Benefit Box Blushes...

Benefit is my all time favourite makeup brand. I use multiple Benefit products everyday on my face and just find that every product they create is perfect. Their packaging is beyond cute with all the vintage designs and their products are beyond amazing! Over a couple of years I have become a custom to collecting the box blushes/bronzers and seem to have collected quite a few so far as I just think the colours are gorgeous and totally unique to anything that I've tried before. Each blush is priced around £23 so aren't something I buy too often, but when I do decide to treat myself I always somehow end up with another one of these boxes of just pure brilliance.

"Bella Bamba" - A 3D brightening pink face powder

Out of all my blushes 'bella bamba' is my absolute favourite! As you can tell i have really hit pan here as I definitely use this the most out of all my blushes. Once applied its a very subtle girly pink colour that seems to perk up your cheeks no matter how tired you look which is always handy. It's a very buildable blusher that is highly pigmented and because of its '3D effect' just adds something different to a normal blush.

"Hervana" - A good karma face powder

This has been my most recent blush purchase and once again the packaging here is absolutely gorgeous. I Love how this blush has 4 different shades of neutral pink tones that when you mix together creates the prettiest matte natural looking pink colour that seems to give this heavenly looking glow. This seems to suit just about every skin colour and is buildable once again because of the pigmentation.

"Sugarbomb" - "Sugar Rush Flush" face powder

Once again as you can tell I've hit pan on this blush. It's a very timeless shade, that when worn under different lights shows the different tones giving this blush an almost unique personality. Its a very flattering peachy colour when all four shades are mixed together even with the plum and coral tones mixed. It really perks up your face because it's slightly shimmery but not disco ball shiny over the top and in your face.

"Hoola" - Bronzing Powder

Lastly I have one of their bronzing boxes. I feel like this is the perfect bronzer to give a healthy looking glow when used to contour your cheekbones and temples. It's not the slightest bit shimmery and is totally matte without any orange tones allowing you to build on the colour without worrying about how shiny your face may look. It's an amazing every day bronzing product thats quick and easy to apply!

My Fashion Inspirations...

Ever since I was little I’ve always been into fashion. I’ve always been told that even from a very young age I’ve always chosen my own outfits and never wanted to wear anything that my mum picked out for me! But recently I’ve really discovered my own true style, what suits me and what I really love to wear. I’d say that my sense of style has changed quite drastically from this time last year. I’m very often asked for style advice on twitter and Instagram and told how my style inspires others to dress so I ‘m going to put together a few of my top fashion influences who have really inspired my style recently…

Most people won’t know this about me but my main style influence at the moment has been Eleanor Calder.  Her style never fails and always seems to look amazing no matter what she’s wearing. Her style is very causal yet classic with a girly but monochrome edgy twist here and there allowing her to always look put together no matter what the occasion is. From her casual look of, oversized knitted jumpers and high waisted skinny’s with converse to her more formal, jumpsuits and blouses paired with cut out shoes, she’s never a slave to a trend, keeping it minimal, but always herself. I blame her for my current obsession with Topshop.

Out of all the celebrities I could pick from I’d say that my main influence from a very young age has been Miley Cyrus. Once again she’s never a slave to a trend, by dressing how she wants. I’d say she has that slightly edgier side to her. She completely rocks monochrome colours to spikes and all things high waisted pairing them all with combat boots and converse. Her layering of clothing is absolutely flawless and she always somehow looks put together yet casual. She is slightly edgier than my personal style but each item she styles, I adore.

Lastly, I would say, as my third choice would have to be Taylor swift. Her style is the definition of ‘Classy’. Her preppy and country yet elegant style never fails to impress me. Stripes, Vintage dresses, high waisted shorts, brogues and blouses all come to mind when I think about Taylor’s style whilst once again incorporating monochrome colours on a daily basis. This inspires the girly side of my fashion sense, which has always been the unique style of Taylor swift.

Face of the Night...

My First Proper Post, Yay! So I'm going to my cousins tonight and as I was doing my makeup I decided I should do a Face of the night whilst I was at it. I never really wear too much makeup but as I was going out it was the perfect opportunity to wear a little bit more than usual. 

Here I have all the products that I have used: 

(Top) Benefit 'Bene-tint', Benefit 'Big Beautiful eyes' palette, Ted Baker Bronzer.

(Bottom) Rimmel London' BB Cream', Benefit 'Girl meets Pearl', Benefit 'Stay Don't Stray' Primer, Maybelline 'Rocket' Mascara, Mac 'Wonder Woman' Lipgloss and Benefit 'Pore-fessional'

I don't want to bore you all with the steps but heres how I applied it:

 I applied the tiniest bit of 'Pore-ffesional' onto my T zone before evenly applying a small bit of BB cream around my face to give my skin an even looking appearance, whilst slightly concealing my under eye area. 

I applied "Girl meets Pearl' to the tops of my cheeks as a highlight, 'Bene-tint' to my cheeks and lips to give a natural tint of colour and my Bronzer to my cheekbones to add slight definition to my face giving that illusion of defined cheek bones.

On my eyes I applied 'Stay don't Stray' to my eyelids as a primer before adding all 3 eyeshadow shades, starting with the lightest colour as the base shadow, the medium brown as the outer eye shadow and the darkest brown in the crease to add definition.

I finished the overall look with my Mac Lipgloss to complete the look and make it look put together. 

Its a very natural look and it doesn't scream 'Look at me I'm wearing makeup!' But this is one of my favourite looks to wear and I hope you all love it too :)

Welcome to my blog...

So I've been thinking about starting a blog for a while now and I've always had a Twitter, Instagram and a Tumblr (xBexBabyx) so sharing my life is not really a new thing to me, but its slightly daunting as i've never run my own blog before. Seeing as I'm on a break from school and the summer holidays are fast approaching I thought what a perfect time to start one....

I might as well start off with telling you all a little bit about myself. Im 17 years old, currently studying my A Levels at school whilst studying Art, Photography, Drama and Maths (which hopefully i'll be dropping in September!). I absolutely adore Art and Photography as this is what i would love to go into later in life.
I am forever constantly listening to music (most probably One Direction or any other boyband) whether its on full blast in my room or from headphones. Im slightly obsessed with boybands and my life seems to revolve around them one way or another.
I love to travel and really see the world by going abroad on holidays whenever I can and especially capture it through the lens of my Camera.

I also absolutely adore beauty and Fashion and this is what I hope to use this blog for! I hope you all enjoy and I'm really excited to start posting soon.

Bethany xoxo
