Best tan ever?


So the first time i think i ever used fake tan i remember putting way to much on and looking a streaky mess! Fake tan is always a risky one, your either going to look amazing with a great tan or.... your going to have patches and look dreadful! 

The trick with fake tan is making sure for starters you have a decent product. Now this doesn't necessarily have to be the most expensive one in the world! you just to experiment and practice and eventually after a few months of patches and trying out you should find your desired tan! 

I always thought they had to be higher in a price range to be good, however i was so wrong! While i was away i ran out of my fake tan, DISASTER right? I picked this one up which is the ST.MORIZ gradual tanner! And i fell in love with it! The price you can also fall in love with too starting at £2.99 which you can get at b and m! It really doesn't look "fake" and its a perfect tan and not too orange or wow in your face! A little does go a long way i have to say! Usually i put my Dove tan on and it washes over after the second wash. With this tan i applied and still after having 2 showers yes its faded but its still there which i'm super happy with! It's very natural and if you like your tan super dark you can keep re applying until you get the perfect look for you! It does say on the back of the product to use a mit which i would recommend, i didn't have a mit so i had to keep washing my hands. 

This will definitely be a re purchase for me as i love it! 

What's your favorite tan?

Cheap affordable quality makeup brushes???





So about three weeks ago now i was on the hunt for some cheap but affordable makeup brushes! I thought to have a nosy on Ebay which to my surprise i found these beauts! They were £3.85 so i thought " i'll try them and see" after all they were only what £4 so if they didn't work no big deal right? They took about a week to ship which depends on your location. When i got them i was shocked at the quality they felt even better on my skin than my Real technique ones! 

They came with 5 face brushes and 5 eye brushes there's a range of powder,contour,angled face brush, angle eye brush,inner crease brush, blending brush and a crease brush! i've most likely not listed all of them there and most likely haven't got any of the names correct but oh wellll. I'm still yet to wash these but so far i've seen no signs of shredding which is amazing! 

If your starting out with makeup and want a cheap affordable but good quality set of brushes or even if your not and want some newbies to your brush collection these are totally worth investing in! 

What are your favorite brushes? Are they affordable?

Best cleanser ever???



Hey lovelies! Today i'm going to blog about something that's been in my favorites a while and will definitely be in my in my June favorites! 
My Soap and glory peaches and clean 4 in 1 wash off cleansing milk has been treating my skin like a dream lately! I received this as a gift set at Christmas and recently started getting into it alot more! 

It's very thick so almost feels like moisturizer but not to mention THE SMELL! oh my goodness its amazing! I don't know about anyone else but i adore the smell of sun cream, this smells like a mix of sun cream and mint, it's just gorgeouss to wake up to and freshen my skin in the morning and just before i go to bed. 
It claims to melt away your makeup if of course you've left it when going to bed. I'm guilty of this i'll admit most of the time i'm too tired, too lazy or forget when i'm already in bed to remove my makeup.

I tend to apply this to my face leave it a min and wash it off. You don't have to do this and there's nothing i don't think saying to do this but its just something i like doing to make sure of course it does it's job and melts away makeup! 
All over it's a great cleanser and the best i've used so far! It sells at £8.00 at boots so not too bad for a great quality cleanser. 

Whats your favorite cleanser?

Everyday makeup routine!






So everyday makeup for me can go from full coverage or minimum coverage. With having the hobbie of doing makeup i'm always practicing on myself. So guaranteed i've always got some description of makeup on my face being major or minor! In this post i've shown you a range of products i currently am loveing and also tried to make it as affordable as possible showing you some of my favorite drug stores aswell. This might be considered alot of makeup for day to do but whatever the weather at the moment these seem to appear in my everyday. My makeup bag if your wondering isn't anything special its from Primark and i'm sure i picked it up for about £7. 


This just makes my skin feel super soft and i is a great base. I wouldn't recommend this is you have an oily skin type as it feels very silicone based.  Next i'll apply my Rimmel match perfection foundation  I've tried many foundations and this will always be in my collection. It's so light weight and kind to my skin honestly this stuff is my holy grale. So for many YouTuber's i've seen use this product, it's a total disaster! Many have said its sticks to your skin which i can agree with. I don't however feel this is a terrible concealer and feel if you use it in the right way you won't get too bad effect. It's also a no complain game of the price which is why i put it in this post.  The Revolution focus and fix liquid concealer 
It does the job for fussy old me and only costs £2 which is bargain! Like i said it's cool fool for the price. 


 Next is one of my favorite parts and that's contouring. I have a very chubby face so the thought of making me look like i have a real jawline? yes please! So to start i like to set my concealer and also powder the rest of my face. To do this at the minute i've been loving the Maybeline matte maker
and the l'oreal infallible 24 hour matte powder  they both work pretty much the same i just switch now and then but overall really great powders for setting also. Onto my favorite part now, For bronzer i use and recommend the mua bronzed perfection I can't actually find the link for this online right now, i picked mine up in Superdrug for about £4 at the most probably. if i find the link i'll link it.But this isn't too warm but gives me the right amount of warmth even if that day i'm wearing a warmer foundation. To blush which i barley do, i'm not a big blush person, i'll wear it but i feel most blushes are very harsh and not very bendable. The Revolution ultra sculpt & contour kit  This palette is such a great little thing. The blush is so easy to blend and build able. The bronzer shade is also something i can't complain about. The highlighter has always been and always will be my favorite. Reminds me ever so much of the champagne pop by Becca. It's a nice white shade and reflects glow and not a nasty harsh white line affect which some highlighters tend to do.  



Next up is my brows. Isn't this an important part in anything?! I personally can leave the house without doing these but only if i'm in a real rush. But for everyday makeup look i like too. I am quite happy with my brow shape so i only try to enhance them not over draw them. To do This i range between the Eylure eye brow palette
and the Urban decay brow bar They both work great however my Urban decay is slightly too light so i usually tend to go for this on the inner part of my brow and the Eylure for the arch and tail as it's darker.

For my eyes i do a typical look from my go to Naked palette 
Feel you can never go wrong with a Naked palette it's got all the color's you need and is so simple. It will defiantly always be a holy grail 

I use the Thick and fast soap and glory mascara as well as the wake me up rimmel mascara  They make my lashes look full and these are my favorite of the moment. If i wear fake lashes i don't really have a 100% favorite i just apply wispy's which over the top i will apply these mascara's.


So lastly is lips. And again another of one of my favorites, So for lipstick i've been loving the Mac velvet teddy I originally got into this because Kylie Jenner wore the shade but is quite a popular. You'll either love or hate this, I feel like i go through phases but i do overall love it. For lip gloss i love the soap and glory range. These really do have a massive affect on your lips! I love the sexy motherpucker lipgloss  for sure and have alot from this collection.

Whats your go to makeup product?

Simple foaming cleanser.

                                           
 
Hello lovelies! My blogging has been so bad recently, i think i've said that in the like last 3 posts right? 
Anyway apart from that "Beauty With B" turns 1 this week! How exciting! Blogging always makes me so happy!! I know i've been abit caught up lately with everything and blogging was the last thing but it was killing me not to be able to blog. Anyway i'm all scheduled for the future now! and i can't wait! There will be a blog post on Saturday which will explain everything! 

RAMBLE OVER. So lately i've been noticing my skin getting a few more break out's than normal. Normally my skin is perfectly fine and only really get the odd breakout here and there, but its been alot different lately. One thing i like to do to make sure my skin stays in condition is to clean my face morning and night with this Simple face cleanser. This sells for £4.49, i can't get enough of the stuff really, i've noticed a massive difference in my skin moving onto this. My skin always looks fresh and rarely get break outs when using this. I also recommend if you wear alot of makeup like me washing your face daily. It may seem a task but it really does keep your skin in tip top condition.

Simple is a skincare company if you hadn't already caught on. Simple include no added perfumes which i find great for my skin type ( sensitive skin ). If your looking for something to be easy and kind on your skin then i would 100% give it ago. I love their wipes and pretty much all their products i've tried. I don't really tend to use much else but simple!

What's your favorite skincare product?

Lush Rub Rub Rub shower scrub!




















Hey chums! So a couple of days ago i noticed myself getting very stressed out with my skin and basically with day to day things! I decided to have one of my favorite of all nights...... A pamper routine! I feel like sometimes you need to give your body a rest and let it breath as were so caught up with day to day life we become stressed out and that is why i adore this nights so much or even just a little pamper day! They really are important to all us girlies or even the males haha.

Recently i kindly got gifted the Lush Rub Rub Rub shower scrub, and let me tell you ITS AMAZING!! My skin typically doesn't react in a bad way to many things apart from anything in connection to Nivea or Johnsons! Already i'm a massive massive lush addict and am a big fan of their products! I've never tried a lush scrub so when i got kindly gifted this by a family member i was excited to try.

This comes close to my well loved Soap and glory scrub, In fact this is maybe my new favorite! This leaves my skin feeling soft and in great condition, this is so perfect fir after you've shaved your legs, apply some of this followed by abit of moisturizer and BAM you'll have the best skin in town! It's also great if your like me and use fake tan, you'll know its important to get it scrubbed off after. On a serious note this isn't on the super expensive side of things selling at £8.95, for me this ticks all the boxes and is perfect for the price! 

This is a really beautiful product, which i will continue on to purchase!

Battle of the shampoos!


Hey my lovelies! i want to start of by saying how sorry i am for not writing and updating my blog for a long time! For those of you who didn't know i finally plucked up the courage to start a YouTube channel and now i have i'm enjoying it more than anything! I've been super loving my YouTube and try and upload every Sunday. However managing my blog was hard as i only really had weekends free to do blog and YouTube! 

Today i wanted to talk about my favorite shampoos. I don't know why but lately i'm totally obsessed with getting my hair soft and smelling great. I have to admit i'm mainly boring and lazy when it come to hair! Most days my hair will either be natural or straightened which is easy and quick to do on the go! 

Aussie winter miracle - 
This shampoo is great for getting your hair super clean i've noticed when using this i only really have to wash my hair every 3 days as it doesn't get greasy, where as i normally find myself having to wash my hair every other day! I'm pretty sure you can pick this up at under a 5 er at boots! 

loreal elvive nutri - gloss - 
This product is so perfect if you like your hair to be very shiny! i love this for when i'm trying to get the silky look. When i used this i did get many comments on how my hair looked shiny and not only that i could notice myself! Only down  to this product is that the shine sometimes adds to greasy hair making it look 10 times worse on second day hair! This products actually have crystals in which i found pretty cool when i stumbled across it! 

Leo bancroft blissfully bouncy shampoo - 
When i curl my hair typically the curls fall out with my hair type, but since using this even if i don't curl my hair and leave it natural i have wayyy more volume. Any of you who love to have bouncy curls or even volumized hair this is definitely for you! This i received as a gift but i believe you can buy a full product available at Tesco! i could rave on all day but this is my secret to my bouncy curls! 

These are some of my favorite products that leave my hair in the good condition i feel it's in, my hair is like one of my priority's and by no means is it perfect but these definitely make a difference. All of which you can get i'm pretty sure under 5 pounds! 

Whats your favorite hair care products?

My Pamper Routine!

So around this time of year i love nothing more than hot baths and hot coco and cosy things like that as you will know if you've read my blog before ( you will have seen me raving about this cosy time of year) So today i thought id share i'd everything i do on a pamper night! 



To start of with i like to take all my makeup of to make my face nice and fresh and to do this i like to use the Garnier Micellar cleansing water which works great 

           

                                           

So a pamper routine is not one without a bath! I like my bath to be bubbly and hot so products i use is the Radox sleep easy bubble bath and i also use the Candy mountain bubble bar by lush which is reusable and able to use more than once. A half creates enough bubbles.





 Whilst i'm in the bath i like to use the snow fairy shower jel by lush as well as the Clean on me shower jel by Soap and Gory! Current fav's and leave me smelling fresh.





For washing my hair i really pick out whatever shampoo and conditioner i am currently using which is currently Aussie winter miracle which i'm pretty sure is limited edition for winter! I also use the Aussie miracle moist conditioner which always leaves my hair looking and feeling like silk and is also not harsh on your hair.





When i get out i'll moisturize my face with the No7 protect and perfect intense night cream, I really like using this on my face for bed as it leaves it feeling very light and nice for bed. This is however only on the nights i don't tan or else at this point i would apply that.



For the whole of my body i use the soap and glory moisturizer and  soap and glory hand food. I love both of these for moisturized they both leave my skin feeling perfect and pampered. These are my current mus have's especially with i being winter. More important than ever to keep your skin in good condition. 



To finish off i'm going to be setting a nice vibe in my bedroom and i'm using some candles which i picked up from Primark and Avon for under £10 

That's pretty much my routine its not as fantsy and big as others but this just personally get me relaxed when i'm stressed. I'll then just pop on some YouTube, read or grab a cuppa.  

What do you do when you have a pamper night?

Lush Brightside Bubble Bar



                                                         






So Recently I've been super busy and want to start of this post apologizing how long its been since i last posted. Things have been really hectic lately from mock exams to studying to Xmas shopping. The next few weeks i'm looking to get back on track with my blogging, i have a number of posts planned over the Christmas period!

So quite a while back now i popped into lush whilst doing abit of shopping 
and went a little crazy on bath bombs! But i decided to just pick out the main bomb i enjoy the most all year round and share it!
The bright side bath bomb from lush comes in a range of colours and scents, I believe there is 3 different ones, there the only ones i ever seen anyway. There's a pink, orange and blue as far as i know, their the only ones i've tried and i love them all!

This one of corse as you can see is the orange one and smells exactly like oranges too! This is not a bath bomb this is of course a bubble bar which you crumble under your running water and it then makes bubbles and your bath a lovely orange colour! This whole bar itself is enough for two baths and is perfect if you love lots of bubbles! As you can see from the pictures above your bath looks very inviting and leaves you very relaxed. It also leaves your skin feeling soft smooth and very moisturized which i loveee!

Around this time of year i love nothing more than a warm bath as the weather at the minute isn't the warmest in England.There are obviously many bubble bars and bombs in lush however this is defo my favorite one! 

However i've tried most bath bombs from lush and i love them absolute all the same! 

whats your favorite bath bomb from lush?

ELEGANT TOUCH nails






So with going to school i don't normally wear nails or have them done or painted, However in half terms and holidays i normally make the most of it! Even though it's the half term i don't normally buy or even invest in fake nails to do yourself at home and they either normally fall off, snap or break or i end up gluing my fingers together so normally i will just paint them or go to a salon. 

That was until i came across the "ELEGANT TOUCH" nails which are perfect! They are very pricey and do cost around £7.99 for one pack of them at super drug, but they are definitely worth it! These nails have two designs to choose from which you will see in the photos above. The first ones you can get is the nails with glue which are simple and easy to stick down or the ready sticky peel of nails, with the ready sticky ones they come across as the silly kiddy ones you used to get that would fall off after 5 mins however these are amazingggggg and last for around a 4/5 days for me which is great for sticky ones and also if you dont want them on for many days like me. The glue ones seem to be so much easier than the other many glue on nails I've tried and also last me around 1/1 and a half weeks!  They have so many colours  and sizes which is amazing. 

They are also not too long and make your nails look natural which i don't know about you but for me i always tend to tape towards the faker looking long one's. So was mice to have some more natural looking ones.


You can pick these up at super drug for sure and boots too!

My current favorite Skincare products!






So with going into the cold couple of rainy months i have been mainly relying on my skincare more than anything.The main things to me have been things like exfoliating,cleansing and moisturizing. These are a few products that seem to have done the trick for me so far.All of these products are drugstore and easy to get your hands on! 


1. Neutrogena visibly clear facial wash
So normally when i know i have to get up go to school or have something to do etc i normally like to wash my face not only does it wake me up but makes my face feel so fresh while, obviously at the same time its getting rid of all the dirt out of my skin! I always used to think that washing my face was so much hassle with all the water going in your eyes and the dirt but ever since i've been using this i've noticed a big change in my skin. This seems to do the job for me and while i've never really been an "oily" girl and never really broken out much i've always had the odd spots. But ever since using this my skin has been a whole lot better! Its smells very sweet and citrus' perfect to wake you up in the morning leaving you smelling very fresh.You can pick this up for as cheap as £4 or even cheaper if you shop around at any local drugstore! 

2. No7 essential moisture 
This moisturizer i actually have actually been using now for over 3 months but let me tell you it is amazing! It honestly leaves my skin feeling like baby's skin, it's so soft and kind to your skin and is a defo must for the cold winter days! I picked this up out the blue whilst shopping for some makeup in boots and i wouldn't regret it one bit! You can however only pick this up in boots though and is on the more expensive side of things pricing around £9.50. Which is quite pricey however its worth it! 

3. Simple kind to skin exfoliating wipes
So although these can't remove your makeup they are perfect for exfoliating your skin after a shower, a day out or even after bed. This is absolutely amazing for getting all the dead skin cells out of your skin! Your skin will appear very red at first but as soon as you add some moisturizer it goes down. These are about £3/£4 in your local drug store but cant be 100% sure as these were gifted to me.
