January Favourites

`

I can't believe January has been and gone and it's now mid February! I don't even know what I did with my life but I do know these are a few things I loved in the month:

• Tangle Teezer Salon Elite Blue Blush
   

Hands down the best brush I've ever used. Before getting my hair cut on Saturday my hair was quite long. It always got itself into a matted, knotty monstrosity and made me wanted to go Bald never mind short (especially when it was windy) But then I got one of these bad boys for Christmas and it changed my life. It glides through my hair so easily, it's like magic!

• Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick Wine 107

Berry lips are in this winter but being blonde and pale, I felt like dark lips would make me look even paler and look too in your face. Then I found this lipstick. I'll admit I originally picked it up because it's one of Zoella's favourites and she's one of my favourite people.. also because it's so raved about and I have to join the rave. It's a berry red wine colour so it's still dark and vampy but not TOO dark and vampy that I look scary :)

• Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Chai

I've been loving grey so much lately! I'm not quite sure why either because I used to hate it because it was a depressing colour and I'm not about rainbows and happiness. But I love it now and this is a beautiful shade of it. A dark dove grey it what I would call it because Don't know what chai is.. what ever it is, it looks beautiful on my nails. It's somewhere between wearing black or white nail polish, not as dark or light and not as in your face.

• Maybelline Falsies Mascara Flared Black

This mascara loves my lashes and my lashes love it. I naturally have long lashes but they're practically invisible because their blonde and point downwards so this mascara is just what I needed; it makes them black and flare out, ooh lovely!

• Soap & Glory Glad Hair Day Shampoo  

I got a tube of this shampoo for Christmas and used it from then for nearly every hair wash throughout January until it ran it out. I think I got about 10-15 washes out of it. I can't quite decide what it is about it I like. It gave my hair a texture which made it feel super clean and at the same time bouncy and not slippery. I'm defiantly going to repurchase the next time I'm in boots and I'll look for a full size one.

• Topshop MOTO Black Binx Jeans

I don't think I've ever been quite so in love with a pair or jeans but these jeans are like my alter ego, they make me feel confident and sassy! ;) They're high waisted which means that they don't fall down and they're are super comfortable. I have noticed that they lose colour quite quickly but other then that I love em'!

• Twitter

I finally got into twitter and actually know how to work it now! XD I've also discovered how super lovely the blogging community is. I've found so many great blogs on there and I love sharing mine on there :)

• Teen wolf

At first I was mainly interested in the hot teenage werewolf  but then I got to season three and the plot went from pretty good to frickin' amazing! There's so many times where I'm wrapped in a blanket cocoon just screaming at the screen things like "TEAM EPIC BADASS WEREWOLF NINJAS UNITE!" "NO DON'T DO IT! *GASP* OMG NO!" and "KISS! KISS! OMG KISS ALREADY!!"  ..Some made say I'm a little obsessed.. I give no argument.

• Mini eggs

I've consumed so may bags that I may turn into an egg.. They're just so good! I'm going to put a stop to this madness next week when lent starts by giving up chocolate again.. but until then.. haha ;)

Okay so they're are my favourite things from January..

 Thanks for reading!

Hope you enjoyed ^.^

What's your favourite things?

Have a super fantastic day!

Wonder Day: Wednesday

Nothing interesting happened today but I just felt like blogging so here's a super short summary :)
..

• Wednesdays are usually my lazy day at school because all I have is double PE second and third period and after that I can go home. Today wasn't that case, I didn't even have PE because my lessons were cancelled, instead I had to catch up on some maths homework I'd missed from last week. It took me FOUR hours and I haven't even finished!.. which now I think about it is quite embarrassing.. haha

• I've had this eye infection called a "sty" all week (which in my opinion is the ugliest word ever) and it's been SO painful. It's also meant I can't wear makeup which I honestly wouldn't care about if I weren't trying to get better at it, it's like trying to get better a drawing with no paper or trying to do magic with out a wand..

• I started watching Teen wolf on Saturday night and was going for "I'll watch 2 a day" kind of plan but that plan started to go down hill quickly as it's been five days and I've watched 18 episodes.. that's not too bad but I've not finished my daily does yet ;) I love the show so far, I don't know if it's because of the supernaturals or the hot teenagers but I love it! and I totally have a crush on Scott *fans face all girly-like*

• I'm currently polishing my army boots. I HATE polishing my boots.. no matter how long I spend on them you can never tell I've even attempted to polish them! I'm  tempted to cheat and use quick shine muhaha ;)

• Ive been loving my Barry M chai nail polish but I'm going to have to take it off for tomorrow *sigh* I'll defiantly be repainting them of Friday!

•  Hmm.. what else has been happening lately..

• I'm still addicted to mini eggs and now my dad keeps bringing me them XD

• Ooh! and My chummy started a blog today! (WOO!) So give her some love here :D 

• I realise while typing this that I appear to be in some kind of uninspired slump (BOO) ..  maybe it's because I'm tired or because is January or maybe it's because I have so many things I have to do and so many things I want to do but not enough time that I'm actually malfunctioning.. aha I don't know what it is but I DON'T LIKE IT! I would much appreciate it if I returned to my usual overly happy self

• My dog just randomly started licking my toes.. haha okay?

• Currently reading: Throne of glass

Okay whale that's pretty much what's on my mind, sorry if it's boring or depressing it's be a "meh" week aha

I'm probably gonna watch some more Teen wolf now ;)

Hope you enjoyed reading ^.^

2015 Lust List

Mini Makeup and More Haul

 On Monday I popped into town on my may home from school and went into Superdrug. I originally went in there to pick up a real techniques miracle makeup sponge that I've heard so much about but when I got there, there was none left! *sign* But did I leave empty hand? well no -probably should of- but no, no I did not. :3

First of all I'll get the boring (but useful) thing out of the way which wasn't from Superdrug. My mum picked me up a diary which I asked her for so I can keep track of my blog posts and when I post them and all.. this is going to be very useful I'm sure, for blogging as well as other stuff that I need to do on certain days. I prefer to hand write notes rather then type them, probably because I have an obsession with stationary (especially notebooks) so I use very opportunity to use

them!

Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher Rose D'Or 34 Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher Rose D'Or 34 

(£7.99)

When I was browsing the Bourjois stand I came came across this magical looking blush and it was so pretty that I couldn't just leave it there. It's a gorgeous shimmery pink colour which is a statement I thought I'd never make, I usually hate pink. But when it's this magical looking how could I resist? I put it on my cheeks early and I can tell you that I doesn't look as shimmery on as it does in the pot, instead it gives you natural and very girly looking Rosy cheeks. I'd also like to point out how neat the container thing is, it's very solid (which I found out the hard way by dropping on the for in the middle of one of the isles and then having to chase after it as I rolled away /).<) You also have to push a button to open it which is handy if you put it in your bag as it's not likely to go everywhere and give you super pretty maths homework (or whatever you have in your bag). I don't think the price is too bad either and when I got to the till, because I bought another £7.99 product from Bourjois I got about £4 off which was a pleasant surprise!

Bourjois Smoky Eyes Trio Eyeshadow Nude Ingenu 4 

 (£7.99)

 Next Thing I picked up was one of the Bourjois Smoky eyes trio.. Pallets? I don't really own any eyeshadow and since I'm quite new at makeup I thought I'd go for neutral colours and a trio will be easier to learn with as they're designed to go with each other. They are all quite shimmer so I'm sure about how subtle they'll be on, but subtlety has never been my my thing plus I'm sure they'll give me super sassy smoky eyes ;) I'm no good at describing colours but I'd say the lighter colour, "the illuminater" is and creamy beige, the middle colour, "the blender and stretcher" is a chocolate bronzey kind of colour which in the light shows hints of gold, and the darkest colour, "the sculptor" is just a darker shade of the middle colour only more brown. :)

 

The struggles of only having 5 fingers available and 6 colours..

Little Mix Eye Love Palette Shade 1 

      (£2.50 in shop)

 I picked up this pallet not even seeing that it was Little Mix, I don't mind though I quite like some of their songs (especially Salute.. that's my jam!) This pallet consists of 6 basic neutral looking colours, all with a bit of shimmer in them but again I'm not fussed. The colours left to right are; Feather, Sunkissed, Golden sand, Dazzling brown, Cocoa dream and Black bird. In my opinion the names match them quite well so I don't need to struggle describing them (whoop!).

          Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Chai

          (£3.99) 

Ooh I just love this colour! I've been wanting a grey nail polish for ages after seeing someones nails on instagram. So when I was going past the Barry M stand my eyes lead me straight to this beauty. It's funny, when I was little I used to hate grey but now I love it! And this is a beautiful shade of it, though I'm not sure why it's called chai.. Not only is it a pretty warm(ish) grey but it's a Barry M Gelly nail polish which is probably my favourite brand of nail polish as they're are very pigmented, come in loads of colours and don't chip very much even on my clumsy days okay that's every day but on my EXTREMELY clumsy days :3 My point being I can go days chip free which is all I need as I have to take my nail polish of on a Wednesday night anyway because I'm not allowed to wear it at CCF (Combined Cadet Force) on Thursdays :( I wonder if I where camouflage nail polish, would they notice? ;) Anyway, I'm looking forward to applying this on Friday!

Okay whale that's all for today..

Hope you enjoyed reading ^.^

Have you tried any of these? or have any recommendations? I'd love to hear your opinions in the comments :)

Have a super fantastic day!

2015 Goals & Resolutions!

I've never been very good at keeping new years resolutions. I normally make one or two up in the last minutes of the previous year with out putting much thought into them and by February I've either; forgotten about them, forgotten what they were and sometimes I've even given up on them completely and moved on with my life.

However, this year I'm determined to make some and stick to them by actually doing something about them. Here are my resolutions for 2015:

•  Be more Productive 

  I.e "get sh*t done" ;) Like I said in my first post, I have a tendency to procrastinate. This then leads to noting being done that needs to be done as I will opt for anything over my homework and find anything and EVERYTHING distracting! This needs to stop. Or at least happen less. Also, I need turn more of the ideas I have swimming in my head in to actual things.

• Be more Organised  

This is one I make every year as I'm a very disorganised person. I'm always late or last minute with everything and there seems to always be something I need to do but if I just got my head down and got on with them straight away then I'd probably feel a lot better at the end of day without the sinking feeling off a essay needing to be in for the next day that I probably haven't even started.

• Be more Creative

This one's a fun one. (yay!)  This one is simply to try and put a bit more creativity into everything. I love to draw (*self promo-alert* I even have a drawing account on instagram www.instagram.com/__ali_art__   ;)) but I tend to just draw a picture of something on the Internet like a Disney character or something but what I want to start to do is do some concept art and just create something beautiful that came out of my head (I mean like an idea.. not my brain xD)

This also aplies to my make-up, hairstyles and fashion sense. I want to try more things and styles out so I don't look so plain and ordinary. Plus I would like to get better at these three things, especially make-up (pesky impossible-to-do winged eyeliner!)

I also went and set myself a few goals that I want to achieve this year, to keep track of these goals I made a "goals canvas"

 

 Tad-Dar! :D

I got the inspiration to make this from the youtuber Ryan Lamont (click here for his channel) and I just knew I had to make one and well I did :) every time I complete a goal, I'll colour it in until they're all colourful and I'm a successful human being.

2015 goals:

• Start a Blog- technically I've done this but I'm waiting until I'm comfortable and know what I'm doing. I feel Starting a blog will help me achieve my other goals..

• Reach 2k on Instagram (@__ali_art__)- I hit 1000 followers in 2014 but lost 140 of them when Insta deleted lots of accounts but I'm determined to get 1k back and even achieve 2k!

•  Take More Photos (and Print Them!)- I want to capture more memories or my adventures and the people I love and I want to fill my walls with the photos I take

• Travel Somewhere Cool- I would love to travel around the world but since that's not likely to happen anytime soon to travel just around the uk would be a good start

• Learn a New Skill- I'll admit, I'm pretty skill-less. I mean I'm "okay" at lots of stuff and maybe "Good" at a few things but I really want to learn a skill that people will "WOW" at but even if that doesnt happen then it will be still nice to have learnted something new

• Read At Least 15 Books- I'm a slow reader but I do really enjoy it! I'm planning to read more then 15 books but I set that as my goal because you know its 2015 and all..

• Discover My Own Style- This goes with the creativey bit I mentioned earlier. In 2014 I grew a lot as a person. I started wearing make-up more and for the first time wore red lipstick out in public (which I discovered I love!) So this year I want to discover my fasihon sense and style as a whole and grow even more as a human :)

Well thats all for today, hope you enjoyed and have a wonderful year!

What are your resolutions and goals?

CYA!
