The body shopShade adjusting drops review

Hey loves welcome back to my new and improved blog hope you guys like it. I’m actually in Portugal right now typing this but thought id take some time out of chilling by the pool to do a blog post as this little gem has been an absolute life saver since I bought it and just couldn’t wait to tell you all about it.

So as you guys might know I am the colour of milk, as pale as pale goes the only way ill ever have a tan is when it comes out of a bottle even now while I’m in Portugal and my boyfriend now looks like a local (he has been mistaken as Portuguese by the locals) I look paler than when I arrived as my lovely bottle tan that I put on before we left has faded off so I am delighted that I packed this little gem of a product and that is the body shops shade adjusting drops in white, Unfortunately if I want a foundation light enough to match my pale ass skin I have to pay mad money for a really expensive high end foundation. Even at that its sometimes still to dark, which really gets on my nerves but this little beauty has saved me a lot of money and time now that I can pop off to the drugstore pick any brand of foundation I want without having to worry that it will be too dark. 

So how do I use it you ask? Its really quite simple pump out your usual amount of foundation on the back of your hand then add one – two drops of lightning drops and mix together with your finger I always start with just a small amount of the drops first then add more if I need (I usually need more) once you are happy with the shade apply to your face the way you normally would see? Simple I even add some to my concealer. 

 What I love most about it is it doesn’t change anything else about my foundation only the shade, my coverage and consistency all stay the same which is a big bonus as we all have different foundations for different things like some you want a dewy look or if you want a matte look it will stay that way even when you have added the drops.  And for my darker skin girls don’t worry the body shop also do a darkening one. 

Thank you guys so much for reading  

Lots of Love

Becca X Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop Review

Hey Makeup Junkies 

Welcome back to my little corner of the internet. So as you guys can probably guess I am kinda obsessed with Jaclyn Hill but in my defense who wouldn't be she is amazeballs and a damn good makeup artist so when she says somethings good you listen so when she COLLABORATES on something you will spend your last penny on one of her products (just me? oops) 

Jaclyn Hill was the girl to get me onto Becca Cosmetics and i fell in love (obviously) so when I found out they were collaborating I was super excited and boy did they deliver. 

Shimmering Skin Perfecter Champagne Pop   

Champagne Pop is the mother of all Highlighters there i said it I cant fault this product the shade is a gold shimmer with a slight peach undertone so it will look beautiful on most skin tones, I am extremely pale as in ghostly pale( only tan i get is out of a bottle) and cannot pull off gold toned highlighters but thanks to the peachy tone in champagne pop I dont look like im wearing gold war paint I get a gorgeous warm glow when i wear this, even my clients love it everyone I have tried it on went to purchase it after. 

I also love that it doesnt have chunks of glitter in it like some highlighters its made with ultra fine luminescent pearl particles (fancy I know) which makes it real smooth to apply.

Just a tip: a little goes a long way  

 

 

Hope you enjoyed my post leave a comment if you have tried this awesome product or have any product u cant live without.

love Danielle Xx

P.S JACLYN HILL IS COLLABORATING WITH BECCA AGAIN!!!!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL PEOPLE PROSECO POP IS HAPPENING!!!

trilogy skin care review

hey makeup junkies

welcome back to my little corner of the internet. so i have fallen in love with the trilogy skin care line i had first bought there rosehip oil and loved it used the whole bottle so went back to repurchase it which i never do as i love trying new things but this oil has completely changed my skin my face feels like a babys bum (in a good way) so since i loved the oil so much decided to also pick up two more products since yanno its a trilogy? (yea bad joke sorry)  maybe i should just get started on the reviews. 

Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

What i love most about this product is its all 100% organic rosehip oil thats it nothing more nothing less. now the company says that rosehip oil is best for scars, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles, i haven't personally tried it on stretch marks but i have used it on my old acne scars and you can see a big difference which i never thought possible but the most amazing thing for me is my dry skin feels like a babys bum my skin used to flake and just looked dull and horrible but now i have a bit of a glow going on whoop whoop \(",)/  I would personally use this before bed to give it a chance of soaking in.

Trilogy Mineral Radiance Mask

I have been dying to get my hands on a clay face mask but never new which one to get since there is so many to choose from, so as i was browsing the surprising large collection of trilogy products in the health store I came across this mask so decided to treat myself ( i deserved it ok) and I am so glad i did. Its great for all skin types and consists of rosehip (nourish and hydrates), kaolin(for radiants and deep cleansing) and pohutukawa extract (tones and regenerate the skin) also when i put it on my face it drys in but doesnt tighten my skin or make it feel dry like some masks i have used did which i loved. Did give the other half a fright when i walked into the kitchen with it on tho so bonus points for that.

Trilogy Rosehip Oil Lip Balm

I have bought so many lip balms over the years and loose every single one of them I swear there are tiny lip balm stealing gremlins in my house so i am keeping this one under lock and key as I am obsessed with it, gives me smooth kissable lips and i can now wear matte lipstick without that horrible patchiness that usually happens. This one is also great for all skin types and consists of rosehip( nourishes and hydrates) cocoa butter( soothes and give plenty of nutrients) and peppermint(for a cooling sensation which i love) you can wear this whenever and wherever you like i do pop this on instead of lipstick when im wearing a natural makeup look as it still gives a nice sheen to the lips. 

So as you can tell im in love with this brand already and to make things better trilogy is against animal testing so big thumbs up for that. 

I hope you enjoyed my blog post and if you have tried any of there other products let me know as im dying to buy some more

 love you guys

Jaclyn Hills Babies Review

*first off if you don't who Jaclyn hill is I suggest you educate yourself on this amazing woman and go watch her YouTube channel you can thank me later*
I never know how to start my post i always feel odd typing it for some reason i was thinking of greeting you guys the same way i greet my best friends but i don't think it appropriate to call you a bitch and smack your ass i just don't feel we are there just yet,
So the amazing Jaclyn hill and Gerard Cosmetics teamed up a while back and made the most beautiful lip products ever not over exaggerating they are amazing, buttercup is my all time favourite lipstick and topped with buttercream is my go to combo.

Buttercup.Buttercream.

These products are creamy and very pigmented so if u are just looking for a sheer pink gloss I wouldn't recommend buttercream it is definitely more like a liquid lipstick but much more moisturizing which I am a big fan of  as i love to wear each on there own and as a pair.

So the other shades Jaclyn created were:

rose hill – is a darker tone of pink with more of a reddish undertone than buttercup it is the shade I go for when i want a nice pop of colour but not to in your face.

1995 – is the perfect kylie Jenner shade and goes amazingly with MAC soar lipliner I always grab that pair when I'm rocking my inner kylie Jenner with my blue plaid shirt and ripped jeans.

top – bottom

Buttercream (gloss)

Rose Hill (gloss)

1995 (Lipstick)

Buttercup (Lipstick)

So there yea have it folks if you cant already tell I am in love with these products definitely the most used lip products I own  the only problem I have is Jaclyn didn't create any more *sad face* oh and if you are thinking of purchasing any check out Jaclyn's channel for amazing discount codes you will be glad you did.

so thank you so much for dropping by my little corner of the internet hope you liked my post and leave a comment and let me no if your planning to treat yourself to some lip products or even if you just want to fan girl with me about Jaclyn Hill. Night guys xx

Get Some Beauty Sleep,,

 

Hello dearie how are you? I'm sorry I didn't get a post up on Monday I had it started but got distracted by YouTube videos as we all do (so addictive) so I'm going to write it now hope you enjoy.

Over the last year iv been having real trouble sleeping i could never figure out why i was always tossing and turning and getting up at like two in the morning because i was bored trying to sleep but thanks to the internet and lots of trials and errors i finally found what works for me and I hope it will work for you too.

Cool It Down 

Nobody likes a stuffy room and half the time you wake up with a sore throat so try keep your room cool not freezing were your shaking under the covers unless of course you have a sexy other half to snuggle up to then its worth it.

Same as Always

This was the hardest thing for me to change was to give myself a bed time i no i felt like a child again but it helps if you go to bed at roughly the same time every night you start a pattern and your body gets so used to it by your “bed time” your just about ready to hit the deck. People also say to get up at the same time every morning but Damn girl i love my lie ins on the weekend way to much to give that up.

Keep It Down 

So obviously one of the main culprits in no sleep is noise I live right beside a main road and my room is at the front of the house and a pub is three doors down from me but that is not what keeps me awake what keeps me awake is snoring OMG he snores like a jack hammer and he likes to snuggle and no i am not talking about my boyfriend I'm talking about my dog and yes iv tried stopping him sleeping in my room but im a dog person and i do feel so bad for him so iv invested in earplugs and honey they work.

 Lavender Baby

As you may already know lavender is a very relaxing scent and can send anyone to sleep as it helps relax your body, I personally have a lavender scented teddy bear that you can heat up in the microwave (perfect for time of the month) i just leave him on my locker beside my bed and the scent lingers in the room, But if u don't have a teddy like mine you could use a few drops of lavender oil on your pillow and that should help.

Tea? Anyone?

Herbal teas like camomile or peppermint are great for relaxing i no the don't taste as good as a normal cuppa or a hot chocolate but they are so much better to help you sleep trust me.

 Scrub A Dub Dub

Hot Baths are great before bed as they relax your muscles allowing you to drift off into a great nights sleep if your like me and unfortunately don't have a bath a shower will work just as well just try not to wet your hair as having to dry it may trick your mind into thinking its morning,

Bye Bye Phone

That's right switch off your phone, Why? because the lights on your phone, laptop iPad etc. Trick your eyes into thinking its still bright out which leads to your body not winding down for you to sleep, 2nd of all if your phone is on and beside your bed you are more inclined to sit up and flick through Facebook or twitter and even if you have put it down and are dosing off and it beeps you have to check it and don't say you don't we all do it.

Lights out

The best way to achieve a good nights sleep is to make your room as dark as possible or wear a silk eye mask this will help keep you in a deep sleep instead of a light restless sleep.

My top 10 Skin care tips :)

 

 

(UGH its so hard to come up with an intro I'm trying to be witty and clever but unfortunately for you i am none of the above *poop* )

 

hey sweets cheeks how have you been? Honestly all iv been doing is sitting on my ass all week and I LOVE IT!! but i decided i had to turn of the Sims and be productive at least for an hour so iv decided to write a blog post. I was thinking for ages what i could write about and thanks to acne my teenage years (that was sarcasm just in case you didn't realise) iv come to know about my skin and what works so iv come up with a list of stuff that has worked for me and thankfully now i am acne free. Don't get me wrong i still get the odd unwelcomed visitor especially when i already have mother natures monthly gift but we are women and we march on because that is what we do best. 

So here is my top 10 Skin care tips hope they help…

 

Be a Water Baby..

That means DRINK WATER!!!!! I know alot of people hate drinking plane water and if your one of them chop up some fruit and add it in with some ice makes a very refreshing and healthy drink great for sunny days out the back garden, and no you dont have to be super healthy like that add some diluted juice or suck on an ice cube if you have to just get it into you.

 

Yucky Phone..

Your phone is filthy Honestly think of the germs all over your phone and you put that to your face *disgusted face* But all you have to do is wipe your phone with an average cleansing wipe and Ta’Da  Germs gone for now atleast do that as many times as you want a day I usually carry little wipes around with me and just any time i think of it ill give my hands and phone a little wipe trust me it helps.

 

Scrub A Dub Dub..

This one is a touchy subject some people have told me to never exfoliate as its a trauma to the skin but others have said its good for your skin really cleans it so for a long time i didn't exfoliate  as a woman in the chemist told me not to but when i went to my dermatologist for my acne he told me that was bullsh*t so some lady in a chemist or my doctor???

obviously my Doctor and honestly since iv stared doing it twice a week my skin improved i always thought i had dry skin turns out was just from not exfoliating so Scrub a Dub Dub.

 

Night Owl..

Invest in a night cream trust me on this night creams are alot thicker that a day cream as day creams have to absorb fast to allow for makeup application so are usually very thin so a night cream has longer to soke in so really moisturises and nourishes the skin.

 

Yogurt??

ok after reading what im about to say you might think im a bit nuts which i am but this really works “Natural Yogurt” is the best thing for sun burn if you get burnt smother the area in natural yogurt before bed it helps cool down stop the sting and moisturises over night to stop from flaking, Dont believe me just give it a try sure its bed for bed time whos going to see…

 

  Go Bananas..

Afraid of getting Wrinkles?? well fear no more Bananas are a great anti wrinkle mask, ok i realise i sound mad in this tip as well but it works trust me its an old wives tale my grandmother has done for years and believe me she looks fab for her age like as in wow. Mash two bananas into a bowl add a bit of milk mix it in and leave on your face for 15 to 20 minutes and believe me you will notice a difference.

 

 Pucker Up..

Exfoliate your lips…with a toothbrush i no i didnt believe it either but im very curious so gave it a go i applied some of my lip balm and with a slightly wet toothbrush i scrubbed (gently) in circular motions and holy moly it worked honestly it was amazing. I also bought one of lush’s lip scrubs to carry around in my handbag for when i feel my lips need a little scrub and it works wonders but will never replace my toothbrush.

 

Hair Outa There..

This tip is super simple tie up your hair in the evenings, one of the best things iv ever done and nothing to it just try keep your hair off your face as much as possible as the grease from your hair cant rest on your skin clogging up pores and causing pimples so even when your just lazing around your house pin it up.

 

Fancy a Cuppa??

Green tea is an acquired taste ok its nasty really bad the first time you try it but it is so good for you and your skin. Green tea is full of vitamins and antioxidants that are great for flushing out your system I drink mine with a spoon of honey to sweeten makes it a bit bearable , You wouldn't really need to drink much green tea if you had a healthy diet and that is an amazing thing for your skin the only reason it not on my list is because id be lying if i said i had a healthy diet i don’t iv tried so many times and failed my diet isn't terrible but also not great (I love Chocolate and ice cream to much) so if you are determined enough give it a go but me i think ill stick to my green tea at least i get to keep my chocolate.

 

Nighty Night..

I don't think anyone will complain about this tip.

Sleep, Getting a good nights sleep is the best thing for your skin, mind and body so I order you get that pretty little butt of yours to bed early tonight and get a good nights sleep…

 

 

Thank you for reading my little oul blog and i hope these tips will help so please like and follow for a new blog post on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays Love you dear ill chat soon xx

SKIN CARE!! My day time routine.

 

Hey makeup Junkies hope you guys are all fine and dandy im already pooped iv been painting all morning I'm really after getting back into it recently and its all because iv been following aymsdesigns and seeing her work really motivated me to paint again so thank you girl.

Anyway my blog post today is going to be my skin care routine mine is very simple and basic and it works well for me now i have dry skin always have but recently iv been getting an oily chin has that happened to anyone? its crazy im not really complaining because anything is better than having dry flaky  skin YUCK!

So the first thing i do is wash my face duuuh but i wash my face with  Neutrogena Visibly Clear pink grapefruit facial wash omg it smells amazing and my whole bathroom will smell of my face wash after its so good very fruity.

So secondly I will use my L'Oreal skin perfection serum which I absolutely love i apply generously all over my face. I have a full review right here so go check that bad boy out if you already haven't. As you can see i need a new one.

Now on to my next little gem is Benefit Its Potent Eye Cream I love this stuff and i never would have thought to purchase it but i got it for free when I went to stock up on my porefesinal but now I'm obsessed I apply to my under eye area with my ring finger as this applies the least amount of pressure because your under eye area is very sensitive but if you want something more affordable i recommend Simples kind to eye revitalising eye roll-on which is what i used before i received the benefit eye cream and it worked just as well.

So to finish off my routine I apply a generous amount of Nivea Soft Moisturiser I have been using this stuff for god knows how long I also have a travelled sized one in my handbag just in case. I also apply some sort of lip balm mine varies from Nivea to Vaseline to Maybelline babylips.

Thank you guys for reading I hope you enjoyed it and was in anyway helpful if you would like me to post a night time routine which concludes of a face mask cleansing and toning please let me no in the comments section so please like and follow love you guys xX

I also wanted to thank you guys for being patient with me for my lack of blog posts as i am going through some stuff at the moment that is very distracting but i will do my best to post more and you guys have no idea how much it means to me that people actually read and like my blog posts even if it is just a small few even if it was just one person id be happy so thank you

Detox Cucumber, Lemon and mint water

 

Hey Makeup Junkies how are you all doing? So as you no iv been doing a 30 day health challenge and failing miserably but the one thing i have stuck at is my Cucumber, Lemon and mint water it is a great detox for your body which helps with your skin and weight loss and ladys its time to start getting bikini ready and this little gem is so simple to make and tastes really good as well (bonus)

So if you guys want to learn how to make this bad boy please keep reading

Ok so first of you will need a jug of room temperature water the warmer the better as warm water soaks up all the nutrients in the fruit better than cold water.

 

Secondly start slicing your cucumber and lemon i used half a cucumber and a full lemon. After that is done throw all the slices into the jug of water and mix with a spoon just to really get the flavour out and don't forget the mint leafs in next.

Allow drink to sit for 15 minutes to soak up all the nutrients then you may chill in the fridge till as cold as you like.

Hope you guys enjoyed my healthy post let me no if you guys try it out and what you think of it also let me no what types of post you guys like to read be a great help for my bloggers block and stay tuned this week for my very first youtube video i will post the link on my twitter and facebook page when its up so be sure to follow and like my pages Thanks for reading guys and ill talk real soon

Yay/Nay?? L’Oreal Studio Secrets Primer..

Hey Makeup Junkies,

Ok so im back with another yay/nay post and this time im reviewing L’Oreal’s new Studio secrets Professional Primer now before i go any further i will tell you that this stuff is expensive it is €21.50 and the tub is quite small when i first seen it i wouldn't pay that much for it no matter how much i wanted it i just couldn't but thanks to boots and there loyalty card i was able to purchase it with my points (if you don't have a loyalty card with boots get one) so iv been using this product for about a week and a half everyday under my foundation its a lovely product to apply so smooth and makes your skin feel lovely and soft. At first i only put it on half my face to see was there a difference and yes there was my skin looked much better it even helped even out my skin tone a bit as i have very rosy cheeks i also have very dry skin and it tends to get flaky and what i love about this product is that it doesn't cake in my dry skin, its like iv put on a new face and my makeup looks fantastic i really do love this primer maybe even more than my porefessional..maybe.

I love this product very much but the problem i have is the price it is very expensive and i don't think i would pay so much for such a small jar ill have no problem using up my points again for one but id have to have a good bit of money to spare to pay €21.50 for it so this is a yay for the product but nay for the price.
Thanks for ready my darlings i hope you liked it and if u guys have any suggestions on how i could write better that would be amazing please like and follow me on bloglovin and i shall talk soon
