Beauty|Baking|Fashion|Lifestyle Blog

I've started this blog to talk about the things I love; one of them being beauty. I'm a 14 year old girl who loves all things beauty related - skincare, makeup, hair, nails; so much so that when I'm older I want to become a dermatologist. Because I'm only 14 I find that all the best beauty bloggers are 20+ which means their skin is different and they are able to wear make up to there heart's content, where as we have to wear the "right amount" for our age. This blog is for everyone. But I will be aiming it at girls my age, who are interested in mainly beauty, but also baking, fashion and healthy eating. I upload every Sunday. :)

October Favourites

So I know this is late but I thought I'd post this anyway because I just LOVE these things and I thought I should let you guys know.
So these two are the OGX coconut water shampoo and conditioner. I'm just gonna throw this out there ... THESE ARE AMAZING!!!!! I think it might be the coconut oil in them, but this shampoo and conditioner literally make my hair feel the softest it has felt in years! It makes your hair really soft and lightweight. I know this sounds a bit weird but it is like your hair feels ten times lighter than it did before. I don't know how you guys would feel about this but I love the feeling! I was really surprised when I first bought these because I picked them up in a local supermarket when it was buy one get one half price! (They were £6.99 each)  I'd hear a couple of people talk about them but I didn't realise how good they were!

Because it's getting colder one thing everyone wants is a good body moisturiser and naturally, when I was walking through Boots, I stopped at the Soap and Glory counter to smell some! I'd never tried this one before, and every time I put it on I literally want to eat the whole tub, it smells that good! ... Is that a bit weird... I think so! I also really like the consistency of this moisturiser, because it is a "lightly whipped body buttercream" it is thicker than a body lotion, which I personally don't like in Autumn/Winter because I get really dry skin, but it's thinner than a body butter which can take a really long time to soke in. I think this was around £10. You also get a HUGE tub so I definitely think it's worth the money.

So this is the Elemis peachy perfect flash wash. As you can see I'm about half way through this, so I think that's a clear indication that I've used it! I've been using this face wash in the mornings because it really wakes you up in the morning, and the last thing you want late at night is to be a sleepy as a hamster at night! Also, I'm trying out another cleanser, which might make an appearance soon! To be honest when it comes to cleansers unless there is a clear difference in your skin there's nothing really to look for. It cleanses my face and it smells nice what else do you want! By the way guys I think Elemis might be discontinuing this soon so if you want it go grab it! I think this was quite expensive so to be honest I don't think it was really worth it.

First of all I would like to say that this my favourite scent from the Body Shop. It smells quite floral but fruity and is a really fresh scent. It's also a great hand cream! Towards Autumn/Winter my hands get much much drier and they go all tight and start to crack (Gross right?) and this is when I always have a hand cream on me! I love this one because it is light and a little goes a long way. I think towards the winter I will be using a thicket one that hydrates my hands deeper in the skin. But for now I'm LOVING this hand cream. I actually got this in a set as a present but online it says it is £4.

              This is possibly my favourite of all of them this month. Archery by Soap and Glory brow pencil. I love this product because it has a really nice consistency and it sits really nicely. It also lasts all day and perfectly matches my brow colour! I literally have nothing bad to say about it. Another reason  I love this is because it has a little brow spoolie at the other end. This also lasts a really long time. I've been using this every day for a month or two and it's still going on! So that should give you an idea of how long it lasts. This was £8 from Boots.
This is my favourite liquid liner of all. It is perfect because it is like a felt tip pen that is really thin at the tip and really thick near the top. So basically it is a liquid liner for dummies! ( I find liner really hard! ) This is brilliant because it stays all day and it is really easy to fix if you muck it up! (I do this most of the time!) This is £6.99 from Boots which I think is a bargain!

First of all, this colour does look a bit scary but when it's on your lips it looks like a really lovely pinky-purpley berry shade. What I love about it is that it's a really subtle. This was £2 from The Body Shop, which I think is a really good price.

I know these are on the pricier side, but I think these lipsticks are REALLY good. The one on the left is creamsheen shy girl. This is an orangey nude, and I think this looks really great but I can imagine it could look a bit odd on different toned complexions. I have quite a pink complexion so I suppose it depends. The one on the right is creamsheen hot gossip it is a berry toned pink that is perfect for autumn and winter. In this picture they both look a bit darker than in real life, so they aren't that dark! What I love about these lipsticks is that they are really pigmented, but at the same time they can look really subtle. If you apply a thin layer, it comes out with some colour but not too much. OR if you prefer you can go straight in and it builds up to a gorgeous colour! I am LOVING both these colours at the moment, so I hoe you guys go and check them out. The creamsheen part to the name is the formulation. I think cream sheens are my favourite because I like my lipsticks to be really creamy and hydrating, so that when I rub my lips together, they don't stick or feel really dry. My worst nightmare would be to have a lipstick that makes your lips really dry (I get really dry lips anyway!). These are both really creamy and I love the way they sit on my lips. These were £15.50 each which I KNOW is a lot to pay for one lipstick, but I love them sooooooo much!

Last but not least is my Rimmel By Kate Moss lipstick in 38. I picked this one because I think it is a really good dupe for the MAC lipstick I mentioned above. All I would say is that this is slightly more pink toned and slightly less orange toned. It is also a little more drying than the MAC one but I think when it comes to make up, most of the time you get what you pay for. Having said that, I still think there are some really amazing products in the high street stores, and I think this is one of them. As you can see from the photo, I have used all three of these lipsticks so please don't judge the state of them, I just like to use them! Oh! ... I forgot to say that this Rimmel lipstick was £5.49 from Boots. Again I'm really sorry this was so late I just totally forgot to post this! I do have another blogpost coming up soon to make up for that so see you soon!
Dream on ❤️
