No7 Dramatic Lift mascara

Hello everyone, 

I know I've been MIA and I don't really have a reason why, I've just been too lazy! I think it's because trying to blog everyday is difficult. So I've decided that I'll try once a week and if that's easier I'll slowly add more days, but if I feel like posting more I will. 

Today I thought I'd do a review on the No7 Dramatic Lift mascara. I love this mascara (and I'm not just saying it because I work for No7, it's coming from my own opinion!) Whenever I wear this mascara at work I have people telling me my lashes are fake or I've curled my lashes which is why they look so long, and honestly it's not. It's the mascara! 

It's been proven to lift the lashes by 70% and creates weightless volume so that your eyes appear wide awake. As you can see from the photo, the eye with mascara looks wider and opened up compared to the eye without. It has a curved brush which is able to reach all the lashes as it fits the shape of your eye. 

This mascara plus all other No7 mascaras (excluding those cheaper) are on offer for £10 at the moment and we have a buy one get a second half price. That's two mascaras for £15!

I'd recommend getting this mascara as I'm in love with it and all the customers I've sold it too say how much they love it as well! 

I'll probably be posting more now as I have one day off next week and then I'm off work for a week. During that week (Saturday 8th- Saturday 15th) I'll try to post as much as I can about what I've been up too! 

Until next time,

What I got for my 20th birthday

Hello everyone, 

So I thought I'd write a blog on what I got for my 20th birthday. 

I went to London for the day so I spent the money I was given. I got a lot of money which I spent on MACs New York Apple lipstick. I've not seen this shade in the stores where I live but I fell in love instantly! It was the first shade I saw as soon as I walked over to the lipstick. 

I also brought a couple of MAC brushes- 195 and 226. I've used these brushes while doing my makeup at work and I love them! 

I treated myself to a Longchamp bag. I have a makeup bag of theirs and I love it so I thought I'd get myself a bag. I got the biggest sized bag they do. I chose the grey colour, it's more of a dark grey than a light grey. 

I went into TKMaxx and saw a pair of vans which luckily were my size. I've wanted another pair for ages but never got round to buying a pair. I also brought a 'to do' list. This has helped a lot with blogging. I can plan when I'm going to blog and I can take it on the go with me. 

I went into Victoria's Secret and brought 3 pairs of knickers for £27! I love them, they're so comfy and I love the style and colours I chose. 

Just before we were going to leave, I went into the body shop and got my free birthday present. I got the green tea body scrub bar and lip balm. As the birthday gift is a max of £5, so I paid 90p extra as the bar came to £4. 

As for presents I got pandora earrings from my boyfriend (they match the ring he got me at Christmas) and a Yankee candle which smells amazing! Fat face vouchers; it was a cardigan but I wasn't too sure on it so I exchanged it for vouchers, havaianas, porrfessional, hooks bronzer and primer potion. 

I am thankful for what I got and I had a really great birthday!

New name

Hello everyone, 

So I know I changed my name a few months back but thinking about it the other day, I couldn't make a Twitter and an Instagram with that name. 1) because it's too long for Twitter and 2) it just didn't feel right as an Instagram name! 

I thought hmm okay, I want something to do with makeup but can also be a general blog. And seeing as everyone wears and loves lipstick (even people who don't write beauty blogs) I thought that would be the best name. 

I haven't really got much to say on this post but I thought I'd write one so that you know that I've changed my name and so you don't get confused! Go and follow my new Instagram and Twitter; heartlipstick. I'm following back! 

Enjoy the rest of your day guys.

Update in life

Good morning everyone, 

Just a quick update in the life of Sara. I sat last night thinking about how much I'd love to have a lifestyle (kinda) blog so thought I'd add it to this one! It'll include things like baking, bedroom DIYs, those kinda things. 

Everything is going well in my life ATM, I'm getting a load of makeup tomorrow for my birthday so on Saturday I'll be doing a first impressions blog about what I go, but it'll go up Monday! I'll also write a what I got for my birthday blog too. 

As I'm going to London tomorrow I'll be taking pictures and posting them on Instagram so if you would like to give me a follow, go ahead, I'm not stopping you. 

Another quick update (although this happens quite a lot and maybe one of you will be able to give me an answer, o think it's down to anxiety but I'm not sure. My hands shake like 89% of the time. Whether I'm at home or in bed or around people, I shake. I have no idea how or why I do it, I just thought that maybe one of you would be able to tell me why I shake and what causes it. 

Anyway enough with me blabbering no, I hope you all have a great week and I love you all!

Sorry

Hello everyone,

This is a quick post just to tell you that I may post maybe one or two blogs this week. 

My boyfriend is going through something really personal so I need to be there for him, hence why I'll probably not be posting. 

It's been going on for some time but I was told over the weekend so I haven't really had my mind in blogging mode ATM. As of next week (over the weekend) I should be back up and back to normal- apart from Wednesday as its my 20th so I'll be spending the day with my boyfriend and going to London. I'll try and take as many pictures as I can and will post about it! 

I'm really sorry for no posts lately, it's been a tough time. I hope you can understand!

Forgot to say, I'll probably be reducing the amount of times I blog a week as its very difficult to blog everyday when I'm working full time. I'll keep Friday as a weekly reflection but combined the other 4 days into two days during the week- possibly Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I'll still be giving advice but it may only be a short blog from now on, and the other days will be all sorts of beauty related blogs now rather than keeping to tips, reviews and looks. I'll add in some DIYs, makeup looks, OOTD, and just changing it up slightly so it's not the same thing over and over again. That way it's not boring for you guys! 

Wednesday's Hot or Not- Dr Organic organic snail gel

Hello everyone, 

I know the title sounds really gross but trust me it's not. I've already given information about this product in my skincare routine so I'm not going to go into too much detail about it. 

Although the thought of putting snail gel onto your skin does sound disgusting and not quite nice, it's been developed and is only part of what a snail uses to fix its shell. That's where the got the idea from, they could see how well it fixes a snails shell that they thought it would work for humans too. It's an amazing product which does feel great on my skin, and it's actually been helping my eyebrows to grow! Since using it my brows have grown back quicker and fuller than before and it's taken me ages to find this product! 

Seeing as I didn't buy this, I'm not sure how much it cost. I got mine in May's YouBeauty Discovery box which is great value for £6.95. Unfortunately it's an English company and they don't post internationally (sorry). But if you can find this on the internet I'd definitely buy it! I love the stuff and it has a really pleasant smell.

I'd 100% recommend this product!

Tuesday's tip- drinking water

Hello everyone, 

Again I'm sorry for this post on being uploaded last night! I will however also be posting Wednesday's blog up later this evening too! 

Now a lot of you may already know this tip but ideally you should drink 6-8 glasses of water a day! Believe it or not, but water helps to clear your skin of any toxins (as well as keep your skin hydrated!) Water also helps with weight loss- now I'm not saying that you need to lose weight, but if you drink a big glass of water before every meal it helps to speed up your metabolism and helps you to realise you're full so you're not stuffing your face and feeling sick (guilty). 

I take a bottle of water to work with me which is a litre. I then go home and will either fill that bottle up again or I'll get a glass of water and keep topping it up. I've noticed that my skin isn't as dehydrated as before and I can tell a difference in the amount of spots I have! 

Drink Your Water!!
