25 Facts About Me!

Hello again! So this week I thought I'd do a 25 facts about me as I fancied doing a tag, and I feel like a full fledged blogger now I'm doing this!!

Anyway I thought I'd post some random and totally unnecessary facts that you probably don't need to know about me, so I hope you enjoy!

The Empties: Episode 4

Hi again! Today I thought I'd do a post on some beauty products I've used up, as I've been hoarding empty products for a few months ago and I thought the box I keep them in was getting a bit ridiculously full so I thought I'd make some empties posts out of them!
Before I start I thought I'd just apologise for the awful photo quality, I had to take them when I got home from school and the lighting was awful!

Current Favourites & I'm Back (again lol)

HI.

 Well, my big 'I'M BACK' post from two months ago didn't really work out did it?

So I'm making another appearance, hopefully I'll try and stick to some kind of schedule this time (but no promises, you might be seeing a post similar to this in a few months time apologising for this time not working out...)

If I'm honest I kind of fell out of love with blogging, I didn't really have any inspiration or motivation to post. 

I got a bit bored of constantly talking about lipsticks and eyeshadow (quite ironic, seeing as both of these feature in this post...), so this time round, I'm hoping to still write loads about beauty (because there's no denying I'm still obsessed with makeup), but I really want to include lots of other things I like, such as books, music, tags and things like that. So I'm all filled with enthusiasm and am really excited to start writing on here regularly again!

Anyway, onto what this post is actually on - things I've been loving recently!

A Rather Big Beauty Haul & I'm Back!

Hi. Remember me? Probably not, seeing as I've been gone for nearly six months. SIX MONTHS.

Anyway, I really honestly have no good excuse as to why I've been away other than school. I took a 'small' break after Christmas so I could revise for my prelims (Scottish version of Mocks!) but then I just never started the blog up again afterwards and then I got carried away...and now it's the end of May and I have just one exam left, woop woop!

Anyway, I thought I'd start back my blog with a good old haul, as I've found some good quality retail therapy is a good way to de stress from my exams! (not the best for my bank account though...)

To start off this haul, I picked up the L'Oreal Infallible Total Cover Foundation recently. I got after hearing so many people on Youtube talking about it, and I really wanted to try out a foundation that was quite high coverage. It's been around two months I think since I got this, and I absolutely love it! It suits my skintone really well, blends out so easily and covers so well. I even like using this as a concealer sometimes if I'm using another foundation and can't quite cover up my spots, and it covers them so much! It feels really light as well, and it blends so nicely that you can't even tell you're wearing any foundation!

I've also bought a foundation stick from Primark, as I haven't really heard anyone on youtube or the blogging scene talking about it and I really wanted to try it out. I think I'm going to do a full review of this, and I haven't really given it a proper go yet, so look out for that!

I've been running out of my Nivea aftershave balm primer that I use, so I decided to pick up a new one, and decided on the Rimmel Fix & Protect primer, which has SPF 25. I really love this primer, possibly even more than my Nivea one, as this one really moisturises my skin and I really like the fact that it has SPF in it, because as a 17 year old I have a real fear of wrinkles and I mean, you've got to start prevention early, right?

Morphe is a brand that I've wanted to try for ages, and after binge watching SophDoesNail's youtube channel, I was convinced to buy the Morphe M557 Mini Detail Contour Brush. This is such a good little contour brush, I use it with the Freedom Contour Pan in 03 and it actually makes me feel as though I know how to contour (not actually sure if it's improved my actual contouring skills, but oh well). It's so soft and blends out bronzer so well, and it's really tempting me to try out some other Morphe brushes, even though I clearly do not need any more makeup brushes...

Lastly for base products, I had run out of my mini Urban Decay setting spray, and really wanted to try out a cheaper one, as I didn't really fancy paying £9 for a mini setting spray when I could easily get a full sized spray from Boots for cheaper. I ended up getting the Makeup Revolution Pro Fix Oil Control Setting Spray. I really like this too, it keeps my makeup on and has a really nice spray/nozzle thing. If you can't already tell, I'm not really sure what else I can say about a setting spray seeing as it is a pretty boring product, so I'll just cut this here!

Onto more exciting purchases: eyeshadow! I bought the Morphe 35P palette after waiting ages on a waitlist, and it's so pretty! I got this one with ore purple colours as I don't really own any purple eyeshadow and I didn't want to get a palette like the infamous 35O as I already had a gazillion other shades just like it and I really wanted to try and wear more colourful makeup and thought this would be a good way to try it out! The eyeshadows are so pigmented and blend so easily! It's really good value for money as you get 35 eyeshadows for around £21, and I would definitely recommend getting on the waiting list for this on Cult Beauty or Beauty Bay, as it's so worth the money and I get so much use out of it!

Next up is the Makeup Revolution Flawless Mattes 2 palette. I first saw this on Gabby (VelvetGh0st)'s channel and I went right out and bought it as I thought it looked so pretty! Believe it or not, all of these shades are matte (not that you wouldn't guess that from the name of the palette of course), and I love this palette for school as I'm not really one to wear bright colours to school. I just shove some of the browns through my crease and a lighter colour all over my eyelid and it looks really natural and takes me literally 1 minute to do! I also love the pinky peach colours down the right side, it's pretty much the only eyeshadow I've been wearing for the past two weeks! I would definitely recommend this to everyone, as it's only £8, and the eyeshadows are so high quality and last all day without fading!

Onto the last products in this haul - more eyeshadows!

I got a little Z Palette for my Christmas, and I've been purchasing a few Makeup Geek eyeshadows to fill it up. I recently made a little order on Beauty Bay and ended up ordering 3 Makeup Geek shadows. The first one I picked up was Cinderella, which is a shimmery, light pink, champagne-y shade. The next one is Cosmopolitan which I think is my favourite of the three, as it's a shimmery orange shade that looks so pretty and I've been wearing it so much since I got it!

And lastly, I got a foiled eyeshadow in the shade Grandstand, which is a gorgeous bronze shade that is just so pigmented and pretty, I love it so much!

---

I hope you liked this little haul! I'm hoping to start posting again regularly as it's just less than a month until I break up for the summer holidays so I'll be free from school and exams so I'll be able to post far more regularly!

Anyway, thank you for reading, and I'll see you soon!

Skincare Routine // How I Cleared Up My Skin!

Hello everyone! This is my first proper blog post in a few weeks (last week's post didn't count, that was just me rambling away for a while).

So, a skincare routine! I thought it was about time I done a new version of this, as since the last time I done one, my skin has completely cleared up and it's all down to these products that I use every day! Well, at least I'm assuming it's because of these - I don't know what it would be because of otherwise!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

The Roundup #5 - School Stress, Shopping Bans & CHRISTMAAAS!

Hello! Long time no see! 

Yes, I am back, not that any of you have probably noticed, but I've been a bit erratic with my posts recently, but I've got my posts all organised, I'm made a rather fabulous looking spreadsheet (I'm a really cool 16 year old in case you haven't already noticed) and I'm ready to get back into blogging.

I'd thought I'd kick off things with a new roundup post, as I'm currently in a really chatty mood - although I'm not really chatting to you am I? I'm just rambling away to myself and hoping that someone might read it! 

Anyway, I hope you like this little rambly post, and don't get too bored!

Kylie Birthday Edition Mini Mattes! - Review

Hello, so I'm back with another review from Kylie Cosmetics! I almost died when she showed the limited edition birthday collection on Snapchat, and I knew I had to make an order.

Honestly, put 'Limited Edition' on anything and I'll buy it, I just can't help myself!

Massive Beauty Haul - UD, Kylie, NYX & More!

A few weeks ago I uploaded a non-beauty haul, and at the end I promised to upload a huge beauty haul. Well, it's time for that big ol' makeup haul.

Looking at everything, it's not even that much, but it all adds up to a lotta money, so I'm showing you it all so I can justify spending the money on everything!

Just before I start, I just wanted to say sorry for not uploading for two weeks! I know I say this all the time but I've had so much to do with school and stuff recently that I've had absolutely no time to write up blog posts! I really want to get back into uploading twice a week, although I do find it a bit difficult at times. 

If I don't end up posting twice a week, then I'll definitely upload once at least. 

The first product is the Urban Decay Alice Through the Looking Glass Palette. I've already done a full review and swatches of this (here), but I couldn't not mention it in another post, as it's so gorgeous. I do think this is the most beautiful makeup product I own, the packaging is so extravagant and the shades are so unique and cool. I've been using this so much over the past few weeks, and I'm trying to push myself to wear the brighter colours more, as there's just so many bright and out-there colours like bright blues, teals and pinks.

I also recently bought a new nail polish, because clearly I need more nail polishes. The one I bought is from Barry M, and it's called Beachy Keen I think? I'm not really sure as there's no name on the bottle so I had to Google it! My friend bought this a few weeks before me, and I really loved the colour, so I bought it because I'm a copycat.

This is a really pretty orange-y nude shade (think Kylie's Exposed Liquid Lipstick) and I've been loving wearing this ever since I got it. 

Next is an eyeliner from NYX, this is the NYX Crystal Liner in Crystal Hip. I first saw Shannon (Shaanxo on Youtube, you should all go subscribe to her, she's fab) use this in a makeup tutorial and I was so in love with it! I searched the NYX counter at my local Boots, and finally found it! This is so gorgeous, it's a glittery rainbow eyeliner, that I like to use either on top of or alongside my normal black eyeliner. It looks so beautiful when the sun hits it, as all the little sparkles all shine and it just looks so cool. 

Up next is the Instant Glow Bronzing Rocks by Seventeen. This was actually sent to me (that's right, your girl got blogger mail!) after I joined the Seventeen Blogger Programme, which is great for helping your blog gain more popularity. I've never used this type of product, so I'm really interested to try it! The product is quite shimmery, which put me off at first, but who really cares if my face looks like a glitterball? - Not me.

Then, one of my favourite new makeup bits - the Sleek Solstice Highlighting Palette. I know everyone's probably fed up about hearing about this but I was shopping with my two friends and it was sold out in Superdrug, then we noticed that there was 3 left in Boots - clearly this was a message from the gods. We picked them up in a rush and bought them, and I was so ready to glow like NikkieTutorials.
These are some intense highlighters, you literally need the teensiest amount on your brush! I'm not really into the cream highlight, and the purple kind of scares me, but the two on the bottom are so gorgeous!

For lips, I have two different products to show you! The first is the hyped up Kylie Birthday Edition Mini Mattes. I have a whole post coming up on these soon, so I won't go into too much detail! But wow, were these stressful to buy. I love my Kylie Koko K Lip Kit, and I thought by ordering these little mini ones, I could try out loads of the different shades and see what I like. In this little set you get Exposed, Candy K, Dolce K, Koko K, Kristen and Leo.

Next is another two products sent to me by the Seventeen Blogger Programme. These are two of the Mega Matte Lipsticks in the shades No Corals (a bright coral pink) and Rioja Your World (a dark burgundy red). These lipstick feel so nice and smooth to apply, and they aren't drying at all! Ii can't wait till Autumn so I can wear the darker one more! 

(That's such a typical beauty blogger thing to say, isn't it?)

The last two bits in this haul are skincare related! The first is the Lush Dark Angels Cleanser, which I bought at the start of August. I have used this every morning and it's helped clear up my skin so much, I don't tend to get spots as much now and all of my spot scars have almost completely faded! I  think I'm going to do a new updated skincare routine soon, as it's completely different and everything seems to be working well with my problematic skin! This is completely black, and has a bit of a funny smell, but it works so well and I use it so often that I don't even notice it anymore.

And the very last thing of the haul is The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter. This is my second tub of this, as I finished up my last tub a few weeks ago. My parents bought this and a few other bits for me after I got my exam results, as I had said I really needed to buy a new one. This is so good at removing makeup at the end of the day, it's really gentle and lasts for ages!

---

That is everything is this massive haul! I told myself I was on a shopping ban after buying all of this, but I'm clearly not strict enough with myself, as I've done one to many big shops in Primark and H&M a the past two weeks (whoops). 

Have you tried any of these products? If you have please let me know what you think of them!

Again, sorry for not posting for two weeks, I'll try my hardest to upload two posts a week, but no promises!

Thank you for reading, and I'll see you on Wednesday! (hopefully)

A Non-Beauty Haul: Disney, Books & More!

So. I've been shopping. I've been shopping so much recently in fact, that I decided to split it into two different posts! Today I'm showing you the non-beauty side of things, and I'll upload the makeup haul in a week or so!

What's on my iPhone?

Hi!  Today I've decided to do a post on what's on my iPhone! I see this going around Youtube a lot, however I've seen a few different blog posts on it and I thought it would be interesting to do this as a blog post instead of a video (mostly because I'm too much of a wuss to make a Youtube channel).

I have a feeling this post will be a bit long, as I have a lot of apps on my phone, so sorry!

My lockscreen is really basic, it's just a pale pink watercolour wallpaper I found on We Heart It. Sometimes it's a photo of me and my friends, but obviously I'm not going to show that because #anonymous and all that.

The front page of my apps is the basic Apple app-setup, everyone who owns an Apple product knows these apps so I won't go into them!

On the second page of my apps, I have a folder filled with yet more of Apple's apps that no one ever uses. In this folder, I also have Buffer, which is how I schedule Tweets, Gmail, which is for my emails (did you guess?), and Life360, which to be honest I have no clue what it is, my mum told me to download it so she can track my phone if I get kidnapped or something.

In the next folder, I have my games, which, I'm not going to lie, I play all the time. First I have Colour Switch, which is one of those games where you end up throwing your phone against a wall because it's so frustrating. But other than that, it's really fun!

I also have Where's my Water 2, which is when you have to create a little maze to get water to a little crocodile. It sounds really boring, but it's really fun! I don't play this as much now, as when you get to a certain level you have to pay, which I'm not doing!

Then I have Episode. We all know Episode, the app that is all over the place that seems to have really interesting story lines and plots until you download it and realise that they aren't even real. I mostly just play this for the Demi Lovato stories, but there's some other good ones on there too!

Then I have Jigsaw Bug. I'm a granny in disguise, I know, but I love doing jigsaws, they're so relaxing. I completed all of the jigsaws on this a few months ago, and deleted and re-installed it so I could do them all again. I'm a saddo, I know.

I'm sure everyone's had Candy Crush on their phones at some time or another! I love this game, it's so addictive and to be quite honest, I've came very close to buying gold bars and lives on this! 

Then I have Tiny Zoo. Now you may be thinking "Robyn, ar you not a bit old to be playing a zoo game?" No, no I am not. This is the most addictive game I've ever played, you basically own your own zoo and you can buy and purchase animals and things, and breed them and things like that. Again, sounds boring, but so addictive. I haven't played this game in a few months, but I'm so proud of my zoo that I can't bring myself to delete it!

We all know Best Fiends. Every Youtuber under the sun seems to have had a sponsorship deal with them, and I have to admit, I've been sucked in. This is my current addiction, I play it literally all day, and this is another time where I've came close to buying gold bars and meteorites. This is definitely not an ad, but Best Fiends, feel free to drop me an email - kidding. (I'm totally not kidding)

Lastly, I have Brick Breaker, which is when you're controlling a little ball that has to hit lots of little bricks to complete the level. Again, very addictive!

Onto the social media apps, I first have Twitter. You can follow my Twitter here (Selfless self-promo no.1).

I use Twitter all the time, I'm pretty awful at actually tweeting things, but I do love to spend way too much time scrolling through it and seeing what everyone's doing.

I also have Snapchat, which is personal, so you can't follow me on there (sorry!)! I'm also addicted to Snapchat, I use it all the time and I love seeing how ugly I can make myself with the weird filters!

Next I have Instagram! I have a personal Instagram which I use all the time, but I do have a blog Instagram, which you can follow here. (Shameless self-promo no.2)  Again, I'm awful at remembering to post on this, but I'm hoping to set everything up and start it soon!

I love Bloglovin! I use this on the daily, I love reading blog posts! Bloglovin link is here (Shameless self-promo no.3 - this is the last one, I promise!) 

I then have Facebook Messenger, which I use to speak to my friends. This, again, is private, sorry!

Next up is Youtube, which of course, is one of my most used apps! I spend loads of my spare time watching Youtube, and I'm currently thinking of doing a post of my current favourite bloggers and Youtubers, so let me know if that's something you'd like to see?

Of course, I've got Netflix. How would I cope without it? My top Netflix recommendations are Pretty Little Liars (Obviously - I'm still a mess over that Ezria proposal), American Horror Story, and Once Upon a Time!
I also have Quiz Up, which is basically you versing people all over the world on thousands of different quiz topics. This is another addictive game, and I'm a champion at Disney Princesses (just saying).

I also have the Boots Advantage Card app, which shows me deals in Boots that I can get with my Advantage Card. This is really good as I can get really good discounts on different makeup, skincare and haircare bits in Boots. However, it does end up making me want to spend £5 on toothpaste just so I can get 500 points on my card...

We Heart It is another app on my phone. I don't really use this much, but I do like to use it to find new wallpapers for my phone.
I also have Afterlight, which is the editing app I use to edit my blog photos. This does cost money, but it's such a good app, and I use it all the time!

Whitagram is another editing app I like to use. I normally use this to brighten photos or to edit the photos that are always at the start of each of my blog posts. This is free and I would totally recommend this if you don't want to pay for Afterlight.

VSCO Cam is the last editing app on my phone! This is another app I don't really use, but everyone seems to love it so I'm trying to gt into it and use it more, but to be honest, I don't get how it works and I'd much rather use my other editing apps if I'm honest!
Phonto is the app that I use to add font to my photos. I download all of my fonts from Dafont (if you're wondering), and I use this app all the time!

I have EE, which is my phone's network. This is quite a boring one, as I only ever go on this to check if I've went over my data limit for the month.
I also have Covet Fashion, which I talked about ages ago in my April Favourites. This is an app where you can enter different fashion competitions and dress up your little character and buy clothes and talk to other users. It's really fun and also incredibly addictive.

I recently downloaded GoodReads, which I've heard a few people talking about. This is an app where you can search up practically any book and read reviews written by other people. You can also write your on reviews and rate books, which I love doing. This is really helpful for me when I'm unsure whether to buy a book or not, I just look at the reviews for it and then decide if I want it or not!

Lastly, I have PicCollage, which I use to make different collages. I love using this as it's free and you can d loads of different stuff on it! This is the app that I use to make the little collages for my Roundup posts, too!

So that is what apps are on my iPhone! I hope this post wasn't too boring! 

And sorry for not posting on Sunday, I had a last-minute essay to write for english and didn't have time to type up a post! (That's right, I'm back at school. *sobs*)

Anyway, thank you for reading, and I'll see you on Sunday!

The Emergency Beauty Bag

Seeing as some of us are going back to school in a few weeks *sob*, I thought I would put together a post on the little 'emergency bag' I carry around in my bag for school. This contains practically everything you would need for school, from makeup top-ups, to plasters!

For makeup, I tend to carry around the products that need to be reapplied throughout the day. 

So the first product I carry around is a concealer. The one in the photo is the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, which I love. I normally use my MAC Pro Longwear Concealer for school and use the Collection concealer for top-ups during the day.

I also carry a powder, because if I don't reapply powder halfway through the day, then I look like a greasy mess by the time I get home. I'm using the Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot Powder just now, which I've hit pan on! I'll most likely just put this in the emergency bag to finish it up, and buy a new Rimmel Stay Matte for my makeup drawers for me to use everyday. I also carry a powder brush around to apply it!

For lips, I usually carry some sort of lip balm and lip product. The Maybelline Baby Lips are really good for no-makeup days, as they're slightly tinted and help moisturise your lips. I also carry about a lipstick or lipgloss that I like. I usually use the L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in J-Lo's Nude, as it's a really pretty pinky-nude shade.

No one wants to stink during school, so I carry around a mini can of deodorant just in case.

I also carry a little perfume sample, this is the Ariana Grande perfume that I love. I normally carry about a body spray with me too, but that's too big to fit inside the makeup bag.

Hand sanitiser is an essential for those times where you accidentally touch a piece of chewing gum under your desk. I normally use the Bath and Body Works ones, as they're the only ones I have. This one is called A Thousand Wishes and smells really nice!

We're all girls here, so I think all of us carries at least one pad/tampon around with them in school. You don't know when mother nature will decided to bless you with your period, so it's good to be prepared!

I also carry around a small stash of plasters and paracetamol. I'm prone to paper cuts, so plasters are an essential for me, as are paracetamol when said mother nature blesses you with not only your period, but cramps too.

I carry a couple of hair baubles around with me, as my hair is really thick and frizzy, and if I don't have time to straighten it, then I most likely just shove it up in a bun in school. To go along with this, I carry a few kirby grips!

I also carry tissues, because everyone needs tissues!

Chewing gum is also a big essential for me, I normally carry a packet in my blazer, but this is my emergency chewing gum for when I don't have any left. That's quite sad, isn't it?

Lastly, I carry some money around with me just in case I need it, whether it be for lunch or a bus or train ticket.

I hope this post was helpful to you! I love reading posts like this, and I thought it would be helpful for people like me, who are going back to school soon. 

Thank you for reading, and I'll see you soon!

Clothing Wishlist - August

Hi! Today I've decided to do another wishlist! I do beauty wishlists a lot but I decided to switch it up a bit and do a clothing wishlist instead. Over the past few weeks, I've found myself browsing Missguided, Topshop and Asos a lot! I'm not going to lie, I hate buying clothes, as they're so expensive! But there's no harm in filling up your basket with clothes and then emptying it when you realise you can't afford any of it, is there?

The Roundup #4 - Baking Disasters, Exam Results, & New Kylie Releases!

Hello my lovelies! I thought it was about time I done another Roundup post, as the last time I done one was in April!

I have quite a few things to talk about with you, so I hope you enjoy!

Urban Decay x Alice Through the Looking Glass Palette: Review and Swatches

After weeks of stalking Debenhams and House of Fraser, checking every corner of the internet, and unsuccessfully trying to order it from Sephora.com, I finally managed to get my hands on the limited edition Urban Decay x Alice Through the Looking Glass Palette. 

I'll explain how I managed to get it later in the post, but I thought I would do a big post showing you swatches and give you my thoughts on this!

Unfortunately the palette is almost impossible to get in the UK now, it seems to be sold out everywhere, sorry!

The Book Edit - The Best and Worst

Hi! I thought I would take a small break from the normal beauty-orientated uploads and do a book themed post, which I've wanted to do for ages! I want to make this type of post a little series, where I discuss my current favourite books and my biggest book disappointments.

In this post, I'll be talking about 5 books: 3 great books, and 2 not-so-great ones, so I hope you enjoy! 

And don't worry, there's no spoilers!
