Big Brows.....

Recently walking around town or going to school I have saw people with ridiculous massive brows however sometimes I have saw people with lovely filled in brows! I have just recently started filling in my brows as I didn't need it before, I have a lovely shaped eyebrow and have never really 'showed' them off as much so this post is just what I use and how my eyebrows turn out!

My Brow Kit
Speed Brow-Benefit
Brow Shaping Kit-Benefit

First I always apply the rest of my makeup and my eyeshadow and mascara and then its time to be patient to try and get them both right! I use the Brow Shaping Kit from Benefit  in the shade Medium I just apply this with the two little brushes that come with it because why should I buy 2 more brushes when the ones that come with it are perfect! I then put the lightest shade in the palette which is the powder type and just build this up though my eyebrows and then at the end I tend to concentrate at the start of my eyebrows and try to make them thicker I use the Hard Angled Brush for this bit and then I use the blending brush after I have finished and sometimes I use my finger just to go over them to make sure they are rubbed in because I don't want to look like a cave man....and this method always works for me!

Light Brown Powder the right side is what
I use to fill in my eyebrows. 

Shade-Medium 

The last step is to keep them in place it might just be me but my eyebrows seem to have a little party and just stick up so I apply the speed brow-Quick set brown gel which keeps them in place all day even when Im at school its perfect as well if you are rushing and you haven't got enough time to fill your brows in as it takes ages to get them right it just adds a nice colour to your brows but it's not as effective as the brow shaping kit but I only really use this to keep my eyebrows in place and its fantastic!

Finished product.....

This is what it looks like after I have finished! Filled in but no ridiculous and big! Expect more from me and Abbie as we have got loads lined up for our blog and we will try and get back in to the blogging game!

Autumn OOTD's ❤♡

Finally a new post! Me and Abbie have been so busy lately I mean I have been stopping after school everyday to finish coursework and homework! We also have some mock exams this week that we are stressing about and we also have our maths GCSE exam coming up so we have been revising for that nearly everyday! So we are so sorry for the lack of blog posts but we are slowly coming back into the blogging game! Me and Abbie had a sudden thought about our OOTDs yesterday because we really liked our outfits!

Time for an outfit post YAY!

Alicia's OOTD:

Jeans-Topshop Coat-Topshop Shoes-Primark Scarf-Primark and Blouse-Topshop

I really loved this outfit when I put it all together I really liked the tartan scarf as it matched the inside on the hood of my coat as well and the colour of the coat also went great with the brown coloured brogues. My jeans where a new buy as I was looking for a pair of black/blue jeans that I could wear in the winter and these were from topshop which I ordered online and they where £38.00 they are the Moto Leigh Jeans super skinny and these have always been my favourite jeans from Topshop and I have several lighter pairs. You can't really see my blouse under my coat and the scarf but  its one of those blouses that you can wear with you're leggings as its a high low blouse! It is cream with black polka dots over it, Its from topshop again and it was £38.00 I know expensive but it was all brought with my bank card!

My coat is just a dark green colour with tartan in the hood and has leather pads on the elbows which I think looks great with the colour, It's a big size as I brought the size 10 because there was no size 6 anywhere so I just had to buy it oops I was desperate, It was from topshop last year and I had it for christmas from my mom and dad so I don't know the price but it should still be on the website. My scarf and shoes are both from Primark and they are my most worn stuff at the moment, I thought the scarf went lovely with the coat as the hood had tartan in it but I just wore this over the top of the blouse so that it kept my neck warm! The shoes I wore just completed the outfit as I thought the colour was very autumnal the prices for these are both in my primark haul.

Shoes

Scarf

Blouse

And that me done! Over to Abbie to do her OOTD. I am slowly putting together a Autumn lookbook with all different outfits that I tend to wear during the season filled with pumpkin spiced latte and big baggy sweaters! Alicia ❤

Abbie's OOTD:

Riding pants- Primark, Scarf- Small shop in Walsall Shopping Centre, Jacket- New Look, 

T-Shirt- Superdry, Shoes- Primark

These outfits were for a non-uniform day at school so I needed something comfortable but still wanted to look nice and smart. Since I bought my riding pants in THIS haul I have literally worn them to death! I absolutely love them because they are so comfortable but still look really smart and I did get a few compliments on these throughout the day! Also they were just £6 so whats not to love?! My scarf was one that I got just to wear with this jacket. Its a really pretty neutral cream and brown thin fashion scarf (So it doesn't exactly keep you warm) with butterfly's on. This was just from a small accessory shop in my local shopping centre (Think a cheaper version of claires accesories?) and i believe it was about £2 which makes me love it a little bit more! My jacket is brown real leather (Sorry to any animal lovers but this jacket would be an exception if you saw it!) and its from New Look. It is pricey because its real leather but my nan and grandad bought it me for Christmas last year and I defiantly think it is worth it! Its £60 but you can get fake ones cheaper also in New Look. You cant see my T-Shirt but its a plain black one with a small pocket on the left. I t has to be tucked into trousers really because on the bottom it has a bright pink logo which wouldn't really match much.It was £16.99 but is worth it because it doesn't dis colour in the wash like some black clothing does and its the kind of thing you can wear with almost anything because its just a basic wardrobe piece that I think everyone should have! Lastly my shoes were £4 from primark and I actually had to buy another pair of these so i have one pair for casual wear and one pair for more formal outfits as i wore the first pair so much! They are in THIS haul post.

Hopefully we can do some more joint posts like this soon but as me and Alicia do different subjects at schhol we have different homework and revision free nights so we will try our best

Hope you enjoyed! Abbie ♡

Primark Haul❤

YAY HAUL TIME.......... Well since I have not been shopping in ages me my mom and my grandmar and par just went for a little shop so we just went to primark and trust me I can't just pop in a see whats there I end up coming back with a big bag full of clothes!

Shoes:❤

So I think that primark do the best shoes ever I mean I love topshop and office shoes but sometimes when fashion keeps going in and out its better to buy cheaper then it is to go and buy expensive so on with the picture.......

£12.00

£12.00

Here are the topshop look a likes these babys where £12 and they are just black leather with a little cuban heel! I think these are the best look a likes for a pair of topshop shoes and im seriously going to be wearing these all autumn!

£12.00

Next I just brought these light brown brogue style shoe as I thought I could wear them with my thick black tights and a big cardigan ready for autumn but I could also wear them with my jeans and a nice simple top with a big knitted cardigan over the top.


Winter Wear.....❤
So as its winter I thought why not buy a new coat and a scarf and some gloves!? I already have my winter coat from last year which is just a topshop one but I have been admiring the green parka's and I didn't want to pay full price incase they went out of style quick so I just brought one from primark and its lovely! I can't wait to wear it when it snows! Its this dark green/ brown colour with fur around the hood (Don't worry its not real) and inside is a soft fur wool and there is leather trim all around cuffs and the pockets.

£25

£25

The next thing I purchased for school to put over my blazer when it gets cold is just a snood and the matching gloves as we can't wear coats for school so we just have to bundle up! The snood is a chunky cream knit and so are the gloves.

£4.00 Snood

£2.00

I also wanted just a normal scarf that I can wear with my jeans and my cardigans and just my coat so I was seeing on Instagram that everyone was buying these lovely thick tartan scarfs and I instantly fell in love and tartan is very in at the moment so I thought why not... So I brought that and thought I could wear it with my brogues a nice blouse and my jeans. It has a dark blue in the background and is covered with a red and a blue and green the picture really doesn't do it justice!

£4.00

Tops, Cardigans, Trousers and Belts:❤

So there wasn't much tops or cardigans that I like there so I just brought a few things! First I saw this lovely fluffy baby pink cardigan which looks exactly like one that my mom has from river island but I didn't want to keep wearing my moms so when I saw this I had to get it! It will look lovely with a dress as well and also with my jeans again!

£12.00

And then I just brought this pink and grey blouse as that's what people seem to be wearing at the moment and tucking it in to there jeans and wearing a brown belt and some oxford style shoes so I wanted to get one! The only size they had was an 8 so its a little big for me but I really wanted it! The blouse colour is baby pink and then goes to grey on the shoulders and the arms!

£10.00

I then saw that they had some black legging/ riding trousers and I have been looking for some of these for a long time but again I didn't wan't to pay full price for some! These are just like a black legging type trouser with a quilted pattern buy the pocket!

£6.00

£6.00

And on to the last thing I brought........ So I was looking on H&M for a nice brown and black thin belt and they were out of stock so when I was looking in primark I was trying to find one the exact same but I cam across these belts that were in a set of 2! The black belt has studs along the belt and the brown one is just plain! I thought these would go well with my jeans my brogue style shoes and my blouse tucked in!

£2.00

£2.00

❤  And thats it that is the end the haul! I hope you liked it and me and Abbie are very sorry that we are slow at putting blogs up we don't seem to have a minute with homework, school and trying to complete coursework! We are going to try and post more OOTD's and an Autumn lookbook?!

School Makeup....

Back to school Makeup.....

So as me and Abbie are back at school know I thought I would show you what makeup I use for school! I only tend to wear natural makeup because covering your face with foundation is not nice let me tell you that. I don't tend to wear much just the normal wich consists off conceler, mascara and stuff like that.... Its perfect and lasts all day really as I don't take any makeup to school I mean I have no time to apply makeup and honestly half the time I can't be bothered... so lets get started!



Face.....

First I tend to apply my conceler which is the Collection Lasting Perfction conceler  in the shade 03 Medium and I just apply this under my eyes as I have dark circles I mean waking up at 7 is not my thing! also I just apply this to any blemishes and  I just apply that with my Beauty Blender . The next thing I apply is some BB cream and the one I use is the Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream  which is for oily skin and I just apply this mainly to my T-Zone as this is where I tend to get more of and oily effect on my skin and I use the Mac Foundation Brush 190. I then  apply my Maybelline Dream Matte Powder  in 02 Rose Ivory which is to set my BB cream and to cover the oil that is lying on my face and I apply this to my T-Zone once again with the Real Techniques Buffing Brush and it lasts all day in my opinion! and then I just apply my Benefit Hoola Bronzing powder  to my cheek bones with the Mac Brush 187 






Eyes.....

The eyes are really natural I just apply some mascara which is from Lancome  and is limited edition so I don't know if they are still doing this mascara at this time! Very natural like I said but sometimes I might just add any light eyeshadow like one from the Naked Palette 2 but not everyday.



Lips.......

For the lips just plain and natural again I just use my babylips that I am obsessed with and have been since my american beauty gurus have spoken about them on youtube! I tend to add first the Peach Kiss ( which is that purple one) and it just adds a nice colour to my lips and then I just add the Intense Care ( which is the yellow one) and this just keeps my lips nice but also adds a bit of colour.




That is all from me and I hope you like it! This should be the last school related post know as school season has started again and we are thinking about doing a fall series with a fall look book or something like that! Me and Abbie will try and post as much as we can but we are back at school with loads of homework, exams and coursework to finish but we shall try our best to post!

What's in my school bag....

Its that time of year guys... Back to school:( I go back to school on the 4th September and still have a pile of work that needs doing but anyway I thought it would be nice to share with you my school supplies and what I take to school in my school bag.Me and Abbie are both going in to year 11 this year which means more exams more work and work as hard as you can, however at the end of the tunnel there is always an outcome and that will be prom yay!

This year I wanted to try a new bag which is a tote bag I normally have an over body bag but just hang it off my shoulder and this year tote's were in so I thought why not get a lovely tote bag! I loved the colour of this one as my school uniform is black so I wanted to find a bag with more colour but for some reason shops only seem to like black tote bags! I did find a lovely bag which was in topshop but I didn't buy it there and then and know its sold out and I can't seem to find it so I did try everywhere for the same one but unfortunately could not find one like that anywhere.... BUT I went to Primark  and found this lovely cream/tan coloured tote bag hopefully it will survive through my heavy books in my bag.

The first thing that's in my school bag would have to be my pencil case which is from PaperChase and I love it! It has glitter on it and panda's and cute little fairy's on it (yes I know im going into year 11 but who cares right?). In my pencil case I obviously have pens and pencils and highlighter's and rubbers but most of my stationary is from PaperChase  or WHSmiths.

Next in my school bag I have something I like to call "The Survival Kit" in this I just have my keys for my house and locker I have some medicine in their which is paracetamol and 4 head I only carry these things around with me as I have my main tablets before school and the most important thing I have in their is some Sanitary towels and some spare pants just incase mother nature want's to see you early, I have some hand sanitizer because of the germs around school I have some plasters just incase I have a nail file just incase I break a nail because I love my nails! they have to be perfect... and I also just keep a little bit of money in there as well just incase.Normally my earphones and a pack of tissues  and a lip balm would be in there too but I just pop them in my blazer pocket.

The next thing I have is just my Cath Kidston  pouch that hold's my equipment like my maths stuff which is a calculator which is obviously pink I have had this since Year 8  and im hoping it does not give up on me during my maths exam in November also have my protractor and stuff like that. I have only used this as there was not any little pockets in my bag to put this stuff so I just put it nice and neat in to this so that it doesn't fall out my bag or get lost!

Then just at the bottom of my bag I just have my glasses that I wear all the time at school as im as blind as a bat and can't read anything off the board or anything out of books as my eyesight is rubbish so my glasses are just Ted Baker  and they are a lovely colour.I would aslo carry in my bag my lunch box some water and my school books and school planner that are always in my bag.

Just what it looks like on shoulder.....
Skirt:Brandy Melville
Jumper:Topshop

Hope you have enjoyed this blog post and there will be many more school related posts! Are you looking forward to school this year?! and if your new to high school good luck you will be fine!

Skin Care Routine

I have recently started looking after my skin a lot more than usual which I know is a must and that you should always look after your skin! My skin is lovely and I am totally spot free  I know I am very lucky with my skin and I feel terrible because some people with spot's have tried all different types of products that will help with their skin but sometimes it makes it worse for them and im guilty because I never used to look after my skin the only thing I used to do was remove my makeup with makeup wipes! So I'm going to show you how I look after my skin know so with out further a do lets get started!

Step 1: 

* Garnier Clean and Soft Complete Cleansing Wipes (£2.17), I have been using these facial wipes since I have started wearing makeup my mom recommended them to me and ever since then I have never brought or used any different cleansing wipes.I really recommend these cleansing wipes because they are so soft they smell pleasant and they remove your makeup perfectly.And this is what I use to remove my makeup every night it's also good at removing the dirt off your face because you don't want a dirty face!

Step 2:

*Nivea Pure & Natural Cleansing Lotion (£2.30), I use this cleansing lotion every night before I go to bed I apply it to a large cotton wool pad which you cant get from Boots, Superdrug and also supermarkets.Once I have applied a fair amount on to the cotton wool pad I just apply that to one of my cheeks and just make sure that its spread around the cheek evenly I then do the same to my other cheek then to my forehead just my whole face really and I just try to rub it in as much as I can, you can see the dirt that has been on your face all day on the cotton wool pad but this helps alot to remove all the grubby things that are on your face.

Step 3:

*Nivea Pure & Natural Cleansing Toner (£2.24), When I have applied the Cleansing Lotion to my face I get another large cotton wool pad and just squirt some of the Cleansing Toner on to the large cotton wool pad and just go around my face just wiping off the Lotion that I had put on before, you can  see the dirt on the cotton wool pad when you remove it which shows that the Makeup remover wipes don't remove all of the grubby things that are on to your face all day even though you can't even see them! The Cleansing toner honestly looks like water if you ask my but anyway... When I finish with this my skin feels so soft and refreshed.

Step 4:

*Nivea Extra Gentle Eye Make Up Remover (£3.39), I use this again every night just to remove my eye makeup as I always wear my eye shadows and mascara because im obsessed with making my eyes look pretty so I just apply this to a large cotton wool pad and just wipe over my eye lids and just my eye lashes to get an mascara that didn't come off with the makeup wipes.

*******Another thing I also do is not something I do every night because I don't go in the shower every night but when im in the shower I just wash my face with just the hot water from the shower and just cup it in my hands and splash my face.**********

I also hope to add another thing to my skin routine which is the Clarisonic Brush in pink so if anyone has one just comment and tell me what they are like as I might need to purchase a pink Clarisonic Brush!

And thats it thats my skin routine for you I would honestly try these products if I were you because they are fantastic! Thank you!

Little Side Note:

Me and Abbie have not been posting alot lately as we didn't know what to write about but we are back up and running again! We will probably be doing a whats in my school bag? Maybe we could start a back to school series even though it might be a little late know but we could do advice anything that you need help with about school that just a little idea!
