Throwing away bucks on eye primer?!!....STOP!



Before eye primer was invented how do you think women got that gorgeous full colour and no creasing? CONCEALER! That's right! Cheap, plain, simple concealer. So stop splurging £11/$18 on Primer potion or Shadow Insurance and save with concealer. Don't believe me? I tried it out. Below you'll see a picture. In this picture I have used a really bad eyeshadow which is hardly pigmented. I have swiped it twice on my hands. One of the swipes have concealer on it.

Sorry about the hazy quality! So as you can see the left swipe is the one with concealer and the right on is without. Notice that?! I evenly swiped them both with the same pressure and amount on the brush. So there you have it! I did another test to see if it creases, okay so I have no picture but....it only started to crease after 7 hours! That's pretty excellent! So there you have it don't bother buying primer just do with your concealer!

Back To Basics!

I'm pretty sure you've heard this so many times before your tired of it but take look, you might just like it. Here I'm going to list some must have basics coming up for autumn/winter. Basics are very versitile, they say 70% of your wardrobe should be basics and 30% new fashion. Over here I've collected some classic basics from the high streets shops. Basics can be worn anywhere, anyhow and any time. To jazz them up add some accessories and patterns and your ready to go! So here are some solid coloured, plan patterned, simple basics:

Coming up!

I've planned a few things. Firstly I'm thinking of a review of some make up products and some other beauty products. I'm also thinking of posting a how-to for a home made lip exfoliant which is going to be explained step by step and also a review on it. Then I think I might do a "My favourite outfits" post. Lots more planned to but these are what I'll probably do now. Leave a comment saying what you think and aslo perhaps a request or suggestion?

What's in my everyday make up bag?! O;

Okay this this post will say exactly what the title says ;) : (all high street/cheaper brands!)

  • Fast stroke liquid eyeliner by collection 2000:
This thing is my must have! I do not leave my house without my liquid eyeliner thickly lining my eyes. Out of all the eyeliners out there this one surprisingly is my favourite. This is because the applicator/brush is hard and pointy which make application so easy and accurate. Personally I hate a soft eyeliner brush. It lasts me very long even though I wear it every single day and the best bit; it stays all day! No smudge, no dissolving and getting ruined. Definately one of the best products I've come across.
  • Colossal 100% black by Maybelline
Now this I regret buying. Many people all over the world use this mascara and use it as their favourite. HOWEVER I hate it! It gives me nothing, nor length nor thickness. This definately was a pointless buy.
  • Glimmerstick eye liner by AVON
This is just a plain kohl stick. The beauty if this is that it's a roll up eyeliner not a pencil so it does not hurt to apply it because its never very sharp. However it is not blunt either. It is very smooth and has great results. One of my favourite products. I use this on my waterline.

  • Sun shimmer bronzer by Rimmel London
Just an ordinary bronzer, it works well however just a little bit is a lot!
  • Hollister lipgloss
Haha yes hollister! This is one of the best lipglosses ever in my opinion, ok that was an exaggaration but it's really good for everyday use. It comes in all these funky colours like the one I have is blue! Oh but it comes out clear. But the main thing about this amazing lipgloss is that it tastes so lush! It's really sweet and when you have it on you can't resist but taste it!


  • Instant radiance Brush foundation by No7
This is a really thick coverage foundation and stays on a very long time. It gives a nice radiant look to your face however it is nothing special.

  • Boing Benefit concealer
This is a good concealer however it did not blow me away! It is just as good as any concealer and is not very good with matching more yellow based skin tones!

Newbie!

Hey!
So as you can see I'm a total newbie and I'm just getting sorted. So for now my layout will be very simple until I can figure out how to do links, new pages and stuff. To find out what my blog is going to about look at the about me box and if your interested about my blog please follow. So first off I think I should do a review about a few products and I'd also like to do something about products I love and hate because those are generally helpful. Do tell me however you can. Haha!

Thank you!
