Prettying Myself Up

Hi peeps! 

How are you all doing? Today I thought I would share how my makeup looked today here with you seeing as I've posted them on my Instagram and on Twitter 😊 
Before I apply my makeup,  I always like to use my Simple Facial Miceller Water on my face followed by putting on my Simple Moisturiser. I also applied some Jeffree Star's velour lip scrub just to get rid of any dry skin on my lips. 
For the base I used the Rimmel 'Wake Me Up' foundation; blending it with my damp beauty blender. My favourite makeup tool ever! Then I used the Rimmel 'Wake Me Up' concealer under the eyes, around bottom of my nose, chin. Again blending it with the beauty blender. 
For the eyes, I used my new 'GOSH Cosmetics' 001 eye palette using four of the shades. I applied the lightest shade in the inner corners and ended with the third shade; blended it all with my big fluffy eye brush. To outline the eyes, I used Avon's black kohl pencil and I only applied one layer of mascara. 
I contoured my face using Avon's bronzing powder under the cheekbones, lightly down the bridgr of my nose, under my bottom lip and along my jawline. I didn't put any on at the top of my forehead as I had my fringe down so you couldn't see it anyway. Then I highlighted the top of my cheeks, along my nose; down the middle up to just above the nose and a little on my chin. I applied my Technic's blusher along the apple of my cheeks. 
I lined both my upper and lower lips using my Lipliner before applying my new Avon Perfect Red lipstick. 
That's my finished look, I hope you enjoyed learning how to do it my way. I am not a trained makeup artist but I feel I have definitely improved my skills. I enjoy putting my makeup on and creating different looks. Thank you for reading and I shall see you soon!! 

Keep smiling! xxx

Children with Gadgets

Hello everyone, I've been thinking back to a few weeks back when I was having a conversation with somebody. The topic was about kids having technical gadgets like games consoles, kindles, iPads and so on.  Going back to when I was a child, we didn't have all of these. Yes we had an Atari but that was for the whole family and I was in my teens by the time we got it. I had actual children's toys like Lego, Sindy dolls, and other toys. For the days that it rained or was too cold, I'd spend hours playing with these toys and I enjoyed arts. I'd do painting, making things and writing stories.  I liked to play out on the street with the other kids on the street. There were skipping ropes, pogo sticks and that ball with the rope toy etc. It was so much fun and meant we  learnt how to be creative, socialising and getting the exercise needed.  Another thing that kinda annoys me is when parents give their little kids kindles and iPads or even putting a DVD on fo

Child Prodigy

Image
It was just the other day when I came across a documentary by Keith Allen filming James Harries who is now known as Lauren Harries. Does the name ring a bell to you? He was the 80s/90s child prodigy who claimed to know about Antiques. He had thick, curly blonde hair and always wore a dicky bow tie. I'll post a picture of him as a young boy, I'm sure you'll remember him when you see him. Back to the documentary. James is now Lauren after a sex reassignment operation. I actually think she still seems confused and delirious. In fact the whole family are living in a world of fantasy, delirious, disfunctional and delusion. All the way through I kept an open mind, in a way, I kind of felt sorry for them. All those years ago, Mark and Kate must have been really desperate to push their youngest son into the limelight forging a claim that he could do antiquing at such a tender age. I thought it was good that Lauren had counselling during the treatment but when i

How I Created This Eye Look!!

Image
Hi everyone! I want to tell you how I created this eye makeup look on myself from last week. I think it looks really nice and quite natural which is great for every day style.  The products that I used are as follows; Rimmel UK - Pinkadilly Circus Eyeshadow Palette ‘Rosie for Autograph’ by Marks and Spencer - Cream Eyeshadow Stick GOSH COSMETICS - Forever Eyeshadow Stick Avon UK - True Colour Glimmersrick Eyeliner  Benefit Cosmetics - Bang BadGal Mascara  How I created this eye look . I started of by applying the the lightest shade which is a white colour all over the lid as a base.  Then using the light pink along the crease line and all over the lid. Starting from a third off the inner corner, I applied the slightly darker shade just along the lid.  Then with the darkest shade which is like a dark pinky/brown in the outer corner. This creates like a smokey eye effect. I didn’t think it was showing up as much as I hoped so I decided to apply some of the ‘Rosie’ Eyeshadow Stick in the
