Saturday's Post- Silly Me and an abundance of posts!

So here is Thursday's Post lets just jump right in!

Silly Me!- I am such a fail at everyday blogging but last week I was busy and then Monday I was lazy but on Tuesday I had my options evening :/ and I was busy yesterday clearing out my Grandad's flat and generally lazy But yeah I will try from now on to keep to the everyday. 

An Abundance of posts:

So I will be doing several posts in one to make up for missing it so I need to do Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (All the days I have missed) But instead I am doing two reviews and the three posts below :)

Friday Posts:
Fragrance Friday: Exclamation Perfume
First Impression: Rimmel Apocolips Celestial

Sunday post:
January Favorites

So now I have decided that part one will be up today of 'an abundance of posts' and part 2 will be tomorrow: I will do 2 reviews today.

So lets get started.


Urban Decay Naked palette:
This is the most famous thing ever in the beauty blogger world, and I finally jumped on the band wagon and I got this for christmas and I must say I love it. 


There are two pictures, one of the palette itself and then swatches. Although this palette is expensive its completely worth it, it contains all the warm toned shadows you will ever need in one convenient palette! Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar and Buck are very subtle and quite hard to make show up, but from half baked onward the shadows are extremely well pigmented and gorgeous don't get me wrong the other shades are lovely as well in fact I wear them more as I am a subtle eyeshadow kind of girl depending on the look I guess. The stars of the show for me are virgin, sin, sidecar, half baked, smog and toasted. This palette is definitely worth the hype and money so if your on the fence I would pick it up.

Soap and Glory Show Good face foundation:
I got this foundation as a gift from a friend and I have the lightest shade (the fairest of them all) there are 6 shades and I think it is a very good colour range, because there are neutral toned shades, warm toned shades and cool toned shades, however the shades don't go very dark or particularly pale so I guess thats a down side but I think that mostly this foundation shade range is quite good. 




What the foundation claims: 
*2-in-1 skin energizing foundation & primer
*gives a dewy, bright, flawless finish
*silky liquid texture
*longwear
*supernaturally flawless finish
*spf 15

I actually use this as my daily foundation but I have to disagree with some of its claims and I won't repurchase this for the following reasons:
its £11.
I like to change up my foundations.
But onto the up and down sides to the foundation, it is light coverage and had a dewy finish but wearable on oily skin like mine however it definitely doesn't have a primer in it at all or if it does it doesn't work on my skin I feel like without powder and/or primer it lasts about an hour and a half/two hours it does have a dewy finish, it doesn't do much in the brightening department, not a flawless finish because if your heavy handed then it can look a tad cakey. 

Ok so that was mostly negative but now onto the positives, I love that this is lightweight for those days where you want something on but not much and I like to wear it at school, the dewy finish works on oily skin not making you look even more shiny so that's good, with powder it adds about an hour and I haven't tried it with a primer but I will keep using it until it runs out gladly, its lightweight and build-able up to a certain point, a little bit goes a long way.

Sunday's Post- February's Wishlist

Hello! So I'm very sorry for the no posts all week since Monday but I have been busy so I will do an abundance of posts post tomorrow but today I am doing my February beauty/clothing/everything wishlist!



1. Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick in 107

This particular colour really didn't catch my eye as I looked on the boots website because it was shown as a bright fuchsia, which didn't tickle my fancy at all, however my interest grew in it when it was shown in Zoella's 2012 beauty favorites, and then I could see its true colour not a computerized incorrect version on the boots website and it was revealed to be a vampy dark red with fuchsia undertones, then I saw Zoe wear it a later video she did and so I looked in the down bar to see what she was wearing and it was this, I have still yet to swatch it or see it in person but I think that I will most likely end up with  this in my possesion.


2. MAC pro palette x4


I would love to have this quad for obvious reasons and I would like to put the 4 MAC shadows I put in last months wishlist, miss piggy pink, tete a tent, swiss chocolate and yogurt.

3.  Rimmel scandal eyes kohl eyeliner in black
I have heard only positive things about these eyeliners, there cheap so its not like I need to splurge so worth a try.

4. Rimmel Scandal eyes kohl eyeliner in nude

I would also like to try the nude one for my waterline.

5. Topshop gel liner in ink


I would love to try some topshop makeup and I'm on the market for a new gel liner and this is fairly cheap :)

6. Boots Simply Sensitive Gentle Refreshing Toner

Apparently this is a dupe for bioderma so for £2.69 I would prefer to try this first before splashing out.

7. 17 metallic cream eyeshadow in bronze
I had heard about these from a friend and I looked online and I decided I liked the look of bronze, and when I popped into boots to get some essentials I swatched this, it's a really pretty bronze (obviously) but the creamy eyeshadow itself is really different to others I have true in this once swatch I could tell that these are much creamier and more liquid-y If that makes sense you know how most cream eyeshadows are like a set gel this was more like paint in consistency.

8. Benefit how to look best at everything kit in light
This kit is so cute, the packaging is like a little book, but inside is a porefessional primer, hello flawless foundation, boing concealer and hello flawless powder and it's only £24.50 on feelunique, which I think is an amazing deal.

9. theBalm balm jovi palette.
This also has cute packaging and I have heard only good things about this brand, it has about 13 eyeshadows in it, a highlighter, a blush and two lip glosses and I would love to give this a go.

10. Top shop lipstick in infrared
I don't know if I've mentioned it before but I really like orange and this is right up the orange street, as I said I want to try some top shop makeup and there lipsticks are suppose to be really good, this is another recommendation from zoella.

11. Benefit Dandelion boxed powder blush
This is such a gorgeous shimmery pink blush that from what I have seen is nice and subtle and I'm not a very big blush girl but this is right up my alley.

So that's the end of this month wish list a lot of it remained the same as lat month as boring as that is.
