Kylie xox: 2016

Hiyya Everyone,

Long time no speak...
Basically I've had some trouble with my laptop and had to get it fixed so that's why I haven't been blogging but now I am back. I will have a few reviews up for you soon but today I thought I'd do my "2016 Christmas Wish List".

So obviously I'm 19 and I don't really care about if I get presents or not. I rather spend Christmas with my family and friends, but obviously everyone has something they really want for Christmas no matter what age you are.

So here is my list.

Superdrug

So I'll start with what I've seen in Superdrug.

1. Zoella Just Crackers

I find these super cute. The crackers contain Body Wash, Body Lotion, Lip Balm and Hand Cream which are all in a Vanilla and Gingerbread scent.

RRP: £11.00

2. Zolla Gingerbread And Bake My Day Gift Set

I love this gift set as its perfect for Christmas as it has that gingerbread scent. The bottle of the fragrance is like super cute with all the little gingerbread men on it. I have smelt this scent in store and it smells so divine and smells like my mum cooking gingerbread men in the kitchen which is always a overwhelming scent.

RRP: £11.00

Boots

Now I'm going to list everything from Boots.

1. Zoella On My Travels Back Pack

Now this has to be number one on my list from boots. for starters I'm a BIG bag collector. I love the bag as it is simple...just grey with nothing on it so it will go with any outfit. Also its a back pack so its easy to carry around. The bag comes with Zoella's pencils, mug & inspire key chain.

RRP:£50.00

2. Ted Baker Mini Beauty Bag

Now I like this because of the fragrance mist it comes with. I smelt a tester of it and it smells BEAUTIFUL. It also comes with a lip balm and body lotion.

RRP:£12.00

3. Yankee Candle Christmas Cookie Candle

Second to last on my "Christmas Wish List" has to be a candle. This one smells so yummy haha. I could sit there all day smelling it. For people who don't know what it smells like basically its like walking into a bakery and you smell the cookies but its a very sweet smell which is lovely but can get a tiny bit sicky.

RRP: £21.99 (large jar)

Now the next present that's on my wishlist isn't from Boots but it's something I've wanted to do since this certain person started singing.

Justin Bieber Tour 2017

I've always wanted to go to one of his concerts every since he started his career. I'm a HUGE fan of his. Not everyone likes him I know but everyone has their own opinions but personally I think he is amazing and has a brilliant voice.

RRP:£45-400+

That's everything on my wishlist for this year. Let me know in the comments below what you would like for Christmas and I will speak to you all soon.

Until then!

Kylie xox is out!xx

Heeey Guys,
Today I will be writing a review about 3 beauty products which I've been trying over the past few days and thought I'd share them with you.

I recently got hold of the company 'Laura Geller' which is currently a "make up" organisation. They are a very high brand but there products are amazing.

Here's all Laura Gellers Information

I wasn't 100% sure if the company would accept bloggers as they are such a high brand but lucky they did and I got accepted and I am very happy.

The lady I spoke to was called Rachel and she was really lovely so I just want to give a HUGE shout-out to her for accepting my request and for being lovely.
Also want to say a big thank you to Laurel who took over when Rachel wasn't

When Rachel contacted me she was lovely enough to let me pick the products I wanted to try.
So I went for 3 things that I knew I would use on a everyday bases.

I currently took this picture myself.

As you can see by the picture above I currently picked a primer, foundation and concealer.
The foundation and concealer are baked and the packaging is a nice marbled effected ( as you will see by pictures further on in the blog post) and is just beautiful.

I am going to review each product separately so that you guys know my thoughts and feelings on the products. Also there will be links to each product available and also the RRP.

Laura Geller Spackle Classic Make Up Primer

"Revive your skin with Laura Geller's best-selling Spackle® Under Make-Up Primer, which retexturizes the surface of your skin to achieve a flawlessly smooth finish.Spackle® is made with natural plant extracts and the powerful anti-oxidants, White Tea and Centella Asiatica Extracts. These ingredients protect the skin along with Aloe Vera Gel. Spackle® also helps the skin retain moisture, feel softer and look smoother. It is lush, incredibly lightweight and suitable for all skin types."- Laura Geller

So if you are into make up you know that a lot of primers are for using under your foundation to make it last a little longer during the day and to give the foundation a smooth base.

Photo taken by me!

The content was cloudy with an iridescent shimmer. It felt a little oily on the back of my hand but I'm not one to jump to a conclusion quickly so thought to test it on my skin first.

I wasn't really keen of the oiliness of the primer on my skin to be honest with you, I was hoping it was going to have a consistency of a moisturiser.

You don't need much of this primer as it is very spreadable so a little bit goes a long way. It takes a while to sink into the skin which I personally don't like as sometimes when I do my make-up I'm usually in a rush and don't have time to wait around.

On a positive note it really holds the foundation in place. I found my foundation lasted a lot longer then it usually would do. I find that it lasts about 8-9+ depending on the weather. A drug-store dupe for this I would say for the amount of time it holds the foundation, would be 'Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation'. This primer is the same as it holds the foundation on for a lot longer then other primers out there and is also a affordable one if you cannot afford the Laura Geller one. If you are looking for a more oil based primer then I definitely recommend this primer to you. I wouldn't recommend Spackle to those with oily/combination skin thou. I would only recommend it to women with dry skin as it gives a complete moisture boost and seems to work better on dry skin.

Packaging wise is very simple. It comes in a clear squeezable tube with a black lid along with the Laura Geller logo on it and red lips-which if I was in stores and seen this I could guarantee it wouldn't really make me want to buy it as its a tad boring to me as I like my 'bright' 'eye-catching' packings, which is a shame because the product is so good.

I give this primer a 4 out of 5 stars ****

RRP: $32.00/ £21.92

Laura Geller Baked Liquid Radiance Foundation- Porcelain

"The next generation of Baked, now in a full-coverage liquid formula! Loose pigments are coated in Almond Oil, then baked in Italy on terracotta tiles to create perfect spheres of color that lay evenly on skin. Blended with skin-loving, moisturizing ingredients, this foundation delivers weightless, creamy color correction with a natural skin finish. The long-wearing, streak- free formula leaves skin glowing and healthy looking - like radiance in a bottle!"-Laura Geller

This is my own photo which I have taken.

The next product I want to talk about is the foundation.

The packaging to the foundation is amazing, I find it really attractive. It has a marbled look to the lid which is my favourite and is so gorgeous. The bottle is glass so you do have to be careful if your going to be carrying it around in your make up bag as it may smash and that's something you don't want happening. This also has the Laura Geller Logo on.

So the formulation is baked with colour correcting pigments which really help with my skin as I do have a lot in-colouration going on. It also contains almond oil as well as other hydrating ingredients.

Personally I find this foundation very low coverage. I've read many reviews saying that it's a 'high coverage foundation' but my perspective is that its doesn't give much coverage unless you layer it- which I'm actually pretty upset about as it sounded amazing by reviews I've seen online.

The texture runs very creamy and thick and is very easy to blend. The colour I got is 'Porcelain' which is a tad be lighter then my skin but to be honest I really like it as it makes my skin look healthy. Sometimes I like mixing the foundation with my moisturiser just to make it tinted and it works amazingly. The downside to this product is that you MUST use press powder to set it after or else it will get on to your clothes and is horrendous to get off- which I personally hate in a foundation to be honest.

The wear of this product is okay. If you wear the foundation without a primer it doesn't really stay on that long. I find that it "melts" off your skin within 3-4 hours and makes your skin look patchy and horrible which in a 'high-end' foundation really sucks because I'd expect it to last a lot longer then that for the price of it. If you wear it with a primer I find that it holds a lot better and lasts longer during the day- I'd say about 6-7+ hours, depends on where your going and what you are doing.

For someone who has dry skin I do find that it gives my skin a little moister but not much.

Overall thou its a nice light foundation- not the best coverage but I can personally forget about that after applying powder.

I give this foundation a 4 out of 5 stars ****

RRP:- $38/ £26.23

Laura Geller Radiance Cream Concealer- Porcelain

"Color correcting under eye perfection – in a pot!This first ever Baked cream concealer doesn't settle into fine lines & wrinkles. Designed specifically to conceal and brighten dark circles and hydrate the delicate skin around the eye, with botanical oils and treated pearls to create a subtle luminescence, this innovative formula delivers creamy, concealer perfection that makes eyes look fresh, youthful and radiant!"- Laura Geller

So the last product I am going to talk about is the concealer.

The packing of the concealer is the same as the foundation. It has a marbled effect lid to it which yet again I find gorgeous. It's in a glass tube so again you do have to be careful carrying it around in your make up bag as it can smash. This also has the Laura Geller Logo on.

Formulation wise, It's a nice creamy constancy which is always good in a concealer as I hate it when they are very stiff to apply.

I have to say I really do like this concealer. Yet again I got this in 'porcelain' which is a really nice light shade and is great for brightening up your eye area. The concealer gives great coverage which is brilliant as I suffer with dark circles under my eyes and usually a lot of break outs. I find that applying this product with a brush is much better then applying with your fingers because you can more of the product- even thou you only need a pea size dot on each area. It's very bendable which is amazing especially for the eye area.

Same as the foundation, you will have to use a primer with this concealer as I find if you don't it kind of like "moves around" your face- basically "melts off". With a primer it gives its full benefits of covering dark circles, pimples and also I found it covers my pores on my nose as well. You can wear the concealer under or over the top of the foundation either way it compliments the foundation really well and still gives amazing coverage.

Overall I love this concealer and I've got to say its my new favourite concealer in my whole concealer collection.

I give this concealer 5 out of 5 stars *****

RRP:- $24/ £16.58

So that is all the products I got of the lovely Rachel. Yet again I want to give her a big thank you as I really enjoyed trying and reviewing these products for her.
