Minimal Product Makeup Look With As Few Products As Possible!

This look is quite a natural, everyday makeup look but with as few products as possible. This is for those of you who have very little time in a morning and need as few products as possible. I managed to do this look with just four products in total.

First take a medium coverage foundation. Rimmels Match Perfection or Maybellines Super Stay 24-hour foundation are good drugstore ones to use. I find this is great to use as both foundation and concealer because you can apply it sheerly to the whole face and more heavily to problem areas. You can use your fingers to apply this quicker.

Then take a bronzer, I'm using NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Powder in Sunny and use this to warm up your face as well as in the crease of your eyelid to add definition. You can also use this in your brows to slightly fill them in. You could also use this as an eyeliner.

Then take your favourite mascara, I'm using Benefits They're Real.

Finally take a lip balm or lipstick and use it both on your lips and cheeks. I'm using Baby Lips in Cherry Me. Blend it out with your fingers on the apples of your cheeks for a subtle glow.

August Favourites

I know that it is a little early for August Favourites but I wanted to get this post up before I went home. I have a mixture of products that I have loved this month, here they are!

1. Isle of Luxe Coconut Scrub

I went to Celebration in Florida and in a restaurant they were using this scrub as soap in the toilets. It was available to buy and I just had to. It is incredible and hard to explain. You use it as a scrub as normal and it has anti-bacterial soap in it but this scrub makes your hands feel so smooth. The scent is gorgeous too but it is unbelievable how silky it makes your hands feel! At $25.95 it isn't cheap but I would 100% purchase this again.

2. The Body Shop's Coconut Body Scrub

As you can tell I'm really into the Coconut Scrubs! I purchased this from Ulta and I love using it once a week really just to pamper myself. During summer your skin can get very dry but using this makes it good as new. 

 3. Icing's Expert Stippling Brush

In my last favourites post I mentioned my love for MAC's Face and Body foundation. I decided to buy myself a stippling brush to apply it with and this one does the job really well. I think it compares to MAC ones, I would recommend looking at these brushes.

4. Clarisonic Mia

I love this thing. I have used it every day since purchasing it. I can't say that my skin is perfect yet because as the sales assistant warned me, for the Clarisonic to work I may get a few breakouts within the first month or so of using it to get all of the bad things out of my skin. Despite this, I feel that with my Clarisonic, my skin feels so fresh and clean. I will review it when I get home to England.

5. Gelish A Mint of Spring

My sister actually purchased this with my Sallys Card and I have been obsessed with the colour. As you know by now, I love blue on my nails and this colour I have been in love with! Also, since it is gel, it stays on for a good few weeks. I love it.

6. Clinique Acne Solutions

Although I haven't found this to completely vanish my blemishes, it helps to reduce them. It really helps to reduce the redness and make them calm down. I really like this stuff and will repurchase it.

7. Simple Eye-Makeup Remover

My final beauty favourite is this, I really like it for removing waterproof mascara. Although I'd have to say that I still prefer my homemade makeup remover. I have a post on how to make that here.

8. ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

I love the whole concept of this, just like the no makeup selfies for cancer research. I have loved watching so many people take part in this for ALS.

9. Once Upon A Time

My final favourite of this month is this TV Show. I have been meaning to get into it for a while and after buying the first season I watched it all within 5 days. I love this show. It is about several fairytale characters being stuck in the real world and not remembering who they are as the Evil Queen has cast a curse. It sounds a little far-fetched but I am really enjoying it. It is the perfect mix between reality and fairytales. I would definitely recommend watching this if you don't already.

Those are my favourites this month! What have you been loving?

Fresh Minerals Powder Foundation Review

Hey guys!
As I've said in many previous posts, I'm not much of a foundation person. I'd love to be but to be honest I don't tend to find any that I like. Only 2: Bourjois Healthy mix Serum and Fresh Minerals Powder Foundation. I have very awkward skin, it tends to have a lot of redness and can't decide whether its dry or oily. This is extremely annoying because my forehead and the bridge of my nose are extremely oily, whereas my chin and around my nose are very dry. This makes it very difficult to find foundations that compliment both skin types. However with this powder foundation I'm going to be reviewing today, its not the case, I'll tell you why. Also I wanted to say that all products mentioned are linked if you click on them.

So this is a powder foundation and I use a real techniques multi-task brush to apply it. I find that this gives me the correct amount of product and this brush really helps me to blend the foundation in well. I love this foundation because it give a nice coverage but still allows your natural skin to shine through. It is a little orange tinted but not over the top which I like because it makes me look quite glowy and not too pale. It also makes my skin look quite dewy and nice. 

This powder foundation had two different sections. One contains 'radiant' coverage and the other 'natural'. Personally I prefer the natural one because the radiant one can look very shiny and glimmery. Both are good though. 

I got this powder foundation in a set with a primer and kabuki brush. The brush is fantastic, I think it's similar to the real techniques stippling Brush but smaller. The primer so terrible though! You can see it on your face and it feels horrible and greasy.

The only disadvantage with this product is the fact that its powder. I like that in terms of coverage and texture because it feels light on your skin and doesn't look cakey but since its powder, its very messy. When you open the lid, powder tend to fly out and if you tip the right amount onto the lid, it can make a mess, also when trying to tighten the lid this happens. The powder is orange like I mentioned earlier so when wiping it off a wooden or white surface, it can leave stains and get into the grooves but if you can get past this and learn to do it more neatly, I would definitely recommend buying it because it is my favourite foundation.

How I Clean My Makeup Brushes

Hi guys,
So I have never been one to clean my makeup brushes very often but recently I have begun to keep them clean because I've found a much more easy and effective way of cleaning them. It is a lot more important than we realise to keep our brushes clean and today I'm going to show you how to clean your brushes.

Why Clean Them?
Many people don't realise it but most acne is actually due to dirty makeup brushes. When you use a brush to apply coverage to blemishes or acne, the bacteria is then on your brush so when you use it to apply makeup to other areas of the face, it is spreading the bacteria and causing blemishes in other areas of your skin. If you don't clean them very often, the bacteria is constantly building up and it becomes a very easy way to get bad skin. Cleaning your brushes often can prevent a lot of acne and if you clean them well, they can also be very conditioning to your skin.

How Often Should I Clean My Brushes?
At least once a month on average but if you often use brushes, especially for things like concealer and foundation, you might be better washing them more often. If you have acne prone skin and use makeup every day, I would recommend washing them once a week or spot cleaning them after every use and a deep clean once a month as usual.

How I clean my brushes:
I don't spot clean because personally I don't think it does anything for the brushes, so I tend to deep clean the brushes I have used most every Friday and give them chance to dry fully over the weekend. This may sound very often, but it is better for reducing acne in the long run.

Things you'll need:
Baby Shampoo (or a gentle shampoo)
A Sink or tap
A Towel
Your Brushes
Your hand!

1. Take your gentle shampoo, I use the Johnson's Baby Shampoo in honey. I keep this shampoo specifically for makeup brushes because it is left over from when my little sister was a baby and so we don't use it anymore. A decent sized bottle like mine does last a long time.

2. Now squirt some onto the palm of your hand (preferably over the sink or bath), I like to use quite a decent amount because it lathers better for a deeper clean. I also like to add a drop of water from the tap onto the shampoo because it helps it to lather better.

3. Then take your makeup brush and rub it in circular motions into the shampoo on the palm of your hands. It should lather up and you should quite quickly the colour come out of the brush. The shampoo is usually a clear/white colour so you should see it change depending on the brush. You will be surprised on the amount of foundation that comes out of your brush. Then turn the tap on and wait for the water to be warm, then I put my hand under the tap, continuing circular motions with the brush. Eventually the brush should look just like its new and then its clean!

4. Then I put my brush on a towel and leave them to dry. I like to leave them to dry overnight, leave them longer if possible. Now your brushes are clean!

Disappointing Beauty Products of 2013

Hi everyone!
So the other day I did my favourite products of 2013 and obviously with favourites come disappointing products so today I thought I'd tell you about disappointing products I have bought and will not be repurchasing.

1. Tresemme Dry Shampoo
Ok, so I purchased this product simply looking for a solution to days when I don't want to wash my hair and it looks really greasy because I struggle with my hair. I have to wash it every day otherwise it looks disgustingly greasy and feels horrible. So anyway, I bought this product hoping to find a solution to this problem and I was thoroughly disappointed with this dry shampoo. I sprayed it on my hair as normal, brushed it through and did everything it said on the bottle and then when I looked in the mirror, my hair was grey! I had to wash it out immediately which completely defeated the object of the dry shampoo, I tried it again later only to find the same result so I threw it in the bin and will never buy it again.

2. Rimmel scandal eyes mascara
Ok, so you guys have heard me rant about this mascara from the day I got it. It is clumpy and horrible! The applicator is huge and very inconvenient, overall, its just a terrible mascara.

3. maybelline dream matte mousse
This mousse foundation is orange. I have it in the shade 'light' and if I put it on, even if I work it right into my skin, it looks orange, it really is a bad foundation.

4 maybelline dream bouncy blush
This product really appealed to me. The colours were so pretty and they had samples, now I see why, its their only selling point! These blushes feel spongey and 'bouncy' like it says in the name but they are not pigmented at all and you can't even see that you're wearing any.

5. Fructis Triple Nutrition
I've ranted about this product before. I bought it because it says that it is for the face, skin and hair. It is supposed to make everything look and feel healthy. Really it feels like oil when you put it on your skin and if you put it in you hair, it looks greasy and the strands separate to look like straw! It is nothing what they make it out to be and I really regret buying it.

6. Got 2 B Salt Infusion Spray
So another product that I was really excited to try was this salt infusion waving spray. I saw an advert for this and it really looked appealing not having to use heat. If you have ever seen the advert, the girls hair looks like 'mermaid' hair, perfectly crimped and looking great although when I tried it myself, this was the result:

This hair just looks like I haven't brushed it, not wavy at all. It also makes it feel salty, like you've been in the sea and not just washed your hair. Overall I was majorly disappointed with this product.

7. Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer
I just don't think that this concealer is worth the hype. It really doesn't cover under eye circles, blemishes or discolouration so overall I was genuinely disappointed with this concealer.

Ok, sorry to rant so much but at least now you'll know not to buy these products!

2013 Beauty and Fashion Favourites

 Hey guys,

So this is the first favourites post I've ever done and so I've started on quite a big one - Yearly Favourites. Since I am a beauty and fashion blogger, these will all be beauty and fashion related: makeup, hair care, skin care, outfits, ranges etc. I've split my post into 2, beauty and fashion so that those who are only keen on one can just read that part. Hope you enjoy it!

Beauty
1. Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum
This products is all-round great. I love the light coverage feel it gives to your skin and I love the fact that it looks great but feels nice on your skin and looks natural. It is very inexpensive but worth it. It also smells like strawberries! < Always a plus!

2. Rimmel Eyeliner
This is a newly found product for me. I wanted a black eyeliner and asked my older sister if she had one, she said I could have this Rimmel one and I'm so glad she did! I am running out of this eyeliner so I tried looking for another black eyeliner and after purchasing a couple, I realised that nothing was as good as my Rimmel one!

3. Sun in Spray
I bought this spray as I desperately wanted to dye my hair but wasn't allowed and it really does my a difference! You simply spray in a little and either blow dry it or 'let the sun do the work' and the next day, your hair looks genuinely lighter. I've had so many people ask me if I've dyed my hair and its all thanks to sun in!

4. Neutrogena Acne Cleanser
I love this cleanser, it is my favourite hands down. I really do think its the best out there, for me it tops all of my decleor and dermalogica cleansers. I have purchased so many of these and would definitely recommend it for all of you!

5. Dial Soy and Almond Milk Body Wash
Oh. My. Gosh. The smell of this body wash… it is so good. Honestly, it is my favourite scent. It reminds me a lot of a coconut scent but its actually soy and almond milk. This is my favourite body wash, I've repurchased it countless times and will be in the future. Again, its so inexpensive too!

6. Satin Care Shaving foam
I only started using shaving foam this year and let me tell you, it makes shaving your legs so much faster and easier! I have once again repurchased this product so many times and will be in the future - its great! It also lasts for such a long time!

7. Freeman Face Masks
Ok, so you've heard me rave about these in so many of my posts so I'm not going to go too much into it today but lets just say, these things are my saviours on a bad skin day… they're amazing!

8. Baby Lips
Everyone loves baby lips! See my first blog post for my review on them… pretty much all positive!

9. Eos lip balms
These are so moisturising and great. The smells and tastes are also just delicious. I love them so much and can't wait to collect more!

Fashion

1. Shops

So once again I've been loving lots of shops but this year my love for the shops Aeropostale, Pac Sun, Urban Outfitters, American Eagle, Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe have grown. My style has changed ALOT over the past year, past few months actually. I've grown to be a lot more daring and not care as much what people think. I'm a lot more confident and try to wear some more wild clothes every now and again, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I mix it up a bit more and don't always 'play it safe'. I have to say, I'm so glad, shopping and styling is so much more enjoyable now and these shops are to thank for it.

2. Leggings and Jumpers

I've always loved leggings but just as much as jeans but this year I have worn leggings probably 85% of the time, I've bought probably 10 more pairs of leggings because I wear them that often. I really do love them, especially with jumpers. I just think that they're so alternative, you can wear them dressed-up or down and they're always so comfortable.

3. The Bethany Mota Collection by Aeropostale.

I LOVE this collection. I've only just heard of Bethany Mota (A well-known you tuber) as I've only just become part of the youtube world and I noticed she had a range in Aeropostale but didn't realise that ALL of the clothes on my most recent shopping trip are actually from her range, nothing from the others. I'm absolutely in love with her collection and would really recommend checking it out.

So these are my 2013 favourites! I hope you enjoyed this post

2014 Goals

So its coming to the time when everyone begins to both reflect on the past year and think about their wishes and 'resolutions' for the next year. In todays blog post I'm going to reveal my goals for next year blog and beauty related and general life goals. I am also going to say at the end what my plans are in terms of my blog for next year. This is not a review, haul or beauty tutorial so if you follow me for that reason the feel free to click off this post now but I know that lots of you show a great interest in my life so for all of you, keep reading.

Goals for 2014:
Blog Goals:
1. Reach 3000 followers.
I know this is a big ask but seeing as I have gained 1000 in the past month, I thought it was a reasonable target.

2. Become peoples 'favourite blogger'.
This in itself would be a huge ask. I am so grateful to all of you and it would really make my day if one day I can earn the title of your 'favourite blogger'. I will work hard to achieve this title.

3. Improve my posts.
Obviously there is plenty of room for improvement and I would like to fill this space so that my blog is the best it can possibly be next year. Help me improve by answering the questions in my previous "Your Wishes" post.

4. Keep to my posting schedule.
You are all so kind to me that I really want to stick to my promises and post when I say I will. At the minute this is every Monday, Friday and Sunday. Whether that will change, I don't know.

5.  Make 'PinkCupcake' a well-known blog.
Despite having 1000 followers, my blog is definitely not a 'well-known' one. I would like for next year my blog to become a success and for people to have heard of it outside my group of followers. Spread the word!


Life Goals:
1. Always see a silver lining.
This was my 2013 resolution and it will be repeated every year because I think that it's important to remember the good things in your life and not focus on the bad. I will always strive to be a happier person.

2. Eat healthy and Drink lots of Water
I need to begin to eat 5 fruit and vegetables a day and a wider variety of foods and drink lots more water to stay healthy.

3. Be a 'fit' person.
By 'fit' I mean exercise a lot. I want to take up jogging again and stick to running every Sunday that I can.

4. Look after my skin.
I want to remember to cleanse and moisturise every day and night to maintain good skin.

5. Study hard.
With my GCSE exams coming up, I want to study hard and work for good grades at the end of the year.

6. Have fun!
Overall, my main goal for next year is to simply have fun. At my age, and at any age for that matter, we should all have fun.

Plans for my blog in 2014:
Next year I want to make my blog more personal. Since PinkCupcake7 is an anonymous blog, I thought I'd have to stick to simple reviews and tags but now I have realised that I can go a lot further with my blog, staying anonymous. Next year I am going to feature more lifestyle posts as well as sticking to my beauty-related posts. These may include things like "Whats in my bag?", "School essentials" and "Whats on my phone?" etc. Basically, I want to do a wider range of posts. I'm also hoping to do more tutorials and videos, I have really enjoyed both filming and editing videos so next year I am hoping to do more of that. Comment below how you feel about these minor changes to my blog in the upcoming year.

Thank you everyone for reading. I can only hope that all of these things come true. I'm grateful for everything I already have, I just think its important to set yourself goals.

What are your goals and hopes for next year?

My Christmas Presents

Hey guys,
I hope you all had a great christmas! I know I did! Today I thought I'd tell you some beauty products I got for Christmas. I'm not going to bore you with all the wonderful gifts I received because I don't want this to be a boring blog post as I am a beauty blogger, anyway, here are the beauty products I got for christmas.

Ok, so you all know what products I wanted for christmas if you've read my previous blog posts. I haven't yet received them all because my family often spend Christmas abroad seeing as we have a holiday home so these are the products I've gotten over seas. I'll let you know what other gifts I received when I return to the UK.

1. Britney Spears Perfume Kit

I have previously had the perfumes Midnight Fantasy, Fantasy and Curious by Britney Spears and they have all been some of my favourite perfumes so when I opened this present I was thrilled. It contains: Fantasy, Radiance and Curious (Radiance also smells amazing!) and it also has a small container things where you can place the small tube of perfume into it to travel with. It's like the little things where you pump the perfume into a small container except with this one you can swap it quicker. This was a great present.

2. One Direction One Moment Perfume.

So over the past year, I have joined all the Directioners out there in becoming obsessed with One Direction. I always liked them but this year I've watched their film (which started my obsession), bought their latest CD, concert Tickets, magazines, books.. everything. One Moment was on my christmas list simply because it was One Direction so when I received it and opened it, the first thing I did was smell it (obviously) and it smells amazing! I would actually buy it even if it wasn't One Direction, its one of my favourites and its all I've worn over the past few days.

3. Beauty Blender

This was a late add-on to my Beauty Christmas List because I've seen so many you tubers rave about them. They are a small sponge that you place in water and it grows, you then dampen it and use it to blend foundation or makeup in. It is really good and I didn't notice how big it grew! If you see in the group photo of my presents you'll see it in its small packaging before I put it in water and then below it's lots bigger and will not fit into the packaging.

4. Real Techniques Makeup Brushes
So I wanted some great makeup brushes for Christmas and I got some! These are great, I would definitely say better than Mac ones (my sister has Mac ones) and much cheaper. If you are deciding to purchase some good makeup brushes, I'd defineatly go with these, they're worth the money you pay for them. I only got the starter set (A multi-task brush which I use for blush/powder foundation, a foundation brush which I use for liquid foundation and concealer and an Eyeshadow brush.).

5. Maybelline Colour Sensation Lipsticks
I wanted a pink and red lipstick and I got them from this brand. I already have a purple one from this brand so I already knew they were great. They are so pigmented and the colour really does last. When I opened it on Christmas Day, I swatched them on my hand, now on the 27th baring in mind that I've washed 3 times since, they are still visible on the back of my hand. Obviously they've faded, but they're still visible. I have the colours 870 and 895.

 6. A Mac Eyeshadow Palette.
This is my first Mac product! Yay! I wanted an eyeshadow palette containing some gold and browns etc but didn't ask for Mac so when I opened this product i was so excited to try it! These eyeshadows are super pigmented, last so well and are so vivid, I love this present.

Thank you for reading! What did you get for Christmas?

Christmas Day Outfit

Hi everyone!
Christmas day is almost upon us! Yay! I love christmas but usually I have to say that when it comes to looks, I don't make an effort on christmas day. I'll not even have a shower so my hair will be greasy, no makeup and I won't get out of my pyjamas until lunch, even then I'll only have some joggers on. However this year, I wanted it to be different. I want to make a big effort and look nice on christmas so this is what I am going to wear.

So this is a burgundy dress with lace detail at the top. It has an underskirt making the bottom of the skirt come out. It is quite dressy however it is reusable and I will wear it again.

This is quite a comfy dress really and it fits very well. It has a zipper up the back from the waist upwards and a ribbon tie around the middle making it fit securely and look a lot nicer. This also makes it look a lot more slimming and shows off your waist more. You could probably pair this dress with a belt to show of your waist further and create a bigger slimming effect.

I probably won't wear shoes on the day because I won't be leaving the house but if I was attending a bigger occasion or a party or something, I would pair this dress with quite simple shoes. In the photo, I have some new black heels of mine from the Lauren Conrad range at Kohls, these were on sale so I took the opportunity. This dress would also look nice with nude shoes.

I purchased this dress at Dillards but I have previously seen a very similar one at JCPenny. I would say that this dress isn't the cheapest in the world but if you're wearing it again it will be worth it, it is very good quality. I also think it's worth mentioning that you should try this dress on before purchasing it as the sizes can be very inaccurate. For example, I'm usually a size 0 but this dress is a size 2-3 and I'm definitely not a 2-3. I'm so glad I tried it on otherwise I wouldn't have bought it!

Mini Beauty Haul

Hi everyone!

I've recently been on a small beauty haul, not to anywhere special just to tesco and I've purchased some great products so I decided to review them for you today.

So I purchased lots of makeup. The first product I bought was the Rimmel London Fix & Primer. This was a repurchase because I've used up my first bottle! I love this product so much. It feels like a moisturiser when you rub it into your skin and it makes your makeup last all day, I would definitely say that this is my favourite primer. Its so inexpensive too, its great.

My next item was the Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circles Concealer. This was a product that I have already purchased but lost so I have repurchased it. This is 100% my favourite under-eye concealer, I love the sponge applicator and I would definitely recommend it. 

The next product is the Rimmel London True Match Perfection Foundation in the colour Classic Ivory. I have not yet used this item since purchasing it but I have borrowed someone else's not long ago and really liked it so I decided to buy myself one. I am hoping that this is going to be my favourite foundation because if you've read my previous blog posts, you'll know that I've been waiting to find a foundation I love. With the way it felt when I borrowed it, I'm sure it will.

I also bought another foundation: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in the colour Vanilla. I also borrowed this foundation and paired it with Rimmel London True Match Perfection and loved the way my skin appeared so I just had to purchase this myself. The foundation feels very light on your skin which is the way I like it and gives quite a light-medium coverage. I also loved that it smelt like strawberries. I really enjoyed using this foundation.

The next product is the Bourjois Blush in the colour Rose 15. This is a much darker colour blush which is what I wanted for this winter season, it is also very autumnal so I will use it next year too. I already have a Bourjois Blush and I really like that so I thought it was safe to buy another from this brand.

Th final product I purchased was the Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer. I was reading Harrietjacksonx blog post not long ago and she said she liked these lip lacquers so I decided to try them out for myself. I have it in the colour Nova and I really like this product so far.

Overall, my haul was a big success and I can't wait to use these products in the future.
