School Emergency | Leah'xo

Most schools go back to school tomorrow, I go back on Wednesday so I am going to do my preparing tomorrow. *Keep updated for my back to school uniform* Anyway what I can do it my DIY Emergancy Kit for school.


 1. Deodorant - Last year I was guilty of having to ask loads of people for deodorant because I hadn't got any and I was sweating. So I would suggest to take a roll on deodorant incase you set of your fire alarms but I take spray because ain't nobody got time to be unbuttoning shirts taking them off waiting for the roll on to sink into your skin and then buttoning your shirt #firstworldproblems Ahaha.
 2. Hair Brush - School isn't always easy. You may need to brush your hair at break because you have been pulling it out to try and answer your algebra question. Just a simple small one or a tangle teaser.
 3. Chewy or Mints - There may be a time where you eat your tuna sandwich and feel abit insecure or where you just need to chew. Just don't let on you have any or you will be replacing them everyday, people go crazy for them :)
 4. Shine Blotting Tissues - If you are like me and have a very oily T-zone you may need these just to freshen up through-out the day. Even though you can add powder I just find these do a better job as powder may make you look cakey.
 5. Lip Balm - I always have chapped lips so I have medicated lip balm from ASDA but you can have tinted lip balm. Adding abit more your style into it :)
 6. Lotion - When you are always washing your hands in school your hands can get sore and dry so if you just add a travel sized body lotion you won't have that problem, I always get dry around my fingernails so this helps alot.
 7. Perfume or Body Mist - Even if you add 1000 squirts of perfume it if going to wear off throughout the 6 hour day. Just so you can smell nice take a small body spray. This helps if you are abit sweaty aswell :)


I hope you enjoyed reading my Emergency School Kit, make sure to comment down below if you think I have missed anything out.

Traveling Essentials - Make-up | Leah'xo

Well who's going camping? I am.
I thought this would be a good opportunity to show you what I would take when I am traveling. There is no way just because I am going camping I am going to take nothing, I am pretending it's going to be like the tent in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Anyway, what I take for camping is probably what you all will take abroad or something so here I go:

 

Simple Hydrating Moisturizer and Bayliss & Harding Lavender Body Lotion.

Miss Sporty Liquid Concealer and MUA Pro-Base Conceal and Brighten Kit.

Natural Collection Pressed Powder with a Lydia Professional Face Brush and a cheap eyeshadow brush from Ebay.

Powder Brush from The Poundshop and George Blush in Little Gem.

No7 Highlighter thing :) Collection Bronze Glow.

MUA Brow Pencil In Blonde.

 

I know my make-up case isn't nice but it's the only one I have. All the ones I try don't fit brushes into them. I hope you enjoyed seeing what I will take to camping. Really I showed you this to show you, actually all you need is a few things. For Example I use my highlighter as eyeshadow. Love all of you guys :)

Comparing myself to Zoe Sugg | Leah'xo

Hey guys, today I'm going to do something a little different. Compare myself to Zoe Sugg (Also known as Zoella on youtube and has a blog on this!) I know you have all clicked on this to see how big headed I can be but I'm comparing myself in a different way. In 2009 (I THINK?!) she wrote a blog post with questions and answers. I thought it would be fun to answer the same questions and compare. The questions will be in BLACK, Zoe's answers will be in purple and mine in red...

• What’s your favourite eye shadow colour to wear?   

          Woodwinked (Golden/Brown)   Shimmery Neutral's

• What’s the one product you wouldn’t leave your house without? 

Carmex (Looks like superglue and everyone freaks when i put it on my lips)    Carmax aswell. My lips are always chapped.

• What’s your favourite makeup look ?

           Smokey Eye or...Bronzed       Simple and Matte

• Which feature do you play up the most?  

           Um..My eyes probabaly         I don't really make anything dramatic, my lips maybe

• Which feature do you try to downplay/cover up?

           My legs...haha is that allowed? I do hate my legs.     My eye's (BLOGPOST ABOUT IT)

• Your favourite makeup brand, if you could pick only ONE to exist?

           MAC       MUA or Natural Collection... They are both the same really.

• Which product have you re-purchased OVER and OVER again?  

          Lancome Hynose mascara (fab) & GOSH concealer in col. 2 (seriously guys... This stuff is a           miracle for dark circles, i would reccomend this a millions times over)     

          Natural Collection  pressed powder.

• Which product would you NEVER repurchase again and why?  

            Hmm, this is hard, i always love everything i buy...i'd say Blistex instensive moisture                          lipsalve...it's milky white and horrible and doesnt do anything.  Miss Sporty Liquid Concealer.  Conce It didn't cover anything it just made me go a funny colour.

• One beauty treatment you would always PAY to have done?

            Facial    I'd probably pay for my nails to be done with Shellac

• One beauty treatment you would NEVER pay to have done?  

          Manicure/False nails..not because i hate them, but because my mum is a nail technician so i get get     them done for free. :D       I wouldn't EVER pay for a pedicure, I hate my feet being touched               and hate looking at feet. I'd rather just do them myself.

• One beauty trick you can share with everyone?

        The Gosh concealer in no.2 haha. If you dont have this...you're missing out. I have tried almost almoevery concealer on the market, nothing compares to this beaut. It is a salmony colour, so covers cove the darkness, then if you are paler than most you can always put a lighter colour on top..             A     Asif... I was actually going to say the same one. I wasn't going to recommend The Gosh                  Concealer though. So yeah...

• Best advice you've ever been given regarding beauty and makeup?  

         ALWAYS moisturize..especially under the eyes.     Always match your foundation and              and   concealer. Unless you are using it to highlight.



Thanks for watching guys. If you got this far make sure to comment 'OMG, CAN'T BELIEVE YOU KISSED HARRY STYLES' just to confuse people ;-) Love you guys and stayyy beautiful.

**Zoe's answers are 6 years out of date but I thought I would take them because she would of been a teenager and not as experienced as she is now!!** 

June Favorites | Leah'xo

It's the end of June - I have gone through June trying L-O-A-D-S of beauty produtcts. Here is some of the ones I like :

 

This foundation is actually amazing. It glides on smoothly and doesn't wear off. I don't really think it's a 25 hour foundation but it does last a long time. This is in the shade 200 Soft Beige. It is too dark for me, I need about 2 shades lighter (I'M REALLY PALE). I did wear this for a period of time and it looked OK. It blends in perfectly meaning I got away with wearing this shade. -I don't recommend wearing 2 shades darker foundation. But I was young. ahahah. This foundation is £7.99 and can be found at Boots.com. 

 

This concealer pallette is great. I have the lightest colour (Porceline) and as you can see from the swatches there is a peachy concealer. This is great for me because I have bluey undereyes so it contrasts so well. Then there is a normal concealer for blemishes and any redness. Then there is like this pink brightner. I am actually nervous to try this but i've been loving the other two.

 

 I use this pencil brush to apply the concealer and blend with my ring finger. The heat from your finger helps the cream concealers to blend.

 This is my ALL TIME favorite. As you can see the lipstick looks orangy red. But it's not. I was gutted when I realised it wasn't a lipstick but now I love it. When you apply a few coats it leaves a sheen, glossy look to your lips. It has a orange tint to it but it a beautiful orange. When you have a close up the lipstick in the tube has chunks of glitter. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS..

And that's it for my monthly favorites make sure to tweet me your favorite item for this month at @beautybyleah

I was thinking of doing a none beauty favorites, would anybody like to see that? 

Much Love,
