Day and Night Fall Pictorial Make-up

As I am in my last year of High School, everyone is turning 18 and everyone seems to be throwing some sort of party every weekend. However, because of my work and busy days, this means I do not have much time to get ready and to do a completely new make up look. So, I have created an easy long lasting look which can be warn naturally in the day and very easily transformed into a night time look.

The only products I used for this look - minus base make up such as foundation and concealer. 

- Maybelline 24 hour colour tattoo in the colour 'On and On Bronze'

- Modesty lipstick by Mac (day time look)

- Barry M lipstick in the number 160 (night time look)

- Rimmel Blush - Maderia

- Rimmel Soft Kohl white eye liner

- Collection eyeshadow pencils in Vanilla Sky and Vintage Blush

1. Cover lid in white eyeliner pencil to act as a base

2. Put Maybelline 'On and On Bronze' in the outer V 

3. Blend with blending brush

4. Apply Collection Vintage Blush in the centre of the lid

5. Apply Collection Vanilla Sky in the inner corner of the eye

6. Blend both these colours to make a soft transition from colour to colour

7. Apply white eye liner pencil to water line

8. Apply white pencil to the brow bone to tidy brow and highlight

For that extra essence of Fall, apply a deep plum or brown toned blush to cheeks. I have chosen Rimmel Maderia which has a hint of purple when applied to the cheeks which really well ties in with the dark night lips.

To finish off the looks just add the lip and you are all good to go!

Final looks with lips completed.

Hope you enjoyed this Pictorial/blog tutorial. I really enjoyed making it, so I hope you have fun recreating it! lots of love

Summer

Haven't made a blog post in a while, this is due to the fact that since the 19th of July I've broken up from school for summer! Since then I've been with my dad in the Peak District, tried to stalk Harry styles' family in Holmes chapel and been to work. From the 20th - 27th of July I got to visit my dad, step mum and my brothers whom I never usually see because they live in Saudi Arabia. During this time I stayed in the Peak District and visited my uncle who lives in Cheshire. As a one direction fan I took this opportunity to make my dad take me to Holmes chapel. It's a beautiful little town however we had no luck finding the styles family, don't really mind because then I would have felt like a major stalker. 

 Whilst we were in the Peak District as one of my younger brothers has never seen cows before he was completely obsessed and would wake me up every morning to go and find some "moo's" 

Had a great time with my family and my baby brothers! Cannot wait for the rest of summer to come along!

Sale Haul

I love payday. I love shopping. So when I get paid and the summer sales start I am in heaven! The other day I took a little trip into my local major shopping centre to spend a few pennies. And I thought, that I might as well share my purchases with the Internet so other people can see what is out there and if you dig deep enough you can find a real bargain. 

So this was my first purchase. As it has been really hot in England recently, I've needed to get a new pair of shorts. However, I'm extremely picky with my legs, so when I saw these I fell in love. These shorts aren't to short and aren't too long and I love them so much because they are so comfy and they were a bargain! £10 from river island! Go grab them!

So, on Friday I have a 90's party. I went into Primark and saw this top and instantly thought this was perfect and was only £6 and perfect for summer!

I've also been needing another skirt as I only have one black one at the moment! I saw this and instantly really liked it, I thought it would go with most things and could be dressed up and dressed down easily! Only £8 from Primark!

My friend actually found this top. It's from h&m and was only £5 in the sale! I thought it was just a really good attitude to give off and a perfect t shirt to wear to a party whilst my ex is there!

This one is also similar to the previous in the same aspect to the shape of it. This one and the previous one are both quiet long with long arm holes down each side so I would recommend a boob tube or a Bando with these types of tops! Nevertheless another bargains at only £3 also from H&M

Onto dresses, as it is summer I've been looking for smart/casual dresses that I could get away with at school! I saw a similar one online but only in grey, but I saw this one in newlook and I liked it so much more as it was not just plain and I like the pattern. 

This dress I love! I know I've said I love everything but I like the stripes on it because vertical stripes are meant to be slimming   which is perfect for summer! Also the elastic band round the middle adds a little bit more detail and shape to the dress! The back is also longer than the front so it seems longer so i can get away with it at school! 

I'm sorry if no one likes or read this post! I just thought, why not do a haul in written form instead of on a video! If anyone, anyone anywhere liked this, please like, comment, follow..etc...

British Summer Time

Andy Murray Winning Wimbolden

Today and recently, where i currently live in the South of England, it has been so warm! As miserable brits, we are used to 300 days of rain and constantly wearing our coats! At the moment it is usually about 31 degrees which, for us, is baking hot. In winter, everyone moans about the cold and the countdown for summer begins, but once summer comes around, we moan about the sweaty heat and the countdown for winter begins. A viscous cycle. Through all the moaning and heat, this weekend no true brit would want to be anywhere else as history was made with Andy Murray winning Wimbolden. These past two summers have been extremely patriotic for England as in 2012 everyone came together to host the fantastic Olympics and this year Wimbolden was won by someone from the UK..a first for 77 years.  No matter what anyone says, im proud to be drink tea and eat scones because im proud to be British.
