P.O.Y Strawberries! | BeautyBlogJemsx

Strawberries! Strawberries are one of my favourite ever fruits. They're so delicious and juicy. I also love them blended in a think smoothie or covered in melted chocolate- delicious! I'm lucky to have a P.O.Y (Pick Your Own) near to where I live and there is a lot of gorgeous home grown strawberries and also there is a lot of another fruit available to pick. It was a lot of fun to go around the farm and pick fruit. The farm smells delicious and the strawberries are so big! And you can pick how much you want! 

So check out one near you!

Testing Poundland Makeup! | BeautyBlogJems

Hey Guys!

So I have seen youtubers trying out Poundland (Dollar Store?)makeup and I wanted to try some myself. So I picked up a mascara, pressed powder and a foundation. So I have been trying these out for the past week and I am going to be sharing my thoughts with you guys today. 

When I first bought these make up there was a lot of different make up on the stand such as eyeliners, concealers, nail polish, foundations, bronzers, and I can tell you that there wasn't a huge shade range, there was probably around 4 different shades. Lucky for me they still had the light shades in stock!

So Poundland's make up brand is called 'Make Up Gallery' and does come with a range of products.

Gorgeous Fabulous Foundation
For £1 this foundation is not bad. It does have a light coverage however it is not build able and it does start to cake on your face. The colour I've got is the lightest and it is quite orange tone leaving the feeling that throughout the day you are going to be turning orange. I think that the packaging for all of the products is nice and sleek. The foundation is a tube and does get quite messy too.

Smoothly Does It Powder

When I first opened this product and swirled my brush around in it powder flew out everywhere. So for this product I recommend dabbing our brush into the pan instead of swirling. Th powder does do what it says, its smooths out my complexion and giving the smooth and soft feeling. This powder doesn't add a substantial amount of coverage but it does look nice on face and not too over done look. 

Never Ending Story Mascara

My first opinions on this mascara is that it is very thick and it defiantly is. Also the brush is HUGE but dealable. This mascara doesn't add a lot of colour to our lashes but it does gives a lot length to your lashes for £1. If you are after a very natural look to your lashes then this is perfect. It does come in more colours if you are after more colour, or maybe I picked up the wrong shade. Again it is not bad.

Thanks for reading,

Step by step guide: French Braids | beautyblogjems

Hey guys,

Sorry for the lack of uploads of blog posts, I have been really busy lately with school stuff and also had no motivation to create posts and take photos. BUT I AM BACK today with a new blog post, this week I am going to be showing you easy hairstyles that are done on medium to long hair. I am having a bit of an issue with photo uploads recently so if they are not there I apologize.  (Also thanks to my sister for letting me do the style in her hair)

Here's the step by step guide to get the perfect braids:

1. Part the hair centrally into 2 (aiming for two equal amounts of hair)
2. Get hold of a piece of hair from the top of one side. With that hair separate it into 3.
3. Start by doing ONE single plait 
4. For the next plaits keep adding in bits of hair 
5. Continue until you end up with no more hair to add in. 
6. Finish of the braid with a simple plait
7. Tie with a small band at the end
8. Repeat this process on the other side.

This probably isn't the best guide but it gives you a ruff idea. Any questions please comment below

Here's the finished hairstyle:
