My Summer Holiday Bucket List

As of Friday, I will have finished my forth year at secondary school (i’m going into year 11). However, I didn’t want my summer to be dull and boring like the usually are. I tend to spend my summer sleeping or lounging about in my pj’s. I wanted to do something meaningful so i’ve decided to write a bucket list. At the end of the summer, i will look back at this list and go through everything i did and didnt do and tell you about it. As you may know, I am going on holiday to Washington and New York in two weeks, so some things are linked to do with that.

Review- Stila Baked Cheek Duo

A couple of days ago i discovered a blush that i didn’t even realize i owned. It was the Stila Baked Cheek Duo in Pink Glow.

I purchased this around my birthday (In February) after i was given a boots gift voucher (my friends know me too well). It was originally £15 pounds but as i had a voucher for £5, it was only £10. I think i swatched it a few times but chickened out of trying it properly as i had red toned skin anyways- I’ve always been scared of blushes and bronzers!

I decided to try out this blush duo yesterday as i felt i wanted a change. I used my Real Techniques blush brush to do so, so i felt like i was applying it properly. I was really happy with the results. I wasn’t “too pink” as i had feared and like the name promises, i had a healthy pink glow on my cheeks. I really enjoyed this product and think i will be using it more often in the Future.

Review: Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer

As i am soon to be going abroad on holiday, i thought it was best i ventured out into the world of lasting lipsticks. When i first wandered into my local branch of Boots, I wasn’t exactly sure on what i was looking for. After picking up my usual powder, I noticed the stand of a new product. I had seen the advert on TV, so i decided I’d take the plunge.

 

I chose the colour ‘Celestial’ as i don’t own many pink lip products and thought it didn’t seem too daring. 

After first applying the product once i got home, i hated it. The texture, the look, the application. But after a few days i decided to try it again, this time with more precision and care. Yes, it still seemed gloopy and gunky on my lips, but perhaps that was because i’m not one to wear lip glosses and the overall texture of this product was much more gloss like than a lipstick (as i suppose it’s supposed to be).

Now, i really enjoy this product now that i understand fully how to use it; always blot after applying, never apply too much (as a little goes a long way!) and take time and care in applying it. The doe-foot applicator is also genius as i feel it is much easier to apply to product. I also happen to love the smell of this product. I would say it is almost like raspberries or another sweet berry. After trying this product out numerous times, i am actually going out to town on Friday to buy myself another one!
