Feel Unique Buys :)

Hey Guys,

A few months ago I was in a Boots store, I was browsing the Benefit counter (as you guys know, I loveee Benefit). The girl on the counter kindly asked if I'd like to try any of the products on, of course I jumped at the chance, she then ended up doing my whole make up for me. It was very interesting and I really loved the makeup she had put on for me. I got her to write down everything she had used so I could save up and buy them. Those of you that follow me on Twitter or Instagram (@theanongirl247) will know that I made a feelunique.com order a few days ago and today it arrived...:D I ordered these Benefit makeup products and a few other items whilst I was there haha;) I haven't tried any of these items yet so can't review any, although let me know if you would like me to! :)                                                                              

How to look the best at everything: Flawless Complexion kit

I loveee this SO much. This very cute little gift box contains miniatures of

  • The Pore Fessional primer
  • Hello Flawless brightening makeup and powder
  • Boi-ing 01 and 02
  • A benefit brush
I can't wait to try this as it contains almost everything that was used on me. I also got this because it was such a good price and it means that I can try everything before I decide to buy the larger sizes of them. This would also make such a lovely gift for someone who loves makeup :) Price - £25.50







Brow Zings Brow Shaping Kit


 

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer 


I never really use anything on my eyebrows, I just have them waxed on a regular basis. However, this made my eyebrows look so much better when I had it put on. I'm so excited to use it and see if I can make them look as good ;) Price - £24.50
 I have a real problem with dark circles around my eyes so am really willing to try everything and anything out there that will help to improve and conceal them. I have the Wake Me Up foundation and love it but its a shade too dark for me at the moment. I saw the concealer reviewed first by Zoella so decided to give it a try :) Price - £5.49 











Real Techniques Stippling Brush

I've been wanting to try a Real Techniques brush for soo long. I'm such a big fan of Pixiwoo on youtube and have seen many people with this brush so thought I would give it a try. At the moment I mainly just a foundation brush and a powder brush for day to day makeup but am really interested to see the effect this has. Price - £10.99
















Thanks for reading,
Bye for now!

Just a few things from my room that I love

Hey Guys!

For my second post I decided to show you guys a few simple things found in my room which I use all the time and loveeee. I thought that this would also help you guys get to know me a little bit better too. So without further a do, here goes! :)

Makeup

Here we have the Benefit Majorette booster blush. I got this almost a year ago and LOVVEE it :) You can use this under a blush or on its own. Personally I think it looks great on its own, I haven't ever tried it with a blush. Although, I have found that it works great with bronzer. It really creates great depth to the face and is such a pretty colour. I got this one from Sephora (I don't think we have this in the UK?) on a trip to America. However, it is available from good makeup stores here in the UK and it retails at £23.50.







Next, I have another few items from Benefit. Here we have the They're Real! Mascara and the They're Real! Push-up liner. I have been using the Mascara now for almost a year and it is by far my all time favourite mascara. Its so easy to apply and really does create length and volume. I also got this from Sephora and retails at £19.50.
I found the liner also to be great although it does take me a bit of time to apply it as I find the shape of the applicator a little tricky. However, once applied it really does look great and creates great winged eyeliner. If like me, you are a winged liner addict, (if you've read my first post you'll know I'm not a fan of other wings haha;)) then you are sure to love this! This retails at £18.50 and I got this one from a Benefit counter in Boots. I got it because I love the mascara soo much and thought I'd see what they are like together.                                  
Perfume                                                                         Here we have a few of my fave perfumes. I'm slightly obsessed with smelling good so have an ever changing collection of perfume. Although, here it really is just a few as there are others that I love but  I don't have any of them at the moment :(.
The first perfume is called Love ETC... Sun kiss from The Body Shop. I'm not sure this is still available? My local store haven't had any for ages and I can't see any on their website :( But it's still one of my fave's and I will treasure it untill I find some more ;) It smells so yummy and summery and I just love it.
Next is the Gilly Hicks perfume Girl from Hollister. I use this one daily, it smells so fresh and fruity and I'm often complimented when I wear it.
The Lacoste Touch of Pink perfume is one of my complete all time favourites. This is my 'signature' scent, it's so reasonably priced and is very widely available. I am also very often complimented when I wear this.
 
 Hair Care
And here Ladies and Gentlemen is just a few of the products I use on my hair. I am obsessed with keeping my hair silky smooth and healthy. I have naturally light brown hair but have recently had it Ombred (or as some know it, dip died) blonde, using bleach. So I've searched the market high and low for items which will prevent dry and split ends.
First, we have the Tigi S Factor Serious Conditioner. I got this after seeing many reviews about it online of people saying how great it is for hair just like mine. I only got it a few weeks ago and have used it 4 or 5 times and it is great! I've noticed such a difference in my hair and it is just how I like it, silky smooothh ;) It also smells AMAZING, like strawberrys and cream but with a hint of mint, which leaves my hair smelling so fresh and lovely. I tend to use it just a few times a week as I feel this is all my hair needs.
Next are two items from the John Freida: Frizz Ease collection. The first is the Miraculous recovery serum. I tend to use this if I've woken up one morning and feel my hair just looks dry and I need to quickly find something to make it look great for the day. This does just that :) Also, I have the Heat Defence spray. This works great with the serum and is a great protection for when I'm drying or styling my hair.
And finally, the final product... This is a must have for every girl. It's the Batiste Dry Shampoo:) I lovee this, I use it either to add texture to my hair if I'm styling it or on second day hair to make it feel fresh and clean.

So there we have it, just a few of my favourite things I found in my room. As always leave any feedback below, I'd love to hear from you. And thankyou so much for reading! (especially if you got this far!;)) Also if you have any suggestions on things you love that you think I might like to try, I' love to hear from you.

Bye for now!

Hey! ;)

Hey Guys!

Wow, my first actual blog post... I'd like to say thank you sooo much for visiting my blog today, it means so much to me.

So, let's get to know me first. I'm a 16 year old student from England. I'm currently studying for my AS levels, which I'm finding really quite challenging ;) If I'm not at college or at home revising, I will be at work in a local bookstore. I love all things makeup, fashion and beauty, like most girls. To tell you some more about myself I've answered some random questions below, Happy Reading! :)

What is your favorite food?
CHOCOLATE.. Okay that's probably not the best thing to love ;)

What is the most played song on your Ipod/Iphone?
 'Let it Go' from the Disney film Frozen. I am not ashamed to say that I love belting this out at home. I apologise to my family who have to listen to me.

Do you have any siblings?
I have one brother who is actually my twin:)

When you have 30 minutes of free time, how do you spend it?
I should probably say doing some sort of revision, but personally I prefer Netflix

Do you have any phobias?
Omg, I have a massive phobia of birds, moths. butterfly's and pretty much anything else that has wings. I'm not really too sure why but I just really hate the sound their wings make when they flap them, my friends all think it's totally hilarious.. which to be fair, it is ;)

What was the first thing you bought with your own money?
I bought a bucket, but not just any bucket.. it was a bucket with the ability to sit on a fence. Pretty cool eh?

Summer or winter?
Summer definitely...

Do you like your handwriting?
Yes if I'm not rushing, which I usually am and then my writing gets quite big and messy.

Favorite quote?
'The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday.'

What is the furthest you have been from home?
Australia

If you were a crayon, what colour would you be?
Pink, its such a lovely happy colour ;)

What do you want to be when you grow up?
I always struggle with this question.. I really don't know. But something which makes me happy:)

Do you have any pets?
I have an obese cat, shes soo cute and fluffy ;) Although I would love to get a puppy

What is one weird fact about you that most people don't know?
Uhh.. Cleaning my teeth makes me sneeze. Is that weird?

So there we go, some random things about me! I will try and keep this blog updated with posts about anything and everything. I'd love to hear your feedback in the comments :)

Bye for now!
