FUJIFILM INSTAX MINI 90 - NEO CLASSIC








Recently I have been thinking about how times have changed,  before all photos were printed and put into albums, with even dates and notes on the back of them. Now, that is all forgotten about. We take photos and keep them on our phones occasionally post on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites that we may have. How sad will we be if one day something happened to our phones and they got deleted and we "couldn't be bothered to back it up" so we lost everything. However if we had hardcopies of our memories we wouldn't have to worry about this. 

In February, my mum, sister and I made went to New York City and I wanted one of the authentic, nostalgic instant cameras to take with me. To document memories. I have heard so much about Polaroid cameras. I have seen the Fujifilm 8 camera which comes in many different colours. However, I went for the Fujifilm Instax mini 90 as this one has many more features and buttons to play around with. This camera retails for around £100-£130 depending on where you're buying it from and also some come with film and some don't, this may effect price.


Here are some pictures I have taken using this amazing camera. I love the idea of being able to see the photo develop in front of my eyes, the pictures develop in around 40 seconds.
The setting that the camera has:
Flash
   Party Mode
Kids
Landscape
Brightness control
Macro mode
Bulb exposure
Double exposure

This camera also has a tripod socket, the power switch and the shutter button is the same. One thing that I really like about this camera is that the battery is chargeable, rather then having to buy batteries for the camera. It comes with a battery pack and charger for it too. You can change modes by rotation of the dial. This camera has many features and many settings that make it stand out from the rest of the instax cameras. I really like the double exposure setting on this camera, I have a picture above using this setting, of myself and the Empire state building.


Thank you for reading.

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polish - Shade Birthday Suit


Hey lovlies, lets talk nails.
I have a at home UV lamp to do gel nails with, as I loveee the gel look and how well they tend to last, however it takes forever to do to myself, with all the prepping, curing and painting time it takes. I have recently been on a hunt for a GOOD and AFORDABLE gel polish that doesn't need to be cured under UV lamp.
 I recently saw this Miracle Gel Duo Polish by Sally- Superdrug  for £14.99. At first I though its pricey however it comes with a nail polish and a gel top coat. So, I thought I would give it a try. I bought the duo in the shade "110 Birthday Suit". This polish is a very pinky nude shade. To be honest this is my favourite nude polish I have ever used. The consistency of this product is thick, obviously very gel like. I apply 2 coats of this as I think it gives me the coverage on my nails I like and need. I then apply 1 coat of the gel top coat. This duo gives your nails a very gel/gloss like finish. I guess what you really want to know is how long did they last? Well they lasted around a week I would say after about a week they started chipping at the bottom. However 1 week for me is amazing, as I'm always typing.
I haven't yet tried other shades in this rang, I really want to buy some of there more spring/summer shades that have come out. These are available in many different stores Superdrug and Boots and also on available on different websites too like Feelunique and Sally Hansen website.
Would I repurchase a different colour? Of course
Thank you for reading x

HUDA BEAUTY - LIQUID MATTE- BOMBSHELL







I recently purchased this Huda Beauty liquid matte in the shade Bombshell while I was in New York. I bought this from Sephora. I bought it for $20 you can get it here in the UK for £18 of varies websites (linked above).

Now with the boring bits done we can get onto the review!!:)
I had heard so so so much about Huda Beauty, I follow her on various social media sites. Recently these Liquid matte lipsticks have been everywhere. I watched so many Youtube & Instagram reviews on them, so when I saw it in Sephora on holiday I thought I would buy it and give it a go. I'm not a big fan of buying make up products online especially when I haven't seen the shade in real life. I put a little bit on my hand and tried it on my lips in the store. The shade "Bombshell" was a ME shade. A natural,pinky,taupe shade that goes with a majority of my makeup looks that I do. As its in the name "matte" it is very matte. If I don't apply anything over this I find it can be very drying and dry does not look good. This has a very strong vanilla scent which I am not to keen on however the smell disappears after applying it which is great. I use my MAC lipstick in shade Modesty over this, I find them to be an amazing combo and the sheen helps combat the dryness of the HudaBeauty lipstick. With this lipstick a little goes a long way, you only need a little bit and it will do the job it is very pigmented and has amazing hold time. I had it on for a few hours to dinner one night and it didn't budge, even with the eating. 
I would buy this again in different shades after trying it out. You can find it on many websites available here in the UK like CultBeauty,Sephora  which can be delivered to the UK. 
I hope you liked my review guys. 
Thank you

Clinique - Take the Day Off - Cleansing Balm




Hello again everyone !x I'm back with another review and another amazing product!
Clinique Take the day off cleansing balm. I bought this a few weeks ago as I heard only good things about this balm. I haven't used a balm on my face before but as I love Clinique as a brand, I love the fact that their products are unscented so it works very well with my sensitive skin, that's why I didn't think twice about buying this products. 

This cleanser is a very thick balm consistency. I use a small amount to take of my eye makeup then I rinse it off with warm water, this is great at taking of that stubborn mascara and eye shadows. I then use a small pea sized amount on my face it takes off every little bit of my face makeup. It literally does take the day off! This is really good when your lazy and cannot be bothered to take out cotton pads and micellar water (this is how I usually use to take off my makeup) 

This product also comes in a liquid consistency which I haven't yet tried you can get it here £17. If you have already tried it let me know if its as great as this one.  
Thank you all so much for reading let me know what your loving recently to take your face off.
