How to do a great makeup look for under £20

Lets pretend we have only £20 and we have to buy: Foundation; Blush; Mascara and a Lip product (Lip Gloss or Lipstick)

Foundation: Miss Sporty So Energetic Foundation £3.49
WE <3 THIS so cheap but for the price its useable its not as great as some others but a lot cheaper

TOTAL SO FAR: £3.49

Blush: 2true Blusher True Colour 1 Pink Blush £1.99
This is an easy to apply product and it is light on your skin and the packaging was simple and classy

TOTAL SO FAR £5.48

Mascara: Collection 2000 Lash Lengthening Mascara Ultra Black £2.99
If you saw that price you wouldn't expect much for that price. It clings to the lashes and offers a good amount of length for the price


TOTAL SO FAR: £8.47

Lip Product: Alexandra Burke's Lip BOOM £3.00
Lip Stick on one side and Lip Highlighter on the other side and there's 8 different shades of it so you could buy more than one as there super cheap

TOTAL SO FAR: £11.47

WELL.....  £8.53 left... So what would you do with that.
If you wanted to spend more on the makeup we recommend a better foundation - its not great...

What to write in a blank notebook

Hiya guys, 

We recently bought a new note book which has lined pages in it and we were wondering what to fill it with. So here are some suggestions we came up with.


1) Your bucket list 

You could fill your pages with sketches and notes of your bucket list. Which is like whatEVER you want to do before you die!

2) Drawings

You could fill your pages with sketches of people, animals, clothes!

3) Make a scrapbook

You could fill your pages with pictures of your past and what you want to do in the future/ things you want/like. Pictures of your friends and your pets :0)

4) Stories
You could fill your pages with stories that you want to write

5) Just notes

You could fill you pages with notes that you want to write/ just things you need to jot down. PRACTICAL!!! o_O 

Anyway that's what we would write in our notebooks what would you write?

7 Home Decor items

Hiya Guys, 

Right, lots of people want their bedroom (or just their house in general) to be nice coordinated and tidy, but they also don't want to spend a lot of money on making it look nice. Here are some  home decor items that are nice, sweet and just tie the room together. 

1) A clip photo holder
This photo clip holder is very cute and it keeps all your memories in the same place and it is abstract. The downside is that it is £21.60 which is a bit of a hype but we think it would be worth it.

2) A hanging heart
These sweet little hearts are really cute if you have maybe 3 on a wall all different heights and they are just so pretty. The price is only £1.99 which is very good as it is so delicate and simple. 

3) Lantern
 This lantern would go well with a room painted a very dark colour but you could also paint it to match (not "match" but go with) your room colour. It is £4.99.

4) Clock
This vintage clock is really nice and elegant and it is just so simple and sweet. It is £4.99.

5) Bird Cage 
Yes a birdcage they are absolutely GORGEOUS! This one is in black and it is £9.99 but it is really pretty and sweet.  

6) Hanging heart (wooden)
Yes this heart looks a bit boring but it is only £2.99 and we thought that it would be nice if you wrote a special message on it then gave it as a gift. 

7) Little bird sculptures
3 sculptures in the shape of birds in a little hole in a tree. They are £9.99.

5 Absolute Must Haves in Your Makeup Bag

Hiya Guys,

Today were going to tell you what we ABSOLUTE must have in our makeup bags. We need these things and they are a real lifesaver! 

1) Facial Wipes
You need face wipes to get rid of make up and get rid of make up you don't like, or that has smeared across your face. Because we don't want to look a tart now do we?!  

2) Mascara 
You need a none clump mascara just to add a little girlishness to your look. If you have very light hair then you will need a clear mascara and if you have brown hair a brown one and then black for very dark hair. 

3) Foundation to match your skin tone
Right this is serious your foundation needs to MATCH not be a close guess because it looks obvious you have it on. Also when you put your foundation you must blend it right up to your hair line and you need to blend it down your neck, otherwise you will get a line where your foundation stops. 

4) Concealer 
Lots of people think that if you don't have spots you don't need concealer but we think that you should still keep one in your bag for those emergency breakouts. Also you can sweep it underneath you eyes and around the bottom of your nose then BLEND and it adds highlight to your face.

5) Lip Gloss
Just because you put it on in the morning doesn't mean it will stay on all day. It wont. Make sure you either have a clear one on, or one that will go with your lip colour. Remember when your buying lip glosses to swatch it on the back of your hand in the store, as some of them are a lot brighter than they look and some look a lot more watery and clear.

What are your 5 must haves? Let us know

Our Top 5 Lush Products

Hey Guys,
At the moment we LOVE Lush, it's full of soaps and cosmetics, as well as that, they're also against testing on animals which is always good! We have almost always had great products from Lush. So these are our Top 5!





5) The Golden Wonder Bath Bomb - We love this product however when we saw it getting tested in the store it looked brighter than it was in our baths due to the amount of water in the bath. But this is still a really great product and it makes your skin feel really soft. also you get little shimmers in your water which move when you run your fingers through it. It is also a really cheap product at only £3.25 and it takes about a week to make in the factory.


£3.25

4) Whoosh/ Sweetie pie Shower jelly - This product is great it can be used on your body or on your hair. you can chill it, freeze it or use it straight from the tub. It is made from seaweed and it has the same softening effect. The only downside to this is that it is quite slippery when you get it wet so you might have to chase it round the shower for a bit... but who didn't expect that its jelly! Also it has a FAB description on the tub that is great to read in the shower.

£3.50/100g

3) Bubblebeard Bubble Bar - This is a fab product as it lasts up to 5 washes sometimes more if your lucky! However it doesn't make a huge amount of bubbles. But it can if you swirl it for longer it is AMAZING!!! It doesn't change the colour of the water and it can make your hair greasy but there's plenty of bubbles.

£4.95

2) The Comforter - The Comforter is a very pink bubble bar, it has a white swirl going through the middle and it smells and feels amazing. All you do is break a bit off the size of a dessert spoon (you can always add more for more bubbles) and crumble it into your bath for a luxurious smell and feel. This makes your skin quite soft as well the only criticism we have is that the smell and the colour is a bit overwhelming and tiring if you have it quite a lot. Which is why its at number two rather than number one.

£4.25


1) Lip Scrub (Bubblegum is our fave) - These are great as they smell and taste amazing,  they remove any dead skin or flakiness from your lips and they moisturize as well. Leaving them softer for longer.

£5.25

Let us know if there is any that we've missed out!
