NYX lavender concealer

Hey guys! Been really busy the the couple of weeks looking after my sister who has just had an operation, our parents are on holiday and we have two dogs so I haven't had a moment to blog! Luckily for me this morning I received this in the post! 

I've been looking for a light concealer that don't look orange for a while, when I came across this I was so excited to try it!

The next photos are of my skin before applying and then the areas I like to apply concealer due to redness and spots 

And then blended with a beauty blender 

This looks like quite a lot but I like to use it as a highlighter base, and I'm only using BB cream at the moment instead of foundation due to it being summer and I don't like having a heavy feeling in my skin in the heat. The lavender tones in the  products is for 'sallow skin' which means yellow tones, but I find it helps with red patchyness in my skin due to it being so pale. The converge is a good even coverage, not patch or translusent (deleting the purpose really of a concealer when it's thin) so far I am feeling good about the products, I do realis that it is very light before I put the rest of my make up on but this works to an advantage. After this I continue the rest of my make up with these products (just quick simple make up as in not going out today) 

So I have my BB cream in light/medium, pro base translucent power by MUA, bronzer my Rimmel, blush by MAC but I can't remember what shade sorry, highlighter in golden by Makeup Revolution, Anastasia Beverlyhills dipbrow  pomade in medium brown, maybeline colour 24 in Taupe, L'Oreal volume million lashes mascara, urban decay 24hr pencil in Stag, Mac lipstick in Faux and a Rimmel eye pencil in dark brown to line my lips and this is the outcome!

Please ignore my eyebrows as they has due a thread ! But in quite happy with this concealer, considering I only have BB cream (basically a tinted moisturiser so diary thin) on top and a translucency powder it has a good converge and you can't see I clearly have concealer in which my last ones did look like when I put them on. I think I will buy the green version on the concealer as that one is spacificly for redness, both however are supposedly very good to lighten your other concealer if you have bought it in a shade to dark! 

Lush lipstick Reveiw !

So for my birthday my boyfriend got my a little lipstick from lush!

Charm is a very light bubble gum shade of pink, very sweet and girly looking which is quite differnt to my normal look of browns and purple toned lipstick. I don't tend to go for such light pinks due to having a very pale scottish skin tone

This is how the product looks on my lips, because it's such a light shade it's quite translusent. The product has quite an oily base so i don't like building this up because I feel like it just slides of, so insted I've been using it to tone down darker lipsticks to make the more skintones/nude.

Here is an example;

This is just an MUA velvet lipstick on my lips

And here is it with Charm on top;

The good thing about the oil base means it blends in well with the velvet lipsticks by MUA, these lipsticks don't always take well to other products due to them being so matte and drying but the oil works well with them.

So although this shade on its own doesn't work to well On my lips, I love using it as a way to tone down other shades! And it keeps my lips moist when using matte lipsticks! 

It was a good buy from the boyfriend this time!

Easy way to instantly take tan off!

So my sister (Happy Go Hols) told me that using Clearasil Daily Clear pads is a really easy and quick way to get tan off, so I though I'd test this out and show you the results:)

I have quite sensitive skin, I have a thing that is like hive (could be hives I couldn't really understand my Dr aha) so simple scrubing leaves read marks for ageys especially in areas like my arms and chest so It normally takes me a good few scrubs to properly get tan off.

So here is the product I am testing, my sister bought this out the 99P shop! We have one near buy that has really well known good quality products in it all for 99P! 

These pads are extreamly moist and smell so fresh and fruity!

Here is my arm before with very bad patchy tan!

Horrible I know! So I used one pad and  with in a Minute of wiping my arm, this was the result!

This is an amazing reat! My skin was slightly red in the elbow end because the pads exfoliate but that quickly went away. The moistness is what mainly help remove the tan, this is what's pad looked it after cleaning my arms 

It looks like I'm really dirty but I sware I'm not aha! Over all I think this is brilliant! this is what I wi use from now one of remove patchy tan, best idea I've came across so far , thanks sis!

  

Totalement Bleuets Face Mask Reveiw

This week I needed my skin to be extra nice as I had an event and dinner to go to so I thought I would try this face mask outits French and you can get these from most shops like superdrug or supermarkets that sell skincare items.  So this is how the mask looked when o out it on, kinda similar to the photo shown 

It recommended 5-10 mins for this mask, I expected it to either go hard or become a peel off texture however it stayed slightly moistest. By 5 mins I was having to wash it off because o could feel my face becoming sensitive, as I was washing my face I noticed red sports had appeared on my forehead and my nose which is u normal for my nose. These spots where also really sore. I followed up this by using facial to not and my lush moisturiser (see previous post for this Reveiw)

In future I won't be using this product as my skin it just to sensitive for it.😔 

Lush Celestial Facial Moisturiser

So right now I'm having a break from writing assignments and I though I'd spend it wisely by reviewing my moisturiser☺️

I got this as a present for my birthday recently, as everybody know I LOVE lush! 

It's your typical lush packaging, this moisturiser is for sensitive skin and contains; vanilla water, almond oil, almond milk, glycierine, fair trade organic cocoa butter, fresh dove orchid extract, cetearyl alcohol, stearic acid and anise alcohol. 

So you can see it s typical white thick cream and as you can guess it smells like almonds. The texture of this is like a very light scrub that smooths in to your skin.

Although this is more sensitive skin I like to only put a small amount of as it is quite heavy but it spreads very well. The overall  result of this is that it works really well, my skin feels nice and fresh after using this and doesn't break out :) 

I love hats!

I got a beauty of a fedora hat from H&M yesterday and I'm in love 😍

I love a hat because it make my extreamly thick and only stays stright for 10 mins hair look soooo much better 

I can't wait for the spring/summer time (which lasts about 2 minutes in Scotland)  when it's less windy to wear this without having to hold on to it ☺️ I also love black hats because they go with everything and I wear black 99% of the time! 

Day light results for lipstick concealer!

Carrying on from my post last night here is my day light photos of lipstick concealer!

Still pretty happy with the results. I was worried at first I might end up looking like I've been punched going to uni, but my eyes are looking pretty clear! 

Lipstick concealer!!

Ok, ok! I've been wanting to try this for a while and after watching grav3yardgirl on YouTube I decided to try it for myself! 

I an using L'Oreal Colour Riche, Shade 373 which is magnetic coral.

So the way I've seen girls doing it is by applying lipstick under your eye as if it is a concealer( actual concealer is applied later) and it should look like this

I should also point out, my flash didn't go off its night time and I've had a very long day in the pouring rain so my completion is horendouse😔 so let's just ignore that and focus on the lipstick! I have blended it around the edges just because I do this with concealer normally.

This is how it looks with my concealer, foundation and a little bit of transparent power over.

 

Im so surprised with the results! As someone who ALWAYS had huge dark circles under my eyes, this has worked so well! I am going to start using this in my make up routine from now on and I will post a follow up photo of it in the day light:) 

 

What to buy with my Mac gift card ?!

I'm really glad me and

My sister are at an age where we can buy each other amazing gifts. So now I'm buzzing to spend my gift card! The only mac product I have is blusher (my sister also bought me this at Christmas) I've never heard much about specific Mac products just the usual hype from everyone about there kylie Jenner lipsticks. However student loans and presents are soon going to make my Mac collection expand in the near future. First on the list is foundation and lip liner 😍.

Limecrime Velvetines!

Ok, so many people will have heard of Limecrime and their velvetine lipsticks.

 Being an american brand I've held off buying due to shipping prices😓. For my birthday however I got my very own limecrime velvetine in cashmer, and I can not tell you how excited I was for it!

Britain has a dupe by Makeup Revolution for this product, I hated it. It dried and flaked off and I couldn't blend a lipliner with it. I was a little scared that this product would be similar and just be a waste of money. But seconds after the first use I could tell it was a winner!

Limecrime is long lasting, blendable with other products and feels amazing on. I highly recomend to everyone to get at least one lipstick, you'll be hooked straight away!😍

So here is my intro..

Hi!, As you can guess I'm Rebecca. As of yesterday I'm 21, and I'm student Social Worker at University, in Glasgow ;D.
