Shorts in the Snow!?

No, this post isnt a joke it is real fashion trend for winter that i love so much!

Right okay so the lighting isnt good but you get the basic idea?

I took inspriration from Olivia Palermo and insted of tights i used legging because there warmer. It is a big trend coming in and is worn by loads of fashion forward gals(Lauren Condrad, Kate Bosworth and Rachel Bilson)! So i recomend you try it out BEFORE everyone else does ;)

TIP Wear this look with confidence, red lippy and some kohl liner!

Hope you try!

Review: Batiste Coloured Dry Shampoo

Why This One?
It is unique because it is coloured and it is very cheap!

How Does It Work?
It is a powder that soaks up the oil on your hair and scalp

It smell good and soo easy to use! Just spray onto your roots, wait three minutes then brush out with your fingers and hey presto volume and non greasy hair!

hope this helps? x

My Very Used Favourite Palette!

This is my old palette click here to buy. It has been used so much that the lid snapped off but i still use it ^-^. As you can see it lasts very well and i havent hit pan on any of them. I numbered them on the picture so that when I use them in a blog and i refer to a certain colour i can just refer to a number and link you to this page. The reds look odd but the are very usable and aren't too bright!

Hope this helps!

Nail Art Ideas!!

The past few day I've been lovin' nail art! Do you want a tutorial?!!
I'm gonna do one anyways :) X

10 Original Beauty Tips

1, To give them more volume apply powder to you lashes then put on mascara. (black is the est choice) Put it on with a eye shadow brush but make sure there is no fall out!

2. For brunettes! If your bronzer is crushed/broken apply it to oily hair and it soaks up the oil! You can also just crush a bronzer you dislike it. Don't worry about the shimmer it can look really good.

3. If you have ran out of nail polish remover apply a coat then wipe off. It removes all your old polish leaving you with clean nails. (clear works best but any will do!)

4. To get natural looking waves overnight and heat free just plait your hair (it must be dry!). Put some mouse to the braids (the less braids the looser it will look!) to keep the style. When you wake up brush through gently with comb add hairspray and mouse as desired.

5. Tired eyes? Tea spoons sat in cold water (for 5-10 mins) will refresh your eyes.

6. To get a cool original colour or just a normal colour to last all day use this trick! Apply lip balm or lipstick very close to desired colour then put on ... eye shadow! Sounds CRAZY but it WORKS!!

7. To get naturally wavy hair straighter brush through while it is wet. Then get any straitening cream (they all work the same) onto your finger tip and brush your fingers through your hair(below your ear). Smooth down unruly hairs with your palms. Then apply hair gloss to your ends and if desired mouse to roots and sleep! When you wake up it will be noticeably different and shiny.

8. Use acetone to remove nail polish or nail polish remover with Acetone. The remove nail polish faster.

9. Spray perfume on your hair when it it 60% dry any it will give you beautiful smelling hair without giving you loads of fly aways.

10. Curl the ends of you hair into your face it really frames it!

Hope it helps. I made them as original as possible in fact i discover all these myself!!

SkinSmart: My Routine!

Well my skin has been playing up recently so I changed my routine a little! Ive been using Neutrogena cleansing products to keep my skin in check. In the morning when i just wake up i use Visibly Clear Spot Stress Control™ Daily Scrub on my skin. First I apply it and exfoliate with it then i leave it on for 30 seconda then I rinse of gently with water. To keep my skin hydrated and matte i use Asda's Mattifying moisturister for young skin. In the evening i like to use Neutrogena Visibly Clear® Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash in conjuction with skinovia Q10 day cream. It is odd to wear a day cream at night but i find the day cream too moisturising for the day ut it is perfect for night for me. After doing this just once my skin definitly looked better and over a week my blackhead had almost completly cleared and my spot were visibly reduced so if you have sking that plays up alot try this out and tell me if it worked for you! (I have combination skin)

This month my favourite top is a Hoi Polloi Rockettes Sequin Print Tee

My favourite make up look is just mascara and eyeliner sumged a little with a flick and a baby pink lip.

My favourite song at the moment in Katy on a Mission by Katy B. ( A little old but i still <3>

Look: Naturally Polished

Today was quite casual but i took time on my hair and make up because i had time. As you can see i went for natural eye make up and a pretty soft pink lip.


Products Used
I used my old colour workshop palette but you just need a pink/champagne colour, a bronze colour and a gold.
Mascara, my choice was Avon super shock mascara. Good liquid or gel eyeliner. I used my mascara with an eyeliner brush.
A bronzer, i used Wet 'N' Wild's mega glow in Catwalk pink.
Pretty pink lip colour, i got mines in a no.17 lip palette and a sheer lip gloss, i have I've got Rimmels royal jelly in Moreish 301 ( it smells and tastes yummy)
As for foundation i used maybilline's Dream Satin Liquid on my forehead and nose are (just to cover spots and large pores).



How to
1. Put on foundation where is is needed. then dust with powder.
2.Apply the pink champagne colour all over the lid.
3. Pick up the bronze colour with a good brush and apply in the crease area.
4. Using a applicator eye shadow sponge (ones you get in palettes or very cheaply in pound shops)pick up the gold and apply in in the inner corner of your eye.
5. Then put on you eyeliner as desired, I decided on winged.
6. Using a lip brush put on a pink lip colour then apply a clear or sheer pink gloss.
7. Brush bronzer all over you face. And your done.

August Lovelys!

This month I've favored more neutral eyes. So Ive loved Max Factor Earth Spirits Inca Bronze, Max Factor Earth Spirits Pale Pebble. For eyeliner instead of the usual Blackest
Black eyeliner I've went for some thing different! Rimmel London's twistable EXAGGERATE full colour eye definer in ocean and aubergine and at the end it has a little pull out sharpener! For my mascara I've wore Avon Super Shock in black! It defines curls and volumizes in one go! I've got limeted edition packaging which is super cute!

On to lips for balm H&M's hello kitty balm is great if a little bit sticky. For my gloss Rimmel London's Royal Jelly in 301 Moreish.


For face I love Natural Collections power and Rimmel's Lasting Finish Mineral powder. Blusher by natural Collection it so cute Peach Melba is mine!!

On my nails I've loved W7's polish in Purple Paradice and I just bought a nail art kit by beauty nation for only one pound!!

On my hair I daily use alberto balsam shampoo and conditioner in Juicy Green Apple, Studio Silk&Gloss fixing mouse and Asda Essential care smooth&control cream. I use VO5 HOT OIL Deep Nourishing ELIXIR once every two week to keep it conditioned and shinny.

Love You All

School File: Make up

Since I've been back at school ive had a few comliments on my make up to i decided to do a blog on how i achieve it!
First i put on a mattifing moisturiser then you should put on foundation/powder, I don't use any though. Then blush (all products listed below). You will need two eye shadows one, one shade darker than your skin tone and one a bronze colour. If you are wearing it all day use a primer. With the more natural eye shadow colour apply to all you lid then press the bronze on your crease in a V shape. With a good brush, blend it all through. Mascara-wize I used a mascara I got with Company magizine. Then i put eye liner on my waterling and tightline and the im done!

School File: Blog!

Ahmm so is anyone looking forward to going back to school? I am which is why all my post have been about school. I getting a new D2 jacket (hopefully) for school (Called festival parka) and am using the shoes I bought last year but the were too big so now i can wear them! As you know i have to wear a uniform so i have a tiny wardrobe like 5 pairs of jeans 15 t-shirts 4 dresses and 7 pairs of shoes ect. but i love d2 i have like all their t-shirts! This was ment to be aout school but turned to a d2 rant.

School File: Spice up a Uniform

If like me you have to wear a uniform to school read on for tips to look like an individual.

Most schools let you wear your own jackets so that gives you a huge space for individual style! Bright jacket are always cool but my preference is plain black with brooches and pins. Others make you wear blazers but they are really nice if you roll up the sleeves and add pins!

Almost every school allow you to buy shoes. Black shoes are most suitable but you can choose from loads of styles and materials! I like plain leather and patent pumps with cute detailing.

Shirt are usually in specific colours but you can choose tailored (goes well with blazers and tight jackets) or baggy. Ties are required in my school and in most others. Big loose knot are nice (but banned in my school) but i wear small tight knots.

Something else which is impossible to improve (at my school) is skirts! Some school just require a certain colour which is perfect and gives you a lot of choice.

Jewellery is also great and shows off your own personal sense of style! chunky bracelets are cool but i like charm bracelets.

Hope you found this help full

School File: Hair

Hair is very important because it is the first thing people see so here a some tips.

A cute hair style is the pony with a parting. Side or middle!

Another is a high pony with no parting. Backcomb for some extra omph!

A side pony doesnt have to look childish everyone from carrie underwood to Eva Longoria aere rocking this look!

A big chunky side braid is so gorgous and easy just pull your hair to one side and braid it!

A small braid across you head (like a hairband) is super cute!!

Messy buns are chic and perfect for after gym class!

Hair bands look good on any hair style h&m and Primark are good for them!

Of course you can wear it down (straight or curly) with some clips or a hair band

Hope it gave to some good pointers!

School File: Get Prepared!

I don't know how it is in America but in Scotland we are required to buy pens, pencils and calculators. In my bag i have binder with a small pencil case with some pens, pencils, rulers, rubber/erasers, sharpeners and highlighters, I also keep some transparent plastic folders for worksheet and jotters. I like to keep textbooks in coloured folders. In my school we get a free homework diary so we can keep up to date with homework assignments. I keep some crayola twistible crayons for social studies (Geography, Modern Studies and History) because the are help full for diagrams and posters. I have an extra pencil case in which I keep protractors, compasses ect.



Hope it wasn't too long and boring!
