NEW BENEFIT THEY'RE REAL PUSH UP LINER

As you can see by the title of this blog post I'm very excited to write about this new eye liner only reason being because it's amazing! I have recently purchased the new Benefit They're Real Push up liner  I have been so excited to try this but have not be able to get it anywhere not even duty free when I was on holiday but when I went out and just dropped into House Of Fraser it was there waiting for me and I had to get it! As far as eyeliner goes I love it! I have been trying all different eyeliners for a long time and they haven't been that good I mean don't get me wrong some different brands of eyeliners are just as good but this was is great and I'm not saying that I'm brilliant at applying eyeliner because I'm not it's horrible to apply but with this on it seems more easier and I will go into why later on!

When I first tried this product I was in a mess! At first I didn't read how to get it working as you have to twist the bottom to make the liner come out which was just a minor detail I forgot to read and at first (for me anyway) loads came out and I didn't expect that! At first its really fiddly and I always end up putting too much on my eye and end up with a thick line or I end up putting not enough on and end up with a thin patchy line which does not look nice! When I managed to get it right it reminded me of super glue because in seconds it was dry and I took a little bit of time to get off after as I didn't purchase the They're Real Remover which is made to remove the They're real Mascara and Eyeliner.

As you can see the tip of the eyeliner is slanted and very thin so if you wanted a harsher line you would have to really build it up a lot more but for me it's really good because I don't really like a harsh line but that's just my opinion so it makes it much easier for me as well to apply it without getting into a messy makeup situation. However because the dispenser of the eyeliner is very small and thin you can never really judge how much to twist and sometimes you end up with too much or sometimes not enough however when you get the hang off it you can get an amazing finish.

Overall I think this product is brilliant, I might have to keep practising applying it as It's a bit harder then the normal gel pot eyeliner I use from Seventeen! So if purchased I would allow yourself some time to keep applying the eyeliner to get used to it, but in the end when used to the product I think applying the eyeliner will not take long in future!

Hope you liked this post, it was mainly just to show how nice the benefit product is and what it's like to use it! There is going to be more blog post mainly focusing on school related stuff soon and I might even consider doing a look book on what to wear to sixth form or college if not given expected to wear uniforms and maybe another whats in our school bags as that last year seemed to be a popular post!

My Bad Beauty Habits!

I think we all have bad beauty habits no matter what we do but my speciality of bad beauty habits has to be mini testers or mini makeup products that you get for Christmas in gift sets or get free samples in with you're purchase on another product so I'm guilty as charged mine is keeping to many mini makeup products and not using them! 

This blog post is mainly to show how bad I have let myself get with mini testers  and to really give tips to you on how you can stop things happening like this because if you're anything like me you keep buying makeup and not using the makeup that needs using so in the end it turns out being a waste of money and a waste of some brilliant makeup products!


First thing first is to put them into something which you can always reach like mine which is in a benefit makeup collection box which was given to me for christmas with extra makeup products up so I just took all the packaging out and used it as a kind of storage box to store my mini makeup as I like to call it because as you can see from the pictures I have a lot of dupes which I love but haven't used as much so putting them in a box saves you time looking for them to use where as you can just pull one box out which has all the mini makeup in to use which is a great idea in my opinion because when you want to use something you don't want to spend ages trying to find that product you were wanting!

Secondly is to add some of you're testers to you're daily makeup routine as this is what I have been doing for example I have a lot of the Benefit They're Real! mascara and I have been using this instead of my normal Nars one so that I can use all my tester mascaras before I go and get another one which means I don't have to lose money to something I didn't really need in the first place! It's also good because It makes you realise how much you actually missed that product and you start addicted to that particular product again.

A few more bad beauty habits I have is one big main one being lazy! Im really lazy and don't take much care of my skin which I have done a post on about my skin care but I'm  luckily and I don't know how my skin is clear but I'm guilty for not taking care of it when I should and I also have a bad habit of not moisturising which should be my main priority as I don't want horrible skin when I get older so I have been getting better and trying to take care of my skin! Other then that I don't have any more bad beauty habits expect buying more makeup when I don't need any but I think a lot of people are like that so I don't feel as bad!

Hope you enjoyed this little post, it's not much but me and Abbie are trying to get blog posts up ready for when we go back to school because starting A Levels means a lot of work so we are doing little and often after summer ends but we are going to do some school blog posts but I think we are both waiting till we get out results to buy everything we need for school and then we will introduce back to school posts!

Tell me what you're bad beauty habits are and if you suffer from buying and keeping makeup that hardly get's used!

What's in my Bag!

Finally a new blog post from me! I have been on holiday to Cyprus and have only recently just got back and I must say I'm missing Cyprus so much, but I will be doing a holiday blog post when I get all the pictures! But I thought in the mean time why not do a What's in my Bag because I have seen a lot of people doing these sorts of post's and videos on youtube so I thought why not! Also we might do a whats in our school bag like we did last year as people took and interest in them so maybe a back to school series on the blog as me and Abbie are going to sixth form so we have more school supplies and outfits as we don't have to wear uniforms! Anyway lets get on with it!!!!

This is my bag that I have started using when I go out to places like shopping, college induction days ect, but I also used it to travel to Cyprus with and it was amazing it fit so much stuff in and didn't actually get that heavy! And its the Michael Kors Medium Jet Set Travel and it was brought by my mom and dad for my 16th Birthday and I actually wrote a blog post on it so check that out as I go into more detail! 16th Birthday. It's a decent size and has 3 compartments in it so I can fit quite a lot in there which is good because I take it out for a day hardly anything in it at the start and then by the end it's full and I don't know how!

The picture above shows you a top view of that compartments in the bag and a quick overview of what is in it on a daily basis. So first lets start with the first compartment which is the pocket at the front.

The first pocket I just carry some earphones who are apple ear phones which just come with my phone, I then just have a pen just incase I ever need one when I go out or if I go out with my mom and she doesn't have one it's nice to know I have one as a backup! Then lastly I just have this cream pouch which is from H&M a while back and it just carry's my girly stuff so that they aren't on show to the whole world!

Then in the middle of the back there is a zip pocket and In that I carry my makeup because I don't really see the point in carrying a makeup back because I don't actually wear that much makeup and because at the moment with my tan my makeup doesn't match the shade of my skin as I'm darker so I just carry some Tissues as they are a must with my hay fever, 4head as I get migraines and don't really want to carry my tablets around with me but I do carry paracetamol around with me, then I have my Nivea Milk and Honey lip balm as I have dry lips, then the benefit Bad Gal lash to top my mascara up If I wanted to, then last thing for makeup if the Seventeen Miracle Matte Pressed Powder as I don't want to look shiny. Then the last two products are some hand cream from Soap and Glory and some Spray so that I don't smell.

The last pocket in the back is the same size as the pocket in the front and in this one I tend to carry the more expensive stuff as it's closer to my underarm so I anyone tries to steal anything there is a good chance I will be able to feel it! Anyway first thing first is the two paris of glasses first I have my sunglasses which are RayBan and then my glasses which are also RayBan but they would only be in my bag If I were to wear contact lenses. Then I have my purse which used to be my baby pink Ted Baker one but I changed to my MK ones as it's bigger and I could fit more money in when I went to Cyprus and this is just a light brown, then I carry my inhaler just incase and then lastly my life which is my phone!


That is all from me until I do my holiday post but this was only a filler until I write my holiday post but I hope you liked it and stay tuned for the holiday post and more posts of both of us due to summer holidays!

16th Birthday

Finally I'm 16! Its great having my birthday in the summer but I have to wait so long for it! ANYWAY I'm currently writing this after my last exam which means no more school and no more exams for me and Abbie which is great but also means more blog posts! This blog post is what I got for my 16th birthday which was wednesday 11th June:) I didn't really do much I just revised as I had a maths exam but I had a lovely day and me and my family are going out for something to eat this weekend as a celebration for my birthday and end of exams!

So on the morning of my birthday I went down stairs where the living room was decorated with with 16 banners and baby pink ribbon on the door handles and a pile of prezzies and cards from my family! I also had 2 sixteen balloons by the presents and the cards it just added a nice touch to the whole thing!

When I went down all my presents were wrapped in cute little polka dot pink paper, it was so cute:D anyway on the the first present I opened was a money pot and I have wanted one of these for ages not to put money in but to just display and my mom and dad brought me one saying 'Princess Fund' with a cute message on the back and a big '16' and it goes with my room really well so thats great!

Then there was 2 pandora bags and I instantly fell in love they were both from my brother and it was something that I actually wanted and they were a pair of earrings and a charm for my bracelet! The earrings are just pink daises and I love them Abbie has the same ones and I loved them so I had to ask for them! Then I got a pandora charm which is very delicate with small diamonds in it because big charms look funny on my wrist as my wrist is small but it's just little flowers with diamonds in the middle, and it's perfect because I only wear 2 charms on my bracelet!

Then the next gift wasn't really a gift It was planned before my birthday about a couple months ago and it was that my mom was going to give me one of her new MK watches for my older MK watch which I was fine with and we were going to get the links taken out this weekend but as a surprise she did it while she was shopping for my birthday present! It's just a rose gold watch with a diamond face on with a watch bracelet as panther links which is really nice I think I just really like the design of it and I'm gland my mom wanted to trade with me because I loved this one!

The next present of my family was a massive surprise I never expected it and it was MK Bag and it was the Medium Jet Set Travel in black, and it's the most beautiful thing ever I have fell in love in with it and Im so grateful and shocked that my mom and dad brought me one but they also told me it was towards hard work for my exams but I plan on using it a lot and I thought it will be ideal for when we go on holiday as it's a decent size. The inside is also lovely and it's split into 2 by a large zip pouch where you can put more valuable things and I think thats a great idea and it's just the right size!

And lastly Abbie and her mom came round which was really nice and dropped my present off and I don't think you understand how excited I was because I got a mug and a keyring with '16' on as I  REALLY wanted a mug don't ask me why and it's a great mug for a cuppa. The keyring and the mug both have a cute little teddy bear on them holding a '16' so THANK YOU ABBIE! also Fraser he little brother made me a loom band which is the cutest thing ever so thank you!

Also a  week before my grandmar and par brought me a gnome and it was the best present ever I love it! It's know sitting in my garden where you can see it on the patio and everyone comments on him but when I leave home the gnome is coming with me. It's such a thoughtful but sill present but I love it so much! 

Lastly mom got me a cake as a surprise so we had a piece of cake and a cuppa with my grandmar and grandad on the afternoon and it was lovely. I really enojyed my day with everyone and I wasn't at school which was a complete shock as I'm always at school for my birthday and it was a lovely day and Im so grateful for everything!
