Review of No7 Blush Tint Powder in Soft Damson

Hi guys. I have a confession for you today - despite being fascinated by make-up for about 5/6 years now, I never really wore blusher. I was a mascara, eyeliner and foundation hoarder. Looking back, I really have no good reason to give you guys as to why I never wore blusher. It makes no sense. Anyway, I went on to buy a Maybelline Dream Mouse Blush in Dolly Pink a couple of years ago and I hated it - waaaaay too much glitter in there for a day-to-day look. Then came a Miss Sporty Blush, which was a lovely colour, again had a little glitter in it, but it wasn't very pigmented so I decided, enough is enough, my face needs some colour! 

This is where the No7 Natural Blush Tint Powder in Soft Damson came in.

How much is my face worth? - Tag

I've seen quite a few bloggers do this now and it looked like fun and was a good way to show you what products I use everyday. I've also included the tools I use everyday as well :)

Review of Ciate's Mini Mani Month

Hi guys! My first review for you here :) and I apologise because it is the Ciate Mini Mani Month and it is the mid-end of January. I wasn't going to post this originally, but I didn't have a blog in December and Ciate did tweet that they had brought back the Calendar so I thought I would put it up anyway! Plus, it doesn't necessarily have to be used as a count down to Christmas  it could be a countdown to a birthday or other special event!


So, first things first - this is awesome! I cannot recommend this enough to anyone who likes nail polish. If you have a friend or relative who loves nail polish, buy this for them, when it next becomes available and you have a present that will be well appreciated. There are colours for everyone and, whilst there are a couple of colours I wouldn't really use unless I was doing funky nail art, there are also colours I wouldn't have thought about getting but absolutely love!

I got this a part of my Christmas present last year (feels so weird saying that when it was only a month ago!) and it retailed at £38 at Selfridges. It was then reduced down to £19 in the sale, so if you managed to get one for that price you got a bargain, especially when you consider that they are now charging over £50 for them on eBay!

Beauty Haul #1: Boots and Superdrug

I went a little crazy this past month and spent a bit too much on beauty products (among other things) so I though I would show you guys what I bought!



First up is a lovely Barry M Lipgloss. I don't normally wear lip products (other than balms) but this was a nice glossy, natural looking gloss and I thought why not! The shade is 4-Matt Pink and it was £3.99 from Boots!

Welcome


Hi guys,

I just wanted to introduce myself! I go by the name of Dixie, but this is not my real name, just a nickname. I am 22 and a student in England. This blog will contain all of my beauty nonsense really, and some random lifestyle posts. The plan is to go through the mass of things I own, and obviously review them, but there will definitely be some hauls and purchases in between!

I started this blog after getting absolutely hooked on reading other peoples blogs over the summer. I used to work in Superdrug when I was in college, and the amount of make-up I have is ridiculous so I figured I might as well share my views. I felt that other blogs were really useful so I thought why not share mine? At least this way I can slightly justify the amount of money I spend on it :)

I look forward to speaking to everyone soon! If you have anything you want to ask, just comment below or tweet me! My details are in the sidebar :)

Also, feel free to leave a link to your blog!
