Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Tint Review & Swatches!

05:05 0 Comments

You may have seen that I have recently posted a video of a first impression review on the Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Tint, and noticed that I had 3 different colours and promised to do swatches. So here they are!
     You may have seen that these lip tints have been out for sometime, and I've always wanted to try a lip tint. Especially when it states that it's long lasting and transfer proof! There are 6 colours in the collection - I'm not sure if they keep changing colours and replacing them with new ones, but every website I've looked on, seems to have different colours! They Retail for £5.99 and they offer 2 steps on how to apply this.
   Step 1 - Apply the colour onto lips and wait to dry.
Step 2 - Once colour has dried, apply the balm for all over moisture.

The colours which I have, are Faithful Rose, Stay Very Berry & Carry On Cherry. I have also included some swatches on my arm underneath.


 Swatches
(R-L) Stay Very Berry, Carry On Cherry, Faithful Rose
Packaging
(L-R) Stay Very Berry, Carry On Cherry, Faithful Rose
Review
You will see from the packaging that it is quite true to colour, other than Carry On Cherry. This seems to come out slightly more brown on the swatch, compared to the packaging. Also, when I tried to apply the colour on the Carry On Cherry, the tip of the felt tip was incredibly dry, so had to use the side of the pen to line my lips, which is pretty tricky.
     The balm was quite solid when I first used it, so was quite hard to put on the balm. But after a few strokes, the balm warmed up, and went on like any normal lip balm. A great thing with the balm, was that it definitely moisturised my lips and made them feel smooth. Even just using the lip balm on its own would be a great idea!
     I noticed that when applying the lip tint to my lips, it didn't flow as well as I would have hoped. There were many gaps in the colour, and didn't look all that great. It seemed to look a lot better once the balm was on, but still looked very gappy. Once the colour is applied, it is very bright and looks very well done from far away, and on camera!
     I like the way that both lids have to make a 'click' sound to know when they are on properly and securely. This is great for you to pop in your bag, because you know that the colour and the balm won't go everywhere and make a mess. I also think that having a double ended pen is great, as this way you have 2 products in 1, and it saves room in your makeup bag.

My Holy Grail Face Cream!

12:01 0 Comments
As I've mentioned in a few of my blog posts and my videos, my skin type is very annoying a combination of different things.
     For instance, my skin is dry, sensitive and acne prone. And I know there are a lot of people out there who suffer from dry skin, sensitive skin or acne - I just happen to be all 3! So you can only imagine how hard it is for me to find products for my skin that don't actually irritate any of the problems I have. I finally managed to find my Holy Grail that actually worked wonders on my crazy skin!
    
 One of the biggest and hardest products I've had to find to help out my skin, is face cream. I've experienced rashes, bright red skin, and more and more breakouts that I had before I started using the product.

 I've tried many different face creams for quite a few years, to try to find one to match my skin. Ever since I can remember, I have had very dry patches over my face, that no cream seemed to get rid of them. I had medium sized dry patches on each cheek, and my nose was very dry - up to the point where my nose would be flaky and red on most days, so I needed to find a great moisturiser!
     I had tried Nivea cream for my face, and even though its a very rich moisturising cream, it still didn't manage to shift my dry patches. I would put it on over night, and whilst it was on, I had no dry patches, but as soon as I woke up the next morning, my dry patches were back, and hadn't improved. I also tried Aquaeous cream, which my mum said would work wonders, as it was a deep moisturiser. I put this all over my face, and it became itchy as I slept, and would not rub in! It did moisturise my dry patches a little, but they were still quite bad.

     I even tried several foundations specifically for dry skin, to help moisturise as well as cover. this didn't turn out too good for my acne. None had the coverage I needed, and looked very light coverage (even though one said medium/full coverage), so it didn't cover up my acne or help my dry patches. In fact, these foundations actually flared my acne even more. I don't know whether it's the oil or the moisturisers they put in these foundations, but none agreed with dry, sensitive, acne prone my skin. so I felt like there was nothing that would actually work on my face.
   
 That was until I saw that there was a new line of products which came out last year, called Garnier Moisture Match.
     They have 5 different creams for each different skin type - Normal Skin, Normal/Dry Skin, Dull Skin, Combination/Oily Skin, and Dry/Very Dry Skin. I thought, as they have made different moisturisers for specific skin types, this would be great for me! It also helped that this product was on an 'introductory offer' in basically ever store I went to, so they worked out to be roughly £2.50.
     I knew that I definitely needed the tube that was Dry/Very Skin if I wanted this to work, so picked up the box, and read the back to make sure there would be no irritations. A great thing with this line of products, is that they are all colour coded for a different skin type. The Dry/Very Dry was coloured Pink.
     The box said:
  • Texture Created with nourishing but ultra-light oils, its texture is rich but non-greasy. This moisturiser gives you the comfort you need in a flash, without feeling heavy on your skin.
  • Ingredients Enriched with Camellia oil and Mannose
  • Benefits It works straight away, so your skin’s smiling with comfort in no time. The formula helps leave your skin feeling hydrated for up to 24 hours.
  • NON-GREASY
  • EASILY ABSORBED
  • SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
Looking at those final 3 points on the front of the box, the product was sold to me. A non greasy formula means that there's no harsh oils that would irritate my acne and flare up more acne (like other creams). Easily Absorbed showed me that I would not be waiting around a long time for the cream to absorb into my skin, so would be quick for me to do my make-up. And Suitable for sensitive skin meant that there was a very minute chance that I would develop an irritation from the product.

So the first morning I put on this product, I noticed that the cream was pretty thick, but had an amazing fragrance of Rose. It wasn't over powering, it was ever so slight, but very pleasant. As soon as I applied this, I noticed I would not need a lot, and managed to put the size of 2 peas on my finger, and it rubbed all the way into my neck and all over my face, with some spare to do my hands too! it did not feel too heavy on my skin, and absorbed within 2-3 minutes, which was amazing! I also felt absolutely NO irritation whilst I was rubbing in the cream.
     Throughout the day, I still had absolutely no problems with this product, plus my foundation didn't budge at all!
     That night when I took my makeup off, my dry patches hadn't completely gone, but there was a slight improvement. There was no irritation, and I didn't feel any extra acne popping up over my face.

After a week, I really noticed a difference in my skin. My dry patches on my nose had fully healed up and my cheeks were finally normal, and my dry nose was a lot better than it was before. It didn't feel as dry, and noticed that my nose wasn't flaking like it had been for over a year previously.
     After 2 weeks, the dryness on my nose was completely gone. There were absolutely no dry patches at all on my face and neck, and they felt greatly moisturised. My acne didn't get any worse, and it still hasn't to this day.
     Now,  my skin is so much better and so much nicer than I could have imagined. I have absolutely no dry patches anywhere on my face or neck, my acne hasn't got any worse (I still get the odd spot and a simple moisturiser wont completely get rid of acne). The best thing of all? I no longer have dry skin. This moisturiser has made me have normal skin, and it feels a lot smoother and healthier than I could ever imagine. I'm in love with this product!

Garnier Moisture Match, you are my Holy Grail Face Cream and I love the wonders you have done for my skin!

Hope you enjoyed this post,

I like to switch up certain products in my make-up bag every now and again. Maybe some I like at the beginning, and then am not fond of, or some I like to repurchase over an over again!
    I have a annoying skin type, and can only find a few specific face products which actually work on my skin and don't irritate me. My skin is sensitive, and dry-combination, plus I suffer with acne. I know that there are a lot of people who have similar skin to me, and want to know products that won't irritate themselves, and also some people would just like to know what I use. so I decided to create a video showing the products which I keep in my lovely little panda bear make-up bag.

Taylor Swift Make-up Tutorial

10:03 0 Comments

I've been huge fan of make-up for a very long time, and have been doing a few make-up tutorials on YouTube. I like to experiment with different shade, and palettes, so I know what is a great look before I did a tutorial.
     I love Taylor Swift's makeup, and she always looks flawless, but looks as though she does minimal effort , which I think is great! I decided to try out some products that I've either had for a long time, or new products, and incorporate that into a new makeup tutorial. I used this tutorial to my advantage because I am fair skinned, and so is she, so knew I had an advantage and it would more or less suit my skin tone.
     All of the products that I used are my own and have worked amazingly for my skin, and here are the products and brushes I used to create this look:

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in Light Porcelain
Rimmel Clean Finish Foundation in Ivory
Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown
Dainty Doll Eyeshadow Base
MUA Undressed Palette
MUA Undress Me Too Palette
Rimmel Soft Kohl Eyeliner in Black
Maybelline 24hour Gel Eyeliner in Blackest Black
Maybelline Big Eyes The Falsies Waterproof Mascara in Black
Benefit Boiing Concealer in 01
Rimmel Sun Shimmer in Light Matte
Soap and Glory Love At First Blush
Kelly Brook Lip Crayon in Red
MUA Matte Lipstick in Scarlett Siren
Fearne Cotton Lipgloss in Red

Brushes used:
Real Techniques Buffing Brush
Real Techniques Contour Brush
Real Techniques Detailing Brush
Fearne Cotton Double Ended Brushes


I feel as though I pulled off the look very well, and captured her technique greatly. Have a look at the video, and see if you want to have a go!

Back From Florida & New Video!

05:02 0 Comments
Hey guys,
So as you may know, I've been on holiday to Florida for just over 2 weeks at the end of February, which is why my account was a little inactive and I didn't upload for the whole time I was in Florida. I'm very sorry about this, mainly it was to do with the Wi-Fi in the villa I was staying at, which wasn't good at all and I couldn't watch videos, upload videos or reply to your comments. But now that I'm back, I've finally had chance to do all of that.
     Yesterday, I managed to upload a new video, which shows all of the items which I bought on my holiday (well the things I haven't used up anyway). I've also finally managed to reply to all of your comments also. I didn't realise I had so many comments within my 2 weeks away, and I'm so happy for all of the positive comments you've given me! Thank you all so much!
     Because of me being away, I also haven't managed to upload new First Impressions Friday videos as well, which I promised I would do every Friday. but I can promise that I have a new F.I.F to come this Friday coming. so keep your eyes peeled for that! and thank you for being so patient with me! :)

Hope you enjoy the video and make sure that you subscribe to my channel here!

New Hair Extension Video Segments!

07:42 0 Comments
So, as you all may know from my YouTube channel, I am obsessed with hair extensions, and have tried many different techniques. I've finally managed to find a technique that I am completely and fully happy with, and that is Nano Ring Hair Extensions. I know a lot about these, and I do them myself in my hair, so thought I'd share everything with you that I do and know. That is why I've decided to do a new 3 part segment on my channel about Nano Rings!
     The first video, is going to be about How To Dye the Nano Ring Extensions, if they are slightly wrong, or completely wrong. Now, I'm not saying that I know everything and that I'm a professional, because I don't and I'm not, this is just the way that I do them myself and they work out great! In this video, I show you the technique on what I do, and I show you all products that I use. (Below is this video).
     The second video is How To Install Nano Ring Hair Extensions. A lot of you have asked me about how to install these extensions, so thought I would do a video showing you the technique and the process of myself doing these on my own hair. I have done a previous brief video on how to install Micro ring & Micro loop extensions so you can check that out if you like below.
     The third video is going to be How To Care For Nano Ring Extensions. This is going to be all of the products I use, all of the hints and tips I have and how to wash them without them falling out or being ripped out.
This is my favourite type of extension (and I've tried a lot!) so tried to find even more information than I already knew so you guys can get the best possible extensions and tips that you can get!

I hope you enjoy these videos and let me know your feedback.

Valentine's day!

09:39 0 Comments
A lot of you are absolutely crazy about Valentine's Day, and some are stuck with an idea on their makeup.
     I thought I'd take this opportunity to make my own tutorial for this special day. I decided to use some new products that I haven't used before, so I was quite scared because I didn't know how it would turn out. Also, with tutorials, I don't try them out beforehand, so whatever's in the video, is literally my first take on doing this make-up look.
     I wanted to keep the theme colours (reds and pinks), but thought that I wanted a quite strong eye colour and lip colour, but not make it go too crazy! this is why I decided to just sticks with pinks. I did a beautiful multi tonal pink eye, with the drama of the flicked eyeliner and false lashes, but then kept the colour for the lips to a cute, baby pink. This way, you're attracted to both the eyes and the lips, but one doesn't take over the other.
     I was a bit worried about using my bright pink Dainty Doll eye shadow, as it was fluorescent pink and knew that if you put a light, neutral shade over the top, it would make a beautiful coloured pink for the eyes. (plus the lighter shade had shimmer, so made it look beautiful).
