Makeup storage:

Heylo! Months ago I ordered a wooden storage container for my makeup. I kept getting letters and emails saying it was going to be 2 weeks late, then another 2 weeks were added on top etc. So I finally got it a few days ago. I put a few makeup/haircare/skincare inside the little compartments so you can see it in its full glory. I haven't decided what else to put in it yet, but I will do soon. Right now its in my bathroom, but I may move it to my bedroom once its decorated (hopefully soon).

Its white and made from very light wood. I got it for around £19.95 but the original price was around £29.95. The website I ordered from is called house of bath. I wasn't impressed with how long it took, and I'm glad I got it on offer as the usual price seems a bit pricey for the quality. I think its back to the higher price now. It is nice though, and very handy to have for extra storage, definitely nice to put on show.

That's all for today, I have some reviews coming up shortly,

Boots haul:

Hello! I nipped into Boots earlier and picked up some things I needed/wanted.

• I ran out of my Garnier Micellar water last week, it lasted me three months which is great! I got the last one off the shelf, lucky me!
•  I misplaced my nail polish remover so just picked up this cheap one from there for £1. 
• For some time I've been eyeing up peaches and clean by Soap and Glory (deep purifying cleanser), and with  few quid off, I was like yep I'm having that!
• The last remaining Rimmel powder I've been using smashed up into tiny pieces (really hate that) they didn't really have any I wanted. I tend to go for the Maybelline, collection or Rimmel powders as they all do a good job. I have used Boots natural collection before, and because I'm trying to budget I picked their version up for around £1.99, it did a good job when I used it in the past.
• And finally I picked up another gelly hi-shine nail paint by Barry M in Green Berry. I love these, and this is a very summer colour. I'm actually painting my nails with it right now.

That's all for today, I am now officially broke until payday =],

Twitter:

Hello everyone! I have had a Twitter set up since sometime around January 2013, but never used it! I thought it would be a great idea to use it combined with my blog, follow and chat to other beauty bloggers (or anyone interested in beauty in general). Its taken me a while to use this Twitter, and its about time too..

I will also be putting healthy eating ideas on (like Iv'e touched on, on my blog here and there) lots of pics etc =]...maybe some exercise based posts too!

My twitter is @xxLazerlipsxx , feel free to follow me and I will follow you back =D,

Whats in my shower/shower routine:

Hey there, thought I would do something a little bit different for this post. I was intending to get this up lastnight but my laptop was playing up and wouldn't recognise my SDHC card, no idea why! But it worked tonight.

Ignore the wetness, I just literally had a shower before I took this picture, so everything's well...wet lol! I was going to do this a while ago, but got the urge to do it lastnight.

• So first up I use the St Ives apricot scrub, this ones for blemished skin, but I much prefer the original. I have been using this for ages, and its lasted so long. I love a good face scrub, and I use this at least once a week, sometimes twice. I've been using apricot scrubs since I was a teenager specifically for my acne. 
• Then I'll follow up with my Anew Vitale face wash by AVON, as you can see this sample size is lasting a while, and I try not to over use it, but I will use it everytime I shower. 
• I'll shampoo with my Elvive fibrology shampoo and then apply the conditioner. Sometimes I'll use the Elvive Fibrology mask instead of the conditioner or sometimes both, I only focus that on the very ends if I need it. Whilst the conditioner is soaking in I'll put my body scrub on. The one I'm using at the moment is the planet spa one by AVON (review coming up soon).
• I'll apply the body scrub everywhere, but focus on my legs and arms. I like to do this once a week, I also love a good body scrub.
• Then I'll follow up with a body wash/shower gel, I have quite a few which I switch around often, right now I have been using the Katy Perry Killer Queen one that I got in my gift set.
• Once I'm out of the shower I'll sometimes apply a body lotion, after this shower I put on the matching Katy Perry Killer Queen body lotion.
• Moving onto hair I'll either put on my argan oil serum (which I have talked about before) on the very ends of my hair or I'll put the Phil Smith argan oil cream into the ends and work it in (I'll put this from my ears down). I'll either blow dry my hair and style it or leave it to air dry if I'm not going out. I left it to air dry last night. This was a sample I got a while ago. It smells gorgeous and leaves your hair smoother and shinier. 
• I put all my face moisturisers on right before I go to bed. 

Hope you liked this post. I love a good nosy when it comes to whats in peoples showers, love to know what products people use etc. See you all soon with my next review, 

Avon supershock mascara review:

Hey you! I'm back with another review.

 

Ignore my unplucked eyebrows (pesky things), just quickly snapped a pic for you guys so you can see the results! This is after a few coats, most of the time I'll spend longer applying it.

I got this in that party gift set I purchased a little while ago, but I have used it a lot in the past. Here are my personal thoughts on the product:

• Works better after its been open a month or so in my opinion, seems to thicken slightly making it grip the lashes better and coat them even more.
• Its definitely a buildable mascara as you can create a natural look with this or build it up for more drama, which is something I like to do, I love dramatic lashes. I get the most from it when I build it up. 
• It separates lashes well, doesn't get too clumpy at all, but if it does its easy to correct.
• Its good for both length and volume if you build it up. Although I do have long lashes naturally my tips are blonde so lashings of this is a must!
• The brush is rather big and bulky, but I don't have any problems when using it.
• I love it, this gets an 8/10 from me.

see you all soon with more reviews,

Foundation purchase:

As  mentioned I have so many foundations I would love to try, and the next two on my list are these fab little purchases:

The first is the Maxfactor face finity all day flawless 3 in 1 foundation. This caught my eye a while ago, especially with it being 3 in 1- primer, concealer and foundation. Is this too good to be true? we shall find out! I got it in Light Ivory so hopefully it will be shade appropriate (unlike the Avon Ivory eek). It has SPF 20 in the formula too.

And the Rimmel Wake me up foundation. This has been around for so long, but I always decided against it because I have oily skin on the most part. I just really wanted to try it and couldn't resist the urge any longer! It comes in the shade Light Porcelain, how fab is that? should be a great shade for pale complexions. This also has an SPF of 15.

Once I have tried and tested these out you will be first to know my thoughts! Have you tried one or both of these foundations? were they a thumbs up or a thumbs down? opinions always welcome! See you all soon,

Perfume purchase:

Hello, hows everyone's Thursday going? Just a quick post to show you my recent purchase!

I went for Katy Perry Killer Queen as I received a sample from Superdrug months ago and really liked it. Its different to what I usually wear so thought I'd update my collection a little bit. To me its very fruity and fresh, hard to explain. I love the bottle, its unusual and quirky and reminds me of the film death becomes her ( the age defying potion lol)

This set only cost me £11.50 which was half price at Superdrug, how could I pass that offer up? Impossible! The perfume is only the 30ml size, and both the body lotion and shower gel are 75ml each. I think its a total bargain!

I have the other part of my mini haul coming up which consist of two foundations I have had my eye on for ages.

Elf eye primer review:

Hello I'm back again already! Lets get straight into it!

This is the mineral eyeshadow primer from ELF. I tried the cheaper version and really didn't like it as it did nothing for me at all. This is definitely better.

• Its light in texture
• feels like you have nothing on your eyelid when you apply it
• I'm not sure it does all that much to make eyeshadow last longer or to stop it from creasing 
• I tend to wear this on its own as a light concealer for my eyelid to conceal any redness or veins, it covers them enough when not wearing any eyeshadow. Only thing I'd say is it does crease a little when doing this, but if I rub my finger over it, its fixed easily!
• its cheap and cheerful

I would give this a 6/10, I have used it almost everyday since I got it! Not bad at all really. I will be back with more hauls soon, 

AVON foundation review:

Hello there! Time for a long awaited review, I shall start with the AVON foundations I got a few months ago.

Extra lasting foundation- I was very disappointed in this, because of the shade. I mixed it with a lighter coloured foundation as it looked too dark for ivory. I happened to notice my faced looked a tinged orange colour, which is so not the look I was going for. If this was lighter in shade I would totally wear it, was excited as it sounded promising. You cant tell from the picture, but in person it definitely looks darker than the ideal flawless. 4/10 due to the colour, but the finish would be good otherwise.

Ideal flawless- quite impressed with this one, its pale enough which is great! great start indeed. I wouldn't say it looks 'invisible' but it does look on the more natural side. As I stated in the haul, the pump was broken, then the pump got stuck in the lid not long after, and its a mess, just a mess lol. But its not a bad foundation. I tend to go easy when applying, because if you apply too much at once it goes cakey, and I have to take my time when spreading it out as to even out the application. I'd say depending on your preference its a light-medium coverage, as too much is too much with this foundation. I applied too much during the first try and it didn't sit well on my skin- little by little. 8/10.

I have ordered two more foundations to try, I am excited to receive them. Next up I have an Elf review. See you then,
