Birthday makeup!

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't made a post in a little while, but hopefully this will make up for it. 

Its my birthday today (I know on Halloween haha)  and my mum gave me some money this year, we went to Merry Hill to go shopping and I thought I would show you some of the makeup I brought, I also brought a few clothes and bits n' bobs, so if you want to see that then let me know. 

So the first thing I brought was the MUA 'Undressed' Palette.

Iv been wanting this for a little while now and im so happy I got it!

Apparently its like the Naked palette by Urban Decay.

(So this is no order now)

I brought a Revlon eye shadow palette with 4 shades in and I was so happy about getting this because iv been looking at this for a little while now. 

I also got a 'Collection'  Eye shadow stick and a Felt tip liner. 

 I ended up caving in for the Kate Moss Lipstick in 107

I also got 3 blushes from 'Sleek' which I was supper happy about, one of the blushes comes with 3 in and its gorgeous! 

Then I got 2 packs of the real technique brushes! 

I also got 2 sleek eye shadow palettes which are lovely

I was so happy about finding this 'Beauty UK' blusher, its really pretty and its a baked blush as well so there's a mix of different colours in this blush.

I also got a new foundation, bronzer and concealer.

So there are just a few things I got today, I hope you enjoyed this blog post and if you want a in-depth review on any of the products then let me know!

So thank you for reading, I will probably be writing a new post after iv tried a few of these products or showing you some clothes I also got!

Speak soon!

UPDATE!

Hi everyone! 

So today is just a short post telling you a bit of an update and what's going on with my life at the moment! 

Firstly I apologise for not writing a blog post for a while, iv been so busy and that's why I wanted to make this post! So, Just to let you know im still going to be making videos (on YouTube) and doing blog posts as usual but they may not be as regular. This is because I have just started my first year of college, some of you may know that school finished for me this year so it was a scary experience not knowing what to expect going to college, but im pretty much over that now. Iv just finished my second week at college and really exited for the future. If any of you were wondering what course im taking, I thought I might as well include that in. I'm currently on a Hairdressing Diploma Level 2 course, I may go on to a Beauty course after this but im still not sure what I want to do yet. 

I go to college 3 days a week. That might not seem that much and your probably thinking wow that's way better than school and what are you busy doing? Well the days I am going to college, are very very long days. I have to wake up at quarter to 7 (am) and then I get home at quarter to 6 (pm) so as you can tell after working really hard for a long time (compared to school) I would be very tired, which I am! On Thursdays and Fridays I don't go to college, so I plan on spending time making a video or writing a blog post on one of them days. This wont be a strict schedule but I still want to continue on my blog and YouTube channel. 

I also would like it if you had any requests of any blog posts or even video ideas you'd like to read/watch then make sure to comment below so I can add to my list of ideas! 

I hope this kind of cleared up why I haven't been posting as often, and I hope you understand why also. 

I love making posts for my blog and I promise to make a new post at least every 2 weeks! (I will give it my best shot)

You can also follow me on Twitter or Instagram (@bethpaulxo), I post on there quite often and I can keep you up to date on when a post will be out. If you want to ask me anything then you can always message me on 'KIK messenger' and I will be sure to answer you. My KIK is 'Bethpaulx'

Thank you so much for reading, I hope you all are having a great day and hope to speak soon!

Lubbbbb you, Beth <3

August Favourites 2013

Hi everyone, im back!!!!! 

So for today's post I thought I would tell you my August Favourites!<3

I guess ill jump right into it!

MAKEUPPP!!

Starting off with makeup, Iv been loving a fair bit of MUA products this month, so I thought I would chuck it all in!

Firstly iv loved one of their single matt eye shadows in 'shade 19'

I prefer matt to shimmer but can hardly ever find matt eye shadows, so when I found this eye shadow I was over the moon! This is a lovely brown shade. MUA products have such good pigmentation, its great! And guess what? There only £1. I would totally recommend you trying this out if you like matt eye shadows or if you want/like to try out a new brand or new products!

For the last two MUA products im going to talk about today are the amazing £1 lipsticks!!! 

I have a range of their lipsticks but these two have stood out to me this month. Shade 16 & 3. 

Firstly MUA lipsticks are such great quality. I get REALLY dry lips and with most lipsticks I have to put a lip balm underneath, but with MUA lipsticks I can just put on the lipstick without having to worry about my lips looking really dry and cracked. I love the moister this lipsticks give off. I would totally recommend these to anyone. (I even prefer these to MAC lipsticks, oops!)

*Just to let you know, just because I have had great experiences with this brand I cant promise you anything, im just telling you what I love*

In general I love MUA and will carry on buying all of there products. I think the brand is pretty underrated which I have no idea why, but please go try this amazing brand! 

I LOVE IT!

Anyway on to the rest of the products iv loved! 

Next up is the Collection Cream Puff in 'Cotton Candy 1'

These are a dupe for the 'NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams'

So this product had to be mentioned in my favourites because iv been using it loads this month. I love the shade of this lip product very much!

When you apply it, it goes on like a lip gloss but it dries matt. 

The only thing I don't like this product is because it does tend to dry my lips out like crazy! 

But I had to include this baby in, they are definitely worth trying out.

Next is two brushes from Real Technique!

Oh my goodness, I cant rave about these brushes enough to you people!!

These are such good quality brushes and I recommend them to so many people!

The two I have been loving this month are the 'Expert face brush' & 'Blush brush'

The Expert face brush I use to blend out my foundation, and it works perfectly. A few people have said they have noticed it gives a streaky look when they've applied there foundation with it. I have not noticed this with my foundation, all I know is I love this brush very much!!

I use the blush brush for anything really powder, blush, contour, bronzer etc.. 

Its a very useful brush, and I love it very much indeed!

NAILLLL TIMEEE!!!<3

This month iv been loving these imPRESS nail stick on things. I get mine from Superdrug. 

They are very expensive but I really like them a lot. 

I have mine in Totally busted, which is a bright neon orange!!

Crazy I know!

But anyway iv been wearing them for a while now and there still on so im very happy with it so far :)

HAIR!!

So iv been loving two things for my hair this month. 

Firstly I brought a Doughnut ring thing, which creates a bun and iv absolutely been loving it, iv been wearing it on messy hair days or when im being lazy and cant be bothered to style my hair! Which to be honest is most days! 

Lastly is a VO5 product, and its the 'Give me texture, Instant OOMPH powder'

Iv been loving this stuff to create a lot of volume in my hair on those curly wavy days, when my hairs looking pretty natural. It just gives a little bit more texture and OOMPH I guess!

I love it!!

RANDOM!!

So I only have one random favourite but I thought I would include it!

Have a guess????? 

Its MACAROONS!!!!! 

I think iv fallen in love, these are the best things invented.

My favourite is definitely the chocolate flavour. 

But in general I love them all! 

So that includes everything iv loved this month, hopefully that wasn't to boring for you. Make sure you try out some of the MUA products I talked about!

Soooo yeah! Speak soon :)

LUBBB YOU <3

TOP 10 LIP PRODUCTS.

Hi everyone!!

Its been a little why since I last posted, sorry about that but im back now! 

Today im going to be talking to you about my 10 Top Lip Products. 

But as I promised I was going to do a review for my next blog post so I thought I would do a quick review for each one of the lip products! 

Hows that sound? 

Hopefully gooood!

(IN NO ORDER)

1. Maybelline Baby lips - CHERRY ME

2. Maybelline Baby lips - PINK PUNCH

3. Maybelline Baby lips - HYDRATE

So as you can tell I have got 3 of the baby lips in my top 10 lip products which means there pretty good! My favourite is 'CHERRY ME' I love it so much its got a gorgeous shine to it like the rest of them have, Its a lovely sheer pinky red. I wear it most days at the moment. For 'PINK PUNCH' I'm not as keen on this one but I still wanted to put it in my top 10 because I like the way it looks when I don't put to much on! It looks really nice, its a nice bright pinky colour.

As for the 'HYDRATE' baby lips, I love it! These lip balms are very moisturising and I don't always want something that's tinted. For example, when I go to bed I put this one on because its moisturising but not tinted! Iv just rambled on there so I'm hoping that makes some sense!

4. Collection Cream puffs - Fairy cake 3

5. Collection Cream puffs - Cotton candy 1

These should be talked about way more, there very good products. There kind of like liquid lipsticks? They go on the lips creamy and then they dry with a matt finish. I really like the two colours of these, 'Fairy cake' is more peachy pink and 'Cotton candy' is more like a purple plummy colour. 

I really recommend these. 

6. MUA Lipstick - Shade 13

MUA products are so underrated, its unreal how much I love MUA products. 

This is one of my favourite things from MUA just because there so moisturising and they don't dry out your lips at all! 

These are £1 and MAC lipsticks are £15, I personally prefer MUA lipsticks, MAC completely dry out my lips. MUA have a great colour range also. I have the shade 13 and I love it, its a bright, BRIGHT red. Its amazing!!

7. Rimmel Kate Moss - Shade 01

This is one of my favourite lipsticks to wear everyday even though its a bright lipstick, I sheer it out and I love it! 

Its very very moisturising to the lips and I don't have to put a lip balm underneath it like I do with MAC lipsticks. 

The colour is another red but its more deep then the MUA one. I love it very much and I really recommend these lipsticks.

8. Revlon Lip Butter - Tutti Frutti

I'm very late on these lip products, I only got mine recently but I'm currently really liking it! I love the texture of this and the colour, it looks really orange but its so sheer and I love that about it. 

I don't have as much to say about this one because I haven't tried it out as much as I have the others, but I wanted to include it because I am loving it, and noticed im wearing it a lot!

9. Rimmel Lipstick - Nude pink 

This is the only pale nude I have in here because im not really that into nude colours for my lips, mainly because im very pale so it looks a bit silly on me. 

This one doesn't make me look washed out at all, so that's what I love and its moisturising so that's a plus for me!

10. Clinique lipstick - Blushing nude 

So this one is another amazing lipstick obviously!!

This colour is a nude but more of a brown nude so very similar to your natural lip colour. 'A better colour of your lips' 

I love this for an everyday look because its so natural and you cant tell iv got lipstick on. So im very happy I have this. 

I was lucky enough to get given this from my nan because she never wore it, and im so glad she gave it to me instead of chucking it away, its so lovely and moisturising, I know iv said that about most of these but they all are honestly. 

(Here is a picture of all of the colours in order that iv just talked about, from right to left starting with Baby lips ending with Clinique)

So I hope this wasn't boring or too long but I really wanted to do this post and do a slight review for you! I'm hoping you liked reading this post, if you do maybe I will do some more like this!

Thanks so much for reading, feel free to comment if you have any questions or tips!

Much love, Beth x

Small Haul

Hi everyone!

Today I went out with my mum, we went into Claire's and Boots.

I thought I would show you what I ended up buying!

I know I said in my last post I would be reviewing something, but I haven't got round to that yet, but make sure to keep an eye out for that!

I went into Claire's because I wanted to get some hair accessories, I haven't been in there for ages and kind of forgotten how expensive it is but anyway I picked up a few things!

Firstly I got 2 hair bows. The first one is white lace, I think its gorgeous! I also picked up a white spotty one. 

Black & White spotty.

White lace.

One of the main things on my list was a 'Doughnut'

Which is basically a 'Sock Bun' You create buns with it and its super easy to put on iv already worn it today!

I brought a colour that was closest to my blonde hair.

Next I picked up was some clear elastics, I wanted these for things like plaiting etc..

Lastly I brought a 'Bun headband'

Basically you tie this around your bun and it makes it look a bit more pretty!

So that's it for Claire's, but now on to boots!

I only went in there today to pick up the 'Baby lips' lip balms. 

Iv been waiting for these to come out to the UK for months!! 

I'm so happy they've finally came out into boots stores, and I really cant wait to use them. 

I have already tried both of them and they stay on for ages! There are some that are tinted and some that are just clear, I got 2 tinted ones. 

I picked up 'PINK PUNCH' & 'CHERRY ME'

So far I very much prefer 'CHERRY ME' it suits me better. 

So that's everything I ended up buying today, I know it was very small but I wanted to share it with you!

Feel free to comment if you have any questions.

If you are at all bored these summer holls, maybe you could check out my youtube channel?
