Hi guys! It feels like forever since I have written a blog post. I have slacked a lot with my blog as I have been focusing on my Youtube channel however, I now would like to get back on track with my blogging as it is something I really enjoy doing. So now 2017 has arrived, well it arrived a few weeks ago but anyway, I am going to start blogging slightly more. Kicking off the 2017 Blogs I wanted to tell you all 6 things that made me happy during 2016! 2016 has had it's ups and downs and has been memorable for many reasons. It's been a great year but also a year from hell (kind of like everyones year really, just for different reasons). Anyway, before i start rambling on again.... Here are the top 6 things! 6 things that made me happy in 2016 Picking up our kittens: On the 17th January 2016, My brother and I were lucky enough to be able to buy a siamese kitten each. We named them Luna and Akira. If you have read my previous blogs you will proba...

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! It's autumn so that means it is time to bring out our red and plummy lipsticks.  Know, I have quite the collection of lipsticks and love to buy new ones. It's a bit of an obsession. You hear about some people being obsessed with handbags and shoes but with me it's lipsticks... So today, I thought I would share with you my favourite drug store and high end lipsticks. Most of them are matter however, some aren't. Drug Store NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream: Copenhagen I absolutely adore the NYX soft matte lip creams. They are so easy to apply and are super cheap. I wrote a blog post not to long ago reviewing them. Since then, My collection has rapidly grown. I seriously think NYX are the drug store liquid lipsticks gods. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream: Transylvania  This colour is slightly darker then Copenhagen  I mainly wanted the colour because of the name. I was thinking if it's called Transylvania then surely it i...

Hi guys! As many of you will already know Autumn (Fall) is my favourite season. So I have been watching a few autumnal videos and came across Simply_Kenna's Autumn tag. I decided to jot down the questions as well as add my own. So for todays blog post I am going to answer a few of the questions for you. Question 1 - Do you ignore the leaves on the ground or step on them? Answer 1 - I am one of those people who will always go out of my way to jump on the leaves. It doesn't matter if they are across the road, if they look extra crunchy, I will cross the road just to step on them! Question 2 - Rake the leaves or leaf them buy? Answer 2 - Firstly I am loving the leaf pun!! we don't have leaves in our garden but I think, I would maybe rake some and leave some one the ground. Question 3 - How close to the fire place can you sit before you get to warm? Answer 3 - I love the sitting next to the fire place whilst drinking a hot chocolate or warm Ribena. When it gets reall...

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,...

Hi guys!  In January of this year we was lucky enough to bring home two beautiful siamese kittens called Luna and Akira. Luna is a chocolate point Siamese and Akira a lilac point.  They were born on the 17th November 2015. When going to view the kittens initially, it was only my brother who wanted one however, Tony and I immediately fell in love with Luna.  She was incredibly calm and just wanted love. Whilst Akira was mischievous and wandering around! When I was a toddler, we owned a cat called Hazel but sadly, she was attacked by a fox so had to be put down.  Luna and Akira are the only cats we have had besides Hazel so, I thought I would give you a few tips and advice which I have learnt along the way. Choosing your kitten You can either get your cat from a breeder or a rescue centre. We opted for a breeder as we knew we wanted Siamese. You want to ensure the breeder you are buying of is gen...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkXReamGrXg Hi guys! Today I posted a video over on youtube channel of my everyday make-up routine. This is the look I have been wearing over the past few months. It's very natural and looks day time appropriate. It is hard to describe how I applied the make-up so instead I have listed all of the products down below so you can take a look at what I used (and the order that I used them) or the link for my video is listed above. The products I used in this look include: Still one step correct primer Nars Sheer Glow in Siberia Rimmel London Match perfection powder in Translucent NYX Contour Kit Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerise Naked on the run eye shadow in Diva Collection Lasting Perfection Concelar  Soap and Glory Thick and Fast Mascara High Definition Collagen Formula in Black Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pomade in Blonde Rimmel London Eyebrow Gel in Blonde NYX Lip Cream in Cannes I love the way mascara makes my eyes ...

Hi guys! I'm not sure why but lately I have been absolutly loving matte liquid lipsticks. I still enjoy wearing glossier lipsticks however at the moment, my favourites are matte. I love the way they leave your lips looking. The only down side to matte liquid lipstick is that they can leave your lips feeling quiet dry and, can occasionally cause your lips to stick together. It doesn't bother me to much but I would prefer it if they didn't. Any way, I have a few favourites brands but today, I want to tell you about my all time favourite affordable brand which is NYX. They are call NYX Matte Lip Cream. I love how easy they are to apply and I am a huge fan of the applicator. I think I apply these better than I can apply most of my liquid lipsticks. The product just seems to glide on and, it doesn't look streaky in the slightest. I have also found that they last for quite a while. Not as well as the more expensive brands but they still last for a good while. I receiv...

Hi guys! I apologise for not posting a blog post in a couple of weeks. This week my cousin who lives in Australia came over to visit. We have spent some lovely family time together and made lots of new memories.  Day one: The first day that Nikita arrived we stayed home and enjoyed some rainbow cake Tony (my boyfriend) and myself made. It didn't look the best from the outside however, it turned it turned out to be super tasty, We also had yorkshire pudding and sausage for tea seen as it's a classic english food. Day two: Myself, Tony, my brother Tom and Nikita all went into Manchester city centre. We firstly went into Lush. Nikita was amazed by the size of the store. We spent a good while in the store before heading to our favourite buffet restaurant The Red Hot World Buffet. It was tasty and we went home stuffed!! Day three: We had my grandparent over and enjoyed a lovely buffet before sitting down a...

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 ...
