The Daily Skin Routine..In the Morning

Mornings.... You love them or you hate them. To be honest with you all, I like them. I love that feeling of being refreshed in the morning and being excited for the day ahead! Call me mad, but, I love them! Today, I wanted to share what skin products I use in the mornings on a day to day basis. It's a pretty simple routine but it keeps my skin calm and it helps my acne problems a lot!

The first thing I use is my amazing Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. I absolutely love this stuff!The many times I have mentioned this is countless! I put a little bit of it on to a cotton pad and give a nice wipe around my face, so for the dirt and make up that I missed the night is fully removed. 

Next on the list of miracles is the Visibly Clear Spot Stress Control Scrub by Neutrogena. Now this little gem has completely helped my spots contained with stress disappear! Goodbye blackheads and pimples and Hello glamorous skin! First, I give my face and neck a good wash so it is ready to be applied by the scrub, then I put only a small amount of it in to the palm of my hand and rub her hands together so it becomes thick and easy to apply, finally I rub in to my face and neck and wash it off. EASY! I do do do recommended this to anyone who is having spot stress problems.

Then, as always, I apply my Nivea Refreshingly Soft Moisturising Cream. I only put a little dab on to my cheeks, forehead, chin and nose so my face doesn't feel oily or greasy.














Lastly, I give my lips a little scrub with my Bubblegum Lip Scrub by Lush. This little scrub has grown on me. I find it so refreshing and it keeps my lips moist throughout the day. Ever since I started using this I haven't had dry lips! I apply a little bit to my bottom then top lip and then put my lips together and give them a full scrub.












Ta Da! And that is all! As you can see my routine is extremely simple and basic but it gives me good and glowing skin which I am currently enjoying!

Quick Question: What is your favorite skin care product?

New Look, Next, Boots, Lush and More Haul!

Hello Lovelies!

How has everyone been? Firstly, HAPPY EASTER! I hope you're all getting ready to tuck into your Easter eggs and regret it afterwards! Yay! Hahaha.

So, if you follow me on twitter (@theycallmeezza), you may know that on Friday I went on a little shopping trip and got a few things, which I for one am very very happy with! And I just wanted to show you all and tell you what I think of them.

In the UK, we have two clothing stores which are called Next and New Look (you might have them in your country and adore them as much as we do) and I love their latest clothing and accessories!

First of all from Next, I brought this blue top with white dots, which you put over a vest top and I love how it's so summery and how you can wear it in the day time and in the evenings. 

From New Look, I brought a grey blazer that the material of it is actually like a cardigan and I love that! I think it's great for spring and summer evenings when going out to somewhere nice! Also, it's just generally nice for special occasions. 

Going back to Next, I then brought this mint colour button up blouse with little birds on it and I thought it was so cute! With this, you also put a vest top underneath. As again, this is brilliant for the spring and summer seasons!

Back to New Look, I brought this long gold necklace which has little beady bits and a feather hanging off the end, I been needing something like this for ages now and I never really found one that I liked, thank goodness I found this!

Lastly, I brought this burgundy bag from New Look and can we all just have a second of silence and take a look at this bag....IT IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE! I am in officially in love with this bag, it's so perfect for me as I tend to put quite a few things into my bag. It's just paradise. 

Now on to Boots! I love Boots. I think every girl in the UK loves Boots. It has everything that a girl will ever need! 

If you know me, you'd probably know that I stress out... a lot. And this tends to give me spots! Oh huzzah. So, I saw this little beauty and I thought I will give it a spin. I hope this will help my skin and me to relax and chill for a while.

Now, this is one of the prettiest nail vanishes that I've ever seen! The colour of this is called Pistachio Drage by L'Oreal, which comes out like a minty kind of colour, and I can't stop bragging on how much I adore this! As you can see in the picture, I do have it on my nails at the moment and I can't seem to stop staring at them...Oh dear. 

Lush. Oh Lush. Sweet Lush. Oh how I love the smell of Lush! I must of been in this shop for about half an hour just smelling all of their products! 

I've heard about this lip scrub for a while now and I've been wanting to try it out. The smell of this is so so strong! And every time I smell it, I just want to eat it... But you can! This lip scrub is actually made out of sugar and is edible but I wouldn't advise you to eat the whole pot for health and safety reasons, haha. Moving swiftly on before I get sued...

Now, for a little special treat... I went to Debenhams as well on Friday but I also been going throughout the week too and I picked up a couple of samples of products that I've been dying to try. 

The first sample that I picked up was the Clarins Face Treatment Oil in Lotus. Lately, I have had quite oily skin ,because of the weather changing, and it been especially at night! I had tried moisturizers but they're just not helping! So, I had a little chat to the Clarins lady about it and she recommended this and it has been so wonderful to my skin! I feel so refreshed and not so oily in the morning! I will be going back to buy the full product, believe me!

The second and last sample that I picked up was the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra in 01 and I love this so much that I don't seem to have much more of the sample (sad face) but I found this product incredible! It felt so light on my face and the coverage was very good especially as I'm always running around getting errands done, I only needed to powder once! Once! 

Then, when I went shopping Friday, I brought this glamorous product from Benefits! I was so excited to finally buy something fro Benefits as I've never brought anything from them before. So, this my lovelies is the Big Easy BB Cream and this is very very good! The SPF is 35 which we all know is pretty damn good! It also helps control moisture and oiliness on the face which is good for the summer and warm days. Overall, this product is brilliant indeed!

With the BB Cream, I got a free Fake Up concealer which is also from Benefits. I'm still debating with myself about this product. It is meant to cover up the dark circles under the eyes and diffuse fine lines but I'm just not seeing it yet. I don't know if I'm not using it right or if I'm just too young to use it. Hmm, let me get back to you all about this.

So, overall I had a very successful shopping trip and I very much enjoyed it! I hope you all have a lovely weekend and Easter!

See You Soon!

April Wishlist: Makeup Edition!

Hello Lovelies!

How have we all been? Enjoying the sun, are we? Hehe. I know I am! I am so so happy the sun has finally wanted to come out!

If you've been reading my blog, you may of known that last month I did a wishlist for skincare and I did actually buy some of those products! Woopie! So, I thought I would do another wishlist for this month as well but for makeup as I've heard so many good things about these certain products! So, here we go!

Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm

If you're a common beauty blog reader, you've may of heard about this product a lot! This lipstick balm is very popular and ,in my eyes, very beautiful! I love the different colours of this balm and the names of them...don't even get me started!

Sleek Makeup Brow Kit

I am always trying to get my eyebrows perfect and knowing me, I will try anything to do so! This Sleek brow kit looks extremely helpful and I like how it comes with little brushes and tweezers, very classy! Haha.

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24hr Foundation

I've actually tried this foundation out by getting a sample from my local Debenhams store and oh my goodness, I am in love.. This is so natural and really balances out the skin tone. I also have to add that it smells divine! I always love a good smelling foundation.

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer

The many times I've been recommended this product is countless! Not kidding! Every time I ask about good concealers, I always get told to try the Nars concealer as it covers up dark circles under the eyes and little blemishes and has good coverage. 

So, there we have it! My wishlist for April! I hope this has given you a couple of ideas of what to buy for your next beauty shop. 

Question of the day: What is on YOUR wishlist this month?

See You Soon

Review: Max Factor Face Finity 3 in 1 Foundation

Hello Lovelies!

How is everyone spending their Sunday? Before I forget, Happy Mother's Day! Thank you to all the mums for everything that you have taught us and are still teaching us the way of life.

On to today's post then. So, the review that I am doing today is the Max Factor Face Finity 3 in 1 Foundation. This foundation is lovely! The special part about it is that it is also a primer and a concealer, which I find very helpful as when you are in a rush to get ready and you want to slap a bit of make up on, this is the best product to use!

I love the feel of this foundation and it's not cakey which is pretty much a big bonus. Like newer (and some older) foundations, it evens out your skin tone so it doesn't make you look or feel orange or even yellow. Also, my favorite thing about this is that it doesn't feel heavy, it feels natural and light.

I have to admit about the price of it, it's only £12.00, this may sound a bit much to some people but when you think about it, it's not that bad!

I hope you are all having a lovely day and question of the day is what is your latest favorite product?

Until next time!

You're Beautiful and Thanks for Reading!

Unboxing the Maybelline NY Limited Edition Fashion Look Box

Hi Lovelies!

How have we all been?! I do need to say sorry for not posting lately, I've been (once again) very busy with school and work but I'm here now to give you a review on a lovely parcel that I got the other day!

A few weeks ago, I ordered the Maybelline NY Limited Edition Fashion Look Box , which I brought from the trustworthy Boots. Can I just mention how lovely the products and this box is! Well, let me show you!

This is what the box looks like. I love the box especially with the Maybelline slogan on it! The colours on the box are pretty much gorgeous to me. Basic but gorgeous.

When I opened the box, I saw a little leaflet which told me what was inside the box and about the products. I found it quite adorable!

After you unfold the pieces of tissue paper, you come to the lovely products! I was fangirling at this moment. They all look so amazing!

The first product I picked up and tried was the Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara in Very Black. THIS IS AWESOME! The volume it gives you on your eyelashes is amazingly good! This is by far one of my mascaras.

Next, I looked at the Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara in Medium Brown and this is amazing! It gives your eyebrows that fuller look and makes them shaped which I was in desperate need of!

This product is something that I've wanted to try for a while now to be honest with you all. This is the Maybelline Baby Lips and this is the Hydrate. This is so good! It's not actually a lip balm, it's a moisturizing balm which stays on for 8 hours! That's pretty impressive if you ask me. 

This is another product that I've heard a lot about. This is the Maybelline Dream Touch Blush in Berry. The colour of this is so beautiful and perfect for spring and summer, especially for nights out and girly days out. 

The last product is the Maybelline Colour Show Nail Lacquer in Nebline. This is also a beautiful colour and perfect for spring! It's a pastel pink and if you like girly light pink nail vanishes, then this is perfect for you!

I am in love with this little box! I find so inspiration for any spring/summer make up looks! I personally think you should all try them too! 

Till next time!

You're Beautiful and Thanks for Reading!

Makeup for Beginners!

Hello Beauts!

How are we on this current Wednesday? I have to say a quick thank you to you all as I've just hit 60 followers! Oh wow! Haha. That is amazing, I can't believe it!! So thank you soooo much for reading and enjoying my blog! It means a lot. Also, when I hit 100 followers on BlogLovin, I will do a giveaway! I PROMISE!

Anyway, on to the actual post. As I'm still technically a beginner at makeup, I want to share what makeup products I used first of all and maybe it could help you beauty beginners too. The makeup products that I am going to tell you are the basics, so no primers or cc or bb cream or any fancy stuff, hahaha.

Foundation: So, the first foundation that I used was Lasting Perfection by Collection 2000, you've may of seen this product in my last haul but I have to admit it's quite good! Fair quality and good price. It lasts for 16 hours and the coverage is pretty good for this cheap product.

Concealer: The first ever concealer that I use was Natural Collection Cover-up Stick and this wasn't the best but it was good enough. You would have to touch up throughout the door as it would fade. The price is very cheap indeed as this isn't a big brand but ,as I will probably keep repeating throughout this post, it's good for beginners. 

Mascara: The mascara was also from Natural Collection, haha. I did buy a couple of things from here as it was cheap and looked good for beginners and it have to admit it was ok. 

Lips: Like most people, I use to buy loads of flavored lip balms and I actually found out they gave me really dry lips so I know tend to avoid them but when I had them, I used them like normal lipstick. You can find lip balms anywhere nowadays!

That's pretty much it of what I used when I started with makeup. Hopefully, for you beginners, this may help you on what makeup to buy first of all. 

Time for me to go now! Oh! Before I go, my schedule for blogging now will be a little messy as it is unfortunately exam time for me and my A Levels. So, now I will just blog when I have time and if I have anything new to show and tell you all! 

You're Beautiful and Thanks for Reading!

Nails of Spring

Hi Everyone!

How are you all? Actually, I should start by apologizing for not posting last Friday! Naughty Erin! I just felt so exhausted from the week of work that I had and I wanted to relax and watch some TV. I'm lazy. I know..

So, today's post will be about the latest trends of Spring, today's focus will be NAILS! I don't know about you but I love giving my nails some colour to make them pretty and eye catching.

I did my research and I saw that pastel colours are very in at the moment, but when aren't they in when it comes to Spring time! This year, the brands have gone all out as they have experimented with more pastel colours which we wouldn't see on a daily basic. I personally love the soft colour, it reminds more of cream for some odd and crazy reason, it's light and fluffy.

L'Oreal have been one of the biggest eye catches as their spring nail line is beautiful! It's utterly perfect for Spring. The colours are so light and so feminine. It gives your nails that special highlight that we need! Check out the range here to be amazed.

Unfortunately, that is all that I have time for! But make sure that you're here Wednesday for another blog post from me! Beauty E! Hehehe.

I post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You're Beautiful and Thanks for Reading!

#GirlyTalkWednesdays : Girly Night In vs Girly Night Out.

Hi Everyone!

How is everyone's Wednesday been so far? Haha. Unfortunately, I am currently not feeling too great but I still have the strength and effort to do a blog post! Especially as it's Girly Talk Wednesdays! Woop woop!

So, the topic this week is Girly Night Out vs Girly Night in, us girls all like both of these kinds of nights. With or without friends. Either way, it's fun!

To start us off then, a girly night out - A girly night out normally contains going out with your girlfriends and hitting the clubs or just going a restaurant, both ways, you want to nice and glamorous. You may buy a nice knee height dress with a pair of heels that make you taller than you should be. Then, with your hair, you could go many ways with it. Such as, curling or straightening it - us girls normally go for something that is the opposite of what we normally do with our hair, sometimes with even experiment with our hair and see how it turns out. After deciding on what to do with our hair, you tend to put a lot, and i mean A LOT, of hairspray on! So, this can keep our hair looking the same as we did when we left for the night out. Lastly, makeup! With makeup, we do like to go big. We mostly focus on the eyes. So, we tend put on smoky dark colours - these could be colours such as navy blue, dark blue, black - but sometimes when we are going to the clubs, we tend to put light and vulnerable colours on such as baby blue or pink. Going back to the smoky eye look - we top it off with thick mascara or as most girls like to do, false eyelashes - this actually makes the eyes look fully and thicker. We can actually sometimes add some eyeliner too, thick or thin, both ways it works. We normally then go for a natural kind of foundation cover, as I've said before, we focus more on the eyes. Finally, we add lipstick. I personally recommend putting lip balm on first before putting on the lipstick as it keeps your lips moist throughout the night. With the lipstick colour, we put on a darker colour like dark red - so, it matches the smoky eye look. But if you are going for the lighter look, we would put on a light pink or a hot pink on.

Next, we have the girly night in - this can be with or without friends. Both ways, it's enjoyable! Out of the two - this is my favorite! I love my little nights in where I can just relax and be myself and not worry about looking my best. So, my girly nights in are normally consisted of junk food and my favorites movies! I throw my comfortable clothes on so if I do end up falling asleep I won't be in jeans or anything that I don't want to get crinkled. Then while watching the movies, I would browse through twitter and Facebook and check on my blog. With friends, you can do the exact same! You and your girlfriends can gossip, catch up and have a great laugh! With makeup - honey, ain't nobody got time for that! - DON'T WORRY ABOUT LOOKING GOOD WHEN YOU ARE CHILLING! That is a motto I live by!

I hope you liked this little post today! And tell me, what are you most likely to do? Go out or stay in? Tell me in the comments or tweet me at @theycallmeezza. Also, hopefully you'll be able to relate to what I've just written.

Little announcement - unfortunately, this will be the last of #GirlyTalkWednesdays, but only for a while. I just want to do some normal posts and tick off some of the things that I want to write on this blog. I hope you don't mind! Hahaha.

Anyway, until Friday. I post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You're Beautiful and Thanks for Reading!

#GirlyTalkWednesdays : Periods!

Hi Everyone,

How has your day been today? Do tell! Anyway! I should say, welcome! To the first post of the series Girly Talk Wednesdays, this is when I will be talking about...how would you say it....girl stuff? So, I will be either directly to the female reader or I will be telling the male reader of what to expect when girls go through these stages of life. Oh yep, hold on to your hats for a bumpy ride! haha.

Today's topic is quite an easy topic but it's also a way of understanding the whole 'time of the month' thing. So, to start it off I'm just going to say that every single woman on Earth HATES that time of the month! Believe me, it's the most stressful time for all girls as we have different emotions that hit us at any time of the day and this happens for a whole week! Then, the cramps happen. Not every girl may have a cramp every month but when they do, it hurts like hell! So men, I advise you to stock up on ice cream, chocolate, blankets and soppy films when you know your female other is on her time of the month, cause they're gonna need it!

Then comes the headaches! Oh yes! Headaches. Oh, how I hate them so so much. Headaches are literally always around the corner during that week. So, I always take paracetamol with me so whenever I do get a headache I just 2 of those and I'm normally okay after that. Then I may take another 2 after 4 hours as it is advised too.

For us girls, we need to take that week nice and easy and not stress ourselves out more than we already are. I always give myself a little pamper evening so I can relax and just chill out. In my pamper evening I always include a face mask, a unhealthy snack - even if you are trying to stay healthy and clean of junk food, you can not say no when your on your monthlys. I also include a light hearted film or a Disney film, which I always end up watching. This does the trick for me as then I don't feel washed out or moody for the rest of that evening.

As us ladies do like our clean skin and pimple free skin, we always tend to go mental on facial products as we try so hard to get rid of these dirty vermins off our faces. So, I recommend, as I've said before, a face mask, this unleashes your pores and takes out the oiliness in your skin. I also steam! This is such a good trick and it's also a classic one as it does the exact same as a face mask would do but it's completely free! All you need is a bowl of boiling hot water and a towel which you put over your head when you are leaning over the bowl so you don't let any steam escape. I normally put a few drops of tea tree oil in it as well so it will cleanse and make the face feel more moist. Afterwards, I would massage the steam that is on my face then pat dry with a towel.

Hopefully, this has been a little bit helpful towards you lady readers and also given the male readers a heads up! Before I do go, I have to say I applaud every single woman for getting over this horrible time of the month!

Anyway, time to go! You're beautiful and thanks for reading! BYE.
