Supply teachers?!

Aloha,

Okay so my friend, let's call her "m" as I'm not going to share personal details about her without her say so online, has recently read my blog and she said it was good but suggested that I should do something others haven't done before and divert from just a mainstream stereotypical beauty blog! So I will still post about beauty but let's trial this!

So today I'm going to talk about supply teachers! Now I'm sure if you are still in full time education you know how...how shall I put this? Exciting it is for some people when we have a supply teacher! "M"s suggestion was for me to do a 'how to annoy your supply teacher' guide but actually I'm just going to rate my top 3 supply teachers so far and tell you their own little story about each!

So at number 3 is a guy we had for science whilst our teacher was ill and we just sat listening to him talk about chimneys! He claimed to be a science teacher but we got taught about chimneys;) it wasn't in our scheme of work but we had good laughs with him! 

At number 2 we have this amazing Canadian guy for history and instead of doing the work set, we actually went round the room and when it got to you you were allowed to ask 1 question to the teacher about him! I remember I asked did he carry his lunch in a paper bag in England! He said yes! There were other questions such as say aluminium and if you haven't heard a Canadian person say it before look it up on YouTube, it's actually really funny!

And at 1, it's got to be our maths cover way back! We came in to see this poor woman writing on the smart board with a whiteboard pen! She realized her mistake and tried to clean it up but I swear we all have to look at that mark when we go in that classroom and laugh because it was a simple mistake but just made us all laugh at the time! 

2posts in a day, God I'm good! I hope you like this and please comment below what you'd like to see more of and if this was a good post xx thanks xx

Shopping Spree :)

Aloha,

First of all, I'd like to say that I'm really sorry. I am leaving blogging... ONLY JOKING! No, I'm sorry that I haven't posted for a few weeks. I am not going to make excuses for myself because although I've had a lot of major big decisions that will shape the rest of my life recently. Especially my art project, still not decided on that one. Basically (going slightly off topic here) my stimulus is to do a project on 'Fear of dust'. Soooo... yeah if you have any ideas on how to help me with that it would be appreciated.

Anyways, quite recently I went on a shopping spree that was pretty big. I visited Peacocks, Lush, Primark, New look, Claires (etc). I bought some really nice products, clothes and accessories. I'm just going to say that my taste may not be to yours and so you shouldn't judge me. Anyway, the first thing I am going to show you is the Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder in the shade 004 sandstorm. I love this powder because it just gives me a natural glow and sets my concealer if I ever wear any. I don't wear a lot of makeup because I have eczema and I therefore have really sensitive skin but this seems to be ok, and I am gradually getting out of my sensitive skin stages.

Matte Powder, my cute 'lil brush

To go with this I bought a Primark essentials powder brush, which I ABSOLUTELY recommend to all of you! I was going to buy a real techniques brush but to be perfectly honest with you I felt like I would just be paying for the label. Honestly, for the little amount of powder I wear it is pointless buying it. But, I think that the Primark brush is so soft and I think that is more crucial than paying for a label. So no offence to Techniques Teenagers but I prefer the Primark brushes as they are soft and provide even coverage, which means that I'm happy, my brush is happy, and my face looks happy!

I also bought quite a few bits and pieces for my hair. I recently had my hair cut shorter and I just find that little things like grips and bows come in so much more handy and are used so much more now that putting my hair up in a bobble is strictly for PE only (the only time when I know I look horrible and I don't care (every other time I actually do care)). So I bought a big bow which is green tartan and I absolutely lovely. I bought this from new look for around 3 pounds. I also bought 2 smaller bows, one just normal black and one with really cute little daisies on. These were about 2 pounds and they were from peacocks too. I then bought some claw type grips, you know the ones I mean, with a light blue paisley pattern, a fuschia pink one, and a slightly darker blue paisley pattern one. I think these were 2 pounds from new look (bargain if you ask me). I then bought some of your bog-standard grips, 49p from superdrug if you wanted to know;)

  Bow and grips...

I fell like this post has gotten a bit boring so instead of writing about stuff I bought I'm just going to add the pictures I would have spoken about below. If you would like me in my next post to speak about them then please comment with a message below or post a picture of a pug with the hashtag #justagirlshopping and I will be sure to look although no-one will post because that was really random *hehe*

Well I guess this is goodbye until I post again which I am hoping to do by Friday because I let you guys down so you better be getting those hashtags up on instagram soon! Here are the pictures xxxx

 NSPA body sprays in the scents exotically creamy
coconut and seriously intense passion fruit. I 
bought these from Asda for less than 2 pounds.
 Two chunky eyes eye liner pencils are from 
Peacocks and are gorgeous. I use them for brows 
too.
Lush products bought from Lush (obviously). 
They smell amazing and look amazing. Honey bee
has oats in it apparently which is really good for eczema.
Just a little note about the lush products. I chose honey bee (to the right) and Ickle baby bot (to the left) on smells rather than luxury in the bath. I quite like having a lush product in my bedroom to give it a nice scent. What I do is put it in a box in my room whilst I'm at school or out and about and when I'm back I take the lid off my box and enjoy the scents filling my room! I love it so much and if you take anything from this blog it should be putting lush products in boxes :)

Thank you all, if anyone who reads it although I know one person who does and that is my bestie so go check out her blog - pheethebeaut.blogspot.com you'll like her blog more than mine <3

First post;)

Aloha, 
God dammit I love that word! How are you all? 
Just a little disclaimer if you like before I begin-I am not that bad at keeping to deadlines but please do remind me if I do forget something important! I have exams coming up soon so I don't think there will be much going on but anyway! Also I'd just like to put it out there that I'm not going to post everyday and it's not all going to be beauty! I'll try to post at least once a week but hopefully I will get into a routine!

Anyways, enough of the admin; let's make this a good blog post! I just want this to be a place where I can be totally honest and help you with whatever it is you need me for! So a little about my day-it was so boring! Just generally quite boring! It's one of those days where I've tried to be really healthy, not dieting but being healthy and it hasn't really worked so it has just put a downer on my day:( do any of you have any tips to help me? They'd be much appreciated<3

My top 3 beauty essentials at the moment are:
-Revolution's redemption palette in the shades iconic 2~I love this palette because it is perfect for everything really! It has creams, peaches, black, Browns (which are all matte) and then copper/rose gold, glittery brown etc! It is really wearable and goes with everything! (Plus it's great for smoky eyes)
-the pink baby lips in the colour/fragrance pink punch! I love this and I know that it is pretty old now as they came out last year I think?! It is really nice because it is subtle and delicate in pink! Basically my dad doesn't notice when I m wearing it so he doesn't think I'm wearing makeup;) but seriously it is like a god send because it is so moisturing and the texture is very smooth and is easily applicable! Also, I don't know whether anyone else gets this or not but I like the packaging to look nice and although you'd think ew, pink and yellow it is actually really nice and I just love it!
-no7 mascara~ now this mascara I find is the best one to use, ever! It provides really good coverage and doesn't leave you with little black bits all round your eyes! It stays on really well-sometimes too well! It dries quickly as well so you don't get smudges when you blink and it is really long lasting! It is quite small but lasts for ages so it is perfect for your bag!

My top 3 beauty tips:
-I say defy the packaging of a makeup brush! I never use makeup brushes for what they're actually meant for, e.g. I use a blush brush as a bronzer brush! Sometimes using a different brush will affect how your makeup looks and its overall feel! 
- putting a little eye shadow, usually just the residue off your brush, onto your waterline can really bring out the colour in your eyes! I love doing this with my revolution redemption eye shadow(i mentioned it earlier) and I love it! Copper is my favourite colour to do it with!
- using a light concealer than your skin tone can actually act as a highlighter for your face!! I haven't actually tried this myself but I have seen it on other people and it works wonders! So if you bought the wrong shade of concealer, it may be worth keeping because you never know, it could come in handy!

Thank you for being patient as I ramble on about makeup in this blog! Be sure to check out my pages as they get updated and comment below if you liked this!
