We took a trip up to London this month, which was amazing! We went to Harrods and bought a few souvenirs, between us we got two cosmetic bags and a note book. We also got a few bits from MAC.
The cosmetic bag we have linked isn't the same as the one show in our picture. We searched and searched for it online and we can't find it (must only be available in store).

Katie purchased the MAC Prep + Prime whilst in Harrods, it is an absolute god send! We can't rate it enough. You need it in your life, I think that's all we can say about it.

The Estee Lauder Double Wear is the best foundation we have used to date. It makes you look so flawless. It's got great coverage and stays on all day.

Rachel has a problem with eyeliner staying on, it always seems to smudge, she's tried so many and the only one that stays on for a long period of time with a good applicator is the Rimmel Glam Eyes.

The Nightwear Plus was a sample, but we will be investing in a pot of it when we run out. It makes our skin feel amazing, so light it doesn't feel like there is anything on your face.

The Balm palette is amazing we got this in Tk Maxx, we had been eyeing it up for weeks and we eventually decided to buy it. We have no regrets its honestly amazing, its so pigmented. They are the perfect shades for any skin type! Katie uses it everyday as part of her makeup routine.

With the bareMinerals powder foundation, we use a small amount as powder (we get an oily forehead), it just seems to do the trick without it looking caked. It has been out a lot this month.

Spice lip liner has become Katie's favourite colour to wear, it is so in trend and flattering. She has had lots of compliments wearing it mixed with myth lipstick.

Provocalips is such a wonderful liquid lipstick! It really does last when you put the top gloss on. They have many different colours some look similar to Kylie Jenner's range (we haven't been able to get our hands on Kylie's yet, so we can't compare). They stay on all day and are very alternative.

Ok...so the Creme eggs have been a thing this whole month. Rachel came home from the shop with the bucket full of them. There are 42 altogether. She just can't resist them, the thought of having to wait a year for them to come back depresses her.

A Look at Our MAC Lipstick!

We can't really call this a collection, it's just a little look at what we have so far. We don't have many, but we if you're anything like us you'll like looking at the shades no matter how few there are.

We have quite a dark pigmented lip and find that Velvet Teddy and Mehr are a nude on us. 

Easter Brownies!

 Serves 12

Ingredients:

150g Self Raising Flour

180g Butter

300g Sugar

1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

3 Eggs

1 Tablespoon of Cocoa Powder

80g Milk Chocolate

80g White Chocolate

Mini Eggs for Decoration

Icing sugar for some dusting

Method:

Pre heat the oven to 170ºC.

Melt the butter in a pan on a gentle heat, before it has fully melted add in the sugar.

Mix the flour and vanilla essence, then add the eggs and cocoa powder.

We melted the chocolate in the microwave, we put it on for 30 seconds and kept checking it until it melted.

The stir in the chocolate to the mixture.

We wanted a few chocolate chips in with the mixture too, so we chopped up some chocolate and added a couple of chunks.

Grease a baking tin, then pour the mixture in.

Then bake for 30 to 40 minutes. To check if ready, pearce the brownie in the center. If there's no mixture on the knife, that will mean it is ready.

Hope you enjoy making it as much as we did. They were very tasty!

Teeth Whitening Review!

Hi Guys,

I have been looking at reviews on teeth whitening products and I was so unsure.
 I noticed how white a family members were, I asked her she told me that it was Crest and she really recommended it. I would never had invested if our family member hadn't recommended it to me (it isn't the cheapest).

I tested the Crest 3D whitening strips and I am really impressed!

Here are my results...

The top is before and bottom is after:

There is quite a huge difference, I didn't realize how yellow my teeth were! I feel quite disgusted and embarrassed with how bad they were.

I started seeing results on the fourth day and in total (to achieve these results) I used seven days worth. I still have another seven left to use. The instructions say leave it on for thirty minutes, but I left it on for an hour, so that might be why i have achieved this result in such little time.
 I did read a lot of reviews saying that they made their teeth sensitive, but I already have sensitive teeth, so I wouldn't be able to tell.

My plan is to keep up with a whitening toothpaste and when I feel that they're not as white I'll do another strip!

In all I would definitely recommend these strips, I bought mine from this website: Crest 3D White

I hope this helps a little, as I could've done with reading a short, simple and non-sponsored review.
