21 YEARS OLD | MY BIRTHWEEK | KAYLEIGH FLANAGAN

Image
Hi guys! At the beginning of the month, I turned 21 years young (i like to say young as i still don't feel old, even though the title says old!). My family and I gathered together to celebrate my birthday with cake and a scrumptious BBQ! I had a full week off work which was amazing and was able to do so many things with my fiancé! We ventured over to Formby which is home to a Red Squirrel sanctuary. Obviously, because I am incredibly lucky (not) I saw a whole 0 squirrel however, we had a lovely walk around the sanctuary and also, had a mini photo shoot. As well as a lovely picnic on the sand dunes. The next day we went for another walk around a lake! we almost got lost and then later figured out we were on the correct oath back to the car! something always has to go wrong while were out and about but I love it! The following day we went to a national trust property called little mortam hall.This is an old tudor property. The building is so p...

WILL YOU MARRY ME | BELFAST PROPOSAL | KAYLEIGHXFLANAGAN

Image
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 ...

PURPOSE TOUR | SEEING JUSTIN BIEBER LIVE

Image
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...

MESSY HALF BUN

Image
Hi guys!! Lately I have been having a mess around with my hair. I really dislike my hair. It's very thin and has zero volume to it. It's as flat as a nail head. So I have been trying to think of different ways to wear it. I also dislike having my fringe over my face due to how long its gotten. Luckily I'm getting it cut tomorrow!! So I was thinking of different ways I can make my hair appear thicker. I firstky tried back combing it but hated it as it made my hair super notty. I then decided to curl it with my curling wand which I loved. I curled my hair from root to tip. Once it was all curled which roughly took me five minutes, I lightly brushed it through with a paddle brush then, I tipped my head upside down and made it appear scruffy by running my fingers through it. I then grabbed half of my hair and placed it in a bun on top of my head, pulled it out a little bit and made that appear scruffier and tadaaaaaa. My hair looks slightly thicker. Due to curling it,...

ANXIETY & PARANOIA | TIPS & ADVICE

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 ...

HOW TO DEEP CLEAN MAKE-UP BRUSHES

Image
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. ...

LILAC EYE MAKE-UP

Image
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!...

LIBERTY CAKE COMPANY | AFTERNOON TEA

Image
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...

LUSH & ZOELLA HAUL

Image
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...

NO MIRROR MAKE-UP CHALLENGE ♡ 2016

Image
Hi guys!! Recently I have been loving to watch the no mirror make-up challenges. They look like so much fun and they also look super hard. I wanted to give it a go so, today i took to filming the no mirror make-up challenge. It was very hard. I don't know how people manage to successfully apply liquid eyeliner without a mirror. To be honest i struggle to apply it with a mirror!! I'm not sure if i would give it another go as it is really hard and awkward as you aren't sure where to look but maybe one day...  When doing the challenge I realised how hard it must be for those who are either blind or have extremely bad eye sight. Products I used: Smash Box photo finish primer water Chi Chi fabulous and flawless foundation in 0.5 Porcelain. Collection lasting perfection concelar in Fair 1. Chi Chi naturals / sun kiss palette. Rimmel London liquid eyeliner in Black. Soap And Glory Archery eye brow pencil in Blonde. Rimmel London eyebrow masca...
