald and have to live through the long process of growing it back and the awkward bowl cut length. Or I never cut it again and end up with it flowing a mile and half away from me when I reach the age of 99. I'd rather cut it all off.
3.) Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?
Coral all the way. I think they really suit my skin tone!
4.) If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?
I would definitely spend it on makeup. I would probably just go into Boots and MAC and Sephora buy everything in there and use it all on clients and shoots and create really cool looks.
5.) Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?
If we're talking black eyeliner and red lipstick then I would probably say lipstick as eyeliner. I could probably pull of a really thick wing and just rock it. But if we are talking any colour of eyeliner I would just buy red and pink and nude ones and wear them as lip liner all over my lips.
6.) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
Well I've been in both MAC and Sephora shops and I hate them both. Sephora is so big and full with things that I never know where to start and MAC shops normally hurt my eyes with the amount of crazy displays and there lip liner racks make my head hurt. But I would have to say Sephora because there are more brands in there that I can choose from even if it does take me a year and half to get through the whole shop.
7.) Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life?
One lip colour definitely. I don't really do lips anyways, If I had to choose one colour it would be a corally pink lipgloss just because I love that colour.
8.) Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?
Agh! I would say summer clothes in winter because I still wear jeans and jumpers in summer. I'm just that kinda gurl.
9.) Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?
Brights definitely. I just think they look so much better on my skin tone because I'm naturally tanned darks always make me look like I'm wearing bad fake tan for some odd reason.
10.) Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?
Favourite eye product (it's a brown eyeliner from Rimmel) because my favourite lip product is the lip balm from FatFace that isn't available any more.
11.) Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?
Pony tail! You should see me in a bun. Actually you shouldn't it's not a pretty sight.
12.) Would your rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?
Never use lipgloss. I know I just said I would keep lipgloss over eyeshadow but I kind of hate the way nails look. They're just weird and creepy.
13.) Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?
I practically have no eyebrows any ways so it wouldn't make much different and I could always draw them on.
14.) Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?
I would rather live without nail polish. Damn I'm making no sense I just said I hate not wearing nail polish cos nails are weird but you can always have nail wraps and shellac. I don't think that's proper nail polish is it? And I love putting makeup on my face and dressing up so I would be rather bored without it.

How much is my face worth? TAG
Hello!
Today I have a TAG for you guys as I'm not really in the review mood and I want to do something fun for this Spring period as its been so nice outside and I'm just in a good mood. This week I'm going to be posting a TAG everyday (hopefully) as I feel like I've sort of given up on my blog a bit and I love doing TAGs so hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things!
The how much is my face worth TAG basically is a makeup tutorial of my everyday makeup and then I add up all the prices at the end and see how much money I put on my face on a daily basis.
Before we start I just want to say that I don't wear any high end makeup (cos I'm broke) so this won't be the craziest amount of money. I predict around the £30 mark... I hope.
For moisturiser I use the E45 moisturiser which gives me a really fresh glow all over my face.
This costs £4.49 from Boots
Then I apply the Loreal True Match Concealer in Vanilla and the Loreal True Match Concealer in Natural Beige. I apply these under the eyes and on my nose just to conceal any dark circles and my hideous black heads.
These cost £6.99 each from Boots. Which is £13.98 in total.
I normally move onto eyes then and this varies from day to day but I would say I use the Makeup Academy heaven and earth palette more than anything else on my eyes. I normally apply a matte neutral brown and a sparkly cream onto my eyelids just to add a bit of something.
This costs £4 from Superdrug.
For eyeliner I use the Collection Extreme 24 hour felt tip liner in black. I just apply a thin strip across my upper lash line.
This costs £2.99 from Boots.
For Mascara I use the Maxfactor Masterpiece mascara in black brown and I apply one - two coats of this focusing mainly on my outer lashes.
This costs £9.99 from Boots
Its not gonna be under £30 is it?
For blush I use the Natural Collection Blush in Peach Melba really lightly.
This costs £1.99 from Boots
Rimmel Stay Matte powder is obviously the next on the list.
This costs £3.99 from Boots
Finally I use some lip-balm on my lips just to keep them soft all day. I've recently been loving the Maybelline Baby Lips for a tint of colour.
These cost £2.99 from Boots
And the total cost is (without brushes or foundation)
£44.42
WOW... Thats alot of money to me. I mean some peoples totals are £200 odd but I can't even deal with this.
Plus foundation and brushes?
Rimmel Wake me up foundation - £8.99 Boots
Real Techniques Duo Fiber Brush Set - £23.99 Boots
Total
£77.40 ........................
Well we all found out something today. Even if you buy really cheap drugstore products you end up with alot of money on your face.

What's going on
Hello !!
I kinda wunna explain what's going on.
My posts have been crappy recently
I am not as into blogging as I was before I lost it for some time
I'm trying to get back into it but for now I can't guarantee a post every week anymore. I am approaching the year mark for my blog so I'm obviously just on a slump which is understandable. But I am really trying to get my blogging mojo back
I promise I'll get back to normal xxxxx

Glowy Natural Skin Tutorial
Hello there!
Life is getting a little crazy and to be honest so is my skin. It's looking dry and unhealthy and just a little bit spotty. Most girls would say "grab your foundation tubes and concealer we have a spot to conquer!"
But this is not a good idea. Your skin can still look glowy and healthy without all the tone of crap we tend to put on our face.
Step 1:
Eat and drink healthily. I know everyone says this and you go "yeah yeah like that's ever gonna happen, I love cake!" This may be the case but there are really easy simple steps that you can follow to put more healthy stuff into our bodies. Take a large water bottle with you to (insert wherever you happen to be going) and aim to drink the whole thing by the end of the day and, voila more liquid in your system! It goes the same with eating healthily. This doesn't mean you have to eat salad and fruit for the rest of your life. It just means be more careful when choosing snacks. Another great way of cutting down on fatty foods is not bringing money to (insert place where you may stay all day and have to buy lunch e.g school) and take a healthy packed lunch which can really help prevent unhealthy eating.
Step 2:
Wash your face. I have never or will never be one of those people who uses 8 billion products on there skin every morning. Right now I see no need for toners, cleansers, scrubs, eye creams, oils, serums and lotions to be used all on my face in one morning. I use the (that's a name and a half) and it does a really good job of brightening and refreshing my skin. Having bright skin immediately makes it look healthy and this wash really does give a healthy glowy natural look to the skin.
Step 3:
Moisturise. I use the Gorgeous moisturiser from LUSH. This is bloomin expensive but I got this little sample size in a gift box and I am extremely sad that I will probably never be rich enough to buy it again. This moisturiser immediately brightens the skin and is a real miracle worker. I use this as primer and foundation effectively. It makes my skin look so good I've completely lost the use for foundation which in order makes my skin look amazing because I'm not shoving a hole load of chemicals onto my face. This moisturiser has pineapple, lemon and orange juice to add radiance and primrose oil to sooth and moisturise. This stuff is amazing. However if like me this is ridiculously out of your price range then the trusty E45 moisturising cream is great if a little oilier.
Step 4:
Concealer. I only apply concealer under my eyes now. This really helps to brighten my complection and appear less tired then I actually am. I used to never apply concealer anywhere on my face especially under my eyes because my face just doesn't seem to like it but then I met a little gem called the Loreal True Match Concealer. It is bloomin amazing. I use the lightest shade under my eyes which is Vanilla. It is probably half a shade lighter then my natural face colour and I love it. I apply this under the eyes with a Real Techniques Duo Fiber Contour Brush which applies it amazingly natural. I would definitely recommend both these products.
Natural Collection Blush Peach Melba £1.99
Step 5:
A little blush. Using a light blush can really illuminate the skin and give it a little more colour. Obviously if you have rosy cheeks already there is no need for blush. But if like me your a bit colourless in the face department then a light dusting of peachy, rosy toned blush can really help give your face a lift. I use the Natural Collection blush in Peach Melba and it is gorgeous. A light dusting of this immediately finishes the look. Cream blushes are also great but I find it hard to get the right amount of product on my skin and it can end up looking to much. Less is more in the blush scenario.
With this look I always go for a light gold toned eyeshadow and a lip balm with a green undertone. A light coating of brown mascara and a light coating of powder under my eyes.

How to get more followers on Blogger
Hello!
You know lots of people look up how do I get more followers? Well this is the 3 rules that everyone says you should follow
Rule #1: Stay on topic. Pick a topic that you love, and stick to it. If you wander off that topic, people will stop following.
Rule #2: Optimize your blog. Learn how to use keywords to get more traffic from search engines.
Rule #3: Keep your posts short. There are very few people that will read anything longer than a few paragraphs.
And… I officially declare those three rules to be 100% horse manure, not to mention BORING.
I present to you Humphrey's new revitalized list.
Rule #1. Write about whatever the heck you want to write about. You can keep some general topics, but if you haven’t noticed, SDL is all over the place and most survive the experience intact.
Rule #2. What is optimization? Why worry about search? Somebody clicking in because a friend told them to come visit is 10,000 times more powerful than somebody clicking in from a search engine. Focus on what will make that happen, instead.
Rule #3. Keep it short? Are you serious? Yes, most of the time, but use however many words you need to use if you’re putting an important message out there. The bullying post was somewhere in the area of 4,000 words. That’s around 19 pages double-spaced, and in its first three days it had more than a quarter million views. Had I tried to sum it up in 500 words it would have died out the gates because the message would have been left behind.
Rule #4. In addition to the message, pictures of really cute pugs seem to work well, too. 
Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Butter
Hello!
Just before we start I am so not about to scream at my laptop for being slow and old and not working with my camera. Nope I am totally calm and really not frustrated and I am so not about to cry.
This body butter is my new obsession. I think it is probably the best thing I have used on my body.
First lets talk about the amazing smell. I normally apply this at about 7.30 in the morning and I can still smell it on my skin after 5.00 that night. It is amazing. This is my current favourite fragrance. It smells of limes and something sweet. It's not a specific smell but to me it kind of like the smell of sweet yogurt or cream cheese minus the cheese. I don't know but whatever it is it smells incredible.
The product itself is super moisturising and feels really nice on the skin. I am definitely (totally haven't spent 5 minutes figuring out how to spell that word) going to repurchase this about a gizzilion times.
The only down side is that it cost £10.50 which isn't exactly budget friendly. Hey mum you know how you have some money..... :)

Oh Hallelujah my camera has started working after half an hour of near serious break down. Enjoy the pictures. Personally I think you should follow my blog just for the amount of frustration and perseverance that went into this post. There was actual tears. ACTUAL TEARS!!

What's in my Shower?
Hello!!
Today is something a little different from my usual as I'm going to be going through whats been living in my shower for the past few weeks.
Garnier Pure Active Anti-Blackhead Deep Pore Wash - £2.65
Pantene Pro Light Repair and Protect Shampoo - £2.09
Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Moisture and Shine Conditioner - £3.99
Today is something a little different from my usual as I'm going to be going through whats been living in my shower for the past few weeks.
This is one of those body washes that is just good. It does what it supposed to and makes my skin super soft. Recently I have been suffering from dry skin and this has cleared that up amazingly well. It has a lovely clean soapy scent that I personally love. It isn't super amazingly special but I like it.
This next body wash is a Christmas present that I got on Thursday (late prezzies are the best don't ya think?). It's a mini size of the Soap and Glory Sugar Crush shower wash. I was a bit skeptical of this as every time I've smelt it in Boots it didn't really appeal to me but now I've used it a few times I can see why people like the smell. It definitely is not a sugary scent it reminds me of lime and cream. The wash itself is super smooth and feels quite foamy. Definitely going to repurchase this one.
This is probably the worst thing I have ever put on my face... ever. It claims to unclog pores whilst keeping skin silky smooth and hydrates. It's awful. I have serious blackhead problems and I was hoping this would just clear it all up. Oh no. There still there. Ok they've gotten a bit better but my skin is so dry. Literally the skin round my nose is flaking. It's gross and quite frankly I hate this. Waste of money.
This Shampoo is a new one I've been trying and I quite like it. It smells of fruit mainly watermelon and is very nice. I quite like the feel of this in my hair and it does keep it healthy and is helping the dryness of my hair at the moment. As I am growing my hair at the moment I have really dry split ends and it isn't in great shape. This is helping my hair look slightly better.
I did a review of this way back in April or something and I still love it just as much. It keeps my hair soft and shiny. Adds control and keeps my hair clean for days. It smells gorgeous helps take out knots and is just generally a really good conditioner. I also love the shampoo but I just ran out of that.

Spring Vision Wishlist
Hello there!
I have to say I am extremely excited for Spring this year. I have a vision of myself at a picnic in the sun wearing the perfect outfit. But first I have to accumulate all of the stuff to achieve my vision. So I thought I would create a wishlist for you.
ASOS Stripy Long Sleeved Top - I have been wanting a long sleeved top like this for a while now; and you may be thinking "that's a pretty standard item of clothing why would you want one of them?" Well I have always loved black and white striped clothing like this and recently I just haven't been buying them. So this Spring I'm going to buy plenty of stripy tops to make up for my slight lacking in that department.
Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick - Bright Orange-Red - Bring on the next part of my Spring Vision. Bright matte orange lips and stripy tops? Hello! Now I'm not exactly sure whether I can pull off such a bright colour but I'm going to try. This Kat Von D liquid lipstick is super bright and very Spring/Summer appropriate. However it is a little pricey. Any suggestions in the comments about a cheaper option would be much appreciated
TopShop Pelaxed Utility Trousers - Black - These trousers are gorgeous! They are just amazing. The rips in the knees make them cool. The tailored style makes them formal. The big pockets make them boyish and practical. They are just gorgeous! And because there 5/6 length (??????? not 3/4 so what are they then? 5/6) they are going to keep you warm but not to hot.
Desert Boots - I know what your thinking. Desert boots seriously? They are like so last summer! Well I know but I blooming couldn't find a single pair last year that fitted or that I liked. There was a desert boot famine. But I've finally found them. Thats all I'm saying.

H&M hat - You know how Zoe and Gabby are always rocking the floppy hats. Well I kinda like the idea and I've been eyeing up this simple one from H&M for a while now. Although I do have a slight problem. I have a huge head. It never fits in anything. Do you know of any places that sell hats not made for mice?

TheBarry M Nail Polishes
Hello there!!
Now we all know what a Barry M nail polish is and we have all read about a squibillion reviews on them but..... I'm doing this anyways.
 |
| 417 Carousel Limited Edition |
This nail polish was given to me quite recently and it is beautiful. The colour itself is a stunning bright coral with gold duo-chrome shimmers. It applies well. It's a 1 coat wonder (whoop whoop) and would look amazing at the pool side in summer.
 |
| 306 Blueberry Ice-Cream and 308 Berry Ice-Cream |
These are some of my favourite nail polishes for spring time as they are really cute pastel colours. These apply really well and you can get away with 1 or 2 coats with these. They also have good stay power and will last for 5-6 days without chipping if you apply them properly.
 |
| These are from the infamous Gelly Hi-Shine collection and are amazing. They stay on the nails for atleast a week without chipping and are a dream to apply. I've had Lychee on my nails for about 2 weeks now and it only started chipping on Thursday. The colour Guava is one of my favourites and looks incredible with a tan. |
This Polish is from the Chameleon range. These nail polishes change colour and you would think they would be awesome..... Uhuh. Not quite. The nail polish chipped after my first day of wearing it and it turns from a gorgeous silvery lilac to just a very ordinary silver. Not quite the amazingness I was expecting.

The Plum Lips Edit
Hello Humphers!
Last post I did I promised a Plum Lip post on my favourite plum wintery colours so here we are!!
 |
| Miss Sporty Perfect Colour Lipstick 033 Miss Purple |
This colour is very glittery so if your not into glitz then move on.
However this lipstick is the perfect Pinky, Plummy, Purple. It smells amazing (watermelon...mmmm...) and it lasts quite a while I would say 2-3 hours which is very good for a lipstick that only costs £2.59! You can feel the glitter on your lips but I kinda like it. But you know personal taste and what not.
 |
| Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick 330 Sloane's Plum This is by far the best lipstick I own although unfortunately I only own this one very daring colour. It is an extremely deep plum which is almost black. The lipstick itself is extremely creamy and moisturising (eh duh moisture renew lipstick). These don't get nearly enough praise on the internet! |
My Mum and Dad kindly gave this to me for Christmas and I've been wearing it non stop. The colour payoff is immaculate. This shade is a pretty rosey-plum and is a very wearable colour. So if your not keen on the WOWMYLIFE colours this is a good option and they are very cheap. The product comes with a sealing lipbalm on the end. This really does make a difference as when I just wear the product on its own it doesn't last as long.
This is the first ever lipstick I owned and it's done me a good 4 years of service. The colour is a gorgeous reddy pinky plum and is beautiful with sparkly champagne eyes. I sometimes wear this with a black lipliner or eyeliner underneath to make a lovely deep plummy black. Unfortunately the range is discontinued so you can't get your hands on one of these but I thought I would feature it anyways.
Kate Moss Lipstick 07 (dissapeared of the internet)
For some reason unknown to human since this shade has been discontinued (I only found this out like 3 seconds ago). However do not be disheartened young chaps because this lipstick had a good life, short but very sweet. This lipstick is a very nudey plum. It's verging on Kylie Jenner but is just a little darker and deeper. The lipstick itself as always is amazing with the Kate Moss collection. The finish isn't matte but not glossy. A sort of satin finish but is very moisturising and comfortable on the lips
This is the final product and is very pretty. The gloss itself is a pinky plummy colour and is very glossy. It sticks to lips well. The only down side is the annoying squeezy tube it comes in as it likes itself a bit of product. Although for a kids lipgloss it isn't bad.
PS. it smells amazing!!!
