The Beauty blogger tag

(Thought this collage including some of the pictures from previous ''Beauty'' blog posts would be appropriate for this tag)

 

Hello everyone! Today is a bit of a different blog post as it is a tag post!.I have never been tagged before so thought this would be a fun little tag too do as its a bit different to the normal review and also helps you to know a little more about me!.I was tagged by http://pollywallyblog.blogspot.co.uk/ so make sure you check out her lovely blog too!.

 

LETS GET GOING

 

  1-Is your hair naturally curly or straight? 

  My hair Is naturally wavy like natural beach waves so yeah I guess we could class it as ''curly''.

        2- Do you dye it yourself or go to the salon?

I get my blonde Ombre done at the salon about once every 6 months.

 

         3- Do you wear the same style every day or change it?

     I always wear my hair down straight or naturally curly unless I have to put it up for work or cooking.

     4- Do you do your own manicure/pedicure or at a salon?

I cant have my nails painted for work so I can never get them done at a salon as I would just have to take them off within days so I usually just paint my nails myself so its easy too take off quickly.

       5- How often do you change your nail polish?

I have a different colour nail polish on each week.

         6- Do you polish your toe nails in the winter or just in the summer?

I actually paint my toe nails quite a lot regardless of what season it is as I hate wearing socks and we cant wear shoes in my house so I like to have pretty coloured toe nails.

        7- How long does it take to do your makeup?

  On a normal day I spend about 10-15 minutes but if I want to make a special effort like if I was going to a concert or out for a meal I would probably spend 30 minutes properly doing all of my makeup in as much detail as I could.

        8- What do you do first? Face or eyes?

  I do my face makeup first but apply my concealer under my eyes after doing my eye makeup.

        9- Do you collect makeup or just buy what you need?

I am a massive sucker when it comes to buying makeup and have drawers and drawers full I just cant help myself.So yeah going back to the question I have a collection so I have all of the makeup I need in there haha.

   10-  How often do you wear false lashes?

I have never worm false lashes as I am just so impatient so just wouldn't spend a long time trying to put them on perfectly.If there are any false lashes that are easy and quick to put on please leave the name in the comments!. 

    11- Do you wear a full face of make-up everyday?

Well I wear makeup every single day unless im not going out at all but I wear it as natural as possible most days so I guess thats not a ''full face''.

     12- Do you where makeup when you are home alone or with family?

I always wear makeup unless im just staying at home all day regardless of whether I am with my family or not.

     13- Will you leave the house without makeup?

 Never unless I know I am not going to see anyone I know or wont be out for long.

     14- How many high-end make-up products do you have?

I only really like and think that high end blushes and lipsticks are worth the money so I only have about 8 high end products at a push.

     15- Do you plan your OOTD the night before or while you are getting dressed?

I try to plan and get my clothes out the night before so that I don't have a meltdown about what to wear before college but most of the time I change my mind in the morning anyway depending on how I feel and the weather (Which varies very dramatically in England).

    16- How often do you change your handbag?

I am pretty basic when it comes to bags and just always wear a black handbag and only get a new one when my one is completely battered,bruised and out of love.

    17- What time do you wake up and go to sleep?

On college days I wake up at 7am but on weekends I wake up at 8/9ish and on weekdays go to sleep at about 10/11pm so I have enough sleep for college the next day but on weekends I usually go to sleep at about 12pm.

     18- How often or when do you work out?

 Never ever like I tried to exercise last week but didn't warm up before and it just left me acheing for days so I wont be doing that again.I have a really fast metabolism though and walk a lot so I don't really need too to be honest.

     19- Left or right handed?

I write with my right hand but hold my cutlery like a left handed person does.

     20- How tall are you?

I don't even know like probably somewhere in the middle of 5 and 6 ft? idk.

   21- Do you speak any foreign languages?

I got half a Gcse in French a few years ago if that counts? I cant even remember any French now though haha.

     22- How many pets do you have?

None I'm just not an animal person to be honest.

     23- How often are you on blogger?

Once or twice a week.

   24- Do you read comments on blogs?

I read every comment on my blog.It baffles me that i actually get people commenting because i have such a small blog but i really appretiate every single comment so reply and follow everyone who does it on my blog.

     25- Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?

No I just have really random moments when im like ''I want to go to superdrug and buy lots of new makeup'' and then thats exactly what i do.

    26- How did you come up with your blog name?

I have no clue at all but i guess it was influenced by ''Sprinkle of glitter''.

     27- What camera do you use for your photographs?

I actually just use my phones camera as its actually really good and so easy to send the photos to my laptop.

     28- Do you have a phone?

Who doesn't have a phone? I have a Samsung Galaxy mini.

     29- How often do you clean your house?

I actually clean my room every single day as I always manage to leave my whole wardrobe on the floor when getting ready for college so have to tidy it up when i get home.

     30- What's your favourite colour?

Gold i just think its so classic and classy.

    31- Do you swear?

I try not too but serious circumstances need serious words to define them sometimes;).

I shall be doing my college work (Woo fun) whilst listening to Spotify and at sometime will go to Costa with my lovely friend Kira.

Sleek 3 blushes Palette:Review and swatches

Hello everyone! So last week when I was in Superdrug I told myself that I didn't need any more makeup but then I saw this little sleek gem and caved in.I mean look how cute the packaging is alone?!.After struggling to pick which shade of  ''Blush by 3'' Palettes I wanted I decided on ''Pink lemonade'' as it has a nice range of light/medium pinks which are great for natural makeup looks and can also easily be built up to create a more dramatic cheek look.

Usually I only wear high-end blushers (My favourite being sugar bomb by Benefit) So I really was shocked by how good the quality of these blushes are considering ''Sleek'' is a drugstore/cheap makeup brand. The 1st and 3rd blush (as shown from left to right above) are powder blushes and very pigmented and give a lovely pink shimmery tone to the cheeks. The 1st powder blush is a very light pink so is perfect to wear for a natural look to make your face look healthy and glow. The 3rd blush shade is a peachy pink so looks good when blended in with a shimmery bronzer to help your face look more tanned. The middle so second blush is a cream blush and is a dark pink shade. It is a very strong colour so a little bit really does go a long way when blended properly.The cream blush dries to be very matte and is perfect for a more dramatic makeup look.

Light Summer makeup ''Base''

I love the summer as it generally means a thinner and more simple layer of makeup for me on the hot days (Which there isn't many of in England;).So I thought I would share with you the makeup I wear to give me a flawless base on hot and sweaty summer days.

I start with ''Maybelline: Dream Pure BB cream'' as it is a light BB cream which gives me a light (but even and enough) coverage. I particurly love this BB cream as its aimed for people with oily skin like me so it prevents my skin from being oily during the day (which means my makeup doesn't run down my face on hot days woo).

I then set my BB cream base with ''Natural collection pressed powder''. I love this powder as it sets my base without giving me an obviously powdery face. Also I find that even though I am naturally tanned many other powders give my face an orange tinge which is my pet hate so this powder is the perfect shade for me!.

Lastly I use ''Rimmel:Wake me up concealer''.I have this concealer in a lighter shade than my face in order to use it to highlight and brighten up the dark circles on my face. I really like this concealer as its thick enough to give me a great coverage but is very smooth and silky  when applying so doesn't look thick on the face. This concealer is great to apply under my eyes to brighten them up (as I get very dark circles naturally under my eyes).

I hope you liked this post! What have you been wearing on your face this summer?

Duty free purchases

So on my way back from Spain my flight was delayed which 'unfortunately'' meant I had to spend an hour looking around the beauty and fragrance section of duty free at the airport to use upvtime which led to these lovely purchases.

 

My buys from left to right

1)The body shop-Japanese Cherry Blossom Fragrance mist

Its a lovely sweet and light floral scent which is perfect to spray on during hot summer days for a refresh.

 

2-O.P.I-Nail lacquer in Italian Love Affair

I have been in love with O.P.I nail varnishes for a very long time now as they paint so smoothly on the nails,don't smudge and don't chip for a very long time. So I couldn't just walk past these could I? so I got a light pink varnish as I wear this colour so much.

 

3-MAC-Lipstick in capricious

I cant even tell you in words how much I am in love with this lipstick and Mac lipsticks in general. The dark pink colour suits me very well and is so suitable to wear everyday which means I get so much use out of it.Also I have found the lipsticks themselves are of a very high quality as not only the colours are nice they last a very long time on the lips so I don't have to constantly worry about re-applying it every hour or so.Also the lipsticks are very moisturising which means it glides onto my lips smoother and also leaves them feeling very soft.

 

I hope you liked seeing my little purchases, I very much enjoyed buying them! (My bank balance probably doesn't though;)

 

Have you bought any beauty/fragrance purchases whilst on holiday recently?
