Seventeen Phwoarr Paint Concealer

Hey Lovelies, I hope your all having a nice weekend, sorry for hardly posting this week but I've been ill and I'm now feeling a bit better so I've got new post for you on the Seventeen Phwoarr Paint Concealer.

I've had this concealer for about a month but only just started using it the last couple weeks but I'm so glad I did, it has now become one of my favourite concealers.

I had seen on YouTube and blog posts that this was a good concealer and I had a Boots voucher for £1 off primers or concealers at Seventeen so I thought I would give the concealer a go and I've been really impressed.

I have the lightest shade which is fair and it is quite light but I find it brightens up my under eyes as well as hiding my under eye circles. There is only a few shades to the concealer so the downside is it won't match everyone's skin tone. All the concealers have an orange tone to them which I've never had a concealer like that before but it counteracts the darkness of the under eye circles.

The concealer is creamy and easy to apply and isn't cakey and blend really well and it covers my under eye circles really well, so you couldn't ask for more in a concealer.

The packaging is really cute and sleek and I like that it has a mirror, so this makes it easy to apply when your on the go.

Overall I think it's an amazing concealer and for only £5.49 you can't go wrong, if your in search for a new concealer I would highly recommend this concealer.

What do you think to the Seventeen Phwoarr Paint?

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Elusive

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice weekend, today I have got a review on the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Elusive, I'm probably a little late to this bandwagon but oh well here's my thoughts on them.

I have tried the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains before and I loved them, so I was excited to try these new balm lip crayons.

The shade I have is Elusive it's a slightly darker than a natural colour on me and is a really nice pink. It will be great for spring and summer time.

Even though it is matte, it's not drying and is creamy and quite moisturising which I really like because that's what sometimes puts me off matte lip products because I think they will be drying.

The Matte Balm is also really pigmented and long lasting which I always look for in a lip product.

It contains Shea, Mango and Coconut Butter which does help to keep your lips moisturised and has a light peppermint taste to it but I don't mind it.

I like the packaging and the twist up crayon, I know it's not to everyone's taste.

These cost £7.99 like the other balm stains which I think is an alright price as I really like them. 

Overall I think these are great lip products and would definitely recommend them and I definitely want to try more shades.

The Beauty Scenario Tag

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice day. I was tagged by Victoria as a YouTube video but I decided I would do the tag on my blog instead, so here it is.

 1. You have to get rid of all your foundations and you can only keep one high end and one drugstore, which do you keep?
For drugstore I would say the Bourjois Healthy Mix and for highend I've only ever tried MAC Studio Fix so I would say that for highend but I really want to try Nars Sheer Glow, I don't have many foundations and there usually drugstore.

2. You go for an interview and the lady interviewing you has lipstick on her teeth. Do you approach the subject or ignore it completely?
I think it depends on the situation if your being interviewed by someone you know or if it's a practise interview with friends or family as you know them I would tell them as I don't think they would mind. If it was someone I didn't know I probably wouldn't say anything as I wouldn't want to make it awkward.

3. You're not feeling yourself and need a pick me up. Which lipstick do you put on to make yourself feel beautiful?
A lipstick I would probably choose to pick me up, would be MAC Russian Red it's a beautiful red shade and always makes me feel elegant and beautiful when I wear it and it makes you look more done up and like you have made an effort.

4. You go back in time for a day to your teenage years, how would you do your hair and makeup differently?
I'm 19 so I'm still a teenager but early teenage years I would say, when I first started wearing makeup I would use blue eyeshadow/eyeliner and it didn't look great, I should have started of with neutrals. For hair I would just say to make more of an effort I never did much with it.



5. You ask your hairdresser for a shoulder length Pixie Lott hair cut, but they hear wrong and give you a pixi cut. Do you a) Smile, say thank you, leave and call your mum hysterical b) Cry in the chair and things get awkward or c) Complain to the manager and demand a refund.
Luckily I've never really had a bad hair cut, there was only one time and I didn't like it but didn't say anything and said thank you but now I would probably complain but once it's happened you won't be able to do much about it.

6. Your friend surprises you with a 4 day city break and you have 1 hour to pack. Which 'do it all' palette do you pack in your makeup bag?
The palette I would choose is an 88 eyeshadow palette I have as it's got every shade I would need to create whatever look I want, it has neutrals, pinks, purples, blue, greens and smokey shades.

7. Your house has been robbed, don't worry everyone is safe, but your beauty stash has been raided. What's the product you really hope is safe?
This is hard I have quite a lot of makeup, I would say my highend products would be the products I want safe as I would find it hard to repurchase as I don't have the most amount of money. Out of my highend products I would probably say my MAC lipsticks I just love them.

8. Your friend borrows your makeup and returns it in awful condition. Do you a) Just pretend you haven't noticed b) Ask them to repurchase it or c) Secretly do the same to something of theirs.
I don't think any of my friends would do that to my makeup but if they did, depending on the friend I would just make a joke out of it but I wouldn't ask them to repurchase it and wouldn't do the same to their makeup and it probably would have been an accident, know one intentionally ruins makeup.

If you have done this tag, let me know would love to see your answers and I tag anyone who hasn't done this tag.

MAC Snob Lipstick

Hey Lovelies, hope you've all had a nice weekend. Today I've got a post on MAC's Snob lipstick.

 I have a love hate relationship, sometimes I like the shade and sometimes I'm not sure on it as I find it a hard lipstick to pull off.

I got this lipstick a couple months ago for my birthday from my lovely sister, I had never really considered this shade before but I think it is a nice shade.

Snob is a light pink shade with purpley undertones, it is build able so you can have it as a light pink or darker. I find it a hard shade to wear so I usually use a lipliner or lipgloss or both to get it to the shade that I find I can pull off and I like. This shade will be perfect for darker skintones I think, I'm quite pale and find it hard to wear.

The lipstick is a satin finish so it's quite moisturising and really pigmented like most MAC lipsticks which I really like.

As always the MAC packaging is really sleek in the black bullet and I always really like their packaging.

MAC lipsticks cost £15 which is quite a lot, I just hope they don't raise their prices anymore.

I'm still on the fence if I like the lipstick or not just because I find it, a hard shade to wear.

Do any of you have MAC's Snob, what do you think to it?

Mr Nutcase Personalised Phone Case

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice day, Mr Nutcase were looking for bloggers to review personalised phone cases so I jumped at the chance, I always think personalised phone cases look really cute and was excited to design and have my own personalised case.

My personalised phone case has pictures of me, my family and friends, I think it's really cute and love having it on my phone, it also brings back lots of memories which is really nice. You can have any sort of pictures you want on your case.

Mr Nutcase has cases for lots of type of phones including Iphones, Samsungs, Sony Ericssons and Blackberry's  and tablets, which I think is good as some personalised phone  case websites only do it for a certain type of phone usually Iphones.

The site and designing the case is really easy you just choose your phone, type of case and then the design you want and you upload the pictures and put them they way you want. It then will show you what the case will look like when you finish and you can go back and change it if you don't like something and then buy it. 

The case is really light weight and has the pictures on the back and clear around the edges of the case.

The delivery was really quick and only took 2 days to come and it was in a padded envelope and the case was in a plastic bag so it didn't get damaged. 

Most of the cases cost from £14.95 which I think is a reasonable price and the delivery is free.

If your looking for a personalised phone case then you should definitely go to the Mr Nutcase site.

Revlon Colorburst Peony Lipgloss

Hey Lovelies, I know I've not posting a lot in the last few weeks but I've been busy but also I've not been in the right mind set, so now I'm back I'm more happier and feel better and I want to get back in to posting more regularly again with good posts for you.

So here's a new post on Revlon Peony Lipgloss.

I've had this lipgloss for a couple months and after seeing Velvetghost's videos with this lipgloss it looked gorgeous so I wanted to buy it.

This lipgloss is a peachy/pink shade with golden shimmer that is just a beautiful shade and looks great with a variety of pink and nude lipsticks, it especially goes perfect with the Cheryl Nude. The shimmer isn't too much and isn't very noticeable so it doesn't make your lips like a disco ball.

The lipgloss isn't sticky which I always think is great in a lipgloss as I don't particularly like sticky lipglosses. It's quite moisturising and feels really nice on the lips.

It lasts quite a while but like most lipglosses I own they don't last too long, it does wear off after about a couple of hours but even sooner if you have something to eat but I don't think that is too bad. It is really pigmented too which I like as I know with some lipglosses they can be quite opaque.

It has a sponge applicator that is so easy to apply the lipgloss with. The packaging is really sleek looking and is slim so it never takes much space up in my bag which is another bonus.

These lipglosses cost £7.99 and you can get from Boots or Superdrug and there is currently 3 for 2 on in Boots so you could get them for cheaper.

Overall I think the Revlon Lipglosses are amazing and I definitely want to try more shades out.

Hope you enjoyed the post, what do you think to the Revlon lipglosses?

Harry Potter London Studio

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice day. It's not a long post today but I thought I would share my experience at the Harry Potter Studio with you.

If you didn't know I went to the Harry Potter Studio on Monday and I filmed and took pictures while I was there and I thought I would share it with you all. 

It was amazing I loved every minute of it and if you ever get the chance you should go visit it, so here's some of my photo's of the day.

Hope you enjoyed.

L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Collection Privee Cheryl Nude

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice day, sorry for not blogging as much recently I've just been quite busy but I will try to blog more again.

I've had this lipstick for a couple months but I'm only just getting round to review it. I saw this on Velvetghosts video and it looked so stunning on her so I wanted to try it and I do love a good nude lipstick. I also love Cheryl Cole I think she's amazing and she always looks gorgeous so this was another reason for me wanting this lipstick.

There's quite a few nudes in this collection by other celebrities and I really want to try more of them. The other nudes are by Eva, Juilanne, Doutzen and Frieda, there's a nude to suit all skin tones.

The Cheryl nude I have is a pinky nude and it's such a perfect nude for me, it's not too light so it doesn't wash me out, which is often a reason I don't like wearing nude lipstick but I love this shade.

The lipstick is really pigmented, moisturising and long lasting on the lips.Which I really like in a lipstick.

This nude it's perfect to wear with a smokey eye but you could also wear it with a natural look and it will still look nice.

I have been loving wearing this lipstick and Revlon Peony lipgloss combo, it goes together really nicely and I will be doing a review of the lipgloss soon.

The packaging is really nice and sleek, which I also really like.

The lipstick costs £8.19 which I think is a reasonable price and  I've seen you can get it cheaper online if you don't want to pay that price.

Overall I think it's a great lipstick and highly recommend it as it will be a nice nude for most people and I've always loved l'oreal lipsticks there a great brand.

Have any of you tried the nude collection, what do you think to it?

Beauty Life Tag

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice day, I wanted to do a tag post seen as I've been doing a lot of product reviews and wanted to change it up, I'm going to be doing the TMI tag soon on my YouTube so I was looking and couldn't really find any tags I wanted to do, so I thought I would create one and here it is.

1. How long does it take to apply your makeup?
When I'm going to college it takes me about half an hour but when I'm not in a rush it takes about 1 hour. If I'm going out at night it can take 1-2 hours as I like to spend more time on it.

2. What made you get into beauty?
This is tough one to answer as my mum never really wore makeup or talked to me about beauty. When I was at schools girls started to wear makeup and I wanted to. Then I started watching YouTube videos and reading blog posts and it made me more interested in beauty and I started buying more products and experimenting. I just love beauty and creating different looks.

3. What is the most amount of money you have spent on a beauty product?
I have mostly drugstore/highstreet products and buy high end occasionally or get them as presents but the most I have probably spent is about £20 but I also don't like spending a lot of money on beauty products as you can get cheaper alternatives and you can spend the rest of the money more wisely on something important that you need.

4. One product you can't live without?
For me I would probably say mascara as I have short eyelashes and mascara makes a lot of difference to my eyes.

5. Favourite overall brand?
This is a tough one as I have products from lots of different brands but I would probably say MAC as I've tried quite a few products from them and I love a lot of there products and they have everything you need.

6. Would you rather wear the wrong foundation shade or have lipstick on your teeth?
I would say lipstick on my teeth as if someone tells you or you notice, you can take it off but if your wearing the wrong foundation shade it will be harder to correct.

7. Do you take your makeup off properly or use a makeup wipe?
I'm not the best beauty blogger in this respect as I do use a makeup wipe to take my makeup off but I do use micellar solution as well but I need to have a better regime.

8. When applying a full face of makeup, what one item could you do without wearing?
When I wear a full face of makeup I love wearing foundation, eye makeup and lipstick so I couldn't not wear them so for me I would say blusher because for a long time I didn't wear it and my cheeks are quite pink anyway so I don't really need it.

9. Some beauty products on your wishlist.
There hasn't really been much I've been wanting but I would say the Naked 3 but it is a lot of money and don't know if I would invest in it and the Revlon Balm Stains, I love the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains so I really want to try the new balm stains.

10. Do you have makeup free days?
I wear makeup the majority of the time but days when I'm not going anywhere or just visiting family I won't wear makeup but I do feel a lot more confident and comfortable when I wear makeup.

That is it for the questions, I hope you enjoyed it and found it interesting and I tag you all to do it, leave a comment down below or tweet me at @ashleighcarrxx if you do the tag would love to see your answers.

Specific people I'm going to tag are:
Alessia
Kayleigh
Danielle
Ellie
India
Sophia

Bourjois Cream Blush in Rose Tender

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice day, I also got this blush from lovely Alessia, I had heard so many good things about these blushes so I wanted to try them.

Bourjois is a quite popular brand but I've not tried many things from them, I love their healthy mix foundation though it's such a nice foundation.

When these blushes first came out, nearly everyone bought them but I've only just got it and I absolutely love it and get the hype about them.

I have the shade Rose Tender which is a pinky peachy shade that gives a nice natural flush of colour and a nice glow. This shade will be great for all year round.

These blushers are the cream to powder which I've never tried before but I think is great, I'm more of a powder blush type a person but have cream blushes, so this is a nice alternative.

I just use my finger to apply the blush and blend them in but you could use a brush. The texture of the blush is silky and soft and it's really easy to blend.

The blushers are only £7.99 which is a reasonable price and the other shades look great and I think they will suit pale to medium skin tones.

Overall I think these are great blushers that I have loved wearing and I'm so glad I got to try this blush and I definitely want to try more.

What do you think to the Bourjois cream blushers?
