BATISTE DRY SHAMPOO

Batiste dry shampoo is literally a life saver for me. I only started using it towards the end of last year and I don't know how it took me so long to try it. I have used the batiste dry shampoo for dark hair too but I prefer this one because I feel like the dark hair one leaves your hair looking nice but feeling dirty so I found that during the day I would panic if I ran my fingers through my hair because I would think it looked dirty because it felt it but when I checked in a mirror it still looked good. With this one though I feel like it makes my hair look great but also feel great and it also smells nice. The only downside to it is that it has a white cast which if fine as long as you rub it in properly.

NEW YORK COLOR / NYC

Today on my way home I picked up three things from the brand NYC. I've heard a lot about this brand on YouTube because of how it's very affordable but still good quality. I didn't know I could get NYC over here so I was quite surprised when I found it. I picked up a mosaic face powder, lipstain and mascara. I tried all three of them out for the first time today and I am really quite happy with them.

PRODUCTS I REGRET BUYING

1. RIMMEL SCANDALEYES MASCARA

I bought this a couple of months ago because I needed a new mascara and it was a decent price. The first time I tried it I found it was difficult to apply so I thought I just needed to get used to it. After trying it multiple times and hoping I would get used to it I gave up. I find that this mascara makes my lashes clump together, it's really hard to get them to separate, the brush is too big and I just wish I hadn't wasted my money on it.

MAYBELLINE BABY SKIN PORE ERASER

After all the hype about the Maybelline Baby Skin pore eraser I really wanted to try it out. I bought it in Boots for around 11euro, which I thought was a bit expensive but I wanted it so bad so I just got it.

ESSENCE EYESHADOWS

So I recently stumbled upon the brand essence, I don't know how I didn't know it before because it seems to be everywhere I look now that I do. I noticed the stand in a chemist one day so I had a look and seen that everything was really cheap. I didn't really have much hope for it since the prices were so low.

Colors left to right: strawberry ice cream, dance all night, get ready!, blockbuster, pop eye, skeye and sand, party all night.

REDECORATING

I'm sitting here in my bed and I can't stop stressing out about the state of my room. Between now and summer my main plan (other than passing college) is to do up and rearrange my room the way I have wanted to for so long. I think my first step is to buy new wardrobes then take out the ones I have, repaint the whole room (cream on three walls and red on the other), install new wardrobes, get a new bed frame, fix up the desk I have or get a new one and then it should be pretty much the way I want it..

Now, time to start saving. Thanks for reading :)

REVLON COLORSTAY FOUNDATION

The Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation used to be my number one holy grail foundation. I bought it years ago and I absolutely loved it. Back then I didn't have any foundation brushes or anything like that so I just applied it with my hands.

GARNIER BB CREAM

Ok so I got the Garnier BB Cream miracle skin perfecter for combination to oily skin. I have seen so many good reviews on it so I really wanted to try it myself and so far I really do like it.

INTRODUCTION

Okay so my name is Lauren, I am 21 years old and I have a huge interest in makeup and hair and beauty in general. I decided to make this blog because I have always wanted to do something like it where I could share my opinion about different products I use in my everyday life or new ones I have bought and want to try. Since I started watching beauty gurus on youtube I just wish I was doing something like what they do so I figured this was a start. I hope to keep up to date with it so let's see how it goes!
