New Makeup Revolution Palette

Hey guys,

First of all, I know this is already going to be later than usual however I have had plans today and have only just sat down to write this. I also had a spider appear so I panicked obviously and waited ten minutes before asking my mum to rescue me. Traumatized? most likely.

Anyways, I hope you all had a lovely week. This week has been pretty fab for me, the reason..? A secret (well kinda). Although I will say, I'm the happiest I have been in a good while - and not just because I have a week off college now haha, that's just a bonus.

Yesterday/ (Saturday depending on when you read this) I went into town for some false eyelashes because why not. However I also bought a new eyeshadow palette from Makeup Revolution - the 'Flawless 3, Resurrection'. I needed a new white shade so I had something to set my eye base however the colours in this are truly stunning. There's, burgundy, pink, orange tones and some shimmers too. I couldn't resist.

They have changed the packaging and I must say its beautiful. As for inside the palette I did notice a perfume-like smell as I opened it. Even though its not a bad smell, its definitely something to consider noting down. The past palettes haven't let me down with pigmentation and neither has this. They still do give a bit of kick-up but this doesn't bother me for a drugstore product. The shimmer shades aren't the best though. Most are okay but some are a bit disappointing. The matte shades blend like a dream and are so unbelievably soft. Id definitely give the palette an 8/10, and for drugstore that aint bad. (Disclaimer, never tried high end though haha.)

I also recently purchased a new Barry M Strobing cream. I have two others and I like to use these as a base for highlighter. I switched this in store and wow boy was I impressed. It's number 4 - Galactic. It looks pink but gives more of a pearl shine. Almost pink but almost blue. I love it. That's how I'd describe it anyway. Its stunning. I must say if you don't like glittery highlighters, you wont like this as you can see some glitter when applied to the face. Personally I don't mind a little glitter, especially at this time of year but if you're more of a 'au natural' kind of look person, maybe don't get this. I do love this though.

I hope you're all enjoying this warm weather, that's if you are in the UK. I don't know what it's like anywhere else so apologies haha. I actually think its starting to cool down now, thank god. But hey ho, it wasn't that bad - only at night. I guess, embrace it maybe. Or hide like myself.

Until next time, hopefully it'll be better next week but it probably wont - its me!
Adios amigos!xo

I DONT EVEN KNOW

Hey guys,

How's it going? I hope really well! I must say I am ready for this (weird) half term coming up though! I'm pretty sure we don't have a half term at this time of year as it's pretty much summer. Oh well. I already have some plans with a few people and hopefully ill be able to meet up with a few others too to catch up. But who knows, maybe I'll just be asleep the whole time.
Anyway before I move on, HERE's a link to last weeks post, just in case you're interested.


So, I had planned to do an inspired makeup look however, I did two and didn't like either so here we are. I shall try again next week, hopefully I can get some more makeup this week as I am running out and that aint good.

I'm struggling to think of a subject here so I guess this is just of much as a mess as I am. Oh well.

Today I bought some more canvas' - quite big ones too! I don't know why but it makes me feel like an artist when I have one of those. Anyway, I am planning on experimenting on my own way of working and what I like working on. I've realised that I don't really do much personal art so I am trying to get back into that. And I must say, I'm excited.

It'd be nice to get to a point where they are some-what professional, maybe even 'sell-able'. That'd be great! Earning a little for something that I can control and enjoy doing. I don't know whether this is too ambitious or not but hey, why not achieve high? After all, I am a Capricorn! I just think it'd be really cool to have a head start at a potential dream job of mine.

I also went out last night. It was a very good night as always. Each time, I'm getting better with the new environments so I guess that's an achievement!  That and remembering where the loo's are hahaha.  I also tried the slushy drinks, I was not disappointed. Although its not a lot for the money I must say. I also learned that I look great in my friends, boyfriend's glasses. I was impressed. Photos included, you lucky devils.

Gosh I'm already running out of things to say! I think its time I start planning in advance, that's just not how I like to write though. We'll have to see. I might in the summer when I have time.

I'm so sorry that this was really boring but there is bound to be several, lets be real, I'm not exactly a professional at this haha.

I guess I'll just leave it here before I start to write pointless words, hopefully next week will be more interesting - although I do say this every week.

I love you all
Adios amigos!xo

I'm back!

Hey guys,

As always, I hope you all had a lovely week. Mine was very - in fact extremely - stressful but still, onto the new week ahead. If you didn't see my last post where I spoke about my face you can read it HERE.

A few weeks ago I did a post about feeling unmotivated. Well, I think I'm getting my mojo back. I have been quite stressful at college lately but hey, must mean I am doing a lot of work. By that I mean leaving it until the last minute of course, most of it anyway. But like I say I think im getting there again. I'm pretty much going at a normal pace now, instead of no pace at all haha.

I even did a painting today just because I felt like it. I had the idea and motivation to actually do it. And it reminded me why I love art so much. How calming it is and satisfying when you finish. If I wasn't back to being motivated, I sure am now after today. I will leave a picture below of it, it is only simple but still took a few hours and im still quite impressed with myself.
It is Mental Health Awareness week too so the painting actually fits in with this. The semicolon is a big thing, if you don't know about it, look it up for more info. It basically where you can chose to end the sentence but you don't. I cant explain it but the basic thing a semicolon is used for. And it's been related to suicide, you can chose to 'end' the sentence or keep going.

I also was wanting to buy a book called 'Into The Water' by Paula Hawkins. However my mum bought it me for a surprise treat and I couldn't be more excited to read it. If you didn't know Paula is also the author of 'The Girl On The Train' which I also very much adore. Never got to see the film but the book is amazing and I'm not one for reading! I am going to start the book this week so I guess we will see how long this one takes me (hopefully not long).

Yesterday I also made more of an effort with my makeup. Lately I had only been doing eyeshadow and fake eyelashes for the eyes, which still looked great but I didn't attempt the liner. I didn't really feel like the hassle of getting it equal and perfect but last night I did. And I'm so glad I did. It look fab, if I do say so myself.

Before I finish this post, can we talk about how great Harry Styles' new album is?! I absolutely love it. I love all the songs. I also love Miley Cyrus' new song 'Malibu', but I knew I would. She's always produced great music. If you haven't listened to them please do, they might not be your taste but then that's for you to decide.

But I guess that's all for this week, I know it wasn't that lengthy but I hope it entertained you for a few minutes. I'm thinking of showing some makeup looks next week but who knows what will happen haha.

Adios amigos!xo

P.S. Have a cracking week people.

Being vain?

Hey guys,

You doin' good? Great, glad to hear it. I hope you're ready for this post, it's about to get real. Get a tasty snack and drink and get ready for some self love. Before I get into this, I will leave a link to last Sunday's blog HERE, where I listed the songs I have been listening to lately.

So, if you know me, you'll probably know that I always make comments about my appearance - mostly positive ones. Such as 'with a face like this...' or 'how could you not want this..' etc. And I don't need to tell you how many times people laugh or call me vain. I mean yes it is a joke, laughs are always appreciated. But at the end of the day why is it funny that I think I'm pretty or whatever? Does that make sense? I don't know. I get why people call me vain, I mean it technically is.

The google definition is: 'having or showing an excessively high opinion of one's appearance, abilities, or worth.'. But when I sit talking on Snapchat - which involves pictures - I usually just do a selfie. And people say, are you taking photos of your self, again... so vain. Or if I'm late somewhere, they'll point it out and I'll say 'A masterpiece like this takes time'. But why is that showing ''excessively'' high opinions. Like, I just like the way I look. And that has taken a hell of a long time. I still sometimes struggle with my weight but I'm at the point where I don't give a shit, the flab is accepted.

I'm not just going to hide the fact that I am happy with the way I am. After all, why should I? Is that not the goal for everyone? So why is it a sin to show it..?

Don't get me wrong, I think highly of myself but I don't think I'm better than everyone else. Because I'm not. We're all equals and were all beautiful, it just takes others longer to notice. I hate it when someone hates how they look. You can say how beautiful they are but they wont believe you, they have to see it themselves. And its just that I have.

Now, This weekend I went to my local pub twice. Friday and Saturday. Friday because that's when my other friend was available and Saturday because that's a sad day for the family (if you read my 06.06.15 post, you'll know why). But on the Friday I made a real effort, my mum bought me a new dress the same day so I wore that, and I wore makeup like I would normally. However, on Saturday I was more tired than bothered about getting dressed up, so I had an hours nap instead. My whole family were shocked that I was going with no makeup on. However I did wear an even fancier dress than the night before - I say fancier, it was more of an evening dress than a day dress. So I thought I was still making the effort.

Don't get me wrong my family didn't shun me or anything haha, they were just shocked. Though, I still looked great.

Just to go along with this post I thought I'd post some pictures of me with/without makeup. Just so you can appreciate the art:).

No Makeup:

Makeup:

I just needed to question why thinking you look great is bad, because lets face it...It's better. I hope you all know how beautiful (or handsome if there are any guys reading) you are.

I'll let you think about that...

Adios amigos!xo

Little bit tipsy but still working it x
