♡June favorites 2015♡

Hey friends! So as sad as it is that its the end of the month, I am happy to finally be doing a favourites! Also I have lots of exciting posts planned for next month but if you have any posts you really want to see then please let me know in the comments! but let's get into this post!

 

Makeup and Beauty:

• so the first thing is one if the Collection Lip Butters I reviewed two post ago and its the colour Vintage Rose. I won't go on about it but if you want to know then take a looksie in that post, and if you were wondering; yes, I can get away with it at school!

• the next thing is one of the colours in the Go To Heaven pallette by Revolution, its a plain brown colour and I use it to fill in my eyebrows because its just the perfect colour. Only thing is its really tiny so I will need to find a substation soon!

• a nail polish I have been loving is one I think I mentioned in my last haul and its the Rimmel nail polish in the colour Danny Boy Blue. It's so pretty and dark nautical blues always get me in a summer mood!

• this one you may have seen a picture of my Instagram and it's the Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Moisturizer, its really great as a makeup base and it smells pretty and I really love the packaging and the lid which is probably really weird but oh well!

• a Lush product I adored was kindly bought for me buy my lovely friend Charlotte. They are  from Lush Oxford Street and are these adorable little pink stars called Double Vitality and they are solid bath oils that melt and are really soothing and smell gorgeous. Oh and they make the bath pink which is always a bonus!

 

Fashion items and Trends:

• this one is probably no surprise to anyone but I would hate to disappoint! Its my beautiful Red Herring sunglasses that I love so much, I have been finding an excuse to wear them whenever I can.

• next are my Bambi lounging shorts from Primark. These, I don't think count as 'fashion' but I thought I would throw them in anyways because I have been wearing them a lot when income home from school and its hot and I just wanna throw on something comfy!

• okay so I'm pretty sure most girls, (or guys) have, had or will have a pair of plain Converse and that's because they are bloody amazing, they are so comfy, they go with everything, they can be dressed up, dressed down, and over all look super Tumblr!

• a trend I have seen that is really cool is this hair rings thing, im pretty sure how it works is you just add them into a hairstyle and they are like mini accessories. I really want to find some and join the stly because I think its super awesome and vamps up a normal hairstyle.

 

 

Songs, Books and T.V:

• my first song pick is one all my socially awkward llama friends can relate to its called Here by Alessia Cara. Its such a cool sing and I think more people should know about its awesomeness! Go listen to it now!

• this song isn't new but it's one I have re-fallen in live with, its Unpredictable by my babies 5 Seconds of Summer and I adored it when it first came out then didn't listen to it for a while, then I stumbled on it a couple weeks ago and I can't stop listening to it. I also love it because it beautifully sums up a situation I am in at the moment and I just freaking love it!

• a book I have nearly finished is Carrie Hope Fletchers book, All I Know Now. I had such high hopes for this book because I love Carrie and her videos and I wanted the book to be just as good and it is! Its not like other experience and help books where it's all deep, she writes in such a witty way that I find so enjoyable, I can wait to get to the end!

• I had no hesitations to say that Pretty Little Liars is my T.V favourite! I am loving the new series and I am just obsessing over it!

• okay no one cyber punch me, but I have never seen the movie Expelled untill now but I am so happy I have because its hilarious and is now one of my favourite movies!

 

 

Other stuff:

• do you ever have that one food you could eat all day? Mines has been oranges, like the really big proper oranges with the thick skin! Ah they are just so yummy when it's hot and I'm always just in the mood.

• this isn't exactly mine it's my brothers and it's a X Mini speaker, it's portable and you just plug it in using the headphones hole in any devise and it will start to play it out loud. I can keep using his so I will try and buy my own one but in white.

• and the last thing is by far the most exciting of all these and it is GAY PRIDE!!! I am so happy to have witnessed all love become equal and be embraced. I am so happy for anyone I know who is LGBT and for any of you guys who are as well! LONG LIVE LOVE IS LOVE!

♡21 questions tag ♡

Hey guys! I decided I would do a questions post because especially as I'm an anonymous blogger you guys really know not a lot about me! If this is a post you like then comment and let me know some other questions or tags I could do.

 

 

1. Are you named after anyone?
As far as I know my real name isn't named after anyone but it is the same name as my dads cousin which is pretty cool I guess. But my name on here (Juliette) did have a meaning which I can go into if you want.

2. When was the last time you cried?
I cried laughing yesterday because my best friend was being a total idiot in French yesterday and one inside joke led to another and after that I was laughing hysterically, clapping like a seal, not breathing and crying. It was a great lesson!

3. Do you have kids?
Dude......I'm 14 no I don't. No judgment to you 14 year old mothers, you're doing awesome!

4. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?
No way I have no clue how I have friends, I must be so annoying and I make the worst jokes, but I think my friends still love me!

5. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Ermmm yesss! I do a lot but to be fair I have cut down on sarcasm since like two months ago. I used to fit it in like every other conversation.

6. Will you ever bungee jump?
I really really hope so I love doing crazy stuff like that. All things I have never done before, if I get the opportunity I will do them!

7. What is your favourite cereal?
Well this is probably more difficult to answer than it should be because I friggin love cereal but I would have to say.... Coco pops. Yeahhh coco pops.

8. What is the first thing you notice about people?
I had to think hard about this but I think I have decided on height because I'm not that tall so I notice if someone is taller or shorter than me straight away. Sometime I will be walking down the street and if I see someone I am going to walk past, I try and estimate how tall they are from far away.

9. What is your eye colour?
Well, fun fact my eyes change colour pretty much everyday but the are always in the range of greeny blue - dark brown.

10. Scary movie or happy ending?
I do like both a lot but I do like me a god ol' happy ending, even if its not a soppy lovey dovey one.

11. Favourite smells?
Fruity, and sweet smells, the smell of something baking, paint and burning.

12. Summer or winter?
Summer because there are so many things you can do and you make more memories and summer...just...summer!

13. Computer or television?
Computer because Netflix is all I really watch and I can have that going on in one half of the screen and doing some other thing like blogging, on the other half.

14. What is the furthest you have been from home?
Florida! And I really want to go further!

15. Do you have any special talents?
Well I kinda suck at life but I am really good at reading people, like knowing the kind of person they are before I meet them but without being stereotypical. And I learn mannerisms of people I know so I can tell what is going on with them like if they are sad or in love or lying, (that one comes in handy) even if they don't make it obvious at all.

16. Where were you born?
Here in good old Britain!

17. What are your hobbies?
Eating, singing, dancing, acting, creative stuff, walking, talking, doing new things, blogging and baking.

18. Do you have any pets?
No but I really wish I did...so bad!

19. Favourite movie?
I have so many but I love The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty, its a good film if you haven't seen it please do, stop now, go watch it!

20. Do you have any siblings?
Yes two brothers.

21. What do you want to be when you grow up?
Happy!

♡review: collection work the colour lip butter♡

What's up sugar lumps?! Hope you are all having a good day. So today is my first review (woohoo!) but please let me know in the comments any other reviews you would like me to do and i will go and buy it, but just so you know I am having trouble replying to comments right now so don't be disheartened if I don't reply for a while. So let's get into the review!
 

 

So what are Collection Work The Colour Lip Butters? Well, they are like a mix of a lipstick, lip stain and lip balm all in one. They come in a range of four colours and are all £2.99, which is really good compared to other products. In general I have found all of the lip butters to be absolutely amazing. Overall they are really good quality and keep their colour for a long time. They are super moisturizing and I found all of them match my skin tone really nicely and I know suit others well too. Another thing I thought was cool is that their packaging is the exact same colour as the product which doesn't seem that big of a deal. But let's say you are in Boots and you wanted to buy one but the testers are missing and the other products were sealed? Well because you now know that the package is the exact colour, then you know what it is you are buying. You're welcome!

 

The only negative comments I could say would be that they are very soft and have a habit of breaking if you use them too excitedly (like me) so don't do that! They don't have LOADS of product but they are cheap so I think that's okay. Also, just as a side note I would recommend exfoliating your lips before because any dry skin will start to show.
 

 

1 Popping Pink

This is a very vibrant hot pink that overall has a amazing colour payoff and pigmentation. It is one of the more glossy looking colours and is pretty smudge resistant which is important for such a bright colour that can easily be seen if its out the lines. Bit embarrassing. This is one of those colours that I can see myself wearing on a beach in the sunshine.

2 Cappuccino

I have to say that sadly this is my least favourite colour. Its nude but also pinky with a definite sheen. Its lighter than my lips and I guess could be classed as a natural lip colour, although I don't love it other people might be able to pull it off better than I can so don't be disheartened. I don't know...its just weird.

 

3 Vintage Rose

The perfect way to describe this colour is 'your lips but better' its pretty much a typical natural lip colour but more enhanced with a brown/orange undertone. On the lips its not as glossy looking as the others which is another reason I think its the perfect everyday lip colour. This will definitely be my go to for a while, I could probably get away with it at school but who knows, I can always try.

 

4 Perfect Plum

Okay so I thought that the more pinky colour would be my favourite but I was so wrong. Its a beautiful purple that's somehow rich but not too dark with just the perfect amount of shine! I don't ever rock dark lips but I adore this colour so if you don't normally wear dark lips please go and give this a try, you could be surprised! I will for sure be wearing this all through autumn... when it gets here!

I hope you all enjoyed this and I will see you again soon with my next post! Please comment, share and follow that would be super cool I love you guys so so much! Love Juliette x

♡D.I.Y salt spray♡

aloha everybody! So have you ever wanted to recreate those beautiful beachy waves you get after you have been in the sea? Well, that's what salt spray is for.

You will need:
♡ an empty spray bottle
♡ 1 cup warm water
♡ 1tbs sea salt
♡ 1tsp coconut oil
♡ 1tsp hair gel

Okay this is so simple, all you do is pour all this in the spray bottle, give it a mix and shake it like there is no tomorrow!
 

Sorry for such a short post I have just been so busy, love you all please comment, share and subscribe! Lots of love, Juliette x

♡palm tree nail design♡

Hellooo!!! So summer is coming up and that means summer nails and being cool like that so I am going to show you can be of my favorite designs. For the palm trees in this I would recommend trying it on a piece of paper first so you get the sizes of the lines right.

Step 1
Paint all your nails with a base coat as normal then paint them all white like or I did or any color you like other than black. I would say nothing to dark unless you do the palm tree is n white with dark nails which would be totally cool!

Step 2
On your ring finger, paint a line with a slight curve in another color going from the cuticle to a bit below the tip of your nail. You can only really do this properly if you have a striper (not a stripper, you only make that spelling mistake once!) or you can cut the brush of the polish you are using down to size, there are tutorials for that on YouTube.

Step 3
Out of the top of this line, paint two thicker slightly curved lines one going to the left, one to the right, these will be the palm leaves.

Step 4
On top of that paint two smaller lines exactly the same.

Step 5
Finnish with a top coat and you are done!

Have a good day! Thanks for reading, it would be great if you could comment, share and follow! Lots of love, Juliette x

♡collective haul- a colab with pastelblast!♡

Hi everyone! I am super excited for this post because it is my first colab! Its with a blogger who I love called Pastelblast, she is also doing a collective haul and her info will be at the end of this post, check her out and show her some love she's amazing! so right in with this haul, I have been collecting this over under a month but its mostly things I will need for summer, I hope you enjoy! all the links for the products will be in there encase you want to check them out.

Clothes/accessories

♡ okay so the first things I got are from boohoo and the first thing is this beautiful royal blue petite Roseanna colour pop skater skirt for £8 I have wanted a skirt like this for ages and I finally got one so yay!
♡ also from boohoo I got the Kerry strap detail skater dress in a ballet pink colour for £10 down from £12, it has this cool strap detailing and is so simple but cute.
♡ I then bought this adorable crop top from Select that has a similar back detailing to the boohoo dress, and I annoyingly cant find it in the website. but it was £6 and its an ivory colour with a floaty layer thing over the top, hopefully you can tell by the picture.
♡ in Primark I got the most gorgeous blue flounce frill playsuit with intricate white patterns for £7.
♡ a while back I got this awesome coral cropped muscle top that says "mermaids have more fun" on it with this torn back to it and I don't remember how much it was and I cant find it on the site but it was probably around £5.

♡ annoyingly I also cant find these on the site but if you look at the bottom of the picture below you can see them, they are these pretty sandals with daises on and I have been looking for a pair like this for ages and they were only £6
♡ I needed some flip-flops so I got these coral Aztec patterned ones for £1.50.
♡ and then from Debenhams I got this beautiful red tropical floral bandeau swimsuit but its actually pink and its fits to well and is so flattering I just love it and the best part is right now its on sale from £19.50 to £14.88. I most defiantly recommend Debenhams for swimwear go have a look.
♡ okay, so this is the purchase I am most happy about, so sunglasses just don't suit me but in Debenhams I found these gorgeous Red Herring black and gold sunglasses and oh my goodness I am so so so in love plus they were also on sale for £12.80 down from £16! 

 

 

Makeup/Beauty

♡ I first went to Boots and picked up Maybelline great lash waterproof mascara for £4.99 because summers coming and summer means water fights, and I don't wanna look like a panda when someone throws a bucket of water over me!
♡ and for the same panda reason as before I bought Rimmel waterproof exaggerate eyeliner for £5.29 on a 3-for-2 offer with the next two products I am going to mention.
♡ I kind of messed up with this one but I bought the Rimmel professional brow pencil for £2.99 and I guess its good but I bought it in 001dark brown and it is still too light for me but I still use the spoolie on the end.
♡ so this was the one I got for free on the deal, its the Rimmel Rita Ora nail polish in the colour port-a-loo-blue which would normally be £2.99.
♡ I then got two more nail polishes both Rimmel 60 seconds super shine nail polish in the colour Danny boy blue and lovey dovey which were be £2.99 each.
♡ last for makeup I went to Superdrug and picked up the Lottie London powder, powder brush they are a new brand and I wanted to try them out plush I needed a new powder brush and I absolutely love it and the colour is so cute, so worth the £7.99!

 

Other stuff

♡ how could I possibly go on a shopping trip and not go to Lush? so the first thing I got there, my friend really kindly bought me because she knows I love it, the comforter bubble bar its just such a delicious, fruity smell and bubble bars are like my favourite thing from Lush. these are £4.75.
♡ I then bought the small d'fluff shaving soap for £5.75 and I have been looking for this for absolutely ages! so happy I've finally found it.
♡ I also really needed a new body butter and my favourite are from The Body Shop so I got pink grapefruit body butter on a sale for only £5 down from £13. like what?!?
♡ and the last thing I got was from a Clintons we have here and its the sweet strawberry sample for £1.80 and oh.. my gosh it smells delicious!

♡my skincare routine♡

Heya! Okay so today I wanted to share with you my skincare routine because I have notices my skin has become so much clearer and easy to work with. Before I start, as you probably know people have different skin so before you buy the exact products I use remember that and test around with products and brands that work for you and you trust. As you will be able to tell, I mostly use Simple and Neutrogena. The last thing you want is spending money on something that doesn't work.

In the morning

As soon as I roll out of bed I go and wash my face using the Neutrogena visibly clear pink grapefruit face wash, it straight away brightens up my skin and makes it look clearer, plus because I use cold water I feel so awake after which is helpful especially when I am feeling particularly sloth like.
If I know I am just going to be at home all day with no makeup on then I will apply my Simple spotless skin rapid action spot zapper on any spots and keep applying this throughout the day and this is what I think has saved my skin the most.
If I don't use the spot zapper I will take a cotton pad and splash some Simple kind to skin soothing facial toner on and wipe it all over my face.
And whether I am using makeup or not I will always rub in some Simple kind to skin protecting light moisturizer, it softens and moisturizes so well and is a great base for makeup. It also has SPF 15 which is always good. Woo no sunburn YAY!

In the evening

Usually I will shower at night to save time the next morning but if I shower in the morning I do this same thing.
Everyday I will use my Simple kind to skin refreshing facial wash gel in the shower, it kind of gives my skin a little nudge of encouragement in the right direction. Which is great!
if my skin is being particularly icky I will use my Neutrogena visibly clear 2 in 1 wash and face mask. This is so cool because you can use it as a normal face wash or do what I do and leave it on in a thick coat for 5 minuets. you can really feel it working and the results are brilliant!

At night

to give my skin a nice little helping hand in repairing as I sleep, I like to put on products before I get into bed.
WOOHOO a new brand! The Gorgeous facial moisturizer by lush is so amazing, you can see it calming redness in my skin and it feels beautiful. I almost feel like I am wearing a face mask when I use it, in a good way.
Because I am a bad child I have got scars from when I didn't know what to do with spots and kind of went a bit crazy. As easy as it is to cover with makeup I am still using Bio Oil to sort my scars out and I can see the difference dramatically. You only need a small amount to massage into the area its needed before the results start tot show.
Although I use the Simple spot zapper sometimes in the day, I will also use it at night on any spots I have because again it is brilliant.
Because my skin has cleared so much I don't really need to use this, but the Neutrogena visibly clear rapid treatment is what I use on any angry spots that need some extra attention.

I hope this was a helpful post and I cant wait to talk to you again soon. It would be great for you to comment, share and subscribe. Thank you so much, sending you love, Juliette x

♡the classic makeup look♡

Hello you gorgeous people! Okay well the other day someone asked me what I think of when someone says the word makeup, which got me thinking, what do I think of when someone says makeup? And the answer is the whole 1950's pin up girl, Marilyn Monroe kinda thing. Its the whole red lip classic (thing that you like!) look with the thick winged eyeliner that is just so classy. Comment what the word makeup reminds you of or your favourite iconic look.

1. Start off by moisturizing your face and using any primers or pore minimizers that you usually use to set the base for your makeup.

2. Ladies in the 50's seemed to always to have effortlessly flawless, matte skin so cover your face in any foundation but a matte one would be better to create a more authentic look, remembering to blend down the neck. You can skip this part or replace with BB cream if you don't like to wear foundation.

3. If your foundation didn't fully cover any dark circles or blemishes that you want to cover then apply a concealer without caking it on.

4. Use a very natural looking pinky blush, smile and apply it to your cheeks for a natural rosy look. Follow this with a matte powder to complete your face makeup.

5. Before using any eyeshadow, prime your eyelids first for a better result then using a white shimmering eyeshadow cover your eyelid.

6. Taking a black eyeliner, draw a slick across your eye, getting thicker towards the outside and finishing with a big flick.

7. With a dark lengthening mascara coat your lashes to create doll eyes or use fake lashes.

8. Dont forget to fill and shape your brows, a brow snap that I think suits this look perfectly is very full, with a detonate arch.

9. To complete the look, take a classic red lipstick and leave on its own or coat with a lip gloss.

So that's the completed look I hope you enjoyed this post. I would love it for you to comment, share and follow. Thanks for reading, love and kisses, Juliette x
