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,

Make-up routine and confession.

Guys, for the rest of the week-end I'm at my dads. I am going to do my most recent make-up routine. All product names will be in the colour blue. Pictures of the product will be at the bottom <3

Step 1. I usually use Derma v10 dry skin cream because I get dry skin regulary. (A pain, I know!) Though sometimes I use Baylis and Harding Sweet Manderin& Grapefruit body lotion. I only use this when I don't have dry skin because if I put it on dry patches it stings (SO BAD). I don't know why, I think it might just be the fragrance.

Step 2. After that soaks in, I apply my foundation. For the summer time I use Laval Secret Beauty  Foundation (Shade Fair 006). You may not of heard of the brand because it isn't well know. But this foundation is flawless and moistorizing. 

Step 3. The I apply concealer under my eyes and on any blemish's I may have. I use the Miss Sporty Liquid Concealer or MUA Conceal and Brighten Kit. Depending on how much coverage.

Step 4.  I then put over the top any transparent pressed powder I have to hand. My favorite is Lizzie Hide the shine pressed powder in Translusent. I love this because it makes my face so matte.

Step 5. I then apply the Natural Collection Blushed cheeks in Pink Cloud.
  
Step 6. I then apply eyeshadow. Mostly using my Pallette (I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME) and add any liquid eyeliner. And mascara. My favorite is Natural Collection Lash Length Mascara. But I hear the JORDANA Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara. Is amazing. Does anybody use it?
