To 2015 and Beyond

Another 365 days has past and I think to myself what has been great this year?

Not much really, my highlight of the year was going on an amazing holiday with my best friend who is someone that everyone needs! We may annoy each other and have struggles but it makes us who we are. I think 2014 has been the year that I start to understand the struggles of adulthood and that life is hard!

2015 will be much more memorable!

Things for 2015

- Try new things

- Say 'yes' a lot more

- Try not to please everyone

- Spend more time with friends

- Learn to be more of a individual 

- Stay fit and healthy and stop eating crap! 

And one final thing .......

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Halloween | Costume Inspiration

Halloween is fast approaching and well you need to have an outfit planned out, whether you take your younger siblings trick or treating, or going to halloween party. This year I'm opting for a devils outfit. 5 different themes to have an idea of an outfit, I love them all. Make-up makes the outfit perfect, theres no need to buy one online.

Review | W7 In The Buff Palette

The Naked Palette is the most sold eyeshadow palette of all time. Many companies have tried and failed at bringing out a similar palette. Now W7 have brought out their own 'dupe' palette for Naked 2. I picked this palette up in my local store of Boyes (NE only) for £5 however it is also available here. I really like the design of this palette as it matches the theme of the Naked Palette. This palette has 4 matte colours and 8 metallic. I love each colour however there is some down points about the product on a whole. I think that 'Buff' the lightest colour isn't as pigmented as I would prefer as it doesn't show up as much. I also think this product has quite a bit of 'fall down' compared to other eyeshadows on the market. Overall with this product you get what you pay for but I would prefer to try a Naked 2 palette. 

Have you ever tried this product? Let me know below.

Organisation | Make-up Brush Storage

We use make-up brushes practically everyday. It's every girls daily tool to looking good. I may only have the basic few but at 14 that's all I think I need. As I only have a very small selection, I like to keep them handy and have it as a cute little decoration.

So basically all you will need is:

Rice

A Cute Mug of your choice

Make-up Brushes!

It's really simple, just pour rice into your mug 2/3 of the way and stick in your brushes!
I love this and find it such an easy DIY.

Review | Clinique Anti Blemish Clarifying Lotion

We all hate spots! Clinique are fabulous for bringing out new and useful products, especially for different skin needs. Currently my skin need is blemishes as you know I am a teenager! Teenagers are  more likely to get spots or blemishes for the following 2 reasons: 1. Hormonal changes that are happening in our bodies (Puberty) 2. Exam Stress! As of this year I have started my GSCE's and I must say I am feeling the pressure, I have so much coursework and homework to do (but I do keep organised). I am a regular user of number 2 clarifying lotion, however I have been finding that my skin has recently been coming up with blemishes. A few months back I received a really cute sample of the 'Anti Blemish' clarifying lotion, but only recently I have only started using it due to me having a few spots pop up! I would highly recommend this product as it drys out your spots, removing all redness and it finally disappears! This product is priced at £18.00 and is available (here) Let me know if you have ever used this product before.

New Collection | Nicole X for Missguided

Shamazing! Nicole Scherzinger has released her new collection with Missguided. I must say it's beautiful! The whole collection is perfect to look gorgeous, Nicole has designed some a amazing pieces to make a girl feel good about themselves. Above are just a few of my favourite items all are available (here)

Review | Daddy-O v.s Touch of Silver

I don't know about some of you but I don't wash my hair daily as I find it becomes so frizzy. The main reason for this is that you are washing out all of the natural oils that keep your hair strong and nourish. And probably that I can't be bothered with washing my hair everyday then letting it dry naturally! After I had came back of my holidays I had blonde ish hair from the lovely sun and lemon juice that I sprayed in everyday hoping it would turn it blonder. However the cold and less sunny days are making my hair fade into a mouse brown colour. I really want to keep my hair un-dyed for longer so that it doesn't go weird! I now turn to blonde hair shampoo, I do notice some difference in my hair as it's slightly lighter than it used to be. In todays post I'm going to be reviewing 2 products that do the same thing!

PRO:VOKE | Touch of Silver (200ml) £1.36 - I really like this shampoo as it's perfect for making sure I don't turn into a brunette. (I will eventually just slowing down that process) I may not use it daily but it's perfect for keeping my hair looking smooth and shiny. Also available is a stronger version however you can only use that twice a week as it's quite strong. I also love the price tag on this product as you get much more for a much cheaper price rather than Lush's version. The only downside to this product is that the smell isn't very strong! Overall rating 4/5

Lush | Daddy-O (100g) £5.50 - Oh My Goodness! The smell of this product just makes me want to eat it! Scents of Palma Violets are amazing in my hair. I always find that Lush products well smell lush! Scents of violet, fresh lime juice and seawater all make a perfect combination, I do truly wish that this was a body spray. Enough about the smell (you can tell I like it!), this product does practically the same thing as PRO:VOKE's with the same results as it (obviously apart from the scent). I would love this product to of had a conditioner to go with it, after I have used it all I apply is a plain conditioner, which no scent so I'm not mixing. One of the main downsides to this product is the price! £5.50 for a tiny bottle, however I must say you don't need much to get a decent lather. Overall Rating 4/5

So to conclude, I love both of these products as they both have positives and negatives!

Being Shortlisted for NE Blogger Awards 2014!

Guess What? I have been shortlisted for The North East Blogger Awards in 'Best Student Blog' category. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the email saying 'Congratulations' it was just surreal as I have only been blogging since May this year. As the youngest on any of the shortlist, I was pretty amazed a 14 year old could be! 

Wishlist | October

I can't believe it's October already, how fast has September gone? Halloween is at the end of this month so expect a few posts about it! The items above are all that I have spotted on Polyvore and collected together so you can see what I have on my wishlist. As you can see I am a big fan of light nudes and pink tones, it may be autumn but I love those colours, personally they make me feel elegant and it does bring my girly side out!

There are 9 items in my October wishlist, below I will explain why I have been lusting over these items:

Grey Cropped Jumper | Mango | £18 - Grey is the perfect colour to match with practically any colour at all. As it's cropped it's ideal to layer and wear a plain and simple shirt or a patterned one. Easy to pair with skinny jeans and ankle boots.

Daisy Dream (100ml) | Marc Jacobs | £62.55 - I have been lusting over this fragrance ever since it hit the high street, however it was at the bottom of my fragrance buying list. It's now October and this fragrance will be absolutely perfect for winter. (It's even on my Christmas list!) The bottle design is so pretty too!

'All Natural' Lipgloss | elf | £1.85 - Light pink lip gloss that isn't to pigmented always finishes off my basic make-up look. Currently I'm using Barry M, however I am sadly running out! Elf has never really been a make-up brand that I have tried, it seems pretty good on price and this shade is gorgeous.

K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick 'Bitch Perfect' | Charlotte Tilbury | £20 - Lipstick does really appeal to me and my make-up collection, statement lips don't look great on me either. I normally just opt for a layer of nude lipgloss. But this Charlotte Tilbury lipstick has made me think 'I might give this a go' as it doesn't seem to be that bright and contrasting. However £20 is a large sum of money just to spent on a lipstick!

Crochet Pink Dress | Look Book Store | £21 - It may be getting colder outside but this dress is so cute and may show that last bit of tan I have left from my holidays! I could easily wear this for a meal out or if I'm going shopping in a shopping centre. Tulle is so pretty and flattering on girls no matter what shape or size.

Pink Doughnut Print iPhone Case | New Look | £4.99 - As you may or may not know, New Look have launched a new collection of clutch bags in the shape of food! After people went crazy for the fruit segment ones. I love this cute and colourful phone case that is perfect as a little something to remind you of food! Mmm ... and for £4.99 it's a bargain!

Soft Kimono Blazer | New Look | £10 - A basic black blazer has to be a staple in my wardrobe, I find at this time of year when it is starting to get a little chillier, I can simply pop it on just to cover me up.   A nude blazer is perfect for smartening up a casual outfit or wearing as a cover up for a special occasion. I think this is a must buy for this season.

Black Block Heel Chelsea Boots | New Look | £25 - Winter means cold days and numb toes, a thick pair of socks and theses beauties and your sorted. Black Chelsea boots will go with any winter outfits, defiantly another staple for the A/W season!

4 Pack Pink Stone Rings | New Look | £5 - Generally I don't tend to really wear rings as well, I have quite slim fingers meaning some don't fit or are quite loose. I the selection of the 4 rings, which you can mix and match to suit you and your outfit. Let's hope these will fit!

I hope you enjoyed reading my wishlist!
