Hi everyone! 

Today's post is probably going to be pretty short but I really wanted to show you my outfit I wore the other day.

So because its been really hot in the UK recently iv been wearing skirts and dresses most days, which I love because I love to be girly! 

 I wore a denim skirt with gold studs on, I tucked in a lovely white printed top which has famous places on! 

For shoes I kept it casual and comfy and went for my lovely Converse!

I love them so much, they are grey and pink. 

I wore this out shopping, and I recently showed what I brought on my YouTube channel youtube.com/bethpaulxo

Its named 'Primark Haul' 

I brought loads of skirts etc.. so if you'd like to see that feel free! 

Here is a picture of the outfit!

Favourite Nail Polish

Hi everyone! 

So today im going to be showing you some of my favourite nail polishes.
I thought i would do this because I love spending the time painting my nails, and I have a few colours that I love. Iv picked out my favourites but if you want to see the rest of my collection let me know!

Pastel nail polishes are my favourite and I actually only have a couple which is mainly because the nail polishes I have are given to me for like a Christmas present by family member. The few nail polishes I buy myself are normally pastels. 

So I have an Essie nail polish in the shade 'Turquoise and ciaos' I love this colour its a minty green. 

This is my only Essie polish because they are very expensive but I plan to get more because there so long lasting!

Here is a picture of the nail polish, its gorgeous! This was £7.99 when I got it!

Next is another pastel colour from Models own, in the shade 'Blueberry Muffin' 

This is a gorgeous pastel blue, I love this and its one of the scented nail polishes they do. Its a very sweet smell, but its actually quite nice. 

The smell lasts for quite a while and the polish doesn't chip very quickly!

I recommend Models own nail polishes so much there so easy to glide on the nail!

Here is a quick pic! 

Next is a Nails Inc polish ( This does not have a name or number for the colour ) This polish is a bright orange and its gorgeous. Its very scary looking if your not very used to wearing neon polishes!

But its a nice way to wear colour if your not used to wearing bright colours in fashion or makeup. 

I wear this quite a lot and its lasted so well. It does not chip for at least 3 days. Remember this is for my nails, so if you get this and it doesn't last as long then im guessing we have different nail types or something!

Here is the gorgeous colour!

Lastly is a gorgeous pale pink colour which is lovely for an every day basis! 

It doesn't actually have a brand name or colour etc. on the bottle so I have no idea where this came from! But im sure you can find a similar colour because its so simple!

This is beautiful for everyday because its so sheer, and its perfect for people at school that aren't aloud to wear nail polish but don't want to wear clear because its just a little something extra!

As you can see this is very well loved, I have hardly any left! 

I recommend a colour like this to anybody. 

So that's it, they are my favourite nail polishes!

I really hope you enjoyed reading this and hopefully you saw some colours you liked!

Feel free to comment below telling me some of your favourite brand of polishes. 

Thanks for reading!:)

My Everyday Makeup Routine!

Hi everyone!

So today im going to be talking to you about what makeup items I use everyday.

Lets get started, woop woop!!!

FACE: 

- Foundation -

So for foundation I have 3 different favourites which you would know if you read my first post! 

I either use MAC Studio Fix Fluid, Rimmel Match Perfection or MUA Undress your skin.

I love all three foundations very much. I use my MAC one if I want high coverage, my Rimmel one if I dont want to much but still medium coverage and the MUA foundation is more like BB cream because its that sheer. Because my skin is so pale I always struggle to find a perfect foundation match but these three seem to be pretty close. MAC in shade NC15, Rimmel in shade 010 Light Porcelain and MUA in shade Porcelain. 

I use my Real Technique 'Buffing' Brush to blend in all foundations, its a brilliant brush for this use and lots of other uses as well! ( I will be doing a Real Technique brush review soon )

Here is a picture of everything I just talked about. 

 - CONCEALER -

For concealer I use my Collection Lasting perfection in Fair 1. 

( The make used to be called 'Collection 200 ) 

I absolutely love this concealer, iv been using it over a year now and its so great for covering up blemishes or even just covering up dark circles under your eyes. I cant really explain how much I love this but put it this way, I sometimes just wear it on its own. No foundation. Just a bit of this under my eyes around my nose and on my chin! I then blend my concealer in with my fingers or I use my Real Technique 'Contour' Brush. 

So I give this a 5/5 and i really recommend it to anyone! 

Please at least try it out, its at such a good price as well.

Here is a picture! 

- Blush, Bronzer & Highlight - 

So for blusher I normally use my Beauty UK Blusher, this doesn't actually have a name or a number for the colour. 

Anyway, this is such a good blusher it has 5 colours in one little pot! 

I like mixing all of them together to create such a beautiful colour. Its a little bit shimmery too. 

For Bronzer I always use Nars Laguna! 

I love this bronzer its always been my favourite, I don't love the price of it though! Its very expensive but its really worth it. I apply blush, bronzer and highlighter with the same brush, I use a fluffy angled brush. 

Now for highlighter, I love to use my MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in soft and gentle! 

This is such a great product, it gives such a good finish and I love it. It is a bit on the expensive side but I think its well worth it, it gives you such a pretty glow!

Here is a picture so you can see what they look like!

- Powder - 

So lastly for face I apply my all time favourite powder from Accessorize which is a make from Superdrug. 

This is great for me because like I said before I have such pale skin I need something that's fair! 

This is a perfect match for me and it also gives such a lovely matt finish. 

I put this in the centre of my face because that's where I need and want it. 

I'm going to put a picture here now.

The packaging is gorgeous also! This is the brush I use to apply it, I brought a pack of brushes of eBay and this was one of them! 

EYES: 

- MASCARA -

For my eyelashes I like to curl them first with my curlers ( I don't know the make of these )

Then I use my all time favourite mascara from No7. 

Its called Extreme length extend. It does what it says, it gives such great length which is what I need for my lashes! 

Please give this a go, its sooo good.

- EYE SHADOW -

I use cream eye shadows for everyday because I feel like its quicker and easier to apply. 

I use my MAC paint pot in 'Painterly' I put this all over my lid, and then I put my Maybeline colour tattoo in shade 'On and on bronze' in the crease and outer corner. 

I then just blend it out with my fingers. 

- Eyeliner - 

I have used Gel eye liner for so long now, I prefer it way more than any other eye liner formulas!

I started of using my collection Gel eye liner, but then I found a Maybeline one which is so good! I love it so much!

If your looking for a good Gel eye liner I would recommend it so much!

I apply my eye liner with a angled brush or a pointy brush. 

Here's a picture!

LIPS:

- Lip balm - 

At the moment iv been using a reallly good lip balm from the make dermaV10.

Its so moistersing on the lips, I love it. I always let it sink in before I put any lip colour on. 

- Lipstick - 

The lipstick I use everyday is a Kate moss one from Rimmel. 

Its in the shade 01.

I love putting this in the middle of my lips and blending it out. 

Its a gorgeous deep red but you can wear it more sheer if you do what I do!

It doesn't dry out the lips at all! 

I really recommend it! 

So that is everything I do for an everyday look. 

I hope you enjoyed reading this and I hope you found some items you liked the look of!
