Soap and Glory kick Ass Concealer review

Hey guuuuuys,

Soo i'm in love with my benefit erase paste but it's never really lasted very long under my eyes and after a few hours it's back to old dark circle eyes soooo I picked up Soap and Glory's Kick Ass Concealer in the shade 'light' for £10 in Boots and so far am rather impressed. It contains two concealers, one peachy in tone to conceal under eye blue-ness and the other more yellowey to cover spots. It also has a translucent powder which the box calls a sealing powder, so my guess is that it prolongs wear.

The pics below show my eye and red blemishes (i share way too much with you guys) before and after the concealer along with numerous swatches and photos of the packaging.

RATING- 8/10 I've only used it a handful of times and so yet to know if its a ten out of ten wonder product but so far im pretty darn impressed. It seems to cover up well and matches my skin tone almost perfectly.

REPURCHASE? Most certainly, it is a little pricey for a high street/ drugstore concealer but hey, you pay for what you get right?

I would love to know your favourite concealer for under eye circles as mine are a right pain!

Love you lots! Lucy xxx

What Liam got me for my Birthday!

Hey guys :)

so one week and 6 days after Christmas Day (much to my parents annoyance) is my Birthday. And Liam (aka my gorgey bf) spoilt me rotten.

Some things not in the pic are the new girl box set and Sarah Millican DVD, they're at his so we can watch them together.

I'm still like 7years old in my brain and LOVE tangled, so when I opened this 'tangled ever after' book, i just almost cried. He also got me the fun album, I'm a massive fun fan and now I can put their album on my iPad yaaay. The next beaut is a 'wonka selection in a jar' which is quite simply a jar full on wonka sweets there are nerds, nerds and more nerds, giant nerds, nerds on a robe, laafy taffy (yum), shockers, bottle caps, kazoos, gobstoppers, runts, giant sweettartsnand a crap load of other things. I'm a massive sweet fan, like I'd rather have sweets than chocolate anyday (anyone else like that too?) so this is possibly the best present anyone could buy me, except for my 'big present' when I saw it just :O I GOT RAY BANS!!!! They are the Erika make and are cream with a gorgey dark brown to blue lens. I love them sosososososososososososososooooo much and I am just gob smacked that he got them for me!!

So that is what Liam got me (and I love him crap loads) and I will soon be posting what I got off family and friends and also what I got for Christmas.

Hope you all have a lovely Thursday.
Lots of Love, Lucy xxx

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Hey guys :)

so I'm a terrible person I know, my blogging has gone out the window the past month or so and I am so very sorry. I had work every day for like 6 hours and I also had 10,000 (!!!!!!!!) words to do for uni over Christmas (8600 words down, 1400 to go). And it was Christmas obvs, and then on the 7th of January it was my 20th birthday, so between like being super excited and then sad because I'm no longer a teen, it's been peeeeretty crazy. My last two assignments are due in Monday and Tuesday and after that I have until February until uni returns and so for two or so weeks I am all yourssss!

Anyway............. I am planning a 'what I got for Christmas' post a 'what I got for my birthday' post a 'faves of 2012' post and a tonne of reviews of stuff I got, and I wanted to wait to show you my new amazingly amazing toy, but I can't waitttt...and I'm doing this post on it so I can't tell where picture is going to end up but THAT is the box from my new iPad mini :D. I couldn't justify my parents spending like £270 on me so they gave me what they usually spend (£100) and I added the rest with the money I've earnt over crimbo. I love it so very much!

So sorry, slight essay. But that is where I've been/what is coming.

Oh and I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and new year!

Lots of love, Lucy xxx

Happy November!

Hey guys!

So ehm...It's November...What!?

That month went a bit quickly, infact the whole year is zooming past, I could almost swear that the summer holidays only just ended. So anyway this is just a short post updating you on why i'm being such a terrible blogger and such things. So I gathered the second year at Uni would be pretty much the same as the first year...WRONG! My gosh, I have so much more work this year, for each lecture every week I have around 3, 80 page chapters to read for the next lesson. It's crazy stuff. I also just started a new job at Asda, which is great and i'm really loving. The people I work with are lovely, but it does mean that i'm neglecting my blog a little and rarely have time to post.

I can't say i've bought too much recently although i'll hopefully be doing another collective blog soon. My monthly faves and monthly music are still to come as well as a few reviews (soap and glory eye liner, balmi lip balm etc etc). I will hopefully start to do some more OOTDs and am planning to start weekly Intagram pictures and I will finish the 30 day photography challenge at some point, promise!

Anyway, I'm sure the large majority of you don't care too much about where i've been but just incase you've been wondering, there it is.

I hope you're all having a lovely week!

Lots of love, Lucy xx
