Primark PS.. Beauty lip liners.

Hello lovelies! 

I've finally downloaded the blogger app on my phone and it's SO much easier to use than going on the laptop and blogging. I can just open the app on my phone, write about whatever I want and insert any photos straight from my phone. Yay!! So now i can have more regular blog posts. Today's post is on something I think there's quite a bit of hype around and I've heard loads of amazing things about their products & it's the Primark PS.. Beauty range. I picked up quite a few items when I went in last week so I'll try them out and let you know what I think. But the first thing I'm really impressed with is their lip pencils!! They are fab!! And so cheap too. I picked up 4 of their colours I think they do 5 or 6 and I got 2 like nude/mauve colours and a gorgeous red one as they are the colours I tend to wear most on my lips. And believe me they are stunning! They are really easy to apply and have a really deep colour pigment. I have been looking for a long time for a nice nude/mauve lip liner to wear with my Rimmel London Kate Moss nude lipstick that I wear pretty much ALL the time, and the only one I've found is a nude pink one by collection and I love it but it's quite hard to get hold of. So all three of primark nude ones go perfect with my favourite nude lipstick. And at just £1 you really can't go wrong!! 

Here's some photos of the lip liners and some swatches so you can see the colours.. 





How gorgeous are they!! I just think £1 for a lip liner is just amazing. Especially the prices you can pay from more expensive brands. I bought quite a few other items from the PS.. Beauty range too including lipsticks so my next post will be on them. Hope you're having a great week guys! 

Peace out, mwah! xxx

First fashion post!

Hey guys! 

So it's been a few weeks since my last post & I've been thinking about starting to include fashion & lifestyle in my blog. I think I mentioned about maybe doing some fashion posts a while back & I thought why the heck not?! As I love fashion!! Also I want to start writing about a few personal struggles I've faced over the last few years with mental health. I don't usually talk about my personal struggles but over the past few months I have been struggling a little and I thought you know what? I'm going to start and blog about how I'm feeling and the techniques I use to deal with my day to day anxiety. I'll write more about this as soon as I get the confidence to open up about things. But, anyway back to FASHION!! 

So.. My first fashion post is all about something that I think is really on trend at the moment, I've seen loads of girls wearing these and I've been wanting to try one out for myself for a while and see if I suit them and it's the Shirt Dress. Now I love these dresses I think you can dress them down and wear them casual or you can dress them up and look really glam. So my two friends have both worn them with the over the knee boots that are also really on trend at the moment too & they both looked stunning in them. So the other day I went shopping and popped in to my little old faithful Primark! And I went and had a look at the selection of shirt dresses. I came across this gorgeous like deep maroon & cream striped one, with a pull in waist detail that you tie together to give it a nice shape. So I had a little think and I thought you know what I'm gonna try one. Now me being me, I am very picky when it comes to my fashion taste and style. I love anything that's on trend but I have to put my own stamp on it. So the dress was £13 which I thought was amazing and I also thought well if I don't like it I can always bring it back. Then I had one problem.. What shoes could I wear with it?! Now all these other girls wear the over the knee boots with shirt dresses but little old me who's only 5"3 in height, couldn't really carry off that look in my opinion. So I thought maybe some ankle boots would be better for me so I went to the shoe section and it must have been my lucky day as I came across these gorgeous plain black suede ankle boots with a block heel and wait for it.. They were on sale for just £5!! Bargain or what!!? So I purchased the boots too and I couldn't wait to try them both on and wear them. So I came home and tried them on and I can honestly say I'm so glad I purchased them both. I am a tad obsessed with my shirt dress and I definitely want to purchase a few more in different colours and designs. I've had so many compliments on it too. I'm a curvy size 12 and I really think the pull in waste detail really compliments my curves. I also love the dark maroon colour against my jet black hair I really think they compliment each other. As for the boots they are SO COMFY!! And will basically go with anything. Here's a photo of me wearing the dress and boots... 

 

How gorgeous are they?! (I know you can't really see the boots cause of the lighting) but this dress is definitely one of my new favourite fashion pieces hanging in my wardrobe!! So if you're looking at purchasing a shirt dress then I recommend having a look in primark. The quality of this dress is just gorgeous and for that price you really can't go wrong. 

That's all for now guys.. 

Talk soon! Mwah!! xxx

Primark PS Liquid Eyeliner!

Hello lovelies!!

So it's been a long while since my last post hasn't it?! I can tell as I cant type properly haha! hang on give me a minute to get back into the swing of things.. so first of all HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Hope you all had a great Christmas too. I've been meaning to get a new post up but I've just been so side tracked with Christmas and stuff. When I realised it's been like three months since my last post I thought oh my good lord Kerrie that is shocking!! You are a disgrace to the blogging society hahaha, but hey I'm back now and I'm going to be back blogging at least once a week about my usual make up, beauty & fashion posts. So for my first post of 2016 it's a good old little review. I do love a good review. (It gives me the opportunity to blabber on about something.) So yeah if you follow my Instagram http://www.instagram.com/glambykerrielouise you'll be aware I am a HUGE fan of winged eyeliner. My eyeliner I use is one I have used for many years. Yeah I've been rocking the winged eyeliner look since the likes of Lilly Allen & Amy Winehouse made it cool and trendy. Anyway.. it was from a brand available from Superdrug called 2True and its honestly amazing. I've used it for like 5 years. It's so easy to apply and achieve that really sharp wing all us girls love these days. But a few weeks ago I went into a few different Superdrug stores to pick some more eyeliner up and one of the assistants informed me that it had been discontinued. Safe to say I've been gutted since I heard that heart breaking news lol. So I thought well there's only one thing for it, branch out and try a new eyeliner. So I've bought about 6-7 different ones over the past few weeks some at what id class as a little pricey and none of them have impressed me. Then last week I was in my favourite shop in the world (well one of them) PRIMARK and I was having a little browse of their beauty section and I noticed they had liquid eyeliners for just £1!! So me being the little bargain hunter that I am thought I might as well purchase one and try it out, not expecting it to be any good like all the others I tried. Well what a shock I got, its SO GOOD!! it comes with quite a long thin brush which I like as I find it easier to apply and get that really fierce flick & it's also really black and spreads really evenly. Here's a few pictures i took of the finished result. (Btw ignore my little lashes, i gave my eyes a day off from the falsies. I felt bald all day :(...)

Primark PS... Beauty Liquid Eyeliner
 
How fierce is that wing? Oh heyyyyy...
 
So yeah as you can see it gives you really fierce, sharp wings if like me you like your eyeliner to be perfect then i definitely recommend this product to you. And at only £1 you cant complain about that can you?! So get down to your nearest PRIMARK stores & purchase one of these little beauties from the PS BEAUTY RANGE.
 
That's all for now my loves, speak soon!!
