BABY LIPS OBSESSION

Hellooo all,

So I have an obsession... (one of many to be honest) and this obsession has taken over my life...and my lipstick holder!
Every since Maybelline brought out Baby Lips I've had an obsession with them, but lately its become worse!
I say it like its a bad thing but it's really not as they're such good products! So, I decided to share my love of Baby Lips with you.

In total I have 6, had 7 but I managed to use the whole thing up! (really it was a great achievement for me) I have 2 of the original ones, 2 doctor rescues and 2 electro.

I store them in this acrylic makeup holder thing, which was from TK Max and was around £5, so a lot cheaper than the fancy ones you can get, and it's sooo good for keeping all you useful things in one place. I keep this on top of my makeup draws, as you know...it's make up.
In the little holder I also keep a few other things such as: Tanya burr/Nyx lip-gloss', various lip liners, my MAC lipstick, more lip balms, hand cream and a couple of beauty sponges.

Back to the Baby lips then,  I love them I think they're really great and handy to just grab and pop on.
I find they have a really smooth consistency so they just glide on, which is great for the ones with a slight colour to them.
The ones that do add a slight colour are great as well, duh, because the colours are quite sheer and add a subtle pop of colour, even the electro ones don't add too much but you could easily build it up. I also find that the non-coloured ones are perfect because they add a nice shine to your lips.

Another thing I love about them is the packaging! It's so cute and neat and easy to use, which makes them look really pretty when being stored.
I also think the doctor rescue ones are helping my lips get less chapped, which is great around this time of year!

My favourite is between the original 'Peachy Kiss' and the doctor rescue 'Just peachy' as they both add a pretty shine and sweep of nude colour.

Another thing about them is that they're great value for money, at only £2.99 each it allows me to go crazy, as you can tell I already have! I also plan to buy more of them as in the US there are so many more and fingers crossed they'll get them over here soon.

I definitely recommend these to anyone and everyone, so make sure you go out and get your hands on some of these!

Thanks for reading, please follow and feel free to follow my social media and all that good stuff!
Thanks again!

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Pallet Review...YUM

Hello all,

Sooo today I'm going to show and review for you on the Too faced Chocolate Bar pallet, which my amazing parents got me for Christmas.
I have no doubt that you've probably seen this pallet before on Youtube, blogs or wherever you see pallets, but it's quite well known and also a very popular product from Too faced



 

This product definitely lives up to the good reviews I've read, as it's deffo the best eye shadow pallet I've ever used.

 

There is a really good colour range in this pallet, with mainly pinky, purple, gold colours and includes 6 matt and 10 shimmery shades, which is perfect to create sooo many looks, You can create both dramatic, edgy, simple and soft looks with it, which is one of the main reasons I love this pallet.

 

In addition the pigmentation to these colours is so good! Which is only expected as it's such a high quality product. However, I do feel that some of the lighter shimmery shades are less pigmented, but that's probably only because I have vampire white skin, so they just wont show up as much.

 

There is basically no fall out with these shadows, which is great because no one wants eye shadow fall-out ruining your makeup, or it fading away halfway through the day.

 

Another thing I love about this product is the way it smells. It literally smells good enough to eat. It's scented like chocolate as the shadows are made with natural cocoa powder. Some people may find the smell overwhelming, however I think it has the perfect amount of chocolaty goodness to it. I find the smell quite subtle, but still there, and honestly I could smell this all day! (and as I write this I must look very odd, sat here, smelling an eye shadow pallet)

 

 

 

The packaging for this pallet is not only super pretty, but also feels very tough, sturdy and protective.

The actual pallet comes inside a cardboard packaging (as seen in the pictures above) which is a pretty pastel pink colour with Too face's logo on, and the title of the pallet. Then on the back of the box it tells you a bit about the pallet as well as the names of all the shadows inside.

Then the actual pallet looks like a chocolate bar! which I loooove!

The only problem I have with the packaging, and I know a few other people have said as well, is that the names of the shadows aren't on the packaging, just on a plastic cover that goes inside. which isn't really an issue to me as I would have kept it on them anyway, but it can be quite annoying at times.

However I do think on the newer packaging of this pallet they are printed onto it, so it may no longer be an issue!

 

 

Colour from left to right, top to bottom: Gilded Ganache, White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Black Forrest Truffle, Triple Fudge, Salted Caramel, Marzipan, Semi-Sweet, Strawberry Bon-Bon, Candied Violet, Amaretto, Hazelnut, Crème Brulee, Haute Chocolate, Cherry Cola and Champagne Truffle.

 

I personally think the names are so cute because they're sweet and chocolate related, which obviously match the pallet's theme!

 

I use this pallet nearly everyday to create a natural look, here's what I do:

 

1. Apply 'milk chocolate' into the crease
2. I then pop 'white chocolate' all over my lid.
3. After I apply 'champagne truffle' in the inner corner and brow bone to highlight.
4. I then use a black eyeliner (gel or liquid) to create a simple, small wing.

This is such an easy and quick look to create, but if I want it to be a bit fancier I apply 'hazelnut' or 'semi-sweet' into the outer V to add a tad more dimension.

I really need to have a good play around with this pallet, as there are endless amounts of looks I could create! Which is why it's so great!

 

The last thing I'm going to mention about this pallet is the price. This is a high-end product, by a high-end brand, and believe me it doesn't come cheap! Its $49.00 which is around £32 ish (I'm no mathematician but Google is very clever). But believe me its definitely worth the splurge!

 

 

Thankyou so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed this lil' review (well not so little) and if you did please comment saying if you would like more, or comment anything you want me to write about! Thanks again :)

Also excuse my spelling errors if there are any!

And I apologise for the waves on some of the pictures, I don't know what happened but when I uploaded them onto my editing program (to add the water mark) they went all cray cray!

 

 



First Impressions

Hello all, my name is Fern and for quite some time now I've been thinking about starting a blog.
(I can honestly say I spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure out an interesting way to start this post, as I've never been great at first impressions...today isn't any different, but hey, I gave it my best shot)

I have a huge interest in Fashion, beauty and all that good stuff so I want to share my passion for it with other rather than just myself, and I thought a great way to do that would be with a blog, this blog to be more specific.
However I don't want to follow the crowd and make this a typical fashion, beauty and lifestyle blog, but I still want to share my passion, as I said before. So, as well as reviews, favourites, recipe's etc.. I will do fun things every now and then like tags, my thoughts and anything else that catches my fancy.

 As for the layout and design of this blog I still have some work to do. I'm so new to all this and I can honestly say, I have no idea how any of it works so you'll have to bare with me on that one.
The name of this blog is 'Forever Fern' because that's my name...(duh) and the 'Forever' part for many reasons, such as: I'll forever be me on here (cheesy I know,) and it's an alliteration with my name so it sounds great, but that's not the point here.

Finally, let me introduce myself a bit more.
I love to read blogs and watch youtube, like the majority of our generation do.
I'm British teenager and in case you didn't know, I am a girl.
I'm a complete and utter Disney crazy fangirl, even as I am writing this I'm watching Frozen. (but lets be real here, who doesn't love Disney.)
I swim a lot, it's my favourite sport.
I'm crazy about music and bands and all that jazz.
If you haven't noticed already I try to be funny...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
In general I'm pretty average, nothing special, no hidden super powers or anything like that.

I hope you feel like you know me a bit better, this was just a general introduction to this blog and myself. I hope you enjoy reading my blog and yeah, thanks for reading :D
