VSCO cam review

If any of you know me, you'll know that I am very into photography. Oh my golly gosh have I found a gem for you.

Whether you are a professional photographer or an amateur photographer - I highly recommend vscocam.

Think Instagram- but good.

vscocam is thoughtfully designed, quality considerate and gentle on the actual photos. With their filters such as B1, B2, F2, M5 etc. you can edit your photos (like instagram) with out them looking sickly with tacky orange or purple hues. The people on vscocam are also considerably... classier. The photos are generally thought out and aren't just some girl's bitchin' sandwich or some douche's car.

When you sign up you are given a domain to your vsco grid, your vsco grid is like a tumblr page or a gallery. You can selectively upload your photos that you have edited onto a simplistic layout. So far that I know, you cannot edit the layout. However I like this as it stops the over the top backgrounds and horrid personalisations that people insist upon apply to pages. The simple white layout clearly mimics a portfolio or gallery which compliments photos so well.

I don't know how vscocam does it but it makes the iphone camera appear to be of a considerably high quality- which I have such a good time with. Because I always find buildings and objects that I want to capture but I don't have my chunky ass canon on me. Now I can capture them anytime anywhere.

Ten outta ten.
Well done vscocam

How to - 6 Steps To Red Lips That Last All Day

                                                                                                 1. Start by applying the concealer with the brush to selected spots and blemishes, I like to do oversized freckles and around the lip line, just so it is more defined. 






Apply the concealer to the back of the hand
to warm the product up for a more even spread/coverage. 

2. Blend the concealer with a dabbing motion of your finger, I like to use the Expert Face Brush after I've blended, just to create a smoother coverage. After use the powder puff that comes with your powder and in a light pressing motion go over the concealer in order to set it. Then take your Topshop Shimmer highlighter and run it over your bottom lip to                  create a fuller look. With your glow pot; you apply this to your chin and cupids bow. 

3. Lightly pull up your lip when you use your lip liner- this makes your lips naturally non-freakly bigger. Go on to colour in your entire lip

4. Now we go onto the lipstick. Apply it to the middle of your lips and with the lip brush spread the lipstick over your lips. By using the brush you get a cleaner line and don't apply too much; that makes it set quicker and last longer.

5. With the Face/Body brush with  hardly any powder lightly brush it over your lips- to set the lipstick.









If you want a matte look you can stop here, it is very vamp and lasts for aggeess... orrr..

6. If you want a glossy lip apply the lipgloss, this one doesn't last as long but it looks super glamorous and it's really bright.
