TAG! This or That?

Make Up


Blush or Bronzer?
I'd have to go with blush, just because I think you can do more with blush, contour a little and add colour to your face as well.

Lipgloss or Lipstick?
Lipstick, as lipstick can be more pigmented whereas lipgloss can lack in colour and just tends to give a glossy or shimmery finish.

Eyeliner or Mascara?
Eyeliner, because you can always use a black liquid eyeliner on your lashes if you had too! ha ha

Foundation or Concealer?
Foundation, I hardly ever use concealer (as much as I need to!) ha ha

Neutral or Colour Eyeshadow?
I use both a lot so it's hard to choose, I'd have to go with neutral though just because I feel you can get more wear with neutral colour eyeshadow.

Pressed or Loose Eyeshadows?
Pressed 100%!

Brushes or Sponges?
Brushes definitely, I never use spongers.


Nails


OPI or China Glaze?
I've never actually used either. So my vote Barry M! ha ha

Long or Short?
Long, I have a pet peeve of people's bitten down nails, yuck!

Acrylic or Natural?
I love acrylic nails, but they get in the way of my work. But I love my natural nails too, I could count the days I haven't had them painted in the last year on one hand! So natural wins for me.

Brights or Darks?
Brights, I love Barry M's Nail Paint collection, and all their colours and bright and fun and just generally gorgeous!

Flower no Flower?
I'm assuming this means having a flower detail painted onto one of your nails? I'd go no flower. But a trend I love doing, is painting my ring finger with a glitter polish.


Body


Perfume or Body Splash?
I'd have to go with body splash, merely because of the cost! My all time LOVE for perfume is for the paco rabanne Lady Million. It's the most amazing scent in the world and I love it to pieces! although if I were to wear it every day I wouldn't have much money left over ha ha! So body splash is more realistic for every day wear.

Lotion or Body Butter?
Body Butter as it's more moisturising. Although a good lotion can be as nice.

Body Wash or Soap?
I prefer body wash, Lush body wash to be exact ha ha.

Lush or Other Bath Company?
I swear in the answer to my last question I didn't know this was the next ha ha! Obviously a million percent Lush!


Fashion


Jeans or Sweat Pants?
Jeans, I wear them every day! (well every day I'm not working ha ha)

Long Sleeve or Short?
Short for tops, Long for Cardigans.

Dresses or Skirts?
Dresses.

Stripes or Plaid?
I tend to wear block colours and plain shirts rather than patterns. I own one plaid top, although I own quite a few striped jumpers and cardigans. So I guess stripes!

Flip Flops or Sandals?
Sandals, I don't like walking in flip flops, it hurts my toes ha ha

Scarves or Hats?
Scarves, I own far, far, far too many.

Studs or Dangly Earrings?
I don't have my ears pierced. But I love the way dangly earrings look.

Necklaces or Bracelets?
Necklaces. I wear this one silver necklace every single day and have done for the last three years since it was given to me.

Heels or Flats?
I love heels, and wear them every time I go out somewhere. I don't wear them on an everyday basis but I love wearing them out, and have a huge collection ha ha

Cowboy Boots or Riding Boots?
Well anyone who watched my day in the life videos on my BeingRebeccaHooper channel on YouTube has seen the brown boots I live in. I'd guess they were cowboy boots but I'm not sure ha ha

Jacket or Hoodie?
My Jacket and My Boyfriends Hoodie, I love big hoodies and I like nice cute fitted jackets.

Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe?
I live in the UK, so I've never gotten to shop in either of them :(

Abercombie or Hollister?
Neither, I'm not a huge fan of having a brand name plastered over my clothes. I'm sure they have great stuff but I've never really looked on their websites, just seen the tops and jumpers other people wear out and they always seem to have the name written all over them.

Saks 5th or Nordstrom?
Saks 5th, not because I've been to it, I haven't been  to either, but it sounds like a nice name for a shop ha ha ha!


Hair


Curly or Straight?
I love wearing my hair both ways, but I'd have to choose curly.

Bun or Ponytail?
Ponytail.

Bobby Pins or Butterfly Clips?
Bobby Pins, they are a godsend with every hair style!

Hair Spray or Gel?
Hair Spray, I'd never use gel.

Long or Short?
Long, I love my long hair.

Side Sweep Bangs or Full Bangs?
Side Sweet Bangs. But, I'm growing mine out, so soon to be No Bangs! I have had Full Bangs before though and I did like them.

Up or Down?
Down, I rarely have my hair up.


Random


Rain or Shine?
Rain, I may be a weirdo, but I love sitting indoors when it's dark and stormy outside. Nothing better if you ask me.

Summer or Winter?
Winter, I think the skies and the landscapes are so beautiful when they are covering in freezing fog and frost.

Fall or Spring?
Fall (autumn to me in the UK) I love the colours in the autumn.

Chocolate or Vanilla?
For eating I would say Chocolate, for smelling, I would have to say Vanilla.

East Coast or West Coast?
I've been to Florida, so which ever coast that's on?

TAG love,

Dirty Works!

I've just emptied this packet of make up wipes, and I know make up wipes... yawn! But these are INCREDIBLE! They are the most amazing make up wipes I've ever used, the packaging is super cute and they are really moisturising and feel great on your skin. 

I used them all over my face and neck and I also took all my eye make up off with them as well and they worked a treat!

The packaging is a cute baby blue colour with a yellow and white pattern, with the pink details and vintage style writing these have to be the cutest make up wipes I've ever used.... Ever!

The pink circle on the front of the packet says 'with soothing Marshmallow' which isn't a scent I can smell overly in the wipes but I love that's one of the ingredients in them. Marshmallow just sounds like such a lovely, soothing addition to these great make up wipes.

Overall these are incredible, I only picked them up on a whim (as they were on offer) but I'm going on the hunt for more Dirty Works products. If you've tried any let me know what you thought to them and what your  recommend I should pick up to try.

If you want any more reviews on the Dirty Works products let me know in a comment below!

Expect a Dirty Works haul very soon.

Dirty Cleansing Wipes and Love,

Eye, Eye!

Arrrrg I'm a pirate! An Eyeshadow pirate! ha ha

I'm currently saving the edited version of my mini eyeshadow haul which I'll upload to my RebeccaHooperBeauty YouTube channel in about an hours time (it's HD so takes a long time to save ha ha!)

And I've taken photos of all the eyeshadow palettes and then swatched all the colours so you can get a clearer idea of the colour and the way it applies to your skin. I got four new palettes, the Make Up Academy Professional eyeshadow palette in Starry Night, another Make Up Academy Professional eyeshadow palette in Dusk til Dawn, a Colourworks London eyeshadow palette and a Sleek eyeshadow palette in The Original.

So here's the photos of the Make Up Academy Professional Palette in Starry Night

And here's the swatches of the Make Up Academy Professional Palette in Starry Night. The swatches are from the top row left to right and then the bottom row left to right as well.

Next, here is the photos of the other Make Up Academy Professional palette, Dusk Til Dawn. I love this palette but the third to last colour and the last colour have really chunky glitter in them which makes them quite crumbly as you try and apply them, they are nice colours and the best way to apply these would be to pat them on to keep the glitter in them while avoiding too much fallout.

And here's the swatches of the Make Up Academy Professional Palette in Dusk til Dawn.

The next is my favourite palette of the four, it's the Colourworks London palette and has some gorgeous colours in it, especially the last colour which is a bright fuscia with blue shimmer. Here's the photos of the palette.

And here's the swatches of the Colourworks London palette.

And Last but certainly not least is the Sleek palette in The Original. So here's the photos of the palette.

And here's the swatches of the lovely shimmery colours from The Original Sleek Palette.

So there you have it, there's all the swatches to the four new palettes that I've got, I hope you enjoyed reading this and make sure to check out my RebeccaHooperBeauty YouTube channel to see the video where I talk about the palettes and you can check out all my other beauty videos.

Eyeshadow and shimmery love, 

LUSH Goodies Haul and Review!

I went out on a fab shopping trip with mama Hooper just before Christmas and we brought all of our Christmas presents in one day, the crashed at an amazing restaurant for lunch then headed back home. Well that was the plan, lunch then home, what actually happened was that we marched past Lush which is on the way to the car park and actually did a real life physical U-Turn in the middle of the shopping centre into crowds of people (as it was nearly Christmas so it was insanely busy) straight into the welcoming arms of Lush!

We then went on to smell everything in the store and our very helpful shop assistant let me try out almost every exfoliator bar they had! Great fun and we got some great goodies too.

Aqua Mirablis and a Square Tin

The first thing I picked up was Aqua Mirablis and I got a square tin as well just to keep my lovely lush bar nice and to save it wearing away. I tried this exfoliator in store and another which was a black colour and smelt like blackberries, I preferred this one though and it's nearly ran out completely so I'll need to go in and pick up another one soon because I love it! It actually smells a bit like biscuits and they said that to me when I was in Lush and I was thinking 'really? That's not really selling it to me' ha ha ha. But it does actually smell nice and the best thing, it's a really strong exfoliator and I love the way it live your skin feeling really smooth.

Flying Fox Shower Gel

The next thing was the Flying Fox shower gel, this was for my mum because she loves the way it smells after I got it for her once ages ago. This shower gel has a honey based scent and smells amazing! however the shower gel I got for myself is the next one, and I think it smells EVEN better!

Snow Fairy Shower Gel

SNOW FAIRY! I am the biggest fan of this ever, and I hate the fact that this is a seasonal product but I always grab it the second I see it every winter and I use this straight after I've exfoliated with Aqua Mirablis and the two together leave my skin smooth and yummy smelling! And the best part, the scent stays with you for ages after you've used it. Which is good, because I can't get enough of the yummy, bubblegummy, candyflossy scent of Snow Fairy Shower Gel!

Cinders Ballistic

Cinders is a bath bomb I've wanted to try for such a long time because of the pop-rocks on top, I think that they are such a cute idea and the way they work with the autumnal scent is perfect for any bath tub over the colder months.

Lil Lush Pud Ballistic

The Lil Lush Pud Ballistic is still sat in my Lush draw patiently waiting to be used, it smells sweet and has a delicate fragrance which I am in love with and I can't wait to use this one.

Golden Wonder Ballistic

The girl helping us at the Lush store totally talking us into getting this one because she went and got a bowl of water took one of these off the table and plopped it in, just so we could see it! It was incredible, it bursts out with all sorts of different bright colours and smells amazing, it has an orangy scent to it which is fresh and is meant to smell like bucks fizz I believe ha ha. I haven't used this one either yet, I've been saving it. I can't wait to use it and see all the pretty colours.

Space Girl

This was another one of my muma's choices, she loved the smell of this one so in it went to our basket full of goodies! It's such a cute design and inside is tiny little pop rocks which add to the out of the world experience this bath bomb has!

Sunnyside

Sunnyside is one of the bubble bars I have been looking forward to using most and it turns your bath into an incredible liquid gold and is the perfect pick me up if your ever having a bad day.

Christmas Eve Bubble Bar

This is the cutest bubble bar ever and I love the design on it, it really makes me feel in the Christmassy mood. It has an amazing aroma of jasmine and is just a really calming and relaxing bubble bar which I shall miss dearly when it's no longer here with us in the summer months! But I will be happy in the knowledge that it will be back in the winter of 2012, well it better be anyway! ha ha.

All My Beautiful Lush Goodies!

New blog freshness and lush goodness,
