//OCTOBER FAVOURITES//

Hey guys.
Where has the time gone! Sorry I haven't posted for awhile again. Got into a bit of funk and been feeling really down. Didn't feel like posting a blog post but I have still been posting onto my Instagram.

Recently I've been trying out some SFX make up and built myself a kit so I should hopefully be posting some stuff like that onto here now I've got into the swing of things and got a fair few ideas jotted down.

Anyway here's my favourite for October! Enjoy.

Morphe brushes 6 peice contour brush set.

I ordered these directly from morphe and they took a fair while to come as they are based in the U.S.A. I won't be ordering products from their website again as I got a £20 duty tax bill from fedex. .. I have found other websites such as beauty chamber ect who stock their products now. The brushes are amazing! You get 3 face brushes and 3 eye brushes.  They are amazing quality and worth checking out!.

My second favourite is also from morphe brushes. It's their 35W pallete. Originally I wanted the 35O pallete but it was out of stock as it's a cult favourite. I wanted some nice warm shade for transition shades but also wanted to play around with some other warm and rich colours. I rate this pallete so much and I already have my eye on two more. The shadows are pigmented and buttery. There is also a mix of mattes, satin and shimmer so it's the ideal pallete. 

LA SPLASH  liquid lipstick in "innocent vixen "

This liquid lipstick is amazing! I had some from MUA about a year ago and they weren't the best. They would dry and crumble after about half and hour.  I saw some people on Instagram wearing a few different shades do naturally took to youtube to find out of they were any good and alot of people rated them. I ordered them along with my morphe bits from the morphe website but you can find them on amazon,  ebay and other online beauty shops. I am obsessed to the point I've worn it everytime I've worn makeup recently! Check out the swatches of there colours they have some really nice nudes all the way up to there more out there colours.

The lipstick in natural lighting.

Bath and body works: 3 wick candle in spiked cherry limesicle.

THIS CANDLE THOUGH. Oh my god. .. this candle is so strong and lovely. Bath and body works is a USA brand who I've quickly become obsessed with. I'm not going to lie.. This candle was around £20 but my god was it worth it. My friend sarah introduced me to their candles by buying me some mini candles to try and I feel in love. Don't get me wrong I still love my yankee candles, but recently they haven't been throwing scent very well. . Also had a few rubbish burners.. check out the scents on the bath and body works website and then head to ebay and get one you one regret it.

As we are talking about candles. My favourite youtuber in the past few months has to be shawn: hearth and soul.

As soon as a wake up I check my phone. I usually have the little play button in the corner. I drag it down and it will usually say that Shawn has uploaded. I'll get casper up give him his breakfast make my coffee and watch shawn. He is genuine and honest with his reviews but he's also a lovely guy and my favourite candle reviewer. I can't even remember how I found hi channel but I'm so glad I did because he's a joy to watch. Go and check him out! 

That's it for my October favourites! What was yours? Leave me a comment down below! And don't forget to follow me on Instagram the link is at the top and also my blog Facebook page which is Leonasupernova !

Until next time.

//PRODUCT REVIEW - YOUNIQUE 3D MASCARA PLUS//

Hey guys,  

So the past week I have been trying the new Younique mascara.

I was sceptical at first because I thought that it was a bit "gimmicky". I had seen photos of people's Before and afters and just thought... "surely it can't do that". 

I put my thoughts aside and tried it. I have short lashes anyway so wasn't expecting crazy length or anything .

I tried the mascara and I will admit it is a bit fiddly the first time you try it... BUT it did add length and volume so I instantly thought  "well that's a lot different than I thought". 

Some people seem to over do it and make their eyelashes clumpy and spider leg like- that isn't the mascara. .. its the way they are apply it.

A lovely Rep called Shona Approached me and asked me if I would like to try the new 3d version on the mascara, This is my first time being gifted a product so naturally it was very exciting for me. She could see i have a love for make up and knew I would really try the product and give it go. I will leave her details at the end.

This is what i received.

Straight away this felt like A luxury product, The way it came boxed and then the packaging of the mascara itself. This is the Plus so its a newer formula and packaging and offers twice the thickness and length. The new packaging has a clear panel so you can see how much product you have left.

As soon as it came in the post I ripped it open and tried it immediately.

I read the instructions and got straight to the application.

I dont have the best lashes. I used to wear Falsies everyday and pick the mascara off my lashes. So they are the longest or thickest they have been in a long time since using this mascara.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the thickness and length! 

I have sensitive eyes so i needed to test the mascara on a long walk or a day out to see if they made my eyes water- Most mascaras do this for me.

I went out and when I came back my eyes hadn't watered and they hadn't flaked which again mostly happens when I wear mascara.

This photo was taken when I got in. The eyelashes hadn't changed and i was really happy with how black they still were.

My fave mascara is the Maybelline - Lash sensational. So I decided to test it Against the Younique and see the difference.

 left- maybelline - right- Younique 3D plus

as you can see the lash sensational is good, But no match for the Younique. The length is good but is doesn't add the extra bit of length and the volume that the 3D fibre lash does. 

I have used this mascara for about two and a half weeks now and really like it.

It does take abut more time to apply as their is the Transplanting gel and then the Fibres to go on top and then you need to finish it off with another coat of the transplanting gel BUT it is worth it for the results.

Tips- 

-I would have a practice with this as it takes a technique to not make it clumpy.. (BY NO MEANS does this mean its not worth the extra two minutes it takes.)

-Comb your lashes.. I did this and it helped my lashes not to clump but I do this everyday because my lashes are prone to it.

Overall thoughts.

I love this mascara, IM NOT SAYING IT BECAUSE I WAS GIFTED IT.

I love that my eyes don't water and it doesn't flake, I can see myself using this a lot. I love the fact it can be layered. Normally after two layers of any other mascara is starts to clump, Get bitty and lumpy and flakes! 

I think its worth the price because I've used it everyday and even tested it with multiple layers and its hardly gone down. When the tube is closed its closed... so no product dries up. I have gotten compliments on my lashes no matter how many coats/layers Im wearing so all round its a good product.

Also Younique are bringing out the products the first week of September- from what Shona has told me its new lipsticks, Pallets similar to urban decay and also Liquid foundations.

//FREEDOM MAKEUP HAUL- EYES//

Hey guys!

So this post is going to be about the Eye products I got from freedom makeup.

These are the single shadows - the collection I have are the "guilded "shadows. 

 As you can see they are very pigmented and sparkly.

I typically apply shadows like this with my finger or with a damp brush to make the most of the glitter finish. I purchased two of these and got 3 for free.

Next up is the 10 eyeshadow pro- smoulder pallet. ..

As you can see from the swatch the colour are again pigmented bit also their is a selection. Personally I don't use colours like this but you never know when you my need them. You can created a smokey eye with this pallet for sure.

Next is the pro brighten and rose mini pallet.

 I bought this as it reminded me of a mini urban decay naked 2 pallet. I don't know if thats what they were going for but I was drawn to the pinks and golds.

I really like this as you get a brow bone shade with it too as you can see in the light the are very glittery. 

All in all I am happy with the eyeshadows and have always been a fan of the makeup revolution ones knew these would be the same if not better. 

The eyeshadows are reasonably priced and are good so nothing really bad to say about them.

Next up will be the face products so if you want to see more make sure you follow me

//FREEDOM MAKEUP HAUL- LIPS//

Hey guys.

So like you saw in my last post, I did a Freedom makeup haul.

I decided to split the products up over a few posts, lips,eyes & face. 

As then then the posts wouldn't be as long and confusing.

I got 7 lip products in total, 5 pink lipsticks which I bought in a collection. You get 5 for the price of 4 (£4) so lets begin with showing the swatches.

As you can see, A GORGEOUS colour selection.

Left- right 

101 Flushed,  105 tell your friends, 102 candy sweet, 102 pink lust 104 wildflower

As you can see they are very pigmented and very creamy. I would the wear time is about 2 hours because they are creamy but for £1 you cant complain.



The next post you see will be eyes so keep an eye.

//AFTERNOON AT LITTLE BREDY//

Hey guys,

So on Sunday we went to Little bredy and it was my first time and i loved it. Below I will post some information about the place and then i will share with you some photos we took.

Little Bredy stands at the head of the Bride Valley where the River Bride tumbles down a waterfall from its springs and is well worth visiting for its gorgeous setting. The descent into it from the east is tremendous from either of the two roads with some of the best inland scenery to be seen in the country. The village is serene – cars are not allowed through part of the village creating a peaceful, old fashioned ambience, a sanctuary miles away from today’s fast paced society

 I feel in love with the place, It has all the thatched cottages and the cute little church. The houses all had honeysuckle and other climbing plants on them.

Then we got to the waterfall area... WOW

Here you can see Daddy and Casper loving the waterfall.

                                    The top of the waterfall

At the top is a large lake with ducks and lots of fish

      There is lots of plush green grass and plenty of giant trees to sit under. perfect for a picnic

and a lovely clear stream perfect for a paddle.

And of course a lot of beautiful backdrops for a selfie!

         

If you are ever between Bridport and dorchester then i recommend a trip to little bredy you can find it near hardys monument. just follow the signs.

Until next time,

Leona xo
