Zoella Beauty review | TeilzC


Recently I was given a few things from Zoe Suggs new beauty and bath collection from my lovely Andrew as I was feeling a little down in the dumps. It was the most perfect surprise; can't beat a good bath when you're not feeling the best. As you can see from the photo I got the fizz bar and the blissful mistful body mist. 

First impressions: The packaging is just beautiful, what more can I say? It's so girly and the detailing is just too cute. The pop of pink just adds something extra- it draws you in. I have always thought packaging is very important if you are trying to bring out new products and Zoe has done an excellent job! 

Blissful Mistful: This is the perfect size to throw in my handbag, doesn't take up too much room yet you don't have to rummage through everything to find it. The scent itself isn't what I was expecting, I was thinking of a very fruity and quite strong scent targeted towards a slightly younger person but boy was I wrong? It is a light floral scent, not too overpowering- it's just lovely. I also like that it is in a perfume bottle as usually with body mists I could just carry on spraying until everyone around me is choking on it but with this a couple of sprays does the trick.

Fizz Bar: I've used this twice now and both times my skin has felt so so soft afterwards! This is a fizz bar so just like a bath bomb it doesn't create bubbles it only makes your skin feel and smell lovely. It has the same scent as the body mist and makes the whole bathroom smell divine. What is great about this is you only need one or two square per bath so can be used 4-8 times which is brilliant! One tip I'll give you is to break the squares over the bath, first time I used this I had tiny pieces of fizz bar all over the bathroom floor but overall a fantastic product. 

We'll done Zoe! 

What do you guys think of the products?

Rainy day - FOTD & OOTD | TeilzC

So the weather hasn't been all that great lately, Autumn is finally here!  I wasn't planning on doing very much today as I have been non-stop the past few weeks; needed a chilled out day. 

Make up: 
Foundation: Revlon photoready 002 vanilla
Concealer- Soap and Glory kick ass concealer in light
Contour- Bobbi Brown bronzer in golden light
Eyes- naked basics palette: naked 2 all over the lid and a touch of faint in the crease, benefit they're real push up liner and maybelline the colossal mascara.
Lips- Avon lipstix in brick red
Eyebrows- faint eyeshadow from naked basics palette

I didn't bother with a few things like powder and blush as my skin has been so dry lately that it's making my skin look quite flaky if i use powder. The joys of the changing seasons!


Outfit:

Honestly nothing special about my outfit, if i owned a onesie or a pair of joggers they would have been my first pick but unfortunately for me, leggings are the best option. I paired this with a black strap top to ensure my bottom half is covered as leggings are not trousers! I can't stress this enough, the amount of underwear I have seen while shopping is ridiculous. It's not cute girls! For a pop of colour I chose this lovely stretch material red peplum top, cute and comfortable. As it is quite chilly I ended up throwing on a black cardigan too. 

Leggings- New Look
Strap top- Primark
Peplum top- New Look
Cardigan - H&M

And my slippers are from primark haha- they are a must for this time of year! 

What do you wear on lazy rainy days?

Perfect Autumn/Fall Nude Lip | TeilzC

Hi guys :)

Recently I purchased Boldly Bare lip pencil by MAC (which you will see in my September haul here). Over the past few weeks it has become a staple in my make up bag; wondering how I ever lived without it!

Lets get started:

First of all I take my boldly bare lip pencil and line my lips then fill them in

Apply Peach Blossum lipstick by Mac this is a Cremesheen so it is rather glossy and easy to apply


Then finally take the Barry M lipgloss in what i believe is toffee (i cant see it anywhere on the tube!) and apply that all over the lips. Tip: if you want your lips to appear fuller just apply this to the middle of the lips. 


& we're done, as easy as that! This is partially Kylie Jenner inspired, going for a slightly darker nude. If you have a darker skin tone than myself. Mac whirl lip liner is the exact colour Kylie uses. Unfortunately for me being very pale it is just far too dark for me. 

Swatches:



Thanks for reading, what's your favourite lipstick for this time of year?

As i've been so good over the past few months making sure I would have enough money for my holiday, I thought now that I am back I deserve a shopping spree!
