You Can Do Anything! ♡ Quick Update

As I am sure you can tell this isn't a normal blog post but I thought I'd try something different today. I love quotes and think that they can really help when you feel weighed down. Me and Alicia have passed our GCSEs and are now studying for our A Levels. We weren't expecting it to be easy but we are suddenly being pulled and pushed from 4 angles and it is becoming more and more stressful. I believe you can do anything you set your mind to as long as you work and there's no such word as can't (I think that comes from the dancer in me) but I think we have all been doubting ourselves lately which is not good. Sometimes we all need some motivation which hopefully this post can give. People say you should just aim to be happy which is true but I believe everyone will be happier if they achieve bigger and better things which all comes from hard work. However, with hard work , as much as we hate it, sometimes things have to slip. This is why I haven't been posting on here much but I am planing things that I can upload when I have time. 

Im not sure where I'm going with this anymore but I just wanted you to know I am alive! and that we wont be posting very regularly at the moment while we get on top of all our work.

Urban Decay Foundation Review

Another review!! I really like review posts as I think it's good to show people how good the product actually is. This review post will be on the Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless ultra definition liquid makeup! I brought this along with a urban decay optical blurring brush which I will go into more detail after, when I went shopping for sixth form clothes and I have been wanting to try and foundation as I normally use a by cream all year round but last year I was very place as the winter months came by and this year I wanted to try and foundation! 

I don't normally wear foundation and luckily my skin is in a really good condition, but I don't apply much because I don't like to look like a Barbie doll and have makeup all on my clothes because that is something I don't like and it's not me so with this one I'm able to apply a thin cover of foundation and still get the coverage I need! The coverage from this foundation is amazing for example at the moment I have freckles on my face due to being on holiday and they stand out a lot so when I used the Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation it covered it straight away with just one brush over my nose! The other thing about this foundation is that it's not heavy and It doesn't feel tacky on my face which is something I like, because it's not nice when you can feel your'e makeup on your face because in my opinion that means you have a good amount of makeup on your face but with this one it's perfect!


The shade that I got it in was 4 and this was the perfect match for me as my skin type is olive so I'm dark but not that dark and this was perfect, I would recommend however asking for a match instead of just buying one that looks like it suits you're skin colour because it is pricey but the bottle is quite big and it's also a pump action bottle which in my opinion is better as you can get as much as you want out of the bottle and I think it's better value because it wont run out as quick and you can pump the amount out that you want instead of bringing out loads and then washing/wiping it off!

My application with this foundation is simple I use the back of my hand and do 1 small pump and use that with the Optical Blurring Brush and the best way to apply it the lady said was to scoop the foundation on to the brush and then once I have applied the 1 small pump I pump one last blob of foundation on my back on the hand again and that's me done as it gives me good coverage.


Optical Blurring Brush was recommended to me by the lady who matched me with the foundation but I was going to purchase one online which I found on Instagram where you can get them a bit cheaper but also to the best quality and the company is called Complexion Perfection. The Optical Blurring Brush is made to give you a flawless finish to your makeup and its distributes the product evenly and it's true to it's words it does, it's perfect and with the brush having densely packed hairs. I really recommend this brush to apply bb cream or foundation! 

Overall I'm really happy with this foundation and I have been using it for a couple days now and it turns out it really suits my skin as my skin hasn't changed since I have started using it so the picture below shows my everyday makeup routine which could be a blog post in the future and If you would like me to do a blog post on that then just leave a comment and I hope you enjoyed this post because I really enjoyed writing it!

Amethyst Shimmer

Another post!!!! This one is totally different to any post we have done on here but I thought why not try something different!! 

So this blog post is about my new favourite lip colour for Autumn\Winter! The lip colour I have taken a liking to is a burgundy colour from Rimmel in the shade Amethyst Shimmer and I love it! I decided I wanted this colour because I've been watching this girl on YouTube called imhereforever and I'm totally obsessed with her videos and she had a similar colour on to this one so I had to go and find one! 

As you can see the picture does not do it justice but it's a burgundy kind of colour and I think it's going to be perfect for Autumn with large jackets and my chelsea boots and it's great because it matches my hair perfectly so I can probably get away with wearing it in a lot of seasons and also maybe for school as my hair colour is brown and the lipstick isn't that bright which is great! 

This is it on!!! It's beautiful it has to be one of my favourite lipsticks! The lip liner I used and brought was the Rimmel Coloursensational in the shade 547 Pleasure me red! And I bet you're thinking a red lip liner what?! But honest it goes perfectly with the colour of the lipstick! 

I bet you're all thinking how well does it come off?! Well that was my first worry but I actually tried taking it off with makeup wipes which took it off completely but you could still see the colour a little bit so I decided to use a product which I love to death and use when I'm to lazy to do my moiturising and to remove all my makeup completely and that's the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water this product is the best product ever! I normally use the Garnier makeup remover wipes thinking that will remove all makeup but it doesn't remove it all so I apply this to a cotton wool pad and just go around my face to remove excess makeup! 

So I used this to get rid of the lipstick and it worked perfectly! It was gone within one wipe to the lips which is perfect as these sort of colours can stain you're lips and I don't really like that so it's perfect!

Fletchers Hall ♡

Last weekend me and my family went to a big house that my mom and dad rented for my moms birthday to spend a weekend together. The house was in Lytham St Annes which is near Preston and it was so nice! We didn't do much, just stayed around the swimming pool and hot tub and had a little walk around the town so we just relaxed. I want to share some photos but I don't know how my family would feel about their photos being put up on here so I an just going to include the ones I'm in. 

Firstly some photos of the house and what was there. On the first night there was such a lovely pink and purple sun set so I got my camera out and got some great photos! 

Living Room

It was a Tudor style house surrounded by field after field! There was even an old abandoned tractor in one. There was a white horse in one field that my cousins and brother liked to go and feed and one of my cousins decided it's name was Snowy. There were all old cupboards, wardrobes, vases, tables, dressing tables (which I really wanted to bring home with me!) and a stuffed pheasant which I'm pretty sure will still haunt me when I'm about 80! That all added to the oldness? I'm not sure but it was all very vintage and lovely. We also managed to get our full use out of the hot tub, heated pool, trampoline and table tennis table, there really was something for everyone! 

On our second and last night we decided to all dress up and my moms auntie cooked an amazing meal. While we were eating the red arrows even made an appearance while training for the Blackpool air show!I loved my dress and every one looked lovely so here are some photos of that!

Dress- Topshop

Shoes- Dorothy Perkins

Earrings & Necklase- Warren James

There are just some photos that I wanted to share! We all had an amazing weekend and I hope we can do something similar soon.

Also just quickly, I noticed before writing this that we have over 3,000 page views now so thank you all! Hopefully me and Alicia will have some back to school posts soon so get ready for then!
