WishList #1

Hey guys,

This is my first wish list in my new series. These are everything I am after buying or is on my Christmas list. Most of them are pretty basic that I will buy for myself when I have more money.



1) Maybelline colour tattoo leather effect in Creamy Beige - I've recently heard a few YouTube's talk about this product and pacifically the shade. 

2) Tanya Burr Individual lashes. I've never tried individual lashes as I can't apply any type of lashes but individuals seems so much easier and I'm excited to try them out. 

3) Pandora statement sparkling ring- I'm a huge fan of Pandora there so elegant and beautiful and I've had my eye on this gorgeous ring for ages. But at a pricy £90 I'll have to wait for a special birthday maybe. 

4) Daniel Wellington Classic Sheffield Lady Watch- I'm super picky about watches as I have the big chunky manish watches, they don't suit my wrist. I've seen a few people talk about these gorgeous dainty watches by Daniel Wellington. There just the perfect classics. But at the price of about £120 I will have to wait to receive it as a present, I hope;)

5) Soap and Glory Archery- If you watch Lily Pebbles on youtube then you know about the Soap and Glory archery Brow Tint and Precision Pencil. Its said to be a dupe of the Anastasia brow wiz.

 

6) Lovely Trinket Tray- I want something pretty to place my everyday jewellery on and this is perfect and so cute. It will also be nice to take photos on for blog posts.

7) Vera Wang Princess Perfume- This is my favourite perfume ever! I've already had one bottle but my god its heavenly, but rather expensive.

8) Barry M natural palette- When it comes to eyeshadow I only wear natural golden shades and been looking for a cheap palate and this one from Barry M looks so pretty.

9) Lush 'Blue skies and fluffy white clouds' bubble bar-  I love Lush products and this is just one of there bubble bars that I want to try because it turns the water into a sky blue colour.

10) Topshop glow highlighter- There aren't many budget highlighters that are well known and loved but seen this one from Topshop get talked about in the blogger world I need to try it out to get that perfect glow.

11) Real Technique powder brush- Real technique are my favourite make-up brushes, im trying to collect all of them starting with the brushes I use the most so for my next brush I want its the powder brush for my face powder.

Review: Soap and Glory Supercat Eyeliner Pen

Hey guys, 

I've had trouble since I first got into make up about two years ago on trying to find the perfect liquid eyeliner. After discovering I prefer a pen liner as they are so much easier to apply as I'm still learning to get that 'perfect wing'.

I think I was watching on of Lily Pebbles youtube videos when she used the Soap and Glory Supercat eyeliner I knew it would be perfect for me. I HAD TO GET MY HANDS ON IT! 

After scoping it out in my local boots, for the price of  £6 so affordable, I was so excited to get my glam on and try it out. It was perfect straight away. I've been using it for about a month now and still bloody love it. It's so easy and the perfect nib size to get a winged look. 

I highly recommend it for those on a budget and still getting the hang of winged liner. I will be repurchasing this product for definite.

Review: Maybelline Colour Tattoo

Hey guys,

Recently after finally caving in I got my first Maybelline Colour Tattoo, I got the shade On and On Bronze. It's a bronze gold shaded cream eyeshadow. And it is perfect!

I am wearing it in the photo below. Its very buildable. All I have done is placed it on the outer corners of my eyes blending it inwards, this look is suttle and bronzed. I then applied my Maybelline the falsies mascara.





Its a great look with a bold lip and natural lip.

My weekend post #1

Hey guys,

So this weekend was busy so I took some photos along and decided to turn it into a blog post. 

Saturday- 4/10/14

Firstly on Saturday Anthony and myself went to Meadowhall shopping centre as we both needed some things.

 This photo is off my super drug bag whilst waiting for Anthony in the changing rooms. Rimmel London had an offer on if you spend over £10 you got a free Rimmel mascara, which I had been wanting to try for ages. So I Bought 2 things that have been on my wish list for ages and that is the Wake Me Up concealor in shade Ivory. The send is the Kate Moss matte lipstick in shade 170, which is a berry colour. If you watch Zoella on YouTube you'll know she is obsessed with this lipstick.

For tea we wanted to try somewhere new, and craving a burger we went to Handmade burger co.

Firstly the menu was confusing to understand and secondly after ordering it took 35 minutes to arrive (as there handmade), which when your hungry that's a long time!

I ordered a plain burger and peri peri chips. The portains were good, the chips were yummy but too spicy for me and the burger to me was average. But Anthony loved his burger saying it's the best he's had and defiantly wanted to go back for more.

I forgot and started eating before taking a photo, oops.

For the rest of the night we just layed in front of the TV watching  Doctor Who.

Sunday- 5/10/14

I started my Sunday morning with a molteasers hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows, it was so yummy! 

After getting ready for our day we headed to our first destination. If you didn't know I do photography at college and today I was doing my shoot of landscape and architecture. Our first destination was a country park. They have beautiful woodlands and amazing architecture. These are some ofwhat Anthony took whilst I was shooting.

With Anthony working throughout the week we like to have quality time together. I had a lovely weekend, thank you Anthony!

Review: Tanya Burr Lipgloss

Hey guys,

So for a while I've wanted to try her lip glosses out as all the youtubers rave about them. I finally picked up 'Afternoon tea' which is one of Tanyas favourite, that she always talks about in her videos! Its a nude pink gloss. Personally i dont like lip gloses as there to shiny and sticky.

After trying this i find them not sticky in the slightest. I wear this gloss over the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in shade 08 to add a shine. It also makes my lips appear fuller.

Review: Loreal True Match Foundation

Heys guys,

So this post is a review on the Loreal True Match foundation. I've heard loads of youtubers rave about this product such as Gabby from velvetgh0st and just had to get my hands on it. I finally gave in to temptation and bought it for £9.99 from boots. I was unsure of the shade i was as they have so many, so i had to get help in the end and the women said my match was shade N1.

LOreal True Match Foundation

I wasn't sure about this foundation at first as it made my skin dry but using a rich moisturiser before seems to sort that problem. When wearing this foundation i felt like it didn't cover anything up and kind of just sunk invisible into my skin.

I've trailed this foundation for about a month now and it has grew on me but its defiantly i light coverage foundation, perfect for summer! I apply this foundation using the real techniques expert face brush to blend it in.

My Week #3

Hey guys,

So I know its been a while since I did a My Week post but I am back as this week was my boyfriend, Anthonys 20th birthday.

1) He's a typical guy and doesn't want a big fuss so meals it was. He always takes me out for meals so the day before his birthday I took him out for tea.

2) I ordered a new Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in shade 03 from amazon which arrived during the week. Usually the cost is £5.49 but i found it for just £3.50. It is a nude shade, recommened by Velvetgh0st

3) The next 4 photos are from his actually birthday. These are my favourite photos from the night. His cake was made by his sister (https://www.facebook.com/Lolliesgreatbakes). We went for a meal with his family to Frankie and Bennies, if your not aware its an Italian, although it is one of my favourite
 restaurants it is rather expensive.

I also vlogged this week, that will be up on my channel mid next week. Subscribe-My channel- ashleyjaynecookie

Little Haul

Hey guys,

Heres a little haul of recent purchases and re-purchases. Theres beauty and randoms!

Firstly is a repurchase and by far my favourite foundation that is Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. When I first bought this product I had a tan so I used the shade True Ivory, but now im using Ivory which is perfect for my skin colour. 

For me this foundation is perfect as I have dry skin and this foundation has radiant glow. 

As Rimmel had buy 1 and get the 2nd half price offer I got the exaggerate waterproof pencil eyeliner. It has a smudger on the other end aswell, its creamy and just perfect for the upper last line. This awkward pencil is not photogenic!

I've been wanting to try the MUA lipsticks for ages. People say there good and only £1. I like the packaging of these lipsticks and that they show the colours of the lipstick at the bottom. I got shades 03 (top) and 13 (bottom).

This was actually a present from my boyfriend for no reason. I had wanted a new cup for ages and this one is perfect for me because i love despicable me. 

I love the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks and when Velvetgh0st from youtube recommened this one as 'the perfect nude' I had to get it. And she was right it is perfect I love it.

Review: Garnier Moisture Match- Dry to Very Dry Skin

Hey guys,

This blog post is all about the Garnier moisture match dry to very dry skin. I have been uding this product for over 3 weeks now and this post is based on my opinions. I had tried a tester from a magazine i loved it just after that one use.

I had been after a moistures for dry skin for ages and when i noticed it was on offer for only £2.99 in boots when the originally price is £5.99 it was the perfect opportunity to buy it. We all love a good bargain, right?

Only recently i have noticed that my T zone has become dry and flakey especially when wearing foundation makes it so much worse, even using hydrating foundations.

When applying you really dont need much, a little really does go a long way. It claims to be quick absorbing but honestly i have to wait a few minutes to apply my make-up. It says to be tailor made for 24 hours moisture, which I would agree with! 

It stops my flakey skin and will help keep it moistured all day long. And bonus it smells lovely!

Summer Playlist

Hey Guys,

Whilst I write this summer playlist its actually raining outside. These are the songs I have been loving this summer and get me in the summer mood. Each song is linked to the official youtube videos! The perfect summer song has to be upbeat and instantly up your mood I think, that's why these are perfect;

Firstly I have loved Cheryl Cole- Crazy Stupid Love. Its the perfect dance number, it suddenly makes me feel better and happier.

Another favourite is Nicole Scherzinger- Your Love. I have the biggest girl crush on Nicole! But this song, everything about it is perfect.

I asked my boyfriend his favourite song of this summer and it is MAGIC!- Rude . His reason for liking the this song is because of the lyrics, they tell a story. I must admit I really like this song too.

Make-Up Haul

Hey Guys,

So yesterday, Saturday, my lovely boyfriend took us to Meadowhall shopping mall in Sheffield. Mainly because he needed some new clothes. But because of how amazing he is he treated me to a few Make-up products. Overall I'm a lucky lucky girl!

I got the Loreal True Match Foundation, I had been eyeing this product up for about 2 months now! I read reviews and watched youtubers rave about it. My only problem was how small the bottle was. The price of this was £9.99. I had to get help from staff on the shade I needed, in the end I got N1 Ivory. 

Even since I started watching youtubers, I have wanted a Real Techniques make up brush especially the expert face brush that is mainly for liquid and cream foundations and that the one I choose for my first. I haven't tried it out but it will most defiantly be mentioned in future posts. This cost £9.99.

To say MUA is only £1.00 for a blusher I have never bought one but heard they are pretty good for what there worth! This is in the shade Bon Bon, to me that sounds like french sweets! Its a pretty pinky/ peach shade, but the photo makes it almost look baby pink. 

Thank you to Anthony for buying me these things!
