My new foundation OBSESSION.

I honestly don't know how I ignored this foundation for so long.. As a Youtube viewer, so many beauty gurus raved about this foundation including ciaoobelllaxo and Lauren Curtis, but it was finally the beautiful Nicole Guerriero who convinced me to take the plunge and change to this foundation. And I am SO glad I did!! And if you are thinking of trying out this foundation here's a few reasons why you should..

1. If you watch Lauren Curtis on Youtube you will have heard her repeat this 3959042 times buuut it is so important, it has a really thin consistency! Its so nice to to have to scrape foundation across your face and not have that heavy feeling on your skin.

2. It gives you a good coverage! I never see the point of a foundation that just disappears into your skin, why put it on?!

3. It is long wearing. It looks better at the end of the day than when you started! Nuff said..

4. It has so many shades its crazy! Personally I wear W7 which is a yellow based shade, which I find really good because I tan and it matches my colour perfectly!

5. It is affordable! This foundation is usually around £9.99 which I think is quite reasonable! I can't justify foundations that cost about the same as a decent purchase in Topshop, that just doesn't work in my brain..

So if you are looking for a new foundation definitely try this one out! I love it.. I don't think I'll be changing my foundation for a long time now! I LOVE it!

Would You Rather Beauty TAG.

Hello lovelies! I thought I'd do something abit different today! I saw this tag on Imhereforever's blog! Here's the questions:

1.Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up or Nice hair and no make-up? Definitely messy hair! Usually by the time I've done my make up and got round to doing my hair, it's usually that way round anyway..

2.Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out? Shave my eyebrows!! My eyebrows are so blonde they may as well not be there *sigh and eyelashes are just my favourite thing..

3.Would you rather be forced to shop at only MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life? I think MAC, I could just never get bored of shopping there.

4.Would you rather wear lipgloss/lipliner look or 80's perm? Lipgloss/lipliner, I seriously doubt a perm would make me look anything less than a poodle.

5.Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush? Overdone blush, when I see foundation lines on anyone my hand twitches to sort it out for them (don't worry I haven't done that yet...)

6.Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public? Oh no. both things give me shivers. Buuuut I suppose biker shorts, at least people will think I was on my way to exercising.

7.Would you rather have a bad orange-y spray tan or really weird tan lines that can't be covered? It depends on what you meant by weird.. if it was like random lines on your skin, I think I'd go for a bad orange-y spray tan, I've already had worse tan disasters..

8.Would you rather have a bad haircut or bad hair colour? Colour, now that everyone is having all sorts of colours in their hair I don't think many colours could look unintentional. And I have a complex about anyone but my hair dresser cutting my hair..

9.Would you rather have YouTube or twitter taken away forever? Twitter, Youtube has taught me to do everything!

10. Would you rather give up using makeup brushes or mascara? Makeup brushes, Mascara I think makes such a difference to your make up, it's my favourite item of makeup.

I really loved this tag! And reading everyone's answers to it! Let me know if you've done the tag and link it to me :)

Frozen Inspired Makeup Look.

Today I wanted to try out a different make up look and I couldn't ignore the amount of blues I had in eye shadow and eyeliner! I used a gorgeous neon blue eyeliner for under the eyes and over my black eyeliner that was from no 7. 

I started with the idea of blue smokey eyes, and it evolved as I found more and more blue eyeliner! Here's some more photos of the look. :)

Unfortunately now I'll have to wait until Halloween to wear this make up look!

I love Mallorca..

Sometimes I really have no idea why I live in England.. Especially when I stepped off the plane from Mallorca into the pouring rain! A week in the sun really did not seem like long enough, I could definitely live here. 

We stayed near Calla D'or in a beautiful villa looking over the harbor at Porta Petro. I am now the biggest fan of Sangria, paella and boats. All week I seemed to do nothing but eat, swim and read.. it was just like heaven! 

So I thought I'd show you some outfit essentials that I loved having with me on holiday!

First of all I loved this grey cotton maxi skirt from Primark, it had slits at the bottom of both the legs and it was just so versatile with loads of different tops!

My next essential was this stripey beach bag that I took everywhere with me! I got it from Primark a year ago and it was so good to chuck all my stuff in to go to the beach, and if I remember correctly it was five pounds, bargain!

Now here's some photos of the rest of the holiday!

 This was the first beach we went to in Cala D'or

A beautiful beach we went to on our last day!

Scrunchie Fever.

Recently I went on a shopping trip to find some nice summer clothes. And as usual, I got distracted by accessories. My main distraction was the scrunchies in urban outfitters! They were so CUTE. How have I never noticed them before?! 

I did spend about three hours in there deciding which one to try to see if they suited me, so I went with this little floral one. I do wish I had got so much more , but I will be back there to get a suitcase full of them.. 

Here's a few more I loved from Urban Outfitters ( I will have them all... sigh..)

 I feel like scrunchies look good with so many different outfits and can brighten up a plain top with a burst of colour! I could totally see any of these scrunchies with some mom jeans and a high neck jumper or a plain cami and some denim shorts! Such a nice accessory for summer! Ooooohh. Lovely. 

I'm hoping my next shopping trip will be more successful, but I definitely have found my new obsession! These scrunchies are around £3.99 in Urban Outfitters, but there are some I have seen in New Look too that are a little cheaper (I love a good bargain)!

Thanks for reading! :)

Cherish Photoshoot.

This week, I had a photo shoot for the organisation I intern with to promote their women's conference for next year. I have to admit I was a little shocked to be asked, I had never been asked for anything like this in my life! I choked out a small 'yes, yes of course' to the girl on the phone (maybe I should have played it a bit cooler) but I was a little past cool by this point. 

The conference is run by the Life Church in Bradford, and is a massive deal for women all over the country, I had heard the name of it even before moving to Bradford, so it must have been good if word about it it had reached the back and beyond of Cumbria! So to me, the promotion shoot which would appear in the brochure of Cherish 2014 and on the big screen as a promo video was a HUGE deal. 

I got to hair and makeup at 8 am in the morning and then shooting started at half 1, by the time I was in front of the camera I was a nervous wreck, I know a lot of girls (including myself) have dreamed about being a model or actor when they were younger, but I can honestly say there is nothing more frightening than a camera lens and a blank white screen behind you. Although feeling and probably looking like a rabbit in headlights, the photographer made me feel really at ease, I had a cap on which they found for me, which was good so I had something to focus my attention on, but it was so strange! I have never been cool enough to wear caps?! 

After the photo shoot I felt so so accomplished, something I thought I would never in a million years want to do never mind be asked to, I did! So please bear in mind, say yes to every opportunity you have, its amazing the freedom it brings you to try new things. So after finishing this blog post, I'm off to try some new things! Here's some photos from the make up artist at the shoot. 

This is my beautiful makeup artist Liv, who was phenomenal, she is one of my fabulous friends and is so so talented, my gorgeous girl!

The conference is in two weeks and is held at Leeds First Direct Area this year! It is going to be a fabulous event for women and all the information you need is here:

I would love to see you there!

Glorious Gingham.

One of my favourite fashion trends at the minute for spring is Gingham. Can you simply get more british? Whenever I see it I want to just get my china cup and cucumber sandwiches out! It is simply such a beautiful and dainty pattern that looks fantastic on any item of clothing. Even if you're not from Britain, just embrace your inner posh and go get yourself some gingham. I feel like it just looks so classic and spring like, and the usual colours you find gingham in are pastels, which is also lovely for spring. I have picked out a few of my favourite highstreet gingham pieces for you here.

Boohoo Dress

Missguided Dress

Boohoo Shirt

Missguided Jumper

Topshop Dress 

Missguided Leggings

Motel Rocks Dress

I hope you like these gingham pieces and please let me know if there's any that you like that I haven't seen!

Thank you for reading :)
