Evening all, It's a right miserable evening I must say. Are we due any nice weather at all? This January has apparently been the worst in a very long time. Anywho, onto my blog. I have heard so much about the Illamasqua foundations and had to try one but didn't want to splurge the cash on the chance I might not like it. In their recent sale, I got a cream foundation for £5. Woohoo. This packaging is huge. So much to deal with but it's what makes them stand out and so unique. You get a small sponge for application which is a very nice touch. Now onto the foundation itself. When I opened the box I was frightened haha. It looks so peachy to me. I thought they got the wrong colour but no. I picked CF150 as it's for light to medium skin with pink undertones. I am fair but not pale, I have redness on my cheeks and nose and I am pretty beige elsewhere. The majority of my face is red though. I used this foundation this morning and was really frustrate...

Hey there, Hope you're all well. Today was probably the coldest day this week so far. Brrrr. I was then thankful when my friend Jerry in New York told me the cold and snow there. I would hate for it to snow. Nooooo thank you. Today I have a review of a super duper bright nail varnish from Illamasqua. Yes, I sepia effected the picture so you have to read on and see this beaut. I got this in the sale for £5 but these normally retail here for £14.50 so I got a bargain and I'd been eye balling this colour for a while. This is RARE! Isn't it perfect? Now I am not like the normal girl out there, I love bright, weird colours haha. I might do a collection video this weekend. As you can see the brush is of a normal standard. The bottle to me seems small but you get 15ml of product and in a Barry M polish you get 10ml. Let's talk about the polish itself. I say nail polish not varnish and always have haha. Sorry. The formula isn't runny but not thick...

Hey guys, How are we all? Today I want to talk about a waterproof eyeliner I have so much about. This is the Rimmel Scandaleyes pencil in nude.   This nude liner is all the rage at the moment. I can definitely see why. When I look any eye look and I’m not putting dark liner on my water line I use this nude pencil. The idea is to make you look more awake.   I know before this trend, many used a white liner, especially the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk. I found that too harsh and made you look WIDE AWAKE, like 5 cans of Red Bull awake. It is a nice nude and these are so creamy. Are they waterproof? I don’t think so. I have seen it disappear after 2/3 hours on me but it is great on the inner corner and brow bone too. I would recommend buying it to try at least.   They’re on offer in Boots for £2.99 at the moment and usually retail for £3.99. Not a bad price at all. Lots of love, Victoria xox

Hey guys, Well today I want to talk about a new shade in what I think is my favourite Rimmel product ever. Whilst a tonne of people may be on the fence with some of Rimmel's products, they're pretty good at releasing so many items at once, that way you're bound to like something. I have a few of these lip lacquers now and I really do love them. I saw some new shades late last year and only got around to buying one now. I know a tonne of people don't like the huge wand because of the amount of product that comes out but I push it to the side as I'm taking it out so some product is left on the inside of the opening should you need it. A little tip for you there. As you can see this is a deep purple/wine shade with a hint of a red undertone to it. It looks so pretty on the lips and as you all know these babies last a long time. I am super duper happy with my new Apocalips purchase. They're on offer in Boots for £4.99 at the moment so go get them....

Well hey there, Today I want to talk you through a new wonder product for me. I have dark circles under my eyes and nothing works :( So I thought I would try this concealer duo before I tried an expensive brand. I saw this in Boots for £10 and thought why not!??! Haha. I was so excited at the dark circles claim haha. I'm only 30 but because I have late nights with my other love, wrestling, I have some trouble hiding my tired eyes. I have no clue as to why I have never bought this before. As well as the concealers you get a setting powder for them. I mean genius. It's all very cute and compact at the same time. The powder is very finely milled and not heavy at all. I have used the pinker side for my under eye region with the powder on top and definitely saw a difference. The more skin colour side is great for my neck as I have had a breakout there or on my redness on my cheek area. Just a smooth, light product. I didn't notice any caking under m...

Hey there, I wanted to start doing weekly catch ups as I think they're fun and I just want to do it. Above is my swatch video for the new Revlon Colorburst balms I bought two matte shades. They're super gorgeous. I also did The Perfect Nude Lip tag. It was started my Stephanie at SMLx0, all info is in the video. :D As far as blogging goes, I'm still blogging daily until the end of Jan as I created #JanBlog myself and it didn't really become successful but anyway who cares. I done a few reviews this week, another post on  the Versus series I love doing and a High St foundation post. All you need to do is click to the month of Jan and see all the posts :D This week I have a review of another Soap & Glory makeup product and it's a corker. I also am headed to Bristol on Tuesday night to attend a launch in Benefit. That's exciting. This is going to be a great week. I'm going to go for a nap now as I have WWE's Royal Rumble tonight and th...

Hey there, My hair is a tricky buggar to figure out. I can go days with it being shiny and soft and then out of nowhere it gets tangly and oily. I have long hair that is definitely past shoulder length so what did I do to change things? I dye my hair maybe once every 3 months but with my hair being a deep red now I do it maybe once every 2 months. I haven't pictured my shampoo and conditioner but I'm talking today about products after washing. I first off use the Tresemme Daily Lock In Spray as it helps against colour fading. Then I let that sit for a couple of minutes and put the L'oreal Hot Straight Spray in. I am paranoid about heat on my hair so this is a good step. I will then half dry my hair and if I want some texture I will use the L'oreal Salt Spray, it works a treat BUT my new thing is the L'oreal #TXT Wave Creating Spray. This stuff is great. You spray it over damp hair and put your hair in top knots and dry further.  Finish things off by taking ...
