OOTD :)

Hello lovlies! Sorry i havent been posting very regularly, ive been super busy with work! So today i have been to the gym and now im going round my nans with the family to have some lunch/dinner. So i've changed into a casual but nice outfit :)

My cardigan has been stolen from my mum, i think its vintage :)

Everything else is from topshop!

My creepers are also stolen from my sister, but she was going to throw them out anyway so yay! :) I am not sure where they are from :\

This outfit is super comfy and i love the batwing sleeves right at the bottom of the cardigan, i think its different!

Hope to speak to you all in the comments, and i hope you're having a lovely day!

(new mua lipstick in shade 13 - urban decay naked 2 palette in Bootycall, Tease and Foxy.) also, the lighting makes it look like ive only done one eye :( dont worry, thats not a new look im going for!

BYE! :)

Seven Deadly Sins Of Beauty Tag

Hello lovlies! I was tagged by the beautyful Belle over at http://mascara-and-maltesers.blogspot.co.uk :) So thankyou Belle! lets do this!

Greed- what is your most expensive beauty item?

I'm actually quite good when it comes to finding good deals on my beauty items. But probably the most expensive item (that i can think of right now) is my MAC brush set. It was £40-45, so for that to be one of my most expensive items i dont think it that bad!

Sloth- which product do you neglect the most due to laziness?

For some reason, i just tend to not put on lipstick (im trying now!). After i put all the rest of my makeup on i usually cant be bothered to put on lipstick which would be the last thing i do.

Wrath- which item do you have a love/hate relationship with?

Eyeshadow. No matter how much primer i put on, it still fades a lot and creases into my eye socket if that makes sense. So if i wear a dark eyeshadow by the end of the day i tend to get a black/dark line across my crease :(

Gluttony- what brand makes up most of your make-up collection?

Probably, MUA or maybelline or rimmel. Haha, sorry there's about the same of all of them!

Pride- which product gives you the most confidence?

Probably mascara as i dont like my eyelashes without it, but also foundation. Especially when i have quite a few blemishes here and there.

Lust- which item is at the top of your beauty wish list?

Probably the Naked Basics palette, it looks so nice and just the right amount of colours :)

Envy- which make up product/look is great on others but not yourself?

Smokey eyes, or filled in eyebrows (not too much). I just cant seem to pull the two looks off at all :(

OOTN + Get Ready With Me

MUA Lip Products Review

Hey guys! So today i'm going to be reviewing MUA's old and new lip products :) I recently went on a little splurge in Superdrug including face products (which i will review tomorrow). So lets start with the lipsticks :)

(MUA Lipstick in Shade 11)

 (MUA Lipstick in Shade 3)

(MUA Lipstick in shade 13)

I got these lipsticks in shade 13, 3 and 11 :) I LOVE THEM. They were on offer for 2 for 3 lipsticks :) and other ranges! So i couldnt resist, i wanted to get 3 completely different colours. Here are the swatches:

(In order - left to right - Shade 11, shade 3, shade 13)

I tried them all quickly to test them out before i went out and they were super soft and didnt feel like a £1 product. I never usually wear bright red lipstick but i wanted to take a risk and i really like it! They feel really smooth and dont dry my lips, it doesnt cake up on my lips and the colour is very vibrant! Im so glad i picked these 3 lipsticks up and i will definately be repurchasing!

 Next, i bought their power pout lip tint and balm:

(MUA Power Pout in shade 'Irreplacable

I didnt realise it was also a balm and i was so surprised with how moisturising yet pigmented it was! Im so happy with it and wore it out to dinner tonight and it didnt fade a bit :) Also, i feel that they could be a dupe for Clinque's chubby sticks or Revlon's lip pencil/sticks (cant remember what they are called haha). So pleased with it :) Here is the swatch for it:

Lastly, i picked up their lipgloss in shade 'my lips are sealed'. I love it, i wore it for work all day and it didnt fade one bit. It lasted all day and stayed very bright and although i have very dry lips it didnt fade at all! :) I also feel that this good be a good dupe for the Apocolips Lip Laquer as its very intense!

(MUA High Intensity Lipsgloss in 'Lips Are Sealed'

All of this together cost £7-8! Crazy, and so totally worth the price (worth more), they are so great for their prices i find it crazy! I definitely recommend all their lip products and will be repurchasing more soon :)

What do you guys think of MUA's products? I love them and their prices haha! Let me know what you think in the comments.

Much love,

Being a Blogger/Youtuber

Hello!

I've only been on this whole beauty blogging scene for about a week now (although i've stalked everyone else's blogs for much longer) and i'm already loving it! Seeing other peoples blogs and opinions inspires me to share my own and come out of my comfort zone and try new things! I never used to be like that, and i love being able to help others with reviews and opinions and such. I'm also on youtube too and i've started to write down ideas for my blog and youtube which you can see...

I just love it already so i know there will be even more to come! Just wanted to post this as i've been sick for the past few days and blogging and reading everyone else's blogs has really cheered me up! I can't wait to see what the future brings! (Cheesy i know...)

PS. I BOUGHT THIS AMAZING PINAFORE THAT BEAUTYCRUSH HAS...

(From beautycrush.co.uk)

I'm so excited to receive it and you can expect a OOTD with this sometime next week, also with a rather lovely pair of heels from h&m. But i wont give too much away!

Hope you all have a lovely night/day!

Much love,

Jessica xo

Essie Nail Polish in Lapiz of luxury review

Hello girls! (And guys)!

Today I'm going to be talking about the Essie nail polishes. I LOVE them! They dry so much faster than other nail polish brands and that's good for me as I tend to stupidly do them as I'm leaving the front door! I also think they don't really chip and you don't need to many coats!

   

                                                      

(Essie in Lapiz Of Luxury)

I really like this colour for spring as it's not too dark or bright, it's just the right colour for me haha! Here it is after 1 coat:

So you do need more than one coat as you can see, but so do most nail polishes. However other Essie colours that I have only need one coat :)

Here it is after 2 (finished):

Yay! :) I really like Essie as they aren't too expensive (£7.99) like OPI, and I feel they dry faster too. I will definitely be repurchasing more Essie nail polishes in the future! 

What do you think? Do you like Essie nail polishes? What are your favourite brands or colours? 

Much love,

Help?!

Hello! So im still ill, and that can mean i've been doing one thing! Online shopping (uh oh). So i have had some luck with some things i wanted to get but i'm having great trouble finding this....

(Picure from Beautycrush's blog - not mine.)
