7 underrate makeup brands

Hello guys.


Most girls...(and some very girly guys) love makeup but as you all know it can get expensive QUICK!Too Faced and Urban Decay for exspaple, great brand and worth the price don't get me wrong but €50 for a lip stick is a bit expensive.So thats why I made this blog post, 1 to show girls starting off with makeup that you don't need to go splashing your cash for something you don't need YET or don't know how to work properly.2 and that theres great brands selling basically the same thing but for a fraction of the price.


Brand 1: essence

This is a brand that I see every time I go to the shops.I've tried a couple of their products, the nails polishes are amazing and right now they have great summer colours.They have so many lip produces such as lip glosses,lipsticks,lip liners and lip balms.If you look on their website and maybe some shops you will see their amazing cheap pallets.







Brand 2:milani
Now Ive never tried this brand but some bloggers talked about so I thought I might mention it to you guys  anyway, their packing is GOALS!Its quite cheap too.
Rose Powder Blush
Brand 3:l.a. girl
This brand seems to be on back order everywhere and on every beauty Youtube video and blog.Their colour correctors are the most famous thing ever and they have this brick colour palate that looks like the Naked one.


Brand 4:pacifica beauty

Once again never purchased this put I've heard a lot go great things about it.Its a little bit on the pricey side for me but then again  €14 isn't that bad.

Brand 5:colour pop
This brand is raved about 10000 times a day, there eyeshadows and lip glosses are the most loved ,with the hundreds of colours.And my,my, my is it cheap!

Shadow-Un 
Brand 6:black radiance makeup
I think this is a very dark and berry colour brand but then you dig deeper into the website theres pink lip sticks! Plus most of the lip sticks are €1.99.
PERFECT TONE™ MATTE LIP COLORBrand 7: e.l.f.
This is one of the most affordable brands out there like €7 for 32 eyeshadow just blows my mind,and with their new line of colour correcting and since thats the new rage Im sure its going to be good.
Endless Eyes Pro Mini Eyeshadow Palette - Limited Edition Natural Natural Palette

Corrective Concealer Neutralize & Conceal Corrective Concealer

Brand 8:lox beauty
This brand was started up by 1 girl in her house and was hand made by her , the eyeshadow pressed by hand and all.
(sorry it won't let me show you a photo so just go to her website and tell her I sent you)

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and tell me is you want a blog post on my MAGON experience or what I wore or thought about it.

life hacks tried & tested

Hello guys.


So you know when your on pinterest and you see this amazing idea or life hack but you don't know if it will actually work... well thats what happened to me this morning and thats where I got the idea to do this blog post.


Life hack:1

Is for those sweaty people.
Lets pretend that you are at a tea party or a picnic on hot summers day and theres sandwiches,lemonade and cupcakes and you start to get really oily or sweating and you don't have oil blotting sheets on you so you use a cupcake paper holder.
So what you want to do is get you cupcake paper holder and flatten it out like this. ↡↡↡↡↡↡↡↡↡↡↡↡↡↡
Just use your finger to do that.
Next you want to be oily/sweaty.Now I wasn't oily or sweaty when I was taken theses photos so I improvised by pouring water over my face.
Then I just dambed away the sweat or water in my case away.

You can kind of see the water there.
And now you just throw it away.
This works I don't know when you would really need this though.

Life hacks:2
You know when you just love your perfume so much that you want you hold body to smell like that sent but you've all ready bought the body wash,the body scrub,the body butter and candle but your hairs still smells boring ... well then this is for you!This life hack is to make your hair smell like your perfume!will it work?
First you will need your hair brush I have 2 but I only use my tangle teaser.
 Then you will need you favourite perfume mine is the Ted Baker one that is mint...well thats what the Boots website called it.
 Justs spray the perfume on your brush.
 Then brush it through your hair.BOOM!
Now this did not work on my hair obviously!look this frizz ball! I give this a thumbs down.It didn't even smell like it but it might of just been my brush/hair/perfume.
Life hacks:3
Is for those Instagram lovers who just love the theme vsco cam but can't seem to get it right.Well heres a hack for it.
For those who do not know VSCO CAM is a filter.Mylifeaseva does it too. This is the way to a perfect Instagram feed.↡↡↡↡↡↡↡↡

Filter: C1 (+8)
Exposure: -1
Contrast: -2
Saturation: +1
Temperature: -3

I give this a thumbs up it made some photos look amazing.
Life hack:4
This is for the people that love colour, that love eyeshadow and who love pigment.This hack should make your eyeshadow pop.

 You need to find a white eyeshadow base or a white eyeliner.
 Cover your whole entire lid white the white eyeliner,I only did one eye to show you the differents.
 Next just go about doing your shadow.I went for one of the brightest colour in the palette!


Boom so you can see the differents.On the left ↞ you can see its a lot brighter than the right side ↠
So I give this a thumbs up.
Life hack:4
This is for people that love makeup but are too lazy to clean their brushes or just don't when to spend a lot of money on cleaners and rubber gloves to clean it.

First take a warm glass of water probably bigger then my cup and add 1 drop of baby shampoo into the cup.


Now that your dirty brushes (mine don't look that dirty here but believe me they are very dirty.

Now soak the brushes for 20 minutes.
Yours might look a little like this after the 20 minutes↡↡↡↡↡

Now just wash it out with warm water & then do the same in cold water.
Then  pat them down on a towel and then let them dry.

This works with baby oil as well! I give this a thumbs ups.
Life hack:5
This hack is for those people who play in the grass or basically anyone who walks in shoes with either a white solo or just the whole show is white.

 Just get some shoes and some nail polish remover which a cotton pad or ball.

 Just wipe your white rubber sole of the shoe and boom it will be clean!
Bye guys hope you guys these life hacks tweet me you pictures all social medias down there↡↡↡↡↡
