Mac "Brave" Lipstick *Review*




It’s time that I admit something to you all... I am now a lipstickholic. The last few weeks I have brought so many new lipsticks as well as lip products that it’s frightening! But what’s more alarming is that I’m going London soon and Mac is giving the university students 35% off for the day! Might as well increase my overdraft already.

With that being said, I’m writing this blog post about my new addition to my Mac lipstick collection. Say hello to ‘Brave’. I’d been eying up this bad boy for quite some time and when I found out I had to do a 60s inspired make-up look at uni then it was only right to finally buy this lipstick. I mean it would have been wrong of me not to have brought it when I needed it to create my 60s look (so I kept telling myself).

However, I am so happy I did buy it. It’s such a unique lipstick in my eyes because it looks different on everyone. Sometime it can look more brownish depending on your skin tone or even lilac again depending on your skin tone. It’s a satin lipstick which means it’s not matte and you won’t need to worry about it getting patchy and dry. It’s such a versatile lipstick which I believe any lipstick lover should have in their lipstick collection; especially if you’re not into bold, statement lips.
 
This lipstick can easily been worn in daytime with just a simple cat eye flick or go full out with a smoky eye, false lashes for a night out. Told you this lipstick’s versatile!   

What do you lipstick lovers think? You ever tried ‘Brave’? Let me know what other lipsticks you think I should try!

October Skin Care Favourites!



After looking back at all the posts I’ve posted in the past, I’ve realised that I’ve never posted anything like a monthly favourites or skin care favourites. The reason why I haven’t is because I’ve always done a monthly favourites on my Youtube channel but I’ve decided that every month, I’m going to pick 3 products which I’ve spoke about in my monthly favourites and do an  in-depth review about them on my blog! Starting now! So if you’d like to see more of this kind of blog post them make sure you leave a comment, letting me know.

The three products which I will be expressing my love for last month (October) are all skin care products. I said in my October favourites video on my channel that October was all about me trying to get better skin which meant trying new skin care products from cleansers, toners, face masks and even make-up removal products. As well as trying new products to help reduce my blemishes and redness I also made sure I’ve bee
n eating a lot more fruit/veg by drinking smoothies!

Super Facialist by Una Brennan (Neroli Firming Daily Brightening Cleanser)

I know, a bit of a mouthful to say, but so worth it. This cleanser is perfect for people who have sensitive skin (like me) because it gently removes make-up without you having to scrub your face vigorously. For me this product have been perfect as it’s really brightened up my face (because the weather is dull doesn’t mean your face has to as well). It’s also combined with Hyaluronic Acid which is known for hydrating the skin. Can easily be brought from Boots for £8 or if you’re lucky then try TKMax because I managed to buy mine for £4!  

Soap & Glory (No Clogs Allowed Face Mask)  

Easily one of the best face masks I’ve tried in a long time. Like I said in my October Favourites video, it’s a self heating, deep pore, detox mask which helps unclog your pours and helps remove excess dirt and oil. I’ve never normally been a fan of face masks which self heat because I always find them uncomfortable on my face because they seem to just get hotter and hotter. However, this face mask it gets to a certain warm temperature and just stays at that warmth. After washing the face mask off your face is left feeling smooth and clean (what more can you want from a face mask?).         


Clinique Anti-blemish Solutions (Clarifying lotion)

I might have mentioned about this toner in one of my older videos but last month I went to John Lewis and decided to repurchase this toner on the Clinique counter for £18. I remember when I started getting into skin care and realising that high quality toners weren’t as cheap as I would have liked but now I’ve come to the conclusion that when it comes to skin care sometimes you just have to spend a little bit more if you want better skin. I mean it is your skin after all and we really should look after it. So this toner isn’t cheap. However, it does work! 


Don't forget to leave a comment telling me what you guys think!! Also it would be amazing if you could give it a share and maybe a follow!

Halloween 2014!



I’ll start by saying I hope you all had a great Halloween this year! This year for me was the first time I actually decided to make an effort. So of course I decided to go with one of the gayest costumes you could go out as which was a bunny rabbit! But since it was Halloween it wasn’t acceptable to just go as a seductive bunny so it wasn’t long before I decided a zombie bunny would work.

So after looking online for some bunny ears and a tail I came across a great deal which was for the ears, tail and a bow tie for £4. After seeing that I get a bow tie with the ears and tail I was sold; let alone how cheap it was.

I already had fake blood which I got at a local make-up shop when I went home for Easter and my contacts were from a fancy dress shop. I was actually really nervous about putting contacts in for the first time but luckily I had a friend to show me how to put them in. After many, many failing attempts I finally got the hang of it (until coming home drunk and trying to take them out...that was trickier).

The next thing I needed was a dark red make-up product for under the eye (since I had to make the costume a bit scarier and not utterly sexy). My friend recommended Mac Cranberry eye shadow but after looking at it, it wasn’t the right colour. I then started talking to one of the Mac girls (happened to be one of the nicest beauty counter girls I’ve spoke to) and she showed me a blusher called ‘Fever’ and it was exactly what I was looking for!

I got some cheap black jeans from Primark and did a bit of DIY by cutting them (weren’t short enough so rolled them up as well) and getting a white shirt from Topman in the sale for £8 pounds and made some rips to show of some more flesh ;))

Then finally my costume was compete and I was ready to PARTY!

What did you guys go as for Halloween? Leave a comment and let me know; also don’t forget to follow my blog which you can do in the top right corner and maybe give it a share :D

Going Through A Breakup



I’m just going to start by saying I’m no expect when it comes to relationships or break ups but I wanted to share my opinion on the subject. Okay, so certain things recently have made me think about breakups and how we cope going through one. How vulnerable we are when in a relationship which is the beauty of it since us humans find it hard to let our guard down and depend on people (well at least me anyway).

Like I said I’m no expect. I’ve been in 1 serious relationship but I’ve also managed to really like a few other guys and could have seen myself falling for them but then I ended up getting hurt but now looking back I’ve learnt a lot. I’ve learnt about the things I did wrong and what I shouldn’t have done, however, I’ve also remembered that I did things right! Relationships are a bit like exams; you can’t get everything right (or less your just stupidly smart) but the more times you revise and work hard the more questions you’ll get right, and that’s the same when it comes to relationships. The more you go on dates, meet new people the more you realise the things you’re doing wrong but also the things your doing right.

After coming out of a relationship you don’t really know what you want, and that’s okay. Of course you’re not going to know what you want, you’ve been with somebody (probably in love), depending on them, putting there needs before yours, thinking as long as you’ve got that person by your side; you can take on the world. As time goes on you heal and you realise life goes on. When you’ve cared about someone a lot you never do truly forget them, there’s always going to be something every so often that reminds you of that person and that’s normal. Even if you ended on bad terms I’m sure there were times when you were happy and those times are the times you need to remember, so why would you want to forget them?

Like I wrote earlier after a break up you don’t really know what you want or what to do, but you do notice that your life isn’t the same anymore and that’s what’s going to push you and help you move on. No matter if you’re ready or not, life continues and there’s nothing you can do so you’ve got no choice but to pick yourself up and carry on.  

Looking back at my past relationships and people I was ‘seeing’, I kind of laugh at myself thinking “what was I doing...why didn't I do that?”  and those kind of thoughts are the ones that are going to make you grow as a person and change the way you handle being in a relationship next time.

A lot of people only see breaking up as a bad thing. Yes, breaking up isn’t the nicest thing because you’ve got so use to how things are and depending on your partner and lets not forget you've probably just had your heart broken (which no matter how much ice cream you eat it doesn't really help). However, I’ve learnt positive things do come out of breaking up with someone, I look at it like it’s the world telling you it’s your time to grow as a person and life is taking you on a different path (deep & cheesy I know but that’s how I see it).

One thing you shouldn’t do is regret being in that relationship. Look at it like this, if you weren’t in that relationship you might have not turned out to be the person you are today and you might have made different choices and ended up taking your life down a different path. Or your partner helped kicked started turning your dreams into reality etc. One quote which is so true...

"No relationship is ever a waste of time. If it didn't bring you what you want, it taught you what you don't want."

The last thing I will say is everything happens for a reason. You might have thought you found the one, and you might be heartbroken or going through a breakup right now but in the long run your realise that it wasn’t meant to be and you'll finally be able to move on and start the next chapter of your life (GAY! I know).

It would mean so much if you haven’t already to follow my blog which you can do in the top right hand corner!

Topman Haul! *Work Clothes*



A few days ago I decided to go Topman and buy some new clothes especially to wear for work. I was determined to stay away from buying baggy jumpers and warm clothes because my work get’s so hot that wearing anything more than a t-shirt or a short sleeve shirt I’d end up sweating like a pig (not attractive!).

The first and only shirt I brought was nothing out of my comfort zone, I mean I love my bright floral prints but because we’re going into the colder seasons, I don’t think it’s suitable for me to be wearing tropical, bright colours when all it does in the UK is rain! So I was lucky enough to find this shirt which is still bold, covered in floral prints but the colour palette is perfect for this time of year.

The next thing I brought was a baggy t-shirt which kind of reminds me of a tie-dyed acid inspired design. I’ve never been a fan of tie-dyed t-shirts which is really weird because I literally love anything which has anything to do with the whole vintage feel. I love the mix between the black and the bloody red which just reminds me of old school Gothic vibe.

Third thing I brought was a dark grey baggy t-shirt with random placed white dots, which kind of remind me of a galaxy inspired print. Easy to throw on with some black skinnies and ready to go! I also like the fact that the sleeves are rolled up just to give it more of an effortless look.

I never use to like the whole American, sporty jersey tops but suddenly I’ve took an interest in them! I picked up a black one (of course it had to be black) with just some simple stripes across the arm and typography across the front. I like the way this top looks on me how it’s baggy but it doesn’t drown me. Another reason why I’m so pleased with this top is because it’s so soft and so versatile you can easily undo it and have it as an over top (thin jacket) with a vest/white t-shirt underneath it.

I kept telling myself to stay away from the knitwear but then I saw this turtleneck and literally couldn’t help myself. I think every time autumn comes around I just get drawn to turtlenecks. I love the fact that it’s so soft and it’s not skin tight but not extremely baggy at the same time. It’s so easy to dress up or down as well which is always a good thing.

Have you been shopping recently? Brought anything nice? Leave a comment and let me know! Or you can tweet me @ryanpaynesworld

Candle Lover!



So I never really do reviews about anything apart from beauty/make-up related products. However, I really can’t help myself and express what I’ve came across and I’m pretty sure all the candle lovers will be appreciative!

So let me just start by saying if you’re a candle lover then you need to get down to Primark and stock up on one of their new Christmas scented candles
which is cinnamon and maple. This scented candle has easily become one of my favourite candles to burn, after burning the candle for the first time, the next day I went back and brought another two!

I’ve personally never been the biggest fan of cinnamon (maybe it was ever since I did the cinnamon challenge…) I always find with cinnamon scented things that the aroma is too overwhelming for my liking but with this candle the balance is perfect and just screams winter at me.

I’ve been loving burning these candles whilst snuggled in bed watching Ugly Betty (Yes, somehow I’ve gotten back into it, shuuush!) and whilst they smell amazing, they also look cute as well and really do start getting you in the mood for the big season! However, the biggest thing I need to mention is that the candles don’t even cost £1 each…yes…let that just hit you; they cost 80p per candle! Enough said in my eyes!

 Have you tried these candles before? What’s your favourite winter candle?

Brown! Brown! Brown! *Lip Products*



So they’ve been no secret that the whole brown lip is one of the most talked about high street make-up trend which has kicked off in the last few months. You may ask why all of a sudden everyone is going back to the fuller dark browns. Well does this name ring a bell…Kylie Jenner?

Yes, Kylie Jenner (part of the Kardashian family) has started a whole new trend this season which is all about the lip lined lips and the matte brown lipsticks! This whole new make-up trend came to my attention when I decided to take a visit to Mac, when I got to Mac I fancied buying a brown lipstick to add to my collection and every time I asked one of the staff can I have this lipstick they would turn around and say “sorry, sold out ”. One of the staff explained it was because everyone wanted the ‘Kylie Jenner look’.

After finally getting a brown lipstick (Mac – Spirit). I decided to blog about my top 3 lip products which work together to create such a stunning, sexy brown lip or work perfectly just on their own.

Lip liner – Latte by I.O.U

Lipstick – Satin, Spirit by Mac

Lip-gloss – Rose Gold by Revlon

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free *Review*



It’s no secret that I’m not the biggest fan of trying new foundations but let me just start by saying I’m so happy my friend persuaded me into buying the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. It has now replaced my beloved Max Factor 3 in 1 foundation which I have been using for over two years!

There’s so many great qualities, why I love this tinted moisturizer, even though it’s a tinted moisturizer it gives of amazing coverage and really does even your skin tone. I love the fact that it’s so light and makes your skin look fresh and gives you a natural, healthy glow but most of all looks like you’re not wearing any make-up at all! It might be on the more pricey side of tinted moisturizers but it’s worth every penny in my eyes (£27).

When I first started using this tinted moisturizer I wasn’t the biggest fan because I wasn’t use to using my fingers when applying my foundation. However, after a few days of using my fingers I finally got use to it. To make sure it was fully buffed into my skin after blending the product with my fingers I get a small brush and just buff my face and neck to make sure it’s all blended.

I love how easy it blends and even using a small amount it really does go along way! It's quite buildable; usually I add a little bit more around my chin to cover the redness. This product is perfect to cover mild acne scars and redness around the face. Another reason why I’m obsessed with this product is because it doesn't crease especially on the drier areas like the under eye area.

What do you guys think? Have you tried this product? Leave a comment or tweet me @ryanpaynesworld

New Channel!!



So I don’t actually know what’s been going on the last few weeks, I feel like I’ve lost a lot of motivation from blogging to filming Youtube videos but I’ve just started getting back into it and enjoying doing what I use to love to do! So I’ve finally started my second year at uni, which means I need to plan my time a lot wiser. That being said I’m really excited to announce I’ve started a new channel which is all about Drag and Sylvia Blow (me in drag). This channel is just a light hearted, funny channel expressing a different side to me. I was going to add this to my main channel but decided to just create a new channel. Apart from just having random vlogs, there will also be drag transformations and drag make-up looks which I’m really excited about!

So if you would like to go and check out my second channel the link is below and it would be amazing if you could subscribe!

St-Ives St Ives Blemish Fighting Facial Scrub *Review*



Let me just start by saying why has no one ever told me about this scrub!?! For me this facial scrub is heaven in a tube! It helps give your skin a boost to maintain a healthy glow, whilst gently exfoliating, removing oil, dirt and dull skin cells. Sounds perfect right?

Well after using this scrub for more than 3 weeks now, I’ve noticed such a different when it comes to my skin. My redness has gone down a lot; I’m also not getting any nasty red spots or new blemishes anymore! This facial scrub is perfect for all skin types which suffer from blemishes no matter if you’ve got oily, sensitive skin etc.

Another reason why I’m loving this scrub is the fact that it’s got 100% natural extracts which means you’re not putting any harmful chemicals onto your face that could lead to damage of the skin such as making your skin more sensitive or causing redness.  

Apart from all that goodness, another reason why you realSuperdrug or £3.99 in Boots. It’s also been rated UK’s no.1 scrub brand so St Ives must be doing something right!
ly should try this product is because you haven’t got anything to lose! It’s £1.99 in

Rimmel Kate Moss Collection *Lipstick Review*



I'm pretty excited to do my first actual lipstick review. I can't believe I've never done a lipstick review before, I mean I have a pretty big obsession over lipsticks for some reason; I believe a lipstick can really make or break an outfit! The lipstick I will be reviewing is from the Rimmel London Kate Moss Collection which is number 15. I’ll start of by saying I hate the fact that the Kate Moss lipstick collection are all in numbers and not cute, dainty names.

Well anyway I love this lipstick and cannot wait to use it in a photo shoot. However, I have to say it’s a different colour than what I thought but still it’s such a stunning colour and I haven’t seen another lipstick which looks like this in such a long time! It comes across a metallic lilac but when I applied it, it came out more pinky purple with a hint of gold metallic undertones. Which I have to say really impressed me!

So have you tired this lipstick before? What are your thoughts? Tweet me @ryanpaynesworld or leave a comment letting me know!

Starbucks Catch-up OOTD!!

I haven't done an ootd in such a long time and I know that the last outfit of the day was a success so I thought it was about time I blogged another one! I'm going to be trying to do a lot more outfit of the days, so if you like me blogging what I’m wearing then don’t forget to tell me either by leaving a comment or Tweet me @ryanpaynesworld

Since taking two weeks of work I decided to go home for one week to see my family and my old friends and went for a catch up with one of my girlies who I haven't seen in nearly 5 months! So clearly we needed to have a little gossip about guys and our love lives ;)


I decided I wanted to wear all black with a touch of print. I wore my vintage jacket over my black baggy t-shirt from H&M with my Topman Black skinny jeans. To give my outfit a little bit of an edge I decided to wear a chunky black and white chain which was in the sale for £3 at Topman! My shoes are fake Doc Martins but shuush don't tell, which I got from a local shoe shop a long time ago! So that completes my outfit. A simple but timelessly chic outfit, I mean how can you go wrong with wearing black?

Being Gay Isn't A Choice!



Okay, so about a week ago a subscriber of mine wrote me a comment about her friend thinking being gay is a choice - a lifestyle. This then got me thinking… Do people actually think being gay is a choice? We choose to get bullied, hated and even physically assaulted just because of our sexuality and it comes down to us choosing that ‘lifestyle’. Who the hell would pick a lifestyle when it involves being bullied physically and mentally? Who would pick a lifestyle when it involves losing your family and feeling isolated from everyone around you?

No. We can’t help finding the same sex attracted. We can’t help falling in love with the same sex. We can’t help being gay.

Personally it makes me angry and upset, the fact other humans can be so stupid and believe our sexuality is a choice and we can choose it. Let me ask every single straight person…

When did you decide to be straight?

Well let me tell you. You didn’t. I find it insulting how some people have the nerve to question someone’s sexuality. Why does it affect you? Does it bother you that much to know why they’re gay?

Well let me just tell you this. Instead of questioning someone’s sexuality (which has nothing to do with you) maybe focus on your own life.

Revlon PhotoReady Powder Foundation *Review*



It's been a while since I last did a beauty review so I wanted to start by saying I’ve found a cheaper powder foundation which personally seems to last longer overall and also stays on a lot longer! Win - win situation! I thought I’d never be able to find a better powder foundation than The Body Shop one but after trying many powder foundations I came across Revlon PhotoReady Powder Foundation. I’ve never been a big fan of Revlon’s make-up but this foundation is amazing!

It’s perfect if you like wearing BB/CC cream or if you don’t like to wear a lot of make-up. However, if you’re having a break out or if you like more coverage it’s so easy to build up and buff into your skin for a full coverage without it looking cakie or patchy!  

I recommend people that don’t like to spend hours doing their make-up or if you’re in a rush to work, college etc to try this foundation out. If you’re on a budget and can’t afford expensive foundation then for £11 pounds (Superdrug) you can’t really beat it!

What do you guys think about this powder foundation? Leave a comment and let me know or you can tweet me @ryanpaynesworld

Sorry Guys + New Hair!



So before I even try and worm my way out of giving you guys plenty of reasons why I suddenly stopped blogging and updating every week. Let me just say I’m sat here on my laptop drinking the best freaking mint hot chocolate ever! However, on more important news… I’M BACK!! WITH LILAC HAIR!!!!



Leave a comment telling me if you like my hair lilac or not :D

So with all that out of the way, I feel like I own you guys an explanation why I suddenly stopped. One of the reasons why I stopped blogging was my whole world kind of changed (gay as it sounds its true)! Which anyone who followers me on Facebook or watches my Youtube videos will have a good guess as why it all changed.

After all the drama which happened I kind of lost myself and forgot about what I loved doing and lost all my motivation and passion as well. Another reason why I suddenly stopped was because I just moved house which was stressful and I really hope to never move house EVER AGAIN!!

So yeah, those are some of my reasons why I stopped blogging, but like I said earlier, I’m back and I’ve got so many lovely products which some of you who watch my YouTube channel (ryanpaynesworld) will have seen but what I love about blogging is I can really go into detail about each product and give you my thorough opinion and the fact some of these products I believe everyone should try! Apart from that, I also want to do many more OOTD posts, as I seem to get asked a lot on Youtube where I got a certain shirt, necklace etc and just seems perfect to tie that in with my blog :D

That is everything I guess. So make sure you follow and look out for a new post in the next week!

Top 3 Hairsprays *Review*

The first hairspray is the Pantene Pro-V Curly Hair Series Satin Hold Hairspray perfect for giving straight hair some texture and is perfect for people with curly hair. It gives an all-day, frizz-free hold and doesn’t make your hair feel dry. It’s also perfect for keeping your curls under control without making the hair crunchy or hard and you don’t have to worry about a hairspray, which smells bad as this hairspray smells amazing!

The second hairspray is John Frieda Luxurious Volume All Out Hold Hairspray reviews online have raved about this hairspray being “like cement’. So if you like your hair to stay in style (perfect for shorter, more textured hair) with this hairspray you don’t have to worry about your hair falling out of style. This hairspray will hold your hair in place no matter what, humidity, windy weather or rain – you name it! Apart from being a hairspray, which will make your hair rock hard if you like big hair, you won’t want to miss out either. Perfect if you have flat hair and you want to give it some volume.

The last hairspray is the most expensive one we recommend, but it’s worth it! The TIGI Bed Head Masterpiece Hairspray is perfect for all the people who love serious volume. It gives massive volume without stiffness and in no time at all you can go from flat hair to max volume. With this product, people also rave about the smell, being such a sweet unforgettable smell that will just leave you wanting to spray it all the time!

Outfit Of The Day - Working The Blazer!


This whole look is to show of my more classy style but still chic and fun, I paired the blazer (Topman) with a leather t-shirt (Topman) to match the blazer's collar. I didn't want to wear black jeans because I felt like the outfit would have had to much black in it, so I decided to pair my favourite (only pair of blue jeans I actually like) with it. To give the outfit a pop of colour I also wore my gold necklace and of course all my rings.

I decided to have my hair curly because having it slick back might have added more of a serious vibe and wearing so much jewellery I thought curly hair would add to the edgy, funky vibe I wanted to create.

I made sure the blazer didn't look out of place with the rest of the outfit by matching the materials up (leather collar with leather t-shirt).

What do you guys think? Do you like the outfit? Don't forget you can always tweet me @ryanpaynesworld
