YouTube Announcement

Hello my lovelies!

Firstly I just want to get one thing out of the way with - I'm very sorry that I have not been uploading new posts! I've been so busy but that's no excuse! 

Ok so I came on here to give you a bit of an announcement, as with the blog and everything, I wanted to go a bit further... And take it with a YouTube Channel- Me and my very good friend Kirsty have watched YouTube videos for absaloutely ages, I didn't know she watched them until we really got to speak and interact over Twitter etc. We have always thought to ourself how cool it would be to make a Channel of our own. So we both agreed on it and sat down infront of a camera and done what we've always wanted.

We have so many inspirations on YouTube | Zoella, PointlessBlog, CasparLee, MarcusButler, SprinkleOfGlitter.. I can go on but you get the jist. 

As soon as we agreed on making our channel.. the pens and paper came out with ideas for the Channel name and video ideas etc.  We decided to call the channel BeautyObsessors. As soon as Kirsty knew I had a blog called the same thing, she thought we can carry on from that! We are/was so nervous and excited for our channel to be made because we've never sat down infront of a camera before and spoke about what we love and upload it to a YouTube where so many people can see it. This is the first video we done, I just want to point out we are no experts making videos nor editing. It has a watermark at the beginning for about 1 minute then it goes, again no expert.

5 hours later filming editing and uploading... this happened.

If your interested in watching it, it'll be great if you could like comment and subscribe-
Mine and Kirstys information is in the downbar of the video also.

Thankyou so much :-)

Bourjois Color Boost Lip stain


Hello lovelies!

Bourjois Color Boost- 03 Orange Punch
Now these have been out quite a while and I don't even know why I've ONLY just gone and got myself one! So I saw these on Zoe's video (zoella, which I'm sure you've all heard of her)
and I really wanted to try them because everyone was raving about them! So I jumped out of the band-wagon and got one. 

 It glides on your lips like butter, not that anyone would want to smother their lips in butter but you get the picture. It blends beautifully into your lips with a vibrant glossy shine and sinks in like a balm and stays put for '10 hours' although mine only lasts about 4, but it doesn't bother me topping it up!

The packaging of these looks the same as Revlon Just bitten kissable lip stains and the Clinique Chubby sticks, which I really like. The crayon shape makes the application hassle free and you can easily use one of these without using a mirror.

Although these don't actually stain the lips like any other lip stain, they keep on but you can just wipe it off if needed and swipe on another colour! There so comfortable and soft on my lips, it literally feels like nothing on my lips because it's so light weight. All round - perfect!!

If you live near a Boots pharmacy, go check them out! Their on a 3 for 2 offer, you don't know what your missing!! 
RRP £8

Hello lovelies! 

Just an apology for me not been writing and posts for a while!! Been extra busy and so much stuff I've been doing!

We've been having some ups and downs with the weather, but today will be a good first day of August- hitting up to 31 degrees, yippee.

I'll be doing a couple of reviews, empties and what nots! 
The pool is calling me and it wants to be put up and for me to chill out in the lovely sunshine and make the most of it, hopefully a new post will be up either tonight or tomorrow so keep watch!

Alrighty guys, just a short an sweet ramble from me! 
Have a lovely day whatever the weather :)

Nails Of The Day


Bourjois SO Laque Glossy- 04 Amande Defile

Alright my lovely ladies, another NOTD today! 
I picked this Bourjois Nail polish up a few weeks ago in Superdrug, I heard alot about these so I thought I'd give them ago! I will definitely be buying more of these! 
The colours a minty green/blue pastel, my kind of colour! The brushes on here are really thick, it's perfect just to simply glide on to your nails and its done. When you apply your first coat it's quite patchy, you need about 2 or 3 coats but it lasts ages, I've had this nail polish on for about 4 days now, it hasn't even chipped. My nails always chip even on second day, its so annoying. But these are fantastic, even better with a good base coat and top coat, it looks glossy and lovely. A nice pastel for the sunshine we've been having and lovely looking with a tan!

That was just a little review, but I enjoy doing these kind of blog posts! Let me know in the comments if you want any more ideas for my blog, I'm only just getting started!

Happy Saturday and enjoy the sunshine if you have it!!

Glossybox July 2013


Alrighty, so this months glossybox was quite alright. If you don't know what Glossybox is its a monthly subscription which is £10 a month including p+p. You sign up and fill in the info and you get given a wonderful gift box, wrapped beautifully and handed delicately - with 5 products to try out.

SLEEK - Pout Paints
When I came across these, I got rather excited! First off, the colours are loud + vibrant. The brightest pink and the brightest orange suits me just fine. From left - LAVA and from the right - Pinkini.
Alright, so these are highly pigmented lip stains- and they really do mean highly pigmented. You can mix and match around the colours and maybe do an 'Ombre Lip' these are a perfect little size to chuck in your bag, and to do different designs on your lips. A little goes a VERY long way!
RRP £5

CIATE Nail Polish- 'The Glossip'
This highly pigmented nail polish in the reddest coral excited me thoroughly. This polish has the biggest brush ever, good just to glide on and bad if your clumsy.. it gets messy..
This needs about two coats, and I must say it doesn't dry very quickly but doesn't dry annoyingly slowly either. These are the new summer collection shades- and I'm definitely looking forward to trying out some more different shades!
RRP - £9

ANATOMICALS - spray misty (full size)
I love, love this spray it is cooling and smells devine. It squirts on quite heavily- it could do with being a little finer. It doesn't set your make-up like it claims but for cooling down the face and body it is simply perfect!
RRP -£6

COOLA Face SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturiser 
As we've been getting alot more hot weather in England I think its rather brilliant that Glossybox sent us a suncream, don't you?!
Coola organics suncare collection is hypoallergenic, free of parabens and packed with antioxidants. What more can you ask for? It provides complete UVA/UVB protection and fights free radicals, while soothing, toning and minimising your pores. It also delivers powerful moisture into your skin with the organic Acai oils.
RRP- Full size 50ml -£25.99

Alterna Haircare Bamboo Style Waves Tousled Texture Mist (sample)
This spray works similarly to a sea salt spray in that it creates soft bouncy waves in the hair but I do think that the effect will be entirely dependent on your hair type. Unlike sea salt spray this doesn't leave my hair feeling sticky and stiff nor a knotted mess- Although this product works like a sea salt spray just without that sticky tacky feeling left on your hair.
RRP- 125ml £23

So I dont know about you but im quite impressed with this months Glossybox.
If you have the lovely heat like we do, keep on top with the sun cream guys!

Happy Monday

WHATS ON MY FACE #1






Alrighty!!! Todays post is very different. I've seen these posts around on quite a few blogs- Mainly
Lilly Pebbles - whatihearttoday.com

WOMF- Whats On My Face?! Check out down below-

Ok so I was trying some makeup I haven't really used that much.
So I started off with my MAC Studio Fix Foundation/Powder which really is fantastic- It gives a medium coverage but you can build it up to a full coverage. It's perfect for oily skin too! (BONUS!) I use this with my Nanshy flat top brush which blends it in perfectly. 
For a pop of colour I buffed on my STILA Cream Blush in Lillium on to the apples of my cheeks. This is my all time favourite blusher. 

For eyes I wanted a bit of a subtle smokey look - So I of course reached for my Sleek palette in 'Au naturel'. A perfect amount of neutral colours with some darker ones to if you wanted to add a darker colour in your contour of the eye. I applied MAC Woodwinked all over the eye and used the darker brown colour in my crease, also using the black with an angled brush as close as to my lash line as possible - giving the subtle smokey eye. 
I then applied my all time fave Rocket Mascara - Maybelline.

For lips I just used the Rimmel apocalipse lip stains which are amazing! They last on your lips for so long- Shade LUNA. 

Brushes- Nanshy flat top brush
Real Technique buffing brush
Eco Tools angled brush
Coastal Scents 250 brush - also a dupe for MAC 217

Happy Friday everyone!

My Top 5 Drugstore Mascaras

Hello again lovelies. If your a beginner with makeup and need some mascaras under ten pound?! Check this out.



  • GOSH Growth Mascara
  • Jelly Pong Pong Mascara
  • Maybelline - The Colossal Mascara
  • Rimmel- Scandal Eyes Lycra Flex Mascara
  • Maybelline Rocket Mascara
okay so..


GOSH Growth Mascara
The GOSH Growth Mascara I got in June's Glossybox and I have fallen in love with it, I use it everyday.
Its a mascara that promises to having lasting results, instead of the normal temporary volume. Thanks to some special growth activators, its said to give you visibly longer lashes after just 2 weeks of use. It has a rubber brush with helps promote length and volume.
RRP £10


Jelly Pong Pong Mascara- 
I also got this in May's Glossybox. Its a really nice mascara, i'm not really sure how to 
describe how it goes on, maybe wet? Is that the word? Putting it in more sense, when you apply it, it doesn't glide on the lashes that well, BUT if you let it dry for about a minute and keep applying it still gives a nice look on your lashes. Not very voluminous.
RRP - Glossybox. under £10.


Maybelline - Colossal-
This was my first ever mascara I ever bought, and have kept re-purchasing it every time it runs out. This mascara does not clump (no matter how many coats you apply), if it starts to clump then you know its time to chuck it out and buy yourself a new one! Washes off really gently with a good cleanser, and it makes my lashes fuller, longer, and voluminous! ALL round favourite. 
RRP £ 7.19


Rimmel - Scandaleyes Lycra Flex-
Its the biggest and fattest brush I've probably ever seen in my lifetime... (no joke) 
It's a really nice mascara don't get me wrong, but the brush I find to big to apply on to my lashes, it goes quite clumpy after about a month, but giving great volume also.
RRP £7


Rocket mascara
I really adore this mascara, a nice sized wand - it doesn't give a big amount of product on the brush which is great because in that way, it will clump. It makes my lashes fuller and longer, and with a cat eye this is perfect, because it overlaps the flick and makes my eyes look AMAZING.
Really easy to get off also. 
RRP- £8

Hope this was handy!
