2 Festive Party Makeup Looks and Products!

Today I'm going to tell you what products to use to create 2 festive party looks, perfect for Christmas Day, New Years Eve or just any party this festive season. Most of these products are drugstore/highsteet so they should be affordable for everyone! I hope you enjoy and leave a picture if you recreate either of these things!

LOOK NUMBER 1: Neutral Smokey Eye and Deep Plump or Pink Lip

1. I'm going to apply Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, to cover any blemishes, redness or dark circles.
2, Now I'm going to take MUA Blusher in the shade Primrose, on my cheeks.
3. Then I'm going to set that in place with Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder so that it lasts all day and/or night.
4. Now I'm going to use the MUA Undress Me Too Eye Shadow Pallete. I'm going to take the shade Lavish over the whole eyelid and the up slightly. Now I'm going to use the colour Obsessed in the crease of my eye. Then I'm using the shades Fiery and Wink just on the lid to give it a festive shimmer. Lastly I will use either Obsessed or Corrupt under my eye.
5. For mascara I'm using the Rimmel Wonder'full Mascara.
6. For lips I'm either going to use Max Factor Lipstick in the shade 710 Midnight Plum or MUA Matte Lipstick in the shade Pouty Pink.

Makeup Don'ts!

I'm going to tell you my makeup don'ts. Please don't EVER do any of these things because honestly you will look back and think "why did I do that!?" Take my word for it, you won't look good if you do any of these things! If you want, I could do a makeups do's video to tell you what would look good. I hope you enjoy and it helps you.

Don't ...
1. Apply foundation that is too dark or too light for your skin.
2. Apply too much bronzer or very dark bronzer.
3. Apply too much blusher or choose a shade that doesn't look right on your skin.
4. Put too much highlighter on so that you look like you are covered in glitter,
5. Apply concealer when you don't need it or where you don't need it.
6. Use an eyebrow pencil that is darker/lighter than your hair.
7. Leave eye shadows unblended.
8. Applying mascara too heavily and getting your eyelashes stuck together.
9. Apply eyeliner too heavily.
10. Applying eyeliner too far under your eye (only apply on water line, tight line, socket line etc...)
11. Use concealer on your lips or nude lipsticks that are too similar to your skin tone
12 Apply awkward shades of lipsticks that are either too dark or light.

Sheer Cover, Extra Length Mascara Review!

Today I thought I would review one of my favorite mascaras, which is...

Sheer Cover, Extra Length Mascara, Black/Brown, £19.95 
This is one of my favorite mascaras I have ever tried. It gives amazing length and separation and it never leaves clumps of mascara in your lashes. Even though it says it is black/brown it is definitely black. The look the mascara leaves is quite natural. Sometimes I also use a voluminous mascara with this to give it volume and a less natural look. The mascara isn't waterproof but it never runs down my face or smudges at all. This is perfect if you are going to school or work and you don't want to or can't wear much makeup. I would recommend this if you want long lashes or natural looking lashes.

I'm sorry if this was too short its just that I'm going away for a couple of days so I've had to write this the day before and schedule it. Please leave some blog post suggestions in the comments. Thanks for reading it and I hope you enjoyed it!

Lush Christmas Review 2014!

Lush is one of my favorite places to shop for bath products. This year I haven't really used many products but I thought I would review the ones I did try. I am a new blogger so if you enjoy this it would be great If you shared with your friends. If you want to try out any Lush products go to www.lush.com or go to your nearest Lush store. I would also recommend waiting until the boxing day sales for a good discount. If you would like more blog posts let me know what ones in the comments and if you have any questions feel free to ask :)

 Candy Mountain, Bubble Bar, £2.75/$7.45                                                                                            This is a bubble bar, so you have to crumble it under running water and it makes big pink bubbles. This is a vegan product as many of them are. It has a snow fairy scent, which is quite sweet, usually I'm not a big fan of sweet scents but this is really nice. It doesn't give you them most exiting bath but it is amazing for your skin and it just smells great. It has a light pastel pink colour to it. It has a slight shimmer to it but it isn't glittery so it doesn't stick to you. If you want a sweet and relaxing bath I would definitely recommend it! 

Cinders, Bath Bomb, £2.50/$4.95
This is a bath bomb so you just put it into your bath and let it fizz away. It creates a sort of dirty yellow colour in the bath but the smell is just amazing! It is exactly the sort of fragrance I like, basically it just smells like Christmas! (I'm awful at describing scents) It has popping candy on top of it so you can hear it popping as it fizzes. Again this is a vegan products. The scent is quite spicy but sweet at the same time as it contains almond, cinnamon and orange. After it has fizzed away you are left with a plain yellow bath but again it is just amazing on your skin. I would recommend it if you want a really Christmasy (if that even a word) bath!

Luxury Lush Pud, Bath Bomb, £3.50/$6.95                                                                                           This is a bath bomb so again you just pop it in the bath. With all of those amazing colours you can only imagine what colours it will make in your bath! I can't even remember what it smells like but it has lavender and a few other things I've never heard off in it, but it shares its scent with the Twilight bath bomb (also from Lush) which is one of my all time favorite bath bombs. This is also a vegan bath bomb. I would recommend this if you want a fun  or relaxing bath, its also perfect for kids.

Dashing Santa, Bath Bomb, £2.95/$5.25                                                                                                I haven't tried this myself but I bought it for a Christmas present (I'm not saying who) so I thought I would include it anyway. It has mandarin and bergamot oil and it has the scent of satsumas. This is vegan.          

Snowman Jelly, Shower Jelly, £3.50/$6.95                                                                                            I haven't tried this myself but I bought it for a Christmas present (I'm not saying who) so I thought I would include it anyway. Buchu, carrot, Sicilian lemon and bergamot. This is vegan.
