Favourite makeup products

This post is going to be about my top makeup products. I thought that, I only use a few products on a daily basis and I thought I'd write a blog post about them...

The first one is my favourite liquid foundation which is 17 Miracle Matte foundation in soft ivory. I like this foundation because it is the perfect colour for my skin tone and doesn't feel 'heavy' on my skin. I apply it with a big powder brush as the foundation brush in my brush set doesn't do a very good job because it doesn't rub it in it just puts it on my skin and there are lines so I prefer a powder brush.

 This is my favourite powder foundation. Sometimes, I don't feel like wearing my liquid foundation for various reasons and I wear this if my skin doesn't look too good because I like to think that I have quite good skin and I only get bad spots when I don't clean my face properly and that isn't too often.  I dont tend to go out to events, just school and seeing friends so I don't wear much makeup any way.

 My favourite eye shadow product is MUA Heaven and Earth eye shadow palette. It is a primarily brown palette but with a couple of pale colours. I like this palette because my eyes are a greyish/blue colour and the browns bring out the colour better. They are also good to wear everyday and I can wear the paler colours to school as we aren't allowed to wear much make up to school. I sometimes go for adventurous colours like bright blue and purple but sometimes I just play safe with these browns.

My favourite pencil eyeliner is Rimmel London Scandaleyes waterproof kohl kajal eyeliner in 001 black. I like this eyeliner because it won't come off until you use makeup remover because it is amazing, the only bad thing about this is if you go wrong you cant get it off and have to adapt the eyeliner to look nice. I'm not too good at putting pencil liner on so I usually go wrong and then get mad at myself.

This is my favourite liquid eyeliner. It is Collection 2000 extreme 24 hour felt tip liner in 1 Black. I love this eyeliner because it goes on very easily and I am better at putting liquid eyeliner on than pencil but I'm not amazing at it so I like an eyeliner that goes on well. I do use this eyeliner a lot but a couple of times I have worn it , it came off when i rubbed my eye when it says 'extreme 24 hour' so that disappointed me a little, but I still love it. 

My favourite mascara is Collection 2000 Skylash in 1 Black. I love this mascara because it gives my lashes really good coverage and isn't clumpy. I like the wand because it is plastic and has a funny shape which puts the mascara on really well.

The first lipstick is MAC Mattene lipstick in Poise. This is quite an old lipstick but it is still really nice.  It is a matte pale pink colour which is really nice and I can get away with it for school because it isnt too bright. It keeps my lips hydrated and smooth, I wear this one a lot.

This is the final product. It is Rimmel London's Moisture renew lipstick on 620 coral queen. This lipstick is right up my street because it is a bit orangey and I like wearing oranges on my lips. It also has pinky tones in it aswell so thats cool. It is really soft and smooth on the lips and gives good colour.

Favourite YouTubers

Hello there to anyone that is reading my new blog and welcome, I hope you like my blogs. This one's is a bit long.

This blog is going to be about my obsession with YouTube. I always end up watching YouTube videos late into the night, but the thing is, I always watch the same few YouTubers all the time and I have watched most of them at least once but the accounts I watch are funny and interesting and I see or laugh at something new each time. This blog post could have been much longer but I decided that I'd cut it down to my top two girls and top two boys:)

The first YouTuber I'm going to explain my love for is Zoe from Zoella280390. I just love all of her videos. She makes beauty and fashion videos such as 'What's in my bag' and 'Hauls'. I like watching the haul videos because she often does Primark hauls and,as Primark doesn't have a website, it allows her viewers  to see what Primark has in store at a certain time of the year. One of Zoe's hauls provoked me to go to Primark and TopShop to buy some items as she showed them on one of her videos and rated them highly.

Zoe also has a vlog channel called 'MoreZoella'. This channel features vlogs (video blogs) on certain, interesting and funny days in her life. Often, they feature my other favourite YouTubers as she is good friends with them and when they 'get together' they make the funniest videos.

The next YouTuber is Louise from SprinkleOfGlitter. Like Zoe, she does some beauty videos but she also does lifestyle and family videos as she has a baby girl that features in her videos sometimes. Her opening line is “Aloha Sprinklerinos” which I think is very clever and it’s a fun way to introduce her videos. Her videos can often be hilarious and I have watched many of her videos numerous times and whenever I am not feeling so cheery, her videos cheer me up. Louise also does quite a few videos with Zoe as they are the closest of friends and in the videos they do together, the bloopers they get are sooo funny and they often add them in at the end of the video for their viewers to have a bit of a giggle at and show their real personalities because sometimes in videos you can't show the full extent of your personality because the video limits you to what you talk about but with bloopers and vlogs you can express your true personality as you want people to like you for who you are and not for anything else.

The next YouTuber I’m going to rave about it Alfie from PointlessBlog. Alfie makes ‘tag’ videos, that’s the only way I can describe them and videos on random topics. His videos include ‘Truth or Dare’, ‘The friendship tag’ and ‘Ask PointlessBlog’. His videos are sometimes funny and sometimes serious but enjoyable all the same. I like him because his videos are entertaining and sometimes interactive such as his recent Christmas one where at the end there was four different coloured presents and when you clicked on one, it sent you to another Christmassy themed video as like a Christmas present to his viewers, I don’t know if it’s just me but I think that’s quite cool. He has an opening line, like Louise which is “What’s up guys?” and he spreads his hands out either side of his face which I think is a cool touch. 
He has a vlogging channel called 'PointlessBlogTv' which has vlogs of his life on. They often contain footage of Zoe, Louise and Marcus (next YouTuber I'm going to talk about) which makes them funny as they always get up to weird stuff and mess around having fun.

Marcus Butler from MarcusButlerTv is another of my favourite YouTubers. He does videos similar to Alfie. He always starts his videos with “Heeeellloooooooooo” what is quite amusing and ends with a “byyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee” in the same tone of voice which I like as it gives the video a bit of symmetry, this might just be me being a bit geeky but oh well. Marcus often does collaborations and his ones with Alfie are the funniest as they get on like a house on fire and have lots of inside jokes. 'The Friendship Tag' <-- this video is the friendship tag video they did and it explains one or maybe two of their inside jokes and shows just how well they get on. I’m going to admit I do think that they are both good looking;) 

If you are looking for something else to do other than scrolling through Facebook and/or Twitter watch these guys on YouTube becasue in my opinion, they are some of the best videos I have found on YouTube, so far.

That is the end of this particular blog. I have a few ideas of what else I can blog about such as make up reviews and other beauty related stuff. Please comment and tell me what you think xxx
