"Pretending It's Summer" Spring Makeup & Hair



Long time no see! School and life sucked up all my time.. so sorry.
Anywho, the other day I decided to make an effort so I got dressed (for once aha.. I love pjs), put make up on and even curled my hair. 

I didn't go anywhere (apart from McDonald's at 2am ;) ) so naturally I took 5386 selfies to document my efforts. These were the only two I liked but I do really like if that's not cocky to say because they're so bright and colourful AND UNEDITED! 

My makeup is pretty basic and you can't really see it here but on my eyes is a pinky shade (I'll list all products below) my cheeks are pink and glowy, my lips are a pink and I put a white eyeliner through my waterline to open up my eyes. Super basic but I think it's a nice "spring pinks" makeup, fresh and quite natural looking. If I do say so myself.

For my hair I curled it with the babyliss curling wand (again I'll link below) and put a sh*t ton of hair spray on because my never holds curls. I have to admit my hair has never curled so well. I'm not sure if it's the wand or the fact that my hair is short now. Speaking of being short, since it's short I didn't achieve the beautiful long feminine curls I was after and instead look like I have a birds nest on my head. I kind of like it though, it's playful and a tad out there which is cool with me :) I'm certainly going to curl my hair more often.. though I should probably invest in a heat defence. Always use protection ;)

With the makeup, hair, tie dye to and dungarees I love this look and will certainly wear it again through spring and summer!

What do you think? 

Products used:

Bronzer and Highlight- Collection Contour Kit £3.99




TRESemme Extra Hold Hair Spray 500ml £5.25 (though I got it cheaper at bodycare)

Top- Poor Boy in Hull

Dungerees- Newlook (for years ago though)

FOTD: Go To Makeup


I get poesy when no one answers my texts haha. I don't wear makeup everyday -mainly because I'm always late so I don't have the time- but when I have been wearing makeup, this has been my go to look. I'm in love with Velvet teddy by M.A.C and have been reaching for it every time I put makeup on. I haven't even worn my beloved red lips in a while and it's Christmas! I better change that. Anywho, I based the rest of the look on the lips. Since the lips are brown-ish I bronzed my face and contoured a little, I then put the bronzer through my crease in a dome shape to suit my slightly hooded eyes. Then blush, highlight and mascara and boom, out the door. My eyebrows are a bit cray cray, I plucked them the other day and they look a tone better then they did before but I'm thinking of starting to fill them in.. I don't know if I'm brave enough through aha.

FOTD: All Out Casual




Despite being tragically unphotogenic, I quite liked my makeup today :) It's what I would call "all out casual" as the bold lips are like BAM in your face but I'd still and did wear it on a regular day. But then again I'm not one for subtlety ;)

Products used:
  • Rimmel wake me up foundation
  • Collection lasting perfection concealer
  • Rimmel stay matte power
  • Maybelline the falsies- dramatic black
  • Bourjois bronzing powder
  • Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher Rose D'Or 34 
  • Rimmel Kohl eyeliner
  • Loreals super liner
  • collection little mix all about the face
  • Bourjois smokey eyes
  • Rimmel 107
The sad thing is I took quite a few pictures this morning and these were the only three I didn't completely hate XD It's just one of those days haha..

Whale this is the shortest and fastest post I've done..

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed ^.^
Please leave a comment telling me your thoughts, would you wear it? Do penguins have knees?
 Hope you all have super fantastic day!
CYA!

I Have Short Hair!

A lady in the hairdressers said I looked like Taylor Swift with this hair so I put on my hat ;)



 I've wanted to cut my hair for ages to get rid of my dead and spit ends and to put life back into it. So this morning I went to the hair dresses on a mission. Yesterday, my hair came to around halfway down my back, my side fringe had grown too long to be identified and my hair was too heavy to do anything with. So I just wore it up most of the time. Today my hair; just touches my shoulders, is full of life and in my opinion is pretty darn fabulous! ;)

What I love about it is that it's kind of 'edgy' and is supposed to be messy and 'roughed up'. I also think I represents me more.. if hair can do that? I think I makes me look more artsy and creative as well as quite girly but at the same time not a "girly-girl" and not to mention a little wild and crazy ;)

The only down side is that it's too short for updos so I can say goodbye to my beloved messy bun for a while. I also can't put it in a low bun which I need to do for CCF and I don't know how I'm going to put it up for boxing and general exercise.. BUT I don't care too much because I love it! :)

Just think about how much shampoo I'll save.. oh my


This is the photo I showed my hairdresser, I found it on pinterest, fell in love and then automatically decided to go short


Okay so that's all for today!

 Thanks for reading!
Hope you enjoyed ^.^
What's your hair like?
Have a super fantastic day!
CYA!

Red Lips and a Messy Bun


                                
                   

I woke up late this morning which only left me like 5 or 10 minutes to get ready and get out of the door, (Story of my life!) This meant that I didn't have time wash my hair which had seen better days so not only was a bound to look dead and sleep deprived at school I was almost certain to have greasy hair!

But, "Is it a bird?" "Is it a plane?" "No, it's super...er...bun!"

Okay well maybe a messy bun isn't a superhero but in your time in need it's a life saver (your social life that is ;))

After quickly whipping my hair into a messy bun, I ninja-ly applied some concealer, eyeliner and mascara, nothing fancy just de-zombifying myself.

A messy bun is often my go-to hairstyle;
> It keeps my hair out of my face and out of thought so that I can move on with my life without constantly correcting my fringe or parting. This is very convenient for school or work.
> It hides my many bad hair days.
> and personally I think it looks quite nice. On the rare occasions that I have a good hair day, where my hair's lovely and voluminous, and still do a messy bun it can look quite tumbr-ish when put with a cute tumblr looking outfit :)

On the way home from school I got the inspiration to do a blog post on this look as I wear it a lot.. it's probably my most worn make-up look, I really like it! So when I got in I added foundation and my beloved red lip.

[please excuse my failed attempts to be poesy ;) and the bad quality of photos.. I'm still learning xD]

   
I've been loving this outfit ^.^ my jeans are from Topshop and my shirt is from primark :) 


            
 My attempt at zoella's profile picture pose ;)

                            
           

The products I used:
[ ^^^ wow I need to broaden my horizons XD]

hair: brushed and backcombed with a tangle teezer and then sprayed with hairspray
I usually use a dry shampoo for texture and volume but I ran out..

(these two have weird lighting but it shows the colour of my lips better :) )

       

        

                                            
.... and this is what happens when I realise I suck at posing.. enjoy!


Would you wear this look? feel free to tell me your opinion in the comments.

Hope you like itand have a great day ^.^

CYA!
