IMATS!!

Hi Guys!

Today was IMATS day! I was super excited and have been waiting for this day for agessss! 

It was my friends and mine first time going which made it even more exciting! I really enjoyed it and can't wait until next year!

I didn't buy as much as I thought I might but I am super happy with the bits I got.

I got my first ever piece of Nars which is a blusher in Orgasm and it's is such a beautiful colour. I have swatched it here for you although the pictures just don't do these gorgeous colours justice. £15.75

I got the Crownbrush 28 colour neutral palette which has some gorgeous colours. Great for bridals. What I love about it is the good mix of mattes and shimmers. £17

Next I got the Ben Nye Banana powder which is something I've heard a lot about and have wanted to try for ages, so I am looking forward to trying that tomorrow! £14

And the lastly but not least, I got a Brush Egg which is fab for cleaning your makeup brushes! £6.50.

So looking forward to trying everything and reviewing it for you also!

If you have thought about going then do so! It's just amazing, and it's really good watching all the different stands showing off there talents with their body painting. I'll add in a few pics.

Bring on IMATS next year!!! :-)

New series and giving blood!

Hi Guys!

Sooo as I have mentioned on twitter and instagram a few weeks ago I am starting a new series on my channel which I am finally ready to start.

The series is going to be all about nails! As you may or may not know my full time job is a Nail Technician. So I thought I would share with all you nail lovers out there how I work. I will be showing you how to do acrylics, how to do gel polish and also a lot of nail art tutorials. I will love to hear if you have any ideas or would like to see any specific videos regarding nails!

It will be starting this week so keep an eye out on my channel. I'm still not 100% sure what day it will be starting yet, but it will be the same day every week so you will know when to expect a new video. Also I'm not sure how long this series will last, I will just see how it goes and get your feedback to see if your enjoying it!

Here's a look at what nail art tutorials will be coming. Flowers and hearts. (Please note it won't be these exact nails).

In other news today I've done my good deed and given blood! I always get anxious when I go even though everytime I've given, I haven't had any problems, I just fear I'm going to pass out or something like that. I think it's just part of my anxiety that luckily I've learnt to deal with over the years!

As nervous as I get every time I go, I still think the worst part is peeling this blooming plaster off! It hurts!! Lol good job it's only once every 4months.

Revealed 2 Palette

Hi Guys!

I'm super excited to show you this today! I ordered this about a month ago and had almost forgot all about it! 

This palette is from Coastel Scents who I hadn't heard about until I saw Shonagh Scott's video on a look she done using this palette. As soon as I saw it I was like ' I need that in my life' and here it is!

So I am going to be showing you the swatches from this 20 colour palette. 

Here's how the palette looks. The packaging is sleek and very travel friendly. Does the top row remind you of another palette?? Yes it's a dupe for the naked 3 which I have been dying to try.

And here are all 20 swatches. 

I also received a free sample of shadows which I was excited about as the colours were gorgeous.

I'm not sure why the sample ones have names and the palette ones don't. I would love it if it did, not that it affects the gorgeous colours :-).

The palette cost $19.95 and shipping was around $15 which in total works out to roughly £21. Obviously if your in the states it makes it a very reasonable priced palette.

I will be doing some looks with this on my channel so keep an eye out! :-)

Review time and chit chat!!!

Hi Guys!

So today I am reviewing the Bourjois Happy Light Serum Primer!

All I can say is if you haven't tried it yet, then it is definitely worth a purchase. It costs £10.99 which is by no means the most expensive and not the cheapest either. It's a fab middle of the road product that does what it says on the tin.

This serum primer comes in 2 different types, one is luminous for dry to normal skin and the one I got was matte for normal to combination skin. I just absolutely love products that are made for all skin types, as we all know there's not one products that does it all! This serum hasn't broke me out in blemishes either which is a bonus. They both give your skin that natural glow were all secretly looking for. I originally worried that being combination skin it might make me look shiny in a bad way but it doesn't. I have also found that it really does keep my face looking and feeling matte all day. No need to top up with some powder during the afternoon. (Another bonus).

Because it is a mixture of a serum and a primer it is a lovely texture. It doesn't have that silicone feel like some primers do. It feels a mixture between a gel and a cream. It soaks into the skin really quickly so you do need to rub it in fast. I tend to use just 2 pumps and this does my chin, nose and forehead area nicely. I love that it soaks in as it doesn't feel like it's clogging up your skin. It has a totally lightweight feel like you haven't got anything on your skin. There's nothing worse than applying a product that feels heavy on the face.

You can also get the Happy Light foundation which I am yet to try. So after using this product il definitely be trying that too!

So my advice is to definitely give it a go if your currently looking in to trying a new primer!

So in other news I'm getting really excited for IMATS!!! Not long now! Who else is going?? My friend and I have never been before so that is making it even more exciting for us! 

This blog as you may have noticed after my last one is a day late but I had internet trouble yesterday so I couldn't publish my blog! But have no fear it's all good today!!

I'm on the hunt for brow products. Mainly pencils or gels to try! So if any of you have any recommendations please let me know! I'm really wanting to try the soap and glory brow archery but every time I go in boots it's sold out!! So hopefully il be lucky enough to catch some I stock soon! I suppose it's a good sign that it's a good product! Let me know if you've tried it! I'd love to hear your opinions! :-)

Ok so that's all from me fore now! 

Hope you enjoyed this review and it was helpful.

Summer sun!

Hi Guys!

The summer is finally upon us!! Wahoo! 

So I have been a little bit quiet here on my blog lately but my work has just been super busy! The sun makes everyone want their toes gelled so they look gorgeous in flipflops and of course this time of year brings holidays, proms and weddings! 

 And if I haven't been working I've been filming for my youtube channel which I  absolutely love doing! If you haven't checked out my channel then just search Laura Sage on youtube and you should find me! :-) For those who haven't visited my channel, it consists of shopping hauls of beauty, clothes and anything else I've picked up, makeup get ready with me's, some tag videos which are always fun to do and product reviews. I have a new series of videos starting soon on my channel that I've been working on, which will be to do with my day time job! All will be revealed soon!

I have enjoyed the sun as much as possible lately and last Sunday I spent the day on my dads boat! And I really don't think there's a better way to spend a sunny Sunday! We launch at a local marina and tend to just trundle around. My dads friends also have boats and at lunch time we moor up to a boy in the middle of the river and have a picnic whilst bobbing around catching the rays! Sometimes in the afternoons the boys will 'attempt' some water sports which can be highly amusing (and of course is always caught on camera). They wakeboard, knee board, water ski or go on a donut! Apparently my dad holds the championship for no one being able to tip him off lol! 

Fingers crossed Sundays stay nice now so we can launch more often! 

What have all you been up to in this gorgeous weather??

Hopefully from now I'll be cable to find time to do regular blogs for you. I have a few review items I am going to be doing. So they will be up soon! I think I am going to aim to put up a blog every Sunday evening!

So I hope you have enjoyed this little chatty catch up post! And I will speak to you all soon!

Thanks for reading!

Bye xxx

I thought I'd add a pic from sunday for you.
