Perfect Pout in 3!!

Hi Guys I have recently been obsessed with red lipstick and because its such a bold colour I make sure to care for my lips and prep them this is what I do:

Step one  Use a lip exfoliator I use Lush Sweet lips it removes all chapped and dry skin on your lips and tastes yummy too!!



Step two  I use MAC prep and prime lip it helps the lipstick stay on longer


Step three  I then apply the lipstick straight from the tube I think doing it this way gives you a deeper colour on your lips


For red lips I generally leave it at this stage I personally think it looks a lot more chic without gloss
hope you guys enjoyed that

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain




Hi Guys  yesterday I went into town and picked up the new Revlon Just bitten lip balm stain I purchased 001 Honey Douce I was intrigued with theses since I heard about them as I always wanted to try the clinque chubby stick and heard theses were a dupe for them and nearly more than half the price .

 €19 for the Chubby Stick and €8 for the Revlon ones I was happy to purchase theses instead although I cant really compare the two as I don't have the chubby sticks,
However I do like theses most lip stains I have tried have dried out my lip this one is different as it didn't dry my lips out I'm guessing its due to the fact that it has a lip balm injected into it.
When you apply it to your lip it has a mint scent but it doesn't linger the colour I got is a nice natural colour


Hope you guys enjoy that

tanning gone wrong!! :(

    

Yikes! Theses picture is what you never want to look like but I think in some way maybe not as great as this picture but we have all had an oompa loompa moment and over the years Ive my little S.O.S Tan Tool box which includes

Cotton Buds    I use theses to smooth across my hairline and eyebrows to wipe away excess tan and stop hair from turning orange!


Lemon   Lemons are great for lightening dark patches all you have to do is rub a Lemon wedge on the area.


Flannel  I usually rub a dry flannel over streaks this buffing  action will blend away any patches .


Vaseline   I have to say Vaseline is my holy grail I use it for a hundred different uses when tanning it is perfect as the greasy texture makes colour slip off I use a thick layer over my nails hairline

hope you guys enjoyed that

5 steps to sun-kissed skin

Step one
Its vital that skin is clean and smooth to ensure your glow looks even and glamorous, so shave off any unwanted hair and use an exfoliator to remove dead skin before hand
make sure you get the areas where tan can build-up like the neck, ankles,wrists, knees

Step two
Moisturise! To prevent patchy areas, its essential to apply a thin layer of moisturiser over dry areas in the same places that you have added extra exfoliator to your knees, elbows,wrists etc

Step three
Always us a tanning mit or latex gloves there is no more obvious sign that you have used fake tan is orange  palms!

Step four
Don't forget your hand as much as you don't want orange palms you also don't want pale white palms so use little amount for your hands. as well as your hands don't forget your feet

Step five
To keep your tan looking fresh moisturise daily and start exfoliating after two or three days to help the colour fade evenly and prepare skin for your next tan.
try to avoid very oily body lotion because they stop self tan from penetrating your skin and break down existing  colour try instead to use water-based lotion
hope you guys  enjoyed that
C-ya soon xx
