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!

Wish List...

Hello, With it being Christmas and getting money for things I want I have had a few things in mind and don't really have a spare £2,000 hanging around so a girl can dream right?! I have put together a some things that I wish I can go and buy I mean I can go and get all my money out the bank and buy them but then I would be broke so for the mean time lets dream... I think I'm turning in to a shopaholic but lets dismiss that;)



Wish List......

Coat.....
This coat is from Topshop and is a lovely it's classed as the Boiled Wool Skirted Coat with a peter pan collar which just made me want it more! The colour is cream and hopefully I might buy it with my money from christmas it will look perfect with a dress and black tights when it's cold and it will also be perfect with just a pair of jeans and some small ankle boots.

Bag.....
This bag is PERFECT! Its a Kate Spade bag classed as the New York Cedar Street Maise in the colour pink! This is want I'm trying to save up for at the moment, I think it would be perfect for when I finish year 11 and take it to sixth form or college as my daily bag but also use it for everyday use! Its just a shoulder bag and I think the shape is to die for! Kate Spade has some lovely things and I can't stop looking at her website!

Bracelet....
On christmas day I got a Michael Kors Necklace which is gorgeous and I saw in Vogue a model wearing the same necklace as me and also this perfect bracelet it will go perfect with my necklace and my watch which makes me want it even more:( I did have a Selfridges gift voucher for Christmas but that might go towards my bag however this is classed as the 


Lounge Wear.....
While I have been watching Big Brother I have saw Sam from TOWIE wearing these WildFox Pjays and I think they are beautiful they are like ruffled at the bottom and have this smiley face on them! I think they are beautiful and the come in two different colours pink and black and obviously I will have to go for the pink!


This post is a little different to what me and Abbie would usually do! But if you like it then comment and we will do a lot more of them!

Well its been a while!.. (I'm sorry). But this is going to be quite a chatty post (If I can call it that?) about Christmas, 2013 and 2014 plans, so here we go!

Christmas

I was very lucky again this Christmas and got everything I asked for and more. One of my main presents was my new 'big girl camera' as Sprinkle of Glitter would call it! I was so happy to see this and my pictures should be a better quality as soon as i work out how to use it properly...

I did take pictures of my Christmas Day outfit but I was still getting used to this new camera and must of accidentally deleted them... oops! 

2013

I decided to do a year jar last year. A year jar is basically just a jar where you can keep little notes of what you do through the year and you can look back at the memories at the end of the year. Iv got my 2014 year jar quickly filling and I would highly recommend this to everyone! Its great to keep the notes after as well and you can look back at any time. I'm going to share some of the things in my jar with you now.

2014 Plans

2014 is going to be a bid year for me and Alicia as we are in year 11 so its the year of exams and stress! So in 2014 I hope most of all to do well and get my target grade in all subjects exams, and choose the right sixth form for September. I also want to get to the right level with my dancing to be able to consider it as a possible career option. I have already started this one by starting a new dance school which I have loved! We also hope to get a more regular upload schedule for this blog as we have been slacking a bit lately, but I'v got a better camera and a Kirstie Allsopp notebook (because she seems like an organised person right?) so LETS DO THIS! Some things I have planned are, on the 25th-26th January I'm going to London and to see Billy Elliot which I cant wait for and on the 28th January I'm going to be 16!(10 DAYS WOOP!) I am also going to see 5 Seconds of Summer again on 2nd March, am dancing in my schools production of Oliver 3rd-7th March and I'm going to see One Direction on 31st May at Manchester Etihad Stadium! 

I'm now going to start planning my next blog post in my new note book so you don't have to wait ages for it, and finish watching High School Musical 2... Don't you just love Disney Channel? And 2 hours of Zac Efron? YES PLEASE!

Christmas Dayyyyyyy

Christmas was amazing this year I was a very lucky girl and had a great time with my family. We watched movies all day I me and my brother got up at 8:30 yes yes we are older now but still get excited! My presents this year were mostly makeup related fashion related and little things that have little jokes behind them! The one thing I got which I loved and haven't stopped using is my Naked 3 Palette its amazing and I really recommend it, its going to be my next blog post and I will be showing what my favourite colours are and what I wear and how its different to the others. Christmas was filled with food and family and also my Uncles christmas quiz which went on for hours and I didn't even win!

Boxing Dayyyyyy

On boxing day we always go to my dads mom and dad in the afternoon for another christmas dinner which went really quickly this year and was also really strange due to my brother being at work and then on the afternoon we always go to my moms dad and moms for tea which consists of little nibbles as I like to call it and I love it! I think its lovely to spend time with my family as I'm really close to my grandparents and the food that they do is brilliant might I add.

Now I'm going into  heart felt words of what I'm going to try and make 2014 better then 2013, this year is going to be amazing we are leaving school and get to have our prom which me and Abbie are excited for I went to try dresses on to get an idea of how I want to have it made and its perfect!

Just you wait for the posts about our prom its going to be amazing we will show you our dresses our hair and how we got ready for it and a few pictures that we will take when at the venue!

However I didn't now what to blog about but this is just a short post about what Christmas was like and the next few blog posts will be my Eyebrow routine and a Naked Palette Review!

Thank you

Christmas Nails ♡

If you have read any of my previous posts you will probably know that I am obsessed with painting my nails and anything that sparkles! So Christmas nails are obviously my favorite. Here are the nails I have gone for this year. I love these nails on there own or they will also look good as a base for Christmas theme nail art. 

I used the Angelica Top Coat which is not pictured but is defiantly necessary with such a bold colour because your nails will be stained if you don't use one. The red is from the Avon nailwear pro + collection and is the shade Red Bombshell and the glitter is Rimmel Rock your Colour glitter top coat which is called 002 Disco Gold. I'm not going to use a clear top coat because if there are too many layers of nail polish it will easily come off and the glitter says it is a top coat anyway.

Sorry it's been so long since our last post but me and  Alicia have been busy with school do now that we have broken up for 2 weeks (WOOP!) there should be more posts including some festive fashion OOTD's from me. Also hopefully I'll be getting a better camera for Christmas so I will be posting more regularly from the new year. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Super Simple Makeup ♡

As I may have mentioned in a previous post I have horribly dry but oily and spot prone skin. But recently I think I have found a skin care routine that is actually working (touch wood) so I haven't been wearing much makeup purely because for the fist time in what feels like forever I actually don't need to! So this is makeup I'v been wearing to school and because I do a lot of dance this is the makeup that I always wear for that regardless of what my skin decides its doing because it always stays put. 

First I put concealer under my eyes, on any redness and on spots and blemishes. I use the much loved Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer because it has great coverage, isn't heavy at all and stays all day. I set that with the Avon Colour Trend Translucent Powder which is my favourite because its translucent so doesn't make your face look powdery and helps keep the concealer in place. Even when I'm just dancing I do like to fill in my eyebrows because they never look very full unless I'v just had them threaded. I use the Models Prefer Eyebrow Pencil and I literally fill in as little as possible or else it takes a while for me to get them even. For school I do also run my clear mascara through my brows to keep them neat. For my eyes I only wear mascara. I love the Models Own Hi-Definer Lashed-Up Volumiser Mascara in black because it reminds me of my favourite Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara which I do wear sometimes but the Models Own one is just as good and a lot cheaper! WIN! I only use that on my top lashes and I use the Avon Crystal Clear Mascara (I know it doesn't look clear but sometimes I use it over black mascara so that's why) on my bottom lashes. This prevents any mascara getting under your eyes through out the day and is a great thing to do if your going to be doing any exercise. Lastly I just use a Maybeline BabyLips lip balm on my lips. My favourite at the minute is the shimmery Peach Kiss but I also love Pink Punch. 

I know we keep saying it but now all our exams for the year are done fingers crossed me and Alicia can post more regularly and I cant wait to start Christmas posts! I might do a skin care post next because as I mentioned I actually found one that works!

October Favourites❤

YES Im back! Me and Abbie are back, we have been very busy lately with revising and maths and english exams! but finally we are back on track and have very little homework to complete! So back to the post! I managed to pick out some of my october favourites yes I know im late but who cares.... So this post is just basically what I have loved in the october month! Lets get started

Beauty:

1) Nivea Daily Essentials- Refreshing Cleansing Mousse
  This has been my life saver all though the month of October! I have been so tired on a night that I have been ditching my normal skin care routine and have just been taking my makeup off with my makeup wipes and then have been getting hot water squirting this in to my hand and then just moisturising this in to my face and its honestly worked. It just comes out as a foam and you just run the hot water on it the apply to the face! It has left my face feeling really fresh and soft!  

Nivea: Cleansing Mousse

2) Maybelline Eraser Eye
    This has also been my life saver as I have been worn out and tired with all these exams           so I havent been sleeping as well as normal so what appears?! Thats right dark circles.... I know this says anti-age but it works on anybody face old or young! This covers all my dark circles and usually I apply it with my beauty blender and then just set it with my powder and bam you're done!

Eraser Eye-Maybelline 

3) Mac Studio Moisture Tint-Light 
    This has always been my go to tinted moisture and in the month of october I have       gone back to this as I was using the Maybelline-Dream BB but I found this was getting very heavy and making my face dry so I stopped using it and went back to my old faithful! Tinted Moistures are honestly the best as I never wear foundation I always wear BB Creams or Tinted Moistures so If you ever what great coverage then I recommend the Mac Tinted Moisturiser.

Mac- Tinted Moisturiser 

4) Lancome-Hypnose Doll Eyes
    This is my all time favourite mascara from Lancome which I never shop at for makeup but this is the most perfect mascara ever! And I brought it at duty free in Cyprus, It was limited edition so you probably will not be able to buy it anymore which im really sad about because when it runs out I don't know what im going to do! It has never gone clumpy and stays one forever im not even joking!

Lancome-Limited Edition Mascara 

5) Benefit- Speed Brow

    I must say that my eyebrows have been out of control alot at the moment so I did invest in the Benefit speed brow gel which tints you're eyebrows but also keeps them in place so this has been working a trick for me as its 2 in 1! I havent had to fill my eyebrows in like I used to because this adds colour but also keeps them in place so its perfect its quicker in the morning as well so I defiantly recommend this! 

Benefit-Speed Brow

Hair Care:

1) Babyliss Pro-Stylist Tool
   Only one thing for hair tools as this is the only thing that is new over the october month and also what I have been using non stop! My mom invested in this as she wanted to start curling her hair alot more and our hairdresser recommended this to us so we brought it from beautybay and it arrived and we have been using it non stop! It adds these nice flowy curls to you're hair and they stop in all day! I will normally just add a few curls to my hair with this in a morning even though my natural hair is curly I just like to add more curls to make it look new again! 

Babyliss Pro curlers

done in sections.

Fashion:

1)Super Cosy-Black Fleecy Tights
   Since I have been wearing dresses with my chelsea boots and just ankle boots and my fluffy 'Princess Coat' I brought some new tights as mine are old and too big for me! So I was just shopping in Primark having a look around and saw these tights which are jet black and are super cosy I thought wow bet they are nice and as I walked closer I saw that these tights had a fleecy lining I MEAN WHAT?! OMG so I just chucked them in to the basket and here they are!

Black Tights-Primark 

2) SWEATER WEATHER:
   So recently i have been buying and wearing loads of jumper and watching beauty gurus on youtube has made me want to buy more so every time I go shopping to Topshop, Forever 21, Primark etc i have to look at the jumpers and there is all sorts of different kinds so yes I have been buying them and I can't even tell you how many I have got and where I have got them from but here is just a few that I have brought.

Cream Jumper-Forever 21
Black Jumper- Primark
Blue Jumper-Topshop

Thank you for reading and me and Abbie are so sorry that there has been hardly any post but we should be back with it know! And my lookbook is on its way with some outfits that you can wear everyday but still be warm! Bye
