Tip Of the Month - Tweezing Your Eyebrows

Hey everyone,

yup it's , 'Tip Of the Month' this months beauty tip is on Tweezing yo brows! and how to deal with the after pain.

• Plucking your eyebrows right after you have showered will be much less painful therefore is the best  time to pluck your eyebrows
• Do not tweeze one eyebrow completely then do the other, you are less likely to  achieve similar brows.
• Try dabbing your eyebrows with numbing cream, if you don't have a high tolerance for pain
• to reduce swelling and redness you can try applying ice to the area
• Apply lotion to the skin around your eyebrows to soothe the pain and redness.



L.A Colors Metallic Eyeshadow Unforgettable Review

 

Like my hearts? if you can see them

 

Hey girlies,

 

I've finally motivated myself to get this review done that I mentioned I would do in my latest Haul (if you haven't seen it and would like to click here)

 

I purchased this palette from Beauty Base it cost me 99p to be honest the real reason I bought this palette was because truly I wanted to build my palette collection as bad as it sounds that's the real reason.

 I absolutely love this palette I love the colours and it's SO pigmented, the first time I wore it I had to wipe some off because it was just too much, that's how pigmented it is.

 



This palette is a basically a neutral palette which I always tend to go for because I just prefer it and not too comfortable with bold colours still experimenting :)

Autumn/Winter must haves

Hey everyone :)

 

I just wanted to share with you a few clothing items that I think are just must haves for this up coming Autumn/Winter.

 

 

 

 

Having a big winter coat is definitely essential for Autumn/Winter it looks great with whatever your wearing during the season and keeps you so warm and comfortable

 

 

 

 

 

 

Long boots are a definitely must have for this up coming season as they are suitable for all kinds of bad weather and really tie an outfit together

 

 Fur gilet, I personally think that a fur gilet is more suitable for Autumn than winter cause it wouldn't really keep you warm in winter unless your wearing a big coat or something underneath but that might just end up looking weird. But wearing a leather jacket underneath would look really good.

 

 

 

Oversized jumper are a definitely must have because their so useful you can layer up as much as you want underneath and it so easy to style, with like a pair of leggings and long boots or jeans and converses.

 

 

 Boyfriend Jeans are so essential for this upcoming season because you can also layer up underneath them with tights or leggings there also very fashionable and can look really stylish with the right accessories.

 

 

I don't necessarily think Uggs are essential for this Autumn/Winter especially when it's raining cause your feet will get soaked but they do keep your feet super warm so I would advise people to wear them in the dry weather, also they are really casual so you can put them on any time.

 

So that's my must haves for this upcoming season, I hope I've given you a few wardrobe ideas and helped prepare you for this season! :)

How I balance out school and blogging

Hey everyone! :)

 

I just wanted to give you a rough idea on how I manage to continuously blog and keep up with my school work, im also going to give you some tips on how to not stress over trying to balance out the two.

 

My routine for the week is to go to school from Monday to Friday obviously and just concentrate on school and complete homework, revision, etc..

And then on the weekend I'll try and blog as much as possible and get lots of post scheduled so during the week they'll just be going up.

 

Tips

 

• do as many post as possible on the weekend
• do homework early will give you more time to chill that way you can join chats on twitter (#fbloggers, #bbloggers, #fblchat)
• spread post out evenly during the week
• make note of any new post ideas you come up with over the weekdays so you will have something to post about on the weekend

L.A. Colors Lip liner review

 

Hey everyone :)

As promised in my latest haul (if you haven't seen that and want to check it out click here) I said I would do a review on all make up products so to start I decided to let you lot know how I feel about this lip liner.



 

 

 

I purchased this matte

 lip liner from Beauty Base in Westfield Stratford for 99p its by L.A.Colors and the colour is called 'Smooth Plum'. I bought this lip liner cause I thought it was very ideal for the upcoming season Autumn also cause I've been wanting a purpley colour for some time now.

 

 

 

I prefer to wear this lip liner as a lipstick cause I really like the darkness of it, sorry it doesn't look that dark in the picture. This lip liner is quite pigmented and the more you put the darker it will come up it has a nice texture and doesn't really have a scent to it. 

 

Before I put on this lip liner I previously had on Vaseline but I didn't put anything on after I applied the liner. I like this lip liner because it keeps your lips really moisturized, it also last for a long time and doesn't rub off as soon as you drink or like touch your lips.

 

Look out for my next review :)



Tip Of The Month - Healthy Nails

 

 

Hey everyone :)

 

Yes, it's that time of the month again where I'm going to share with you a beauty tip.

This months 'Tip Of The Month' is healthy nails and to achieve long, healthy, strong nails you need to:

• Keep your nails clean
• File your nails regularly and when doing so file in one direction
• When painting your nails always do a undercoat with a very light colour to prevent staining your nails
• Keep your hand and nails moisturized
• Prevent keeping your hands in hot water for too long as it makes your nails really soft which means they are more likely to break
