Good day all!
It is early in the morning and I am writing this just before I start work…
The weather is beautiful outside~ It has been SO HOT this past week it seems to have cooled down today <3
Looking out the window in work its obvious the window cleaner must be some sort of hob goblin and can’t reach past the ledge, least the birds know now not to fly into it any more… the smears were blocking my view of the trees, squirrels and occasional prostitutes…. I work in a lovely area… -sigh-
Anywho I wanted to show you guys some wonderful must haves + thingie mabobs I got my mitts on!
(I can't take photo's of the results YET as I seem to have borrows lurking in my house... so i need to buy a new SD card... memo to self; get fly paper.)
First of all the HERA HD Foundation;
(I added links for each product used because
I am such a nice person & not a betch like others - cough-)
Tried to find the best prices but do more research if you want you never know you may find them cheaper or in your area!
This foundation is NOT a great colour for my skin! I am fair skinned at the moment and used to be quite tanned when I was little (don’t know what happened). But considering my fair skinned and this is the lightest shade its very orange/yellow... I was very disappointed... especially the frickin price I paid for it!!!! -sigh- If you have olive skin or darker than that then this may work for you... I will keep this though and use it when I get more tanned!
!B2k~$(KGrHqQOKk!EubqMSntBBLpZwjuD)!~~_12.JPG)
Saying that...I am surprised at how little amount you need because it glides on lovely. I think if you are slightly darker than myself this foundation would give you a warm glowing look. It feels light on the skin (in my personal opinion) not to heavy.
BB creams seem to break me out a lot and this foundation seems to do the same, but not as much...
The bottle is actually quite big! If you have a mary poppins bag like myself then it’ll be fine but if you have a small makeup bag you’re going to find it hard to carry it around…
Loving the packaging/bottle, I love shiny surfaces and this reminded me for some reason of a galaxy...
Score out of 5 -  Well a better foundation and MUCH cheaper than the above is; REVLON PHOTOREADY foundation  I have heard great reviews about this product and I was a bit sceptical on UK products (since I love asian products) but omg... I literally threw the HERA over my shoulder and kissed the hell out of this! I got it in shade 03 SHELL, because I don't want it to pale and want colour in my cheeks plus I want something to use when I do tan. PERFECT. Absoutely love the coverage, colour and texture. Much better than the above (shame to say) but GO REVLON! Score out of 5 -
Now one of the best concealers I have tried is the;
It beats Benefits Boi-ing with Thor’s Hammer into the ground! Were boi-ing would look a little greasy on my skin this concealer blends in lovely and looks natural. No sheen just nicely blends and covers redness A LOT.
I blend my concealer in with my ‘beauty blender’ sponge;
(you can get them on Amazon!)
just like my foundation. It gives it a better finish than a brush or fingers.
Score out of 5 -
I have never been a bronzer wearing person but I do love the look it gives the skin and because I am now fair skinned I was terrified in case it looked like I’d ran across the soil dragging my face along…
But alas! I have found one that really shapes my face and isn’t to dark or orange!
It doesn’t make me look like a corpse who has just crawled out of bog anymore! But more a sun-kissed goddess with a vengeance!
I really need a good bronzer brush; I only have one cheap brush that I used for my blusher… (sort of going off blushers now…) But it makes me look like Gandalf when half the bloody brush is left on my face! (Bristles fall out far to easily) I’ll use my sisters for now (she has 2 one new one) –shifty eyes-
Score out of 5 - The brush is soooo soft, gentle and doesn't feel like you're pressing your face against a bed of nails like some I have had in the past.
I am obsessed with eye shadows lately aswell!
She has a 'day' & 'night' version. My wonderful mother of mine got me them but I'm sure you can get them on ebay or something....
I love Kat Von D's makeup range... especially the Kat Von D Candelabra Edition True Romance Eyeshadow Book.
...seriously...DO FRICKIN WANT! ....but it is very pricey... -cries in corner-
I know a lot of people do their eye shadows first but I simple just can’t do that!!!
I use a primer first then TAP it onto the lid (don’t smudge it because you don’t get a nice full look of the pigments) but tbh do what you want…lol…
Smudge it out (I am rubbish at eye shadows since I am just learning) yes I am 22 years old and haven’t a clue on how to blend eye shadows… plus I have weird eye sockets :/ But the pigments in this eyeshadow are beautiful!~
Score out of 5 - (4 because there isn't many other colours mess about with.)
I recently tried a sample of the Lioele Dollish BB Make-up base vitamin cream, and I love the thickness of it, yet it goes onto the skin smooth and thins out? If that make’s sense.
It has a… scent but it isn’t horrible though it’s not exactly fresh lemons either.
Though the sample was so good I bought it on ebay! It’s cheaper and you get alot more from it than the Candy doll Make-up Base…
You know what I mean right? When you’re living on edge when you’re pumping it out a bit more because you feel as though every drop makes that pain in your chest become meaningful!!! You just know it was so not worth that money…you need...every...last...smidge...
Basically it corrects and helps skins imperfections while using six natural vitamins to protect your skin. Three in one function acts as a make-up base, BB cream, and a sunblock! However unless you have perfect skin... wear a foundation over it...
It is designed to give you a matte finish whilst moisturising and protecting your skin from UV rays. Lioele's Dollish Cream also provides a brilliant radiant glow which I love!
Personally if I had more confidence I would just wear the Liolle makeup base because it does make your skin just…lovely I can’t explain it. It might be the SPF in it…
Score out of 5 - So those are the products I love at the moment!
I hope these thingie mabobs works for you guys aswell + bring that little bit of confidence you need~
Have a wonderful week!

Yes I have reached the grand age of the two little ducks...

I have now officially became... 'The Gold Dragon'
(i wore a gold sequin jacket that looked like scales from a dragon)
or according to my mum 'Snap Dragon'
for reasons often discussed during a certain time of the month. Damn moon.
(funnily enough i have always had a love for dragons... even from a tiny child...i'd decapitate barbie's head and prevail Puff The Magic Dragon as lord over Marshmallow city.)
The 12th May was a lovely day, it was sunny beautiful weather consisting of me shopping
(memo to self not in heels ever again.)
Devouring Lion Bar Milkshakes (thank you God),
Visiting the cinema to see Dark Shadows/Johnny Depp (again Thank you God),
family fun and drinks in ze night~
I think I spent more money on food and the cinema than anything else...
I bought a few things for myself though...teeth whitening products!!
(not that my teeth are discoloured I just love the whole
OMG THEY LOOK SO CLEAN comments...
that and I have just been introduced to the gloriousness of Latte's...)
So I got them with a gift card my friend got me >:D
I bought 2 lipsticks aswell because I cannot walk past Boots/Superdrug without my body being dragged through the doors like a huge ass magnet is pulling me in with its force!
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 001 Nude Attitude
&
Maybelline Color Sensational in 602 Beige Rose
9BPR5V9hsWw~~60_35.JPG)

I love the nude colours... always have more so than pinks and reds...
(i hate red lipstick...i'm sorry...i just do...-chased by mod of women-)
Like i said i love nude and dark beige tones...
Just makes me feel more 'exotic bronze sexy Amazon warrior/I can crush your face with my thighs' look...

Maybelline The Falsies Black Drama
So...sooooo happy with this mascara...

/huntspostmandown
Ill just show you the shops images as I obviously can't take photos of them yet...
But I got them all for nice cheap prices on ebay :)
 
I got a lovely shawl/cardi because I hate carrying around huge ass coats especially when our british weather changes that many times like a chameleon on steroids.
 
I also went out my comfort zone and bought dark grey and brown tights
hey its the year of change! and skinny jeans in the hot sun is getting annoying...
Watched the first 3 episodes of Coffee House and absolutely loved it so I bought the boxset ahem...
/hermitmodecommence!
  
And yeah... even though I'm 22 now...I'll never get rid of the child inside even if you strap me to a chair and torture me!!!! D:<!
plus its frickin adorable and practical...-cough- excuse for work -cough-
I didn't take any photo's of what I wore for my birthday yesterday but I will wear the outfit again so watch out for some snap shots of me~
I mix my own style up as my auntie says its 'roc chick/WERID.'
Yeah thanks auntie...
Anywho I will be posting a few photos soon!!
Hope you all had a lovely day!!! :D
