Autumn Lip Picks


I was supposed to do this post donkey's years ago, hence the Halloween decorations but these will work in the winter too. plus it's still technically Autumn.

As the leaves turn colour so do most peoples lipstick colours (though personally I wear these all year round) I when through my lipsticks and sourced out all the browns, berries and reds and photographed them for you :) Most of these are reds and berry colours but the ones on the left are more natural and brown toned.

From left to right: Rimmel Kate Moss- no. 26 (I think..), Rimmel Kate Moss nude collection- 48, Revlon colourburst matte balm- fierce, Rimmel exaggerate lip pencil- red diva, Rimmle Kate Moss- 107, Rimmel Kate Moss- 101, M.A.C lip pencil- Whirl (also Velvet Teddy but I lost it *sob* but I bought another *purse sob*), and Rimmel Colour Rush Balm- No idea and I'm way to lazy to venture upstairs haha, if you want to know just ask and I'll find out :)

I love autumn and the colder months and all the colours that come with them.

What's your go to Autumn lip?

On My Nails: Barry M Chai



Now we're in the colder months again I can bring back the grey nails YASS! throughout the spring and summer I opted for more colourful nails but the grey is back baby! I've been in love with grey for almost a year. I even painted my room grey and if you know me you know how much I adore colour so it's definitely a strange obsession. But alas, I love it.

Here I'm wearing Chai by Barry M and it's such a beautiful shade of grey, I want to say this is a blue toned grey? But I'm not very good with colours so..

When I was repainting my nails for these pictures, I decided to add an accent nail of glitter because I saw it on pinterest. I was going to a Christmas party that night so the glitter really glammed them up! I can't stop admiring them every time I look at my hands. Even now when I'm typing haha ;)

What do you think?

Wonder Day Sunday

Hey guys! Happy Sunday, hope you're are well and happy :)

I thought I'd do a Wonder Day post because they're probably my favourite to write and I- well, I just feel like blogging.

So where do we begin..

Sixth Form

So I'm back at sixth from now in Year 13, my last year (agh!) and It's more laid back this year since I dropped maths. Well its more laid back with the work load. I still have to worry about Personal Statements and Universities, which are very exciting yet daunting at the same time. I'm actually going to visit Canterbury Christ Church in November for an open day which I;m looking forward to, not only because so far it's my number one uni at the moment, but also because I'll be on a train to London and back alone for the first time and the idea kind of thrills me! Being and adventure enthusiastic and all. I'm staying and my big sister's and going with her and her fiance so it won't be overly scary. I get loss in hull -in fact I still get lost in Brid- so I doubt I'd do very well in Canterbury alone. not only that but I'd look lonely as fudge!

Boxing

Yesterday was my boxing club's home show and I got carded! Whoo hoo! Which means I can fight competitively now. I had a whole medical test which I though I was going to fail the eye sight part off because I'm kind of partially blind in one eye. The doctor did like five different tests after discovering this but finally -at which point I was so nervous that I were worried I have actually sweat marks- he said everything was okay and then handed me a cup to pee in for a dip sample. But Alice got nervous and couldn't go so they gave me the cup to take away and bring it back somewhere in the night went I could (am I being to ope about this? Eh I don't even care, it's just pee haha) It had a happy end though after supping two bottles of Dr Pepper and being asked several times be=y one of the officials, she was really nice though and just found it funny to my relief. It would of been horrible if she was like "URINATE NOW OR I'LL KILL YOUR FAMILY!" yeah, that would of been awkward. I can't go under pressure okay.

Anyway speaking of horrible, at school earlier that day I was get digs of someone people who were saying they don't think I'll be a good boxer because I'm to "nice". I shouldn't really take it to heart because they weren't very nice people who said it and they have never seen me boxing so they can't make judgement. But you know it still hurt. Anyway I felt loads better when I got to the show and talked to my fellow boxers about it would said that I'm good and I'm going to do good plus if I'm carded it must mean my coaches think I'm good enough.

 I'm  just going to have to kick arse at my first fight to prove it to them ;)

Party!

I went to my friends party yesterday which was fun until this girl throw a bottle at this guy and the sh*t went down. To say the least. Theirs a whole long drama behind why the girl threw the bottle, over an ex boyfriend would you believe aha. But anyway good night apart it ending early because of the incident.

Entertainment

I'm currently reading Girl Online On Tour at the moment (which made me want to blog) and I'm loving it so far. I just love the characters that I don't think I'd mind what the plot was but that's great so far too! I still adore Elliot. I'm still in love with Noah. And I've come to the conclusion that I'm Penny. Sure I don't have anxiety or a super hot boyfriend (or any boyfriend aha) but 1. I was going to be called Penny if not Alice 2. She's awkward and clumsy and I am FAMOUS at school for both 3. I blog and 4. she just reminds me of me :) 
 
I went to see Suffragette yesterday and I had goosebumps the whole time and I almost cried twice. SO GOOD.

I've also been kind obsessed with a show called Fairy Tail because you know wizards..

NaNoWriMo

 November is National Novel Writing Month and this year I'm joining in! 'm going to be finally writing the story I've had stuck in my head for the past two years. I'm nervous but excited. Even if I don't complete all 50000 words, I'll have more words then I started with!

Halloween 

And lastly, Halloween! Yay! I can't believe it is so close, I'm so excited! For the whole of October I've been on pinterest, instagram and youtube just stalking Halloween. My room is all decorated and I'm just so ready! This year I'm going as a cat burglar cat because I'm punny like that and I'm going the sixth form party and then Ginger's (code word for my bff). I can't even.. this is actually the best time of the year because it's Halloween then bonfire night and Christmas!!! Not to mention it's my favourite season (autumn) now :)

Well that's all folks ;)

Bye!

A Haul To Blush About

Excuse my terrible pun but this is indeed a blush haul :)

I've been meaning to post this for a while but you know school and stuff.. so you'll have to bare with me on the posting because I have a million and one things to do and like one free evening a week.. but I will do it!

Anywho, somewhere in the summer holidays I had a little blush splurge. Not that they were expensive, they were actually really cheap but I bought them all at the same time.. which is a little excessive but didn't own any before so it's cool.






From left to right:

MUA blusher in the shade Marshmallow
 £1(!)
This a bright pink colour that's is very girly and barbie-ish. I think this will be a great shade for spring (even though it's the first day of autumn.. woo hoo! by the way!) but it will also be good for when I'm feeling all girly and famine.

MUA blusher in the shade Bubblegum
£1
This is a lovely pinky coral colour which I think is very pretty and princessey, if you know what I mean ;) Since it's more coral then pink it's also great for Autumn, I'm gong to be an autumn princess and it's gonna be great!

MUA Blush Perfection Cream Blush in the shade Scrummy 
£2
This is a orangey coral shade and I got this purely for Autumn. I'm just really excited for autumn, I don't know what else to say aha.

Barry M 'Make Me Blush' Cream blush in the shade 2 Rhubarb Crumble
 £4.49
This again is a pinky coral colour, similar to bubblegum but in cream form and it's like a stick of blush so it's easy to draw where your blush goes and then blend it in. This was the first one I got because I think it's quite a classic blush shade.

MUA Luxe Whipped Velvet Blush in the shade Ritzy
£3
I think this one is my favourite. It's a dark pink colour and on it's very rosy and "ooh it's chilly outside" Perfect for winter and the colder months. It's also very creamy, kind of like a moose.

Well thanks for reading!
I hope you enjoyed ^.^
