How Much Is My Face Worth? TAG.

I was having a nosey round on YouTube today and spotted a tag video which was called how much is my face worth. I watched the video and found it quite interesting. Basically, you add up the prices of all the products you use on your face on a daily basis and that is how much your face is worth. Watching these videos made me quite interested to see how much my face is worth... so here goes.


(please excuse the bad photo. i have lost my camera and the lighting was really bad!!)


MAC Studio Fix Fluid (NC25): £21.50
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (Light 2): £4.19
MAC Studio Finish Concealer (NC15): £15.00
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder (Translucent): £3.99
MAC Limited Edition Snowglobe Eyeshadow Palette (dark brown for eyebrows and crease): £30.00
Urban Decay Primer Potion (original): £16.00
Urban Decay Naked Palette (sin): £37.00
Collection Extreme Felt Tip Liner (black): £2.99
Barry M Kohl Pencil Liner (black): £2.99
Maybelline The Falsies Mascara (black): £7.99
NARS Bronzer (laguna): £27.00
MAC Powder Blush (fleur power): £18.00
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish (soft and gentle): £22.00
MAC Lipstick (plumful): £15.00
MAC Fix+: £14.50

MY FACE IS WORTH: £238.15

Wow. After adding that up I am very surprised. I didn't think that the price would be as much as it is. I thought it would have come to around the £150 mark, but it went way past (oops, haha). This is genuinely my everyday make up that I use and after seeing the price I feel very privileged to be able to have this make up and am in no way bragging at all (usual blogger/youtuber disclaimer). 

I hope that you enjoyed this post and add up how much your face is worth.
I am going to tag my friend Leigh-Ann to do this tag to see how much her face is worth, so make sure you go over and check her blog out - http://kissandmakeup28.blogspot.co.uk/

The Mother of All Hot Pink Lipsticks

I can't believe how fast this year is going and that it's nearly the end of February already! However, this means that Spring and Summer are on their way equalling in bright lips and pastel nails - which I love both. To get into the Spring/Summer spirit, I whipped out one of my favourite MAC lipsticks today that had been pushed to the back of the drawer for some time. I'm sure you'll of all heard of MAC Girl About Town?? Well, yep. That's the one. 


The colour is a blue based fuchsia, so it makes your teeth look very white when wearing it. It is an amplified finish and is also quite creamy. The lipstick is a opaque colour and will last a very long time before it is needed to be reapplied. I love this colour and it's making me very excited for Summer to be here!

I hope you enjoyed this post. What's your favourite MAC lipstick for Summer?

Rita Ora for Rimmel

As you may have already heard, Rita Ora has worked with Rimmel and is releasing some items to Rimmel's Collection. If you don't know who Rita Ora is, she is a singer and the products she will be bringing out are 12 nail polishes and 5 colour rush balms. 



The nail polish collection consists of 12 shades ranging from white to a very dark almost-black red. They are also in the 60 seconds range of Rimmel's nail polishes, which I am a fan of, which means they dry quickly. Often with the 60 seconds nail polishes from Rimmel, they are very pigmented and can sometimes only need one coat which is always a plus!


Rimmel already have some colour rush balms out with their permanent collection, however five more shades are being added in Rita Ora's collection. All the shades are very bright, pink and girly. These are similar to the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains and are very pigmented, moisturising, creamy and have a very nice finish( they also smell of vanilla, yum). I think that despite the fact that Rimmel were one of the last brands to jump on the bandwagon with the balm stains, they have produced one of the best. 

Rita Ora for Rimmel will be available as of March 19th 2014 and priced at £3.69 for the nail polishes and £6.99 for the balms.

Hope you enjoyed this post - I can't wait to get my hands on a few of the products.

Tanya Burr's Lips and Nails!

Tanya Burr is a person that I have watched on YouTube for quite a few years now and to find out that Tanya would be bringing out her own beauty line simply excited me. 


Tanya Burr herself

Tanya is a YouTube sensation who has gained nearly two million subscribers to her channel. Tanya started off by training as a make up artist and worked alongside some of the biggest names in beauty. Tanya then took to YouTube as well posting videos from beauty, tutorials and tag videos to vlogs and collaborations with other YouTubers. Tanya also runs a very successful blog.

Tanya then worked with eyeCANDY cosmetics company to create her very own line of lip glosses and nail polishes. Along every step of the creating of the products, Tanya was involved, using her own knowledge and taste to create a product range with something for everyone. Tanya also named each and every one of her products herself which I also think is a really nice touch.

Lipglosses

From left to right: Afternoon tea, Let's travel the world, Champagne toast, Exotic island, Picnic in the park, Chic, Vampire kiss, Smile dream sparkle, Heart skipped a beat, Just peachy, First date, Aurora.

In the lip gloss range, there are twelve lip glosses ranging from bright to nude and creme to shimmer (there really is something for everyone). The lip glosses also include moisturising ingredients to help hydrate the lips and also claim to have a 'wet look' finish and long lasting shine. 

Creme lip glosses - Afternoon tea, Let's travel the world, Exotic island, Picnic in the park, Chic, Vampire kiss.
Shimmer lip glosses - Champagne toast, Smile dream sparkle, Heart skipped a beat, Just peachy, First date, Aurora. 

As you can see from the colour selection and finish range, there is something that everybody can wear. Priced at £6.99 they are also really affordable. I can't wait to get my hands on Afternoon tea, Picnic in the park and Aurora.

Nails

From left to right: Peaches & Cream, Be bright be happy, Little duck, Mini marshmallows, Bright and early, Mischief managed, Riding hood, Midnight sparkles, New York night, Penguin chic. 

The range also includes ten nail polishes. Again, like the lip glosses, there is a colour for everyone ranging from hues to brights. The nail polishes claim to be long lasting, chip resistant and non fade as well so if all this is true then these nail polishes are a bargain at just £5.99 each. The nail polishes also have a shimmer shade thrown in which is Midnight sparkles. I am excited to try out Little duck, Mini marshmallows and Midnight sparkles.

Tanya's lips and nails are available exclusively at www.feelunique.com. In Tanya's latest YouTube video, the announcement was made that Superdrug were taking on her cosmetics and will be stocking them in the near future! There is not a date set yet for when the products hit stores, but its official, it's happening. 

I can't wait to get my hands on some of Tanya's products as I don't yet have any myself, but I am definitely going to grab a few of the lip glosses and nail polishes!

Have you tried any of Tanya's products? What do you think of them?
Hope you enjoyed this post.
