Q&A | Get to Know Me Tag

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you all had wonderful weekend.

Since I started blogging and YouTubing, I feel like some of you have had a sneak peak into my life, passions and hobbies but I thought of a better way to get to know me by completing the Get to Know Me Q&A tag. I always love reading and watching these (maybe because I'm so nosy) but I think they are a great tool to get to know people a little more and to find out what makes them tick. 

Here we go...I hope you enjoy.

Wednesday Wishlist | Spring Beauty 2016

Wednesday Wishlist | Beauty Spring 2016 by nancycamp1 featuring a liquid eyeliner

Happy Wednesday guys!

I hope you all had fabulous Bank Holiday weekends, now for a four day week...woo.

It's Wednesday Wishlist time again, this week is Spring beauty themed. This is my favourite time of year and always a good season to update your make-up collection with bright shades of blushers and shadows.

 I have been lusting after all of these items for while and sadly some of them are only available in the US thanks to Sephora. But luckily, I have a work friend coming back from the US and bringing me a few bits. So for the first time, I might actually own some of these products!

The first thing is the Too Faced Sweetheart Blush, in Sparkling Bellini, which I'm very excited for. It's the perfect blush for Spring and Summer in the beautiful coral shade.This gorgeous new range has sold so well in the US but it's almost impossible to get over here as they only sell it online at Debenhams.  Also, in the same range, The Sweet Peach Palette, has sold out everywhere and only now available on eBay and Amazon at an exceptional price. So this one is definitely going to remain on my Wishlist for the foreseeable future.

Of course the Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kit is at the top of my list but another hard-to-get product. They sell out almost immediately online making it almost impossible to own. Dolce K has to be my favourite, I'm a sucker for pinky nudes.

I've been looking to buy a foundation more suitable for Spring and I have read such great things about the Charlotte Tilbury, Magic Foundation, from coverage to the 'dewy' glow it gives.

What's on your wishlist?

Beauty Edit | Strobing Compact

So apparently strobing is the new contouring. This is news to me, after finally mastering the art of contouring (all but badly) now we have a new make-up skill to learn. So thankfully, our high-street hero brand, MUA, have launched a new strobing compact, available from Superdrug, £5.

Made to make strobing easy, all you need to do is swipe, sculpt and strobe! The powder and crème highlighter are the perfect blend of shimmer and sheen designed to give your cheek that Spring glow.

I would definitely say it was a soft-focus highlighter so not glittery or OTT but very enjoyable and easy to use.

I recently bought a fan brush from eBay, £1.99, to apply the powder to my cheekbones, which goes on like a dream and really brightens the area. Then to apply the crème highlighter I use my index finger to smooth and blend, leaving the skin looking healthy and luminescent. 

 I wouldn't say it is one of the best highlighting products but it certainly does a great job for a drugstore/high-street brand and for £5, you can't really go wrong. 

You can get the Luxe Strobe & Glow Highlight compact from any Superdrug or MUA online. Find it here: 

I also featured this product in my recent Superdrug Haul video over on my YouTube channel. Check it out:

I'm also thinking of doing a strobing tutorial - I'd love to know what you think. Comment below
