Photo a day - week 1:)

Hellö,

So yes I know I just posted a mascara review and yes it's twenty past midnight so it's technically not Sunday but my auntie, sister and I are all doing a photo a day for summer and I'd like to share with you mine for the past 7 days:

This is Monday's photo, and no I didn't take it or draw it myself but one of my best friends drew it and I really like it! I think it's super creative and definitely couldn't draw it myself!

Day 2 is when I decided that I'd do a mascara review and so did an awful few shots of my mascara that I'm loving right now!

Wednesday is a picture of some cheats s'mores which me and Hannah made! They were very tasty and I will share with you the recipe and some more photos in a blog post coming very soon!

Day 4 is a picture of how I arranged my jewellery on my set of drawers in my room! I am going to do a jewellery collection so again keep your eyes out for that soon!

Day 5 is a bit of a weird one really but it's of my handwriting when I wrote checklist in my notebook! I just thought it looked really nice! I did actually have a really eventful day on Friday I just didn't take many photos really!

Day 6 is a picture of my hair that I curled, no my head isn't shaped dodgy I was wearing a flower crown and it's made the back of my head look weird! It's blurry because a 4-year old took the shot but I really like it!

And today was a picture (a rather bad one) of Latin vocab checklist number 19! I took this because I was copying up a lot of vocab into a vocab book for next year, and I don't know why I took it because I had the textbook in front of me, random;)

Okay so that was my week of pictures, I've got lots planned for next week so I'll see you then, bye!x

Ps - if you're reading on a pc then please enter your email on my homepage (I think it works*crosses fingers*) and get updated when I post or if you are on mobile scroll to the bottom of the homepage, click view web version (or something like that) and then add your email!

Mascara review:)

Hellö,

So today I thought that I would blog again for the first time in what seems like forever! So my collection lengthening mascara (I may have shown it previously) ran out last week so whilst I was out shopping I came across the pink packaged version and I was like "..hmm okay well this looks interesting" and so I picked up one of each. 

I will always love the lengthening mascara as it makes my lashes super long and full, somehow without any clumps! It is super long lasting and is easily buildable! It is a great mascara for day-night where you can a apply a reasonable amount in the day to wear to school or work or just a general summer look and then when you're at an event, party or an evening event you can apply another coat (or two) to really open up your eyes and make your eyelashes POP! 

I love the wand to this mascara, however I'm a little unsure of how it's meant to be! You see, I always thought it was a straight wand, but mine seems to be curved! In the image above I tried to diminish the fact that it was curved because I'm pretty sure it's meant to be straight! The reason I think it's curved is because I have a real hard time getting the wand back into the tube! The main reason for this is probably because I used my used mascara to photograph and its old and dry! (That's why the photo of it looks incredibly grubby!)

So as I said previously, I also bought the volumising mascara, which claims to give 10x extra volume! I've used this mascara about 5 times now and it is amazing! The wand really grabs every single lash and with just even 1 stroke of the wand you are left with fuller lashes. The mascara doesn't give you length but it certainly gives volume so the two mascaras compatible together give you both long and full lashes! 

And just one thing that I love about both mascaras (and some people may find this weird) but when you open and close them, the slanted lid faces the right way and clicks into place. I don't know about anyone else but it's one of the most irritating things when lids of bottles or tubes or whatever don't lie straight with the product :} it's super annoying!

Anyway, I let you get back to your summer holiday/vacation or work and I'll hopefully blog again very soon!

Goodnight x

New Makeup:)

Heyyya,

Today I've decided to blog about some new makeup that I've been trying out and I'm actually really liking it. Most of these products are from the popular brand MUA (MakeUp Academy) and I am in love with this brand. *I'm sorry that there is a lot of lipsticks but I really like them;)* These (look left) are the products that I've been collecting and using. I've really been loving tinted moisturiser at the minute, I find it really nice on my skin and leaves a glowing, dewy look to my skin which I need as I have eczema and therefore have really dry skin!

 These are the two BB creams / tinted moisturisers that I've been using recently. I think my favourite for everyday wear is the Nivea tinted moisturising day cream. The garnier BB cream is slightly thicker and darker so I use that more at the weekend. The only pitfall of the Nivea moisturising day cream is that it doesn't soak in like you'd expect a moisturiser to and when you apply powder the moisturiser comes off onto your brush which is really annoying. To battle this though I use the TECHniques buffing brush in the Sam's picks collection and I buff it into my skin a lot more than I usually would so that it does soak in. As I said, I love the finish that it leaves after I do this and think that it is a great way to care for my skin whilst covering it in makeup as well. So if you are like me and don't really like wearing foundation everyday I suggest that you invest in a tinted moisturiser for a lighter, healthy "foundation substitute" to a makeup look.

As I previously metioned, I have been loving MUA quite recently and in particular their matte finish lipsticks. I find buying lipsticks a real chore because I get such dry lips that it makes more sense for me to wear a tinted lip balm or a lipgloss. But I feel these lipsticks so moisturising and they have so many beautiful colours. I was really surprised at this, as 1 lipstick cost £1!!!!! From left to right the shades are - Pouty Pink, Peachy Keen, Totally Nude and Scarlet Siren. I love them all a lot but my favourite has to be Peachy Keen, it is a cross between a pink and an orange and is just really beautiful. Totally Nude is a beautiful browny nude shade, my only downfall about it is that it can look really nude so I wear it thinly and may apply my Ted Baker lipgloss to give it a little more life but I love them a lot!

The next two makeup items are again MakeUp Academy products and they are the bubblegum blusher and a bronzer in shade - 2. I've never really been one of those people that contours with a bronzers but actually it is a really nice shade and I just put it beneath where my blusher goes and then with the remaining bronzer on my brusher I bring it up onto my forehead and onto the bridge of my nose. I then blend it in. I don't use a lot because a little goes a long way and I don't like looking orange so I rarely use a substantial amount.
Onto blusher, I really like this one. It is really similar to one called Bon Bon, which is so pretty. It is again an orangy pink tone and so therefore goes really well with Peachy Keen. I love them both so much! Bubblegum is really nice applied on the apples of your cheeks and then blend up towards your forehead;)

Just quickly before my final product, I'd like to give the Ted Baker London mascara a mention. I love the brush that this comes with, it separates my lashes but also gives them a lot of definition for a 'False lash effect'. I love layering up my mascara but with this you don't need to. It give you fuller, bouncier looking lashes and I find that you don't even need to curl them before you apply this as you can just do it with the wand. Really rate it, and I need a new one because I'm running out;)

And last but not least, this No7 eyeshadow palette. My Dad gave me this about 4 years ago when he used to be like an engineering manager for Boots or something like that and I love it. The colours are all slightly shimmery - as you can see - and they look really pretty. I wear glasses and you can see the eyeshadow beneath which makes them look really defined.

Thank you again for reading and I will blog again in the future no doubt <3

Realising I need to eat healthier...

Hellö, - might be my new start ?!?

How is everyone doing? As I haven't been blogging for a while I kinda lost my line of thought with the whole beauty thing and I really didn't want to post about beauty so I decided to share with you my need to exercise at the minute.
One of my really good friends started going to the gym recently and she's inspired me but also, kind of made me realise that I don't do enough exercise. I also don't eat healthy enough which is really bad too and I think it's because of my life away from school. I say away from school, I mean sitting at home and doing homework for hours because I get so bored and I'm so tired that I can't exercise so I've decided to start a plan in my journal/diary 'if you like.' Here is a list of things that I aim to do:
1. A happier mind - okay so a prime example of me not having a positive out look on things is I walk home from school everyday and I used to not like it. I found it a really big chore because it is around a mile or maybe more I don't even know but I realise that it is really good exercise for me and it's a really good way to help me stay healthy.
2. Work on my figure - I don't want to be an 'it' girl with an hour-glass figure and the most toned body ever but I really just want to work out more. Just to make myself feel healthier. I also think doing this will help me have a better mind set^! 
3. Generally eat healthier - I'm not the most healthy person ever because I believe that having a treat every now and again is fair. But, I do eat a lot of fruit and veg I just feel like I could cut down on how much I eat and control the stuff that I do eat.
4. Drink more water - I definitely don't drink enough water although quite recently I have been drinking more but certainly not enough. Drinking water for me helps hydrate my skin and is especially good for eczema so why I don't drink enough of it seems strange even to me. It'll also help to detox and I do like the detox waters that you can make for yourself. *personally I like lemon, grape and orange detox water. I don't drink them a lot but I've had a few and they're really nice*
5. Look at when I eat - I'm not one of those people that doesn't eat after 6pm or something like that because I like having a bowl of cereal or a piece of toast before bed. But I really do think I shouldn't eat as late as I do because when I don't have a snack before bed I wake up in the morning feeling fine and when I do, I don't feel very well. So I'm going to try and stick to no eating after 7pm. 

That's it for today's blog, I'm sorry that there isn't any pictures and it's probably a bit boring but I'm hoping to do a beauty related blog very soon as I have some time off over the half term. I love you guys:)x

Today...

Aloha,

I'm back blogging! I took a little break because I had loads of exams and I just needed a little more time to myself and blogging wasn't what I wanted to do... But HEY I'm back and I'm looking forward to it. Today I decided to do a more down to earth diary type blog. But I can't really write about stuff that I've done today because it would be mega boring:
"Woke up, watched 1 episode of PLL, ate half an Easter egg, went and watch 315mins of PLL, made macaroni cheese, went out with Welly (you know who you are although you don't read my blog I don't think) came in, ate tea, got into pjs, texted people, sat in bed blogging...." Boring huh?...
So I'm just gonna type stuff randomly about what's happened or other stuff and see what you guys think...
           Does anyone else just think, 'ugh, I have homework but then there's YouTube and you're just there like maths<YouTube?' Idk why that is at all relevant but it seemed like it today! I've just had a really rubbish day except for being with Welly (the weirdo) playing catch with a netball, playing truths and a deep game of would you rather. So it hasn't been all that bad I suppose.
           I forgot to mention - HAPPY EASTER GUYS!!! I hope you've all eaten a lot of chocolate (or if you're like me, have strategically eaten smaller amounts everyday so that you have some left for when you actually want chocolate not just eating it because it's there;) If you don't celebrate Easter or didn't get chocolate for whatever reason then ignore this or accept my virtual Easter egg - 0
           I've been trying out quite a lot of new hair care products recently as I've recently returned from a swimming holiday and I don't know whether it's just me but my hair goes a bit straw like and matted because of the chlorine so I've been testing different shampoo's and conditioners and really have found some combos that work well with my hair. I've never really stuck to one brand but Herbal Essences stands out for me at the moment for being one that I'm really loving. I'm really loving their coconut shampoo and their honey shampoo. I find them really nourishing for my hair and love the colours of the shampoo (which is just an added bonus).
           I like finding something new that I love because it just makes me feel distracted from my normal routine and makes me look forward to new things that come up in my life.

Thank you for reading, I'm sorry if it was boring but comment below whether you like this style, as I find these easier to do and could maybe upload one every so often?

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
