When Brothers Try to Cheer You Up

 

Hey Guys! Quick little post today just to share with you something my brother said to me which I thought you would all get a giggle out of. We all hate that saying "There plenty more fish in the sea" so my brother's take on this old saying was to make it slightly inappropriate. Still I had a good giggle and managed to see the funny side of a bad situation.

My Travel Makeup Bag

Hey Guys! Diving on in today with a "whats in my travel makeup bag" post. Now I bet you're all wondering why do this post today of all days? Well even if you weren't you're going to find out! I'm taking a wee trip down to London with some class mates (only 8 of us) for 4 days and I'm so excited that even typing this is making me slightly hyper. Now hopefully I shall have some other London related posts but we all know whenever I say these things they never happen. Anyways here you go guys, what I take makeup wise on a trip.

 I absolutely love this makeup bag its doesn't look that big but you can fit so much beauty junk in it, plus it was a complete bargain at £3 from Primark.

 

 

This is all the base makeup that I take with me, just 5 products which I don't think is that much (typical blogger attitude right lol). For foundation I take my Revlon Color Stay as it is great for any occasion whether its day wear or for a more full coverage evening wear. Again my Collection concealer has the same benefits so I also take that. The sleek contour kit and my Nars blusher also work together well and are quite diverse so look good in the evening or during the day. And lastly I take my favourite powder at the moment which is by soap and glory, you guys should see how badly I have hit pan on this beauty!

So eyes and eyebrows can basically be covered in one product which is the Naked 2 pallet, this thing is like to amazing for words its is absolute perfection! Sorry for the fan girl moment there but anyone who owns this will understand what I mean. And then I just have a cheap MUA clear mascara which isn't very clear anymore, its quite gross really, and a MAC paint pot which I use as an eye primer.

Lastly I have a Kate Moss lipstick by Rimmel in a darkish colour to wear in the evenings and to go along with that my favourite lip balm which is the mango one from Burt's Bees as well as the bubble gum lip scrub from Lush. The mascara I'm loving at the moment is doll'd up by Seventeen at Boots and I really do like this mascara it reminds me which a lot of the clump defy mascara by max factor (clump crusher by covergirl) but is like half the price. I also will take with my a good long wearing black eyeliner in this case 24/7 by Urban Decay and some eyelash curlers I'm not too fussy but the ones I currently have are just the Boots branded ones.

Need I Say More

 

Hey Guys! This honestly isn't a lazy post I promise. Anyways I was just scrolling through my newsfeed on Facebook and saw someone had liked this picture on Instagram, and I have to say I just love this. So hope you guys take some "inspiration" from it and I think it speaks enough for itself without me having to ramble on about it.

Inspirational Monday Post

I had this idea to start making up little "inspirational" posts that I could do every Monday for the foreseeable future about maybe something I personally have experience on and can give my personal opinion on.

This is a picture that I took one night when I decided to nip down to the beach on a whim and I still remember the churning feeling I got when I started to walk down the pier. I feel that a lot of times in life we can start to get like this.

Let me explain. There was no clear gain for me when I began to walk down the pier to be honest it just made my legs feel like jelly but as I got further down the pier I realised I would be able to get a really nice photo from it. Life can also be like this sometimes you feel you are getting no where with something but then realise that actually there is a purpose to it all and what originally started out looking like a dead end was really quite far from it.

Glitter Nails

Hey Guys so today I was really itching to go get my nails done but since I am visiting my brother I didn't really know any nail salons or prices. This meant I decided to hit Superdrug and see what I could find.

 

I love the glitter nail look which is in at the moment so when I spotted these nails I just could  not resist! They are the "Elegant Touch Glitter Twinkle Twinkle" in short and gold. They were also fairly cheap at £7.10 for 24 nails which is two separate applications and when you think of how much they would be at the salon it could come in at about £28+.

 

 

As you can see the nails also have red flecks in them which I think just adds to the overall beauty of the nails. the application was fast and easy, they feel comfortable on the nails. The only complaint I really have is I wish they came with actual nail glue rather than the sticky back tabs as I don't feel that they will keep the nails on for more than a few days at a time.

First Impression: Maybelline Color Tattoo 24h

 Hey Guys! Today I bring you a first impressions post... again. I really hope I'm not boring you guys with these posts. Anyways I know I'm a bit behind the times and have only just jumped on the "colour tattoo band wagon" but at least I got there eventually right?

 

I can't get over how adorable that packaging is!

 

 I thought I would be a bit more adventurous with my colour choice than I usually am and as much as I wanted to pick up 'on and on bronze' I decided that I would buy 'Metallic Pomegranate' and make this colour work for me.

 

The cute name

 

Because these have been out for a while I'm sure will have heard a million times how cute the packaging is and how well they blend out but I will verify it one more time they are pretty awesome. What I love most about these bad boys is that they can go on in a very sheer wash of colour or can be quite bold and make an impact. And I like having that choice.

 

Beautiful colour isn't it?

 

On to the colour well I think we can all agree its fabulous! It is a very vampy fall colour and I love it. It's a nice change to move away from the common neutrals and try something a bit more daring as well as it being very complementary on blue eyes. All in all I would say a successful purchase. What do you guys think?
