Where I have been?

 Hello everyone! I have a lot of explaining to do, I have been gone a couple of months now, and I guess you guys deserve a reason. The main reason is that the laptop I usually blog on, some of the keys broke and wouldn't work. So whenever i went to go blog, i would get so frustrated because everything would go wrong. I am currently using a computer at a friends house to write this. So since this happening, I haven't had any effort to write because I know it would take me hours to actually write it. It would come to a point when I had loads of things to blog about, but I knew my laptop was broken so I would get annoyed. I really wanted to do a back to school series as I had lots of great ideas for it. But recently my parents have decided to invest in a new laptop. We will be buying it in the next week or so, so I can promise you now that I will be back to blogging very soon. I am glad I am starting to blog again now as its very soonly approaching Autumn/Winter so basically HALLOWEEN AND CHRISTMAS! My favourite times of year! So basically I just wanted to catch you up on a few things..

So the first thing, if you read my anxiety story post you wouldn't  know that I haven't been in school for about 1 year. But i am gladly announcing that with a lot of support I am now back in school full time. I had my first day yesterday and I was extremely anxious but I did the whole day with no problems. 

The next thing is is that, even though its not that important, my makeup collection has grown. It makes me very happy! So you will be seeing a lot of all new makeup in tutorials, maybe a makeup collection.

I know I have been away for a while, and I don't exactly know how many readers I have but I will be blogging again very soon. 

Taking A Break!

I will be taking a break for blogging for a bit. I have been quite busy recently, as I don't have a lot of time any more like I used too. Ive got a busy week next week with school, but I am going to be writing a lot of posts in the next week so that I can post more. I will only be having 2 weeks off, so I can catch up with some work, and blog posts!

May Favourites!

Hello everyone, today I have for you my May Favourites! I have been loving a lot of things in May, and I always enjoy trying new things. I have been very busy so I have been behind in writing posts, so if I don't have a post up, don't worry I will have one up. Let's get started!

BEAUTY

The first beauty product I have been loving is the L'oreal True Match Powder. This powder is amazing, it's sets my base makeup, it doesn't make me look cakey. I prefer to have a matte finish, instead of a dewy finish, and this does it. This is only £7.99.

The next beauty product is another L'oreal product and its the L'oreal Brow Artist Plumper. I have been using this in the mornings, as filling in my brows can take up a lot of time, so this has so much pigmentation, and it looks like I've filled them in. This is such an easy way to fill in your brows, and it doesn't take up any time. This product is only £5.49.

The next beauty product I have been loving is the No7 High Shine Lipgloss, in the shade Coral Kiss. This lipgloss is so glossy but not sticky. It's applies easily, and it's so velvety and soft. It's such a pretty colour and it's really pretty ontop of coral based lipsticks. This is only £7.00 and I will definitely be buying more of the high shine lipgloss collection.

SKINCARE

The first skincare product is the Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Moisturiser. This is such an amazing moisturiser and it has lasted me amazing. This moisturiser has lasted me about 10 months and you don't need to apply to much of it to your face. This helps me keep my skin hydrated, especially through this month, as it has been getting warmer. This is only £3.00.

The next skincare product I have been loving is the Benefit It's Potent Eye Cream. The full size of this is very expensive, so I got a mini set of some of the Benefit Skincare Products. This came in it, and I love it so much. It's got rid of my under eye circles, and it doesn't crease my concealer anymore. The packaging is gorgeous as well, and I love this so much! 

The last skincare product is the Garbier Micellar Water. This is about my 10th bottle of this, and I would never change makeup removers. It dissolves my makeup at the end of the day, and I love it so much. Some of the makeup removers I have used can hurt my eyes, but this one doesn't, so I was happy with that. This is usually £3.99 but the place I get it from sells its for £2.99.

FRAGRANCE

The first fragrance is the Victoria Secret spray and it's called Such A Flirt. This is my favourite body spray at the moment, it's quite a fresh fruity smell, it's not a really girly smell, but it's quite fruity. I have been wearing this every day. 

The next fragrance, is a candle. It's the Yankee Candle in the scent Beach Flowers. This is my 4th jar of this scent, and I love the smell of this so much. It's a pretty floral summer smell, and i am obsessed with it!

CLOTHES

I have been wearing the same type of clothing items most days. They are flannel tshirts. They are so comfy to wear on top of everything, and they go well with jeans, tucked into shorts. All my flannels are from New Look. They are really comfortable! 

YOUTUBERS

The first youtuber I have been non-stop watching is Hannah Renee. Her videos are amazing quality and she is so pretty! Her videos are so addicting to watch so I would definitely recommend her channel!

The next youtuber I have been obssessed over is Just Jodes. I have heard of her before but I have only just started watching her videos! Her tutorials are amazing, and she has such a nice smile!

That is the end of my May Favourites! Hope you enjoyed it!

Whats in My Makeup Bag?

Hello everyone, so I just wanted to apologise for not posting recently, as it has been half term, I have been out with my friends and family doing stuff, and I have also been redecorating my bedroom, which I now regret uploading a room tour couple of weeks ago. Anyway, today I will be showing you what's inside my makeup bag! I have had to do my makeup whilst 'on the move' recently, and I'll be showing you all the things I have bringing. I didn't include brushes because when I was taking photos for this post, they were currently being dried after I cleaned them. Enjoy!

The first thing I keep in my makeup bag is a foundation, and it is the L'oreal Infallible 24 hour matte foundation in the shade 10(porcelain). This is such an amazing foundation, and even though it's a matte finish, it doesn't make my face dry. It's a perfect colour and it's in a tube so it can't smash or anything. This is £7.99!

The next thing I keep is my Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, in the shade 01 fair. This is my holy grail concealer, and there is nothing wrong with the product, it brightens my under eye really well! The only thing that annoys me is that the writing on the bottle comes off. This concealer is £4.19, so pretty reasonable.

For powder, I keep the Rimmel Clear Complexion Powder, and this is my all time favourite powder. It's a translucent powder, and it doesn't make me look cakey at all. This was only £3.99!

The next thing in my makeup bag is the MUA Blusher in Cupcake. This blusher is so pigmented and it's a gorgeous sexy pink colour, and it just gives my cheeks a nice colour. It's a good size and it's so cheap, at only £1.

I keep my Seventeen Liquid Highlighter in my makeup bag, this is an amazing drugstore dupe for the Nars Copacabana Liquid Highlighter. It gives my cheeks a gorgeous glow. It was only £2.99. It has a pump which I think is great!

Moving on to eyes, I keep one palette in here, and it's a reasonable size and it's the Technic Mega Nudes Eyeshadow Palette. It has 12 shades, and they are all warm neutral colours. This was only £2.48 on EBay, and the colours are so pigmented and I am in love with this palette! 

I keep two mascaras in my makeup bag, for the top lashes I use the Max Factor Masterpiece Glamour Extensions Mascara, and for the bottom lashes I use the Maybelline the falsies mascara. These two mascaras are my favourites at the moment so they may be featured in my May Favourites. They both really lengthen my lashes. I don't actually know how much these are, as they were brought for me.

For brow products I use the Natural Collection eye shadow pot in Charcoal Brown. I would easily buy a brow kit but these eye shadows pot are so reasonable and come with a lot of product. I just use an angled brush and apply to the sparse areas on my brows.

These are only £1.99.

The next brow product I have in my makeup bag is the Natural Collection invisible mascara to set my brows. I don't really want to spend a lot of money for a product like this so I thought it was pretty reasonable. It was only £1.99.

The last 2 things I keep in my makeup bag are lip products and it's the Mac lipstick in Creme Cup, and this No7 Lipgloss in Coral Kiss. These 2 products are now my favourite lip combo, it gives me a gorgeous corally pink shiny look which I love for the spring. My nan bought my the lipgloss and my mum bought me the lipstick, the lip stick was £15.50, and the lipgloss was £7

That is the end of my what's in my makeup bag, I hope you enjoyed it! Leave me a comment letting me know what you want me to do next? 

Bye!

Everyday Makeup Routine 2015!

Hello everyone, so I did an Everyday Makeup Routine as one of my first ever posts, and that was just under a year ago, which is crazy! My makeup routine has definitely changed since my last one, and that is because I have more makeup since my last everyday makeup routine. Let's just get started!

I firstly moisturise and I use the Simple Kind To Skin Hydrating Moisturiser. This is my all time favourite moisturiser and it does the job well. This is only £3.00.

To prime my face I use the Benefit Porefessional, and this is my all time favourite primer. I have about 3 mini bottles of this, and it applies really nicely and makes my makeup last all day. 

For foundation, I use the L'oreal Infallible 24 hour matte foundation in the shade 10 porcelain. This is the perfect shade for my skin, and it doesn't make me look orange at all, which most of my foundation and BB creams can do. This is £7.99.

For concealer, I use the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in the shade Fair 01 I think, and this is my holy grail concealer. Its really brightens my under eye area, I have to say this concealer isn't amazing for spots, but amazing for dark circles.

To powder my face, I use the L'oreal True Match Powder. This is such a good powder, and it comes with a mirror as well. This was £7.99.

To add some colour to my cheeks, I use the MUA Blush in Cupcake. I have never used blush before but since buying my L'oreal 24 hour matte foundation, I notice it can make me look a bit pale. This a gorgeous pinky peach colour. These blushes are only £1.

To highlight my cheek bones, I use the Seventeen 3 way liquid highlighter, and this is an amazing dupe for the Nars Copacabana Liquid Highlighter. This cost me only £2.99, and I am so obsessed with it!

For my eyes, I use the Run Boy Run Makeup Revolution Palette. I am obsessed with this palette, it was only £6, and it has 18 shades. It has 12 shimmery shades, and 6 matte colours. Makeup revolution is so affordable and I will definitely be purchasing more things from the brand. I won't say every single colour I used but if you would like an eye tutorial using this palette going into more detail then let me know!

For mascara, I used two, and I use the Benefit Roller Lash for my top lashes, and the Elizabeth Arden High Volume Mascara. The benefit roller lash is my favourite mascara at the minute and it lengthens and volumises my lashes. The Elizabeth Arden High Volume Mascara is amazing for my bottom lashes.

Next is my eyebrows, and I only use one product. I use the L'oreal Brow Artist Plumper in Dark Brown. This fills in my eyebrows so well, that I don't have to actually use anything else to fill them in. That brow product was £5.49.

Finally, for my lips, I use this Mac Lipstick called Shy Girl. This is a peachy nude, and it's a creemsheen finish. 

That is the end of my Everyday Makeup Routine! Hope you enjoyed it!

April Favourites!

Hello everyone, today I have for you my April Favourites! As my birthday was in April, I have been trying a lot of new things that I have bought and received. There aren't a lot of things I have been loving but there is some things. Lets get into it!

BEAUTY

The first beauty product I have been loving is the Collection No Clumps Mascara. This is only £2.99 and its amazing! It makes my lashes so voluminous, and separates my lashes really well. I think this is better than the Collection Voluminous Mascara, which is quite bad if you think about it. I will definitely be repurchasing this, and its a bargain!

The next beauty product I have been loving is the Technic Mega Nudes Palette. I wanted to buy an eyeshadow palette, and I found this one on ebay for £3. I love this so much, its so pigmented which I was shocked about. The colours are really neutral, an some are matte, and some have some shimmery undertones. My favourite colour is the fourth shade, which is a really good colour to highlight your brow bone, and its amazing!

The next beauty product I have been loving is the Mac Lipstick in Creme Cup. This is one of the most popular mac lipsticks, and this is a perfect school lip colour. Its not really pink, but it gives your lips a really nice baby pinky colour. Its really easy to apply, and very moisturising. These are usually £15.50.

The last beauty product is and has become my favourite foundation. This is the L'oreal Infallible 24 Hour Matte Foundation. This foundation is my perfect match to my skin, and its the lightest shade they do. Its applies to my skin really well, its not drying on my skin, considering its matte. It was only £7.99, and I was going to buy the matching primer, but I didn't have enough left on my voucher. This was only £7.99.

SKINCARE

The first skincare product I have been loving is the Garnier Moisture Nourish Daily Moisturiser. I bought this for my mum, but she didn't like it because it was thick. I love it so much, this is amazing if you have really dry skin. I use this most nights, so it will work through the night. This has improved my skin a lot, and my skin is never dry anymore. This was £4.99.

The last skincare product I have been loving is also from the Garnier brand, and its the Garnier Softening Toner. I use this every single morning, and its so refreshing and wakes me up in the morning. I love this so much, it makes my skin feel really awake and fresh. I got this for £2.99.

FRAGRANCE

I have 2 fragrances and my first fragrance, I guess you could count as a fragrance, and its a candle. Its a candle that I got in Clintons, and it isn't a brand, but it was half price on all candles, and this scent is now my new favourite candle scent. The fragrance is Pomegranate and Pineapple. Its a fresh fruity smell, and these are my favourite scents. This was £6 reduced to £3.

The next and last fragrance I have been loving is the Soap&Glory Mist You Body Spray. I have 3 mini bottles and one big bottle of this, so yes I am obsessed with this. This is a girly 

scent, and it smells amazing! 

TV/MUSIC

Okay,I have now officially finished all 5 seasons of Pretty Little Liars. I can't believe the ending, and I don't actually remember if I have spoken about Pretty Little Liars on my blog, but I love it. When I first started watching it, I didn't think I would like it, but I am counting down the days until Season 6. 28 DAYS BTW. My favourite character I think, is either Spencer, because shes so unique, and smart, and hard working, or Emily, because shes gorgeous!

The song I have been listening to non-stop is Worth It by Fifth Harmony. You don't even realise how many home alone dance parties I have been having to this song. Its such an upbeat song, and makes you move and shake your ass a lot, hahah. Definitely go listen to it!

My last favourite is my bed. I got a new duvet for my birthday and its just plain white which I wanted, and its so soft. I sleep so much better now, and my sleeping pattern has improved!

That is the end of my April Favourites! Hope you enjoyed it!

Bye!x

Feeling Motivated:Being Fit!

Hello everyone, so I have never done a post like this, and to be perfectly honest never actually thought I would. I am not the skinniest person ever, but I am not really happy with my weight at the minute. I haven't actually been at school, I attended a school for kids with anxiety, and after 18 months, I am finally back at school. I am going full days, and I have actually never felt happier. So since this has been happening, I have more energy, so lately I have becoming more motivated to lose weight. I think it would be really good for me to do it. This post will just give you a recipe, some food alternatives, easy ways you can exercise, and just doing things to make you feel happier and more motivated. 

EXERCISE

So when it comes to exercise, I get out of breath quite quickly, but I can do it. I will just give you some ways to exercise and it won't take time at all but it will still lose the wait. 

EXERCISE DVD's

I can't actually do exercise dvd's, I can't do the full time, so I wanted to find one that is a short amount of time, and won't get me out of breath. You may be fitter than me, so you can pick any exercise DVD you want, but if you can't do a long amount of exercise then the Charlotte Crosby 3 minute belly blitz. When this came out, I knew instantly I wanted to buy it. I did this today, as I am writing this, and I am actually a bit sore. It does a variety of different things, core muscle, cardio, and lots more. They are 3 minute workouts, and there are 12 rounds plus a warm up. Today I managed to do 6 rounds including warm up, so I was chuffed with myself. When doing this, I always have a bottle of water with me, so I can keep hydrated. That's really important to do that!This is £13.

WALKS

This is probably the easiest way to exercise, you can walk anywhere. Luckily there is a cycle path oposite my house, that goes on for miles, so I usually go for walks Tuesday and Wednesday, and we usually go for about an hour and a half. If you plug in some music, and just walk, you don't actually realise how far you walk.

GYM

If you have a gym near you then that would be really good, if you have money to spend then get a personal trainer. They are apparently really good, but I would never get one. Fortunately, my mum goes to her friends gym every Friday with another friend, so i tag along, and do the treadmill, and other gym 'machines'.

FOOD ALTERNATIVES/RECIPE

I have been looking for food alternatives to replace the food I eat, healthier food. So here are some healthy food and drink alternatives.

WHITE BREAD- WHOLEMEAL/BROWN BREAD

CHEESE(IN SANDWICHES)- SLICED CHICKEN OR HAM (good source of protein)

FIZZY DRINKS- WATER (washes out your immune system and clears your skin)

CRISPS- BREADSTICKS, LOW CALORIE CRISPS

CAKE BARS/BISCUITS- GRANOLA BARS/CEREAL BARS/FRUIT&NUT BARS

SWEETS- ORANGES/BANANAS

RICE-QUINOA

I was scrolling through instagram, not long before writing this, and I found this picture by a girl and her instagram name is @perksofbeingami. I spoke to her and I asked her for the recipe, its so easy to make, and looks delicious. I asked her permission to use the photo and she said its fine.

What you will need:

Vegetables of your choice: in this photo there is carrots, peas and broccoli.

Any meat of your choice: She used chicken. That's what I will be using!

I will use ready cooked chicken, but I am going to cook it a little bit.

This is just a really healthy lunch choice! I assume its super tasty as well!

I would like to thanks ami for letting me use this photo, and she actually has a blog so go check it out! Here is her link --- www.perksofbeingami.co.uk

MOTIVATION

I don't really know what made me so motivated to do this, but I think I may have an idea. I think it may be the fact my room is different, I had a lot of fun moving it around, and changing things. I now have a white duvet, and it just makes my room a whole lot brighter. I bought 2 pops of colour pillows as I call them. I am also feeling motivated as I am progressing in more ways that one, and it makes me feel much more confident. There are just little things that make me feel so much happier with myself,  and you should find that little thing. It doesn't take much at all.

That is the end of this post, if you like me doing these posts then let me know in the comments below! Hope your having a nice day, and stay motivated!!
