Everyday makeup

I am no makeup artist, but I thought I'd film a video on how I do my makeup everyday.

I really think I'm getting the hang of this. I mean look? I even made a decent thumbnail!

ootd #3 Blue and white.

This ended up being one of my favourite outfits this summer. It may have something to do with the number of compliments I got whenever I wore it ;)

I think the reason I loved this outfit so much was because I thought the colour combination was complimenting my skin tone quite nicely and the fit of the button down shirt was amazing because it cinched in at the waist but gave an illusion of a bigger bust (which is always good in my books) and paired with the white jeans, which made my already large behind look larger (also not a bad thing) this whole compilation gave me and everyone else the illusion of an hourglass figure.

I just felt so confident and good about myself in this for all those little reasons. 

It just goes to show that even the little things can make you feel great about yourself and everyone needs to realise that they ARE allowed to feel as amazing as you want :)


Hope everyone has/had/is having an awesome day.

YES ITS ME! Outfit of the day: #1 bright neon coral.

No more introductions!

Yes I know it's been a long time but I have no excuse for you. I stopped during exam season and just didn't have the urge to get back on here. 

But clearly now I do! 

I wanted to start doing fashion posts because it's one my many interests so here I am doing one.

This neon pink shift dress from Primark which is only £13 has been a favourite of mine this summer.

As a bit of a curvy gal I wasn't sure this would suit me but it turned out to be gorgeous! 

Just looking at this dress puts a smile on my face because of the amazing colour! 

Unfortunately because it's from Primark it is only available in store however if you click on the links below or the button on the picture that says 'shop this post' then you'll find some very similar dresses for a relatively good price.

Procrastination is the thief of time.

Well hey there internet!

Things have been pretty busy lately... And when I say busy I mean they should have been busy and productive buuut they weren't .

I have no one else to blame but myself.

I know that I'm lazy, it's one of my not so great traits. I come from a pretty lazy family aswell so that doesn't really help either.

Laziness is contagious. You see someone lazing around doing nothing and it makes you want to do the same. At least that's how I see it. 

And what does laziness lead to? 

PROCRASTINATION! 

The thief of time and also the most annoying thing ever! 


No one WANTS to procrastinate but you can't help it.

At that time and place you'd rather be doing anything and everything else apart from the one task you're supposed to do. 

Now I'm not here to tell you how to overcome this because there isn't really any other cure for it other than your willingness to get the job done.

But if you think your level of procrastination is so bad that it's causing problems then you need to step back and have a real think about why that is.

Sometimes it's just the case of not wanting to do a task but needing to in order to get to a task you want to do.

But it also may be the case that what you're doing is not something that makes you happy anymore.

Anywho those are just some random thoughts I've been having seeing as though procrastination has been a  bit if an issue in my life recently.

Question of the day: are you currently procrastinating right now?

Provocalips

Well hey there internet!

Now I don't know about you, but for me the time for wearing dark lipsticks and deep colours are coming to an end so here's one of the few deep lip colours I quite liked this winter.

So let’s just take a break from the world of whether or not the dress is black and blue or gold and white, instead I’m going to talk about the colour red!
Ok that was a poor transition but I really just wanted to include the whole dress phenomenon.
ANYWHO, I decided this winter was going to be a time for me to come out of my comfort zone a little bit as I had been doing that a lot at that time.
So I bought the Rimmel London Provocalips Lip Colour in the shade 550 called ‘play with fire’
I was quite apprehensive about the colour because I had never gone so dark or bold. It was one of those colours I would see in store and think ‘Oooh pretty! But it wouldn’t suit me’
But I was pleasantly surprised with the way I looked with it on.
 The product itself was a good quality product for a drugstore item, CRAZY PIGMENTATION! But that; seems to be common in a lot of the new lip products coming out.
And although I don’t wear it for long enough to see if it would last all day, I would say that the staying power is pretty good!
However, the problem with these long lasting lip stuff is that it dries out your lips, it may not smear, but it does dry out your lips. 
So you’d think that outing a little balm on them would help, but then once you put any moisturising product on your lips it will start to rub off on places and smear.
So it’s a choice between dry lips that don’t smear or moisturised lips that do.
Now, this product is double ended with a balm on the other side. But I don’t use that much because I’m not huge on glossy lips and it does get awfully messy.




I think what I'm trying to say that in conclusion, this is an overall great product and even though it’s only been worn a couple of times (usually in the evening) it’s gotten me quite a few compliments and I enjoyed experimenting with it but  the whole concept of these highly pigmented formulas needs to be improved.
Which I would gladly do as a dream job in the future. (It legit is my dream job to make new makeup formulas)
Question of the day:
What is your opinion on these sorts of products? Love them or hate them?
