Honey Brown
Monday, 28 October 2013
So yesterday I uploaded the picture below on instagram and was overwhelmed by the lovely comments from friends and followers. Some people wanted to know what products I used etc so I'll list them below for any of you that are interested.
Face
Concealer - ELF in (spice)
I mixed Maybelline dream satin liquid (#060 caramel) and L'oreal's True match foundation.
To set my makeup and give it that matte finish I used Rimmel London's stay matte long lasting pressed powder (#006 Warm Beige)
To contour I used Sleeks face form contouring and blush palette in (#374 medium)
Eyes
Mascara - I used Rimmel London's retro glam scandal eyes. I'm so happy I've given this a shot as I have always used Maybelline mascaras ever since secondary school (I hate change).
I also used MesmerEyez contacts in Honey Brown.
Used Barry M jumbo eyeshadow pencil for eye corners
Eyebrows
My favourite pencil I've been using for about 6 years is Rimmels Professional eyebrow pencil in (#004 dark brown)
I can never get away with having really dark eyebrows I simply look like a drag queen (no offence to those out there).
I also used Sleeks Brow kit in (#817 light)
If you don't already have this kit - INVEST!! It comes with a block of brow powder, brow wax, mini tweezers and brushes to apply the blocks.
Lips
Kiko smart lipstick in (#923) Read my review on this here
Also used a darker lip liner to make lips pop.
Hair
I used Premium Now Hair extensions made into clips ins in colour (#4/27STK)
I've had these for about 7 months now no problems at all.
Also the camera I used for these pictures is my SONY NEX-5 digital SLR.
SOOOO Much info I know haha hope you enjoyed reading this!
Mini Fashion & Beauty Haul
Tuesday, 22 October 2013
Hi guys -
A really quick post today on my mini haul pictured below.
I've been wanting to try a new shampoo & conditioner for a while now so thought I'd give the Garnier Fructis a go since I haven't used these products in years!
The dove soap is my absolute fave - I no longer use shower gel because of this product! If you haven't tried it already you need to, it has shea butter in and smells lovely.
On the left is a midi skirt from internacionale (love the design) and some junk jewellery from there too!
Skirt - £14.99 Bracelet - £2.99 Earrings - 3.99 Shampoo & Conditioner - £1 each Dove soap - £1 |
Nail varnish - free polish in Novembers company mag |
October You Beauty Discovery Box - Handbag Heroes
Saturday, 19 October 2013
I've really wanted to get back into beauty box subscriptions, but could not justify paying nearly £13.00 each month for products I'd probably use once and throw away.
Having done some research I found the YOU Beauty Discovery Box at only £6.95 including p&p.
YBD gives you the choice of about 8 products to choose from (not a lot I know) - a healthy snack, an accessory, and a magazine.
I did not receive the magazine for some strange reason, I'm hoping this is down to low stock or something (no biggie).
Anyway the products I chose were:
Tangle Teezer - compact styler RRP £12.25
Crabtree & Evelyn - gardeners hand therapy 25g (Limited Edition) RRP £5.00
The Tangle Teezer is something I've actually had my eyes on for a whole year, but never got round to ordering it... so when I saw the brush as an option for this particular box I was just like YUP I have to get it.
With the hand therapy - as winter is fast approaching I am in need of some hand cream for when I'm out and about. I've actually seen the Crabtree & Evelyn products in M&S so thought it would be a good try.
See... I can justify my reasons for having this months beauty box, I wanted the brush and needed the cream! haha.
Oh and the lovely people at YBD added this gorgeous nakd snack bar! I usually hate healthy bars because I find them boring in taste, but not this one! The berry delight bar is gluten, wheat and dairy free containing:
- 49% dates
- 31% cashews
- 17% raisins
- 3% Raspberries
Apparently this bar is one of your five a day. Woo!
Will you be joining the You Beauty Discovery Box?
What other boxes would you recommend?
Comment below!
As you may know from following me on twitter or instagram, I am the complete food freak.. I love cooking even if it isn't so healthy (I'm speaking about those cupackes below).
& If you've watched my smoothie vid - you'll probably understand that I am a pro at making them (really I'm just addicted to them). :P
Well....
I hope your mouth doesn't water looking at these pictures.
P.s
If you're interested to know of any recipes I've used for anything shown above please do let me know!
Canaan - Mud Mask Review
Sunday, 13 October 2013
Hello readers!
On the blog I bring you the lovely Canaan mud mask.
I've had this product for a while but have not reviewed it because I felt like I needed to give it some time.
Today I felt like my face needed uplifting - something a little more than makeup, so before popping into the shower.. I used the Canaan applicator to apply the product all over my face, I then left the mask on for about 3 minutes and quickly washed it off.
Once I had washed the mask off my face I was so shocked at how soft the product had left my skin - (yes I have used this product before but I do not remember my skin being this soft).
Soft a great word to describe how my skin felt but moisturised too, I didn't even need to moisturise my skin after because it was so smooth.
ANYWAY, I said to myself I'd have to make this a part of a weekend routine - wash away all those weekday stresses and all.
Can I just say this product is produced in Israel - hence the 'dead sea' text on the front of the package. The first ingredient mentioned is 'dead sea natural black mud' how cool?
Bought for £4.99 for a 50ml retails online for about £18.00
'Dead Sea mineral mud is renowned over the world as a natural agent that revives the skin renewal, encourages its moisturising capabilities and renews its overall feel and appearance.'
'As you wash away the mud, your face will awaken to a new dawn of velvety softness.'
How lovely, they included an applicator and little booklet with other products in and the description.

Student lock in event - Northampton
Monday, 7 October 2013
I attended the student lock in event last Wednesday in Northampton as you can see below!
If you know Northampton you'll know that its a complete utter waste of time shopping there (seriously), so I really don't know why I bothered waiting in this queue.
For a student event - It was not great I mean some shops were doing ok discounts but I think there could have been so much more going on - perhaps because the centre is so small and there isn't a great deal of shops.
In terms of freebies - you could not escape all these pizza hut vouchers (not so great for those of us trying to lead a healthy lifestyle haha)..
However I did receive a beautiful gift from H.Samuel (thanks guys).
Pictures of my OOTD are attached below - didn't take many pictures unfortunately!

Lush Cosmetics
Sunday, 6 October 2013
I always come across these lush cosmetics reviews and think why have I not yet reviewed these yet?
I gathered it was probably because they are so pretty and glittery I really didn't want to spoil them! haaha
No but seriously, I have not yet used any of these products below as you can see and really need to make use of them!
I still have the box of these beauties but don't really know what these products are called because there were so many more items bundled together with these.
I really have no idea as to what I'm supposed to do with number 2 & 4 but numbers 1 & 3 I'll just pop in the bath and let it unravel from there!
Can I just say how amazing an Iphone camera can be when you've forgotten your own at home!

Are these items above any good? let me know what you think![]() |

I have put together this cheap ebay finds post for those who are thinking pink this month and would like to show support to the many sufferers of cancer... I hope I've worded this correctly!].
