Afternoon with Charlie | Charlie Colley Makeup

Hello everyone, 

So this weekend I spent the afternoon with Charlie Colley helping take pictures of her and her client for a wedding. Both Charlie and her client allowed me to take photos and post them on my blog.

Charlie is a qualified Makeup Artist from Cheshire and she is finishing off her Beauty Courses at The International School Of Beauty. She used a variety of different makeup products and makeup appliances ranging from MUA, Mac, Rimmel, Sleek Makeup, Estee Lauder, Benefit, Max Factor and more. 

Charlie's client was getting married in the afternoon and wanted her makeup natural but effective and with it being for a wedding she wanted it to last. Charlie used a primer under the makeup and she also used some of her clients preferred makeup, her client knew how she wanted her makeup from the makeup trail. 

Charlie's client was extremely happy with the result and thanked her after the wedding as her makeup lasted all day! I had a lovely afternoon, the makeup looked lovely and here is a couple of pictures from the day.Thanks to Charlie and her client for letting me come along and take photos of the day.

My Everyday Makeup

I decided to do a little post about the products I use on a daily basis. I normally have a set routine but I sometimes get bored and test other products out. I tend to use high street products daily and I change my eye shadows, mascara's and lipsticks but always use the same foundations and concealers. 

When they run low I try other products or test out samples to see what suits my skin better. I have a different routine and use other products when I am going out such as a heavier foundation, primer, darker eye shadows and generally use more makeup. These are the current products I am using- 

Bourjouis Bronzing Powder & Highlighter

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation

Seventeen ' Brows That!' Brow Kit

Natural Collection Concealer

Natural Collection Lipgloss  'Caramel Shortcake'

Bourjouis Rouge Edition Lipstick 'Rouge Jetset' 

Benefit High Beam

Seventeen High Drama Liquid Eyeliner

Rimmel Brow This Way Styling Gel

Lash Princess Volume Mascara 

Mac Powder Blush ' Peaches' 

I love reading about products other people uses and I think its interesting to see what people recommend! 

Hope you enjoyed my little post and I want to keep blogging about cosmetics and beauty tips. 

Do you use any of these products?

W7 Makeup Review

W7 Cosmetics is a brand I have seen many of times in stores or either on the internet. But hasn't been a brand I have tried before apart from a couple of lip balms. I was lucky enough to be sent a lovely box of goodies from Olivia to review. 

Candy Blush
Angel Dust
£4.95

Candy Blush is a very subtle pink blusher, its a pretty baby pastel tone and is very light and natural. I would use this as a day to day blush but I personally prefer to use bronzers. It opens up into a good compact size with a mirror on the top, good for on the go use. It is the same size as a small compact mirror and the price is good. I would take this product to work to use but I don't think I would use this product on a night out.

Lip Paint Queen Of Hearts

Lip Paint 

£4.95

Lip Paint is a strong pink lip stain. I do love pink but I found this colour is too bright for me. I found that it dried my lips out BUT because its a lip stain it lasted well. I think price is reasonable as the product does lasts.

Chunky Eyes

Coffee 

£4.95 

Chunky eyes is a thick eye shadow. I have 'Coffee'  but it is available in 3 other colours. This eyeshadow has a creamy consistency and is a metallic gold colour. I do like this products and I think you can use this colour through out the year. I have used it a couple of times but feel like it will last well. 

Souffle - Blackest Black Mascara 

£4.95

Souffle is a mascara that helps to 'whip up your lashes'. Its is a dark black thick mascara, it goes on well and helps to extend lashes but can clump slightly if over applied. It does last well and comes off quickly. For the price it is a good mascara but unfortunately it isn't one I will use everyday. 

Angled Foundation Brush

£4.95

The W7 Angled Foundation is a lovely brush! It feels so soft and helps to apply foundation evenly. I do like this brush and I think the bamboo handle makes it strong and nice to use, overall I think its a good quality brush and I feel like it will last well. 

Overall I think the W7 products are lovely, I am really grateful to have reviewed them and at the moment I have my eye on the new W7 palettes which have been really popular. 

Thank you very much to Olivia for sending me the products.

Have you tried W7 before?

Ark Age Aware Skin Care Review & Steps

Hello there

Recently I was lucky enough to be sent some Ark Age Aware Skin Care products. I tested out the Age Aware Discovery Collection - Age Prepare Travel Sizes. These products are designed for those in their teens, 20's and early 30's.

 My first thought was how lovely the gift bag is the products arrived in. It would be great for a present for someone as its already wrapped so pretty. The products themselves are in a light travel bag perfect for short get away's. 

Inside it contains a set of 4 30ml bottles : 1 x Cleanser, Exfoliator, Masque and Moisturiser. 

Step 1 - Cleanse 

This clear cleaner contains Watercress, Nettle and Horsetail herbs which help to reduce sebum and help balance your skin out. It smells minty fresh and feels hygienic. I do like this cleaner as my skin felt clean and cleansed afterwards. But my only fault is that I felt like it dried my skin out slightly. 

Step 2 - Exfoliate 

I really liked this exfoliator it smells lovely, it contains Bentonite beads and Margosa leaf extract. It definitely helped remove dead skin and the beads left my skin feeling lovely and smooth. This is perfect for my skin type and is something I will continue to use. 

Step 3 - Masque 

The mask contains Kaolin Clay, Wild Water Mint and Anti-pollution Algae. 

I left the mask on for 5- 10minutes as it soaked in it turned slightly transparent. It smelt new and minty and left my skin feeling lovely and cool. 

Step 4 - Moisturiser 

This is such a lovely moisturiser it came out in perfect quantity and easily out of the tube. Filled with rich Avocardo and Peach Lipids it helped hydrated my skin. I gets quiet dry skin and I felt very rejuvenated and refreshed after using this. Overall for me it finished the treatment off and my skin felt very refreshed. 

Ark Skin Care Available - http://shop.arkskincare.com/

This product retails at £28.00. 

Which I feel is reasonable as the products are worth it and look luxurious. They are perfect for this time of year with Christmas quickly approaching!

 If your interested in any of these products make sure you check Ark skincare out.

Thank you Victoria at Ark Skin Care for sending me these beautiful products.

Makeup Revolution Products | Review

Have you joined the Revolution?

Since Makeup Revolution came out earlier this year unbelievably this is the first time I have tried the products! I have recently seen more and more posts about Makeup Revolution so I just needed to get some in my life! They have such a good range of products and the price is very generous. 

Full Vamp Limitied Addition Lipstick collection - 100% Vamps, Black Heart & Rebel £3.00 

Amazing Lipstick - Mystify £1.00 

Firstly I looked at the lipsticks and they have many different colours ranging from bright yellows, oranges to deep reds and black. I LOVE the fact that all the lipsticks are only £1.00 and are of such good quality. They last really well and are very hydrating with a creamy consistecy. 

If your a fan of MUA I would highly recommend trying these out. The Vamps range are 

very warm and deep tones whereas Mystify is a natural nude. My favorite is Rebel which is the plum red colour. 

Salvation Palette Hard Day - £6.00 

After seeing the Makeup Revolutions palettes I NEEDED one! 

Out of all the palettes I felt I would use the earthy browns and cream colours more from this one. It contains 18 stunning eyeshadows and at the moment my favorite is 'Its what we do best' and 'Not one for playing games'. A few have a shimmer and some are more matte but they last and blend beautifully. 

 Liquid Concealer Shade Medium - £1.50

I neeeded a new concealer and I thought I would give this one a try. It has a smooth liquid finish

and is perfect for covering spots and circles. It blends well and is perfect under foundation.

Its available in 3 other shades and since receiving it I have used it daily. 

 Viper Mascara Black - £3.00  

My last product is this black mascara, I have been using a mascara from MUA for sometime now so I wanted to try out a different one out. I think it takes time to find a mascara that suits your lashes needs. I will do a everyday makeup blog soon as again I have used this mascara everyday since I received it. It goes on smoothly and the arched brush helps to give your lashes more of a lift and extra volume. It lasts really well and is very precise unlike some mascaras!

My Cream Winter Coat

Primark - £25.00 

Winter is here, the leaves are disappearing and the Christmas adverts are reappearing..

Its getting colder and I have found a winter coat! This Primark coat is perfect for this weather. I adore it, its so soft and cozy, brilliant for the Christmas markets and these dark nights! 

My favorite part is the fur, it looks really pretty and you can detach it off the coat. It has two big pockets either side and buttons all the way up. I love the nude colour and I think they do it in different colours aswell. 

Have you found your winter coat? 

Hope you like it!

I love lush

Hi Guys.

At the moment I am really into Lush cosmetics, all the lush products smell incredible! 

I have all my Lush products on a stand in my bedroom and as soon as you walk into the room the smell hits you straight away, they all leave your room smelling gorgeous. I advise anybody who has never used the lush products before to find out where your nearest store is and pop in you will instantly fall in love with all the amazing smells. Lush do varies things not just soap ranging from bath bombs, makeup, perfume, body lotion, shampoos, hair dyes and more.

I have recently found out that lush also do parties and have opened a spa in Liverpool which I would love to go to. On my youtube channel I am going to be doing demos on all these lovely products so watch out.
