Nude and Neutral Beauty Wishlist #BloggersDoItBetter

Hi everyone! Today is the third installment of the Bloggers Do It Better Challenge! I have to be completely honest with you and admit that I didn't take part in the second challenge - I have no excuse other than I have been extremely busy, sorry! Today I am back and ready to stick at the challenge again. This weeks challenge is called 'Bloggers Do It Better Bright and Neutral'! I have opted for a wishlist of all of my favourite neutral make up products I have my eye on and want to purchase. I love neutral make up, particularly for eye shadow, as I like keep it quite simple - but also like my make up to look fresh, professional; but still like it to brighten up my face and look presentable! I love neutral colours as they are very versatile - they are perfect for all year round.

Firstly, a nail polish. There is nothing better than a neutral nail colour and I love this Nicole by OPI nail lacquer in 'You Can'. I love neutral nails as they are so easy to wear and look great any time of day, any kind of occasion, any time of the year, and look acceptable for work and studying too! Another neutral favourite that I have my eye on is this Collection Work The Colour Nude Eye Pallette in Nude 1. It has all of the perfect neutral colours you may need, which will brighten your eye look up a tonne. I have included this in my wishlist as it is crazily inexpensive, costing only £3.99. A lipgloss I really like for a neutral day time look is 2True Colour Drench Lipgloss in Shade 1, which is another steal coming in at £1.99. I searched for a while for a lovely nude lipstick and found 'Pale Nude' by Barry M. I do really like most of their lipsticks and this colour looks perfect. I can be a little unsure when wearing neutral and nude colours on my lips, as I worry it looks like I have concealer or foundation lips! This one looks perfect though and would suit my skin tone, as I am very pale neutral lips tend to wash me out.

Top Beauty Picks For Spring! #BloggersDoItBetter

Top Beauty Picks For Spring

Hi everyone, today is the very first #BloggersDoItBetter Challenge! We were asked to write about something Spring inspired, I must admit I did struggle with this challenge a little. I wasn't sure at all how I could include Spring into one of my blog posts. After a little thinking I decided on a 'Top beauty picks for Spring' post! This isn't something I would normally write about as it is a little out of my comfort zone; I usually just write reviews and favourite product posts but I thought I would just go for it! So here you have it, this is my interpretation of Spring for the first challenge topic. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm not usually the type of person to 'only wear a certain shade in particular Seasons' but I did a little research of what is in fashion this Spring, and have been loving the pastels and neon shades: they're everywhere!
I love a pink lip, and think this MUA lipstick in shade 12 is perfect for the Spring Months. It is a nice vibrant pop of colour that brightens up any outfit. I searched through my perfumes but couldn't find a 'perfect' scent for Spruing. I have picked this Impulse Body Spray in Be Surprised. It has notes of violets and red fruits so smells beautiful and fresh for Spring. I couldn't decide on the perfect nail colour so I picked two! One is Models Own Pukka Purple. It is a lilac toned purple, although it does look a deep purple on the photograph. I love this colour but find it difficult to wear but it looks great for this time of year. I love Models Own nail varnishes as they have a lovely finish. I also selected Essie's Beach Bum Blu. I know both neons and pastels are popular, although i do think this polish would look great any time of the year. It is metallic - look aquamarine colour which reminds me of mermaids. I tihnk this colour would be perfect on the toes when wearing Jelly Shoes or a Peep Toe shoe! My last top pick for Spring has to be a blush. i am obsessed with blushers, and have opted for Loreal' Le Blush in 115 True Rose. It is a soft, dusky pink that adds that subtle rush of colour to your cheeks.

The #BloggersDoItBetter Challenge

This is an introductory post to share with you a challenge I will be taking part in!

Gemma from Touch Of Belle has come up with a great idea - a challenge for all bloggers to take part in that gets us chatting about lots of different topics.

Each fortnight on a Monday we will be writing about a different subject on our own blogs - it could be about anything. 

The story behind the name of the challenge is that we will be discussing different subjects that Gem has seen, heard or read and thinks Bloggers Do It Better! 

More information can be found on the lovely Gemma's blog here.

If you would like to join us and take part in the challenge, send an email over to Gemma at touchofbelle@gmail.com and include your name, blog URL, and email address.
