OLD BLOG- News: Themed Weeks and Competition

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/9623291/?claim=k4byd8qu8bn">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>

Hello everyone, I hope you had a fun June!

First of all, I'm sorry that I didn't post last week... But i have a been planning my surprise for you!

I started LipGloss & CandyFloss last month (11th June) and had no idea that I would fall in love with blogging, sharing my thoughts and opinions on beauty products with all of you. So far, i have been blogging about reviews on products and beauty interviews.

In this time, I have realised the direction that I want to take LipGloss & CandyFloss. I thought i had started a fashion and beauty blog... But I have decided, my real passion for blogging is beauty and make-up. But that doesn't mean I don't like fashion any more, don't be crazy! I don't plan on cancelling my monthly Vogue Subscription any time soon. I just find blogging about new products and writing reviews on make-up, more fun than blogging about fashion, at this present time anyway. Yes, there will still be beauty interviews as normal.

 But I have an idea for July... Themed weeks! This means, that each week in July, the blog posts on LipGloss & CandyFloss will have a theme. Of course, they'll be about beauty products, don't worry I won't be having shark week like the Discovery Channel.

Below is each week and the themes!

• 1st-7th = Skin Care Week

• 8th-14th = Nail Polish Week
• 15th- 21st = Hair Products Week 
• 22nd- 28th= ???

You might be thinking 'What theme is 22nd-28th?' That's the fun part, you chose!

Yes, I'm letting the readers of LipGloss & CandyFloss have their say on what they want the theme to be. 

Have an idea? 

All you have to do is follow LipGloss & CandyFloss on Twitter @LipGloss_CandyF and tweet your idea including #LGCFTheme. 

The winning theme will be posted on Twitter @LipGloss_CandyF and Instagram @LipGlossCandyFloss on the 20th of June. The winner also gets work with LipGloss & CandyFloss by having their own beauty interview, the past beauty interview have been with beauty YouTuber Stephanie/EndlessBeautyxo and online fashion store owner/popular Instagramer  Hayley/FashionBeautyFitness.

OLD BLOG- Product Review: MUA Lipsticks

Everyone loves a  bargain! It's true fact that people won't spend more than they need to... But when it comes to make-up there is high end, middle brand and (as Americans call it) drug store. Make-up brands are placed in order of price and some times you do get the quality of what you've paid for...

But not with MUA lipsticks!

I have been buying MUA (Make-up Academy) products for over a year and I love every product that I have bought. The best part of MUA is that all products are under £7! Which is crazy because some other make-up brands products start at £7. I remember when I first started to buy from MUA every product was £1 but now there is a bigger selection of products, which has lead to some being sold more than £1. Their colour nail polish is still £1, they are honestly the best quality and long lasting. I couldn't ask more from the nail polish especially when they are only cost £1.

 MUA is only sold in Super Drug Uk but don't worry their website sells all of their products and ships world wide http://www.muastore.co.uk/index.php/ 




Most recantly I have bought three lipsticks from MUA shade 5, shade 12 and shade 15 Juicy. 
Overall I love each lipstick! I can't ask for more from the quality to the long lasting finish. They keep my lips soft through out the day and on the lips the colour is true to what the lipstick colour is.

Shade 15 Juicy isn't my usual lip colour! I love and only wear pink lipsticks/ lip glosses. As theses lipsticks are only £1, I bought it as I have nothing to lose...
 It's a nude lipstick with pink as the main colour and doesn't have any glitter. So far i have used it as an everyday lipstick when I'm not wearing too much make-up. Just like the rest of the MUA products I love this! I didn't think I would because its not my usual choice of lipstick but I have wore it a few days and the quality is amazing for only £1.



                                       
Shade 5 is a lovely pretty light pink with shimmer. Again I have no complains about this lipstick, the shimmer is just the right amount to add shine to the lips not doesn't make them look like they're covered in glitter either. The best part about this lipstick (other than the price) is that I'm able to wear it with any make-up look.




Shade 12 is the most eye catching of all three. This is my favourite and the one I have wore the most! The colour is a Barbie pink with shimmer. Don't worry, the shimmer is just the perfect amount, like the shimmer in shade 5. This lipstick does look its best when I have full face make-up because that balances the brightest of the lipstick.

OLB BLOG Product Review: Herbal Essences Sensuously Smoothing Intensive Mask

Hi! For the first time on LipGloss & CandyFloss I'm going to review a hair care product;  Herbal Essences Sensuously Smoothing Intensive Mask. I'll be honest and tell you that I didn't do any research or had read about it on other blogs...I bought it because I have been using Herbal Essences products for about 3 years and I trust the brand and their products.

                                          

                                          

I want to start using more hair care products because I'm going on holidays (3 weeks tomorrow) and want to make sure that my hair will be protected from the sun, the heat and washing it everyday!

 I was shopping in my local Tesco, just buying a few things, when I seen the Herbal Essences Sensuously Smoothing Intensive Mask. The bright orange packaging is very eye catching and hard to miss! It was also on offer from £5 to £2.50: so I thought it was a great time to buy and try using before I go on holidays!

Herbal Essences Sensuously Smoothing Intensive Mask have different masks for different types of hair. I bought 'for dry/ damaged/ fizzy hair' because underneath my hair is fizzy and my hair may become damaged while I'm on holidays. 

The smell is what I love about this product! And the smell stays in my hair for a day or two after its been washed and I've used the mask. On the packaging it says that it includes 'mandarin and pearl extracts' so I'm guessing that's what the smell is... 
I have used the product three times over the space of two weeks and each time I left it in my hair for about 5mins to let it work its magic. After my hair it did feel softer and underneath was a little less fizzy. 

Overall I'm disappointed with this mask because I was hoping that their would be more effect on the overall condition on my hair. I will be using till I buy a new hair mask but I won't be buying this again.

OLD BLOG- Beauty Interview with: Kimberley/ Rubenesquex3

I'm posting twice today because I'm so excited that Kimberley (also known as Rubenesquex3 on her YouTube channel as a beauty vlogger) agreed to work with LipGloss & CandyFloss by answering a beauty interview. I have been following her channel for about four months and love watching her videos because she very funny and has a honest view on the beauty products. 

1.Favorite make-up brand drug store and high end?

I'd have to say my favorite drugstore brand would definitely be Maybelline. I'm never disappointed with their products and the packaging is always super fun! As for high end, I think I'm going to go with the stereotypical answer of MAC. The amount of eyeshadows and lip products they have to choose from is insane and I'm always happy with the quality of their product.

2.Your most recent beauty product that you have bought? Your opinion.

I've been really good recently and I haven't purchased that many products!! A few weeks ago however, I bought one of the lipsticks from the Maybelline 'Vivids' collections (I believe it was the color Vibrant Mandarin) and I'm completely obsessed! I'm usually a neutral kind of girl when it comes to my lipsticks but for some reason I'm loving all the bold & bright colors from Maybelline!

3.The nail polish that you wear the most often? 

This is probably the most difficult question anyone to ever ask me! I wear certain polishes depending on the season, so right now I'm loving the pastels from Sally Hansen's 'Hard as Nails' line. Her polishes are pretty much a staple item for me around this time of year- right now I have on the color 'Coral Reef' and I've been getting tons of compliments on it! The best part? It's only $3 and it's better than most of my high end polishes.

4.Favorite online shop for clothes/fashion? 

To be honest, I don't shop online too often. I seem to have bad luck with finding the right sizes online and I always end up returning everything. 

5.The main products you use in your skincare routine?

Istart off with my X-Out Shine Control in the mornings to help reduce the oil in my face during the summer. As for a face wash, I use the Clean & Clear Morning Burst (...at night, lol) and that usually takes off most of my makeup but I'll use makeup wipes (Target Up & Up brand! Woo!) to take off eye makeup that may still be left on my face and I finish with Clinique Dramatically Different moisturizer to keep my skin hydrated. I've used the combination of products for about a year now and I have no complaints! 

Make sure that you go to her channel and watch her videos if you don't already because you'll love them!

I want to give a big thank you to Kimberley for working with LipGloss & CandyFloss!

OLD BLOG- Product Review: China Glaze- Pink Voltage

I will be writing a review on Flying Dragon and Turned Up Turquoise next

Hi everyone! Sorry that I didn't post yesterday i was busy sorting my room and shopping but don't worry I bought loads of new products to try and review for you.

 Today I am reviewing nail polish which is my favourite thing to shop for: I love the rows of nail polish rainbows! I was shopping in Sally's and picked up three Chain Glaze nail polish. The best part was the offer of buy three get one free; always nice to save money. The first nail polish I'm reviewing is Pink Voltage. (I will be reviewing the other two...after I get time time to wear them)

Chain Glaze- Pink Voltage 

Cost - £5.49 (Sally's UK)

Amount - 14ml

As you may know I love pink! Yes I'm one of those girls... I have my blonde hair and blue eyes to prove that it's in my blood to love anything and everything pink. But it was the brightness of this colour that attracted me to the bottle. 

Applying the nail polish was easy. Two coats were needed. Short drying time. Overall a simple nail polish to apply with no problems until I seen the finish was matt... I love long glossy nail so I was annoyed to find out that it was a matt nail polish. More so because the word 'matt' isn't anywhere on the bottle! So I hated the polish from the beginning to be honest. But I still loved the colour because it was bright and a lovely pink.

 I have been wearing this nail polish from Monday night (it's now 12:30am Wednesday morning. Yes I should be sleeping...) and I have grown to enjoy having matt nails because its something different and I want to find more nail polishes with a matt finish. The nail polish hasn't chipped yet and still looks great but it's only been one full day so I don't know yet how long it takes for chipping to start (I'll tell you when I find out) 

Overall I love the end result and quality of this product and can't wait to try the other two.

OLD BLOG- Beauty Interview with: Hayley/ fashionBeautyFitness

Beauty interview with: Hayley

1. Favourite make-up brand drug store and high end? 
I love anything that smells incredible however, Lush (www.lush.com) won me over instantly. The fresh handmade cosmetics are incredible. Everything from their Curly Wurly Coconut Shampoo to Blueberry Face Masks; I'm in love. Their products transport you to another hemisphere just with the smell and you feel vibrant, revitalised and ever so radiant after using them.

2. Your most recent beauty product that you have bought? Your opinion?
Calvin Klein 'The One' black mascara - It applies perfect and even coverage without even trying! I also love that it is long lasting, waterproof and never smudges.

3. If you had your own make-up brand what would you call it and why?
I am honestly not sure! I am terrible with coming up with names. But definitely a word or phrase that conveys 'fresh, radiant and organic' 

4. Favourite online shop for clothes/fashion? 
Considering I have my own online clothing store -www.borntobechic.com.au I'd be lying if I didn't say mine was my favourite.Of course the perks of owning your own online clothing store is that you get to go shopping every week but get paid to do it! 

5.The nail polish colour you wear the most? 
Turquoise - I have finally found the perfect shade by Australis called 'Sweet Pea' 

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