Lancome Paris Best of Colour Focus 8 Eye-shadow Palette Review!!!

Hi Guys! Im back!

Sorry for that short break, but school has been SUPER stressful lately (Separate blog post on it HERE) what with Orals, Detentions and teachers. But anyways, today Im doing a Lancome Best of Colour Focus Palette! I originally got this at Duty free so I got it for £17.00 and the usual price is around £24.00 - £26.00 so I think I saved a lot.

Colours     

I quite like the colours of this palette but there are a few, like the green, blue and purple one that I wont be using to go out, maybe for just messing around with make-up. 

However, I LOVE the cream, the gold, the black (for eyeliner) and the brown. Sometimes I do a combination of the gold, cream and the brown which is SUPER easy to do and looks put-together.

Names of the colours

Top row left to right:

103 Moonlight.

Bottom row left to right:

251 Un The au Sahara

Hell, those French words were hard to spell!

Swatches go from top left hand corner, across and down.

Staying Power

I usually put concealer on my eyelids anyway because I have really veiny eyelids. Ew! I know ha-ha! And concealer can also be used as a eyelid-primer so it stays on pretty good. When I use the black for eyeliner you usually have to re-touch half way through the day but the light colours really stay on and I can still notice it by the end of the night.

Overall

Overall, I really like this palette and I use it lots and lots, I have hit pan on two colours, the black and the cream, BUT. I dont think I will be repurchasing because of the price, and I had saved up for this pallette but Im sure I could very easily find doupes for the colours. 

Quick Break

Hey guys!
I just wanted to let you know that Im going to be having a break from my blog until Thursday to be able to focus on my upcoming Oral Languages Tests!
Back on Thursday! Love you!

School Makeup Products

Hope you all had a good weekend!

Today Im doing a post on my everyday school makeup products!

We are actually not allowed to wear stuff like eyeliner, eyeshadow etc at my school so I wear quite minimal makeup. Occasionally I wear a white eyeshadow to make my eyes look more awake, but very occasional. I probably will be doing a "Weekend makeup products" post too.

FACE


The first picture is like the "Prep part" I use the Simple's kind to skin hydrating light moisturiser, which is really good but to be honest, its not very moisterising, but anyhows, I use it becuase its cheap. Haha.
I also use the Vasaline cocoa butter lip balm because dry flaky lips are not attractive, lets be honest.
Then the second picture is the "coverage" part of my routine, I use the Maxfactor Miracle touch foundation as a concealer because stupid me, I got a colour too light, so if I used it all over my face I'd look like I had a really bad cold which is'nt really the look I'm trying to achieve here, lol. Then I go over it and either use my Lamcome Touche Eclat concealer, or my natural collection one. THEN after THAT I put a reeeallllyyy small pea-sized amount of my BB cream. 
On to the third picture, These are the brushes I use daily, The first one is an eyebrow brush because you dont really want messed-up eyebrows, but if you dont have a brush take a lipbalm or vasaline and use it to keep your eyebrows in place. Then I use an ELF foundation brush for my foundation concealer and then I use my pink primark brush to rub it all in, its really handy becuase there is a concealer side and a foundation side. After that I get a powder (which I forgot to include, but I use a Natural collection) and put it over my t-zone. The bigger the brush, the more natural the look. 

On my lips I dont do much except for using a luuurvly nude pink colour which is Maybelline 132 Sweet pink, and over the top I use a bath and body works lipgloss in the flavour Strawberry Parfait which is Y.U.M.M.Y!


                                                             I hope you liked this post!

Im going to my schools fair today!
Sorry for the background I took the pictures in my Kitchen,Haha!

Hello lovely bloggers!!

Im going to be reviewing the Garnier BB Cream! I use this almost every day and I thought I would share my thoughts on it with you!

Coverage


The coverage of this isn't the best but it's not meant to give you a "pristine-amazingly-clear face" because after all, it is a BB cream! Garnier says it "smooths fine lines" and even though I am 13 years old, I have seriously bad smile lines so when I put on foundation it usually sinks into the lines rather than blending them, but with this product, that is not the case, it gives a "natural airbrush" look and defiantly hides those pesky lines. I think the best thing about this product is that you can build up coverage, so, for school I use about a pea size amount all over my face, but if I'm going out for the night then I use about a 20p size amount and build it up.
Score for coverage: 7/10


Application


I use a brush to apply this, but I used to use my hands, but when I did, I found that it was giving me a "tangerine mark" aka. Foundation Marks, so then I started using an ELF brush and I found it worked perfectly! So I would defiantly recommend using a brush. Its pretty easy to apply and this product was one of my first make-up products, when I was about eleven, nearly twelve, so its great for begginers!
Score for application: 6/10

What Garnier claims the BB cream does


It gives you SPF 15 protection from the sun, aswell as giving UV protection.
As I mentioned above, it also smooths out fine lines, gives you an even tone and a natural glow AND 24 hour hydration!
What more could you want?!

Price


Ok, so this is the only bad thing about this product, the price.
I got mind from boots, for £9.99 which I thought was RIDONKULOUS! 9 pounds?! Seriously? I personally think that it should be maximum £7.50! Its only 50ml in a medium as well!


Will I be repurchasing?


Hmm... because of the price, I'll probably ask for a large one for my birthday or Christmas. So its sort of a 
50/50 kind of thing!


I hope you guys found this review helpful!

Lots of love-

Primark Haul!

Hello Lovely Bloggers!

I recently went up town and did some wreckage down in good old Primarni! 
I got quite a few bits and thought I'd show you as Primark doesn't have a website which is a bit annoying!!
I also needed some Summer/Spring stuff as all my clothes are winter/autumn-ish! So lets gooo!

I've been wanting a Play-Suit for AAGES but most of them are either waay to small or massive, which is never good! I was also looking to get a Peter-Pan collar shirt so when I saw this I was super happy! It's really cute because it has an outline of rabbits! Not in like a baby-ish way but in a really cute adulty way! Haha that made no sense what-so-ever!



When I first walked into the store this was one of the first things I saw! I LOVE sun-glasses and these were AMAZING because they are one pound! *mind blown*
Another great thing about these sunglasses is that they are my two favourite colours! Neon Pink+ Baby Blue! I dont know why it isn't coming up neon on picture but its very neon in person so get yourself down to Primark and get yourself these glasses!


 I have REALLY been needing  a new pencil case and I thought this would be good as I love Pink and Cheetah Print! This is actually a make-up bag but, Oh wells nobody will notice will they?? Apart from you guys reading this! Haha its our little secret ;)
Its a really perfect size and fits in my bag nicely! That takes us nicely onto the next item I bought which is...


This lovely fake (or should I say, faux) leather bag! I was in despearo need of a new bag because all my other ones are FILTHY! This one is GREAT because the material seems really hard-wearing! The only bad thing was the Price! You guys are probably going to think I'm a cheapskate but it was £9.00! The last time I went to Primark (ages ago) I bough a bag, bigger than this one for £7.00!! What a rip off! It is really quite small as well! Rant over. Haha! But overall I really like this bag and I dont think its going to get dirty easily like my other ones. Because seriously, who likes a dirty bag?!


Next is this lovely navy-blue/white Peter-Pan shirt! I really like this top and I cant wait to wear it! There were some other nice peter pan tops, but I didn't want to spend all my money on them all at once but when I enough I will defiantly be going back! There was also a really sweet neon-pink spotty one as well but there were none in my size!

I was browsing through the Jewellery section and as you may or may not know, I LOVE bows! I have a rather large collection now Ha-ha! So when I saw this, it was the last one, I GRABBED it as quick as I could as the lady next to me was also eyeing it! But MWAH-HA-HA I gottit! She must of been really annoyed! Oops. This was £2.50.

More bows! These are cute little hair clips! The ones on the left are actually hair grasps, Really good for only £2.00!
The ones on the right are a lovely coral colour and these are small hair-clips!

Next I got some Makeup tools! I recently got a elf foundation brush but I washed it too much (I'm a germ freak) and the glue came off it :( Sad times, I know. ANYWAYS, I got the concealer/foundation brush and I actually didnt realise that the concealer on the end so that was a plus! Also, its PINK! Double plus eh!?
 Then I got an eyelash curler because my one was really old and starting to break so for one pound I went ahead and bought it.
My old one was also really chunky and it was a gross greeny colour, and this one is pink :D


AND THAT, my friends is the end of my haul!!! Hope you guys liked it!

                                          Will you be going to Primark any time soon?
