OLG BLOG- Beauty Interview With: Stephanie/ EndlessBeautyXO

Learning tips and tricks about beauty is a fun way to learn about make-up!

Each Saturday LipGloss & CandyFloss will have a interview with a well known beauty guru/ blogger/ YouTuber or Make-up artist. I'm going to keep each interview to five questions; that cover a wide range of questions about beauty/ make-up and fashion.

This week is: Stephanie 

This week is the first of Beauty Interview with:  and is by Stephanie a beauty YouTuber, her
channel is called EndlessBeautyxo Her channel is perfect for make-up lovers!


Beauty Interview With:  Stephanie EndlessBeautyXO

1.Favourite make-up brand drugstore?
My favourite would have to be Maybelline because whether it is face or lips they always have quality products. I think overall they have the best range of products.

2.Your most recent beauty product that you have bought? Your opinion?
Surprisingly it's been a while since I've made a beauty purchase,but most recently I picked up a NYX blush in Terro Cotta. I've been loving it, it's the perfect bronzy glow for Summer

3. If you had your own make-up brand what would be the main/well known product? Why?
My brand would definitely be most known for it's lipsticks! If you're a follower of my channel you know that I'm a huge lipstick lover and I'd focus my line of cosmetics on the perfect lipsticks. 

4. favourite online store for fashion?
I love shopping online at Forever21, they have so much more stuff than in stores, they always have great deals and it's always on trend!

5. The main products in your skincare routine? 

I'm not huge on skincare, but I couldn't be without my Cetaphil Gentile Skin Cleanser and my Cetaphil moisturizer. I have super dry skin and they fit really well into my skincare routine

I want to thank Stephanie for working with LipGloss & CandyFloss!

OLD BLOG- Product Review: Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid


 902 Fuchsia Flash


When i think of Summer beauty and fashion the first thing that pops into my head is bright colours!

This Summer so far I have fell in love with pink all over again (I didn't think it was possible) So when I seen that Maybelline has a new line of bright lip sticks I wanted to try them! The one that I have been using for the past two weeks is 902 Fuchsia Flash: very bright neon pink. 

The first thing while applying Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids in shade 902 Fuchsia Flash i noticed was just how colourful and how much the neon colour stands out (not the natural 'no make-up' make-up look on any level).
Other than the colour; they're moisturising, feel soft and comfortable on my lips, and last longer than I thought it would throughout the day (saying that of course I still had to reapply after lunch etc) 

Price- £7.19 (Superdrug U.K)

If you think that the 902 Fuchsia Flash neon pink isn't for you don't worry there's other colours in the line-

  • 906 Hot Plum 
  • 910 Shocking Coral
  • 912 Electric Orange 
  • 916 Neon Red (next colour that I want to try)

OLD BLOG- Product review: Garnier Moisture Match- Shine Be Gone


Garnier has a new face moisturiser range... you might be thinking "Another moisturiser? God no!" 
But there's a twist... 

Trust me on this one!

Everyone (well 'we' know) knows that there are different types of skin, no surprise there, and that different types need different products. Rimmel Stay Matt foundation for combination/oily skin, Rimmel Wake Me up foundation for dull/normal skin and Chanel Perfection Lumiere foundation for luxury skin! 

Garnier understands different skin types leads skin with different needs. Welcome Moisture Match into your beauty world! Their new tailor-made moisturiser range which includes five moisturiser each for different skin types; from normal to oily. 



Here's what Garnier says about each of them:

Protect & Glow - normal skin 
SPF 20, lightweight and light reflecting pearls.
Yellow

Start Afresh - normal/dry skin
Ultra light, non-greasy and includes smoothing oils.
Blue 

Goodbye Dry - dry/very dry skin
Rich texture but non-greasy and includes ultralight oils.
Pink

Wake Me Up - dull skin
Oil free, feeling of hydration and lasts all day.
Peach

Shine Be Gone - combination/oily skin
Green tea extract, microspheres and a matt effect. 
Green


My Review: Garnier Moisture Match- Shine Be Gone

The reason why I chose Shine Be Gone over the others to try for myself and review is because I have combination/oily teenage skin. So I'm always looking out for new products that can help control the oils, keep my face matt for longer than half of the day and a good price! 

Information about Shine Be Gone-

Price - £4, but its on a discount in Superdrug for £2.98, I'm not of the date that the discount ends so pop into Superdrug ASAP.

Quantity - 50ml. Not too small not too big...perfect size.

Smell - green tea because thats included in the ingredients. The overall smell is clean and fresh. 

Added information - 24H hydration, mattifies skin and suitable for sensitive skin.

I have been using Shine Be Gone for over a week now and so far I'm happy with the outcome. My skin is a lot softer and throughout the day I can see that the oils in my T zone keep at bay for most of the day. It is quick to absorb which is handy when I'm applying my make-up in a rush because I don't have to wait long at all for the moisturiser to set in my skin. The one bad point I will say (but it's not even that bad) is the claim that it gives 24H hydration because i don't see my skin hydrated a whole day after I've applied it but thats just me and i never believe any products that claim to be more that 12H etc.








This months Company magazine (July 2013) has a page all about Moisture Match, what skin type you have and two free samples of the products to use and try!

OLD BLOG- Welcome to Lip Gloss and Candy Floss

Hi! Welcome to my blog. Which i've started on 11th of June 2013.

Before we go any further I'll tell you a little about LipGloss & CandyFloss. I've started my blog with only four days till my Summer - Four more days! Only two more GCSE tests left geography and maths (they've saved the best till last)- that means for the next two and a half months ill have a lot of free time to do what i want, so I'm planning on spending a good bit of that time finding ideas and products to tell you all about on LipGloss & Candyfloss.

The reasons why I chose the title LipGlossCandyFloss?
'lip gloss' is apart of the title to make sure you/other readers know that it's a make-up review, fashion loving , girly blog. You understand, right?
 'candy floss' is apart of the title to show...the cuteness and candy floss reminds me of pink and unicorns (To tell you the truth I have no idea why the title includes 'candy floss') but it rhymes!

I'm Hannah by the way! Why have i started blogging? I've been reading blogs and watching fashion/beauty videos on YouTube for over a year now and i enjoy learning tips and finding new products from the beauty gurus. For a while now I've wanted to try blogging out for myself. It looks like a fun hobby and its a great way for me to share my thoughts, views and opinions on products etc.

I can't wait to get into the swing of writing and start!
I'm planning to include-

  • Writing reviews on new make-up and beauty products
  • Writing about the new ranges in high street shops and online stores
  • My weekly fashion/beauty inspiration
  • My weekly favourite YouTube.com fashion/beauty related videos 
  • A list of my monthly favourite products 
  • And of course there will be a few weird very random posts! Sorry in advance...
