my wishlist #2

I have a feeling that one day, it will be so summery and I will have no clothes to wear.

This is a complete lie because I have summer clothes, but a girl can never have enough clothes, shoes and makeup e.t.c...

If you want to read my first wishlist then click here, I didn't actually end up getting any of the items, but I did get some similar, and some even better :))))))

1 Topshop Joni Vintage Jeans - £36. I absolutely  l o v e   these and I think I might just have to spend my money on these when I next go shopping. I think they are the perfect colour (not too acidy/ not too dark e.t.c) and the fit of them is beautiful. It actually kind of reminds me of disco pants, but denim?

2 Soap & Glory Face Soap - £7. I have just ran out of this, and it was like a life saver for my skin. I wouldn't recommend it to people with dry skin, because it is super drying but I use it on my t-zone to minimise the amount of oil. And it reallly works!

3 Topshop TAM Flatform Trainers - £24. I really like the look of these, and believe it or not, Topshop was the cheapest shop that I could find them which were still a good quality. Even shops like Schuh and Office had them for more. I also think that these would look great with the jeans and a white top with the sleeves rolled up in summer mmm...

4 Essie Nail Polish in Fiji - £7.99. I really want a perfect pastel pink colour for summer because I think they can look soo flattering. I have also heard a lot of good things about this one. Also, I have never tried Essie's polishes! This is like crazy because I have almost 100 nail varnishes in ranges of brands but yeah...

5 MAC Mineralise Skin Finish Natural - £21. I much prefer the packaging of this than others where the lid is removable ( hate that eugh) because its so awkward to do on the go. Also this is quite light coverage and not mattifing, which I prefer. It is quite a bit of money for a powder but there is quite a lot of product and should last me a while:)

Do you have a mac mineralise skin finish natural? Please tell me what you think of it in the comments!

btw i think my next post will be a haul from America!

Soap & Glory Body Collection / Review

So, over time I have collected some too many Soap and Glory products, a bordering obsession?
I haven't featured any of their beauty products, perhaps a separate post?
Some of the body products I haven't featured because they are duplicates, or they are boring ( face wipes).

I will try and make it brief, because I hate reviews with paragraphs and paragraphs after the other of writing...

The Body Products #1
Left to Right: Heel Genius (x2)   -  Smoothie Star Body Milk   -  Clean on Me Shower Gel  -  Sugar Crush Body Scrub  -  Pulp Friction Body Scrub

 So starting with the Heel Genius, its good. I am not really a foot cream kind of person, and defiantly not a socks in bed person, which is what this requires.However I do know that on the occasions I have used it, it worked wonders on my feet, and is very good value for £5.50. I have almost two tubes to get through, so I better start using it more frequently!

Smoothie Star Body Milk just smells amazing. If you haven't got this, or had a good whiff, pop along to boots and grab this. I can't describe its scent apart from breakfast kind of food? Anyway this is only £10.00 for 500ml! It also moisturises amazingly, love this! Repurchase? - yes, but once I have got through my other body butters. p.s don't you love the pumps they put these, haha?!

Clean on Me Shower Gel is a constantly repurchased product. The size of the bottle is massive (500ml) and very good value of £5.50 (a lot cheaper than a LUSH one of that size) and it still smells amazing. This scent is the classic Soap and Glory smell, the same as the Righteous Butter.

To be honest, I haven't actually used the Sugar Crush Body Scrub (£8.00) because I am trying to get through my lush one first (they have short expiry dates) however this does smell great, sort of brown sugar and lemon? (i could eat it).

Also, the Pulp Friction Body Scrub (£8.00) is quite nice, but I don't really like the scent. I think its a personal thing, because it reminds me of melon and I know other people would love that haha.

Face and Hand Products
Left to Right: Hand Food Hand Cream  -  Face Soap Clarity  -  Peaches and Clean Cleanser

 I think every youtuber/ blogger and their mum has used/seen/have/borrowed this product. That's because the Hand Food Hand Cream is amazing. Just is. The scent is the classic Soap and Glory scent, which is clean and soapy?! If you don't have this, you need it! £5.00 from Boots.

A very used up Face Soap Cleanser :(  I need to repurchase this because it does wonders for my skin! I have normal skin with an oily forehead (yum) and this completely combats the oil. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend this if you have dry skin, because it is an incredibly drying product. Only £7.00

I'm not really going to say much about this AMAZING Peaches and Clean cleanser for £7.00, apart from it smells so good, and leaves a lovely base for my make up. It was featured in my Quick School Makeup post, to read it just click here or to see it on the website click here.

 

Do you have any Soap and Glory products?

Please comment and follow, I would reallyyyy appreciate it! <3

Quick School Makeup Routine ( Drugstore/ Highstreet)

I'm going to try and write this post without rambling too much, sorry!

So I go to secondary school in the UK, and even though at some schools the rules are that you are not allowed to wear make up, you can at my school (yay)!

My Cath Kidston Makeup Bag which I keep my daily makeup in

 Obviously some days I switch up the coverage or lip colour or whatever, but this is normally what I put on in the mornings!

• I start of with Soap & Glory's Peaches and Clean cleanser to get off any excess make up from the previous day (ew) and give my face a nice base.
• So, firstly I  put on my Collection (2000) lasting perfection concealer - a high coverage concealer which is incredibly affordable!  (Sometimes I will apply a liquid foundation before this - however atm I prefer not to wear one)
• I then use my Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder to set this concealer and prevent shine. Because I am at school all day, and might not be able to top it up, this is the best one I have found to last all day!
• Then I gently dust Collection (2000) Blush So Pretty over my cheek bones to double up as a highlighter because of its gentle shimmers

• I then go onto my eyebrows, but don't worry, just a slight filling of brown. I use an Avon ColourTrend brown pencil. I think that these define my face more, and are more flattering than my natural ones! I set this with a clear mascara but I have no clue where it is from! (sorry)
• Then I move onto eyes. I firstly line my upper lash line with Topshop Black Kohl Pencil, sometimes with a flick and then the outer corner of my lower lash line.




Left to right: Soap & Glory Thick and Fast, Rimmel Scandal Eyes Show Off


• I take my Primark eyelash curlers (£1) and curl my lashes. I feel that these really help, and I never ever apply mascara without curling them first!
• For mascara, I am currently switching between two. They are the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Show Off or Soap & Glory's Thick and Fast mascara. Fortunately I have lashes which work well with most mascaras, but these both are very good!

• For lips, I normally go quite plain, because quite frankly, I don't like topping it up during the day that often. Side note: does anyone else find it awkward applying make up at school, or just m? lol. Anyway, I normally go for either Vaseline or a Carmex, or Natural Collection Lipstick in Lotus (Sheer Natural).

When I actually leave for school, I normally just chuck my powder, mascara and lip product into my bag or my make up case in my bag!

I would love it if you left a comment, and subscribed! I follow everyone back <3

I have no more blog post ideas, so if anyone has any suggestions, please say!

p.s I might not be posting as frequently now because as of tomorrow I am back at school and by the time I get home it is too dark to take photos, therefore weekends only :(
