Shopping Haul♡


Hello lovelies! Today I have another haul for you as I went shopping with my friend Chloe at the weekend. I went a little bit crazy....hope you enjoy!♡

I'm going to start off with Boots as its one of my favourite shops for makeup♡

The first thing that I got very excited about was the Yes to Grapefruit cleansing wipes. When I was last in Sephora I purchased some of the Yes to cucumber cleansing wipes and I absolutely loved them but they were a bit too expensive! As I was walking through boots I saw a huge stand with them on for only £3.99 so I had to purchase some.

I always love to look at all the lovely benefit makeup and I came across this sweet smelling perfume. This is the Gina perfume and it smells very sweet and girly♡ They have so many gorgeous scents to choose from but this one I had to buy! (£29.50)

Then I picked up this beautiful Rimmel Apocalips lip laquer in Aurora. I am absoutely obsessed with these and how pigmented they are. It's a really pretty raspberry pink colour and as I said it looks so pigmented on the lips. Highly reccomend these if your starting in makeup. (£7.99)

Lastly from Boots I picked up the Soap&Glory Scrub your nose in it facial scrub. When you apply this to your skin it feels really cool and refreshing. It also has a really fresh scent to it as well. I really like this scrub so far and I've seen a big difference in my skin recently. (£9.00)

I then went for a quick look in Debenhams. I went over to the Urban Decay stand and looked at all the lovely makeup. I then noticed that they had a sale bucket with a lot of gorgeous makeup in! I came across this 24/7 Glide on shadow pencil which I absoutely love. This was the only nice colour as the other colours were just purples and pinks! It's a gorgeous coppery,brown colour with golden shimmer in it and I thought this would look so lovely with a dark lip. (£9.48)

M.A.C!!!
If you didn't know M.A.C is one of my favourite makeup brands so I obviously had to look in. There was so many things that I wanted but I narrowed it down to two things which are both absoutely gorgeous.

Firstly I got this M.A.C Mineralize blush in Gentle which is just stunning. It's a really nice dark pink with a silver shimmer through it. I haven't tried this out yet but I can just tell it's going to be gorgeous. When I tested it on my hand I couldn't believe how pigmented it was so I'm super excited about this. (£20.00)

I then got the much so raved about M.A.C's Creme Cup lipstick which I must admit is possibly the most perfect nude I've ever seen. I have more Red/Pink lipsticks in my makeup collection but I don't have a lot of nude lipsticks so I thought it was good to have a change. So happy about this!♡ (£15.00)

After M.A.C I went into Topshop which is one of my favourite clothes shops and I picked up two lovely tops.♡

I saw the cutest top when I was in there so I picked it up as I thought it would be perfect for Summer. It's a little bit cropped but not too much that you can see all your tummy. I absoutely love the floral detailing on the arms and across the front which I think makes it look even more cuter. 

The 2nd thing that I got was this pastel mint slouchy sweatshirt. I'm pretty obsessed with comfy/slouchy sweatshirts  and I had to get this one as I loved the colour of it. I have the same style jumper but in the bubblegum pink colour as well so I'm growing a collection of these jumpers!

And that's it! That is everything that I got when I went shopping! Literally feels like I've been typing forever omg.
If you have any ideas on what I should do  next just comment below. I was thinking maybe Whats on my iphone? 

Love
Anna

Beauty and Clothes Haul♡

Hello lovelies! Today I have a haul for you as I went shopping in Harrogate. I got a few bits and bobs so I thought that I would share them with you today. Enjoy!♡
I didn't go to all the shops I wanted to go to because we didn't have all day there but I managed to pick up some lovely things.♡ 
I first popped into H&M as I haven't been in there for ages. All I really wanted in H&M was a plain basic skater dress that I can dress up and down. This basic navy skater dress was only £12.99 which is a total bargain!♡
Then I dashed into The Body Shop! I've heard so many good things about these lip butters so I thought I would try one of these out. There was so many gorgeous flavours to choose from but I finally decided to go for the mango one as it smelt absolutely delicious! (£4.00)♡
Obviously I stopped off at Boots....oops.
Here is an overview of all the things that I purchased from Boots.♡
I'm going to start off by talking you through the body/hair care products. The first thing that I purchased was the Soap&Glory Orangeasm body wash and oh my goodness it's AMAZING. I believe this is a new body wash from Soap&Glory and I highly reccomend to go and check this out.(£6.50)On the right we have the L'orèal Studioline Hot&Smooth straightening cream. As I was looking through all the L'orèal hair products I came across this cream and I thought that I would give it a try. This straightening cream controls frizz and protects your hair from the heat which are two very important things.(£3.75)♡
Then I went over to the Benefit counter and picked up the Watts up highlighter. When I was in Portugal I came across this highlighter in Sephora but didn't purchase it as it was a lot more expensive than in England. All you do is apply this on the high points of you cheeks and it makes your skin looks so luminous and flawless.
This was around £24.50 which I don't think is too bad for a high end highlighter.♡ 
Then I went over to the drugstore part of boots and picked up a few bits and bobs. The first thing I dropped in my basket was another collection lasting perfection concealer because I run out of these so quickly! This concealer will literally cover anything discolouration,blemishes,under eye circles absolutely anything!(£4.19)♡

Then I picked up the Revlon Photoready BB cream as I've heard so many good things about this. I tested this on my hand in Boots and it was really lovely and moisturing. It also gave lovely coverage and wasn't heavy on my skin at all.(£9.99) As I was watching EssieButton's video on youtube she talked about this gorgeous mint nail polish from Essie called Mint Candy Apple so obviously I popped this in my basket. This is just the most perfect mint colour I've ever seen and it will look gorgeous in the Summer with a tan.(£7.99)♡
LUSH!!! As I walked into Lush I realised that there were some new bath bombs on the shelf so obviously I got a few. The one in the back is May Day which looks like a badger aw. This smells really sweet and fruity. I can't wait to try this one!(£2.95) The bath bomb next to May Day is called Sakura which sounds amazing! Sakura has green and pink gems in it which excites me a lot.(£3.25) Ok so the one at the front looks absolutely AMAZING. This bath bomb is called Granny Takes a dip which is the funniest name ever! This smells so much like ginger ale as well!(£3.25)♡

I hope you have enjoyed reading this blogpost on what I purchased when I did a bit of shopping....

First Impression/Review- Tanya Burr Lips and Nails♡

Hello lovelies! Sorry I haven't posted in a while but I've been away and I've had so much things on lately. I took a little trip into Superdrug today and I came across the Tanya Burr stand! I've got to admit I did go a little crazy. After purchasing these items I thought why not review them? So that's what I will be doing for you today hope you enjoy!♡


Here is an over view of what I purchased from "Tanya Burr♡". I really love the packaging of these makeup products as they don't feel tacky and actually look quite luxurious. I couldn't believe how many shades and colours there were too choose from in Superdrug.♡

I'm firstly going to go over the Nail Polishes that I purchased. Firstly I got "Little Duck" which is the cutest name and colour ever! It's a really gorgeous blue/mint colour which is one of my favourite colours for Spring and Summer so I had to purchase this one.♡


My camera doesn't do the colour justice but it's more minty green in person not blue. It also goes really glossy when it dries and gives a lovely shine to your nails.This colour is perfect for Summer as it goes lovely with a tan.♡

Then we come on to "Peaches & Cream". Ignore how messy the nail polish looks! I had to apply it really quickly. This colour is simple but beautiful! I would say its a mixture between a pinky/nude and a peachy colour. I think this is perfect if your wanting something less vibrant but just a light colour to your nails. The nail polishes are £5.99 each which in my opinion are slightly pricey for drugstore but are worth it in the end!


Now on to the Lipglosses!! I was super excited to purchase one of these lipglosses as they looked so pretty in her youtube videos. So I got three... Naughty Anna! I purchased the colours Just Peachy, Afternoon Tea and Picnic in the Park which again are the cutest names ever.

"Just peachy" is possibly the most gorgeous peach lipgloss I own. This is more pink to be honest but has a lovely peachy hint to it. I really love how smoothly these lipglosses apply and how moisturing they feel on your lips♡

Then we have "Afternoon Tea" which I think is a more darkened version of "Just Peachy". It's a lovely baby pink colour with the tinyest bit of shimmer to it. Also all of these lipglosses are super duper pigmented! I actually thought these would be quite sheer but I was wrong!♡

Last but not least we have "Picnic in the Park" which I think could be my favourite out of them all. This colour is a raspberry pink colour and looks so pigmented on the lips. These lipglosses give a lovely glossy finish to them which I think looks very pretty! The lipglosses are £7.99 each which again are a little pricey but all worth it in the end.

I hope you have enjoyed this little review on the new Tanya Burr Lipglosses and Nail polishes. If you have any ideas on what blogpost I should do next you know what to do! Just message me on kik anna.camillaxx and I will always reply! Or dm me on Instagram @annacamillax and I'm always happy to reply.♡

Q&A♡

Hello my lovelies welcome back to my blog. I asked on Instagram for some questions for my Q&A and I got a lot of questions... I thought it was time for me to do another Q&A as I haven't done one in ages! So let's get started♡

1. @mildredinstagram
Question♡ - Favourite Makeup Item?
Answer♡ - This question is super hard but at the moment I've been loving my Naked 3 palette. I get so much wear out of this palette and I can create so many different makeup looks. 

2. @emilykehoe_ 
Question♡ - Would you ever make a youtube? And do beauty/fashion videos?
Answer♡ - I really really want to make a youtube account and start making videos but I personally don't think I'm ready to do that yet. I think when I'm older I will definately start making youtube videos as I will have more time.  

3. @clionacollins
Question♡ - What do you want to be when your older?
Answer♡ - I would love to work in the Fashion or Beauty Industry as I'm a huge fan of makeup and fashion. Maybe a Fashion designer as I love to create different looks and try out different styles. 

4. @caitlinransom
Question♡ - What one makeup item could you not live without?
Answer♡ - This one is so difficult but if I could only choose one makeup item it would have to be a foundation e.g Revlon Nearly Naked, YSL Touche Èclat, Benefit Hello flawless. I have so many favourites but I couldn't live without foundation because it covers over blemishes,discolouration and spots and makes your skin look flawless. 

5. @alohaems
Question♡ - Coffee or Hot Chocolate?
Answer♡ - Hot Chocolate by far! I do like coffee but I think it's too strong for me! Whipped cream and Marshmallows on the top also make Hot Chocolate DELICIOUS!

6. @alohaems
Question♡ - Favourite Ice Cream Flavour?
Answer♡ - Mint Chocolate Chip! ALL TIME FAVOURITE!

7. @idk_isabel 
Question♡ - Favourite Fragrance?
Answer♡ - My favourite fragrance at the moment would be Jo Malone's Earl Grey and Cucumber Cologne. Omg this is beautiful. It might sound like an odd combination but if you smell it you will fall in love with it!

8. @idk_isabel
Question♡ - Favourite Yankee Candle?
Answer♡ - I own a lot of Yankee Candles but the one I'm obsessing over is Fireside Treats. This smells like Marshmallows and sweets yummy!

9. @frankie_robertson
Question♡ - Would you rather live without an eyeliner or a lipstick? 
Answer♡ - I'm not the biggest fan of eyeliner so I would live without an eyeliner. Lipstick is so much better as it gives colour to your whole makeup look. 

10. @judesowter
Question♡- Favourite Clothes Shop?
Answer♡- I have quite a few favourites but if I had to choose one it would be Zara. You can find some beautiful clothes in there. They have a lot of quirky and unique clothes in Zara which I love. Most of my wardrobe is Zara to be honest....


11. @floralminion_
Question♡- Hair Down or Up?
Answer♡- This is another difficult question.... It really depends! I wear my hair down a lot and I love to experiment different hairstyles e.g Curls, Braids,Waves. I also like to wear Messy Buns, Ponytails, Fishtails and French Braids. But I mostly wear my hair down.

12. @alohaitsizzyyy 
Question♡- Favourite thing about Paris?
Answer♡- Everything! The shops are just to die for and all the places you can visit are amazing. I just got back from Paris yesterday as I went on a Netball Tour with my school and it was amazing! It was my first time to go to Disneyland as well and it was just unreal. I really want to go back now.

13. @marlaelizabethx
Question♡- Best high end foundation you own?
Answer♡- Chanel Vitalumière Aqua Foundation. It covers up my discolouration and blemishes, makes my skin look a lot more healthier and has amazing coverage.


I hope you enjoyed this little blogpost! Sorry if I didn't answer your question but I had so many questions and I couldn't  answer them all!

Drugstore Starter Kit♡

Hello lovelies! I thought that I would go through some drugstore beauty products for the people who are entering the beauty world or just trying makeup for the first time.♡

I have quite a bit to show you so let's go ahead and get started!♡


1. Primer♡:

A primer isn't too necessary if you have dry skin but if you have oily skin this would help minimize pores and shininess throughout the day. I have been loving this primer recently but the Porefessional by Benefit is still by far my favourite! This one is Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser by Maybelline and it's £7.99 from Boots.


2. Foundation♡:

Then you come on to foundation. If you already have flawless looking skin you don't really need this but if you feel like you don't these are the ones I would reccomend to you. I personally don't think I need high coverage foundations so these two are both medium coverage foundations. 

The one on the left is the Lorèal True Match foundation which is one of my favourite drugstore ones. This foundation is super blendable and feels really lightweight on your skin. I would say this foundation is Medium/High Coverage as you can build it up.
Then on the left we have the Revlon Nearly Naked foundation which is a new discovery of mine. On the skin it looks so natural and doesn't even look like you are wearing foundation unless you build it up. I'm pretty obsessed with both of these at the moment and I highly reccomend them both if you are starting off in makeup! 


3. Concealer♡:

I have two concealers to go through with you as I couldn't choose between them both. On the left we have the Revlon Colourstay Concealer which is my new favourite! This covers my dark circles and blemishes amazingly. On the Right we have the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer which I've had in my makeup collection for the longest time. This covers anything seriously! Blemishes,Spots,dark circles, discolouration you name it!


4. Powder♡:

The Rimmel Stay Matte Powder is a miracle worker! If you are prone to oily skin this will be your best friend. This powder stays on for the longest time and doesn't leave you looking caked up. I have the shade Warm beige and it matches my skin tone perfectly. I highly reccomend this powder because it's affordable and as I said a miracle worker!


5. Blush♡:

I'm afraid I don't own any drugstore blushes except from the Sleek ones which I don't like that much so this one will have to do! This is Sephoras own blush and it's so beautiful. It's a gorgeous peachy pink colour with subtle shimmer through it. Just apply this to the apples of your cheeks and it makes you look so healthy and gorgeous.

6. Brows♡ (if needed)

This is obviously optional but this brow gel is amazing! I personally don't need think I need it as my eyebrows are super thick, but it just adds a bit of defention and tidies them up.


7. Mascara♡:

Maybelline the Falsies I love you. This mascara is just amazing and you all need to get it. It makes your lashes look so bold and lengthens them amazingly. The bristles on the wand are very thin which help separate your eyelashes. A lot of people talk and rave about this mascara and I know why they do because it's the best drugstore mascara!


8. Eyes♡:

I have these gorgeous Maybelline Colour tattoos and they are all beautiful. I have five of these but I thought the other two were a bit more vibrant for someone who was starting in makeup. These are my favourites though as they are all so pretty and look so lovely on the eyes.
Left to Right:
♡ Metallic Pomegranate 
♡ Pink Gold
♡ On and On Bronze


9. Lips♡:

It was pretty hard to just choose a couple of lipsticks/lipglosses for this but I've narrowed it down to three. These are the Revlon Colourstay Ultimate Suede Lipsticks. I don't know why I didn't know about these ages ago as they are amazing! The shades that I have are:
Left to Right:
♡ Couture which is a lovely ruby red colour with a tiny shimmer through it.
♡ Socialite which is a pinky/nude my favourite!
♡ Womanswear which is a perfect barbie pink colour with shimmer.

10. Lipgloss♡:

I was just going to put the lipsticks but I thought if you wanted something a bit more subtle these would be perfect. These are the Revlon Super Lustrious Lipglosses. I love the packaging on these as well as they look quite high end. They feel so smooth on the lips and not even sticky! 
Left to right:
♡ Kiss me coral
♡ Fatal Apple

Then I obviously have my Real Techniques brushes from Boots to apply most of these makeup products with. Sorry I couldn't manage to get a photo of the brushes. Anyway I hope you have enjoyed this blogpost today!

Love

Review- Revlon Lip Butters♡

Hello my lovelies! Today I thought I would do a little review on the gorgeous Revlon lip butters. I'm pretty obsessed with these as you can tell by the photo below! All of the Revlon lip butters are super moisturing and give beautiful colour to your lips.♡

Here is an overview of all of my Revlon lip butters! I will go through each one individually but I will first go through all the shades:
Left to Right:
♡ Strawberry Shortcake
♡ Sweet Tart
♡ Berry Smoothie
♡ Juicy Papaya 
♡ Macaroon 
♡ Berry Smoothie
♡ Sorbet
♡ Peach Parfait 

The first one I have is 'Strawberry Shortcake' this is a perfect pink colour and is a lovely colour for the Spring/Summer time. I think this colour is wearable all year round and goes with both pale and tan skin.
The next one is 'Sweet Tart'. This is probably my favourite pink out of them all as it's a gorgeous raspberry pink. If I don't know what to wear on my lips one day this colour is the one I tend to grab for the most.♡
I've got two of 'Berry Smoothie' as this is such a beautiful colour. I used to be obsessed with this colour especially in the winter but I have recently gone for my  red lips in the Winter. This lip butter has a tiny bit of shimmer to it so it gives a lovely  sheen to your lips.
I bought 'Juicy Papaya' in the Summer time and I literally wore this colour non stop! It's a pretty peachy/orange colour but not too orange! This colour goes gorgeous with a tan as well. ♡
The next colour is 'Macaroon' which I regret buying. I don't think I suit this colour personally! I think this colour is more to the brown side which I don't like! But if you are looking for a browny/red colour this is perfect for you! ♡

This is another colour I got in the Summer and it's 'Sorbet'. This is a lovely hot pink and will also go with a tan in Summer. I highly reccomend this colour to all as it will go with either pale or tan skin.♡

Lastly I have 'Peach Parfait' which is my second favourite after 'Sweet Tart'. It is a lovely pinky/peachy colour with little shimmers of gold through it. This lip butter will go perfectly with a natural makeup look as it's more sheer than the other lip butters.
All Revlon Lip butters are £7.99 each♡

I hope you have enjoyed this little review on the Revlon lip butters! Sorry it was only quick as I am spending Mothers Day at my Grandmas!
Will possibly have my Room Tour(in pictures) up next so keep your eyes out for that♡

Love
Anna
