Everyday Makeup

Hi everyone!

I know it's been a little while since I last posted but it's been a really busy week of exams for me and I honestly just haven't had the time or drive to sit down and write. So, I thought I'd leave it rather than write something really sloppy that no one will enjoy! 

Today I actually had a day off (hence why I have time to sit down and do this) and I only have 3 exams left and so I will be completely finished by Friday! This means I will have loads of free time for the next 11 or 12 weeks to write regular posts so make sure you keep an eye out for all of that!

Anyway, today I thought I'd share a really simple makeup look that I have been wearing quite a lot on the days where I actually have the time and energy to put any on! I've actually been really good with giving myself a break lately which has been really good for it!

So, basically this is the look I've been using for the past month or so which really takes no time at all but looks like you've actually put some effort in - so it's a win-win situation really!

To start off with, these are all the products I used to create this look:

Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

W7 Eyebrow Pencil - No link, sorry!

Natural Collection Eye Liner

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

e.l.f. Shimmer Gloss

Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Mascara

In this photo, all of the skin products are on but nothing else.

At this point I have added the eyeliner.

And that was just some nice posing of the final look there for you!

I also thought it would be helpful to have a couple of close ups of the main features of the look - the eyes and lips.

I have re-discovered my brown eyeliner recently and I have been absolutely loving it! If you have blue eyes like me, brown eyeliner will be your best friend. It brings out the colour of your eyes so much better than black eyeliner does so I really do urge you to go and get yourself one, even if you don't have blue eyes just give it a go!

I hope you enjoyed this as I haven't really done a makeup tutorial in a while and I know this one was quite simple and brief, but I hope you all liked it nonetheless! 

Love, Becca

Review: Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Hair and Scalp Treatment

As you may have seen in my first Pink Parcel box opening, I received the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Hairand Scalp Treatment which I was very excited about! So, today I decided to review it since I’ve used up the 22ml sample Pink Parcel supplied me with!

Now obviously I received this product as part of a monthly subscription so I only received a sample of the product, not a whole size container of it. However, I think with this product a little really would go a long way. I only had a 22ml sachet and I think I got 5 or 6 uses out of it, and as you’ve seen in my photos, I have relatively long hair – and I did use it all over my hair every time.

Full price for a 500ml bottle of this is around £25-£30 and I have linked you to the product at the start of the post if you would like to shop this product. So, for the price you are paying for a full bottle of this, it has to be worth it.

So here’s my verdict.

I used the product all over my scalp and all the way down the rest of my hair. I didn’t actually massage it for the 3-5 minutes that it suggests but that’s just because I’m lazy. However, when I did rinse it off after about a minute and a half to two minutes of massaging, my hair felt noticeably different. It’s that really nice feeling you get after using a really good conditioner and it felt really good.

Tea tree for me always has a cooling effect on whatever area of my body I use it on and I found that after I had used this, my scalp felt very cool and refreshed. This sounds weird, and it was a weird feeling for me at first but once you get used to it it’s actually really nice. If you suffer with sensitive scalp, this may be of use to you. I found the cooling effect really refereshing because I often get an itchy scalp (it’s not nits, I promise I just have a really sensitive scalp) and using this product really cooled and soothed it which was really nice for me.

Another thing I noticed with this product was that it changed how my hair felt quite drastically really. I could see the improvement on the damaged ends of my hair and my hair honestly felt amazing. I was going round getting everyone in my family to feel it because it honestly felt so soft!

Overall, I thought this was a really good product and I really enjoyed using it! 

I hope you enjoyed this little review - I feel like it's been ages since I did a proper review for you! 

See you next time!

Love, Becca
