Happy Halloween!! 🎃

Image
Hi peeps!!  Happy Halloween to you all!! Hope you have all had a great weekend celebrating this fun holiday?! I didn't go to any Halloween themed events, unfortunately. However; seeing as my niece was coming to do her trick or treating at my house and at her other grandparents house, I decided that I would dress up for her. I already had a skeleton dress from last year's Halloween so made my mind up to just wear that. Also I had a few decorations plus I bought a few more so we just placed them on the mantel piece. My dad even carved us a pumpkin out as well 🎃  My face I used some white face paint just lightly applying it. Using a mixture of green, orange and burgundy shades I applied those around my eyes building up like a deep bruising effect and lightly across my cheeks where you would normally contour and softly built up the black on top. I then used a new liquid eyeliner 'Rimmel' to draw the mouth line. I used just black on the tip of my nose making like a...

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 applie...

Starting Crafting Again

Hi peeps, How are ya all doing? I'm sorry it's been a few weeks since my last post, just had a bit going on in my life. There's been a few appointments, my cousin's wedding night do (she got married in Turkey) spending time with my sister and baby niece, and been resting as I've struggled with pain and fatigue. I can't believe it's September already! Can you believe that my niece was 7 months old yesterday, she's doing so well and she makes me a very proud auntie. If you follow my Instagram account or my Facebook page, you will see pics of me with her. I'll post links to them below or I  think you can click on the icon buttons along the side of this blog site. For the past few weeks, I've been looking for inspiration to create new cards etc. by browsing through craft magazines and on Pinterest. So as you can imagine, I have started making a few cards already. I will be making more including some very special ones which shall be revea...

Starting At A New College/University?! Read on...

Hey peeps, Seeing as it is the time for starting at school, college and university; I thought it would be perfect timing for me to talk a little about my tips/advice for starting somewhere new; specifically a residential place. We all know how excited, scary and apprehensive it is when starting somewhere new hence why I'm doing this blog post. It was fifteen years ago when I first went to a residential college, I was just sixteen years old and it was my first proper time away from home besides my many hospital stays. The college I went to was Beaumont College and it is run by Scope. I was a student there for three years and I made memories that will stay with me for a lifetime. As it was residential and I was very lucky in having my own room, I was able to take whatever I wanted with me. I wanted to create a space that was my own and felt like home, so I had photo frames of my friends and family. I had posters up on the walls (the walls were bare!) and I also had my ow...

My First Beauty Post

Hey Peep, Yesterday I bought the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation and decided I wanted to try it today. Many people I know have a 'Day' foundation and another one for special occasions which is usually more expensive. I recently started using my Make Up Forever foundation and it is soon going down. I love it! It doesn't smell funny and has a lovely coverage. It feels nice and light on my skin. It's also a good match for my skin which is important. Now this Rimmel one is great for just every day wear and I much rather spend £8 or £9 regularly than £40+ which I think the Make Up Forever costs. Here is my #motd look for today 😊 Hope you like it!   Rommel Wake Me Up Foundation - Ivory  Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealor - Ivory  Avon Cosmetics Glimmerstick Diamonds Eyeliner- Black Benefit Cosmetics Eyeshadow Pallette Worod Famous Neutrals - Most Glamorous Nudes Ever Kit - used Birthday Suit, Call My Bluff, Kiss Me, I'm Tipsy and It's Complicated.  Techn...

Knowing Oneself's Worth

Hey peeps! I really need to be more consistent with my blogging and I truly wish I was. The main reason why I am not is because I struggle with fatigue. It's something that I'm coming to terms with but I know with my terrible sleeping pattern; this doesn't help matters! Right now, I'll give you a brief summary of what I've been up to since my last post. There's been birthdays (including my own), appointments, catching up with friends and spending quality time with my family... can you believe my niece is now six months old (today)? On personal matters, I have been trying to understand myself that bit more. Ever since I went to senior school, I have been plagued with having a lack of confidence and self esteem, and I want to change that. I know my self worth. I think anyone can understand when I say that some of it is in our own heads. We may experience difficult times that leave an after-affect on us; for example I always felt like I was awkward and...
