Where It All Began! Hi Guys! It was my Nanna's birthday in August so for a gift Tom, Tony and I all put to for a giraffe experience at the Zoo. She absolutely adored it. She was able to feed the giraffes and learn new things about them. One being that Giraffes have a blue tongue. This being because, in Africa they have always got there tongue stuck out eating. When it was pink it would often get sunburnt however, evolution  took over and made it blue so, that it repels the sun and they no longer have sun burnt tongues.  I find that very interesting.  We visited the zoo last week. It was only My Nanna, Grandad and I  as everyone else was working. The zoo isn't to far away from where we live and is called Chester Zoo. It's such an amazing zoo. They are always finding ways to improve the animals habitats and also ways to make the whole day better for those who visit. The animals have very large enclosures and you c...

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! I wanted to share with you this make-up look I created a few weeks ago in college.  For a pre observation our aim was to create what ever we wanted using a prosthetic piece. Me being me, loving fantasy, I created a fire fairy. I mainly decided on the fire fairy due to my friend having red hair. I couldn't really do a blue water fairy when she had red hair (unless I did ariel hmm..). So any way, back on topic.  To create the look I used red and gold glitter mixed with the illamasqua sealing gel. This ensured it would last and set in place. I also used two prosthetic ears. I applied them with spirit gum and made the lines invisible by using liquid latex. The rest was just normal make-up. Apart from red contour that is.  I hope you enjoyed this blog and I will chat with you all on Sunday!  Kayleighx

Hi guys!! The past few days here in Manchester (and probably the rest of the UK) it has been so beautiful. The sun has been shining and temperatures have reached 25ºc. From being very young my parents have always made sure i am protected from the sun. My dad grew up living in South Africa so he is very aware of the damage the sun can do. I think it has been drummed into me from all the years of being caked in sun cream that, being safe in the sun is important. A lot of people think they are to cool for suncream but you really aren't. Just because you are, lets say 16 doesn't mean that you won't get burnt. It also doesn't mean nothing will ever happen to you. One day in the future your past could catch up on you. So no matter what age you are stay safe!! My key tips for staying safe include: Always wear suncream. You may not think you need it but you do. The sun is very dangerous so you must make sure you have a high UVB/UVA sun cream and, that the...

Hi guys! Sorry i was unable to upload a blog on Sunday i was crazy busy getting together the last bits and bobs for my competition which was on Monday. Any way instead of me about to go on a huge rant i will write about what i planed on writing about. I have tried a lot of different foundations over the past few years but there are three which i really love! So me being me, I want to share them with you. I am not a lover of my skin as i tend to get really dark under my eyes, which i hate so much. I drink plenty of water (thats if the cats don't get to my glass first) and i also get plenty of sleep so I'm not sure why they won't go away!! Due to that issue i tend to go for the high coverage foundations. Don't get me wrong, i love light coverage however, i only tend to wear them if i am having a good skin day. Many of you will know what i mean by having good and bad skin days as we all have them. So any way, onto my favourites.  My all tim...
