Mood: Tired 

Listening to: Rita Ora- I Will Never Let You Down

Hey beautiful bloggers!

I feel like I haven't posted a proper beauty post in such a long time, so I thought I'd share some beauty products I've bought recently. I've only chosen five products because I've been on a spending ban for a while because I've been saving to go to London at the end of this month for a Hen Night. Most of my items are lip products, so I do apologise if your fed up of looking at lipsticks!

New Products

 1. Benefit's Watt's Up Highlighter! 

I absolutely adore this product, it genuinely makes your face glow when it catches the light (in a good way, obviously.) It is a bit pricey at £24 but it is one of my favourite highlighters. Its elegant champagne colour is perfect for any skin tone, and adds a touch of glamour to any make up look. Well done Benefit.

2. Topshop's Waterproof Eyeliner in Ebony

After what feels like years searching for a cheaper version of Urban Decay's 24/7 eyeliner, I think I've found it. Topshop's waterprof liners are really an amazing product and are a steal at only £5. I chose the colour Ebony as I wanted a pure black eyeliner but they also do another colour called Gunpowder, which is a sleek grey colour, perfect if you find black too harsh.

3. Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Matte Lipstick in Frambourjoise

I must admit, the first time I tried this product on I was unsure whether I loved it or hated it but I gave it another chance and I really enjoy using it now. The first time I used it was during the day and I'm not one who usually uses such a bold colour in the day but I wore it out in the evening the second time and I much preferred it. The colour is very long lasting and has a wonderful matte finish. It's perfect for a night out because your not constantly topping up your lipstick throughout the night and stains your lips so it doesn't smudge.

4 + 5. Topshop Lipsticks in Brighton Rock and Ditsy

You don't know how long I've been meaning to buy these lipsticks and now I finally have them! They cost £8 each and I absolutely love both colours and they're perfect for summer. Brighton Rock is a stunning satin matte pink and Ditsy is a gorgeous velvet matte finished hot coral colour. They both apply well and have great colour pay off. I cannot wait until summer to wear them.

Well those are my recent beauty products, but I thought I might add in a bag I bought yesterday just to finish off the post. The bag is from Matalan and cost £12, I bought it for daytime shopping and it would look perfect with so many outfits.

I hope you've all had a great week, and let me know if you've bought any great products recently.

Love from Bethan

Liebster Award

Mood: Proud

Listening to: Ellie Goulding- Halcyon 

Hello beautiful bloggers!

So I was recently tagged for the Liebster Award by Cassandra (check out her page) and it never even crossed my mind that I would get nominated! 

The Liebster Award is a way to show people other blogs with less than two hundred followers. It's a great way to get recognised because there are so many great blogs out there that deserve to be seen!

The questions that were left for me

001. What is your favourite part about blogging? 

I find blogging very therapeutic. I love coming home from work and sitting down to read through different posts because I love finding new beauty products. Blogging is a great way to read reviews to help you find those perfect beauty items.

002. What’s a TV show you could watch over and over again and not get tired of?

This answer is probably really cliché but I have to say Friends. I don't watch much TV but guaranteed if I do Friends will be on. 

  003. Must have skincare product.

I cannot live without moisturiser, at the moment I'm using Liz Earle's Skin Repair Moisturiser for Normal/Combination skin. I love it! (This was really difficult to chose because I also can't live without Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish.)

004. Do you have any pets?

I do, I have an adorable cat named Biggles. My sister also has a Bichon Frise named Hugo that I always look after so I consider him to be a pet too.

005. What is your favourite nail polish colour?

It has to be Pink Silver Glitter by BarryM. It's gorgeous paired with other nail polishes or a great stand alone colour. It's a glitter polish and it really catches your eye plus it's nicer than your average nude/pink.

006. What is your most played song on iTunes?

My most played song is "N***A's in Paris by JAY-Z & Kanye West (played 51 times). I must admit I love most types of music but I can't resist a bit of Kanye West.

007. What are your 3 go to makeup items?

Number one would have to be the Benefit's Hello Flawless foundation. I've recently re-started to use this foundation again and I can't remember why I switched over because it's such a good foundation on me. Number two would be another Benefit item, the They're Real mascara. I've bought this over and over again. I must have bought it at least six times now, it's so good! And lastly I would say my MAC blusher in 'Dainty' it's such a pretty colour and it's the blush I used at my sisters wedding, so it's quite special to me.

008. Name your favourite perfume.

I have two favourite perfumes one I've used for years and I can only find online now, and that is 'Still' by J.lo. It's such a light and clean perfume. It has light floral notes with a slight citrus scent to it, it's really delicate and everyone compliments it when I do wear it. My other favourite is the popular 'Lady Million' by Paco Rabanne. It's very feminine and has a floral scent with high notes of orange flower and raspberry.

009. What lipstick (or any other lip colour) did you wear yesterday?

I don't like wearing a bright lipstick to work so yesterday I just used my Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me. It gives a slight red tinge to my lips whilst keeping them soft.

010. Favourite place to shop online?

For beauty products I would have to say Boots, I have an advantage card there so I can earn points whilst buying what I want. As for clothes I don't really buy online, I prefer to shop in person.

011. What’s your dream holiday destination?

My dream holiday destination would have to be Italy, I've never been before and I love travelling to different cities. I'm not a huge sun and beach type of girl, although I do enjoy being in the sun I can't just sit in it all day because of boredom. Shopping in the city and then relaxing in the hotel pool sounds more appealing to me.

Too much?

Mood: Energized 

Listening to: Fuse ODG ft Wyclef Jean- Antenna

Hello again bloggers...

I know in my last post I said I'd write again soon, but I didn't think it would be this soon but I got excited because I changed the design of my blog and I'm very pleased with myself because I'm no expert. I used my favourite colours obviously, and I think it looks very cute.

I've been drinking a lime daiquiri (very adventurous for a Wednesday evening) and I've sorted out my make-up bag which needed a good clean. I really want to buy a new make up bag, so any recommendations for a pretty, decent size bags are welcome.

Anyway I better get some beauty sleep, otherwise I will have lovely bags under my eyes tomorrow and will look like a panda's twin sister.

A new blog

Mood: Excited

Listening to: Nicki Minaj- Starships (Don't judge me)

Hello there bloggers!

Okay, so this isn't my first blog but I basically let my other one die so I've decided start afresh (here's to new beginnings.) In my new blog you will be able to read about my life, beauty products, reviews and lots of other miscellaneous things I like to ramble about. 

I've just realised I've not introduced myself at all. What a fantastic start, but better late than never eh? Let's begin with my name that's always a good start. My name is Bethan and I live in a small country in the UK called Wales. I was born to a lady named Gillian and a man named Michael twenty years ago on an early December morning. I have an older brother named Mathew and two big sisters called Rhian and Rebeca which makes me the baby of my amazing family. 

To start off my first post I shall post five random facts about myself so you can know me a little better, so here goes nothing...

1. My favourite colours are pink and mint.

2. I have a weak spot for floral patterns *cough*Cath Kidston*cough*

3. My birthday is the twenty-third of December. 

4. I don't like milk in my tea.

5. Butterflies creep me out.

OK, so I feel like you know me a little better now so I'm going to love you and leave you and I'll be back very soon with another post. If you would like some more updates, check out my Twitter account
