New video!

Had to film a super quick and speedy video today as I was kind of busy and needed to get it out of the way. I wore this look in my last video (my haul video) so I thought I would re-create it into a getting ready video for you guys!

My Wish List...

MMy second post of the day- again! Maybe I really am getting into the jist of this blogging! 

So as I said in my last post, I am laid in my hospital bed at the moment, so I'm pretty unable to film/ do decent posts, so I thought I would make a post about my makeup/beauty wish list :) 

More MAC lipsticks- 
I am pretty mad for these lipsticks right now, and currently on my wish list are;
* Candy Yum Yum and 
* Creme Cup. 

stila in the light eyeshadow palette. 
After reading so many reviews, and watching so many tutorials with this palette, I have kind of fell in love. I do own quite a fair bit of eyeshadow, but I am desperate for this in my collection! 
YSL lipstick in Peach Passion
I love everything about this lipstick despite the ridiculous price tag!  


Benefit Boi-ing Concealer 
My mum owns this, and I am so desperate for a really good concealer, I love Benefit- so this concealer is on my wish list. 

MAC Foundation
I know literally nothing about MAC's foundations apart from that they are very highly recommended, so this is right at the top of my list! 
MAC Pro Palette for Eyes
I'm going to stop now, before it gets stupid, but I have wanted to make my own palette using the MAC eyeshadows for a while now..  P.S sorry for the picture, it's the only one I could really find on google. 


So thanks a lot for reading! I will post more tomorrow, unfortunately I cannot make a video tomorrow :( but as soon as I can I am ready to record a new getting ready video. 
Bye for now!

120 eyeshadow palette review!

So if you saw my latest YouTube video, you would have seen this gorgeous bargain of an eye palette featured in it. So today I am gonna write a small review on it- sadly my swatches are on paper, as I am in hospital at the moment and am writing this in my bed on my phone! Eek, anyway I apologise that I can't take many photos of the actual palette because I would look a bit strange just sat here snapping pictures of an eyeshadow palette on my phone wouldn't I?

So there are 12 lines of 10 eyeshadows and I have swatched them in groups of 10. I am sorry if the pictures are awful quality but this is the best I can do in hospital.. 
Line 1- it consists of whites/greys and blacks (basically the smokey eyes line!!)
Please ignore all the writing, it's my post in my blog book which I do often. So as you can see they are very pigmented and I cannot wait to try out some sort of smoky eye look using these 10 shadows! 

Line 2- it has some really lovely green and blue shadows. 

Here I killed 2 birds with one stone and also snapped line 3! 
Line 3- purple line! 
This line is great for some wacky looks I can't wait to experiment with! 

Line 4- purples and pinks 
This line would probably have to be one of my favourites because it's so pretty and girly! 

Line 5- pinks/ red
Yet again, this features line 6 too! 

Line 6- neutrals! 
This line could be the most used for me, most definitely! 

Line 7- light blues/aqua
Line 8- dark blues/ purples

These 2 lines could be perfect for a mermaid eye makeup look. (*hint hint*)

Line 9- greens 

Line 10- greens 
There are literally so so many greens in this palette! :) 

Line 11- Yellow/ Gold/ Bronze- 

Line 12- yellow/ orange
I just love the last 2 lines, they are so bright and different! I can't wait to try something interesting with these! 

So overall, I would really recommend this eye palette, to everyone actually, but mainly to people who are just starting out in makeup and eyeshadow. They are brilliant pigmentation too! 

Pros- 
A majority of the shadows are highly pigmented, 
•  a HUGE variety of different colours, 
great value for money,

Cons- 
it smells a bit artificial and powdery,
• it suffers from quite bad fall out,
• some of the shadows aren't quite as impressive on the eye as they look in the pan. 

There are definitely good reasons to buy this gorgeous palette, and at £5.99 for 120 eyeshadows, you really cannot go wrong. 

Find it here- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261087588319?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 for an AMAZING £5.99 including postage! :) 

So I hope I may have tempted you into parting with some cash, but believe me you won't regret it! :) 
Bye for now lovelies

Beauty Things I Suck at Tag

I think I am getting into the jist of blogging now reader! :) I am writing my second blog post of the day! This must be some sort of world record for me, someone just give me a medal or a blue Peter badge please :) 

So this next post is the very popular 'Beauty Things I Suck at Tag!' Which pretty much every beauty YouTuber/blogger has done, so I thought I would take this opportunity to do my own! I have to warn you- I am 14 and in no way shape or form a makeup artist or anything like that- so I suck at a fair selection of beauty things... Anyway, on we go.. 

1- Liquid Eyeliner, no screw that, any eyeliner in general!
So okay- A LOT of people cannot do this, but yet when I watch other tutorials and getting ready videos people do it so effortlessly, and I have to say that then makes me go away and try it myself. I say 'it isn't hard at all' and then screw it all up and mess it up. I can't do it now, and no matter how much I practice- I don't think I will ever be able to master the arts as much as I would love too! 

2-  plucking my eyebrows
I have always been terrible at this, and I always tend to neglect my eyebrows and avoid having to pluck them. But those days come where either someone says something about you having bushy eyebrows, or you look in the mirror and see a caveman staring back THAT'S when my tweezers come out. Most often than not I ask my lovely mum to do them for me, as I just can't get the hang of it and sitting plucking away at strays bored me to death. Sorry to all you pristine eyebrow mad people, but I like to leave my eyebrows until I am on the verge of turning into Sully from monsters inc...

3- plaiting hair 
Ask anyone who knows me, and they will know how useless I am at plaiting hair. My best friend Kiera actually sat me down and tried to teach me step by step by speaking really slowly, but I am such an impatient person, and I just get wound up and it ends up looking like a big knot in my hair and not a beautiful braid. No matter how much I try and practice ( i am desperate to learn to fishtail plait) I just cannot do it :( 

4-  Hair
I've never been good at anything to do with hair, mainly because my hair is so hard to work with. It is really curly and thick and I can't do anything with it. I can't straighten it, I can't do anything whatsoever. I do believe that if I was blessed with lovely straight hair at birth that I would be half decent at hair, but literally the amount of people who say they love my hair, and all I do is wash if, leave it to dry naturally and then just comb it? I don't use any products or anything. I think it could be that I am too lazy to do my hair maybe... 

So I am leaving it at this now, and I hope that you have enjoyed laughing at how bad I truly am at makeup and beauty.. Please don't unfollow my blog... I hardly have any followers as it is... Okay I'll stop rambling now. 

Bye for now yazzibooers! :) 
More posts tomorrow

My Top 10 Summer Nail Polishes!

So There   So you should all know now how much I love nail polishes, so I thought I'd do a post on my current top 10 nail polishes for the summer! 
So here they are, in colour order as best as I could do- and there is a great variety of different colours here! We'll start with the yellows; 
L-R: Orly- 'Lemonade' and Chine Glaze- 'Sunshine Pop'

I really struggled to take a good photo of these two, but basically the orly is a really  banana-ry kind of yellow, and really pastel, and sunshine pop is really bright and neon yellow. I love both of these nail polishes and I would really recommend them for the summer! 

L-R: GOSH- 'Peachy Rose' and Maybelline- '343'

Yet again, I struggled to get them in their true colour on camera, but peachy rose is a light orange, leaning towards a peach colour, which I really love. The maybelline is more of a coral colour, which is very bright and perfect for the summer with a tan! 

L-R: Models Own- 'Pink Punch' and OPI- 'Elephantastic Pink'


So here there are 2 very different shades of pink, Pink Punch is a very vibrant, neon colour- actually from the models own neon summer collection. It dries matt which I personally don't like, but you can add a topcoat if you wish. On the other hand, Elephantastic Pink is a kind of bubble gum pink, which is really lovely all year round, but I especially love it in the summer months. 

L-R: Essie- 'Lilacism' and Essie- 'Mint Candy Apple'

So these colours are probably my most used nail polishes in my whole collection, as pastel nails are perfect all year round in my opinion. Lilacism is a beautiful lilac which looks so lovely with a tan too! Most of you will have heard of the popular Mint Candy Apple, as it is probably essie's most popular nail polish, and if you buy it you can totally see why! It's a gorgeous minty bluey green colour which I go loco for in the summer. 

L-R: Essie- 'Beach Bum Blu' and Essie- 'Mojito Madness'

So last, but not least is 2 more Essie's! And these ones are darker than the others. Beach Bum Blue is a really gorgeous mettalicy blue that looks great on holiday, and on your toe nails as well as your finger nails! Mojito madness is kind of a grassy green, which is nothing like any nail polish I would usually go for, but surprisingly I am loving it this summer  as it is a really quite bright green.  


So here's one final photo, where you may be able to see the true colours. And I hope that you have enjoyed reading my first long blog post in a while, and I hope I haven't bored you at all! 

Bye for now!

Blogging

So I haven't really gotten into the jist of blogging for a while now, and I really want to begin turning into an avid blogger... 
So from this day on I am going to make a pledge to post AT LEAST one post a week- if this doesn't happen, then I do apologise! 

In the meantime, I have been frequently posting YouTube videos which you can check out by searching for 'yazziboo' on YouTube, and subscribing to my channel as I've been posting around 2-3 videos a week! 

That's all for now, and I will maybe post a bit of something tonight. 

Bye lovelies!
