The All Timers....Makeup!

Hello everybody!

If you read my blog yesterday, you will know that I am currently writing about my all time favourite products, and today's focus is makeup! I would like to continue this series further next week, please let me know if you would like to see more, fashion, photography and lifestyle for example. Anyway, here are the products that are never not in my makeup bag!

Real Techniques Core Collection

Oh I love these brushes! Since receiving these at Christmas time, the applying of my face makeup has been so much easier and quicker, instead of the smearing foundation over my face with my old battered pointed foundation brush. Particular loves of mine are the buffing brush, a blogger favourite, which helps give me a natural, perfectly blended finish and the contour brush which helps apply blush to the apples of the cheeks great, even the worst blush in my collection looks good with this. Plus the synthetic bristles means washing is an easy, quick process.

No7 Essentially Natural Foundation in Calico

This was my first even foundation, and it is a huge staple in my makeup bag! Being young, I don't like to feel like my face is caked in foundation while still having a good coverage to even out my skin and tackle any redness. Teamed with the buffing brush, this smooths into my skin effortlessly, perfecting while still allowing my skin to shine through. Also, with the No7 Match Made Service, you can find your perfect shade for free, instead of standing in Boots for half an hour, desperately attempting to find your true match. Plus. with a £3 off makeup voucher, you can get this for less than £7!

17 Wild Metallic Eye Base

17, why did you discontinue these beauties! I have instead linked what I believe to be the closest dupe of these, the Maybelline Colour Tattoos. These bases add a perfect base of colour and can be worn simply on their own or can be used beneath shadows to help them last longer. They don't crease and after a year of wearing it continuously I still have three quarters of the pot. *cries my eyes out at the thought of these gone*

Maybelline the Falsies Mascara

This mascara is a huge blogger/youtuber favourite and I can definitely see why. Personally I love lashes with volume and this mascara definitely gives me that, along with a little length. It can be worn to give natural, fluttery lashes for during the daytime but can be built up to give lengthy, volumnised lashes, ideal for an evening look . Oh and the brush is perfect for coating all the lashes. How did I cope before I bought this?

No7 High Shine Lip Crayon

I already own 3 of these and I am now lusting over their latest release 'Tropical Beach'. Currently in my collection are 'Daydreamer' ,a beautiful nude which I wear at least 3 times a week, 'Tickle', a perfect orange coral for summer and 'Delicate Pink' which is exactly what it says on the time. All 3 shades give a natural sheer coverage but can also be built up for a more intense look. They are incredibly moisturising and have fairly good staying power, though I do have to top up during the day. Plus with a £3 off voucher, they are £6!

So I hope you enjoyed this look into my makeup bag, by the way I am in no way affiliated with No7, I just really like their products, What are your all time favourite makeup items?

Love,

Bethany

The All timers...Body and Skincare.

Hello everybody!

I thought that I would have a series of posts on my blog about some of my favourite beauty products, in order for you to get to know me better. But these aren't just any favourites, these are my all time favourites! In this series, I will tell you about the products that are never not found in my collection.  I was thinking about doing a similar series  to this for fashion and photography, please leave a comment if you would be interested! Anyway, lets get started with todays feature- Body and Skincare!





















Vaseline
This product is a classic. There is a reason that a pot of Vaseline can be found in most women's collections, its simply the best, while also being ridiculously cheap to buy. Moisturising without being sticky, I personally use the original version every night in order to wake up with soft supple lips, but with countless flavours, you are sure to find one to suit you.

The Body Shop Body Butter
I'm heartbroken to see that the Body Shop have discontinued my beloved Vanilla Bliss body butter (it smells incredible!) so I have instead linked my second favourite, the Japanese Cherry Blossom, another lovely scent. Admittedly these do take a while to sink into my skin, but once they have, my legs feel soft, lasting for a good while as well. Plus the Body Shop often reduce these from £13.00 to a fiver, so they are definitely worth a look!

No7 Beautiful Skin Day Cream for Oily Skin
You will soon learn that I have a bit of a thing for No7, especially skincare. Yes their products are slightly pricey for high-street, but I believe that it is worth it. I used to really struggle with my skin, until I discovered the No7 Beautiful Skin range. Along with their foaming cleanser, this turned my skin around, I cannot recommend it more. It has a light consistency, so perfect for those with an oilier skin but it still manages to keep me moisturised through a long day. Plus with the £5 off vouchers, you can find this for below £10!

So that's it for todays all timers, please let me know if you enjoyed this, and what are your all time favourite products?

Love,
Bethany

A bit of a haul...

Hello everybody!

On Sunday morning, I had the pleasure of going shopping with my mum. I love shopping and I picked up a couple of beauty bits and a great pair of summer shorts which I thought I would share with you today.

Dorothy Perkins Indigo Denim Shorts

It is very rare for me to enter Dorothy Perkins and even rarer for me to make a purchase, however I really liked the fit of these shorts and at £15, they are great value.  Now summer is around, it is time for me to have my incredibly pale legs on show, and I am certain that I will have lots of wear out of these. I think that these will look great with a nice t-shirt, kimono thrown over the top and a pair of convere for a relaxed summer look.

Soap and Glory Hand Food

Ever since I tried their Thick and Fast Mascara , I've had a bit of a thing for Soap and Glory, and I've been lusting over this cream for some time. However now my old hand cream has finally ran out, I thought that I would try the travel size of this, which at £2.50 is a steal! (by the way, expect a review later in the week!)

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

I know, I know this product is raved about by every single blogger, youtuber, and woman in the UK but ITS THE BEST!  Perfect both beneath the eyes and on horrible blemishes this little gem is a must in every girl's makeup bag, and I am now on my third tube! Creamy, easy to apply and it doesn't crease... HOW IS THIS STUFF LESS THAN £5????

Marks and Spencer Essential Extracts Cocoa Butter and Vanilla Foam Bath

Wow, that's a mouthful! I am a big lover of M&S body care at the moment, and this stuff is lovely in a nice hot bath at the end of the day (ahhhh!). If you like the smell of vanilla and a foamy bath then this definitely for you, but they do also offer a cream variation and lots of other lovely flavours. But guess what. Its a pound. Perfect!

So guys, that's the end of my little haul for today. Thank you for reading and please leave comments, feedback or ideas for posts. I would love some feedback. As you might have seen from my last post, I am now on Bloglovin, so please follow me on there!

Love,

Well hey there!

Hello everybody!

Firstly, welcome! I am overwhelmingly excited to bring you the first post from Fairly Fantastic. I cannot simply wait to share with you a little bundle of beauty, photography and fashion and I really hope you enjoy it!

I have been thinking about setting up a blog for a long time, but have put it off... until now! It never really seemed the right time, or I was unsure of what to write about, but now I am have decided to take the jump and my head is FULL of ideas! Whether Fairly Fantastic has one reader or a hundred, I am committed to share with you what I am loving, while giving little snippets of what is going on in my life.

So what can you expect? Beauty reviews, outfit of the days, or even a film of the week! I really want to make this blog unique and creative while simply being myself as well.

So, a little about me... Well I am a British teenager who as you have probably guessed has a bit of a thing for photography. But I am also an avid reader and I love a good movie ( one of my favourites is the Hunger Games, or anything with Jennifer Lawrence really!), but of course I do love my beauty! I am not really a high-end kind of girl though, instead I prefer high-street makeup ( or drugstore if you are American!)

So if you are reading this, well thank you! It really does mean a lot to me and I hope you will share this little journey of mine with me. Please leave feedback, I would love to hear what you have to say and any advice would be appreciated, as I am new to blogging!

Love,

Bethany
