I adored this vanity box because of the pretty pink flamingos on the outside, as I’m doing a flamingo theme the moment, Also got a flamingo keyring to attach to the outside and a flamingo pen. There are also mini travel bags adorned with flamingos! Its such a girly and pretty theme.

Portable Size: 9.44 inch x 6.5 inch x 7.5 inch.

Portable & Lockable ! Rest assured your belongings are safe, such as your lipsticks and eyeshadows from small sticky fingers.

Mirror attached on top tray for convenient makeup application

Stain-proof plastic films lay on both tray bottom and case bottom

I was surprised at the quality of the make-up case, it was better quality of what I thought it would be and the stain proof plastic at the bottom of the trays is a good touch as most boxes get dirty with make-up spillage etc… I am interested in a few other boxes from the same maker such as the gold marble rose with a shoulder strap ( click here ) to see! for a beauty professional such as myself vanity cases and storage boxes are very important for my tools and I have been through so many of them in the past. So I have an eye for good quality storage and wanted to share my finds with my readers!

Your guide to Different foundation types | Youtube videos & tips and tricks 🤔😁✨💄

We all have a different way of applying our foundation, we all have our mix of shades we like to use. Some of us stick to the sane old liquid or cream foundation for years but they are many different types to give a try.

Spray foundation ..

Who wouldn’t want to quickly spray on foundation then go ? Spray foundation seems like a dream, with spray foundation brands claiming perfect covered and an airbrushed look. A lot of girls need a bit of time to get the hang of spraying on foundation and usually just opt for spraying it onto a brush and applying the old fashioned way, a lot of girls also hate the product wastage that comes with spraying and also foundation going on hair and clothes. Yet again there others who absolutely love this type of foundation but it’s all about what works best for you.

Liquid.. Most of us girls will probably only have liquid foundation as this is the most popular form of foundation here in the UK, you apply with a brush or sponge. Although for people with problematic skin this can be flaky and cracked and give a bad result.

Stick. …

Stick foundation is very small to carry around and is perfect for on the go, you can apply it by hand or sponge or brush. Stick foundation is probably the least popular form of foundation ever.

Mineral Powder. …

If you have sensitive, oily and blemish-prone skin types you may benefit from using mineral foundation, it also doesn’t land in your creases which will help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. This is the best for me of foundation if you have acne.

Tinted Moisturiser. …

A tinted moisturiser is exactly that, it moisturises with a slight tint to make your complexion look blemish free and provide a small but of coverage. This is an option for people who want just a slight bit of coverage and don’t have time for other foundations. Tinted moisturisers are lightweight and great for the winter months, there are many tinted moisturisers on the market that contain skin loving ingredients.

BB Cream. …

Originally developed in Germany as an all-in-1 cream to be used in a patient’s post-laser treatment skincare plan !

BB cream is short for ‘blemish balm‘ cream. It’s a versatile combination of products such as moisturizer, primer, SPF, foundation, skin treatment, and concealer.

CC Cream…

CC cream stands for color correcting cream or complexion corrector cream. Like BB cream, CC creams typically serve multiple purposes—however, unlike BB cream, CC cream usually provides a little more coverage to disguise imperfections like dark spots or redness. Because CC creams offer more coverage than BB creams, they tend to have thicker, heavier formulas. CC cream is often best for aging skin that might need more coverage to help smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Barry m | neon brights pallete | review + Swatches 🤔👎🤦‍♀️

This eyeshadow pallete retails at £7.99 instore and online, I was given this pallete as a gift and was very happy with it as I love neon eyeshadows… only to find that only about 2 shades in the pallete are actually neon… wtf ??

I hate misleading marketing and as blogger its my job to do reviews and give my honest opinion on products and this product is a big no no… I don’t understand how any body can get away with calling a pallete neon brights when only 2 shades are actually bright!

I would no recommend this pallete at all, some of the shades are so pastel they are weak and then some shades have some glitter in them which it does not state on the front. Barry M has lost me on this one. Its very plain to see they are ripping off thier fans by misleadingly calling it ” neon brights” there’s no way that’s neon at all.

When I done some swatches on my arm I used a camera flash and the only two shades that came up bright were the glittery yellow and the pale blue, under my camera light the pallette/swatches does look brighter but in real lighting the shades are so weak. Big disappointment ! I don’t think its possible to create neon eye looks with this product at all ;(

The shades I like the most are scorched and laser beam but overall I don’t like this pallette at all, its not bright enough for me. What are your opinions on this ?

How to clean your make-up brushes step by step 👀😝🙋‍♀️

You should aim to clean your makeup brushes at least once a week, unclean brushes can cause breakouts, skin irritation and worsen acne 😯

What’s the point in putting on fresh new makeup with dirty old brushe’s… ewww

What you will need :

Your sink

Baby wipes

Baby shampoo

Towel

Step 1

Rinse your makeup brushes under the cold tap for a few seconds then lay each of them out on the towel. This will rid the dirt from the handles. Give them a wipe with the baby wipes all over the handle.

Step 2

Pick up each individual brush and put under the hot tap ( not too hot) give the bristles an bit of a bath just like you would washing your own hair. Get your baby shampoo and shampoo the bristles! Try to hold the brush pointing down the way to avoid hot water getting on the connecting part of your brush as this can loosen your brush and break it by melting the glue that holds it together.

Step 3

After shampooing all your brushes under the warm tap with baby shampoo and laying each of them down on the towel, do it again this time with cold water and no shampoo. This step is just a final rinse to get rid of residue. Then go over each finally with a bay wipe. They will still be damp.

Step 4

Parcel your brushes in the towel and towel dry them as best you can then you can leave them on the towel to air dry, or leave near a heater. You can also use a hairdryer if you want them dry fast and …like wallahh that’s it !
