February Favourites!!!

Hello you,
First of all thank you for taking time out of your day to read this, it means a lot! Before you even read ahead I'd like you to comment below on how you are today!
***
So for you today I decided to do a February Favourites blog post because it is already March 2nd and I haven't done one of these before. I decided not to just make it centered around make-up because it is not everybody's cup of tea, and I don't update my make-up bag as often as I probably should. Also, I have some other things that I'd like to share with you.
***
First of all, I bought "The Pointless Book" and "Love, Tanya" with money left over from Christmas. I'm only around half way through Tanya's book and I am enjoying it a lot. However, I have not yet started reading Alfie Deyes' book because I'm too engrossed in Tanya's book at the minute. I love the layout of Tanya's book, and the way that it involves its readers in it-listing top ten ways to do things, top 10 moments etc. I also like how it gives us an insight into Tanya's history, some things we maybe wouldn't know about just from her YouTube videos and vlogs!
***
I also bought the bodycare 96 eyeshadow make-up palette. I use these more as base colours than my main, prominent eyeshadow colour as they are quite "weak" eyeshadows... they aren't as strong as other eyeshadows I have. However, I love these a lot because they are in 96 shades and there are a lot of different gradients of colours.
***
I'd also then just like to add that my friend bought me a notebook for my birthday like 2years ago and I love it so much. It has little monsters on it and I think it is from paperchase. I think I like it so much because the lines are quite big.. I have awkwardly large handwriting:* It just really cute and quirky - <3
***
Next, I have some more base eyeshadows. I'm not gonna go into much detail about these but they were from Primark, I think they were like 2 pounds or something but they are just really cute, portable and nice as base colours or on top of prominent colour to add a little glitter/sparkle.
***
And finally, I realized I hadn't shared with you what mascara products I use. So for a natural day to day look I tend to go for 1 coat of the No7 Intense Volume mascara. I have used this mascara since when I started using mascara (not the same one obviously but yeah) and I love it so much. Just one coat can intensify my lashes and give them a hell of a lot of volume. With having to wear glasses, it brings the worry that my make-up is hidden by the silver and blue frames of my glasses, but with this mascara, I feel as if my troubles have been solved and I'm free to wear mascara. I don't know about you but at school, I tend to keep my face natural, with only concealer on any big outbreaks of skin so I rarely wear it to school but it works so it is always there when I need it.

You'll also notice in the picture there is a smaller white bottle of "LashExtender". This is amazing! I don't use this very often because it can overpower a make-up look but when you need a substantial amount of mascara to make your eyes stand out this is my go to. It thickens mascara and you apply it inbetween coats, alternating between mascara and the product itself. It allows your eyelashes to become thicker and look bolder. It really heightens a smoky eye or a pale colour needing a little attention. I love it so much and really do recommend this to all my viewers and fans as it is just holy grail and a must have in a make-up bag.

Thank you so much for reading,

Lipcare?!

Aloha guys,

As you all know, in England it's pretty cold all the time and so today I decided to do a daily lipcare routine blog in the hope that you'll get rid of chapped, dry and irritable lips! I'm going to provide you with a range of products that are all high street products that you can pick up at your local drugstore!

Firstly, I have two of the most moisturising lip balms ever...well two of the most moisturising lip balms I've ever come across and not have I been looking! Firstly the Carmex little tub is one of my absolute holy grails when it come to winter because it not only locks in moisture and adds moisture, but makes lipstick more easily applicable to your lips! For a natural lip I would use this and then use the so...kiss me? Lip balm...yes it is the same as that amazing perfume! 

I use these two together and I just think they hydrate and mend my lips so well! I'd also like to add that the so...? Kiss me one smells so nice, it's like the body shop strawberry scent, it's just so amazing!

Next up we have baby lips! Now I know that this is quite a cliché product, but it is a really good product and adds effortless moisture to your lips! And as an added bonus with the electro ones-or certainly the one I have- that it acts as a coloured lipstick whilst hydrating and moisturising your lips! 

These 3 are my favourites as they all do unique things and are just so utterly gorgeous! The only flaw I've found is that pink punch (the one stood up on the right) seems to be a bit too soft and often leaves clumps of the balm on my lips! Leave in the comments below if you've had this problem/if there is a solution to this!

My final product is a recent purchase where I was just looking for something a little more colourful for my lips.

 Although it may not feel like spring right now, I want to get in the spirit and start wearing brighter colours! So I looked and I found what if hoped for! This Kelly Brook lipgloss is from New Look! Yes, it is a lipgloss... Technically not lipcare... But it is superhydrating and adds a lovely colour to my lips!

Also can we talk about this amazing packaging, I mean rose gold<3 it's all so right! I think I was drawn in by the packaging and I know I probably shouldn't have been but I was and it is so gorgeous!

I'm going to end this blog here, I hope you guys like it and comment below!xxx

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!
