HAVE I MADE THE RIGHT DECISION?

Hello lovelys❤️ I've just done something crazy... well I think it's crazy anyway! I just uploaded my first ever youtube makeup tutorial. i'm not sure if i have honestly made the right choice, some of my friends make videos and they love it so i thought i'd give it a go. i recorded the video months ago and it's just been sitting in my computer for ages. the reason i was doubting it is because of all the backlash that comes with anybody making videos, but i shouldn't let people's opinions get to me i guess? ill put the link to my new video and channel below so feel free to check it out and share with your friends if you like. ill also link my friends channels too because they are all amazing!

BENEFIT: New products added to the hoola family!

Image
Hi everyone, Today I'm going to talk about something VERY exciting!! Everyone knows the Benefit Hoola bronzer don't they? its an amazing box bronzer that makes you look like a bronze goddess... well good news. They are expanding the hoola family with a new range of products, which I'm going to tell you about today. I don't know about you guys  but I'm a fan of classic Hoola by Benefit. Known by many as the best bronzer around, Hoola has racked up more than a few awards in the 15 years since its release. Lucky for us, Benefit are releasing 3 new additions to the Hoola family this March, just in time for the weather to (hopefully) brighten up! Dew the Hoola, £22.50 This basically is the original Hoola in a liquid. Similarly to the powder, Dew the Hoola is ideal for creating a soft matte, natural-looking bronze skin, without any glitter of shimmer. The lightweight creamy texture melts on to the skin, and the liquid formula has the bene...

Hi Everyone!! I hope you all had the best Christmas and New Year... Im so sorry i haven't blogged at all this year but I've had a pretty hard start to year with my Grandmother lynne passing away at the end of January. My time has been invested in my family and we've all been helping each other get through this painful time. I know you'll all understand. I just wanted to put some old gross photos of me on here that have my nan in, to celebrate her on this page as she loved to read it. Trust me i look nothing like that now lol. That photo was taken about 3-4 years ago at my mans favourite restaurant. I love you nan, R.I.P Until then my loves, Be you, Taylor xo

Beauty Haul: Spanish Edition.

Image
Hi everyone, Welcome back, i hope your all doing amazing. So, autumn and winter is approaching and obviously, its time to buy new makeup ;) i recently went to Spain for a week with my family and i bought a fair amount of stuff, which my bank account didn't thank me for... But I've needed/wanted these products for a while so I'm happy with everything i got. So heres what i bout  The first few things i got where from mac in the Duty free stand in gatwick airport.  The first thing i bout what the Studio Fix Fluid in NC15 (yes i know, pale as a ghost haha) First thoughts on this foundation is, Its A LOT more full coverage than i anticipated so its gonna take a bit of getting used too. But its a lovely consistency, goes on smoothly but i do prefer it with a primer because of its coverage. i pad £17.50 for this in duty free which was good as it usually retails for about £21-£23 so thats was good purchase in my eyes.  The second thing i got in the mac counter is...

HOW TO: Maintain and repair bleached and/or damaged hair

Image
hi guys! If any of you follow me on social media you will see I recently bleached my hair and in the process of going blonde. I had a full head balayage near the roots so my roots weren't bleached but they were highlighted. I am currently at stage one of going blonde and my hair is a sort of caramel/honey blonde with quite a bit of brass in it. Because I bleached dark brown Virgin hair I have to take extra care to maintain it and take care of it, using the right products and not allowing my hair to become extremely damaged or broken. Today I have some top tips on how to save and maintain your hair that I hope you find useful. Top tips to prevent (further) hair damage: 1- Try to dye/bleach your hair as little as possible If you over process your hair with bleach or dye you can have extremely damaged hair, which won't go away until you cut the damage away and re-grow your hair. 2- gentle brushes Your hair won't have the same bounce after you have over processed it...

I have been loving all the L'Oreal collection Privee lipsticks, I wanted to tell you more about them Andy my own opinions before you went and bought them if you are having any problems choosing :) As you know the L’Oreal Collection Privee is a selection of high end looking L’Oreal Colour Riche Lipsticks there’s also a  Privee Nail Polish Collection  available that come in a matte black packaging with gold accents.

REVIEW - benefit "The bronze champions" book

Image
BENEFIT - THE BRONZE OF CHAMPIONS  This kit is part of the many amazing make up book sets benefit have, featuring all its amazing well known products we all know and love.  Not only is this kit perfect for a regular benefit shopper, it's also brilliant for people who are entering the world of high end make up. It comes with a 'How to' sheet, explaining how to apply each product to get the best finish.  As you can see all of these products are beautiful and shimmery with lots of gold running through them, some products like hoola lip gloss and bronzer have some slight red-ish undertones. I think this kit would be perfect for slightly tanned skin.  Personally I  think this kit would be great and universal because it's good for summer looks. I'm also lovin' the travel- sized version of Watt's Up, my fave highlighter from Benefit and Hoola, my HG contouring powder! How about you? How do you find this kit? Overall I would score this kit a 8/10 :)...
