Triangl Bikini💕

I totally forgot to do a blog post before I went on holiday to Cyprus about my Triangl Bikini but I did cut it fine as I ordered it a couple days before I went to Cyprus and lucky me.... The DHL man brought it the day before we left to Cyprus which I'm so happy about as it's gorgeous! 

I ordered the Milly Candy Pink bikini which is so cute! The colour is fantastic and with a tan it's beautiful! The only thing I was disappointed with was that I didn't come with a scuba bag as that's with only certain bikinis but I still for the box which is also really nice! 

It's such a comfortable bikini and it must be true because I live in my bikini when I'm on holiday because I just like to tan and swim! It was definitely the mosey popular bikini of the summer because I saw a lot of people wearing them which was great because I'm so happy the brand was doing well because it's deserves it because the swimwear is fantastic and I might even have to buy some of the underwear!! 

It also comes with a piece of card which has information on about how to wash it as it's a very strange material so if anyone gets one read the instructions as it has to be washer differently! 

Overall I was really happy with my bikini and the the service offered by the company and how fast the delivery is! And I plan on wearing it every year I go to Cyprus even if it does go out of fashion!!

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!

Holiday Makeup

Finally a holiday post! Im so excited to be going on holiday back to Cyprus this year I actually can't wait to get an amazing tan and just sit in the sun all day! I thought I would do this post to just show you what sort of makeup I will be taking on holiday I always end up taking my normal makeup which is the makeup I wear on an everyday basis, and I don't normally wear any makeup considering the sun catches my face quick so I don't need it but I just take makeup just incase so lets get into it:)

The makeup bag is one of my favourite makeup bags ever because one it looks small but boy does it go on forever, I can fit so much makeup in there which is great and always comes in handy when im travelling places! The makeup bag is from Ted Baker and it was a prezzie for my birthday last year from Abbie and I love it!

Face:

First is the Nars Tinted Moisturizer in the shade Finland Light 1 this is the best tinted moisturizer I have ever owned and the coverage is brilliant you only need a bit of this as it can feel a bit thick sometimes but I don't use much so I really recommend it from Nars

Then for concealer and under eye concealer I used the Maybelline- Eraser Eye in the shade Light this is the best concealer and actually covers dark under eyes and spots and if it covers spots then it must be good! It also not very heavy either which is good and when I'm having a lazy day I just normally put this on as coverage as it does cover a lot and I just dot it over my face but normally I put this on my T-Zone and under my eyes!

Then I just apply my powder to my whole face and the one I use is the Kiko Soft Light Powder  in the shade 02 this has got to be on of my favourite powders as I had to buy a new one because I could not find my normal Maybelline one anywhere so I read up on the reviews on this on and people said how good it was so I went and brought one and I love it, it also stops me from going shiny and I normally just carry it in my bag just incase I do get a bit oily which is not nice!

Then I just use my fave bronzer and I think it is everyones favourite bronzer and thats the Benefit Hoola Bronzer and it's amazing I just put it on my cheek bones and the sides of my face and It's lasted me a life time I swear I have only recently hit pan and Im sure I will be buying a new one as soon as it runs out because it been fantastic and I really recommend it!

Then Im just taking my Nars Blush in the shade Love which is a rosy pink as it's light to carry and adds a nice suttle colour to my cheeks as I should be red already due to being in the sun all day if Im not careful so this is just an alternative to my Benefit-Rockateur as that one adds a lot of colour to your cheeks and I normally use it in the autumn/winter .

Then on to the last face product Benefit-High Beam this is a perfect product to give you a healthy glow I have only just started using it again and can't believe I stopped using it because it's perfect I just apply to my cheeks and rub it in and people can really see the difference when it's on!

Then on to the brushes I use to apply my face makeup are a range of brushes from Mac to Real Techniques....

Left-Right

The first one is a Real Techniques Blush Brush which I use to apply my blusher, the next one is a Mac 187 Brush which I use to apply bronzer to my cheek bones and sides of my face, then I use the Real Techniques Stippling Brush to apply the High Beam to my cheeks , then the Real Techniques Buffing Brush which I use to apply the powder and lastly the Mac 190 Brush to apply my Nars Tinted moisturizer and the Beauty Blender for the concealer.

Eyes:


First for my eyes is to curl them with some eye lash curlers and then I just use my Nars-Longer than life Volumizing Mascara and it's amazing doesn't clump or anything and since I have been curing my lashes and apply vaseline to them when I go to bed they have go a  lot longer so the mascara shows that off a lot and I think it a brilliant mascara as Im really funny with mascara!

Then for Brows I have changed what I use because I was using a Mac eyeshadow which I actually choose the wrong colour and I have only just realised to instead of going to buy a new one I was watching this girl on youtube called imhereforever and she used a Natural Collection one so I went and brought one which matches my colour and this is in the shade Crushed Walnut so it was really inexpensive and works brilliantly. Then im just taking my Benefit-Speed Brow to keep my brows in place!

Then just for eyeshadow Im either taking the Naked Palette 2 or 3 as I had a wide range of colours to pick from then but Im going to discuss it with my mom so we can take one to share as it will be much easier but If you want to see the colours then go and read my post on comparing the two palettes  Naked 2&3 palette


Lips:

First lets get the Lip Balms out the way as they are great but they are very boring! So I have a lot of lip balms as I have really dry lips because weird fact but when I concentrate  I lick my lips no reasons, don't know why but hey! So one crucial thing is a medicated lip balm which stops the dryness and redness and that one is Blistex Med Plus and boy does it work it's great I put it on every night before I go to bed and it stops my lips from being dry and red! Then just a normal lip balm I use the Nivea Milk and Honey one and this is amazing works a treat and I just apply it on my lips throughout the day.

Then on to the last bit a lipstick! This was my prom lipstick and I have fallen inlove with it, it's a perfect colour and matches my skin tone which is great and its a Mac Lipstick in the shade Hue and it's just a shimmery brown colour but with a hint of pink and it's so pretty so definitely one of my favourites! Then also my Kiko Glow Touch Lips and Cheeks in the shade 101 Venus Pink which is also a lovely light pink and its good because you can use it for lip and cheek bonus! 

Then for the brushes a Mac 266 Angled Brush to fill my eyebrows in and a Sigma E65 Small Angle as a lip brush because I didn't want to buy a new one:S

Thank you for reading, I hope you liked this post and to check Abbie's Summer Makeup for her makeup routine for summer:)

What's in my makeup bag:Holiday Edition

So as you know I have just gotten back from a lovely holiday in Cyprus! I thought why not do a holiday edition of whats in my makeup bag and what I took with me?! I only brought one thing in duty free which is good for me because our flight was boarding as soon as we got through security so I only managed to eat and buy something! So lets get in to what's in my makeup bag:)

Face:The makeup that I took on holiday that I used for my face was not used as much as I thought I would need it because I caught a tan very quickly on my face! The majority of the face products that I took with me are normally used all year round.I took two BB creams which were the 17 BB cream and Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream both of these BB creams have SPF in them as well which is a must have! The brushes I took to apply the BB creams were---- Beauty Blender  and A Mac Foundation Brush 190.I also took my under eye concealer to hide the dark circles under my eyes which is the Maybelline The Eraser Eye and I applied this with my beauty blender.When I have applied all the BB creams and the concealer I then apply my Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in the shade 02 Rose Ivory I use this to set my makeup and to stop my face from getting oily when I get to warm... I apply this with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush

Eyes:The products that I used for my eyes were my Mac Palette and My mascara was the Lancome  Hypnose- Doll Eyes Effect.The two eye shadows that I used were the two colours at the top of the palette which were a dark brown colour and then a light champagne colour(Im so sorry I can't remember the names of them and can't seem to find them in my makeup draw or on the internet), I would use the light champagne colour first and I would apply this on my eye lid and would put the amount that I think worked for me, I then added the dark brown colour in to the crease of my eye lid and this mixed in with the light champagne colour and then I would just blend it out which added a lovely light colour but also a hint of dark in it.The bushes I would use were my Sigma Mrs Bunny Travel Kit to apply the light champagne colour I would use the brush 

E55 - Eye Shading  and then use the brush E40-Tapered Blending to apply the brown shade in the crease of my eye. The Mascara that I took was just one of my old ones but I managed to pick up one from Duty Free which I feel in love with and it apply's perfectly and doesn't clump I even think that it better then the benefit they're real mascara.The mascara is from Lancome and it was a limited edition and honestly I really recommend it. Face Eyes Thank you for reading and there should be more blog posts coming from me this week.If you want to check out my Cyprus post then you can find it here My Trip To Cyprus  and you can also go to Anke Blog and read the Cyprus post where she made a small video of Cyprus and has loads of pictures of Cyprus and our time there:) Aliciax

My Trip to Cyprus☀

Hello Im back from Cyprus unfortunately I wish I was back in the sun and tanning but no im in my room in England writing my post up while it raining! I want to apologies for my lack of blog posts recently but there should be more coming from me very soon!


So me and my family and my brothers girlfriend booked a holiday ages ago to go Cyprus this year as last year as we didn't have a holiday due to me being in hospital and our friends child being in hospital as well! So we travelled down to Manchester on the 20th and stopped over night as our flight to Cyprus was early hours of the morning I do have a holiday haul which will be uploaded soon on what I brought over there and what I brought in duty free in the airport and we stopped for 10 days in Cyprus which was the 21st-31st and honestly I wish we stopped longer.We stopped at the most beautiful hotel which was called 'Sunrise Beach Hotel' In Protoas.All the staff in the hotel were lovely you had the people that worked in the pool bar the people that worked on reception the managers of different restaurants which were in the hotel also the bar manager that we had a drink with every night he even offered me a job but then I told him I was only 15 and he said come back next year and you will have a job so looks like I will be living in Cyprus for the 6 weeks! Also the entertainers were lovely and we got friendly with them which we are know friends on Facebook!

Entrance of the hotel

Strip of the hotel-View from my room

The rooms were lovely in the hotel and really clean and the beds were even comfy?! I mean thats what you want when you are on holiday! nothing like my own bed though! I had to share a room with my brother Ben and his girlfriend Anke I got along with Anke in the room but not Ben put it this way the room was way to messy for my liking! Our hotel room got cleaned everyday and the maids were lovely also.

Our holiday was mainly spent by the pool then on the night going out for something to eat and drinks after! We were allecated our sun beds when we got there and got to pick where we wanted them and honestly we picked the best place for the sun and the view we also had a lovely couple next to us.We were mainly in the pool playing with a volley ball that we brought and we spent many days hitting that around the pool while my brother got angry at me as I wasn't hitting it up I was hitting it down... so..... We also played a real volley ball game with people around the pool with the entertainers where a good looking russian thought he could flirt with me..... he was good looking though^_^.We also went in the sea alot as well but that got busier as the week went on but it was fun when we were in there when we had the rubber ring. We became friends with everyone and we even became friends with people who live in the same village as us that only live down the road and it seems like we have known them for ages.

On the night we went to the restaurant which was right in the hotel with a view of the sea and the sun setting it was lovely you had an excuse to get dressed up also as you had to dress smart to be able to get in.On the last night we went all out we even had a bottle of Moet which I had a little drink of but stuck with my freshly squeezed orange juice which they did fresh every morning in the pool bar and also made some at the bar for the night we also went for Frozen Yogurt at a place called Froo Yoo it was lovely this was on the strip which was just outside the hotel which had different bars and places to eat and little shops!

Honestly it was the best holiday I have ever been on and the staff at the hotel could not do enough for you and we will be going back next year and we are booking next week so that we can go at the same time and maybe next time I  might not be coming back on the plane to England I might be stopping in Cyprus if they offer me that job which I will adore.The hotel was beautiful and the staff again were lovely and I recommend the Sunrise Beach Hotel if you ever take a trip to Cyprus☀

I would love to know what your favourite place to go on holiday is? Also there will be more holiday related posts off me coming very soon as I have all the time in the world know so more posts regularly!

Hair Accessories...

Hair Bows...

I love to wear hair bows all year round (thanks to MacBarbie07 CHANNEL) but especially in summer when the bright and pastel clothes come out to match. Here is my collection and 3 ideas of how you can wear them. Also I'm sorry for not knowing where I brought some of them from. 

Lets start with the biggest one. This bright pink bow is really quite big (as you will see at the end) and was just £1!! It was from a cheap shop in the Walsall shopping center called Impulse. I had it as part of a costume for my dance show last week but have worn it a few times since because its such a nice bright, summery shade of pink.

Clips

Bobbles

These 2 lots of bows are ones which I bought when 1 went on holiday at the beginning of June to Spain. The top ones were from a 'Chinese shop' which was opposite our hotel and were about €1.25 for a pack of 2. Theses ones are really pretty pastel colours and the blue ones match our school uniform really well so i use them for school almost every day. They are also on really good clips that stay put all day. The bottom ones were also from a 'Chinese shop' called Super Euro and were €1 each. They are on bobbles so I use them to make a pony tail look more like you've tried with it and look really good in front of a bun too. We dont seem to get bows on bobbles in England from what I'v seen when iv looked so I wish is gotten some more while I was there.

These were the first pack of bows I owned and were brought for me a few years ago. I don't know how much they are but for some reason I have a feeling they are from George at ASDA? These are on grips and don't stay in my hair very well and move around quite a lot but they are really nice colours and designs. The red one is also a nice one for the Christmas period.

I love theses bows. They are such a nice girly colour and are perfect for summer. They were about £3 from New Look I think? I had these to wear for a wedding reception because they matched the pattern on my dress perfectly! (Dress is the background on THIS post). They are only small so also look nice on holiday around the pool.

My mom bought me these just a few weeks ago from Peacocks. They are good for the money because they were just £2.50 for all 3. The patterns are pretty and are just the right size but the clip isn't very strong so don't feel secure and I feel I keep needing to check they haven't moved but they usually have. 

How to wear...

Here are 3 simple ways that I like to wear bows.

Doughnut bun 

2 front pieces pulled back

Finish a Fishtail Braid
