Washing your makeup brushes

Hey guys, 

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, things have been soo hectic! 

Anyway, it got to the time that I needed to clean my makeup brushes, I try to do it once a week/every two weeks. So I thought I'd show you how I do it!

I have a few real techniques brushes and have always struggled to clean them properly, however recently I was told to you olive oil to remove the product! It works wonders!! 

First of all, I roll the ends of a towel inwards so you can rest your brushes on an angle to drain the water out of the barrel. 

I then fill two small cups with olive oil and fairy liquid (I always pick my favourite scent so my brushes smell fresh). I then put on my marigold gloves so I don't get wrinkles on my fingers (as I've always called them, fairies;)) 

I then fill a large bowel full of warm water to rinse the brushes off in, which you must change when you feel adequate. 

I would dip the dirty brush in the oil, swirl it round in my hand while rinsing it in the water untill the liquid draining from the brush is clear-ish, I then do the same in the fairy liquid! Finally I then squeeze as much water from the brush as I can, make sure the bristles are in the right shape and place them on the towel. Here are pictures of how I clean my makeup brushes, I hope this helps you with new tips! 

Will try and post again soon! 

Untill then,

MEGA EFFECTS

Hey guys, 

Sorry I haven't posted recently, everything's been so hectic with college and keeping up with it all is so difficult, much harder than I anticipated. It's so nice to find some time out to write in my own little bubble, to you guys reading! 

So I recently ordered an AVON mascara that I've heard mixed reviews on. It's the new mega effects that has recently been brought out.

Now some people hate it and some people love it. Personally I think it's amazing, I enjoy using it so much and it is probably very close to being my number one favourite mascara which says a lot! Because of its unique wand, not being the traditional, it means you can coat every lash without fail. It is quite a 'wet' mascara and so I find you have to put a second coat on once the first goes tacky! It's such a brilliant product and I couldn't recommend it any more. 

Thanks for tuning in guys!!

I discovered something

Hey guys, 

Everything's been getting so busy with college, I spend weekdays there and usually every evening is spent revising what I've done or doing homework! I find there's little time do do simple tasks like keep on top of the tidiness of my room and make something nice to eat if no one else is home as my mum works alot. 

I found this new invention (kinda), I know other people have done it before but I was peckish and wanted something delicious! The outcome was this...

I grilled asparagus in a teaspoon of oil for approximately 5-10 minutes. When they started to go brown I squeezed half a lemon over them in the pan untill it stopped sizzling, when I then sprinkled a few pinches of oregano over them. Once they weren't crunchy anymore I took them off the heat and wrapped them in Parma ham!!! 

DELICIOUS! I would recommend this highly it was so quick and easy, and I also found it to be filling!

The best of Starbucks

Hey guys, 

So after being at college for a week now, I finally made the plunge to pop into Starbucks (as it is so busy at lunch time). When walking through the door I could see on the board their Autumn menu has switched round and my FAVOURITE drink is back on the menu!!! The pumpkin spice latte, it is to die for. So warming on a cold but sunny day like today, the spices work perfectly with the coffee and pumpkin. Pumpkin is my favourite, YUM! Especially pumpkin pie, my favourite part of the Halloween time that's approaching!! I am very excited! 

Starbucks makes me so happy, I get very carried away, and as I was queing I noticed an interesting pot of what looked like yoghurt with fruit on top! IT LOOKED DELICOUS! I had to have it. So I did. 

It was Greek yoghurt, with oats, apple and lots of berries like cranberries blueberries, also pomegranate and pumpkin seeds!! My new found food favourite find!!! What a tongue twister? haha. 

I would recommend this to anyone, especially as the environment is busy but relaxing too, I love going there to drink, eat and work in my free periods or lunch. 

I hope this inspires you to go to lunch at Starbucks or to try something new there!

A pop of colour

Hey guys, 

So after recently starting college I've realised how 'bland' my wardrobe is and the variety of colour is definitely lacking. I've always been a fan of having a pop of colour to 'jazz' up an outfit. So I decided to dig out my blazers. I'm a girl that likes to wear blouses, shirts and a blazer, for me I only wear tshirts on lazy days as they don't suit me and make me look slobby. 

My blazers were always a staple to any outfit of mine. When I realised that they were dirty I sent them to the dry cleaners as I've made the mistake of washing them at home before. It was quite expensive but I couldn't wait to be able to wear them again. 

Having a good variety of colour can brighten up an outfit and make a big change whether to make it more smart, dressy, pretty, elegant, or colourful.  

I would recommend using blazers or jackets to change up an outfit to anyone who doesn't have the confidence to yet experiment with bright colours! 

Here's my few blazers that I own, you can find them in so many colours now so start with maybe white and then you can work your way to more outgoing colours like I did. In the mean time don't forget to check out my YouTube video http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B8yiELP54Zg

Tresemme keratin beautiful oil review

Hey guys, 

Haven't posted in a while, started college this week and it's all been so full on. Sometimes it's nice to just sit and write and have a bit of time away from the outside world. 

After doing my first YouTube video on my August favourites...

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B8yiELP54Zg 

I decided to write a review on a new found hair product.

Since I have died my hair blonde, it has been so dry and very brittle, I've used all different oils but I've found this to be solving the problem. 

This is not a product that is an instant problem solver, I find that it's working overtime. It's a nice consistency, it isn't too oily, neither too 'gloopy'. It works wonders on my hair, and the day after I've used it I can really tell the difference, 

However my main issue with this product is that it leaves your hands very sticky and also if you have long hair, and it touches your chest while it's recently been applied to your hair, that will also be left sticky.

Overall, it's a good product that leaves your hair in good condition, silky, shiny and smooth! This could very nearly be a girls best friend if it wasn't so sticky when it dried on your skin!

Anyway thanks for taking time out to read this. I hope this either persuades you to buy it or if you don't like having sticky hand like me, will allow you to think twice. It's a love hate relationship with this hair serum, I love what it does to my hair but not how it leaves my hands. 

Will hopefully write again soon, 

Untill then,

Bag essentials

Hiyaa, 

So tomorrow I start college. I've spent the last few days getting everything prepared and ready so to make sure I don't panick on the day that I've forgotten something. 

Now aswell as stationary and the typical items that you would take to college or school, I've packed little bags full of essentials. 

This pretty little purse, I got free when I brought Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream from the perfume shop! It's a handy little size for what I have put in it. This one I have put in items needed in an 'emergency' scenario. I've included in it:

Tissues, wet wipes, plasters, paracetamol, mints, mini perfum (mac turquatic and daisy dream), typical female sanitary 'stuff', mini deodorant and a card with phone numbers I may need if something were to happen i.e mums, dads and Sams. 

In this next little purse which is actually a pencil case is my 'beauty' items. I got this because I love love love flamingos. And it was only a pound from Wilkinsons!! In it I've included...

Mini foundation sample, powder, concealer, pencil eyeliner, liquid eyeliner, mini eyelash glue, lipbalm, nail file, nail varnish remover pads, bobby pins and a hair band just incase!  

I will probably come across more items to include in the future and I will keep you updated on them but I hope this helps a few of you to know what to include in your bag when packing it for school college or even a day to day basis! 

Good luck to any of you starting college or school or going back to work!!

I'll write again soon, but untill then...
