<br />
The other day I felt like doing something different so I filmed another video for you all after some requests (I'm talking to you Yana!) Hopefully you will enjoy this as it is a little unusual for Ellie Loves. I went shopping and filmed myself using some of the bits that I purchased as part of a Haul/ Get ready with me video. If you would like a more in depth review on any of these products please comment down below, also comment saying your favourite foundation because as you may or may not be able to tell, I'm having a bit of a foundation-crazy moment! Lots of Love xo<br />

It's been a little while but I am back and better than ever (Those sausage raps aren't the only thing you're gonna see twice - name that reference lol)<br />
In the past few months I have been using some new products and I thought I would run you through what I have been loving recently.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u><br /></u>
<u>All about that base</u> (sorry)<br />
I have spoken about the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Bourjois-Healthy-Mix-foundation_1313681/">Bourjois healthy mix serum</a> before on my blog, It is my favourite foundation i have ever tried. It is long lasting, smells gorgeous, applies evenly due to the moisturising formula and leaves a medium coverage, dewy finish. Before prom I went on the hunt for a good primer because Benefit's Porefessional just wasn't cutting it for my dry skin. I found the B<a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Bourjois-Paris-Happy-Light-Luminous-Serum-Primer_1388141/">ourjois Happy light luminous serum primer</a>. These two products make the perfect duo for my dry/normal skin and my base is looking good all day long thanks to them. To keep any possible shine in my Tzone at bay I use the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Bourjois-Healthy-Balance-Compact-Powder_1244985/">Bourjois healthy balance powder.</a> This is very mattifying so if that's your preference I would definitely recommend this. However I do prefer a slightly lighter finish so I use my tapered stippling brush to apply this.<br />
<br />
<u>Cheeks:</u><br />
In June i picked up the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Collection-Bronze-Glow-Mosaic-Powder_1450669/">Collection Bronze glow mosaic powder</a> for free as part of a deal in boots, I haven't put it down since. I apply this with my tapered stipple brush too, lightly brushing it over my cheek bones. In the summer months I tend to steer clear of blusher and more towards bronzer and my cheeks can tend to be the colour of tomatoes in the heat anyway (lol). This step replaces highlighter too because of the shimmer in the bronzer. I dropped this bronzer while I was away but I did manage to catch it, meanwhile scraping out a lot of product with my fingernails. eugh #beautybloggerproblems<br />
<br />
<u>Eyes:</u><br />
I'm still bloody loving my <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_123932979199_-1">Naked 1 palette </a>by the way, the £38 investment was not a mistake. The colours are so long lasting and buttery to apply. My favourite shades of the moment are Toasted, Sidecar and Sin.<br />
<br />
<u>Body:</u><br />
After coming back from spain a few weeks ago, I've been regularly using the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Dove-Summer-Glow-Medium-to-Dark-Skin-250ml_1329537/">Dove Summer Glow nourishing lotion</a> to keep my tan on fleek.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for reading and sticking with me!<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA2wiXcD6ZMxafnr3kmtw1KyH19bL0ZanZ8qYxDEJ5xY4KWeebiqjJ1Z7OcxLTkHVpaHMgeKNWf3jM24PN__QZ9EoV39Tc_rXlrpD4TcPH8_CiwwSFqHmyT_zbimsu5rsAo2IqMj4XcorX/s1600/yana.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA2wiXcD6ZMxafnr3kmtw1KyH19bL0ZanZ8qYxDEJ5xY4KWeebiqjJ1Z7OcxLTkHVpaHMgeKNWf3jM24PN__QZ9EoV39Tc_rXlrpD4TcPH8_CiwwSFqHmyT_zbimsu5rsAo2IqMj4XcorX/s640/yana.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span lang="UK">In general my perfume collection consists of
strong scents which I can't describe with one word as flowery, citrus, fruity,
spicy and so on. T</span>he<span lang="UK"> stronger the better. Do you know what I mean? Like, those girls whose
perfume you can still smell even when she is not somewhere around. No one
complained, though. Except my mum.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="UK">However, this summer I had some kind of
'click' in my head that made me put my favourite perfume bottles away and try
out another ones. I was looking for something new and fresh. But every time I
walked into the store, my subconscious led me to those dark scents that I had
literally to slap me in the face to stop looking at them. So, I decided to ask
a real expert aka my mum to help me. She is really into luscious and soft
fragrances that I think I somehow need to steal her taste, because I partially
agree my preferences are a bit too heavy for </span>a <span lang="UK">sixteen year old girl.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="UK">The first shop we visited was Yves Rocher.
They have a wide range of some good scents. I remember going through stage when
their Vanille Noire Eau de Parfum was my huge obsession, but I gave up because
it was so sweet, even for me. This time I grabbed Fraîcheur Végétale eau de
cologne de Verveine. It was released quite a long time ago, crisp and light
unisex fragrance. I am in love with it</span>’<span lang="UK">s lemony-green notes. I am slightly a lemon maniac
as well, so it is perfection for me! But there is </span>one <span lang="UK">disappointing feature.
I wish it had better lasting power. Therefore I need</span>ed<span lang="UK"> another perfume that
would build up and compliment this scent more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="UK">I have to admit here comes my favourite part,
it is Versace Versense. If you asked me to explained it by using Internet
slang, I would go with asdfghjkl, too many feels. It belongs to perfumes that
have personality of its own. Get what I mean? It is unique, sophisticated,
intoxicating, sharp and smooth at the same time. I promise you, you will feel
special whilst wearing it! I would say it smells like different citruses
combined with figs and, what is more important, with lots of energy and
vitality. Basically, for me it smells like summer, sunshine, adventures and
holidays.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="UK">By mixing both perfumes, Fraîcheur Végétale de
Verveine and Versense, I created my own summer scent. If I feel very sad and
unmotivated, for example, in winter, I would spray them all over myself and
relive my summer memories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Seeing as it's summer I thought I'd share with you some summer beauty essentials to help you all look and feel amazing.</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><img alt="Displaying all.jpg" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/2/?ui=2&ik=586222a646&view=fimg&th=14e26d5645a531d5&attid=0.1&disp=inline&realattid=f_ibb3hif30&safe=1&attbid=ANGjdJ-8xbcXr0EUDFwGG1JGZhYUl5LQn2B2Db-mJq27PrwZQsI_K-gKu-41NSrjAjQyqcs2_ffm6x2mumTgoEanSiQkLbje7ZndPzq4kVNEJvY-Jui69LvLqdBNPTE&ats=1435186045974&rm=14e26d5645a531d5&zw&sz=w1345-h558" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">The sunshine is here (or at least occasionally here in the UK) and it's time for a whole new wardrobe and of course some much needed summer beauty essentials. Here are my top picks which will help you all make the most of summer.</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">1) Waterproof Mascara</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">You know the drill, whether you fancy a quick dip in the pool or a spontaneous rain shower, the last thing you want is trails of black mascara running down your cheeks. Thankfully I have a great recommendation and I've been loving the </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Maybelline Rocket Volum' Waterproof Mascara </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">this has a plastic brush that really grips the lashes and adds length and volume and it doesn't flake or smudge, even better is that it's easy to remove with a makeup remover and lasts all day!</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><img alt="Displaying mascara.jpg" height="400" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/2/?ui=2&ik=586222a646&view=fimg&th=14e26d5645a531d5&attid=0.7&disp=inline&realattid=f_ibb3hijs6&safe=1&attbid=ANGjdJ_PPqcqSAQEagmjdf6MJT4icWJutdYWaXKUSEAek3tS-Y2HXxhUt4QczlgaYDg-ACTKINLZKPI712OGoa6AAJj31AHrmPuc3ctoPiPrVHXUumtxSrQiPJtTJ9U&ats=1435186045975&rm=14e26d5645a531d5&zw&sz=w1345-h558" style="font-size: 12pt;" width="298" /></span></div>
<br />
<span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">2) Gel Liner</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">I've tried liquids, gels, felt tips and kohls, but when I want a feline flick the rest simply don't cut it. I recently purchased the </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Liner </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">and it's easy to use and looks absolutely phenomenal. What I really love is that it just so happens to be a dupe for the Bobbi Brown counterpart, so it's an investment really. That money you just saved can buy you a cocktail or another ice cream.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Displaying gel liner.jpg" height="400" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/2/?ui=2&ik=586222a646&view=fimg&th=14e26d5645a531d5&attid=0.5&disp=inline&realattid=f_ibb3hija4&safe=1&attbid=ANGjdJ_jS6cVWbDWZXvGY9kftfy04EKcjXh8fW8jeUMTAZroUx5YkGcJ_j5CEqo5iNjDH5S2hWmfWH2hqf9Be4l1wIjdxG2XIsUInGmU26sbn6R1NYCtE6PSpAjeo1w&ats=1435186045975&rm=14e26d5645a531d5&zw&sz=w1345-h558" style="font-size: 12pt;" width="299" /></div>
<span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">3) A Blue Liner</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">For all those Urban Decay Naked Lovers who hate colour, this trend is actually really striking. I've seen the likes of </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Lily Pebbles </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">rocking this and it really does add a pop of colour (sorry for the cliche). I love the </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">GOSH Velvet Touch Eyeliner in Sky Blue </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">it looks great on the waterline and it's creamy and inexpensive. </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><img alt="Displaying blue liner.jpg" height="300" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/2/?ui=2&ik=586222a646&view=fimg&th=14e26d5645a531d5&attid=0.2&disp=inline&realattid=f_ibb3hiif1&safe=1&attbid=ANGjdJ-rBBQ4UO2iUErEVhYP5Xlrbyi7XO4DOs1rgz2CMLkq0VwbFgFPQgy5umE0a66i2Q0FGsXpNuEBeUyx9VMdT6jf7WLKQyZiJ6hs50TlWY91kN8oksqIlxEWSUM&ats=1435186045974&rm=14e26d5645a531d5&zw&sz=w1345-h558" style="font-size: 12pt;" width="400" /></span></div>
<span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">4) Tinted Moisturiser</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">If like me, you are phobic of anything less than a medium coverage then fear not because this tinted moisturiser is pretty special. I absolutely hated the infamous Nars Tinted Moisturiser finding it greasy and orangey but the</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;"> ESPA Naturally Radiant Tinted Moisturiser</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"> is something else, it moisturises and adds coverage and that highly sought after dewy glow. All you need with this is a nice concealer and your base is sorted.</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><img alt="Displaying tinted moisturiser.jpg" height="400" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/2/?ui=2&ik=586222a646&view=fimg&th=14e26d5645a531d5&attid=0.10&disp=inline&realattid=f_ibb3hikq9&safe=1&attbid=ANGjdJ8W4M_O8vPMtVMSr7xjgVYwu5j-VHYoyC_OaOfB2fwEO6-kjjVcOy-R1ZcgByLj3di9Qo9OddU72TWi6GQnw89mcPZXAEd9Q2o-KeErG406GpIwblUYMUln56Q&ats=1435186045976&rm=14e26d5645a531d5&zw&sz=w1345-h558" style="font-size: 12pt;" width="299" /></span></div>
<span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">5) Bronzer</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">We all know how important a bronzer is but it can be really difficult to find one, especially if you're super pale and can't afford things such as </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Nars Laguna </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">or </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Benefit Hoola. </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">Thankfully I have the perfect recommendation and it's the </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">W7 Honolulu Bronzer</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">. This is a dupe for </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Hoola </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">and it's seriously great. It's very pigmented so a little goes a long way and it comes with a really soft angled kabuki brush which makes contouring a doddle. If you need a bronzer check this out it's a few pounds at the most.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Displaying bronzer.jpg" height="400" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/2/?ui=2&ik=586222a646&view=fimg&th=14e26d5645a531d5&attid=0.4&disp=inline&realattid=f_ibb3hij13&safe=1&attbid=ANGjdJ8EORNtL03grA2BR6cktwij7fwe2mnZGMg4uBiQwiVgrh3CJs2Vuh4W5LJg3n35zU0IEMtH_eLJSUu5iOhTOEX7lim9b6RGQ1Twacf3YvKnw0McWkA502JhDIs&ats=1435186045975&rm=14e26d5645a531d5&zw&sz=w1345-h558" style="font-size: 12pt;" width="299" /></div>
<span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">6) Blusher</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">I love blusher and surprisingly I can work with cream or powders and shimmer or matte finishes. In all honesty I'm a blush fiend. One that I really like is the </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Sleek Blush in Rose Gold </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">it's a coral blusher with golden shimmer running through it and it's breathtaking. It also just so happens to be a dupe for </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Nars Orgasm </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">and I have both so I can confirm that this is true. This seriously lasts for ages, I've had mine for a year and there's not even a dent in it yet.</span><br />

People remember lip balm in winter but seem to forget in summer and the sun can do serious damage. I love lip balms and could easily list ten different ones but at the moment I'm using </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Blistex Orange Mango Blast Lip Balm </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">and it was a pound for Poundland. It tastes nice, hydrates the lips and is cheaper than chips so you really have no excuse not to buy it.</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span><br />

If you want a pretty polish that will last for days without chipping and has a glossy finish then look further than the </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in Blueberry </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">this is absolutely gorgeous and is my all time favourite polish.</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">9) Toner</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">Of all of the skincare items you're probably wondering why I chose toner but when it's warm your pores open up allowing bacteria and all sorts of nasties into the skin and noone wants a yellowhead when you're going out. The toner I cannot get enough of right now is the </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Lush Breath of Fresh Air Toner Water </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">this smells like the seaside (in a good way) really fresh and it's a cooling mist which is lovely for sensitive and dehydrated skin. This tightens the pores and it's fairly priced at between £5.00 and £7.00 for a bottle that will last you for ages. </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">10) Texturising Spray</span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br class="zw-br" /></span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">Whether you're rocking beachy waves or sleek and straight hair, a little texture will never look out of place and will help you get those locks that you've dreamed of. My favourite has to be the </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold;">Charles Worthington Volume and Bounce Texturising Spray </span><span class="zw-portion" style="font-size: 12pt;">which smells lovely, lasts for ages and makes your hair double in size. This is a cult product and for good reason, it really is as good as everyone says.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is such an exciting post to be writing. On Tuesday Ellie Loves turned Two!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I have always been interested in makeup from a young age. I remember, I would ask my mother and older sister daily if they had any makeup they didn't want anymore that they could give to me. I would often </span>receive<span style="font-family: inherit;"> a tinted lip balm or some clear lip gloss but it was so exciting to me. On the 23rd of June 2013 I was very bored, I had been following lots of bloggers on Instagram, looking at pictures of their makeup was one of my favourite things to do. In all their captions they would write something along the lines of "Check out my blog- Link in bio" and being 13 and very impressionable. I thought I would create a blog- beautybyelliee.blogspot.com and here I am 2 years later. Still blogging. I never thought It would develop to this scale. Ellie loves has hundreds of followers on various social media platforms and I couldn't be prouder to call this little blog mine. Thank you all so much for following me, reading my posts and supporting me by commenting and tweeting me lovely things. My readers mean so much to me, I love you all more than you could ever know.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Thank you so much,</span><br />

It was just hanging around in my computer, I thought I would upload it. Hope you enjoy- Products listed below x<div>

But because I wear it consistently everyday, over this time I've picked up a few tips that make the dreaded part of your makeup routine a little bit easier. So, pick up your eyeliner, and lets get started.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The eyeliner I use everyday is the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Collection-Extreme-24-Hour-Felt-Tip-Liner_1160659/">Collection Extreme 24 hour felt tip liner</a> in black. It's super black, super easy to use and remove and super long lasting. Bish bash bosh, £2.99 ? Thank you very much.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So my first rule of On fleek eyeliner is to make the line smooth and continuous. If your wing is at 90 degrees to your lashline<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
, chances are your eyeliner is not so on fleek.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A tip from me when winging out your eyeliner is to line up the felt tip with your waterline/ outer corner and continue on the line of your lower lash line. With a felt tip liner this is so easy because you can literally line it up, then press down the eyeliner and voila! You have a quite weird looking line coming out the corner of your eye. Next, I draw a really thin line along my entire lashline, then going back over it and gradually thickening it as I get closer to the outer corner. I then smooth out the line carefully and there we have it. No I don't get it perfect every time, but with this simple routine, it leaves very little room for error.</div>
<div>

Hello everybody!<br />
<br />
Long time no speak, or write and read? Anyway. I thought I would check in, I have completed 15 out of my 25 exams and am currently on Half term break. Funny that- "Break" I have been revising solidly, or attempting to, all week. My last exam is on the 12th of June and I will be free until September. I have loads of plans for the summer and I am so excited. But I know that I will be keeping you guys up to date and maybe even documenting some of my trips? (*oooh* *aaaah*)<br />
<br />
I'm also writing to let you know that for some weird reason I seem to have lost every single photo on my blog. I haven't been gone <i>that</i> long! This is so frustrating but I have been trying to resolve it by finding the images on my laptop, but I can't do this for every blog post so I am sorry but some foetus Ellie Loves' posts may be deleted. This, I can promise you, is for the best. Ahahaha. Thank you for sticking by my little blog. I will see you next month for a very exciting summer here on Ellie Loves.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading, you guys mean so much to me.<br />

As I mentioned in a recent blog post, Benefit have been taking over my makeup bag recently, particularly in the cheek department. So today I thought I would share with you my favourite cheek products from Benefit.<br />
<div>

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
HOOLA<br />
I can't believe it took me so long to try Hoola! It is the perfect shade, consistency and pigmentation for me. It is so easy to bronze or contour with, all depending on your application technique. At the moment I have a mini size that I got in a set at christmas, and even though I've more or less used it every day, there is no dip in the product. When I need to I will without a doubt be buying the full size, and I can guarantee that it is worth the price tag, because it will last you forever!<br />
<br />
ROCKATEUR<br />
I bought Rockateur last July as a birthday present to myself (allow it) And I've been using it religiously ever since, It is a beauty warm rose/ peach colour with golden shimmer and just looks #flawless on the cheeks. Big thumbs up from this girl.<br />
<br />
HIGH BEAM<br />
I got a mini High beam in my christmas set too. And I'm so glad I did! It is an absolutely beautiful liquid champagne pearlescent highlighter, a classic from Benefit. It is absolutely beautiful, blends like a dream, catches the light amazingly and you only use a small amount so will last ages! Definitely will be purchasing the full size when the time comes.<br />
<br />
What is your favourite cheek product? As you can tell i'm all about the cheek products lately!<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As a few of you may know, I am taking my GCSEs at the moment, and my final exams are right around the corner. So I'm afraid to say you won't be hearing much from me in the blogging world over the next few months, These exams are really important so they really do need to take priority. After my exams are over, I have a really long summer (yaaasss) Although I do have lots of plans already, I am more than sure that I will be able to fit in some regular blogging (Get ready for prom with me anyone?). I'm sorry! Obviously I would rather be blogging that revising but I'm not sure what my teachers would say about that! ;) Thank you for understanding and for sticking with Ellieeloves! My readers mean the world to me and I can't believe how many there are of you now! See you in the summer! </span><br />

I finally took the plunge. After careful deliberation, various discussions with the lovely ladies at the Urban Decay counter and with my beauty loving friends, I went for it I bought the Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette! So I thought, why not share the photos of it, so we can all bask in its glory because that is basically what the beauty blogger community do on twitter everyday.<br />

Without a doubt I will be posting more of this absolute beauty on this blog. All the shades are absolutely beautiful and of the highest quality I have ever tried, what more could you expect from Urban Decay? Do you have a Naked Palette? If you were to buy one, which one would you buy?<br />

</div>
<br />
As you may or may not know, I am extremely lazy. Especially in the winter months, if it's dark in the morning i'm 100% less motivated for the day. So, I definitely do not want to be rummaging around my makeup storage trying to find my concealer at 7:30am. I'd much rather have everything I need in one easy access place, my makeup bag. Today I thought I would share the contents of my makeup bag with you, these products are the ones I reach for every day- so I guess you could call this my everyday makeup routine too.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n1itGqWdb_s/VPxS7-KuAPI/AAAAAAAAKfQ/yxoBllQe1Ik/s1600/FullSizeRender%2B(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n1itGqWdb_s/VPxS7-KuAPI/AAAAAAAAKfQ/yxoBllQe1Ik/s1600/FullSizeRender%2B(1).jpg" height="528" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<i><b>Foundation</b></i>- I absolutely love the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Bourjois-Healthy-Mix-Serum-Gel-foundation_1238033/">healthy mix serum</a> from Bourjois. I do not use this everyday, but<br />
I would say that it makes the skin look lovely and even,the coverage is light or medium. I have dry skin and it does not cling to any dry patches, because that is not a good look, I can assure you.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Concealer</i></b>- I really don't see the hype over the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Collection-Lasting-Perfection-Concealer_1436032/">Lasting perfection concealer</a> from collection, I find it quite drying and unforgiving - under the eyes i find it sinks into any fine lines. However, I absolutely love the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Collection-Illuminating-Touch-Concealer_867449/">Collection illuminating touch concealer</a>. I have a lot of tiredness to cover up, especially at 7am and this concealer covers it well.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Brow kit</i></b> - I wrote a post about <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/I-Heart-Make-Up/I-Heart-Eyebrow-Kit-Woke-Up-Groom-4-5g/p/981059#.VPwTb_msWSo">this brow kit</a> a few months ago (<a href="http://beautybyelliee.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/i-makeup-brow-kit.html">here</a>) So have a read of that if you want a more in depth review. But long story short, I love it- It gives me eyebrows and stops me legitimately resembling a potato. I use the middle shade mostly (and have hit pan which excites me greatly).<br />
<br />
<b><i>Mascara</i></b>- Three words; <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_123901013699_-1">Roller freaking lash</a>- the best mascara I have ever tried. Like ever. It makes your lashes look beyoootiful, lasts all day without transferring down into the panda eye region and removes easily at the end of the day. I will be purchasing the full size indefinitely.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Eyeliner</i></b>- Most days, I like to flick out my eyeliner using <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Collection/Collection-Extreme-24Hr-Felt-Tip-Liner-7-8g-Black-1/p/224869#.VPwVMvmsWSo">this eyeliner</a> it is super cheap, super black and super easy to manoeuvre. What more could you possibly ask of an eyeliner.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_123932023199_-1"><b><i>Naked basics</i></b></a> - This eyeshadow palette is perfect, I love the formula and the way the matte eyeshadows look. The shade range is perfect and the slim packaging means it is ideal for travel. The next on my hitlist is definitely Naked 1.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_123901926299_-1"><b><i>Hoola</i></b></a>- I got this bronzer in a small size for christmas and I love it so so so much. It is perfect for warming up the complexion, sculpting and just making your makeup look better. It blends flawlessly and uurrrrrrgh can you tell I love it?<br />
<br />
<b><i>Rockateur</i></b>- I don't generally wear blusher from day to day, but when I do - it is always benefits <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_123901009999_-1">rockateur</a>. I love the natural, warm glow it gives to the cheeks.<br />
<br />
<b><i>High beam</i></b>- I got a mini of <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_123901920099_-1">High beam</a> in the same set as Hoola, and I absolutely love this too. It gives such a lovely glow that blends seamlessly and ugh I love this too. Benefit's cheeks products are absolutely killing it for me at the moment.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Gimme brow</i></b>- at the end of my makeup I set my eyebrows using <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_123901011999_-1">Gimme Brow</a> , when you're not gifted in the brow department like me, You'll take any precautions necessary if it means your brows wont go AWOL half way through the day.<br />
<br />
<br />
And thats it, the products I more or less use every day. Comment below or <a href="https://twitter.com/ellieeloves">tweet me</a> letting me know your makeup bag staples! Thank you all so much for reading my blog, I appreciate every one of you so so much.<br />

<br />
So a few months ago, before my break from Blogging The lovely Yana, from <a href="http://timewithyana.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">TimeWithYana</a> , nominated me to do the 'Very Inspiring Blogger Award' and considering what an avid reader I am of Yana's posts, it would be rude not to!<br />
<br />
The rules<br />
You have to write seven facts about yourself (random or beauty related)<br />
Nominate five bloggers for the award<br />
Let your nominees know you've tagged them.<br />
<br />
Sounds fun! Let's Get right into it.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-size: large;">1,</span> I am very disorganized and a massive procrastinator.<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">2,</span> I love dressing up, not fancy dress. But I am basically always the overdressed one.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">3,</span> My friends get quite annoyed going shopping with me because I am a massive enabler, I really should work in retail haha.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: large;">4,</span> I like to live my life by the motto that you can never have too many lipsticks. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">No </span>I <span style="font-size: xx-small;">do</span> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">not</span> have a problem<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: large;">5,</span> I am quite an open minded person and I am not afraid to speak up when I don't agree with what someone is saying.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a2c4c9; font-size: large;">6,</span> I am quite clumsy, I'm constantly losing my balance, tripping over and get compared to Miranda Hart far too often.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-size: large;">7,</span> When I was four, I was dancing and jumping on the sofa to a song in "The sound of music" and I fell off, and broke my elbow. #partyhard<br />
<br />
So there you go, I hope you enjoyed learning some little facts about me.<br />

<br />
As most of you will know, I am a massive lip product lover. I'd go bold lips over bold eyes any day. Today I thought I would share my favourite lip products with you fellow lip junkies out there.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cP6lET_9R_E/VODDBOa02iI/AAAAAAAAKdA/Z7E49W0zKHs/s1600/FullSizeRender.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cP6lET_9R_E/VODDBOa02iI/AAAAAAAAKdA/Z7E49W0zKHs/s1600/FullSizeRender.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Drugstore Offering;</span><br />
The best lip product discovery I've ever made is the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets. The formula is absolutely gorgeous, It goes on opaque, sits comfortably on the lips (No flaky lips over here) and does not budge all day long- Perfect. They sure do pack a punch for under £10! I love the shades frambourjoise and Nude(ist) - both absolutely gorgeous.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The High-end Offering;</span><br />
I think everyone and their mum knows about the infamous Mac cosmetics lipstick range, the abundance of shades, finishes and collections. I love the shades Plumful- which is a dark berry toned nude shade, and Rebel - a dark pinky purple. Both are fairly long lasting, but are not matte shades, so they do need topping up every few hours.<br />
<br />
I've made a fair few makeup discoveries in the past year, I hope you enjoyed reading this, If you have any favourite lip products or recommendations then please leave them in the comments because I would love to know, I'm a bit of a lip product addict.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;">1. How would you describe yourself? </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is a hard question for me, I would describe myself as quite confident, a bit independent and very affectionate. I think I change depending on who I am around, I am very confident around strangers, not so confident around teenaged boys, sigh.<br style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;">2. Any Hobbies?</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I've loved musical theatre since I was absolutely tiny, I do not do any form of club now, but I have done various stage schools in the past. Now I just sing to my friends mostly, not sure how they feel about that. <br style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;">3. What is your favourite lipstick to give you the most confidence?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">I definitely feel more confident in a bold lip, my favourite at the moment is Mac's Rebel.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;">4. How long will you continue blogging for?</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;">I hope to continue blogging for as long as I enjoy it, as that is the ultimate reason of why I do it in the first place.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">5. Would you rather have Starbucks or Costa?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">Oh no you didn't! Oh man, I don't know! Considering I only really get frappes and Iced drinks, I guess it makes no difference to me.</span><br />

<div style="line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">
I love summer, but this might be to do with time off school. My favourite time of year is around late September/ early October when its starting to get cooler, the days are still fairly long and you can basically wear what you want.</div>
<div style="line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">Definitely my self </span></span><span style="line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">conscious</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">-ness, I don't know if this is just a teenaged thing and I might grow out of it. But right now I am very self conscious about a few things I have no control of.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">

<div style="line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I get extremely excited about High End makeup, High street is amazing, but I get a rush when I buy something from Mac or Benefit. So it has to go to High End.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I would tell my younger self not to involve myself with a few certain people, and not to pick GCSE French.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">

<div style="line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">My favourite Makeup Brand has to be Bourjois, Mac or Benefit.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">Skincare? I should definitely use some more, but at the moment I love Simple.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">I only have 1 nail polish from OPI but I love the formula so much, I definitely need to look in to buying more. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">My favourite clothing shop has to be H&M, I love their clothes endlessly and the prices are great.</span></div>

WARNING: This post is a beefy one.<br />
<br />
Recently I've been doing quite a lot of shopping, which is great for my blog, but not so great for my purse. Whenever I do this, I quite like to tell you guys about it because a problem shared is a problem halved. Right?<br />

How cute is this notebook that was in my stocking?!</div>
<br />
Over the past month I have acquired two Mac Lipsticks, that pushes my collection up to the grand total of 3! Plumful was an impulse buy, but probably one of the best impulse buys ever purchased. It is the perfect lipstick for me and has been welcomed warmly into my makeup bag. The Next lipstick was a -better late than never- Christmas present from my best friend. She knew I wanted Rebel and was the fairy godmother that made my wish come true (too far?)<br />

In boots I picked up The Real Techniques Eye Starter set. This has seriously, seriously amped up my eyeshadow game. #Hellastrong. The only brush I do not use is the eyeliner brush because I do not use Gel eyeliner, but I'm sure I can get some use out of it in the future. The brushes are uber soft and will really help you out if you are an eye makeup newbie. I also picked up some Eyelure lengthening false eyelashes because I thought they would give me a fluttery eye. I will let you know how I get on!<br />
<br />
From Bourjois, (Buy one get one half price, thank you very much.) I had really been wanting to trying the healthy mix serum for ages, I picked up the shade 52 Vanille which is a good mach for my skin. I have only used it once or twice but I really like the formula. It is fairly long lasting and does not stick to my dry patches, which almost every other foundation I have tried does. So far so Good! For half price, I picked up the Rouge edition Velvet in Nude-ist (Thank you for the recommendation <a href="http://timewithyana.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Yana</a>) I have fairly pigmented lips, so I have a bit of a mare finding nudes that don't wash me out completely. This shade is perfect for me, and I love the formula to pieces. Big thumbs up from me!<br />

<br />
In superdrug I bought this 32 piece eyeshadow palette from Revolution. The shades are warm and all really really wearable, ranging from light pink shimmers to deep bronze and cranberry shades. They blend well and the pigmentation is gorgeous!<br />
<br />
Phew, that is probably the most makeup I've ever bought in such a short space of time. Maybe I should stay away from the makeup aisles for a while.<br />

</div>
<br />
As most of you know, I am naturally seriously lacking in the eyebrow department, So I will gladly take any help I can get. I decided that, while working well as an eyebrow powder, urban decays 'faint' was much too warm toned for my face. So, with my newly found love for powder eyebrow products, I went on a hunt. In superdrug I discovered I ❤️ makeup had a brow kit. I picked up the medium shade palette - I woke up this groomed. The kit comes in three variations (Fairest of them all, I woke up this groomed and Bold is best) Each with three shades of powder, matching any shade someone could need, an eyebrow wax, a small, not completely rubbish brush and a small set of tweezers.<br />

For my eyebrows I use the middle shade and the wax, but sometimes I add a few strokes of the first or third powder to add dimension and realism. I find that the tiny brush is usable but tends to apply a little patchily, it may work better on thinner eyebrows than mine. I like to use superdrug's slanted eyeliner brush to apply the powder to my eyebrows, I then apply the wax over the top to set my eyebrows. Sometimes I apply Rimmel's lightest brow this way gel to set and enhance my brows.<br />

These powders last all day and remove effortlessly with makeup remover which I see as a massive plus. They apply nicely but It can take a while to get an even brow. The compact is slim and light and comes with a reasonable sized mirror for a good view of your eyebrow area. They sure do pack a punch for the tiny price tag of £2.99!<br />

Hello my lovelies!<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--unKAC28nfI/VKANrKl1MOI/AAAAAAAAKTU/aYePV3ka6Ck/s1600/IMG_2886.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--unKAC28nfI/VKANrKl1MOI/AAAAAAAAKTU/aYePV3ka6Ck/s1600/IMG_2886.JPG" height="480" width="640"></a></div>

2014 has literally whizzed by, that's so cliche to say I know. I've been so busy this year, but have really been trying to get into blogging regularly. Since January I have, lost my high end makeup virginity (bit weird?), got lots of new makeup, written and posted 29 blog posts, Made a <a href="https://twitter.com/ellieeloves" target="_blank">twitter account</a> for my blog, celebrated 1 year of blogging, hit 100 followers on bloglovin and much more!<br>
<br>
Sleek contour kit- I purchased this around May and have used it more or less everyday since, You can use a light amount in the day time or really build it up for parties and night time. This is one of my holy grail products and I couldn't recommend it more.<br>
<br>
Bourjois Waterproof Mascara- I love this mascara so so much, It adds so much length and volume to my lashes and I have never had a problem with clumping etc. no matter how many layers I apply. I like to use a generous coat for school and for the evening I apply one coat, wait for it to dry completely, curl my eyelashes lightly and then apply another thin coat. This gives my lashes amazing volume and it honestly looks like false lashes- without the hassle.<br>
<br>
Bourjois Lip velvet - This is the longest wearing lip product I have ever tried. I have the shade framborjois and I love it so much. My lips dry out ridiculously easily and quickly, but this product glides onto my lips and stays. It does not dry out my lips or sink into the fine lines, It does not dry into a powdery finish which I really like, yet does not smudge, transfer or flake away. I will definitely be picking up more of these.<br>
<br>
Collection felt tip liner- I love this eyeliner to pieces, Despite the minuscule price tag, it is the best eyeliner I have tried. I find pen-type eyeliners much easier to manoeuvre than liquid eyeliners. Especially for my regular winged eyeliner. It stays on my eyelid all day more or less jet black. It does tend to run a little if I cry-laugh, which I do quite a lot. But this is easily fixed, and overlooked with such a tiny price tag.<br>
<br>
Mua Undressed palette - I reach for this palette more or less every day, the pigmentation is great, the shadows blend well and the shades are gorgeous. This palette has the tiny price tag of around £4. In the future I may invest in the naked palette, but if you love the shades and not the whopping £37 price of the Naked palette then you will love this palette!<br>
<br>
Barry m bikini polish - Around the summer and early autumn this nail polish was permanently on my nails, I believe it was limited edition and I have yet to find a similar shade. I am in love with this colour!<br>
<br>
Naked basics Faint- This was a favourite for my eyebrows believe it or not. I apply this with an angled eyeliner brush, I think the shade may be a bit warm toned for my face so I don't really use it now a days, but It definitely was a favourite for 2014.<br>
<br>
Benefit Gimme Brow - I used this in conjunction with the faint eyeshadow for a perfect brow, I do recommend this product, but only for setting brows. I am extremely lacking in the eyebrow department and it did not 'gimme brow' I would not purchase again. If you are more naturally gifted in the brow department you may like this, for filling in bald patches etc but for me it was not worth the money.<br>
<br>
Short hair- In the second half of this year I have been cutting off inches of my hair like nobodies business. In the summer my hair was around my waist, In September I cut my hair to just above my bust, In October I cut my hair to about 4 inches below my collar bones. In December I cut my hair to my collar bones and I love it! It is in such good condition and It feels so lovely, i think this is the shortest I will go for a while but who knows! I am probably one of the least spontaneous people you will meet, apart from with hair cutting and travel.<br>

I've found it, Everyone's going for red and sparkly nails this christmas, I'm going nude. <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Barry-M-Gelly-High-Shine-Nail-Paint_1281299/" target="_blank">Barry M's </a> Gelly Polish In the shade 'Almond' Is my perfect nude colour, It doesn't blend into my fingertips but thats not what I wanted, It looks so lovely. It's perfect for when you want nice, manicured nails but would rather not rep bright pink or baby blue. Elegant. Sophisticated. And I'll let you know if you can get away with wearing it at a uniformed school! ;) x<br />

Sometimes change makes me sad, friends are lost, people lose contact, health deteriorates. But change makes me happy as well, friends are gained, people start talking again and people regain their health. Change is healthy, if nothing ever changed our lives would be so monotonous, get up everyday, eat cereal, go to school, go home, have a sandwich, do homework, bed. Repeat. Maybe that's why I'm writing this blogpost, I'm bored, school is so predictable. But recently I went to an open day for college and it freaked me out. My life is going to change soon and I'm bloody terrified. I'm excited as well, but mostly terrified. I think it's the choices that I have to make, I don't want to close off any doors for future me, but I don't want to take subjects that make me unhappy. I've never had to make a choice that could really impact my life before and its rather overwhelming. I know it's inevitable, I'm growing up, but I'm not ready.<br />

What are your thoughts? Do you think schools should have 16 year olds make decisions that will affect the rest of their life? I don't have a beauty post for you this week, but I just wanted to share some thoughts.Ellie Loveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10937383399456913165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7399375774802067479.post-35151569876837149212014-11-09T21:20:00.003+00:002014-11-09T21:20:40.997+00:00The five product faceSo, recently I've really been loving laziness, a complete lack of motivation has struck me at an untimely moment. So when I wake up in the morning, the last thing I want to be doing is rubbing a kajillion products on my face, If I can get an extra five minutes in bed I'm going to take it. These five products let me snuggle up in bed for a little longer, and I love them for that!<br />
<br />

<br />
Concealer - To cover up my under eye bags, I also blend it over my eyelids to bring light to the area. I don't tend to cover up spots for school because everybody has them and you gotta let 'em breathe!<br />
<br />
Eyebrow pencil - Without fail, I either use this or The shade faint from my Naked basics palette on an angled brush.<br />
<br />
Contour kit - To add a little definition to my face, I tend to go a little crazy with the highlight, but very light with the contour.<br />
<br />
Mascara - Lots of mascara, I use waterproof for long days at school.<br />
<br />
Eyeliner - For a signature 'Cat flick'<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed that little post, What does your 'five product face' consist of?<br />

<i><br /></i>
My last favourites post was in June, and I've got a lot of new products to show you so lets get cracking!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><i>Face.</i></span><br />
I've been absolutely loving the Bourjois <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Bourjois-Volume-1-Seconde-mascara_1471322/" target="_blank">waterproof mascara</a>, This is the only mascara that doesn't leave me looking like a panda at the end of the day. It still transfers below my eyes but much less than any other I have ever tried. I love the volume it gives my lashes, and strangely I prefer the lift I get without curling my eyelashes beforehand.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-72BrtoVt9Es/VFQd51YjQXI/AAAAAAAAKLw/N728WcyeJa8/s1600/IMG_2034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-72BrtoVt9Es/VFQd51YjQXI/AAAAAAAAKLw/N728WcyeJa8/s1600/IMG_2034.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
My next favourite is the <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Sleek-MakeUp-Face-Contour-Kit_1395740/" target="_blank">Sleek contour kit</a> in light. I use both the contour and the highlighter every day and I love them both, they are very pigmented and quite long lasting. As I don't wear foundation on a day to day basis, I can't expect them to last as long as they would if I did. (Did that make sense?!)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
In the past week I've been loving the 4th shade in the MUA <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/MUA-Eyes/MUA-Eyeshadow-Palette-Undressed/p/501051#.VE1UkvmsWSo" target="_blank">Undressed Palette</a>, I've just been wearing it all over my lids and have got heaps of compliments! I don't use a primer and it doesn't crease but has faded significantly by the evening. (11-12 hours of wear)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht2-FgZ1qpNgxl2hqQKiqNJOBEEBPiENbVH08WSeVMyaraylnnJ1JZiCnH1DA0YWMilDcuZGqBnv6OlS-e8-NF3y6f8XTFnty5l48K7cZjkqz3xczkmPWnOO8oXXYeLw-7UDO3haEoat8/s1600/IMG_1829.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht2-FgZ1qpNgxl2hqQKiqNJOBEEBPiENbVH08WSeVMyaraylnnJ1JZiCnH1DA0YWMilDcuZGqBnv6OlS-e8-NF3y6f8XTFnty5l48K7cZjkqz3xczkmPWnOO8oXXYeLw-7UDO3haEoat8/s1600/IMG_1829.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><i>Fashion.</i></span><br />
Coincidence or not, all of what I've been loving is from H&M. I love my thin, stipey grey jumper for layering with my lacy floral tank top and my black high waisted jeans - all h&m!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PZmpzi-z9hs/VCRM7D1y_tI/AAAAAAAAGZ4/vNeltSfKbhA/s1600/IMG_2752.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PZmpzi-z9hs/VCRM7D1y_tI/AAAAAAAAGZ4/vNeltSfKbhA/s1600/IMG_2752.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SMSXdCnCSWc/VCRM8c4UPvI/AAAAAAAAGaw/9tweP5o3Bqs/s1600/IMG_2754.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SMSXdCnCSWc/VCRM8c4UPvI/AAAAAAAAGaw/9tweP5o3Bqs/s1600/IMG_2754.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><i>Other.</i></span><br />
I've strangely really been loving X factor <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Team Lauren </span>and strictly <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Team Jake </span>I never usually like these programmes but this year I'm really into them!<br />
I've really loved twitter this month - shameless self plug follow me <a href="https://twitter.com/ellieeloves" target="_blank">Here</a><br />

That's all for this post! I hope you enjoyed, I'm getting really close to 100 followers on <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/10370965" target="_blank">Bloglovin'</a> If you could help me out I would really appreciate it!<br />

I love all the clothes in the shops at the moment. (Faint sounds of my purse crying) Autumn fashion and makeup is so pretty! So in this blog post I'm going to show you three ways to channel the bold lips trend of Autumn.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yf0Qx1G37s8/VE0T7ltTVjI/AAAAAAAAKLI/8flRCAe3Z4s/s1600/Bold%2Blips%2B3%2Bways.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yf0Qx1G37s8/VE0T7ltTVjI/AAAAAAAAKLI/8flRCAe3Z4s/s1600/Bold%2Blips%2B3%2Bways.jpg" height="212" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><i>Number one - Bare face, Bold lips</i></span><br />
I've seen this makeup look around everywhere recently. I use the term "Bare face" very lightly. I started with a fresh base blending my <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Collection/Collection-Lasting-Perfection-Concealer---2-Cool-Medium/p/870557#.VE0LdfmsWSo" target="_blank">concealer</a> under my eyes and on blemishes and troubled areas. I used the fifth shade from my MUA <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/MUA-Eyes/MUA-Eyeshadow-Palette-Undressed/p/501051#.VE0Lk_msWSo" target="_blank">eyeshadow palette</a> on an <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Superdrug/Superdrug-Pro-Slanted-Eyeliner-Brush/p/282860#.VE0Lv_msWSo" target="_blank">angled brush</a> on my eyebrows, using short gentle strokes to ensure a light, natural brow. Then, My face was a little washed out, so I decided to add some warmth with my lightest <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/SEVENTEEN-Instant-Glow-Bronzing-Powder_1321234/" target="_blank">bronzer</a> under my cheekbones and on my temples. Then I added a tiny bit of <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/benefit-theyre-real-mascara_1231677/" target="_blank">Mascara</a> to open my eyes up. I prepped my lips with a <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/popcorn" target="_blank">scrub</a> and then applied my <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Miss-Sporty-Perfect-Colour-Lipstick_1160491/" target="_blank">Lipstick in Berry me</a>, wiped around the edges with a tissue and blotted my lips. And that't it! I love this look for when you want a casual bold lip.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><i>Number two - The "Taylor swift" look.</i></span><br />
Black winged eyeliner and red lipstick - The classic Taylor Swift makeup look! #amiright. Starting off with a flawless base <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Collection/Collection-Lasting-Perfection-Concealer---2-Cool-Medium/p/870557#.VE0U8fmsWSo" target="_blank">Concealing</a> where necessary, a swirl of <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/benefit-rockateur_1367903/" target="_blank">blusher</a> on my cheeks and a sweep of <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/Sleek/Sleek-Face-Contour-Kit-Light/p/608327#.VE0Vf_msWSo" target="_blank">Highlighter</a> on the high points of my face. I used "faint" from my <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_123932023199_-1" target="_blank">Naked basics</a> palette on a slanted brush on my brows. for my eyes I used "Venus" all over the lid and "faint" in my crease and outer corner. Whilst doing my makeup for this blogpost I discovered my new favourite way of applying <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Collection-Extreme-24-Hour-Felt-Tip-Liner_1160659/" target="_blank">eyeliner</a>! I drew the wing first and matched the two eyes, Groundbreaking, I know. I then drew a thin line all over the lid and connected. My eyeliner game has never been so strong! I applied my favourite red <a href="http://www.covergirl.com/beauty-products/lip-makeup/lipstick/lip-perfection-lip-color" target="_blank">lipstick</a> (in hot 305) which a little birdie told me that this is Taylor Swifts favourite red, as I have a similar complexion to Miss swift It's mine too! #twins<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><i>Number three - Halloween queen</i></span><br />
With Halloween just around the corner, I thought I would sneak a spooky look into this post. I actually created this look on top of the previous one, but of course you can create it onto a blank canvas. I removed any face makeup because looking "dead" is actually a good thing for this look. I extended the wings on my liner and thickened the line. I then blended "Crave" from my <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_123932023199_-1" target="_blank">Basics palette</a> all over the lid. I blended a purple brown <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Estee-Lauder-Pure-Color-Eyeshadow_1104709/" target="_blank">eyeshadow</a> (smoky ember) under my eyes, I don't really know what I was trying to achieve here but I think I achieved it. I still had the red lipstick on, so I added a purple/black <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-Kate-Lasting-Finish-Lipstick_1230439/" target="_blank">lipstick</a> (04) ontop, avoiding the middle, blending with my finger as I applied. This gave a ombre-ish look. I then took my <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/benefit-benetint_2526/" target="_blank">Benetint</a> and applied some down the corner of my mouth, this was much more pink than I would of liked but benetint is a stain so there wasn't a lot I could do about it!<br />
<br />
I love bold lips in the autumn time, do you? Let me know your favourite lipstick in the comments below and which look from this post is your favourite!<br />

My name is Ellie and I am a shopaholic. So yeah, I spent a teency weency bit more money that intended last week, and a problem shared is a problem halved right? So I thought I would share what I bought with you lovely lot, on with the post!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The first Item I have is from Hollister, and I must admit I haven't been in a Hollister shop in years, I didn't plan on buying anything but when I saw this Slogan top I actually <i>loled. </i>It was £22 and it is really soft and hangs off so nicely. It's also not plastered with the Hollister logo which I like.<br />

The next shop we visited was boots, I have recently had my hair cut a lot shorter. I made a vow to myself that this time I would take proper care of my hair. So I bought a hair mask and a hair serum mist. These promised to make my hair stronger, softer and shinier- and that's what I want for my dull tangled hair! <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/LOreal-Elvive-Extraordinary-Oil-Mist-100ml_1330305/">Hair mist</a> <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/LOreal-Paris-Elvive-Full-Restore-5-300ml_1001004/">Hair mask</a><br />

I don't have pictures of these Items *sorryyyy*</div>
<br />
The last shop we visited was H&M and I bought two tops; A sheer, thin stripy grey jumper, and a lace trimmed floral tank top. I've worn these together and I loved how the lace of the top peaked out from the jumper.<br />
