Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer

Hi Guys,

So as I have just purchased this for the third time I thought it was about time to do a post on it.




Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer In Fair



Now I know this product has been raved about for quite a while now and I can see why. There are not many products that I actually bother to repurchase but this one is a different story all together.

I have quite bad dark circles which unfortunately is a hereditary thing for me. I had always struggled to find a good concealer to cover them and more importantly to keep them covered all day.

This concealer claims to last for 16 hours, now I'm not sure it lasts that long but it definitely lasts longer than most. It also covers redness and blemishes well which means it doesn't necessarily need to be used with foundation too.

It blends well and a little goes a long way. It is available in four shade fair, light, medium and deep.

It is available at Boots and is £4.19. Go check out what all the fuss it about!

Lilac & Glitter

Hi Guys,

I have really got back into doing my nails recently and I am loving all the spring colours that are currently available.

After placing a rather large ELF order I have been playing with the different nail varnishes that I purchased. Two of them being Lilac and Twinkle.


I apologise for the bad photography.

Lilac took three coats to get a good colour which was a little disappointing but three coats did produce a lovely colour and applied well to the nail. Twinkle is a clear varnish with specks of pink, blue and green glitter. It's stunning on the nail and one coat leaves a good amount of glitter. My nails went around two days before any chips or signs or wear appeared.


These nail varnishes are priced at £1.50 each and you can find them on ELF's website here

Sleek Brow Kit

Hi Guys,

Hope you all had a great weekend!

So it may seem I am a little behind on this next product but rest assured I have been aware of it for a while it has just been permanently out of stock in my local Superdrug.

The item in question is the Sleek Brow Kit which I purchased in dark.








I have always stuck to using my good old eyebrow pencil but I was looking for something with more staying power.


The Sleek Brow Kit consists of a pigmented wax which you can use to define and shape the brows with the angled brush which is provided. Also there is a powder and a blending brush to set the wax in place. This nifty little kit also contains a mirror and a mini pair of tweezers which make it perfect for using on the go.

So far I have to say I love this kit and highly recommend it. On some days I just use the wax on its own to keeps my brows in place and to add a bit of colour while the rest of the time I use the powder along side the wax too.


I purchased my kit from Superdrug and it was around £7.



Today I am.........

Hi Guys,

Today I am 30 weeks pregnant.

The baby is now approximately 18 inches long and weighs around 3.2 pounds or is the size of a head of lettuce.

This week the baby's eyesight continues to develop even though it's not very sharp just yet.



I have definitely experienced the baby having hiccups this week which was very strange. I have not had any braxton hicks that I have been aware of yet although I know they can start at pretty much any time now.

As the birth draws closer I am feeling some anxiety every so often but I am also so incredibly excited to meet our little girl.

Tomorrow we are having our 4d scan which is said to be an amazing experience.

Natural Collection Pink Cloud Blush

Hi Guys,

Hope your all having a lovely weekend.

Today's post is on a blush from the Natural Collection which I recently purchased.

I have a bit of a love hate relationship with this brand of make up. I love their mascaras but a few other things I have tried just haven't worked for me.






But I have to say I love this blush. Pink Cloud is a pretty, girly, dusky pink shade and gives just the right amount of roseyness to my cheeks. When I first got it I thought it was going to be far to bright as with my pale skin I normally go for a darker shade of pink on my cheeks. It also looks lovely with my highlighter too. I believe it is a good dupe for a particular MAC blush but I am not 100% sure which one.

You can pick it up at Boots for £1.99

No7 Vital Enlightening Highlighter Powder

Hi Guys,

Just a quick post on my current favourite make up item.




I had been looking for a highlighter for quite a while but could not find one that I really liked or that was worth paying that extra bit for.

You have probably heard about the offer that is due to end on Sunday (25th March) at Boots were you spend over £5 and you get a No7 £5 voucher.

Well I decided to spend mine on the No7 highlighter and I have to say I am so pleased I did.
I have had so many comments since I started using it, like wow you have got that pregnancy glow and I have said nope that's just good highlighter!

The packaging is quite chunky and you feel like you are buying something of good quality.
It gives a gorgeous wash of a translucent gold/pink colour that still looks natural. I have used this just underneath my brow bones and on my cheek bones with my normal blush and when the light catches it, it makes you look awake and fresh.

Absolutely love it! I got mine for £8 with the voucher but normally it's £13. You can get it here at Boots.
