♡ liquid lipsticks ♡

Liquid lipsticks are one of the biggest trends of 2016; every brand is releasing them and everyone is buying them! The drugstore and high street have some rather amazing yet very similar ones, I just want to buy them all.



Most liquid lipsticks have very different formulas, some drying, some slightly tacky or some just right but all in all they all amazing. I haven't found a liquid lipstick yet that I wouldn't wear because of the formula, I think a lot of brands have mastered that pretty well, just like they have mastered the 'staying power'

Liquid lipsticks are essentially quite long-lasting; some you can eat in and will last all day (Kylie lip kit) and some just don't last that long. Most liquid lipsticks do last well throughout the day generally and I forget they are there a lot of the time because they feel so light.

The feeling of every liquid lipstick depend on the formula a lot, some feeling slightly sticking and uncomfortable at first but they just need to be on for awhile and after that; you would forget they're there! They can dry your lips out but they last so that's a plus??

All in all liquid lipsticks are good and I would recommend buying them but first swatch because they appear different on different skin tones and read up on them to make sure your 100% sure on everything about it because they can be so different, little things like the applicators can change your mind but there are lots out there now to choose from and the ones I've tried are all amazing!

So I hope you guys enjoyed this little round up full review thing I've done, to be honest, it's very different but I thought I would try it!

Hey, guys! So we're at that mid-August time of summer where most people are jetting off on holiday and I am one of those people this year and I'm so excited!

 One of my main worries is packing. I never know if I have everything, have I overpacked? Have I under packed? so I always end up watching a lot of videos, read a lot of blog posts and now I used my own experience and gathered up some of my holiday essentials!!


 So to start off with one thing you ALWAYS need when it's hot is sun cream! Sun cream is a must to stop you from burning and to help you tan and protect your skin. As well as for your body, getting some form of SPF for your face always works! a primer, a face sun cream with SPF could make the world if a difference to your face!


Obviously, whenever you're somewhere sunny you NEED sunglasses! These protect your eyes from the sun and make you able to see as well as helping prevent wrinkles even from a young age! Sunglasses can make an outfit look 10x better but they have to suit your face or they can look bad. I have recently found my love for sunglasses and these have my heart! (These are on eBay and are a cheaper version of high-end glasses but are none the less amazing!)


As I am quite a book nerd, and I love reading, so on holiday I love sitting beside the pool or on the beach with a good book. It really is one of the best ways to spend a day because it's so relaxing and calming. Summery books are my favourite to read and I'm taking these books with me as their 2 of my favourites to read.


 As most people now I'm always on my phone, Away or not I'm truly addicted and I wouldn't be able to do go away without my phone and iPad, I recently got a new iPad and I love it so much! My phone is always with me, so these are things that MUST come on holiday with me!!


If you have electronics, you nee a charger don't you? I find my battery drains so quickly so I always need a portable charger! It has saved me so many times and I literally don't leave the house without it because you never know, especially when you're away from a plug it's better to be safe.


 Even if I don't use it I love knowing I have makeup with me when I'm away. I feel lost if I don't have it with me and from past experience I've realised you won't want to wear a lot of makeup in warm weather but one key product is a bronzer. My face doesn't tan and my body barely does, so a bronzer is always an easy way to give an even or even tan effect and I feel like you need this with you! (I might go more into makeup for when abroad in another blog post if you guys want me to)


Finally from past trips and YouTube videos I've gathered together my essentials kit. It's a small pouch where I keep girly things that I could always need on holiday and I bring it most places with me. It has everything you could possibly need and there are definitely things I will add to it when I'm away! I always have in this kit - Lipbalm (SPF One), Nail file ,mini wipes pack , hand sanitizer, hand cream , mini moisturiser, mini perfume, makeup wipes, gum, mirror, pen, headphones and plasters (I may be missing a few things but the basics are covered!)


So I hope you guys have enjoyed my holiday essentials and they have helped you packing, let me know some of your essentials that're you need because everyone has different things!

♡ morning and night skincare routine ♡

Hey, guys! So today I'm going to talk about my morning and night skincare routine! My routine hasn't changed in maybe a year or so but has just got altered and added to fit my skin at the time and I love it so much!
Skincare is such a key part of my day because you only get one skin and you should look after it as much as you can! I do everything I can for my skin and it definitely appreciates it, as i am young i take as goods care of my skin that i can!

So for my night time, skincare always start off using the holy grail Liz Earle hot cloth cleanse and polish! My auntie got me this for my 10th birthday and i have used it since. I use it daily to take off my makeup and cleanse my skin and i love it so much!! I think my skin is very combination skin so it is as oily as it is dry so this helps both problems and helps calm down and combat any breakouts I get.

Once I've washed that off I use Garnier micellar water! Again this is something everyone raves about but it is such a good product and just gives my skin the extra care it needs once my makeup is off and aswell gets red of any extra makeup sat on my skin, it always keeps my skin hydrated and refreshed whist toning it perfectly!


Finally, I use my yes to tomatoes combination skin daily balancing moisturiser and this has done my skin wonders. It agrees with my skin so much more the Liz moisturiser ever did and is the reason my skin is so much clearer now! It helps keep it hydrated and moisturised and I love using it!


so onto my morning routine, my routine on a morning is slightly different to on a night so, on a morning, Instead of using my cleanse and polish I use the balance me pure skin face wash just to cleanse my skin and refresh it! Since this is mostly natural it has helped my skin breathe but washed it and I will defiantly use this a lot more.


Some mornings too, depending on if I have many breakouts I will use the Neutrogena visibly clear  pink grapefruit facial wash. This is honestly amazing! It refreshes and definitely helps clear breakouts and just works for me I do love it a lot, this product has saved my skin so many times!


So this is my skincare routines! They are quite similar and are what I've stuck to for a long time but there is also A few extra things I do on the sides to benefit my skin!

So around every 4 days, I use the Liz Earle gentle face exfoliator. It really does get rid of and dry skin on my face and buffs away impurities. I love the feeling of it on my skin because it's so soft and amazing. Liz Earle is so good for my skin, I use and have used so many of their products in the past, the exfoliater is so gentle and amazing!!

I always use a Facemask once and week atleast and For them I don't use certain ones But I've started using sanctuary spa cleanse 5 minute thermal detox mask. I've only been using it 2 weeks so I can't really comment on it. It feels amazing on my skin but I haven't noticed anything really, only time will tell on this one! It feels amazing on my skin and makes it feel nice and soft after use!


Finally, on a night I apply savlon antiseptic cream onto my spots. I use it over sudacream because it doesn't dry my skin out and as well it keeps my spots from infection. it just gradually gets rid of any spots or blemishes on my face and I use most nights, as well it softens my skin.


So this is my skincare routine! I recommend all of these products to anyone. They all work for me and my skin but may not work for your skin.
