The Emoji Challenge!

Hello everybody! I'm going to be doing the emoji challenge, I've seen so many people doing this on YouTube, so i thought i'd do it as a blog post! If you don't know what it is, it's where you pick five emoji's that describe you the best. Enjoy! 

1. The nice face emoji:
I love this emoji, i also use it a lot in texts! And i think it looks a bit shy and i think that's part of my personality.

Beginners Guide To Makeup | Collab




 Hello everyone, today's post is going to be what makeup you should use if you are a beginner. This is also a collab with the wonderful +Hollie Wilsher , so go check hers out after! 
Disclaimer: This is my opinion, i'm not a professional.

So, first you want a base, if you are just starting out in makeup you won't need foundation just concealer.
My recommendation is either Rimmel London Hide The Blemish Concealer or Collections Long-Lasting Perfection Concealer. This will cover your blemishes and dark circles.


Then for powder i have the Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder, you can get this in your skin tone or you can get a translucent powder, which wont change the colour of your skin. Powder helps set your base in place, it will hopefully last you all day!


Next is blush, i have the W7 Powder Blush In Rose, this will give you glow and colour on the apples of your cheeks! Don't put to much on, you only need a little bit!


Moving on to contour and highlighting. I'm not sure you need this if you're a beginner but i thought i'd put it in here. Bronzer gives your cheeks and temples more depth and highlighter gives your cheekbones a nice glow. Make sure you get a matte bronzer with no sparkles, (I made that mistake). Here i have the W7 Double Act Bronzer and Highlighter.


Moving on to eyes, you should have at least one eyeliner and one mascara. Eyeliner either makes your eyes bigger (white eyeliner) or smaller (black eyeliner). Mascara makes your lashes bigger and fuller.





Now onto eye shadow, all beginners need some sort of palette. I recommend the Seventeen Eye Palette, there should be loads more to choose from your local drugstore.


For lips all you need is a tinted lip balm, baby lips have really good ones!


Now for tools, (this bit is optional) you need a big powder brush, a blusher brush and an eye shadow brush. You might also want an eyelash curler to prep your lashes for mascara.


There it is, a beginners guide to makeup! Hope you liked it, and you found it helpful. Give it a like and follow to know when i post new blog posts! Don't forget to check out Hollie's blog:

Take care,

In The Buff W7 Palette - Review

Hey guys, welcome back to my blog! I'm going to be sharing with you my thoughts on the In The Buff W7 Palette. Enjoy!

So, this palette is one of four, there is In The Nude, Lightly Toasted and  In The Night. On the W7 website they are around £10.00 but i got mine of amazon for £5.00. 



The packaging was not damaged, i really like it! Some people say its a dupe for the Naked palettes, but i haven't got any of them to compare. Inside is a variety of neutral colors from cool tone to warm. It also comes with a handy brush, which doesn't feel that cheap to me, but it can be a bit hard on the eyes.


I also swatched some of the colors so you can have a look at the pigmentation of the shadows.


They do take a bit of building up to achieve the look that you want but as i said it was only £5.00. I didnt know the eye shadows had names until i looked on the back. 


Overall i think it is a great palette for the price and i would definitely buy the other ones!

There it is, hope you liked it! If you would like me to do more reviews then comment down below, also give this a like so you know when i publish new posts!

Take care guys.
