Beauty UK - Glacier Gloss Review

Beauty UK have launched a new brand of lip glosses. The range is called Glacier Gloss and includes 10 shades to suit everyone. So I recently got in touch with Beauty UK and they agreed to send me two lip glosses from the range, I got the opportunity to pick my shades and that was tough choice they have so many gorgeous shades that are in trend right now, I am usually the outgoing type and love to wear bright colours but recently I have been loving the natural look and went for two light and natural colours.


The Lip-losses when I got them straight out of the package. 
Now I have been looking for a good lip gloss this summer because at the moment I've been going for a more natural look and this summer I don't really wanna wear a heavy lipstick. I have to say the glacier gloss range is a great buy and for being only £2.99. The glosses have a standard doe-foot applicator that makes it easily to apply the sheer gloss, despite the gloss being sheer they are actually very pigmented and last for good few hours, another plus which is always a good thing is that the gloss is not sticky and actually really shiny and have a creamy formula.

1. Peach For The Sky-No.03

I love Peach, and I think make up that is the shade of peach like a blusher or lipstick is so pretty and looks very summery, So when I saw this peach gloss I was immediately drawn to it. See swatches below.

2. Atomic Pink-No.6

I have wanted a classic pink gloss for ages, now don't be fooled by the bright look, it is a sheer lip gloss so it is actually very wearable. It's one of my favourite lip glosses. See swatches below.

Swatches

Here are the eight other shades:


I will definitely be picking up Plum& Have A Go, Pucker Up Pink and Tickle Me Pink soon!
Just a quick note to say that that if your interested in the brand Beauty UK then I would also recommend the brow range from them, I love their brow kit and brow pencils!

You can pick up the Glacier Gloss range or any other products from Superdrug or visit their website:  http://www.beautyukcosmetics.com/

My Every Day Make-up Routine.........

Morning...Afternoon...Evening....
Today I'm gonna show you every day make-up routine. I love seeing everyone's makeup routines to see more products and learn some tips, so If you have written a blog post, please leave the link below and I will definitely read. Now the night before I take my make-up off thoroughly,



So the first thing I do is wash my face with Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Scrub....
 Face Scrub
£4.95

I love the smell of this it's so refreshing, so I wash my face just in case I still have left over make up from the night before and its nice way to wake up. I apply this by wetting my face and then putting a small amount of the scrub into my fingers before rubbing it into my face in a circular motion before washing it off with a flannel.


The next thing I do is moisturise with Illuminating Moisture Lotion with SPF 15 from Sanctuary Spa
 Moisture Lotion
Small: £2.50 Large: £13.50

Now I prefer moisturisers with Illuminating or glowing properties because I prefer my skin to have a healthy glow during the summer. Now you can get the minis test tube or the larger tube, because I travel a lot in the summer, so I prefer I smaller tube that I can easily through in my bag. I apply this with my fingers before starting my make-up.


After moisturising I then put on a primer. The primer I am currently using is Maybelline New York Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Lightweight Primer...
Primer £7.99
I apply this with my fingers before foundations. Now on the tube it does say Only For Adults which I did not notice before buying, but so far it hasn't done any harm to me but clearly the sign is there for a reason, however I do recommend you use a primer especially in this heat. A primer is a great way to insure your make-up stays in place.

Here is wear the make-up really begins. My current foundation is the Wake Me Up 
Wake Me Up - Rimmel London
£5.99  Shade: Ivory 100

To apply my foundation I use the real techniques buffing brush, I squirt a small amount onto the back of my hand and dab my brush into the foundation and apply to my face with a circular motion, avoiding the nose to make my make-up look more natural. 

Now onto covering up those pesky spots....
Rimmel Hide The Blemish  £3.99
Shade: Ivory
For covering blemishes and spots I use the Hide The Blemish Concealer from Rimmel London. Now this concealer is perfect because It is not stiff or lipstick like, its creamy and applies well to the skin.
I apply this with my fingers, I think using your fingers is best for concealer especially the ringer finger because it applies less pressure to the skin.

Dark Under Eyes..........
Match Perfection Concealer £5.99
Shade: Ivory

Now this is a liquid concealer that I use to highlight my under eyes, It's from Rimmel London and it from the Match Perfection range. Now I know you shouldn't use a foundation and a concealer that are the same shade, but I'm so pale, there is no lighter shade. To apply this I use the brush attached to tube to draw triangle under my eyes and again I pat it in with my ring finger. 

Just go powder my nose............

Yep..Another Rimmel London product, as you can tell for everyday make-up in the world of a 15 year-old is full of Rimmel but what can I say, Rimmel London is one of the best drugstore brands out there. See I hate the shiny look, to me I just look like im sweating so I like to use a powder, to keep looking not sweaty and keep my make up in place. As you can see this powder is well loved because it has hit the tin (sad face) Now to apply this powder I use my The Vintage Cosmetics Company powder brush.

Cheeky.....
Dream Sun from Maybelline £6.49
Shade: Golden Tropics


I am in love with this Bronzer&Blush duo from Maybelline. It's so easy to use because its a duo, and save space in my make-up bag when I am on the go. I feel in love with this product from the moment I saw it the colours are so pretty and its fitting that the product is called Dream Sun because this is a summer must have. I use two separate brushed for this, when bronzing I use the Contour Brush from real techniques and the larger face brush from French Connection for the blush.

Shimmering Star.....
Flash Powder - Golden Glow
So this is the only non-drugstore product in my everyday make-up but this gorgeous highlighter from Smashbox I apply a small amount of this under my brow bone using the Real Techniques Detailer Brush and then with the smaller French Connection Brush I brush some across the top of my cheek bones. Now sadly I think this has been discontinued because you can no longer buy it anywhere and I can not remember the price but if your looking for a highlighter then I would recommend the any Soap&Glory highlighter, I own about 3 and all though I don't use them everyday I do love them.

Shine bright..........
Eye Shadow £4.09
Shade: Rose Tint
Do excuse the grubby case, This is my everyday eye shadow so it is well loved. For everyday shadow I often like to change it up but in this heat I don't like to have heavy eye make-up so this Maybelline Eye Shadow from the EYE-STUDIO range. It's a lovely pale pink shimmer that really light and pretty for every day use. I apply this all over my eye lid using the French Connection eye brush. 

Cat eyes................
Eyeliner-Brown
I love eyeliner I have about 20, Its one of the items I could not live with out but lately I have gone for a more natural look by using a brown eyeliner. I am currently using the Umberto Gianni Painted Lady Feliner in Brown, Unfortunately I have not found and eyeliner like this felt tip one, If you now of one please leave a comment below, I am really enjoying using a brown eyeliner. I usually go for a small cat eye and with this eyeliner it is so easy to do.


Flutter Those Lashes......
Mascara £6.99
Shade:Black

Mascara, A girls best friend and worst nightmare when it comes to tears. I am currently using the Scandaleyes Lycra Flex  mascara from Rimmel London. I do know that everyone loves the Maybelline Falsies mascara and I do love that mascara but for me this mascara has such a different formula then others and it make such a difference. I do think the brush is slightly to big but other then that is great.


Time for a bit of lippy...........
Lipstick £7.99
Shade: Macaroon 

To complete my look, I always go for a lipstick but the best one to wear on a daily bases is definitely the Revlon Colour Burst Lip Butter, I could go on for days about how nice these are, so moisturising and creamy, with such pretty colours that last for a good few hours. It's a combination of a lipstick and lip balm, so its great, if you don't want to carry loads of lip products around with you, just throw this in your bag.

Brushes............

These are the brushes I use on a daily base and there all labelled so you know what I use them with.
Now the Real Technique brushes (Orange Ones) are from the Core Collection set and are priced at 21.99 for four brushes but they are amazing quality and well worth it. Now sadly the French Connection brushes (Blues Ones) were a gift and have been discontinued. Now lastly the powder brush is from The Vintage Cosmetic Company and priced at £16 for the one brush but it is very good quality.


I hope you enjoyed reading my everyday make-up, I'd love to read some of your makeup routines, comment below with the link if you have one.

Top 5 On The Go Beauty Products

Top 5 On The Go Beauty Products This Week


I'll be honest my 'on the go' beauty products change a lot, I'm always trying to new things and adding them into my handbag, this could go on until I'm carrying Santa's sack, seriously it gets bad, but today I have picked the top 5 products from my bag to share with you all.


1. Essence 'all about sunrise' eye-shadow palette.

'All about sunrise'
So the first thing I have been loving this week is the 'all about sunrise' palette from essence. Now I had never heard of essence up until last week when it came to where I live and when I the essence stand I was immediately drawn to the eye-shadow palettes. Omg they had so many beautiful colours I wanted to buy so many but seeing as I had never used them I only bought one. I picked the 'all about sunrise' palette because the orange and gold tones that could go great with my blue eyes, but don't panic if you don't have blue eyes they have so many more amazing eye-shadows and palettes.  Onto the product itself, now the photos definitely don't do the shadows justice, they are so pigmented and beautiful shades, now in this palette they are all shimmer shadows, so that is something you should know if your the kinda girl who likes to where mattes, the one things I don't enjoy is that one they don't very long maybe 5-6 hours with a primer, which is why they are an on the go product because I like t take them with me, I also carry brush and mirror with me because the palette does not include that, but honestly I only paid £3.49 for this palette and it is so worth the money the colours are beautiful. 


2.  Soap&Glory - Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick 'Nudist'


So if you don't know about this then where have you been! I have seen so many people rave about this product and when I heard about it, it really didn't appeal to me but I was given it in a gift set and it quickly became one of my most loved items, I carry it everywhere. Now I have it in the shade 'Nudist' ,I love this shade, its natural and looks great with a tan so in summer its perfect! The gloss stick comes into 4 other shades Bashful, Fuchsia Ristic, Plum Jam and Raplumzel which to be honest all look great with a tan! The gloss stick is perfect for school when you don't want to wear a heavy lipstick or a sticky lip gloss, It's doesn't leave your lips dry or leave them sticky. Now this gloss stick is £8, some may say that's not worth it for a gloss but this is honestly a best buy, I would recommended it to everyone and you should definitely go grab yourself one for summer!


3. Estee Lauder - Double Wear Concealer & Pure Colour Lip Gloss Duo


Now this product unfortunately only come when you buy an Estee Lauder foundation but you can buy them both separately. However if you do buy a foundation be sure to pick one up because its definitely help full to have two in one. 
Now the concealer is the Double Wear Stay-In-Place in shade 02 Light Medium and it's great for cover dark circles, covering blemishes and spots. It also comes in shades to suit almost every skin tone. The concealer is slightly pricey at £21.50 but if your looking for a splurge and a light weight, good coverage concealer this is it. 
Now the Lip Gloss is the Pure Colour Gloss in the shade 27 Pink Kiss this gloss is a shimmer, so don't buy if you don't like a bit of sparkle. In my opinion this lip gloss is beautiful, its perfect for a night out with a heavy eye make up or a beautiful up-do. Now the lip gloss is slightly pricey at £18.50 but is a great buy for special occasions and comes in 18 beautiful shades.


4. Benetton B United Jeans Woman Eau de Toilette 30ml


Now I got this for my birthday and I am honestly in love with it, it's great for on the go perfume it's small and great the throw in my bag. Now I've looked around and the price ranges from £2.99 and to £12 so be careful where you buy it from. Now talking about the perfume, it smells great, I wish we had a smell button, I've had so many compliments on this perfume, online it is described as  described as a fresh and floral perfume, opening with top notes of tangerine, basil, redcurrant, vine peach ,fusing of jasmine, cyclamen, narcissus and hyacinth, finally a smooth base of sandalwood, grey amber and musk. This perfume is great for all occasions, so its a perfect handbag essential.


5. Soap&Glory Hand Maid Gel

I don't know if I technically would call this a beauty product but it's definitely an amazing 'on the go' product. I always like to carry a hand sanitizer and hand cream with me, it might be weird but they always come in handy, now nearly every girl I know has the Soap&Glory Hand Food however I'm not madly obsessed with it, I see better results with other hand creams, this made me very weary to buy the hand sanitizer but I know this was a great purchase, because not only
is it pink, which I love, I mean what girl wouldn't.
It also has the most amazing smell which is described as fresh, fruity and floral, I believe it gets the smell from the grapefruit extracts.
                                                                    

It is slight more watery then other hand sanitizers
which can be a pain and it does leave a strong anti bacterial taste on your hands, and I know I said taste which is very weird but I couldn't think of a better word, if you place your hands near your mouth or eyes you need to definitely wait at least an hour. Other than that for £2.50 this is the perfect buy for an 'on the go' must have because not only does it keep your hands clean but it also great moisturising qualities.
