~New camera!~

Hello!
Just a quick post to tell you that this blog is going to improve! How? you may ask, my answer is that I got a new camera today! are you excited yet? I am, its a 14 mega pixel Nikon Coolpix, this is exactly what it looks like...

Sadly there where no freebies with mine:(.My parents got this for me as an early birthday present as my birthday is in August and I wanted a camera for when I go to London on the 20th of June (and my blog) it was £63 in Argos which was half price!
  I'm really delighted with this and can't wait to take my own pictures for this blog:D.
  I'm starting to get a little impatient with this blog as I only have one follower (who is my friend) but hey, I'm sure the biggest of blogs didn't have 100000 followers in there first week.
  Byeeee!

~Macadamia Healing Oil Vs L'oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil~

Hello!
So today's post is going to be a step up from my usual reviews, I will be comparing two products, I will be comparing the Macadamia healing oil treatment to the L'oreal Elvive extraordinary oil.


                       Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment
Healing Oil Treatment

This product comes in four different sizes, .34 oz ($6.50), 1 0z ($13.50), 4.2 0z ($39.95) and 10 0z ($75.00)
I purchased the .34 oz bottle in December and still have 1/4 left, using this bottle every 2 days, it has lasted me a very long time.
I really like this product, it makes my hair feel very nourished and soft after using it. This hair oil smells amazing, a very hard scent to describe, but amazing and the scent lingers in your hair throughout the day which is a bonus. 
Since this product is pretty pricey, I wouldn't fancy buying the full size, I may repurchase the small size in the future.



L'oreal Elvive Extraordinary oil


This product only comes in one size which is 100ml, the retail price for this is 12 euro. I was only bleedin' delira when I came across this product in my local pharmacy for 4.99 euros!
I really love this product, I was so glad to get it for less than half price. I honestly think that its just as good as the macadamia oil! It does all of the same things, makes my hair feel nourished, soft and healthy, it also smells heavenly, this one smells exactly like Guess Seductive perfume which I love!
So overall, both oils are great quality, but if you don't have money to be throwing around, defiantly go for the L'oreal one!
What is your favourite hair oil? I'd love to know!
Adios!

~Boots Skin Clear Oil-Free Mattifying Lotion Review~

Hello!
Today's post is on a product that I am obsessed with recently, it is Boots Skin Clear Oil-Free Mattifying Lotion. This product retails for £3.00 and is half price on the Boots website at the moment!

   This product is amazing for so many reasons which I will list in a minute, but I don't use this as a moisturising lotion, I use it as a primer.
  I discovered this product while watching one of xxhey2's youtube videos, she mentioned how much she loves this product so I went out to Boots the next day to purchase this 75ml bottle of beauty.
  When you apply this product to your skin, it honestly feels like an expensive primer that you bought in a department store! It just glides on to your skin and leaves you with a smooth surface to apply foundation, it also removes all oil on your face which is a bonus for people with oily skin but doesn't really benefit people with dry skin.
   This product smells ah-mazing! the scent is so hard to describe but its truly gorg!
    The only thing its lacking is extra staying power for your foundation, but I will forgive it because it isn't meant to be a primer.
  Overall, I love this product and I will defiantly be repurchasing! what is your favourite primer? Leave it in the comments!
  Bye!
     
 

~NYC All Day Long Foundation Review~

Hello Everyone! I don't know who exactly I am talking to since I have no followers so if you like this post, please follow or leave a comment! or do both if you want:)
So today's post is going to be a review on NYC's All Day Long foundation.
This foundation comes in 5 shades, all ranging from pale to dark, If your skin is very dark I don't think there would be a shade to match you but if you are very pale like me, there will be a shade for you, (my shade is Classic Ivory).
When i came across this product in my local pharmacy, I was amazed that a cheap drugstore brand finally made a pale foundation! I grabbed it and ran to the counter to pay a mere 3.99 euros.
I was pretty impressed with this product, It complety matched my pale completion. I also love the texture of this product, it almost feels like water gliding on to your face, it is easy and fast to apply, as for staying power, I usually wear this for a whole day (roughly 8am to 10pm) and it has usually worn off by the time I go to take it off.   
This foundation, in my opinion is light to medium coverage, if you put on one layer it can act as a tinted moisturiser as it is a pretty moisturising foundation but if you built it up with a few layers, it is a medium coverage foundation.
I have both oily and dry skin and this works perfectly for me! it doesn't try out my skin or break me out, which is amazing for the price.
Overall, its not a Chanel quality foundation, but it is amazing for the price and amazing for someone on a tight budget. I would give this foundation 4/5 stars.
Thanks for reading and comment below what your favourite foundation is!:)

Hello and Welcome!

                                        Hello!

You probably don't know me, but my name is clearly stated twice already as Tara Jane Quigley. well, actually, I'm just known as Tara Quigley in everyday life as Jane is my middle name but i think Tara Jane Quigley has a certain ring to it. Wow, that was a long introduction to my name..
   As I write my first blog at 10:29 at night, I am drinking Fanta and eating roses sweets, (delish). To be honest, I dont really know what to write about in this blog, i guess i will tell you what this blog will be about and what I am interested in.
 This blog will be focused around makeup, skincare, haircare and fashion as these are my interests. I will tell you my favourite bloggers in the form of a list because I like lists.
I shouldn't pick a favourite from my favourites but it has to be Thunder + Threads or Leanne Woodfull, she is amazing, I love her style, personality, humour, interests and everything in between. I have reasons for all of the others but I am too lazy to list them all.
   Hopefully if I work hard with this blog I might get a couple of views on my blogs, so please follow this blog, even leave a comment, It really would make my day, leave me some constructive critism.
   Thats all I really have to say for now, feel free to request anything you want me to do a blog on and I will do it:)
