My Look For Mum's Birthday Celebrations!!

Hey peeps!!

How are you doing?? Yay it's weekend!! I've had quite a positive week, resting, seeing family, celebrating my mum's special birthday and seeing my new support worker. 😊
I decided I wanted to share my makeup look for my mum's birthday meal with you all.


I started off my usual routine consisting of applying my Simple Moisturiser and a little bit of the Benefit Cosmetics Primer. Then using my damp Beauty Blender, applied my Makeup ForEver Foundation and with some Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer under the eyes, a little around my nose and on my chin. I decided to try and do a little 'baking' under my eyes to see if I notice any difference but I'm not sure if I put enough for there to be anything different. 
As always; I contoured using the Avon Glow Bronzing Powder in Deep Glow in the usual areas. It goes where you can feel just under the cheekbone (on me it's where it meets the bottom of my ears), a little along my nose either side, around the hairline, under my bottom lip and on my neck to give me a bit more glow. I then used the BC (Body Collection) Baked Blusher in the Rose shade. 
For my eyes, I used a few different eye palettes. To begin with I used the Matalan Candy Couture Eye Palette as a base. Then I applied two of the shades out of the Marks and Spencer Limited Face Palette to get that smokey effect. There was a slight shimmer but only enough as I would be highlighting and wearing shimmery lip gloss. I outlined my eyes with the Avon Kohl Eyeliner in True Black.I applied a few coats of Avon Big & Multiplied 3x Volume in Black. For some bold decision making, I unusually decided to try some false eye lashes. I used the Eylure Texture No117. These are pre-glued and have the half cut ones which I thought were perfect for me to try. I thought I did a pretty good job until I realised that they were too far above my lash line but with practice, I can only get better, right?!? 
I had recently bought the New Look Highlighter Stick in Gold shade and I put this along my cheekbones, under my eye brows, on my nose and on my Cupid bow. Anywhere that light would natural shine on your face ☺ I really like this stick, it's so easy to use and saves you using a brush so could be perfect for going away on holidays!
Lastly to finalise my look, I drawn the outline of my lips with New Look Lip Liner in Pink (apologies as unable to remember the exact shade name), filled the lips in and coated them with new New Look Plump Lip Gloss in Nude Pink. This colour is very pale for me but it was a nice change although I did feel a bit bare without my usual darker shades! Ha! 
Do you like this look and if you recreate this look, then be sure to tag me in your social medusoid posts with you doing this look. Anyway, that's enough from me and I shall see you in my next post. I hope to not leave it as long this time though. Take care and keep smiling!! ❤ xxx

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

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

Dating and Disability

Hi peeps!! How are you doing? I hope you're all keeping well and that life is treating you with love and kindness.  As I've been watching ITV2's Love Island and have continually be surrounded by couples whether it's friends, family or even celebrities, it's really made me think about dating.  Everyone makes it seem so easy and I know it's not, but that's how it looks to me. I'm thirty-two and it's been way too long (much longer than I dare to admit here!) since I dated anyone. I feel it's definitely gotten harder for me. In the last four or five years, my health has deteriorated which means I no longer go out on nights out, I don't go to any clubs and there's rarely a chance for me to meet anyone. Although when I used to go out night-clubbing; meeting someone who was heavily intoxicated, really didn't do any favours and it wasn't my preferred way of meeting someone. A few friends have suggested trying out dating apps/site
