This or that beauty tag
This or that beauty tag!!!
So I've been pretty busy today so I haven't had time to be taking photos or editing so I thought so I'm still keeping up with blogging everyday I'd just do a tag so today I'm doing the 'this or that beauty tag'
So lets get on with the questions...
Blush or Bronzer? Bronzer cause I'm convinced I have a really round head so contouring my cheek bones makes my face look a bit slimmer
Lipgloss or Lipstick? Lipstick
Eye liner or Mascara? Mascara Because it opens my eyes and makes me look more awake
Foundation or concealer? Concealer
Neutral or colour eye shadow? Neutral eyeshadow
Pressed or loose eyeshadows? Pressed
Brushes or sponges? Brushes
So that's it for this tag but I hope you enjoyed and hopefully I will have a review up tommorow!

Nivea Express Hydration Primer
Nivea Express Hydration Primer Review
So after my bare minerals 'prime time' primer ran out I was in search of a new primer so when watching some videos on YouTube I saw this advert for a new primer starring fleurdeforce (who is a massive beauty inspiration for me), it looked quite good and so I researched it and found out it was only £5 which for me is a bargain considering most primers are over the £20 mark, so I ordered it off superdrug.
I never really notice much difference with primers in the way that they're supposed to make your make up stay on longer and with this I don't notice much difference however I think this is a brilliant base for make up and makes my foundation glide on like a dream!
I have incredibly dry skin and I found this really moisturising and I also have quite sensitive skin however it didn't irritate my skin at all but still has a nice scent. I also think this is a really nice refresh if you need a bit of a moisture during the day.
Overall I really like this primer and for £5 you can't really go wrong!
You can buy this at superdrug

Pink Converse - Office
Beige gem sandals - Next
Multi-coloured sandals - I got these a few years ago in Greece so I don't know if you could get hold of these anymore

Red Vans - Schuh
Black sparkly vans - Schuh
Pink and purple Nike blazers - Nike

Nars Laguna bronzer review
Nars Laguna Bronzer Review
Okay so I've wanted this bronzer for a while but never seemed to buy it however last weekend while on a shopping trip with my friend I persuaded myself to buy it. I read
a lot of reviews on blogs and on YouTube before and it was being constantly raved about.
a lot of reviews on blogs and on YouTube before and it was being constantly raved about.
So in the store the colour looked a bit dark and scary and maybe a bit too much but after using it I instantly fell in love with it, the colour is quite dark but blend it a bit and problem
solved. It has a slight shimmer but its not too much but the perfect amount which gives an amazing summer glow to the face without creating a weird orange line. This bronzer is great for contouring.
This bronzer is priced at £26 which is very expensive for a bronzer but I think in this case you pay for what you get.
Overall I love Nars Laguna Bronzer and I think this product will be living in my make up bag for a long time.
