No7 Quick Thinking Wipes

Face wipes aren't something that I'd consider a necessity in my routine however I think they're really handy when you're short for time or just need to feel a little refreshed if you already have no makeup on. 

From the ones I've tried, the no7 ones are by far the best. 

Usually I use them to remove the bulk of my makeup before going in with a second cleanser. They're extremely gentle on the skin and do a good job of removing a lot of the makeup. They leave my skin feeling very refreshed! They're fairly good at removing the majority of my eye makeup too, however I do have mascara left on my lashes normally. Unlike some other wipes they have a plastic lid which prevents them from drying out. T

They're definitely something if repurchase and are very convenient for something quick and effect to use.

Going Out.

Now exams are over I'm going to try to go out more, especially during the evenings as I have a tendency to be a real home bunny. There are a few things I really want to do within the next 2 months or so.

1) Bowling. I love it, but have not been for years. I'd be interested to see if I have any skill with it or just be with rubbish. Either way it's a laugh.
2) Restaurants. Sounds boring, but there are lots I have yet to tick off my list!
3) Picnics. My sixth form is next to a huge park and we plan to go and have lots of picnic and play games when the weather is nice during our frees. It combines my two of my fav things - sun and food, so why not.
4) Go to the zoo. I love animals and it generally is just such a great day out!

What are your favourite things to do? I hope you enjoyed reading,

RT Sculpting Brush

I've had my eye on this for a quite a while after seeing many youtubers use it and rave about it so decided to pick it up.

It's a very dense brush and has quite short hairs, which is different to other sculpting brushes I own. I use it primarily for foundation and it is so good. It buffs products into the skin really well and helps to achieve a really flawless base. I find that it is a good shape to get into the nooks and crannies of the face and so is very good for buffing in concealer too.

I've used it for blush and bronzer also, however I prefer it for foundation. Its really good for blending in any harsh lines with my blush however I find that if I apply blush with it, it takes a little more work than it would do applying blush with a fluffier brush. However for bronzer it is really good. It blends it out seamlessly as well as creating shadows in the hollows of the face very well.

It's my new fav brush at the moment and has definitely made my love for Real Technqiues re-surface.

Have you tried this brush? I hope you enjoyed reading,

5 Beauty Essentials.

For this post I thought I would talk about my top 5 beauty essentials.

1) For me moisturiser is an absolute must have regardless of whether I'm wearing makeup. My favourite is the Garnier Moisture Nourish Daily Rich Moisturiser because it is so hydrating, yet not greasy.

2) Concealer is one of the only things that helps me look remotely awake and it is much easier to just wear concealer on a lazy day than foundation too. I love the Nars concealer which I spoke about here.

3) Anyone who knows me knows that I am a massive blush lover as it really perks up my face and makes me look healthy.  The Rimmel Lasting Finish range is amazing and although the colour 'live pink' looks really vibrant in the pan, it applies to be a lovely light pink flush of colour.

4) A brush. I couldn't apply a full face of makeup without a brush. My absolute fav is the Bobbi Brown Full Coverage Face Brush as it blends in product so seamlessly.

5) Finally, mascara. I find that no look isn't complete without a coat of mascara, The L'oreal range is fantastic, especially the Volume Million So Couture Lashes.
