My makeup must-haves!!

After posting about my obsession with eye shadow I decided to compile all my absolute makeup favourites. So, I am going to split this post into 3 sections, face, eyes and lips. Onto our first section.... Face!!

Face

By 'face' I mean foundation, concealer and all the stuff you put on before applying proper makeup.

I have only ever used one type of foundation and that is because I think it does it's job really well and blends in with almost every skin tone. The foundation is by a company called Clarins and is called Naturel Ultra-Mat. I can't get a picture of it but it comes in a little see through bottle wtih a white lid with a gold frame.

My second favourite face product has to be Maybelline Dream BB Cream because it comes in loads of different colours so there is a cream for every one! Also the little bottles are light so they are easy to take with me when I go out and fit into purses and pockets.

Eyes

As you know my favourite makeup thing in the world is eye shadow. When you put mascara and eye shadow on together they form a makeup dream team! So, my favourite eye makeup thing has to be the Colour Workshop Eye Shadow Pallette that I talked about in my blog all about my crazy obsession with eye shadow.
My second favourite eye makeup thing is my mascara. Now I have a greeny coloured mascara from MUA which is amazing and just a normal black mascara which I got from boots and that is really good too!

Lips

We are now moving on to our final section... lips! When it comes to lip products  I don't use that maany, but I do still have some cool products to tell you about. The first is a a company called Ruby and they sell the best lip gloss ever!! I got a whole set of lip glosses from them for christmas and I was suprised at how many different shades there were!! I 100% recommend them as they are really pretty and come in so many different colours. The second brand I would like to tell you about is MUA. I have mentiioned some of their eye products but they also sell really cute lipsticks. For example they have a really bright pink lipstick that lasts for ever and is really easy to put on and take off.


So those were some of my favourite makeup bits and bobs and I hope you go out and buy some of them because they are all amazing!

See you next time,

Hiya guys!!

So today I just wanted to talk about a couple of random things that have come up these last few weeks. I also need to apoligise for not uploading a post in ages!!! The first topic on my agenda my room. Lately I have been in my bed looking around my room and realised it is soooooo messy! So I decided to go onto YouTube and try and find some DIY jewelerry and makeup organiser things that I could make to try and make my room slightly tidier. i found this really awesome tutorial on how to make this vanity cupcake stand thing to hold your jewellery and stuff by a YouTube user called beautysplurge (be sure to check her out)! I loved it and made my own which was really easy and fun.

The second thing on my agenda is my hair. I had my hair cut into a bob in about september and now it is about down to my shoulders. I have fallen in love with plaiting and doing peoples hair and I started to think of ways to make my hair nicer. I have very straight hair so it tends to look a bit lifeless and dull if I don't wash it every two days. I watched a video by Cute Girls Hairstyles on how to do Bantu Knots on your hair which are a form of no heat curls. I tried it and loads of my friends said I looked nice and so I have kind of been doing that ever since. I want to carry on growing my hair so I can plait and braid it and curl as I wish!

So that was  a little blog on some things that have come up this week and I promise that I will try to keep you more up to date and write mre often!

See you guys!!

Sorry that I haven't done a post in a while, I have been busy getting ready to go back to school (nooooo!!). I haven't done anything really exciting over the couple of days so I thought I would write a post about what I did today.

I go to a drama school called Jackie Palmers and today at 7:30pm they were holding auditions for their new choir. I love to sing so I thought that I would go for it and see whether I would get in. The first issue was choosing a song to sing, and I chose There Are Worse Things I Could Do from Grease. The next issue was what to wear. At that moment I was wearing a tracksuit top with jeans. I thought that they would not take me seriously if I walked in there looking like I have just been lazing around all day so I decided I would change into something that was slightly nicer. In the end I went for a *nicer* pair of jeans, a white vest top and a new blue top I had bought from new look. I then put on just a bit of mascara and natural eye shadow and was ready to go. When I arrived I suddenly noticed that almost everyone was older than me and absolutly amazing singers.
I was terrified!

After a while I found someone from my class at Jackie Palmers and she was as scared about it as I was. Once I had finished singing I was still scared because we had to wait to hear who had got in. Now, because I was auditioning to get in next year, because I am a bit too young, I thought I had an okay chance of getting in. They had called almost everybody's name and finally called me and told me that I had got in and would be able to straight away next year when I would be old enough!

I was so excited and I can't wait to tell everyone at school tomorrow.

Sorry that this post had almost nothing to do with beauty but I thought I would just keep you up to date with what I have been doing.

Write again soon,

Eye Shadow, Eye Shadow... and MORE EYE SHADOW!!

Hi!

Okay, when it comes to make up I am a complete sucker for every single kind and colour of eye shadow out there! I am completly in love with it and as soon as I walk into Boots or Claires Accesories I have to buy some! I guess I could call myself the keeper of the eye shadows!

For Christmas one of my really good friends bought me and eye shadow palatte and of course I fell in love with it immedietly!

I have been using it a lot and I think that my favourite colours to use are either neutral or blues and purples together.
However your eyes can never look complete withot some good old mascara. Mascara and eye shadow together form a sort of A Team and even if that is the only makeup you have put on that day, you can still look great.

My favourite kind of mascara is probably any king by MUA (make up academy) because I have a black coloured mascara from them for years and it still isn't dried out and I continue to use it.

A tip that I picked up from the good friend who gave me this eye shadow (she is also a queen of eye shadow) is that before you put any eye shadow on your eyelids, put on a little bit of concealer. She said that this helped give the eyelids a very well-rounded look without making them look really over the top.

I hope you enjoyed reading this blog and I will write again soon. Remember to follow me and comment on my blogs of your own tips and tricks to getting the perfect eye makeup.

Thanks!
