Hi guys! Blogging is something I absolutely love doing however, I have been putting off for a long time. I lost my passion for it as my main focus has been creating youtube videos. Blogging and YouTube are huge passions of mine as the both allow me to speak my mind and create amazing content you all seem to enjoy reading/watching. On April the 14th the most amazing thing happened and I feel as though this story is a fantastic way to start my blog off again so, here goes... April 14th 2017 This was the day that had been planned for a fairly long time, Daniel and I (Daniel being my partner if you couldn't tell already) hoped on a plane from Manchester airport to Belfast which if you wasn't sure is in Northern Ireland. Whilst in the airport I felt very guilty as I couldn’t talk to him due to being highly anxious at the fact O had to jump on board a priperllar plane. I thought we would be flying on a normal plane but he ...

Hi guys! Winter is fast approaching and you all know what that means, It's almost christmas!! I am super excited about christmas and winter time. Don't get me wrong Autumn is my favourite month but I absolutely adore winter to. There are many reasons why I love winter but that is for another blog post. Other wise I think it will take you days to read this, anyway. I filmed my winter hair and make-up over on my youtube channel and this was the finished result. Bright bold lips and gold eyes with a smokey crease. I had a huge fail and had to film the beginning of the video this morning as I forgot to film the beginning the other day...oppps. Besides that it all went to plan and I think this is one of the best make-up tutorials I have filmed over on my channel. Products I used: Smash box - Water Primer Stila - One Step Correct Primer Nars - All Day Luminous Foundation in Siberia Collection - Lasting Perfection Concelar in Fair 1 NYX - Contour and Highlight Palette ...

Hi guys! I recently came across this quote online. It says 'Never give up on something you can't go a day without thinking about'. When reading this quote it really spoke to me.  Lately I have been doing a lot of deep thinking. I was sat on the sofa, munching on a toffee apple and contemplating my decisions in life. I was thinking wether I am doing the right thing going to university next year etc. I think about how excited I am about university but then I get incredibly anxious. So when I read this quote it made me think, I can't go a day without think about university so despite my anxious thoughts I won't give up and I will go to university, complete my course and, become the best make-up artist I can be.  I also feel the same way about youtube. I have had people say to me, you only have a few subscribers so why carry on filming videos. Youtube is something I am passionate about. sitting infant of a camera and speaking to you guys about how I am feeling i...

Hi guys!  On the 21st October Tony and I went to the Manchester arena to see the one and only Justin Bieber!  In December last year Tony surprised me with tickets to the concert. Not only did we have tickets but we had front row platinum tickets! I was so overwhelmed when I revived these and felt incredibly lucky. I am thankful to him for the experience he allowed me to have. We arrived at the arena just in time for the door opening at 6:30pm. We didn't see the point in getting their incredibly early due to having set seats. We arrived in town at 5.00pm and spent an hour in Costa coffe. We had time to spare so we took our time. I ordered my favourite Costa drink which is a caramel hot chocolate (you need to try it). We also order to cakes, Tony ordered a lemon tart and I a gingerbread cupcake. Which I thought was incredibly cute.  When arriving at the arena we firstly went up to the merchandise stall and picked up a long sleeved t-shirt. W...

Hi guys! Today I didn't want to upload a beauty blog. I want to talk to you about how I've been feeling for a long time. From being young I have had anxiety. Anxiety isn't a nice thing to have as it can stop you doing a lot of things. People who don't have anxiety can often assume that you are making it up or are just being awkward. That isn't the case. It's an illness which can get a hold of you. Just because it isn't physical doesn't mean you don't have it. I first remember getting anxious when I was very young. I would look out of my parents window and see my friends playing together in the street. I would then get upset because they hadn't asked me to go out with them. My mum would tell me to go out and join in with them but, because I was anxious I couldn't. I would get very upset and worked up. At the time I just thought I was being stupid but it's only know when I think back, I realise that I had anxiety. My anxiety hits me ...

Hi guys Today I thought I would write a blog post about how I deep clean my makeup brushes. Seen as our make-up brushes work very hard, I thought it would be a good idea to thouroughly clean them. Cleaning them is important as our face harbours bacteria so when we applying foundation that bacteria is going onto the brush which we are then rubbing on our face!! Sounds pretty horrible saying it like that! So anyway, I like to clean my brushes at least once a week. It's one of those tasks I dread doing. I find it so boring and monotonous but, I know it has to be done.  I occasionally go longer without cleaning them but then it feels disgusting rubbing a dirty brush all over my face and I also  feel as though you don't get the application you desire. Well so I think. I clean my brushes by using one of two products (sometimes I use both). The first product I use is Johnson's Baby Shampoo and the other is the Real Techniques Brushing Cleansing Gel. ...

Hi guys!  Today I was playing around with my make-up as I like to come up with new looks and generally just mess around. Today I decided to use a gel eyeliner which I haven't used in a really long time!  It was hard as I've not used it in a while so I had to use sticky tape to get a sharp line. I always make sure that the tape isn't super sticky as you don't want to be pulling the skin around your eye.  Products used: Chichi naturals palette RedEarth eye shadow in Aurora Maybeline gel eyeliner in black Nars all day illuminious foundation in Sibera Collection lasting perfection concealer in fair 01 MAC studio fix Powder in nw15  Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette in Light Rimmel London blusher in Live Pink 50 Fraulein eyebrow palette Rimmel London brow this way eyebrow gel in Blonde Too faced liquid lipstick in Fig Make-up Revolution awesome metals in Platinum  Todays blog is only short however, I hope you enjoyed it!...

Hi guys! Yesterday we visted a lovely cafe called the Liberty Cake Company. It was located in bury which isn't to far from Manchester.  So last sunday was fathers day and because I was working at a convention I was unable to spend the day with my dad.  I've known for a long time, that he has always wanted to try an afternoon/high tea. Knowing this I decided to book a table and take him to this very quaint cafe. I came across this cafe when searching on Google and I am glad I chose this out of all of them!  The whole family went came and also Tony as he is know classed as extended family, seen as I have been with him for so long. So anyway when we got to the cafe we were greeted by a very friendly waitress and taken to our table. There were very cute roses on the table. We firstly ordered drinks. Dad had a classic tea seen as we came for a afternoon tea. Tom and Mum had white hot chocolate, Tony an appletiser and I had a warm vi...

Hi guys!! This weekend has been insanely busy for me. I worked at a comic convention in Rochdale known as Dale-Con. My job was to do face painting on children (and some adults). I wouldn't of thought that face painting could be so knackering  We had to be at the convention for 6am. This was to help everybody set up and get my stall prepared. We didn't end up leaving until around 6pm however, it was worth it. Throughout the weekend I painted so many faces. The down side to doing it is that you end up with a super sore back and neck from all the bending down. Most people who attended the event were very nice but, some people were extremely awkward. I had a book of face painting designs ready so that the children could chose which ever they liked. Most children and parent had no problem with this however, their was one parent who demanded her child be painted as a tiger. She wouldn't take no for an answe...

Hi guys!! If any of you have been reading my blogs for a while you will know that I am a huge fan of Lush products. In Manchester a new Lush store opened. So on Saturday before Tony and I went put on our date day, we decided to visit the new store.  I love it! It is so much bigger than the old store. When you walk in you no longer get the overwhelming smell, this is due to it being much larger and also air conditioned.  The main feature of the new store is that it contains a green house! It's apparently the first store in the UK to have a green house. The purpose of it is to show that the plants they grow in the green house actually get used in their products. I don't think people believe they use natural ingredients in their products. My Nanna very kindly surprised me with a few products about two weeks ago. The Lava Lamp Bath Bomb: This one i think is out for father day. It is bright orange with three purple polka dots on it. From the feel of the po...

Hi guys! During the weekends me and Tony like to have a little us time. So that means either getting a dominos and watching movies/Netflix. We are currently watching Luther which we love and whilst on the Netflix subject, Orange is the new black season 4 this week! So excited.  Anyway.....we both also enjoy to go out on a date day/night.  When going out, we tend to stick with what we know but this time, w e decided to go to a restraunt we had never been to before. It  was called the Albert Square Chop Shop and was located in Manchester city centre not far from the Manchester town hall.  It was such a lovely place. The waiters were very nice and welcoming. The food came quickly and the atmosphere was plesant. The food w as a bit on the pricey side however, worth every penny.  I enjoyed a Shepards pie which came very well presented and Tony had steak with chips. That was one of the main reasons we went. He loves steak! I didn't have time to take photos of the chip...

Hi guys!! It's Wednesday so that means it's blog day. I know i have been slacking these past few weeks with blogs as i am coming towards the end of my college diploma so, i am working my butt off to gain distinctions. I only have two finals left now YAY.   Early on today I was playing around with my make-up so decided to film a chit chat get ready with me. As i haven't filmed one of these in a while. I aimed to go for a natural look and a winged eye. I really like how the look turned out but, you can't see the colour pay off really. I used mainly drug store make-up however i used high end for contouring and highlighting. I still need to get my hands on the NYX contour palette, It looks so good.  What i used and where you can get them from: Smash box Photo Finish Primer Water L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Primer Sellotape. This can be purchased from any supermarket or corner shop. Chichi cosmetics Naturals Eyeshadow Palette Rimmel Glam Eyes Liquid E...

        Hi guys! This week has been a super busy week but instead of not writing a blog at all, I have put together this beauty of a dinner date at Gormet Burger Kitchen. Also known as the best restaurant (in my opinion). I ordered my usual which is a cheese burger with lettuce however this time I went wild and had an onion ring on my burger! Crazy I know. I also ordered skinny fries which basically look like noodles but, they are super tasty. I could eat buckets of them.  Tony ordered his usual which was a plain buffalo burger, he also had an onion ring on his to. He went for the healthier option of sweet potato fries. Recently I haven't been a fan of fizzy drinks. I much prefer to have a drink of orange or apple juice with my meals. So that is what I ordered with my meal. Tony had his usual Sprite. We are creates of habit! I will be back on Wednesday with a much better blog! But for now I hope you enjoyed this. Talk to you soon, Kayleighx
