Mini Makeup and Skincare Haul...

Hi There!



So I recently went on a mini shopping spree and I brought myself a couple of things. I didn't really have the aim of buying many things, but then once I got there, impulse takes over and I just couldn't help it. So here's a couple of things that I got. 

Good Things Miracle Mattifier Moisturiser
This stuff smells amazing. It's Blackcurrant and Goji Berry scented so it smells nice and fruity. I have particularly oily and blemish prone skin, so I wanted to try a moisturiser that would mattify my skin, without completely drying it out, and would try and calm my spots and redness. I'll give it a couple of weeks and see how this goes, if not it's back to the drawing board. 

Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Overnight Purifying Gel
Similar to the moisturiser I got, I wanted a night treatment that would deal with my blemishes. I had actually planned to go and buy this as I had read some positive reviews on it. Even after a couple of days I have been able to see an improvement when I wake up in the mornings, and I 100% believe it has to do with this gel. 

NYX Lip Lingerie Lipstick in Shades 07 Satin Ribbon and 09 Corset
Unless you have been living in a whole, you will see that a lot of the Blogosphere has been posting about these lipsticks. I thought I'd see what the hype was all about, and I love them! They are nice matte, neutral shades, that I can easily wear casually of a daytime, or of an evening where I am going all onut fancy. 

Laura Mercier Face Illuminator in Shade Devotion
Oh My God this highlight looks incredible! I swatched it in John Lewis to test it out while my Mum was looking at foundations, and I knew straight away I'd have to sweet talk her into buying it for me. After a while of persuading it worked, and now I am in love. It is so glittery and shiney and highlightery, there are just not enough words!

Who Am I Watching On YouTube???

Hi There!



Like many people out there, I am addicted to YouTube. I am intrigued to see how people live their lives, and if I'm honest it is also quite good company. If I'm lying in bed trying to sleep, or if  I'm just pottering round the house, I will often have a YouTube video on as it feels like I am with company. Here's who I am currently addicted to at the moment, and have been for a little while:

JackSepticEye
Jack (Sean) is a loud gamer from Ireland who I have been addicted to now for many years. Without fail his videos make me laugh because he seems like such a genuine guy! He cares for his viewers and knows exactly what they want to see, so he makes sure he produces every day, twice a day. He is a shouter that's for sure, which is only a bad thing when you have headphones on. I would definitely recommend watching him if you want a laugh, even if you don't really like gaming videos. (His skate 3 videos may be old, but they are what got me addicted!)

KianandJC
This videos are hilarious! Back in the O2L days I would always be most excited to see Kian's and JC's videos, and now that they have a channel together makes life so much better. You can see how close they are as friends and the banter they have together if too funny. (Super Glue Gloves is my one to watch here!)

Lauren Curtis
Who would I be if I didn't have a favourite makeup vlogger. Lauren has so many different makeup looks there is one that has to suit you. They range from strong dark makeup looks, to everyday looks, so there is one for everyone. She makes them as look effortless and they are really simple to follow. Even if you don't want to try the look, there are some useful tips in her videos as well. (I love, love, LOVE the Second Date Makeup Tutorial look!)

Janoskians
These boys were the first people I became addicted to on YouTube! I used to have posters of them all over my wall, I went to their first show at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, I have their merchandise. I was addicted. It's safe to say that addiction has gone down, but only slightly. If I see they have uploaded a new video I will watch it straight away, but not only on this channel, also on their DareSundays and JanoskiansBlog channels. These videos may make you slightly cringe, but a couple of years ago they gave me the confidence to put myself out there and not care what anyone thinks, so I will always be greatful for that. (The Invisible Rope is a good place to start, but their Public Disturbance videos are fun as well!)

Zoella
Where would we be without Zoella in our lives? It seems like everyone knows her now, and it seems as though she is a friend to everyone. She is so real in her videos. In her vlogs she is able to open up and tell us exactly how she really feels, and make us all really jealous at the same time for the life she has. I mean, she gets to live with Alfie Deyes, it doesn't get much better than that! She has such a wide variety of videos it's hard to put her into a category, so I'm giving her her own Zoella category. If you aren't watching her videos or don't know who she is, what are you even watching on YouTube?! (Best Friend vs Boyfriend is a funny one!)

These are obviously not all the YouTubers that I watched. I am currently subscribed to 105 channels, so there are many other channels I love to watch, such as Joe Sugg and Shane Dawson, but these 5 are the ones I'm currently addicted to. It will be nice to come back to this list in a little while and see if this has changed or if it stays the same. 

Who are you currently addicted to on the internet?
