Reduced Products!

Hello bloggers!

So recently I was shopping and found a few reduced great quality products! I decided to put them into this haul blog post! Enjoy!

1. Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil - 002 Hazel (Brush included)























This is a lighter shade than I've used before but I'm in love with this product! It's great quality and was reduced to about £1.50! I recommend it to anyone as I use it every day!


2. False Lash Telescopic Infinite Length Effect Waterproof Mascara - Black (bit of a mouthful!)






















I'm totally in love with this product and it only cost £2! It is a nice shaped wand and I use this for my bottom lashes!


3. Rimmel Lasting Finish Colour Rush - Bright Pink (No actual shade shown)









 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This only cost about £1.50 and is a bit brighter than I usually go for. If you know the shade of this then please comment it as I have no idea!


4. Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick - Shade 113























This is one of my all time favourite products! I'm in love with it! This was reduced from £5.50 down to £1.37 which is an amazing bargain! Highly recommend as it's a lovely nude colour and it great quality!


Lots of love,

Avon Products! #1

 
Hello bloggers!

Recently I bought a couple of products from AVON and decided to do a post on it! I have also ordered more but I'm doing this in 2 different posts! Here is part one! Enjoy! 

1. Avon SuperExtend Liquid Eye Liner - Black






















Now this product says its a liquid liner, but as you can see from the pictures it looks more like a pen! Its quite a good product but a bit hard to apply to the waterline as it just seems to rub off!


2. Colour Trend Pressed Powder - Translucent




















This is a great product for a cheap price! I haven't used this very much though as I am still obsessed with my Stay Matte Powder!

Lots of love,
Vikki

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation Review!

Hello bloggers!

So this is just a little review blog post on a product I recently bought. The Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation!

I bought this product about 1 week ago from Boots and it cost £7.99. I bought this in the shade Ivory which is what all of my foundations are in.
I have seen loads of reviews on this product and nearly everyone says how great it is so I thought I would try it.

I did actually like this product a lot but there was one thing that was bad and that was that my usual shade was too dark, meaning I have to mix 2 foundations to get the right shade.
I don't know why Ivory was too dark because I have always been using that shade. I guess all foundations are different!

This foundation comes with a pump that is great! I don't like it when foundations don't have pumps such as the Nars Sheer Glow.
This foundation is great when applied and blended in and gives a great finish! I do love this one but I still prefer my Wake Me Up foundation which is what I usually wear!

I would recommend this to people who are looking for a new foundation aswell! Go and buy it!
I would buy this again but probably in a lighter shade!




Lots of love,
Vikki

Gabriella | velvetgh0st

Hello bloggers!

So today I thought I would do a little blog post on velvetgh0st who is Gabriella Lindley!
First of all, if you don't know who she is then check her out!
Her twitter; https://twitter.com/velvetgh0st
Her YouTube channel; https://www.youtube.com/user/velvetgh0st
Her Instagram; http://instagram.com/velvetgh0st#

I absolutely adore Gabby, so much! She is also rapidly becoming my favourite beauty youtuber! She posts videos that include Hauls, Tutorials & Favourites!
She has such a nice personality and is so bubbly, which I love!
Her videos are also amazing! I had never heard of her until a while back. So I thought I would check out her channel and immediately fell in love!

She interacts so well with her viewers and her channel is growing bigger and bigger everyday! At the moment, she is only about 100 away from hitting 80k subscribers! That's insane! So if you haven't already, go and head on over to velvetgh0st on YouTube and subscribe!

I have watched all of her videos but my favourite has got to be her tutorials! She uses great products and even though she doesn't always use drugstore products, she will recommend a cheaper version which you could buy!

She isn't afraid to say her opinion, which is an amazing quality to have. She will definitely say if she doesn't like a product which is one of the best things because you don't want to go and buy something that is terrible and waste all of your money!

I have spoken to Gabby a few times before and she is honestly so down to earth! She is also very beautiful and starting YouTube as given her so much confidence! So why don't you do your good deed for the day and head on over to her YouTube or twitter and send her a nice message! Also make her day by subscribing and watching her videos! :)

Lots of love,
Vikki

Guest Post | 3 Steps To A Flawless Complexion!



3 Steps to a Flawless Complexion
 

Hello, I’m Allie from yougottabegorgeous.blogspot.com and I am going to be writing a guest post for Vikki.  Today I thought I would share how I get a flawless complexion. Sometimes you don’t want a fully flawless  look but sometimes it feels nice to just look airbrushed.
My first step is to have good skin, this might be obvious but a good base makes any make up look better.  I think having a good routine is the best way to even out your skin and get rid of blemishes.
 Just using the same couple a products daily can make a real difference, so make sure you stick to at
least one of the same products, don’t keep switching them up and trying new things. I am using the Superdrug  Tea Tree range at the moment and I’m loving it, it is really great for my skin.
 
 

So my second tip is a good primer, I didn’t used that a primer made a difference but when I started using  the Urban Decay Pore Perfecting Primer I was a changed gal. I love this primer because it gives such a flawless base without having to use a heavy duty coverage foundation. But any primer will do, just one to fill in those pores, which will make a huge difference if you do have quite large pores. The Maybelline Baby Skin is also a great drugstore option.
 
 
 
My final step is to invest in a good concealer. I think a good concealer is a better option than high coverage foundation because a heavy duty foundation can sometimes look quite fake and cakey, but with a good concealer you can just apply it to where you need it and still get that airbrushed look. My personal favourites are the Collection Lasting Perfection or MAC Pro Longwear, they are pretty similar in coverage and last all day!
 
 
That was my 3 steps to a flawless complexion, what tips would you recommend?

Tanya Burr Nail Collection!

Hello bloggers!

So if you have read my recent posts then you will know that I am in love with the collection of nail polishes that Tanya Burr released! Sadly I do not own any of the lipglosses as when I went to buy them in the shop (Superdrug), they one had 3 left, which happened to be very dark reds. I don't wear dark red lipgloss as I prefer nudes and pinks.

But when I was in the Superdrug in Glasgow, I bought 3 more nail varnishes! I got a lovely pink, a hot pink and a dark purple. Right now I am wearing the purple one.
These are what I got;

Mini Marshmallows

 
 
 
Be Bright, Be Happy, Be You
 
 
 
 
Midnight Sparkles
 
 
 
 
My Collection;
 
 
 
 
 The only downside I have is with the Midnight Sparkles on. When it is on your nails it shows up quite dark and you don't really see the purple tints or the sparkles very well.
 
Overall, I love these products and I know for sure that I'll be buying more very soon!
 
Lots of love,
Vikki
