NYX Gotcha Covered Concealer Review

 Hey Guys, so recently I discovered the NYX Gotcha covered concealer. I bought this in the mindset that it would be a good product, seen as though I've recently become obsessed with store NYX.    

So, I urgently needed a new concealer and saw this one at the price of £5.50, which I thought was a reasonably good price seen as though my old one was a lot dearer. Now this concealer is only small at 8ml, however it is a concealer and will only be used to cover small discolored areas underneath the eyes, around the nose and on red marks. I bought the shade in  ivory which is the lightest shade out of the collection and surprisingly think it goes well with my skin.

When I first used this concealer, I thought you would need quite a bit of the product. However this was not the case, seen as though the more you put on the more cakey the product it is, so only a little amount is needed. To get rid of the cakiness , applying some loose powder does the trick:) This product is really easy to blend out with a beauty blender and gives a full coverage.    

The only issue , I have the with product is that it can come across abit oily. So if your someone with natrually oily skin I probably wouldn't recommend this product but other than that i think it is great to use as a cheap,drugstore concealer. 

First opinions are defiantly a hit!   

Please comment, telling me what your favourite concealer is, I'm intrigued to find out more!

My Favourite Book

I am not a reader never have been and probably won't be (well as keen as others) anyway when I go on holiday I always buy some books to take and this year was no different but I didn't realise how much I would love the book I downloaded as much as I did I could not put it down and that is unusual for me. I can read more books on holiday but not as quickly as I have these two.

So your prpoably wondering what the book is now well it is by Erin Watt and the first book of the series is called Paper Princess (seen below)

(I haven't added my own image as I downloaded the book on kindle)

"Wealth. Excess. Deception. It’s like nothing Ella has ever experienced, and if she’s going to survive her time in the Royal palace, she’ll need to learn to issue her own Royal decrees."

I would not recommend this book to anyone under the age of 16 mainly because of some of the context but the storyline is as similar to the typical YA book at the moment. Mainly because, even though books about mental health and issues are eye opening to read I love a book where its sort of like my fantasy and this book is exactly what I needed on my holiday. I absolutely love this book and if you are looking for a romance story which isn't to hard to read and is more of a dream romance then I can't recommend this enough.

If you think this intrigues you then definitely check it out on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Paper-Princess-Royals-Erin-Watt/dp/1682304566/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473441550&sr=8-1&keywords=paper+princess

I don't really know what else to say if you want to know more just ask me a question...

Thanks Lovelies :)

Made some cakes that finally worked......🎂🎂

You may or may not have known that we used to have a blog and on that blog I made some very bad cupcakes which I sort of joked about saying "how not to make cupcakes" but I wanted to almost christen this blog with a baking post and I was praying that this one would work and not fail as it was just typical that the bake didn't work.

Anyway, just a bit of back story that everyone loves. So I used the recipe below:




110g Butter
110g Sugar
110g Self- Raising Flour
less than 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 medium eggs
1 tub Betty Crocker Cream Cheese Style Icing





This recipe is very simple and easy to follow by first cream sugar and butter together.

Then mix in eggs with vanilla extract.

Sift in flour with baking powder mix all together till smooth then separate into cases.

I've found the best way to separate evenly into cases is to use an ice cream scoop especially those ones that are round.

Anyway, bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown when knife inserted and comes out clean.

Leave to cool for 10 minutes or longer.

Whilst cooling either prepare piping bag or you can use the technique I used to ice by applying the Cream Cheese Icing then spreading with spoon and spiralling around to create desired style.

Hope you liked this post let me know your favourite cupcakes flavours in the comments.

Thanks lovelies

Gradual Glow

Dove Summer Glow Lotion    

Hello everyone!!! Now we are currently in the middle of August, and if your in Britain like us, you will realize its hard to keep up a natural glowing tan! As you probably know Britain is full of rain and very little sun! So I thought why not show you guys an alternate way to keep a consistent tan cheaply.  This product is from Dove, and is only £2.00 from Superdrug! It is a gradual moisturizing lotion. which keeps you glowing all year round!  

This is a 250ml bottle, and does last a long time! I usually tend to apply this, the day before i want the tan to show up. As you can see this colour is for normal to dark skin, however it is brilliant as it creates a natural looking tan, which looks like you have just come back of your holidays. What I love about this tan, is that you can go in the shower, and scrub yourself as much as you like, and it will still be on once you have stepped out. You are supposed to apply this tan on a daily basis, however even after applying this tan once or twice, you can still guarantee it will be on in the next few days. Therefore lots of coats aren't necessary.       

Off on holiday

Well, I thought that going on holiday would escape this UK weather but hearing that we are supposed to have a heatwave whilst I am away is a little bit annoying but I'm still so excited to go and so excited that I thought I would show you what I'm taking and some little tricks whilst packing.

• Tip Number 1

Make sure you have got all the clothes you want to take washed before you go or start packing.

a) because your suitcase won't smell as there is nothing worse than opening your suitcase up to a horrible smell.

b) so that you can arrange your case without having to worry about adding clothes in at the end so that there is no creased clothes from slotting in newly washed clothes.
