Night Out Berry Lip

 
 


My day to day make up is pretty neutral, I like to have a subtle, fresh, clean look but when it comes to a night out with the girls out comes the colour and a more vamp look.

 I love a bold lip for evening it instantly glams up a look here is how I got this subtle smokey eye and berry lip.

make up used:

Foundation: No7 stay perfect in calico £10.99 for once I have a slight tan so could use this foundation ( happy dance)
Mascara: Boots natural collection build long lash £1.99 ( THE BEST MASCARA IVE EVER USED)
    Highlighter: Soap and Glory luminizing radiance face powder
    Chubby stick: Collection 3 vintage rose
    Eye shadow: makeup revolution redemption palette iconic 2  I've numbered 1- 3 in order of use
    Eyebrow pencil: Rimmel light brown
    Concealer: collection 1 fair
    Blush: Estee Lauder pink kiss
lipstick: collection gothic glam 3 revenge
   shimmer brick: 17
   







How I created this look

  1,   I moisturised, then apply my foundation this one is great as its build able, I only use 2 pumps max as I like my skin to show through.

2, I swept the soap and glory luminizing face powder over my cheeks and then to add a more shimmer look I added the shimmer brick by 17.

3, I applied a touch of my Estee Lauder pink kiss to the apples of my cheeks and swept it to the tops of my cheeks.

4, I applied my eye shadow I used shadow one all over my lid up to the brow of my eyebrow and in the tear duct area to brighten my inner eyes, two I used on the outer corner of my eye bringing it half way into the crease of my eyelid and bringing it half way along my bottom lashes blending to make sure there's no harsh lines adding the third colour on the outer corner to give more depth..

5 and 6 I applied two coat of mascara to the top and bottom lashed and applied my gothic glam lipstick to finish the look.

Diet Pills

There was a heart breaking story of a beautiful young woman Ella Parry 21 who sadly passed away after taking diet pills she bought on line.

Ella had battled with an eating disorder, though she was a healthy weight the illness made her strive to lose more a decision that she deeply regretted.

The diet pills Ella bought had DNP in a, drug that shouldn't be consumed, Ella took 8 pills soon realising that she had made a big mistake. she sacred herself worried what she had done she went to hospital where she found out that the pills were shutting down her body. she sent a finale text to her family and friends saying she had done a stupid thing and she was sorry she new they were going to kill her.

With in hours Ella was dead, a vibrant young woman no longer living because of her want to be slimmer. we have this pressure to be skinny, to be perfect being skinny isn't worth losing your life your family and friends having to say good bye to you and try and live a life without you.

We all want to look our best, be the best version of ourselves we can be we try fad diets, pills that say they will take the fat away and try the new craze fitness trend that will have us looking like our idol celebrity.

I have previously talked about my struggles with an eating disorder, in the past trying so many things to be slim. I can tell you the old saying "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" is a LIE.

I would go to bed wondering if I would wake up the next day, I was always an active person but I couldn't do the basic everyday things like go to college with the lack of energy. I always thought if only I was a few pounds lighter my life would be better, I would be happy but it doesn't work like that.

If your only ever worried about your weight and how you look you cant enjoy life, your putting everything on hold until your at that IDEAL WEIGHT that you probably could never be as its unrealistic.

Its such a lonely life wanting to be skinny, you shouldn't spend your life worrying what the scales say, it doesn't matter what diet you do to be skinny its not some think you can sustain.

You shouldn't want to be skinny, don't compare your body to celebrity's we all have different shaped bodies and come in different sizes, to be the best you you can be and sustain it is to eat healthy don't skip meals eat 3 healthy meals a day if you skip meals your body holds onto fat as it doesn't no when its going to get food again.

Your body needs food to function, its needs good healthy fuel to do the basic of tasks treat it with respect you only have one body if you treat it kindly it will do all the things you want it to do go travelling, play sports e the amazing you you want to be your body is your friend not your enemy.

Mini Manchester Haul


After reading Lucy in the sky a month or so ago and fell for Paige Toon's writing style, I had to go and buy some more of her books I cant wait to turn the pages of these:)  these are from water stones

if you looked in my wardrobe you would notice I love a good basic top, when  I saw this top in H+M for£7.99 I was drawn to the colour, its a beautiful emerald green the perfect basic top to pair with     jeans and a cozie knit in Autumn Winter yes I just mentions A/W its just around the corner.
When it has come to jeans I have always been a skinny low rise woman, after being persuaded to try high waisted skinnies I'm now converted these are from Newlook £22.99 they are so comfortable hug your body and are a bargain the only thing I would say is that the colour comes out a lot in the wash

Lastly I bought this blouse from Primark for £10, it is it a two layer top navy on the top white on the bottom and its lower at the back perfect for me as it goes past my bottom. I'll pair this this with the above skinnies, leather jacket and ankle boots.

Manchester Weekend Away Seeing Bette Midler

 
My childhood dream came true over the weekend, I finally got to see Bette Midler in concert but it was more than a concert. she is a true performer giving a comedic element to her show with her amazing voice singing her old classics wind beneath my wings and re made songs like TLC chasing water falls it was an epic two hours. I have been to many concerts and I have never been seen someone be on stage that long full of energy the whole way through it will stay with me forever.

 
 


 Bette had a great understanding of social media and every ones fascination with posting nude pics of them selves she made a lot of rude jokes that had us all belly laughing
 


 hocus pocus will forever be one of my favourite movies so i was over the moon when she did the song from the film I'm so excited for the sequal to come out.
