New fragrances just excited me, people who know me know that I just love buying them,  so when Nicola from Body Fantasies asked if I wanted to try out some new perfume body spray fragrances I was beyond excited!
I was generously sent 4 full sized (236ml) fragrances, however, you can get the 94ml in Superdrug for £3.99 online and in selected stores(full store list on their website)!
Let's get into the products before I burst with excited ;)

Hey guys, hope you had a great week! If you don't know I am going over to America for 3 months with Americamp to work in a summer camp. One of the criteria is to get a Visa, sadly there is not one in Scotland so I had to travel to London for the embassy! 

As you can tell I am a big fan of traveling so this was just another adventure. My parents kindly accompanied me on my travels and more excited paid for a trip to the Warner Bro Studios, London!  

I thought I would share some pics with you on my travels however I have a lot, so I am going to split this into two posts, The Studios, and the Embassy 'experience'!

The Warner Bros Studio Tour

We got the tube into Euston and then got the train into Watford, At Watford Station, there is a shuttle bus that takes you into the Studios, it costs £2.50 and they are every 10/15 mins.

 We got there pretty early, had some lunch and looked into the shop. Things are quite expensive so if you are a big big fan then bring lots of cash! 

We waited 15/20 mins in the queue, then got taken into two separate rooms with two separate videos about the making of Harry and the Studios. It then opens up to the great hall and the tour began.

The Great Hall was incredible, it was amazing to be standing in the hall where everything was filmed.
There were then props and costumes from the different films as you walked through, it was so interesting to see how small Daniel Radcliff was when he first started.
I loved seeing the Common Rooms and Professor Umbridge's office!

Then you made your way outside to one of my favourite bits, The Knight Bus, Privet Drive, The Hogwarts Bridge and Godric Hollow, as well as sipping Butterbeer which is, by the way, the best!!! 

This time Privet Drive was actually open for you to go inside, it was so cute to see the living room and the layout of the house! 

There was also the Hogwarts Express which you could have a wander through, it showed the different sets in the train throughout the films!
There were more props and a visual effect section, right now they have 'Directing Dobby' where you stand and move your body to move him. You also got to see all the creatures/animals used in the film, my favourite being Buckbeak the Hippogriff!

Then there was Diagon Alley, which was another favourite part of the tour, again it was amazing to be standing where they filmed the movie! It is so impressive to see all the little detailing in all the shops.
The last part of the tour was the replica of Hogwarts, I believe it was used to film far away shots in the film! It was massive and had so many intricate detailing, from the trees to the building!

It took us maybe an hour to walk round, although the say the average is 3 hours,  so if you want to have proper look then you have plenty of time!!
I visited it before however, it was still very interesting, it brought my inner Harry Potter fangirl out and took me back to when I was younger!
If you are a Harry Potter fan then I highly recommend going, it is so worth it!
If you have any questions, just ask.

Like I said I am going to upload my Visa experience so if you have any questions, just let me know?

Hey, guys, I thought I would do a slightly different post to what I normally do, instead of doing your average haul showing you what I got, I thought it would be fun to do a First Impression/ Get Ready With Me. All these products were bought either in Boots or Superdrug so all affordable! 

Prepare some funny photos of me trying to do my make-up lol ;) 

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation 

Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer

Rimmel London Sculpting Palette by Kate 

Maybelline Brow Satin 

Hello, Fresh faced Emma! 

I am gonna start with the Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation, I always stick to the same foundation but I  thought I would branch out and buy myself something new! 

Now I have pale skin so I normally go for Ivory, and it's normally fine, however, this Ivory is a tad dark. It is wearable and I can get away with it, however, I  just to blend like hell and hope for the best.

  

It is very full coverage so I only needed one layer which is a complete bonus!! I used my Real Technique sponge to apply, it blended well, although it did make it heavy. It is one of those foundations that you can feel on your face! :(

Other than that,  it sat nicely on my face, and gave a dewy finish, which I love! 

Can we talk about how funny I look in these pics, like Cheers up Ems! haha

Next up is Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer, now my holy grail for a long time has been Collection 2000 concealer but I find it has been oxidizing lately. Maybe it is the weather and my skin but when I seen so many people rave about the Bourjois concealer I thought I would give it ago! 

It is £4 dearer, which isn't a lot but I use concealer quite a lot so it seems like a big jump! 

It is a lot thinner consistency which I found made it very easy to blend but also stay in place. With it being thinner, it makes it feel so much lighter under the eyes! 

It is definitely a better shade for my skin and gives my eyes a brighter/ healthier look! I found it gave the best highlight and just worked perfectly!! Completely worth the money! 

I did use my Collection Concealer on my spots and blemishes as it is a lot thicker to cover them up! I then use my Rimmel Clear Complexion powder to set my face! Not too much as a wanted a dewy finish! 

Eyebrow time, I really enjoy doing my brows so I was really excited to use this Maybelline Brow Satin Pencil, I hadn't heard that much about it, one side is a very fine pencil and the other is a sponge so I thought it would be interesting! 

As you can see I have fair hair so finding something the right shade is quite hard, I think the colour is perfect for me. I got it in the shade Dark Blonde! 

I was pretty disappointed with this, the pencil was so thin that it snapped so many times and I actually have none of the pencil left! When I was trying to fill my eyebrows in, I found it quite hard to blend and get the right shape and don't get me started on the sponge! As you can see from the picture below I was confused as to what it actually did to my eyebrows, it is so strange! 

It was good for a base to outline my brows, but it was so light that I actually had to use my Naked Basic 2 palette to fill them in and make them look nice! :(

Last product was Rimmel's Sculpting Palette by Kate, in the shade #1. I have actually had this for a while but I thought I would give you my thoughts!

The bronzer is just a pretty shade, it has a little shimmer through it but it still is great for contour! It blends easily and gave a gorgeous finish to my face! It will be a go to bronzer in Spring for sure!!

The highlight is probably my fav, it is a gorgeous golden shimmer and perfect to make the cheek bones stand out! It applies easily, and sits nicely! It has been my go to highlight for a while! It is such a great price as well!

I don't tend to wear blush that much, however, this was quite a natural blush, like the other in the set it blended well and gave a little colour back to my cheeks!

The whole set is perfect to take on my travels with me as it is all in one, they are pretty colours and I have been completly in love with it!

Lol at my contour face ;)

I then used my Naked Basic 2 palette for my eyeshadow, Maybelline The Falsies for my mascara!
I lined my lips with Koko K and applied Sleek's Birthday suit on top and then the look was complete!
I then tried to take some serious photos but it never happened so queue some weird selfies lol





To sum it all up, the Bourjois Concealer is a must have and I will have to repurchase this again for sure.
The Rimmel Sculpting Palette is also a must with the three pretty shades!
The Rimmel Foundation will be worn on days I feel a little more daring and have more time but I will use it.
However, the Maybelline Brow Satin was a complete fail, I would recommend spending a bit more money for something better, a thicker pencil maybe??

I hope you enjoyed this post, I hope to more First Impressions and GRWM in the future!
Did you like this look? Have you tried any of these products?
