YouTube Channel| Ugly Beauty Blog

So I made a YouTube channel!  I mentioned before in a blog post that a want to start a YouTube channel and so I did with the help of http://simplybeautybylauren.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1 and http://everythinginwonderlandd.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1.  Lauren has also started a channels and Alice has had a channel for a while so she helped us set up everything and have the confidence to start because sitting In front of a camera is hard just to sit there and talk to a camera but I did it.  Alice and Lauren both have get channels and I think you should subscribe to them and check out my channel there will be vlogs, makeup tutorial, games and much more funny over there. If there is any videos you would like to see comment them or tweet them to me @uglybeauty1998 This is my first vlog of summer in the city it not great but it can only get better https://youtu.be/Blh6JubISSo So this is all I have for this blog I hope you enjoyed :) xx

SITC|Ugly Beauty Blog

Image
So on the 13th of August 2016 I attended my first YouTube event with my friends. There was four of us so we had to go in two groups. Summer in the city is one of the biggest YouTube events in the uk the vent is held in London it's for YouTube creators and fans to come together in one place and meet there is also live performances and talks. Summer in the city has been running since 2009 and more people learn about it each year. You get to meet you favourite YouTube everyone is in one place and it a nice atmosphere but it was very pack everyone wanted to be some where the meet and great line was so long but we all got there at the right time and didn't have to wait long to meet the creators. So the first person me and my friend meet was mark ferris he was so lovely and very which kind of scared me a bit but we had a little chat and a picture and that was that until his vlog came out and me and my friend found out we where in it. In between these we meet B...

Never Forget...

Image
So I know I haven't blog in a while but I was meant to post on Sunday and I wrote it and everything but I forgot to post it and it wasn't that good anyway but I am back!  This post is going to be hard for me to write because I going to be talking about the family members I have lost over the years mainly my grandma and grandad. This post was inspired by my Auntie as she was talking about them the other day. So first person I lost was my grandad I was very young and didn't really know what was going on, I was too young to understand everything. My grandad was my best friend (I never called him grandad I used to call him 'bud' or 'buddy) I done everything with him, mostly garden with him. He was always outside doing something and if you tried to find him that first place you would look is outside the second place would be inside having a cup of coffee and a biscuit with my grandma.   I remember the times when my bud would carry me home (we ...

A Life Without Internet!

So last week I was away camping and I had no internet (it was horrible) but it made me start thinking about when no was young and how I used to always be outside I don't know what was on the Internet but now I am mostly always on the Internet and I don't know what I would do without it.  Whenever I am bored I go to the Internet my life is the Internet that is how I talk to most people (unless I am out) and to have a week without it was so painful I didn't know what you do with myself it was raining windy and I could be outside I was stuck just watching the rain run down the window or colouring I was very anxious because I had to socialise with people for so long I couldn't lock myself away and watch YouTube I had to sit and listen and talk back and it wasn't that I had no internet it was the fact I couldn't plug myself in watch YouTube and just have me time. What I want to know is what would you do without Internet?  I know this isn't a great blog pos...

The Liquid Lipstick Test.

Image
So the other day me,SimplyBeautyByLauren and Everythinginwonderland went to centre parks with the college to look around the spa and we walk down to the big pools to go on the slides and rides anyway I am getting sidetracked we wanted to test liquid matte lipsticks and see how long they would last we all have different so I when drugstore with revlon, Lauren went with Kylie Jenner and Alice had mac. The Spa So I failed at this because the liquid lipstick did last long as I wiped it off because I forgot I have it on but before this we ate and apple each and mine came off a lot eating that. Alice and Lauren lipstick were still going alice one was a little patchy and started to flake, lauren had faded a little but they both looked fine. The Big Pool After going on the slides/rides we had a look at how the lipstick turn out alice had flaked a lot and there wasn't much left in the middle of her lips there was not much colour there but around the outside of her lips there  was a lo...

Contouring/highlighting

Image
I have found a way I love to contour and I thought I would share it with you :) First you have to put down a base for you contour so using loreal infallible sculpt  and real techniques expert face brush to apply a light cover after that we can start contouring. so when I start contouring I start with a cream contour the one I use is W7 catwalk face shaper I apply this with the brush that came wit the pallet in these places... then I blend that in with the brush I used for foundation (expert face brush). after that is all blended in I go over it with revolution bronzer using real techniques contour brush. Then i move on to highlighter I use the highlighter for the revolution pallet and put that on the top of my cheekbones to apply this I use my fingers as I didn't have a brush but I have now brought one. This is all I have for this week I hope it was helpful see you next week :) xx

Foundation story and 3 for 2 in superdrug

Image
So I went to superdrug to buy some foundation and they had 3 for 2 on all makeup and nails stuff so I wasn't going to let that go to waste so I picked up the foundation (True match) one I have been dying to get checked the colour and everything then I had two other things I could get so I also got revolution pro fix oil control fixing spray and tanya burr eye palette in fairytale and with this you got a #nofilterneeded bag. Then I got home and tried the foundation and it was the wrong colour so I went back and done the 3 for 2 again getting the right shade of foundation which is loreal infallible sculpt and two lip products barry m loud mouth in diva and a rimmel kate in 107 so this is my foundation story I hope everyone check there foundation carefully and gets the right colour  because it's annoying when you don't. That is all I have for this blog post I will see you next time :) xxx

March Favourites

Image
This blog post is a little late and I don't think I have done a favourites in a long time so I just want to share what I have been loving. Sleek Brow kit - I have this product in dark and I love it I feel  it's like the benefit brow zing but this is more affordable it comes with a wax and a powder and is very good to travel with because there are brushes and tweezers.  Jondana Best Lash Extreme- I love this mascara It's very black and it not like any other mascara it make you lashes look thicker and longer and I would recommend this to anyone. P.s love... Eyeliner- This help me do the perfect winged liner and I would recommend this to anyone. M.A.C Twig- This lipstick is my go to if I want a lipstick but don't know what I will go to this. Real Techniques brush cleansing palette- This made my brushes look like new and they feel so soft I would recommend to people would don't clean their brush that often. 5 Second of Summer Sound Good Feels Good- I just love...

I can't wait till it's over

when I go back to college we have about 13 weeks to do everything work experience, assignments, assessments. I don't think I am ever going to pass I can't do this these so much to do in so little time the only thing getting me though is that after this I am in the real world but I will miss not see everyone most day and I probably will not know what to do with myself most days but when I go back I have a maths exam which is the same week as my driving test and then then next week I have english exam and then I have an beauty exam and another english exam sometime after that but these is just so much going on and i just can't wait till all the stress is over. I am just getting myself stressed and worked up over this and I know I probably should but how can I not. Somedays I just fear talking to new people and I don't why but that doesn't help me because that is what I have to do for every client. Before I started college I got today beauty wasn't for me I was s...

Cargo Palette #1 Make up

Image
So to start with I done my base using 2true pro bb beautiful foundation and 2true concealer using a beauty blender to blended it all in. Then I primed my eyes with barbara daly make-up eye primer using my finger to blended it in after priming my eyes I used rose from cargo summer in the city palette all over my lid which is a pink with gold shimmer through it then in my crease I used pool party from the same palette applying it with the brush in the palette which is a little purple and using the black eyeliner running  it on the waterline using roof top in the inner corner and seventeen  mascara. On my brows I used w7 brow bar mixing 3 and 4 together then on my cheeks I used no7 blush in soft damson then on my lip i used a lip liner that i don't were it came from and it doesn't have a name sorry :/ but the lipstick on top of it is miss sporty spiced rum. I look very tried that it for today see you next time :) xxx

NO MORE 2TRUE!!

So I went in superdrug the other day to find out they have stopped selling 2true WHAT! so now I have to find a new brand to get my foundation from so if you have any suggestions please let them in the comments (much love xx) but that brand was my go to brand to buy anything so I need a go to brand that is cheap so MUA is now one of them unless I find a new one but it wasn't just me that was upset (not sure that is the right word) about the news one of my sister also used this brand for foundation and most of her makeup is made up of 2true we have been using this brand for years (I was using it when I started wearing makeup) I am  not sure if you can buy it online anymore but I don't like buying makeup online well eyeshadows, eyeliners and lipstick are fine but I mean like foundation because you can't test what colour is right for you it's ok if you used that foundation before because you know what colour is right but if you haven't you could end up with one that t...

Tanya Burr Lip Glosses

Image
Today I am going to be reviewing the Tanya Burr lip glosses because I have a lot of them (9) so let get to it :) I love these lip glosses I'm not a big fan of glosses but these are one I do wear a lot. The colour range is lovely from your nudes to your dark purples/reds. There is only two things I don't love about this product and that is they all smell of sweet which sometime is nice but it is very sickly and I also don't like that when you apply them and rub your lips together you have like a ring around your lips where the product has been pushed to the edge of your lips and there is not much left in the middle. The product is pigmented but it's buildable. The colours Daydream- This colour is a lovely nude great for Everyday. Afternoon Tea- This is a baby pink colour lovely for an Everyday look. Chic- This is more of a pech good for Everyday. Aurora- This is more of a darker pink good for Everyday. Aphrodite- This is more of a r...

New things !!!

Image
So lately I have spent a bit of money on myself and I know it sounds weird but most of the time all I spend money on driving which I guess is on my but I never really buy something I can keep and use so the other day I was with http://simplybeautybylauren.blogspot.co.uk/ (she is amazing and i love her :D) and we made a deal if she brought something I would and like there was not going back haha anyway I bought a Eyeshadow palette from cargo called summer in the city from £7.99. Then The next day I brought a Makeup brush cleaning set by real techniques for £13.00 from superdrug which I have yet to try out but It look like it going to be good. I am looking forward to using these products and updating you on them. Also http://simplybeautybylauren.blogspot.co.uk/ is challenging me to post 2 times a week for the next 3 weeks. That is all I have for today so see you next time :) xxx

Primark Vs MUA Eyeliner

Image
So today I thought I would tell you about two Liquid Eyeliners I have been using or trying to uses so I was running low on eyeliner and I wanted a cheap one which wouldn't break the bank so for £2 i got MUA wet look eyeliner. This Eyeliner I have high hopes for as I love MUA product I didn't think it was going to be bad, this eyeliner is very black and I love that and it doesn't move although it very hard to remove and the brush isn't a brush it's a sponge which doesn't really move so it make your eyeliner very thick. So I was talking to my sister and she was like do you want this one which was P.S. Love which is from primark. So I tried this eyeliner and loved it the brush is so easy to make a wing with and you can quickly remove mistakes it's not the blackes but you can build the colour up this is a first eyeliner I can make a perfect wing with. So I think when the primark eyeliner is empty I'm going to wash the brush and keep it and use it wit...

Mini Review - Maybelline Lip gloss

Image
I have had this lip gloss for a while now and I have tried it over and over again the colour I have is glame 6 which is purple and it pigmented for a lip gloss but when you rub your lip together when you have it on it wipe the colour away so the outside of your lips are really dark and the middle just really light and it leaves you with the line from where you rubbed your lips together. The applicator put the product in one place and you kind of have to spread it around it's very easy to blend also it's sticky but not too sticky. The packaging it lovely and compact so it's great to travel with, also they have lot of different colours probably most of the colours you can think of. I would not recommend this product also I love maybelline but this one product let me down better luck next time Anyway that it for this weeks post I will see you next week :) *this picture is not mine it is from google*

FREAK OUT!

So this week was half term and I have done nothing apart from put makeup on my face, sit around watching youtube videos and walk downtown by myself. So most people would be like why are you putting makeup on if you're not doing anything will I like to make different looks and use different products and stuff like that. But what I really wanted to talk to you about was me going downtown by myself I don't think I have ever been to my home town by myself I think this was the first time and I hated it my mum asked me to get bread and I needed Eyeliner and that is why I went and when I got there in my head all I kept saying was 'I hope I don't see anyone I know because then I will have to talk to them and I don't know what to say' as well as 'I don't want to get to the till and have to talk a lot to someone, this is going to be so awkward I don't know what I am doing' I when in to freak out mode when I had finished I was fine after that. Anyway ...

First Impressions

Image
Number 7 Heated Eyelash Curler, is small compact so it would be good for traveling but always keep an AAA battery close by as you don't really want to have curled one eye and the battery runs out, the curler get pretty hot very quickly which is good if you are in a rush and you don't have a lot of time to sit and wait for it to warm up. I tried the curler without mascara on and it didn't really look like it done anything but I don't know if i was doing it right as it like a comb and I was kind of scared to put heat near my eye as you can feel the heat holding it close to my eye. I also tried it with mascara one I know you are meant to curler your eyelashes before mascara as it can break your eyelashes  but it did think it would because it a comb shape and you are not pushing against anything it seemed to work a little better with mascara but not a lot. This is just my first impression of this product I am going to keep trying it and see if I can work it out  as I ...

M.A.C Lipsticks Review

Image
So I thought I would write a review on my m.a.c lipsticks today I have 3 lipsticks which I am very lucky to have I have wanted a m.a.c lipstick probably when I started to watch a lot of youtube and I thought I would probably never get one I had told my parents/sisters  a long time ago that I wanted one anyway it got to christmas and I got one from my sisters (Twig) and then it got to my birthday and my mum and dad got me one and my sisters got me one too (style surge/viva glam v). So I'm going to start on twig because it was the first lipstick I got. So twig is a satin finish so it looks kind of glossy but mostly matt, The colour is very pigmented it's a beautiful colour, this colour last all day but to keep the colour as bright/dark as when you put it on you might want to touch it up in the day but if you do want to touch it up you really only have to touch it up one time. This cost £15.50 Next viva glam v this is in the lustre finish it's like my lip but bette...
