Januay Favourites and Exciting news.

Hello everyone,
So who else has had snow in the past week? I have yay.
I cant believe the first month of 2015 is over, bye January *wave*.
Anyway back to it,  so I have a Favourites post for you today. I have had some very obvious favourites this month, so I had no problem about what to mention.
Oh guys, I have got my Prom dress... Yes PROM DRESS, I'm so excited. Now I just have to purchase all of my *cough* luxury *cough* makeup and shoes. and I know this is early but when it comes to it, I will hopefully of started my YouTube so comment below if you want me to do a Get ready with me .
Also comment some questions for me to answer in a future Q&A blog post!

anyway onto the favourites...

lets goo..


Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation:
No matter how many other high street foundations I buy I always find that I go back to this one. It has incredible coverage and is long-lasting. It doesn't drain your skin but gives you a vibrant and fresh face and look. A great everyday affordable foundation.
 
Soap & Glory sexy mother pucker lip gloss:
On look another soap and glory product has been mentioned in my blog post; Surprise Surprise.
I only just realised a few days ago that I have used this Lip lacquer almost
every day in January. I creates a matte lip in a gorgeous pink/chocolate tone. Its not a sticky lp gloss, if you know what I mean.
 
Ysl, shadow duo:
Do you every go through your makeup collection and find a product you forgot  about? Well this is one of those moments. This is a gorgeous palette consisting of a chocolate tone, with a hint of glitter, and a baby pink tone. Both of these are highly pigmented and are stunning together creating a bronze/gold tone.
 
Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream:
 
I swear by this product I use t upon my lips and it gives them a plump and delicate feel. Leaving them smooth and hydrated for a long time.
 
Giorgio Perfume
 
I'm surprised that I have never wrote about this product before. I love it so much. It give a vintage smell but honestly its gorgeous, and its one of those smells tat you can recognise a mile off (well not quite a mile). I couldn't recommended this enough. A gorgeous long lasting smell.
 
 
 
Disney IPhone case:
So I got a new iPhone for Christmas, and I came home from school one day and my mum got me this, how cute is this case though. It may be a weird favourite but oh well, its super cute and practical so yeah .
 
What has been your favourites this month?
 
Thank you for reading,
Martha

The Big and the bold. (+ Q&A)



Hello,
So Big lips, ay.

Big lips have become a fashion nowadays;  The bigger, The bolder, The better!
I've never been one to do purple lips or black lips but I do occasionally go for a deep red. I've only really stepped into the colours of pinks, nudes and browns. 2015 is time  for a change so if you know any obscure colours or dark colours in lipsticks then comment below.

So anyway I realised that on weekends when I'm not busy at school, I have been using the same products on my lips to try and make them bolder but still quite subtle. I already have quite plump lips, if plump is a word you'd used, bold. This is a quick and easy look using;
Lip liner- Rimmel, 'East-end Snob' - buy:http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-Exaggerate-Lip-Liner_6938/
Lip crayon- No7 High Shine crayon in 'Daydreamer'- buy: http://www.boots.com/en/No7-High-Shine-Lip-Crayon_1310100/
Lip Gloss-  Max Factor- 20 angelic lip infinity.- I cant find it on the website but I saw this and its the same colour:http://www.boots.com/en/Max-Factor-Vibrant-Curve-Effect-Lip-Gloss-17ml_1039582/
Lipstick-  Clinque lip set, colour-Cranberry cream.

I used these in this order to do an opposite ombre effect.

what's your favourite lip look?

Makeup Holy grails .Makeup must haves!

Hey,
So me and my (blogger) friend were chatting and we came up with the idea to do a joint post; so once your done reading this make sure you go and check out Savannah's post here -- http://bloggersavannah94.blogspot.co.uk/.

I'm not going to ramble on in this intro as you can all guess from the title that this is my 'holy grails' or some of you might say 'top picks' from my makeup collection. I'm going to admit this right now okay.. it was Extremely hard to narrow down some of these to just 1 Product, I was on the verge of just doing 'Ennie Mennie '.

Your probably all saying 'Hurry up Martha' so I'm going to stop now ... enjoy.. okay I'm going to stop around about...hhmmm... Now!

I'm going to start with the fundamentals of makeup and for me that's face products , I have become a addict to bronzers, concealers etc. recently and I'm not afraid to admit it, okay !

So, if you have read my blog for a while you would have seen this foundation been mentioned a few times and it is the 'Bare minerals, Bare skin' foundation . Now I'm going to admit it when I apply it on my face before brushing it in, I don't know how to explain it, umm haha; it tends to feel really heavy and quite clumpy, but once you blend it t is so delicate and leaves you with a great coverage and natural looking glow!
Buy:http://www.boots.com/en/bareMinerals-bareSkin-Pure-Brightening-Serum-Foundation-SPF20_1518700/


Next on the list is Concealer now this is an extremely recent purchase and it has made t to the top of my list of concealers as soon as I tried it and of course it was the 'Stila' all da wear concealer, I'm not sure if they actually have it in stores in the UK , let me know if they do! But this give amazing coverage and isn't too heavy on the skin, and like it says in the name its all day concealer and I second that !
Buy:http://www.feelunique.com/p/Stila-Stay-All-Day-Concealer-1-4g

My favourite bronzer goes to Max factor , I have mentioned this in a few previous makeup post but , oh well I jus love the bronzed subtle glitter look it creates , and it last pretty much all day !
Buy:http://www.boots.com/en/Max-Factor-Bronzing-Powder_12640/

{I don't wear blusher on a everyday basis and its not really a must for me so I'm not going to mention any, and I haven't found a High-light that has blown me away yet so comment below if you know of a good highlighter .}

Now to eyes, If you know me I'm all for big eyes and I'm pretty much a 'Eye shadow addicted' so narrowing down a eye shadow single or palette was very difficult for Moi! BUT.. I stepped up to the challenge an of course it is my trusty 'Urban Decay Naked palette' oh yes, this bad boy! This has travelled around with me everywhere, I cant get enough of it1 A stunning array of colours !!
Buy:http://www.urbandecay.co.uk/eyes/eye-shadow/naked

Now eyeliner it has to be my 'Soap and glory' Supercat I just love the shape of the tip and how easy it is to use if you want to do winged eyeliner, although I have yet to master the 'perfect wing' *Cough* new years resolution!*Cough*
Buy:http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory™-Supercat™-Eyeliner-Pen-Carbon-Black-Extreme_1450229/

Last in the eye section as in not going to put favourite lashes in is Mascara. Mascara is the one product that if I had to choose to only live with one makeup item, that's what id keep. it can make you go from looking about 4 years old to looking well, your age!
Now hi product needs no fancy intro but if you have read my blog for a while you would have pretty much predicated this making a appearance .. Of course its the wonderful 'Soap and Glory Thick and fast' Mascara'! whoever made this deserves an award okay, that's all I'm saying !!
Buy:http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory-8482-Thick-Fast™-Super-Volume-Mascara-Superjet-Black_1238274/

For lips it has to be my 'Max Factor lipstick in English rose' its a stunning nude tone and has a soft moisturising  effect! A perfect one for any time of year !!
Buy:http://www.boots.com/en/Max-Factor-Colour-Elixir-Lipstick_1222517/


I hope you all enjoyed this post...

OH and I am thinking of doing a Q&A so ask some questions in the comments and I will hopefully have enough to do a post on it, Thank You !

OH Yes I Did !!


"Its Behind you "
"Oh no its not"
I love a good panto , who else does ?
I mean your never to old (Ever).
Well my mum and I decided that it was time to revisit, Birmingham to see the  panto Jack and The Beanstalk. Its pretty much become a tradion for us to do some retail therapy at the Bullring then go to see it. We've already guaranteed that we will be purchasing tickets for 'Aladdin' .
'Britain's Biggest pantomime' The spectacular line up consisted of Jane McDonald,Duncan James, Chris Gascoyne,Gary Wilmot ,Paul Zerdin, Matt Slack and Robyn Mellor. With  little bringing it back to home humour and some subtle adult humour , its a win for all the family .
The cast were superb , props to Paul Zerdin and his puppet sam , honestly don't know how he does it . I was beyond excited to see Chris Gascoyne since he is just an incredible actor , and I loved him as peter in coronation street and his performance was amazing as the villain !

The interaction with the audience is probably what makes it so enjoyable that the cast make you feel apart of it , From the songs to the shouting out !
Another thing that I love is how they don't re-act a story you know they mix it up adding a modern twist , but you can also still recognise the story .
And honestly the design of the stage and props was incredible , especially the giant and the 3d effect !!
If you live around the area i'd recommend you take a visit !
I now have a soar thought  from shouting and laughing , so all in all it was amazing .

Lets get physical . my 10 minute body workout , No weights .


Hello ,

So I know we can all be pressed for time now days . But I know how important fitness and a healthy lifestyle  is aswell .

So I have had a few request of doing showing you my 10 minute workout full body workout routine that is sure to get you a toned body . I do this when I don’t have much time after school or im just feeling lazy . If I had more time I would go on my rowing machine for around 20 minutes .Not only am I going to tell you my 10 minute routine but im also going to share with you some tips of maintaining a healthy lifestyle , A lot of these things are very luxurious  and calming .
 
 { The way to get the the best from your workout is to wear appropriate clothing , so make sure you have a gortex top or any workout top that allows your to move freely in and tight leggings that are of a appropriate material .}

 

So let’s get straight into it :

100 jumping jacks

20 sits ups .

50 mountain climbers .

High knees for 30 seconds

7 burpees

14 Frog leg crunches

1 minute flutter kicks

1 minute plank

40 seconds alternate leg raises crunches

1 minute alternate leg lunge .

15 sumo squats

30 minute static squat

30 second wall sit .

14  alternate plank rows (crossing over your leg and raising the opposite arm )

And that’s it it works all of body , but remember to do a warm up before otherwise your body will be aching after .

 

A few tips for maintaining a healthy life style :
Go for a 5 minute walk each day

Have hot steamy baths at least 1 a weak  , having a steamy bath , opens up your pores and removes impurities in your skin .

Have a green tea at night this acts to cleanse your body on the inside . I’d recommend getting Dr Stuarts tea .

Swap milk chocolate for dark chocolate a few times a week , the higher the percentage the better .


  Make sure you drink lots of water, have a glass before and after every meal .

Don’t eat any bulky or sugary foods within 1-2 hours before you go to bed as over night.

Make sure you get 5 or more a day.

Treat yourself , its been proven that people who have a bit of chocolate everyday can maintain a healthier diet that people who cut it out all together .

To all the girls, have a no makeup day a couple of times a week , to let your skin recover from all the chemicals .

Blast from the past /2014 favourites .

 

Hello,
So I know 2014 has been done with but for now i'm going to take you back and tell you about my 2014 favourites . So grab yourself a cup of tea and relax . I'm not going to go into too much detail with all of my favourites otherwise it will just get repetitive and boring , but if your curious about some of the items then comment and ill do a separate blog post about the product.
okay so lets jump right in .
I'm going to start with fashion favourites ...

1:
Okay so this hat is what I received as one of my birthday presents so a fairly late favourite  but I am addicted to big floppy hats and this is just such a gorgeous colour its almost like a camel colour , idk? But its perfect pretty much all year round and can be used to dress up an outfit .My dad got it in Covent garden but i'm afraid I don't know the brand .
 
 
 
2: So I'm pretty sure if you've red my blog post you'll know how much I adore this coat from Laura actually . It is a perfect fit and is so flattering on your body . I just love the contrast in tones on this coat . I love that this coat can make a simple outfit look so dressy .
 
3: Again if you red my blog post you'll know I wear these pretty much every day , They are pretty expensive but they are so comfty  and a beautiful colour and style.
 

4:Ignore the mud !!
But my Nike running trainers have been my saviour when I do workouts or running they are so comfy and have a great flexibility when your moving . I love the style and colour , with the glow in the dark print .
 
 
 
 
 
Beauty

In 2014 I discovered many beauty items that I have realised ive purchased a new times over and over !
5:I love , love , love this foundation from Maybelline . The formula is amazing , it gives you a fresh glow , and amazing coverage . This has been my number 1 all year round .
6:I don't think I need to explain my love for this . If you've red my blogs for a while   you would of guessed that this would be a favourite . it give great length and volume .
 
7:I have become a eyelashes 'Addict' over 2014 especially wearing individuals . They look so natural and give the effect of long lashes which I love . I apply these to the outer corner of my eyes , to create a beautiful bold eye .
 
 
8: I have done a previous blog post on this , earlier in the year ----> http://ne0nshinebeauty.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/rose-and-frankincense-face-cream.html .
 
9: Now I initially wasn't a fan of hand cream /balm but recently this has ben a life saver . I don't go anywhere I without it . A lovely smell and doesn't make your hands feel all slippery after using like many do . It soaks in beautifully .
 
 
 
Music :
1; George Ezra , Literally love his whole album its always on repeat . his song Spectacular rival has to be my favourite song .
2: One republic . Again love their whole album
3: McBusted . Okay can we just talk about how amazing they are together , like seriously I cant get enough of their album .

1: Frozen , just because I love Disney .

3: Inbetweeners 2 : Cant get enough of this a great sequel to the first .

Nip Fab Deep cleansing fix


Hello,
Do you struggle with this harsh cold weather ?
Often , even without you knowing your skin can become damaged just from simple things like the weather . I have recently been using this Nip Fab Deep Cleansing fix and it has worked wonders on my skin . The Deep Cleansing cream works for any skin type , that's perfect for me considering I have extremely sensitive skin .It acts as a moisturising mask that removers all traces of Face makeup, leaving your skin feeling silky smooth . You apply it to your face in an equal amount and leave it for around 10minutes then use a damp flannel to remove the cream . Every time I use this my skin is soft and glows, Bonus!
I would recommend this to anyone and any skin types whether you had sensitive skin or not .

Where to buy ?

Fireworks pop .. Last year stops


Hello,
I hope you all had a great night ,mwheter you were out and about or watching the fireworks around the world  ( how incredible were they ) .
My night got better and better we went out to Prezzo with some friends and had a lovely meal , the garlic bread with caramelised onions is so good , yum . Then we went back to their house and enjoyed a night of partying with a DJ set up and Jooles Holland . I have to say new year isn't something I celebrate as much as many of the other world wide holidays but I still had fun .with lots of lovely food , drinks , dancing , and company ,

I diddnt particularly dress up as such but I  thought I'd show you my look . I'm going to the sales at the weekend so I'm fearing for my bank balance .

Makeup .

I diddnt go for a very dramatic look that you may associate with party's , but I did try out some new makeup on my look . As you guys may ( or may not know) I love making my eyes big and bold , so of course my focus for this look was to accomplish this . I went for a colour I wouldn't particularly go for , Purple.
I started on my eyes by using the 'Bourjous colour edition ' in the colour ' Prune Nocturne' and applied that all over my eyelid , right into the corners .On top of that I used 'LOreal infallible eyeshadow' in the colour 'purple obsession to add a hint of glitter . I dragged that underneath my eye and blended it out to created a blurred affect . I used 'Soap and Glory thick and fast' on my lashes , I can't express my love for this mascara enough I creates longer and fuller looking lashes and beautiful bold eyes .recently I haven't used eyeliner as much since I've experimented with using eyeshadows instead , but I considered using my 'No7 Metallic eyes pencil' upon my waterline to create a glitter effect and a bolder looking Eye .  On my eyebrows I used my 'MUA , brow kit in dark ' to create definition .

On my face I used my 'bareSkin pure brighting serum foundation' in 002 . I love this foundation it is long lasting and give amazing covering and a natural glow without looking oily . Then I used my 'Rimmel match perfection foundation' in Ivory , instead of concealer to keep a longer lasting coverage under my eyes and forehead .To contour my face and add some colour I used the 'Bourjous paris maxi delight bronzer ' I only just got this bronzer but I love it at the moment as it isn't too heavy and blends out very easily . I don't wear blucher that much in the winter months as I get natural rosy cheeks from
 the harsh cold weather so I just applied my 'revlon highlighting Pallette ' in rose gold to create a natural glow upon my cheekbones .
On my lips I used my 'Soap and Glory sexy mother pucker lip shine ' in 'Charm offensive ' I just kept It a natural shine by using a neutral colour.


What I wore :
I just went for a casual but slightly dressed up look . Wearing my '' dorophy perkins jeans ' these jeans are honestly so flattering and so comfy .considering I'm not really a jeans person . I was wearing my 'Wallis navy blouse with a jewelled neckline . And my all time favourite boots 'Dune ladies next door'
Then as it's rather chilly at this time of year I just wore my Laura ashley coat , which I can't find on the website but it has been mentioned up in a hyperlink in one of my previous post .











Yes my dads shirt is loaded with guitars .



Me and my little brother walking complaining about the cold 


If you know my you know my love for pugs .
