Random Favourites


As its the summer holidays I don't have much to do as I've finished all my series on Netflix and its raining most days here in England, I thought that I would update the blog for the second time this week. So I'm gonna tell you about my recent favourites ,to start this off I'm going to talk about my music favourites. When it comes to music I like R&B ,trap and some pop songs too, the artists I love are Drake, Childish Gambino, Bryson tiller and Jhené Aiko. The songs I've been loving are : Jaden Smith - Fallen; Jhené Aiko - while we're young ; Childish Gambino - Me and your mama; Bryson Tiller - Self Righteous and Tyler, The Creator - 911 / Mr Lonely . Most of these songs are actually not new but I've either rediscovered them or just stumbled across them while listening to music I already know .

Now onto make up favourites ,I don't have many this month because I haven't tried out that many new products. So my first new favourite is the NYX total control drop foundation and I'm in the shade caramel (15), I really like this foundation and I think it has quite a wide range of shade for a drugstore priced foundation  (retailing at £14) but you do need more drops than the packaging says and it is smaller than the average foundation which is 1Fl.Oz /30ml. The Maybelline eye erase concealer is my new favourite ,its really full coverage and has a creamy texture and blends out very well.

Not really been loving that much recently just being boring and sticking to old habits as per usual. Thank you for reading xx <3

I don't know what to call this ...

Lets be real I'm not going to be updating this every week ,I'm quite busy because I have moc's coming up so I have to revise. Also it has been soo warm here in the U.K so I haven't been able to function as well as I normally do ,anyway enough of my excuses.

I want to talk about something more serious, I really think that I needs to be spoken about it. So as you probably all know that on the 22nd of may ,twenty two innocent lives were taken.  It sickens me as it is soo close to home as this happened in Manchester. Its so sad to think that anyone could do this to a mainly younger group of people ,I think Ariana Grande was very strong for coming back here and setting up one love. I am so proud of Manchester for being so strong even with all the terrible things going on in our world. I also give my love to the families affected in the attack in London and the people affected in the Grenfell fire.   

On a lighter note, I have recently been reading Jennifer Nivens ,all the bright places, this book is a great read as its coming up to the summer I have been reading a lot more as I don't have much else to do as I don't have much school work as we are coming to he end of the term. I recommend this book to girls in high school around the age of 13.What I have learnt from this story is that you shouldn't always think you know what's going on in someone's life just by observing ,you don't know what goes on behind closed doors people could literally be going through a personal hell. This story talks about to teens that have both had suicidal urges , the characters both meet on the top of a roof where
'Violet' is contemplating suicide but she meets Theodore Finch. I really recommend this book. Thanks for reading xx <3


edit : I wrote this like a month and a half ago, I have FINALLY finished school so I might be posting more often.

Soo... no.2

As you  see I haven't posted anything apart from my introduction, and well that was 8 months ago so ... sorry. But I really do want to start posting a lot more often like one a week or once every two weeks ,anyway , I'll mainly be posting about make up that I love because I've been wearing it for a little longer obviously since its been soo long since my last post.

So this post isn't so short I'm gonna do a 'what I'm loving at the moment' , a while ago I purchased the Mac fix+ and I literally love it. I HATE cakey make up it one of my biggest pet peeves but I spray fix+ on my face and it just evens out my base. As we are talking about setting sprays a cheaper alternative is the NYX fixing spray it is really good at giving you  a matte finish for only £8. The Mac spray is a bit different as it evens out your base and gives you a dewy finish, so it depends on the way you like to have your make up but I think NYX do a version that is dewy but I might be wrong.

Another thing I've been loving is Ka-brow by Benefit I have actually had this since about July last year and used it for about 2 months and I then I got my Dipbrow (which I also recommend), I just stopped using it but I've just fell in love with it and I'm soo happy I did cause its so quick and easy to use and  to travel with because it has a brush with it which is really thin so you can make natural hair like strokes. 

And finally I have been using the shade espresso in my Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit as a bronzer and I think it works great for me when  have my no make up makeup days which is most days lol. I know you can just get the refill on beauty bay, and at the moment instead of being £14 they are £4.20 !!! I might have to get a few more of the shades !

thanks for reading you never know I might not ever post again haha xx <3

Introduction

A blog ... where do I start , well I have been wearing make up for about a year now so i'm not the best so I cant give you the best advice but I will try. I wanted to make a blog because I was inspired by so many people that started off with a blog and they have become "big",, I don't care about fame really I just want people to read and listen to what I have to say. I love make up but before I started using make up I always used skin care products like Liz Earl and Elemis , I feel like you don't get new skin so make it last !! Thanks for reading Saffron xx  <3
