Avon Haul

My mum has been getting the Avon for so many years now, and it's one of them things where I only really look through the book if I'm a little bored, and I never really get anything, every now and then I get the odd thing and recently decided to pick up some bits. So I have lots of pics to show you and I'll tell you what I got. 
The main reason I picked up the book this time round was because I needed something for my nails, they have always been super thin and lately my hands are in water quite a lot and they have started to peel and split, so I found this peeling and brittleness solver, I have used this once so far and it dries like a sheet of plastic so it became a habit to peel it off, so I am going to try it again but this time leave it alone ha ha, I picked this up for £2.50

As I was in the nail section it was only natural that I looked for a nail color, I can't seem to go anywhere lately without picking up a nail polish ha ha, obsessed much, I found this lovely nude color, from Nail pro+ in 'Naked Truth' and this was £3.00 ..... This will be getting tried and tested and I can't wait ^_^

When I was on the same page I noticed this gold glitter color, and it looked really nice and I would wear it maybe over a statement color on my ring finger maybe, I will def be trying this one out soon too ..... This was also £3.00 

 I have never used a lip crayon before so I picked one out on a whim and the one I picked out is .... Irresistibly sexy sultry lip pencil ..... wow that's a long name for a lip pencil ha ha, I am all for nudes so I picked out 'Naturally Naked' maybe next time I am going out for the day and getting food I will wear this and I can do a review / first impressions ..... This cost me £3.50 which is fine if I don't like it and never use it again, but time will tell.
I thought I best pick up a lipstick in case the lip pencil went all wrong and so I wouldn't be upset 'ha ha' *wink wink* I am getting almost the same with lipsticks as I am with nail polishes, and blusher isn't far behind either ha, so I went for the new Ultra Color Absolute Lipstick .... I got mine in 'Tea Rose' which is a lovely pink-y brown shade just a bit more color than a nude. This was £5.00 which I think is amazing for a decent lipstick.


Then my Avon lady sent two freebies ^_^ yay .... Thank you Avon lady .... she sent a lovely lipstick in the shade 'Knock Out Pink' And a beautiful lip gloss from 'Irresistibly Sexy Lip Gloss' in the shade 'Undressed Nude' 

I am so happy with all my products and the two free products, I will defiantly be picking up some other stuff from Avon in the future.

Do you use Avon ?? What are your favourite products ?? 
I hope you like this post and feel free to leave your comments I love to read them all and reply. 

Much Love,

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipsticks

Hey, ^_^
  I am so in love with the Maybelline Color Sensational lipsticks, I recently picked up three colors which I loved as soon as I saw them, I have some pictures for you and some swatches!!

I picked up up my favorite nude which is '725 Tantalizing Taupe' it is the most amazing nude ever ^_^ Then I picked up '630 Velvet Beige' This is a lot more brown and quickly becoming another favorite. The last one I picked up was a color I never go for but I fell in love with the color, but I never wear it, I think it is the kind of color I just want so I can look at it every now and then, ha ha so I got '910 Shocking Coral' it is a very pink-y coral, but I am happy just knowing I have it ^_^
These come in a ton of shades, I picked my up for around £6 - £7
Shocking coral - Velvet Beige - Tantalizing Taupe

Leighton Denny - Nail Polish

I love this Leighton Denny nail polish, this is my first one and I have actually never heard of this brand before, I got sent it in my February Birch Box, My first thought was 'OOhhh lovely' my 'OMG I got a nail polish' sirens went off and I was super happy!! When I first applied the polish I didn't think I would like it, it went on really thin and a little bit watery and looked streaky, So my second thought was 'Oh no, they spent more time on the packaging' ....... but after a second coat I went straight back to my first thought ha ha, The second coat just made it perfect it dries really quick which is amazing for me as I always smudge my nails and it has a lovely shin to it. I don't have a colour like this in my collection as it isn't a colour I would normally pick up, the only blue shade I have is a pastel colour which I love for spring/summer, so it is really nice to have this, it is a little brighter than in the pictures, and I love it, I will be wearing this a lot in the summer as right now I am loving nudes. 
You can buy this from Leightondenny.com for £11.00 or from the Birch Box shop. The shade I got was Blue Lagoon. 

Have you ever tried Leighton Denny ?? 
Whats your favourite shade ?? 
If you would like to know more about what I got in my Birch box please leave a comment!! 

Much Love,

ELF Flawless Finish Foundation - Review

Hi Guys, So I finally got round to doing the review for the ELF flawless finish foundation, that I said I was going to do, This foundation is not my favorite (sorry ELF) but it is in my top 5 for sure it's really not bad at all, it is the perfect foundation for me for when I don't want to look like I have a pile of make up on. 

It is really thick and creamy but goes on really light, I would say it is a light to medium coverage, but can also be built up for a fuller coverage, and makes my skin feel super smooth after all my makeup is set. I found it did not sit well around my nose and I had to put some on my finger and really work it around my nose. My skin is super pale but I have a lot of redness in my T-zone and cheeks and it done a really good job of evening out my skin tone, I did have to use concealer as well under my eyes, a little around my nose and on my chin. By the end of the day this foundation does get really oily and shinny but I have a super oily T-zone so my skin type dose not help.  

Please do not be scared but in the next picture I have no Makeup on .... AARRGGGG lol
This Picture is not quite picking up all the redness in my skin it is a lot more red and un-even than this picture, I have a few spots on my head, that I do not normally get but today they are there.
So this is just the foundation no powder nothing..... and as you can tell it has evened out my skin tone a lot, it is a good coverage and makes my skin a little warmer looking. 
This is after I put on the rest of my makeup, and it looks a lot better, it is a really good everyday foundation, And I love it, I would buy this again for sure. The price of this foundation has gone up to £7.50 which is still cheap but you will get 23g and there is still only 6 shades to choose from. 

I hope this review helps you if you are looking at buying this foundation, Thank you for reading ^_^ 

Much Love,

Bringing Back The Ombre

I had Ombre hair for a while last year, my hair was long-ish at the time, and I loved it, at first it was a funny orange color but I actually really liked it, then near the end of my time with ombre I was trying to just dye my roots, dark of course and when I was washing it would the color run down over my ombre and turned it a weird green/gray color and again me being me, I really liked it so I kept it that color for a while untill finally dyeing it out about 4 months ago. Last month I decided to get it all chopped off as my hair is really thin and looks a bit naff long, so I got a long bob and it needed something else it was just a bit blah, so I decided to bring back my ombre, and I love it, about two weeks ago I tried the L'Oreal new ombre dye but it didnt do much at all, I actually used two out of three of the colors they had but nothing :( so this time I went for a full blonde hair dye and got better results ^_^
