What's in my hand luggage?

Hello girlies,

As I told you guys in my last post that I  would be going to Majorca for a week and I didn’t have time to make a post before I went but I thought even though summer is practically over I would show you what I took with me.

So first thing I went shopping on the day before and got myself some new clothes (which I will show you on my next haul post), some beauty supplies and also a gym bag which I used as my hang luggage.

So I basically separated some socks and the amount of underwear I was going to need, five tops and bottoms, a dress, a playsuit, three bikinis, a flip-flop, a flat sandal and a black pump. This is what I packed as for cloth wise as I only stayed there for a week. To be totally honest I used most of the clothe I packed so I think this is the right amount of clothes to take for a week vacation/holiday.

 

On my makeup bag I obviously put my makeup, makeup wipes, deodorant, sun cream, tooth paste, allergy tablets and my toothbrush.

On my little pencil case from my home town I put all my cables and adaptors that I would need during my stay over there.

On the bigger makeup bag I put my digital camera and charger and my underwater camera.

I obviously took a hang bag so in that hand bag I carried the big makeup bag with the cameras in it, the pencil case, my wallet, passport, tickets, oyster card, my iPad, my iPod and my iPhone.

This is basically all I packed for in Majorca. Did any of you guys go anywhere this summer?

If so where and how was it? A nd even if you didnt comment down below what you did this summer.

Much love,

Three posts in one!!

Hello lovelies,

So as you can tell by the title this post will be very long and mixed with three different subjects. this first term back after christmas was the shortest and most stressful term ever! starting course works, deadlines for course works and guess what more work during this half term (e.g. filming the media course work.. doing my 1st film of photographs for my photography exam preparation) ufff ca it just be summer already?!

Anyways first of all i promised you guys over on twitter that i was going to post my valentines look but i didn't get to post it before valentines as i moved houses on the saturday before Vdays and i only managed to get full access to internet on valentines day and after that I have been busy filming and taking pics for my course works.

So here is the final look and the products i've used!

Products used: MUA Pro-Base Primer, MUA  Blusher on the shade Lolly, Rimmel London Stay Matte powder on the shade 001 transparent, MUA Poptastic pallet in which i used the two shades on pink and the purple shade on top of the light pink. Rimmel London Exaggerate Waterproof eye definer on the shade 26 Noir, collection 2000 extreme 24 hour felt tip liner on the shade black, Maybelline  fit me concealer on the shade 15, Rimmel London scandal eyes show off mascara Collection 2000 Naturally Matt foundation on the shade 3 Beige, Maybelline Baby lips Hydrate, Natura Faces on the shade Coral Doce.

Tools used: For the blush i used my new Elf Bronzing Brush, for the powder i always use the models own Powder brush, eyelash curler from Eleganttouch and for the shadows i used the body shop eye brushes i used the shading brush and the big one to blend in the colours.

And that was my Valentines make up look for the hair i just took it out of my ponytail and brushed out the nots (pretty much my just woke up kinda hair xD)

Moving on to the second par of this post… i managed to ordered some things from elf before i moved and i received last Thursday and i decided to share it with you guys what I got which according to my dad the postman left it under the front door carpet xD

So yeah i got those goodies and till now i've only tried the bronzing brush and i love it!!

And the third and last part of this post is to tell you guys that i created a Instagram just for blog related things which you can go follow it and i'll certainly follow back.

So this is pretty much it, on staturday i'll be back to a better quality post, so sorry about this one but yeah. 

Any post requests? leave them down in the comments.

Monthly Favourites -January 2014-

Hello lovelies,
As most of you would agree that January is the month where we normally don't have that many favourites but I've managed to gather five beauty products and a couple of snacks that I've enjoyed the most through out this first month of the year.

The first product is the MUA Pro-Base Primer which if you follow me on twitter you would know that I've had this for about three months, now trying it out and it seems to be the best drugstore primer I've tried. 
The second product is the Clean & Clear Morning Energy Shine Control Daily Facial Wash which i got it last week and use it every morning before i go to college which works very well together with the Clean & Clear morning every shine control daily facial scrub which i use it when i take shower and both of this products does exactly what it says on the bottle it leaves my skin oil free all day.
The next product is the Naturally Matt Foundation by Collection on the shade Beige 3 which has becomes my new day-to-day foundation this winter as it leaves my skin flawless for about 6 hours (which is normally as long as i allow my face to stay with make up on) it doesn't have the best coverage but if you have been with me long enough you'd know that i like my make up as natural as possible so the only thing i expect the foundation to do is to cover a little bit of the red blemishes other than that the concealer should do the job.
The last beauty product that I've loved this month is the Exaggerate Water Proof Eye Definer by Rimmel London on the shade 26| Noir which it's been my waterline eye liner for as long as i can remember.

Moving on from Beauty products. So my snake recently have contained just the Cadbury Bournville Classic Dark Chocolate and started my addiction again to the Lipton Ice Tea Peach flavour. 

Well this is pretty much it, sorry for the bad quality photos it's because I'm moving houses next week and most of my things including my camera are already packed and ready to move so yeah. When I'm settled in the new house I'll do a room tour video/ post and might even start doing youtube videos.. hopefully everything works out with this idea, because i tried before and i've never gone through with posting it because i always felt self conscious about how i looked in it but I'll give it a try once again. 

Also leave it down in the comments what products you've been enjoying this past month and what kind of posts would you like to see it next on the blog.. I've been struggling with new ideas.. it would be awesome if you guys helped me out.

Much Love,

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick -Review-

Hello  Lovelies,
So I got this  Moisture Renew Lipstick from Rimmel for a long time now and never maniged to show it to you guys what I bought that day but oh wells lets get to the review.

I don't know if i ever mentioned to you guys that I'm not a big fan of lipsticks, I'm more of a lip balm kind of girl but this one has turned into one of my favourites lip product for this past few weeks because it's so moist and doesn't dry your lips after you had it on for an hour or so, it's very pigmented swell but i don't like bright colours on my lips that much so i only put one coat of it and get a tissue to take out the excess to get the right amount of redness i want.
Loved this product, I'm already planning to buy the nude and the Oxford Street Fushia or the Coral Britannia shade of this collection.
Overall this lipstick is the amazing and has definitely got me into wearing lipstick more often.

How about you, have you tried any of the shades from this collection? 

and also what is your favourite shade of lipstick you like to wear the most?

Leave it down in the comments.

Photo Diary - Week 1 -

Hey Lovelies,

I've dicided to start a new series on this blog, I want to stop letting you guys down because I always promise to you guys that I'd have at least two posts per week but I always end up never delivering what I've promised. So what I want to applish with this series  is that I will make a post about whatever else I want (make up, fashion, school, etc) and will also post  pictures of things I got up to on that week that went by or that happened and wanted to share with you guys.

So lets get to it.. 
(21-27 of october 2013)
On monday was the day I had to present my first final piece for Unit 1 in photography.. which was a bit nerve racking as the boy I kinda got a crush on, is in that class, he made me feel so awkward because he kept his eyes locked on mine until I finishes presenting and what I find it weird is that he didnt pay attention like he did while i was presenting when the other people in the class was! obviously I'm not getting my hopes up because he doesnt even talk to me properly so yeah xD

& whent I got home.. I went to light up my candle and for the first time ever I've finished a candle like all the day.. I was so happy but at the same time sad because my room wasnt going to smell like cherry jelly beans haha 

On tuesday and wednesday I didnt do much just school and homework tbh.

Now on thursday and friday I ended up not going to college as I couldn't even walk properly due to back pains (which I'm still complaining about as I can't bend down to get things on the floor and stuff). All I did was watch series, read my book and tried to get all the information from my friends (like class work and homework that tthe tearches gave those days so I can do all of it during half term). On friday I went to the doctors to see what is actually up with my bacL, because its not really normal for a sixteen years old to have back pains.. all they did was check if it wasnt muscle pains and they said it's  all because of the amount of weight I cary to school and my posture when I sit down, so they gave me some pain killers which trigged my asthma (very clever doctor.. you go girl -.-) so I stop using it. I also got the Casio watch which I meantioned on my last post from The Watch Hunt in the mail and with that I organised the outfit for the post. AND OF COURSE ATE LOADS OF ICE CREAM!!! :D

So what did you get up to last week? Anything interesting?

Let me know in the comments below.

Much Love,

Very early Christmas Wish List!

Hey guys,
I know is a bit early to be posting a 'Christmas Wish List' but yeah.
I know the things in my list seems a little bit greedy but thats what I've been wanting for a long time now and I know im not going to get everything I want but I always stick to this this list until I get everything doesnt matter if I spend years waiting for it. I notmally ask for one thing for christmas and then one thing for my birthday and normally those things are what I really really want/need.

1. Macbook Pro 15inch. This is something I've wanting for a long time, my current computer is very very old and its supper slow. Nearly every month I have to restore it so it wont frezze consgtantly or what not, even though my parents dont want to get me a laptop (they want to get me a newer version of my current computer which is a macmini) but I just think it would be more pratical to have a laptop as I'm in college and in a few years will be going to university it would be easier to already have a laptop which I could take anywhere and do my assiments and other things.

2. Dr Martens Pascal Boot Black. AHHHHHH I just want those boots so much!

3. Aria Clarisonic Blue. Well I really want this as I heard loads of good things about it and how I have really bad skins I would like to give this a try and see if it gets any better. I dont specifivcally want a Aria Clarisonic Blue, I would be happy the cheapest one I can find xD.

4. RealTechnique Powder Brush. I'm just in need of a new and big powder brush as I only use brushes for my powder anyway.

5. Maybelline New York Baby Lips Balm Electro. I JUST WANT IT! I've seen pictures of people wearing them and I just feel in love with the shades.

6. Mac Shy Girl Lipstick. I've wanted a nude lipstick for a few months now and as I've been searching through the web, loads of people seem to use this one and I've seen people using them and its exactly the shade I want.

7. Penny Board. since I was little I used to love to skate and everything and since I moved to london it seems like I have forgoten about every productive thing I used to do. I would love to get a penny board and get on my old habbits of skating around and hurting myself trying to learn new tricks ( not those extream ones but yeah) haha.

What do you want for christmas? or what have you been dying to get?

Let me know in the comments.

Much Love,
