Products I NEED! (:

So, lately I've been watching a lot of videos and reading a lot of reviews on some certain products that I think sound pretty good!
I've put together a list of all the products I've got my eye on. If you own any of them or know any better ones- feel free to comment! I'd love recommendations of good products.

  1. Gel Eyeliner (L'oreal HIP gel eyeliner? Or mac fluidline? Recommend please!) (:
  2. Colour Sensational Lipstain 
  3. EOS lip balm
  4. Nude lipstick (Any recommendations?)
  5. ELF The Beauty Encyclopedia Neutral Eyes palette 
  6. Foundation (I need one that covers up my red cheeks ^_^ )
And that's all teh ones I can think of at the moment but, as I said, I would LOVE any recommendations you have for products you are loving. (:

heyy!

Hey guys!
I know I haven't done a post in ages and that's mostly because I've had to do a lot of school shopping and other important things like that. (:
I will try to start doing more posts. I know, I always say that, and I do try it's just a lot of the time I will put in the effort and do a post, but no one really comments or anything anyway so I presume they didn't like it, or, my very few followers haven't actually seen them yet.

But- I'll try to do more posts :D

winter fashion

Part two of the seasonal fashions! (:

List of winter fashions :


  1. Coats, jackets (Military = )
  2. Boots! (Preferably leather because they are more sturdy. Uggs are unacceptable. Many a time have i been criticised because of my ugg-ly shoes. Wear the uggs at home.)
  3. Boyfriend Cardigans. 
  4. Skinny Jeans (preferably grey, for that super wintery effect)
  5. Knee-high socks (to wear with boots! They're so super cute when you can see them peeking out above where your boots end)
  6. Layers! (Yes, 'tis the season where you can wear two jackets/cardigans at once!)
  7. Big curls with bows! (So gorgeous and it reminds me of Blair from gossip girl. Idk why)
  8. Berets! Oui or non? OUI!
  9. Scarves. they can make or break an outfit, and they're so cozy!
  10. Tights (for extra warmth when wearing a daringly short ensemble)
  11. Gloves. (fingerless = cute!)
  12. Leg warmers. (if worn in a fashionable way)

WINTER




Summer Fashions!

So, today I was just sitting in the car when, POW!, suddenly i had this massive brainwave for two posts.
One post will be summer fashions and one will be winter fashions!
Because although it is summer where I live, it's winter where most of my readers live, so, to make everyone happy I decided to do a post for both.
I will list a bunch of things which I think are totally perfect for summer then at the end I will have pictures of all of them.

  1. Bikinis! Like, seriously, what else is summer for?
  2. Shorts (especially denim) because they keep you cool but also look so cute!
  3. Oversized or off the shoulder tees (Perfect for wearing over a bikini while you're at the beach)
  4. Gladiator sandals (they look perfect with denim shorts, just so you know) ;)
  5. Wavy beach hair! (OMG soo cute! Can be achieved by scrunching your hair or sleeping on braids, numerous other ways to do it, too)
  6. Flip flops. (My mother says these don't look good the rest of the year but she says they look great in summer!)
  7. Loose summery dresses (especially floral print or bright colours)
  8. Fedoras (especially straw. Straw Fedora + Beach = ♥)
  9. Singlets (perfect for tanning your arms!)
  10. Bandeaus (perfect for underneath an off the shoulder tee.
  11. RayBans. When are they NOT acceptable?

Daily Makeup&SkinCare

Hey everyone!
All Made Up requested I do a post on my daily makeup and Skin Care.
In one of my first posts I wrote about my Clean&Clear Foaming Face wash, Toner and Moisturiser, which I usually use. Although, I don't really use the Clean&Clear moisturiser anymore because I didn't like it. Now I use Olay Complete, which I think is really good because it makes my skin feel really soft and it has spf30 in it, too. For my body I use Vaseline Cocoa Butter moisturiser which smells really yummy, but not in an overwhelming way.

For my daily Makeup I usually wear some BYS white eyeliner to make my eyes look bigger and more awake, then I also apply some Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Waterproof mascara. That is usually all I wear on a normal day, but sometimes I will apply a light eyeshadow from my BYS pallet or, usually a champagne colour, but sometimes I change it up.

Olay Complete Moisturiser 


Vaseline Cocoa Butter Moisturiser


BYS White Eyeliner


Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Waterproof Mascara



BYS Eyeshadow Pallet 




PS: I don't use facial scrubs, etc. because my skin is very sensitive and I don't get breakouts or dry/oily skin anyways so I figure it's safer not to use anything on it other than what's listed. (:

new layout! :D

Okay, so I sort of hated my old layout because I don't really like my blog being so dark and stuff, and today I finally gave in and changed my blog up a bit. The header is the same, not sure if I should change that yet.
So what do you think? Do you like the new look? I tried to actually incorporate some fashion into the background because my old background didn't really have that much to do with fashion or beauty.

I might change it again if no one likes this, please give me tips on what you like and what you'd like me to change!

Also, thanks to Leah (is she mentioned in all of my posts? Hehe) I am sort of more motivated to do more posts. I would also love if you guys could request some more posts that you want to see (e.g. winter fashion, new makeup looks, etc).

Cute Hairstyles for all year 'round

Hey Guys!
Recently I've noticed that I have been doing the same hairstyle over and over again. So, I decided to do this post to inspire me to try out new hairstyles, maybe it will help you, too. (:

Fishtail Braid
Fishtail Braids are soooo pretty! Leah (leahs-land.blogspot.com) is the absolute PRO at doing them. You can check out her blog for instructions on how to achieve this fishy hairstyle.
This look can be seen on many celebrities (such as Rihanna, pictured!) because it is so pretty and it can be really girl or really rock-ish depending on how you wear it.













Messy Bun
The messy bun is so cute and easy! It looks great on anyone and is perfect for people with short-medium hair, although I think it is very hard to do if you have long, thick hair like mine because the bun looked massively oversized and looks ridiculous!








Frech Braid Bangs
This hairstyle is FABULOUS! It goes with any outfit and you can curl or straighten the rest of your hair, and it still looks really great! It isn't very hard, there's plenty of videos on youtube. But basically, you grab a small section of your bangs and divide it into three. You start doing an average braid/plait, but each time you add a little bit extra to the outside pieces. I'm terrible at explaining.



Braided Headband
This s a really fun hairstyle! There's a few videos on youtube for how to do this, and so I wont even attempt to explain. This hairstyle is perfect for going out, but would also look really funky at the beach! You could pair this with an elegant dress, or super cute bikini! Your choice, but whatever you choose, I'm sure you'll look exceptional!
