Would You Rather - Beauty Edition

I came across this on a few blogs and it looked really good so i thought I'd try it!

6) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
MAC MAC MAC MAC MAC MAC MAC

7) Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life?

My Weekend Makeup!

Since i'm not allowed to wear makeup to school, i love doing it on weekends. and i literally mean love, like even if i'm not going out i'll just sit there for ages doing it. So i thought I'd share what i use with you!

1. first i wash my face and everything but I'll be doing a whole other post about my daily beauty products so i wont share that but then i use a Bare Minerals Prime Time Primer. I find its really good for smoothing away dry skin, but on bad days it just wont fully cover it. I don't have a picture for that because i forgot to take one but I'm sure i've posted one in past posts.

2. Then i use my Full Flawless Face Bare Minerals Brush to put on my Bare Minerals Original Foundation in Fair (haha the palest one). This is good if you have quite clear skin but just have a bit of colour correcting like rosy cheeks or a red nose because i find it helps the colour a lot. I wouldn't recommend this for spots or blemishes because it doesn't cover them very well. I'll also use this as a concealer by applying it with a Bare Minerals Concealer Brush.

3. Then i use my Clinique Blushing Blush Powder Blush (said blush a lot i know) in Iced Lotus. And use my EcoTools Blusher Brush.

4. Then I finish my face with Bare Minerals Mineral Veil using my Full Flawless Face Brush.

5.After, i Apply Collection 2000 Kohl Pencil in Birdy Song to my lower water line and sometimes my upper lash line.

6. Then I'll add eye shadow. I'm always using my Victoria Jackson palette and i use a browny pinky colour as a base and then top it with a satin grey (i'm the worst at describing scents sorry) I apply it with an EcoTools  Eye Shadow Brush.

7. I then finish my eyes with a Maybelliene The Volume Express Mascara and I Brush my eyebrows and comb my lashes with and EcoTools Comb and Brush.

8. Because my eyes are quite big, i'll normally just go with either a plain Honey Trap Lush Lip balm which was in my May Favorites or I'll use my Favorite lipstick ever, Topshop Lipstick in Desert.

  These are my EcoTools brushes that i use. From Left to Right: Blusher Brush, Eyebrow Brush and Lash Comb, Eye Shadow Brush and Eyeliner Brush.

Thank you for reading, i hope you enjoyed that! Please leave a comment to tell me what you thought, comments make me so happy!

May Favorites!

Last month was quite a busy month for me, but most of it was getting presents so i have much more to show for my favorites. This wont be as long as my usual favorite posts because I have quite a few things to list this month but I'll just get right to it!

1. Tangle Teaser. I know, i'm so late with these! I do remember when they first came out a while ago, but i thought they were just an average brush. NO. They are amazinggggg. I have been using it for like 2 days now (so technically they're a June favorite) and i'm already noticing a huge difference with my hair. I don't think I'll ever go back to a regular brush!

2. Next is something i actually got for Christmas but i only just started using it last month. Its Boots Extracts Fair trade Coconut Body Butter. I really thought it'd be rubbish because it was Boots own brand but i tried it and loved it. It says 'moisturizes and hydrates, leaving skin soft and smooth' which i agree with. It also smells great - like summer! I went downstairs after i put it on and my mum walked past and said 'mm you smell like coconut'! definitely recommend this.

3. Jack Wills English Velvet Perfume. I got this for my birthday from my sister and i really like it. I really smells like Jack Wills when you walk in and all my friends recognize it when i wear it too. It smells really British, like i cant even imagine an american wearing it because it smells so warm... i don't know if i'm making any sense.

4. Aussie Miracle Moist Conditioner. I found this was really good for me, i don't really have that dry hair but I just really like it. It really softens my hair and it smells really sweet and quite summery. I'm very disappointed that i'm going to have to stop using next week because i'm getting my hair ombred so I'll have to start using shampoo and conditioner for colored hair, but I'll definitely be using Aussie again!

5. Johnson's Holiday Skin Body Lotion for Fair to Medium skin. I'm very pale so for summer i really want to give my self a tan, but quite natural and subtle so i don't look like someone from TOWIE so i picked up this to try and i really like it. It starts to build up after about 2 applications and it smells really fresh and summery (I know a lot of things are smelling summery at the moment) so i just really like it.

6. Lush Honey Trap Lip Balm. I really love this one. And i mean REALLY. It works really well on the lips and really moisturizes them. I also found that its good for wearing over night, because i can never go to sleep without any lip balm on and i don't wake up with it sticky or liquidy, its just how i left it. The only thing that annoys me is the scent, I stupidly bought the honey one thinking i liked the smell of honey - i don't. at all. I really wish i got the other one, i think it was Lip Service or something. But i still use it anyway because its so good!

7. Topshop Lipstick in Desert. I absolutely love this shade. I got it from my sister for Christmas a while ago and i never really used it because i thought it was too orange but i found it again and wore it. I love it so much now, when i lost a week ago i wanted to cry because i think they discontinued the shade :( but i found it again! i love it.

8. Bare Minerals Full Flawless Face Foundation brush. I really like this brush because it gives the best coverage from my Bare Minerals Foundation and leaves a natural finish which i loveeee. 

9. Sun-In Spray Hair Lightener - Heat Activated. This stuff really works and doesn't l

eave any fake horrible colors, it makes it look really natural and sun-kissed. I used it on the ends of my hair about a month ago to see what ombre would look like and i loved it so i'm getting it done this Friday! Really happy with it.

10. Colgate Total Pro Gum Health Mouthwash. I don't know what it is about it, maybe its the taste or the things it does or the fact its only for 30 seconds but i'm really impressed with it. The only this is, you have to take it as two cap-fulls and it gets everywhere so its really difficult to take.

11. Last thing isn't a beauty item but Peppermint Tea! I'm in love with it right now, i have now idea why but it just makes me so happy and refreshed. :)

That's all of them, I hope you liked this! please leave a comment down below of what you think and what your favorites are, i would love to hear them!

Recent Clothing Purchases

Hi everyone! I haven't been posting in a while because it was my first week back at school after the half-term so I've been a bit unorganized. Anyways, over the half-term, i went shopping quite a lot and got a few things that i want to share with you.

First thing are some dip dye shorts. They are high waist white shorts with purple at the bottom. I got them for about £25 in Camden somewhere. Now these aren't actually the usual sort of things i would pick up and like. The only reason i found them was because my aunty pointed them out saying she thought i might like them and i loved them. They're quite short but i thing if i wear them right, then i wont look very slutty.

Next i got a lovely t shirt kind of top with cute autumn leaves and Paris and Audrey Hepburn on it. I really loved it because its literally the cutest thing with all my favourite things on it. I got this for around £8 in Camden again and its so nice. Its kind of bingo wings, the sleeves are really attached the the top kind of. I don't know, i'm the worst at describing these things.

Then a few days later i went to primark with my friends. we originally went to look at the men's section for some comfy t shirts and hoodies (Cynthia's idea, not mine) but then we just ended up in the womens. So i was just quickly looking for something i really wanted like a blouse with a cute collar or something when i came across and nice navy peplum top. I really wanted a peplum top, not sure why but it was better because it was lace and pretty so of course i had to buy it. I was also soooooooooooooo happy because it was in the sale so it was only £3!

I also needed some new swimming costumes and bikinis for summer so i went straight online to topshop! I bought a black bikini top for around £15 to match my high waist black bikini bottoms for £10 that i got for my birthday. I was really happy with the top because you can remove the straps which, i don't know, just really excites me.

I also bought a Polka dot swimming costume from topshop and i'm so sorry but i completely forgot how much it is but it was around £25 i think. I just found it really cute because it has white and black polka dots on it (i'm a sucker for anything polka dotted) with a black bottom. the change in pattern happens at the waist too so it created that old fashioned hour glass figure. This one also has removable straps so yaaaaay.

So i hope you enjoyed this post and think about buying one of these products for yourself!

Revision

So my year 8 end of year tests are coming up. Yeah, I'm not too pleased but i still got to revise! Anyways, since i have to revision at the moment, i thought maybe some other people are too so i'm going to share my revision tips! This is the stuff that I've heard, tried/am trying that work but i'm not 100% sure it will work for everyone because everyone's different but i do hope it helps you.

1. Don't blow it off and say "oh i cant be bothered so I'll do it tomorrow" because there's a 99% chance you wont have time or will forget about it and not do it.

2. Turn your phone on silent with the screen facing the floor, this way you wont get distracted but you don't have to turn it off. You could also quickly search things up on the internet to help revise on your phone.

3. Get anything that you have to do out the way by doing it quickly otherwise that could stop you from working properly.

4. Decide what works best out of this list:

• Word Gaps
• Audio Players
• Games
• Reading 
• writing
• Questions

Most of these are pretty self explanatory but I'll explain them all just in case you didn't understand what any were.

Word Gaps - write out a passage of some writing of work, leave some words out, replacing them with gaps. then when you want to, fill out the gaps without looking at the original writing. I usually make this the night before my revision day and then complete them on my revision day.

Audio Players - lots of people like revising by listening, i personally dont because i get distracted really easily but some people find it works better for them. There are some audio things you can find on the internet (e.g. BBC Bitesize, MathsWatch) that will educate you through words, most of them have videos too.

Games - there are hundreds of games to revise with on websites like MyMaths and SumDog. These can help alot because you can get really in to it without realizing you're working.

Reading - Some people just like to read a passage of writing a few times and then its in their head, i cant do that most of the time but i can occasionally.

Writing - Some people can write out like a text book or some writing and they remember it, i cant do that either.

Questions - I think lots of people like to find questions from textbooks, the internet etc. and work them out to help revise and that works sometimes with me.

For me, I have to read through some writing in little bits and work out whats it means in my own way, so i'll put it in my own words in my head. Then, i'll either copy out the writing I've just read or put it in my own words. Then i have to read through my own writing again and do a few questions and maybe make a word gap.

5. Do what ever works for you for as long as you need (be honest with yourself, do you really think you've got it in your mind?) and then maybe move on to another subject.

6. Make sure you base everything around your exams. So don't revise for french the day before a maths exam and don't revise for your science test 2 weeks before it actually is.

This may seem like a lot of effort and maybe it is but trust me, it'll be worth it when you get great marks.
Good luck!

All my love and luck,
PinkLips xo
