Blemish Buster.

Blemish Buster, take my blemishes away!
This is a face mask, which helps to unblock pores and remove blackheads, and it does the most perfect job! It comes in a tube, not a pack, so you can use it over and over again. 
I love this because you can really feel it working into your skin and reaching all the pores, I apply a medium to thick layer because sometimes my pores get badly blocked up and this prevents it. 
I use this atleast once a month and keep it on for 5-7 minutes, depending on how its setting, I then remove with warm water. 
What facemask do you use? How often do you like to treat your skin? 
See you soon, 
Lots of Love,

Liebester Award

Hello! I'd like to thank Gabriella for the nomination for the Liebster Award. Gabriella has a great blog that you should definitely go and check out! 

I had never heard of the Liebster Award before, so I did some research to find out and it looked very interesting. The award is given to up coming bloggers to inspire and encourage them to continue doing such amazing work! The word 'Liebster' is German and it means lovely and pleasant.

What is your must have Autumn/Winter lipstick?
Mine would have to be Elizabeth Arden "Breathless" (number 17). This is because it goes with every outfit and my lips really dry out in the Autumn/Winter season and this just helps them last that little bit longer. 

What got you into blogging?
This is going to be a long answer! The reason I got into blogging was because I wanted to be able to help other people, because not everyone knows about Beauty, Fashion & Lifestyle. It was also a way of getting my opinion across, I liked the thought of having a audience and people knowing who I'am. I'm also youtube/blogger obbessed, I'm always reading or watching the 'big' people so I really wanted to be like them. 

Who do you admire and why?
I don't ever think, I want to be 'her' but I do get ideas from different people and make my own sort of style. For fashion & beauty I always go to Ellie Goulding, I think she has such simple but classy looks. I never think 'Oh that outfit looks bad on her'. So I guess I do admire her for her Fashion & Beauty. 

What is your 'go-to' outfit?
I have to admit I dress very boringly! My go-to outfit would be very simple and just my black jeans/leggings, chelsea style boots and a knitted jumper with my tartan scarf! Simply because it is so warm yet comfortable. 

What is your favourite fashion shop?
This is difficult as I really like 2! I'm torn between Topshop & Jack Wills. I have alot of Jack Wills but I also have alot of Topshop. They both have very different styles and sometimes Topshop has more of what I like, but then sometimes Jack Wills does. I would have to say they are at the top together! 

Top 3 perfect makeup products (drugstore)?
The first one would have to The Bodyshop BB Cream. I love this, its so easy to wear but sometimes you really have to work it to get the flawless finish but its worth it in the end! 
The next one would have to be Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder Peaux Claires/Medianes. This is a really good bronzer and looks like chocolate! 
My last one is eyes and I really love this because you can do so many different looks with it! It is called 17 Create the Look - Natural Eyes. 

Top 3 perfect makeup products (high end)?
The first one is my Benefit Most Glamorous Nudes Ever. This is a palette that can take you from day to night and you can really make the most out of it. I really like this palette and its defiantly one to check out! 
The next one is my Benefit They're Real Mascara, I love this and eventhough its waterproof you dont have to scrub your eyes to get it off and it lasts all day! 
The next one would have to be my Benefit Hello Flawless Powder, this is amazing and really does make you look flawless! 

What are your worst habits?
This is disgusting but when I get stressed or anxious or sometimes just simply boredom, I pick my nails! I don't bite them but I pick all of the white bit off, it makes my hands and nails really sore but I can't not do it! I have done it for so many years now! 

Favourite song atm (at the moment)?
Mine would have to be G.R.L Ugly Heart. It is really catchy and is just a really nice song to listen to.

What's your favourite quote?
"You use your past, to build your future"

If you had to choose between Mac or Benefit which one and why?
Benefit, simply because I have never had a chance to properly use the MAC Products regularly! Also the Benefit Products really help my skin,

Favourite time of the year?
Summer, I love going out in the sun and there is so much more different styles! 

I'm not going to nominate anyone specific, but I nominate anyone that wants to have a go! Tag me so I can read yours.

Top 6 Autumn & Winter Lipsticks

As we are now in Autumn, I wanted to show you my Top 6 Autumn & Winter Lipsticks, that I like to wear majority of time. 

The first one is from Elizabeth Arden and is number 17 "Breathless". This is a matte lipstick in a deep nude colour, almost like your natural lip colour, it applies really well and easily, and I can wear it to school, which I like. It looks darker in the picture than it really is. 

Chanel is one of my favourite places to get Make Up from, because its always really good quality and lasts for ages, so its worth the price tag. The first lipstick from Chanel I have is, a deep nude colour, I can't wear this to school, but I wear it often on the weekends, as it really warms up the look. One of the main things about lipstick, is if it applies well, and this one really does, it just glides on. 

The next one I have is also from Chanel and this is called "Brilliant" which is a deep red berry colour, with a slight shimmer, so its perfect for the festive seasons, and once again it really warms up your look. 

"Sexy" from Chanel, is a true red colour, and is a very vibrant and fun colour to wear, it is a bold lip, but it almost looks natural even though its red. This once again applies very well, and perfect for the colder days as it doesn't dry out your lips. 

Estee Lauder, is also a very good place to go for lipsticks, the one I have is a deep nude, almost berry colour, but it looks natural. I naturally have dark lips, so I can get away with it. It once again applies well, and looks great when you have bold eye makeup, brilliant for parties. 

I also have another Estee Lauder one, in the colour 117 "Rose Tea". This is a lovely colour, which is natural, and you can wear everyday, it also doesn't dry your lips out so you can wear it on colder days. 

Eventhough all my lipsticks are high end, I would really recommend investing in them, as alot of drugstore lipsticks dry your lips out, thats what I find anyway. Even if you have just one or two, it can be a special treat. 

I hope you enjoyed this blogpost, I will see you again soon. 
Lots of Love,

Pure & Natural

I discovered this moistriser a couple of months ago, it looked appealing, I had never heard anything about it, but I thought I would try it anyway. It is by Nivea, and I pick it up in my local supermarket, it isn't high end, but it does the job perfectly.
My skin has never been better, I don't have as oily skin, it's just my T Zone, instead of my whole face and my skin is always really soft. It has made me alot more confident. I'm happy to go without makeup, whereas I wasn't before where it was all red, dry and oily, it wasn't nice.
It isn't the most lightest of moistrisers, but it certainly isn't the heaviest, it's just perfect. It's very suitable for young skin, as it's not harsh on the skin.
Also the thing I love about the moistriser, is its completely natural, so there is no chemicals or nasty things in there, that will damage your skin like other moisrisers.
I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a new moistriser or for a slight change.

What is your favourite moistriser? 
See you again soon, 
Lots of Love,

Tanya Burr Lipgloss Chic - Review

I'm abit late with this one, but every time I go into my local Superdrug, its never in stock! So when I saw it, I had to grab it!
Tanya has a cosmetic range, which is just brilliant! It has something for everyone, lipgloss and nail polishes! I have been watching her vlogs and hopefully she is expanding her range.

This is the most beautiful colour, it has the most gorgeous shine, suits any look you are going for and you can wear it everyday!

I went off Lipgloss & Lipstick because it really started to dry my lips out and I didn't want it to affect me in the winter and there is nothing worse than chapped lips because of the cold weather! However this keeps them moisturized and it lasts along time. I normally just apply another coat after I have eaten lunch and then i'm good to go!

I would defiantly reccomend it, if you havent already tried it! It looks alot darker in the packaging but when you put it on, it just has the most gorgeous shimmer, and most of the time people ask me what I'am wearing. I really love it.

Tanya Burr Lipgloss Chic

It looks quite dark, however it isnt really dark and if you want to see Tanya wearing it herself, click the link below!

Autumn Q&A

Summer is now officially over, the weather is getting colder and the days are getting shorter! People have been asking for a Autumn Essentials but also a Q&A so I have mixed the 2 together and I hope you enjoy it!

What is your favourite thing about Autumn?
It has to be, layering all your clothes together and heading down to the stables, seeing all the horses munching in the field, with light fog, all wrapped in rugs! It is just so cute and now I go 2-3 times a week, I cant wait to see them and going on hacks. Its so much nicer riding in Summer when it isn't hot, as its not enjoyable with a hat on and thick jodphurs, I'm probably the only one that thinks this!

What is your Autumn essential, this year?
So I went out on a shopping trip, because I had worked in the summer, babysitting, I wanted to pick up a few things! I ended up getting a black leather jacket, and black leigh jeans. I have never owned Black Jeans before and I really needed some! Leather Jackets, have come back into fashion, you can layer them, or wear them on their own. They are amazing!

What is your favourite foundation?
I have stopped wearing foundation and I'am now using the Bodyshop BB Cream, there has been mixed reviews on this, but I LOVE it, it gives a flawless finish, gives me the coverage I need. I really, really like it and will be repurchasing. Its what I wear to school and it doesn't feel like you have got anything on. I really like it and would recommend it, if you are struggling to find something.

What are you most looking forward to this Autumn?
My birthday! My birthday, is on the 23rd October but its a Thursday, which means that its at school, however I will get to see all my friends. I'm also having a birthday party, as last year I didn't do anything for my birthday. All my friends are coming and its going to be really great night, I cant wait!

Favourite Candle?
My favourite candle is going to have to be the Yankee Candle 'Autumn Wreath'. I'm not the best at describing how Candles smell but its a warm, spicy smell and has a hint of cinnamon. It was one to go and try for yourself and I will be burning it alot this Autumn!

I have only done 5 questions, but I hope you enjoy it and I will see you again soon!

Lots of Love,
Darcey xx
