Bargain Hunting Haul!

Long time no speak! - I'd like to say ive been revising whilst I haven't been blogging, but to be honest, I haven't!   But hey ho, last weekend I went shopping to Liverpool with my friend Rachel, it was a last minute plan, and the 3 for 2 offer in Superdrug definitely encouraged us to go! So with not alot of money, I was after some bargains, and that, I found.

Have a peak!



Blush Palette- £1.19 from BodyCare in Liverpool! (* Not sure if BodyCare have shops in other locations too*). Generally love this, 4 gorgeous shades for anyone and a perfect price! Love love love1

48 Colour Palette- £2.99 from BodyCare in Liverpool (*) And again, how cheap!? Every one of these colours are really pigmented, will be using this alot.

Mua Eye Shadow (Purple) - £1 from Superdrug, Shade 18.

Mua Eye Shadow(Bronze) 0 £1 from Superdrug. Shade 30.

Sleek Palette( Acid)- £6.49 from Superdrug.


Lipstick1- 99p from BodyCare.  Absolute bargain, perfect summer baby pink!

Lipstick2- Shade 2.  £1 from Superdrug MUA range. Purple colour, excellent for the money and really smooth on your lips.

Lipstick3-£2.50 from BodyCare again, and is Collection 2000 '11, : Orange Punch'. Showing up a bit red but is actually really orange.

Lipstick 4- Natural collection from Boots: Pink Orchid. £1.99




Spray- £1.00 from h&m. Smells so so good! Pineapple and Coconut.

Revlon Pinch Me- Sheer Gel Blush 'Cheeky Cherry' £1.00 Market.

T-Zone Spot Zapper- Home and Bargain, around £1/2.

MUA Eye-liner- £1 from Superdrug  'Snow White'

Collection 2000 Mascara- £1.00 Market 'Black 1'

MUA Lip Balm- £2.00 Superdrug ' Kiss Me'

Funny story for you all here- when buying the 'Kiss Me' MUA Lip Balm in Superdrug, I put the balm down on the counter facing upwards so the man serving read ' Kiss Me' and then said 'Your to young for me, try again soon'! ha!


Hope you like these things as much as I do!

Marie Claire Magazine-Free Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain!

Hola! So today I was on the way to my Nans, and decided to go on a hunt for new magazines out(with a free gift.. still a child at heart!) and I discovered Marie Claire. I've bought this magazine a few times, and its Fab! But normally wouldn't buy it, today however, it came with a fabulous free gift which made me go ahhh!

'The Body Shop Lip&Cheek Stain'! I have never tried a stain before this one, and with this item normally being £10.00 from the Body Shop, I had to get it. The magazine only costs £3.70, with the free gift worth a tenner! Wooohoo! There are 2 lovely colours to choose from, a dark plummy red like I chose, and a pretty springy pink! And as I am so impressed.. I'm off to buy the other one tomorrow! I thought I would do a review on it, and I definetely urge you to go and pick one up!



Firstly the magazine itself, its 289 pages long!!! And very thick, which always looks good when you pick it up off the shelves. Theres lots of gorgeous adverts for new make up- which are amazing! Also in it, are fashion tips, offers, story's, pictures, much to my fancy! I love this magazine, and I think I shall become a frequent buyer..;). Especially since the subscription only costs £18.00, and we get three OPI nail polishes worth £33.00 aswell as Marie Claire! So glad I bought this-and it will keep me from going bored out of my mind tonight!


Next up is the thing I was most excited about, the lip and cheek stain! My first thoughts where that its great.. and my thoughts now, still great! Even from swatching I can tell its much better than other lip tints ive had a nosy at in shops. The applier on the end is just like a lip gloss applier, perfect for lips! At first when you put it on it looks quite strange, but use your finger and rub it in, and it soon turns out to be a gorgeous pinky/red colour, just like a lipstick. 


As for applying it to your cheeks. Dab a small amount on at first, and it will look quite watery and very hot pink, then rub it in on your cheek, and you'll get a gorgeous natural looking blush tint! Overall I rate this product a 10/10, THANKYOU MARIE CLAIRE!  x x x 



Toodles! x x x

April Glossybox- Natural!


Hello! Its currently 23:44 and I am SHATTERED-but Ive been so excited to write this post, and after tones of arguing my internet finally works, I decided to write it anyway!

So, this blog is about my latest April Glossybox! Incase you dont know what glossybox is, its basically where you sign up on their website, pay £10 and postage(£2 something, I think??) and in return, you will receive 5 fabulous products every month!
If you want to try out Glossybox: http://www.glossybox.co.uk/

This is my second Glossybox, my first one was the special Harrods edition. The first box was a tester for me, and as I was so pleased with everything I got in that one, I decided to stick to it. Im so glad I did! And in it I finally got a lancome juicy tube( a small one.. shh!!) which I have wanted for ages. It smells gorgeous, just like toffee! After this I was mega excited to get my next box.

So this months box is a 'natural beauty box'. Everything in it is green!! 'After all, green is the new black'. Have a peek at my products..





The first item was Caudalie S0S Thirst-Quencing serum -'This newly launched ultra-concentrated serum is extremely natural and plant-based, ensuring your skin never lacks moisture.' I love this! Its just like milk when you squeeze it out, looks like it and feels! When you rub it in, instead of that horrible wet sticky feeling on your skin staying for ages, it really goes into your skin. Your hands/body feels lovely after applying it! The  full size costs £29.00 for 30ml. I definitely recommend this to anybody and I will hopefully be purchasing this soon!...after I get some money, haha! It can be bought at www.caudalie.com




Next up is a fabulous eye liner- Inika Cosmetics Certified Organic Eyeliner. 'A rich and creamy consistency unparalleled in the world of naturual liners.' It is certainly right when it says a creamy cosistency, its perfect to put on. Its a really smooth line and doesn't drag your eye along when applying( which annoys me a lot when eyeliners do this.. so thought id say!) This is a fulll size, and costs £11.75. This product can be bought at www.inikacosmetics.co.uk






Ayuuri Natural Body Wash 'The Ayuuri Natural skincare range is based on fruit, plant and flower extracts that have long bee used in India to enhance natural beauty'. This is a body wash, which contains vitamin E, which helps to protect skin from radical damage. And contains coconut. Ayuuri is against animal testing, which is a complete bonus! Although all these things are great, its just the same as a normal body wash for me, and I don't think i'll be buying it again. The smell for me isn't all that good, and I can't really tell what it is!  I got a full size £4.95 - I will still be using it, and although it doesn't float my boat, it could float yours! www.ayuuri.com



Figs And Rouge Lip Balm - '100 % Pure, 100% Natural&100% Organic multipurpose balm. Excellent for soothing & naturally hydrating dry lips and skin!' The balm I got, was in rambling rose. Which the smell to it, unfortunetely I absolutely hate! But my Mum and Sister love this smell, so it is just me. This is the only bad thing I can say about the item. The consistency of it is different to other balms, its like a mush(sounds disgusting, but I can't think of the right word!). The packaging is adorable and I will be buying it again, but in a different one! The full size costs £3.29. www. feelunique




And last but not least; Kai Perfume Oil - 'Our intoxicating signature perfume oil fragranced with Kai's light, intoxicating blend of gardeina wrappe in white exotics'. I didn't receive as much as id need to do a full review on this perfume, but from what I can it smells lovely and naturally, and reminds me of grass! Full size is £41.00. www.beautyworkswest.com/cat_name/kai.aspx


So these are all my lovely products I have this month, Very happy with all of them. If your not already subscribe to Glossybox and get these gifts!

Hello, Hola, Welcome!

Hey hey hey! I'm Jess and this is my first ever blog post, be nice;)! So, where am I from? I live in Liverpool, but am not a scouser! Talking of scousers-who else is sad desperate scousewives is finished? haha! I'm 13 years old, and in my second year of high school. On my blog there's going to be a variety of different posts, everyday life, beauty, tutorials, hauls, fashion, styling and whatever else takes my fancy!

So, why did I decide to write a blog? Well apart from the fact I woke up this morning, after being rejected by my Mum to go on a shopping trip(which I was hoping to get the next book after The Hunger Games-Catching Fire, it is fab!:P) and being totally bored until now (17:05) after messing around trying to work out how to work this for at least an hour and half. So after my family decided to go out without me, my result of boredom came to starting a blog! I've been planning to for a while now, and the inspiration to do this is by two amazing bloggers and youtubers, called zoella and sprinkleofglitter. I have been watching both their youtube channels for a while now, but recently I was introduced to the world of blogging. Since then I have been reading them, and really wanted to do a half as good blog as they do! So here it is, my first ever blog post. Definitely not the most interesting thing in the world, but heyho, I promise it will get better soon:)!

I must say sorry for my awful spelling and grammar-it is awful hence me going to a grammar school! The amount of red lines under lots of words is terrible hehe!

much love, adios amigos!

ps: a big happy birthday to Beth, and thankyou for the fabulous party you invited me to!
