REAL TECHNIQUES MIRACLE COMPLEXION SPONGE

So after being very reluctant to fork out for a beauty blender, I decided to purchase the real techniques miracle complexion sponge. 

At first I really didn't like it, but that's because I was completely using it wrong. I used it dry😔  So, after watching a few YouTube tutorials on it I tried it wet, first of all just using water. And I really, really, liked it! It honestly applies foundation so flawlessly just by bouncing it along your skin! Normally when I use a brush I go out and realise a bit hasn't been blended as good as I had hoped probably from rushing because I'm late! But with this you hardly have to blend or do anything! Then last week I tried dampening it with my fix+ and it was amazing. As fix+ is a finishing spray it makes your foundation last all day! And applying foundation like this is effortless, which is great as I'm always late! It's sort of egg sized and shaped with a flat bottom and pointed top so you can get into all of the nooks and crannies of your face! Overall I love this sponge and won't be forking out for a beauty blender as I feel it works perfect for what I want! And for £5.99 you can't go wrong! So if you're in need of a new foundation brush, look no further!

VELVET TEDDY REVIEW...

Hi Internet, it's been a long time... I'm a crappy blogger I know! I don't even have an excuse, I have nothing to blame. But I'm back!

I am obsessed with Mac lipsticks and have only just started building my collection. My first lipstick was Velvet Teddy which I got for Christmas from my parents. It's so perfect. It's the perfect brown toned nude matte. 

Kylie Jenner's rumoured lip colour too... Honestly out of my collection so far it's my favourite. It stays on literally for hours even when you eat and drink! It's just...amazing!

Honestly I've recommended it to soooo many people! It's a universal colour and will suit any skin tone. For me, this product is 10/10! Everyone go buy it right now! And for £15.50 the price isn't bad for what you're paying for!

Here goes nothing...

Hi internet,
I've always been quite reserved around people I don't know and there are more than 2 billion people online. 2 billion people I don't know reading this (well realistically it'll probably just be me reading it, maybe my mum, might show my dog.) So starting a blog seems like a grand idea doesn't it. (note the sarcasm)
   The internet has always been a strange thing for me, I'm slightly obsessed with it- just like the rest of our teen culture- but so aware of how easily things can go wrong on it. You don't know who you're talking to. Which is a scary thought, but also appeals to so many of us. You can be who you are, without the fear of being judged (by people you see daily anyway). You can find friends, love, fame, fortune all on this one place. It's amazing. But you can also find paedophiles, shame and debt.
  You're probably wondering who I even am, I'm Hollie, 18 and in college. Exciting stuff. No, more like shitting-myself-for-the-future-because-I-don't-know-what-I-want-to-do stuff. Oh and also, I failed most of my AS levels last year so this year is kind of a big deal for the rest of my life. Nothing too serious... But anyway I'm just trying to get through it with decent grades, enough to get me a job. And if you've read my about me and hate me for not liking bacon, I know its weird. I am aware.
  So what is my blog going to be about? Anything and everything. Bit of this, bit of that. Nothing too set in stone. And thats the problem I had creating my blog name. I wanted something general so I could talk about anything without my blog being confined. And here marks the beginning 8/2/15.

(Not the name I wanted but it's 2015 and everything else was taken)
