Ways to use Vaseline:


Vaseline (petroleum jelly) is a must have, especially in winter, so i thought i would share some amazing ways that you can use this incredibly cheap but amazingly effective product!

1) removing eye makeup
Great for senstive eyes and sutubborn mascra, and hydrates the under eye too!

2) Cure dry cuticles
deeply moisturises and gets rid of annoying hangnails.

3) Extend your perfume
rub a little Vaseline onto your wrists and neck, and your perfume lasts longer throughout the day!

4) Hair shine
it sounds scary, but rub a little throughout the ends o your hair, for shiny, glossy look!

5) Ensure an even tan
rub Vaseline around your knees and elbow to make sure your tan's not patchy ( this is great for the winter as you skin gets dryer in the winter!)

6) DIY cheap exfoliator
Take a scoop to a palmful of salt to create an ultra rich exfoliate! Cheap and cheerful!

7) Eyelash growth treatment
I swear by this, it thickens, lightens and conditions my lashes. Pop on at night, i saw major effects within 5 weeks!

8) pedicure!
Vaseline is a great foot treatment; generously coat your feet in Vaseline and wack on a pair of socks: Tada!

9) lipstick smudges
rub a little over your teeth, and your lipstick wont get on them-this is used alot in pageants!

10) eyebrow tamer
with a clean mascara wand, brush lightly through the brows to get a clean and precise eyebrow shape all day.

11) after shave balm
use like a moisturiser after you shave your legs; super moisturising and very effective!

12) Cure chapped lips
an amazing lip balm that i cannot fault!

Top Autumn/Fall Lipstick <3

So autumn is finally here, (in the UK anyway!), and my favourite part of the colder weather, is warming up your clothing and makeup! I'm going to share with you the lipstick that i love for this time of year, to add that seasonal touch to my everyday look!

M.A.C Rebel lipstick-£14.00

This is a lovely black current toned red that complements a wide range of skin tones. It is a "satin" finish so it is pretty glossy, but also very opaque. Surprisingly i found this lipstick really moisturising, which is perfect for dry and chapped lips (which we all get when its colder!) It can make you teeth look a little yellow, its not a huge problem, and it can easily be solved with a clear gloss with a blue undertone. It can look scary in the pan, but you can blend it out with your fingers and a bit of lip balm!

Hope this helped and thanks for stopping by! <3<3<3<3

MAC eyeshadow... Naked Lunch!

For the perfect neutral eye colour, with a little bit of shimmer, have you tried Naked lunch?
This is such a versatile colour, you can wear it as a highlight, lid colour, or blend it into any neutral or smokey eye look. This definitely has some shimmer to it, but it's nothing overpowering! It is a little expensive at £11.50, but i think it is very much well worth the money!

I love this colour for Autumn, because of it  pinkish undertone, it is very subtle, but adds a lovely warmth to the eye, which makes it so beautiful when it's worn all over the lid on it's own, and a swipe of it under the brow bone!  A cheaper option, that is a really good dupe, is "Wheatshealf" from no.7, which is available from Boots.com and boots stores. It is much more affordable at £7.00!

I have been trying out the "two faced lashlight"mascara, and have loved it! It reminds me of Benefits "They're real" mascara, but gives slightly more volume. This mascara has a "fabric" brush with un-noticeable fibres in the formula, that really help to add length to your lashes. This is a jet black mascara that opens up your eyes, it gives a dramatic effect if you build, but you can achieve a natural look, with 1 coat of mascara! In the UK, you can purchase this mascara from Boots for £16.50, and In the US, you can pick it up at sephora, for $25.00. It has a small light on the handle of the brush, and a mirror on the tube, great or touch ups on the go!

Most worn tag: Summer addition!

1- Most worn nail polish:
My most worn nail polish is from nails inc, and it is called "Chelsea embankment". It is an amazing gold glitter nail polish, it looks beautiful on its own (2-3 coats for an opaque finish) or painted over colours as a glitter topcoat! It my be £11.00, but it's brilliant quality, and i find it really hard to find a good, opaque glitter polish!




2- most worn Hair product:
In the summer my most worn hair products is Batiste dry shampoo, my hair tends to get greasy a bit quicker in the summer, and i love to spirits a little of the dry shampoo in my roots to refresh my hair between washes. It tends to be around £1.99 - £3.00, and you can find this in drugstores/ pharmacies and supermarkets!


3- Most worn Bag:
To be honest, i do not own any popular, or designer bags, but i recently went to a vintage shop near to where i live, and picked up an over the shoulder, bag which has quickly become my most worn bag for summer! It goes with almost any outfit, because of it's simplicity and i snatched it up for a bargain of £6.99!



4- most worn shoes:
For summer, i love to wear Espadrilles, i think that they look cute, and you can find them in so many different colours and patterns, they are easy to find and are cheap ( if you get them from high street stores)! My favourite pair are my grey and White striped espadrilles, from new look! Well worth the £7.00!  


5- most worn accessories:
My favourite accessories, have to be my dainty rope bracelet's from Top shop. They have tiny black beads, with roes gold yin yang and cross charms on them! They look lovely and dainty on their own, or mixed with other brackets if you prefer the "layered" look! They were £2.00 pounds each and are still available now!




6- Most worn clothing piece :
This for me are my lavender pinstriped shorts from top shop, they are high waisted, and are a great statement piece, without being too in your face! They are easy too dress up, with a blouse or shirt, or dress down, with a simple T-shirt! I know that they are now n the Top shop sale for £10.00, but both prices are completely worth it!




7- Most worn Foundation:
I don't wear foundation, however, i do occasionally wear the Dream fresh BB cream, from Maybelline's! It is so bendable, and look really natural on the skin. It only offers a light to medium coverage ( at the most ) which is ideal for me! It is perfect for the summer because it is so light on the skin. I just love it so very much!








8- Most worn Blush/ Broner:
I only really wear blusher, i am quite pale so a find it hard to find a natural looking bronzer. My most worn blush, not just in the summer, but all year round, is "pink cloud" from natural collection. it is an incredibly soft powder blush, in a lovely, baby pink shade. They    are very well pigmented, and are so affordable, at £1.99 from boots stores!


9- Most worn lip product:
In the summer months, i turn to plain old carmex! The cherry one is my favourite, it is amazing for sore, or chapped lips, and has spf 15!



10- Most worn Mascara:
I love to wear Rimmle Sexy curves mascara, i have made a blog post previously, it is a lovely, lengthening drugstore mascara, for bold, dramatic lashes! Is comes in waterproof, however i find this harder to remove. It has a nice "wet"
(oo-er) formula, and for me almost never clumps!

Taylor swift Wonderstruck Eau de Parfum <3


This perfume is a really sweet, and fruity scent with a sharp twist of citrus, with a soap type undertone, making it the perfect "young" fragrance! The packaging is really fun, it's very cute, with charms, that suit the bubbly fragrance super well, however it may not be the scent for every adult! The price, for me is a pretty reasonable, at £20.00 for 30ml and £29.00 for 50 ml (this is only the prices from Boots stores, but they vary considerably from store to store!) So this is a great scent for a teenager or young adult to ask for for Christmas, birthdays e.c.t.
It is available to get in samples, from HERE!
