Why do you wear makeup? tag

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

I have a 'goodbye 2013 hello 2014' blog post coming and a 'best products 2013' also '2013 iPhone camera life' however those are taking slightly longer to prepare and write so today I'm doing the 'why I wear makeup tag'
This was created by sprinkle of glitter and beauty crush Check out their video here.  

 This tag consists of four questions, let's get started.

 

1) when did you start?  

 I started wearing makeup when I was (this is going to sound really bad) but 8, my mum is a very big makeup lover and I would always be diving on and out of her makeup bag for some lipstick or eyeshadow but I started wearing foundation (everyday) when I was about 11 because we weren't aloud it in primary school so I just wore if on weekends then. I really started getting into make up last year though like learning about finishes and pigments and all that jazz!

 


2) how do you feel without make up? 

 If you were to ask me this at the start of 2013 I would have said... 
Honestly this is again going to sound bad but I feel almost as if my face is 'dirty' without it or incomplete... 

This is so bad but I hate not wear makeup and it's the rare days rather like today that I won't wear make up and it's cold outside and all I wanna do is sleep that I feel the most depressed?? Not depressed that's the wrong word but most unhappy in myself... On that note better go put me face on! 

But now I feel like this... 
I have gotten so much better with wearing no makeup and I feel as If I could walk out the house with just a little under eye concealer and mascara on however that's still make up so you could say I'm still trying to get over the insecurities that all teenage girls go through!  

 3) what do you like about make up?

 Apart from the fact it makes me look beautiful... I love how therapeutic it is like if I've had a panic attack or I feel ill or if I have a headache which is most days, I'll sit back and let my hands and brain go wild until I create some work of art (I'm not very good at art) and I love it also shopping, shopping is a big weakness for me and swatching happens to be my most faveritest (I'm aware that's not a word) thing to do in the whole world (besides singing) I'll go into boots for about 15 minutes and I would already swatched everything by Rimmel and maybeliene!  

 4) 3 holy grail items 

 This is a hard one but I'm going to go for:      

 1- foundation, at the moment I am loving Rimmel match perfection or if you go for a more higher end version of that I like the mac studio fix fluid foundation!

2- under eye concealer because is don't sleep a lot so a little bit of erase paste under the eye is just an amazing pick me up!

3- third is obviously my essence big lash mascara which you shall hear more about when my best of 2013 goes up and I promise it will be up by the time next Christmas gets here!

I hop this post gave you a little look into my make up life and I shall see you all soon with some new yearsie things which should have gone up before this blog post but my Iphone has been left at my new years eve party so I need to go and collect it and obviously the best of 2013 is just taking a lot longer to write and I'm going to start my goodbye 2013 and hello 2014 post now! 

Bye for now my lovelies! Xxx

Boots Haul

Hi lovelies, 

so recently I went into boots and picked up a few bits not much it all came up to around just over £21.00 which I think is quite good for what I got! 

The first thing I picked up which I've been umming and awhing about for the past few months is the 'Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 107' I've wanted this forever and I finally was brave enough to get it and I have not used anything else on my lips since I got it (Apart from my Elizebeth Arden 8 hour cream of corse) I love this lipstick, it's just so long lasting! It does make your lips feel dry however the colour lasts for like 4 hours, Obviously it wouldn't be as long lasting if you're eating and drinking constantly but even then its very long lasting. I would say that this would be much better if you applied it with lip liner as it does feather a bit through out the day but still amazing this colour is just beautiful. It also tastes amazing which is a big bonus, this will definitely be my autumn/winter staple. 

The next thing I bought was the 'Seventeen on the spot foundation' This foundation has salicylic acid in it and claims to clear skin in up to four week, now I can't really review this as of yet because I've not had it for four weeks yet! It says full coverage however I don't think it is, I'd say it more like medium coverage. The one problem is that the colour range isn't brilliant so if you have darker skin I don't think this foundation is for you unfortunately. I hate that about foundations when they don't have a full range of skin colours I think it is totally unfair:( 

I will let you know more about this product as I use it more. 

I then picked up a 'Rimmel Scandal eyes thick and thin liner in 001 black' I did struggle with this to begin with and I'm still struggling to be perfectly honest but I am starting to get the hang of it, I'm finding it hard to get a thin line with it but I guess that will come with practice. I like this product as it is extremely black and you can get quite a good flick with it. 

Because I spent over £10 on Rimmel products I got a full sized free 'Rimmel scandal eyes flex mascara' I HATE this product and I'm sorry if you love Rimmel mascaras but I just feel it sticks my lashes together and its annoying however I do absolutely LOVE the brush I think it picks up my lashes perfectly! 

The last thing I bought is very boring but its just sanex deodorant and it is THE BEST deodorant I've ever used. I bought two. 

Okay lovelies thats it for today, I hope this was helpful or you liked it, let me know what products I should try next time I go shopping. 

speak soon
