beauty&fashion favourites.. march

I'm writing this on the last day of March, and this has been an okaaay month actually, the weather was lovely.. for about a week, hehe. I'm just waiting for it to come back.. :) Anyway these are a few (mainly beauty related) things that i havn't stopped using!

♥A lottt in this past month i have been applying this gorgeous nail polish- which is the Avon nailwear pro in 'Viva Pink'. It is amazing. It's the perfect bright pink colour, and looks really nice on my skin tone, which usually bright pinks don't. It's actually my mums and she loves it too but... i think i may steal it, hehe- well i already have. 

♥The John Frieda frizz-ease hair serum (normal formula), this has been great for the last couple of months where there's been a bit of fog and dampness in the air. It just keeps your hair smooth and sleek all day long without frizz.

♥I love my qvs duo-fibre stippling brush, which i got ageess ago but i STILL love it. I use it for my foundation and it's sooo much better and easier for me than using the normal foundation brush, which now i find leaves streaks and lines and takes a lot more time to apply- this just creates a flawless and even effect, I got it from Superdrug, and highhhly recommend it, it wasn't even very expencive! 

♥And the last thing, and DEFINATELY my favourite at the moment is my mac select moisturecover concealer. It is a-m-a-z-i-n-g for undereyes, which is all i really use concealer for. I occasionally dot some around my nose area and any other blemishes and it works great for that too. I adore this, it's a biiiit pricey for what i'd usually pay for a concealer but i am definately going straight back and re-purchasing when it runs out. :)

Well that's it for my 'favourites of the month', there wasn't actually very much, but i suppose i havnt been loving a lot this month. Thanks for reading!

sunshine makes everything better ♥

♥ it's sunny! woooop. It feels like forever that we've been waiting for this sun, and this week just gone has been beautiful, i'm hoping for the same this week. Everything about the sun makes things better in life to be honest- no more getting wet on the way to school, brighter evenings, lips less dry- able to wear lipstick again!;), better days out, summer clothes- everything! And hopefully this summer will be a good one too, well that's optimistic thinking! ;) 

♥ Hmm.. so this week i have to read this dull book for an english assessment by friday, learn my German speaking assessment, revise for Science and Maths tests this week, and perform this stupid play in drama-_- Anything else they wanna add to my exciting week!? Plus, i feel like i'm coming down this a cold, so i've been drinking vitamin C tablets everyday- i'm determined not to get one! I'm also thinking of completely clearing out my wardrobe to ditch and sell old clothes. I want to get this week out the way, ready for next weekend:) I don't have any definite plans at the moment, but me and a friend are planning on going to the cinema and i think i'm seeing my nan aswell, so that will be nice.

Bit of a life-story up there^.

Dinner outfit ♥

so I went out for lunch/dinner with my friend the other day, to the harvester and it was gorrrgeous!;) I had the spicy chicken breast with chips, corn-on-the-cob and piri piri sauce, a re-fillable salad bowl, and a humongous 'honeycomb explosion'. At the end we were so full up we could have burst, and we had to walk back-_- hehe, but it was lush. 

And on to the point of this blog post, this is what i wore..

♥ I dont know why the pictures are really blury! But nevermind, that's what i wore- a floral dress/top, with thick grey woolly tights, brown boots, a white scarf and i also wore a cardigan on top. With my hair in a messy, high bun.

♥ I can't remember the exact makeup i wore, but pretty much.. A light, shimmery eyeshadow all over the lid, browbone and inner-corner, with a darker shadow in the crease (mac- sable), a thin line of liquid liner and mascara. I would have worn the no7 tinted moisturiser in medium, mac studio-fix concealer under eyes, maybelline powder and mac springsheen blush.

That's it, it was a really good day. After we walked back to my friends house and took her brother to prom, and watched everyone arrive. I ended up sleeping round hers then the next day we went shopping and to ikea. :)

A haul nearly not worth doing..

i went into town yesterday with my dad, at around 5:15, and the shops shut at 5:30, hence the lack of items ;). We needed to get something quickly, but i obviously had to have a tiny look round a shop or two, and got a couple of things which i really didn't need to do a blog post on, but i'm going to anyway. <3

♥ i found this gorgeous bracelet, which i've actually had my eye on for quite some time, and it was reduced to half price. It was originally £7.50, which to me is a tiiiny bit pricey just for a bracelet, but was reduced down to £3.75 - Baaargain. It's from Topshop, and has delicate, baby pink beads and a rose, with a gold petal. 

 ♥ i next got the lovely Natural collection 'Apple Blossom'. Which i have also wanted for a very long time. I'm not going to insert a picture, as i'm sure you've seen it before. It's basically, a pretty light nude lipstick. This was £1.99, which i must say is ah-maazing, considering it's gorgeous and good quality.

 

So yes, that's it i'm afraid. Really wasn't very exciting but nevermiind, hehe. The total price came to £5.74 - woaahh, splash out! Well I'm happy with what i got on my little 15 minute shopping trip ;).

Blossom on the trees& not having a cold.

Recently i've been loving a lot of (the small) things in life, and thought i'd share...

-Quality time with friends& eating my heart out.. ♥

-Not having a cold. I always have a cold.  

-The sunshine finally coming out, and the blossom on the trees.

-Designing my bedroooom.

-Making cakes& biscuits...

 

-Waterloo road& Come dine with me- sad, i know.

-J-J-J-J-Jessie J. 

- I love this -->

 Hmm.. so, i've had a pretty boring week tbh, and probably a boring weekend too but i dont caaare at least i get a lie-in. ;)  It's now saturday morning at 12 o'clock, and i should get dressed in a minute.. But i'm writing this, so naa not atm ;)  It's really sad news about Japan, and now Thailand aswell, so if you can it would be amazing to donate some money, and at least think about them :'(. I did my german writing gcse the other day and got a B so i'm ok with that, i got an A in my last writing so i'm not too bothered. Now we've started the coursework for speaking- i hate speaking tests, so much work! I am reeally looking forward to the May holidays, as me and my best friend everrrrr Shannon are having a massive shopping spree in Birmingham, we need to save, we're aiming for over £100, at the moment i have around £10. hehe. Anyway i better get washed and dressed, i may be going to town or cinema with a friend later but we'll have to wait and seeee.

13 Personal questions tag :)

Hello! I'm going to be answering the 13 personal questions, which is a tag that's been going around youtube recently. So here are the questions.. :)

1. What do you order at Starbucks?

I order the Coffee Frappacino mostly all year round but if it's really cold then a Caramel Mocha Latte, yum;)

2. What's one thing in your closet that you cannot live without?

Cardigans! I wear cardigans with eveeerything! 

3. What's one thing that most people probably wouldn't know about you?

Umm, hard one.. I don't really know! Either that I have something called HyperMobility (because it doesnt make me look any different! haha) and it's a condition where you are basically reeally bendy and your joins (say your elbows) can bend quite a bit further than they should, and because of that my knee has dislocated a few times and i have to go to hospital and it's the most painful thing:( Or... that i have a Great-Grandad who is about 104/105 now and lives in Australia LOL ;)

4. Name one thing that you want to do before you die

Umm.. i reaally dont know! I don't like plan masssively ahead (even though i've kinda planned out my future LOL) but never really thought about it.. Probably have a baby :):):) haha becausee i obviously want a baby when i'm older anyway, but if you think about it, it's quite a big achievement!- like carrying and raising a human being, and it's a life commitment so yaa :))

5. What's one food that you cannot live without?

Hmm.. I love food. Like I can eat anything, i'm the most un-fussy person ever haha! But probaaaably pasta because there's so many different types and you can have anything with it really, e.g. Spagghetti, chicken pasta, spicy pasta, creamy pastaaa etc;)

6. What quote/phrase do you live your life by?

Well i dont really have a specific 'quote' I just live by thinking just do what you want to do in life and don't let anyone stop you. Like, if you want to do something then go for it! It doesn't matter what other people say, because you're doing it for you and not them and you don't live to impress others.

7. What do you like and dislike about the YT community?

I like that i think it's amazing how anyone in the world can do it, and it doesnt matter who you are! The beauty YT community is like a little (well biggg) family, and anyone can join. I don't like the whole fakeness that some gurus develop, as in saying how good a product is when theyre being sponsored to say it, and you kind of lose trust in that person. But a lot of people dont do that, there's just a few! haha.

8. What's your number one most listened to song on iTunes?

Urm let me check :) 'Blah blah blah' by Kesha hahaa, i havnt gone on iTunes for so long now Limewires gone, so that was ageess ago!

9. What kind of style would you define yourself as having?

I dont really know, like most people out there haha. I'd say just whatever I feel like that day! Kind of a mix of casual, simple and girly, but I do love to dress up on nights out of course! haha.

10. Favorite number

Three! Always has been and probably always will be. :)

11. Two hobbies

Urmm, dancing and .. i dont know another one really, makeup i suppose! I love playing around with it and making up different looks etc.

12. Two pet peeves

Hmmmmm.. i have a lot of pet peeves! And i mean A lotttt! I think i might do a whole blog on them at some point ;) But probably when you're sitting next to/near someone and they keep making continuous irritating noises! Like sniffing, or chewing really loudly, or hitting their foot against a table LOL. That just annoys me, and also when you're talking to someone and you know they're not listening! Then they ask you a question about it later in the day or something and you're like 'I told you earlier!' Lolll;)

13. Guilty Pleasure

Umm, watching youtube videos i think! I'm always just sitting there at night watching YT vids and I look at the time and it's like 1 in the morning!-_- So addictive! Haha!

Ok that was all the questions, I tag you if you want to do it!
