Blusher love!

Heya guys and gals of the blogosphere! the weather is dull and so was my face until these little beauties landed in my life!

1. ' You are my sunshine.' 

This is a gorgeous dark pink/ dusky rose powder blush with a golden shimmer through out the blush, it is highly pigmented so a little goes along way and I find it adds a dewy Finnish to my skin and a complete utter bargain for 1.99!

2.  'Paper roses.'

This is a cream blush, it isn't necessarily high in pigmentation but it does add a natural glow to the cheeks and is buildable. This blush blends really nicely into the skin using my fingers and it also has an amazing colour that suits most skin colours because of the blush being a  light pastel pink with an almost lilac undertone.

Again this was a bargain for 1.99.

3. 'Orange county girl.'

This is also a cream blush but in more of a coral shade, it is my favorite of the three because it has the shimmer and glow of the 'Paper roses' and the golden undertone of the 'You are my sunshine.' 

I think it blends easy with my fingertips and has enough pigmentation to give my cheeks a lovely colour!

I genuinely love this blusher and would defiantly buy it again!

Whats your favorite blusher?

Forever twenty one;Mustache necklace.

Heya guys and gals of the blogosphere, so a few days ago i went to the Trafford center in Manchester with a girls group (long story for more information click: HERE)
I attended this in an attempt to meet new people as I've just moved into the area and it was supposed to help lead me into becoming a volunteer at the youth club, which it did and i'm now starting a voluntary course in September which will help me have some experience for future jobs once I've passed and become a volunteer.  So anyway back to the story in the Trafford center we each got to get each other a gift like a secret Santa but in april, i got a girl called Lisa who bought me the most adorable necklace from forever twenty one, it has a thin gold chain and a dainty mustache charm, i personally love it and glad she picked it for me :)

Stir it up Saturday Introduction!

 Hello, this is just a quick post/ update on whats been going on with my blog, i learnt how to make my own blog header and blog button and then i fell in love with a blog  The prettiest pastel this blog is run by a girl called Beth who is super lovely, i can't remember how i came across her blog but i did, i left a comment on her post and she emailed me later that day, we started talking because she wanted some help for her blog layout and header, after i made her blog header and helped her go over a few things and chatted  we decided since we both love each others blog we should collaborate, which we are now in the process of doing :)
it will be a post on drugstore makeup because we're both still in high school so we don't have alot of high end makeup, it will be posted each Saturday for about 4/5 weeks, and on both blogs.
if you want anymore information, if you would like help on your blog I.e blog header or you would like to collaborate email me at Thegirlinpatternedtights@gmail.com.

St Ives scrub review!

so i'm obsessed with skincare products because i used to suffer with acne, and now although it's gone i still get 'teenage spots' which i obsess with getting rid of and taking care of my skin.
i have tried many different facial scrubs and i think this one beats all of them to a pulp, it smooths, hydrates and makes my skin super soft,  although i haven't saw any major changes with my skin using it only that it removes dead and dry skin and makes my skin feel like a primer would.
it has a sort of medicine like peach scent not a normal fresh peach smell, i'm really bad at describing if you didn't notice already, so basically if you haven't tried this i really suggest you do, and i'll keep you updated on how it works for me.

I *heart* nude nails!

nude nails! well although winters not over just yet i decided to go against the crowd and go for the nude look on my nails, just because days are dark doesn't mean your nails have to be! 

so here are the nail vanishes i used to achieve this look:

MeMeMe- long lasting gloss in shade 97 sensuous (Base)

Barry M- nail paint in shade 66 Matt white (for the heart)

Revlon-nail enamel in shade 910 Barely Peach. (as a sheer top coat)

I then used Fast and fruity nail polish removed to clean any smudges up because well we all make mistakes 

i'd also like to point out i absolutely hate doing my nails so i constantly make mistakes so my nail art isn't too great, this was just abit of a random post :)

Revlon- barely peach
Barry M- Matt white
Mememe-sensuous
Fast and fruity nail vanish remover

My handmade cushion!

This is Stuart  my little patchwork owl cushion, he took 4 hours to cut, handsew and put together.
he is a patchwork owl made from old pieces of fabric and buttons for eyes.
he isn't perfect but for my first attempt of making my own cushion for my bedroom i'm pretty proud of him.
of course i can't take all the credit for this little cutie because i had help from my boyfriend liam, he cut out the owl shape and contributed to some of the sewing so without my little helper it probably would have took me eight hours.
i'm a very crafty creative person anyways so this was just fun for me to do, but if your not a crafty person it's just as fun anyway.
i usually make my own jewelry and i'm thinking of doing some more crafty post's, if your a follower or just read my blog any feedback would be helpful.

Strawberry dream cream!

strawberry dream cream by n-spa is a product a got given but have fell in love with, it smells amazing and has a thick consistantcy that hydrates the skin, it has a cute description on the front label of the packaging which i'm guessing is a sort of copy of the philosophy skincare packaging, although this isn't as good as philosophy it's a pretty good body cream just to have as a treat or as a little goodie/gift for someone else,

plus it's also alot cheaper :)                                        

My Favorite perfumes!

hey guys, this blog post will be about my ultimate favorite scents/perfumes

so firstly my ultimate favorite perfume award goes to benefit 'laugh with me Lee Lee'

it has a light fresh smell, and seems to linger for awhile after it's been sprayed, i also love the packaging shown down in the pictures it has a door and the actual perfume bottle is supposed to look like a cocktail shaker, not only is it an amazing perfume it also is named after the nickname i use for my boyfriend 'Lee Lee'           so all in all it's my favorite.                                            

My second favorite is Katy Perry 'Meow' this has a deep sweet musk smell that can be abit much sometimes because of how sweet it does smell, it has the cutest packaging as shown in the pictures below it's a cat, i think because she calls her fans Katys Cats, it came with a little 'M' on its collar but unfottumately it broke off.

Third in my favorite's list is 'midnight fantasy  by Brittany spears, again if you don't like really sweet smells this perfume wouldn't be for you but i really like it.

i like alot of Brittany spears perfumes as you'll probably see by the end of this blog post.

i love the packaging it's a midnight blue with sliver spots and ring.

another one of my favorites is Brittany spears 'Curiosity' it has a lot less of a sweeter smell than the other Brittany spears scents, it has more of a clean smell but i really like this one too, the packaging isn't anything to rave about just a little blue bottle  but it's still a lovely little perfume to own.

 Kate moss's Lilabelle is one of my favorites in my list because it has a sweet smell but with a fresh edge to it, this is also really cheap to get hold of aswell so you can smell good and your purse can feel good too

the packaging is also really cute and simple with a plain bottle with a decorated lid, it reminds me of old fashioned perfume bottles.

lastly on my favorites list is not really a perfume but a body spray, it's one of the yummiest scents around and its Holister 'cresent bay' they do loads of different flavoured scents in these sprays but this one has got yo be my favourite, it smells like you could eat it, the packaging isn't the prettiest of bottles but it's been made to smell not to look at i guess

the only downside to this product is that although the spray's scent lasts on you, you have to use alot of it so it runs out really quickly.

so yeah if you want anymore information or would like me to do more of these blog reviews let me know :)
