Halloween!

*cough cough* (dusting off the cobwebs)

Hello all you lovelies!

Now it has literally been months hasn't it?! I'm finally in my own house, all settled, and after a very long five weeks to wait for Internet.... it has finally arrived!

Yay, I can finally start blogging again, and using my Twitter and Instagram more (which I am totally obsessed with by the way).

This is just a quick post today just to get back into the swing of things now that I'm back at work, and college with a baby. Busy bee right? Haha.

I love watching all of the Guru's on YouTube make their amazing Halloween makeup, and usually I just sit and admire and think I am never as good as they are to do my makeup like that!

But this year I was going to a Halloween party, so dressing up is a must! After a long consideration I decided to go with Nicole Guerriero's sugar skull, because I thought its not too bad with the gore and looked fairly simply to do!

After buying some extra makeup and sitting in front of the mirror for about 45 minutes, I was finally done! I will say that it wasn't completely how i would have liked it - my face wasn't as white, and I had to use a white eyeshadow to make my face look paler which was riddled with glitter which, no surprise, didn't really make my skin look its best!

But overall I was really proud at the face I could actually do my makeup and although it wasn't amazing I felt good about it!

And this was the finished result!

(Please ignore the none brushed I'm dead and going with it hair!)

You can watch the Sugar Skull tutorial by Nicole here.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog!

Tropic Face Smooth Polish

Hi everyone!

First few weeks of college - done! Hurraaaaay!

Todays post is a review on Tropic's Face Smooth Bright Exfoliator.

Let me begin by explaining who Tropic are and what they want to achieve!

All of their products are cruelty free, natural, and 100% pure plant extract, and literally all of her products could be eaten (although it's really not recommended!), and every single ingredient is listed on the bottle/tub.

LIFE UPDATE!

Hello again!

So as you may or may not know, I've just very recently started college, let me tell ya, right now, it's just not as hard as what I thought it was going to be! I have a few bits of work to do throughout the week but it's daft little things like making a day to day timetable, or a leaflet! I just can't wait to get into the whole science part of the course! Roll on four more weeks when the that will be starting!! 

Another thing that has happened in my life I hear you ask? I got a house! Yes, finally... my own house! Okay, okay, so it's only a rented a house but in my eyes it's better than nothing, right? It will mean we can finally be a little family together and Maisie can have her own big room because it's a 3 bedroom house! I'm so excited to actually get into the house and get everything decorated the way I've always wanted my house to be! 

Cant't say I'll miss my family because I really will miss everything they do, but at least they are only a few minutes down the road! 

As for Maisie - she is crawling all over the place now! She started crawling nearly two week ago now but she was very wobbly. Now? There's literally no stopping her! Every two minutes I will be up and down because she's crawled out the room or she has gone to the tv! I'm loving every minute of her growing up though, I just wish it would all slow down! She was only a baby for a few months before she started to get big :( haha! 

So that it just a very short update on my life, and with house moving and decorated I hope you all don't mind that for a few weeks or so my blog posts may be all the place and not on a set day!!

Thank you all for reading my blog!

Going To College With A Baby

Hello everyone!

So yep, you guessed it. I'm going to back to college!

I actually passed college when I was 18 with my A-Levels, and I originally wanted to work in a travel agents after working in Spain for a few months. However, the weird thing is - unless you have worked in a travel agents before, it's very difficult to even get a job interview, never mind a job!

My current job is working for Next, where I've been for nearly two years. But let me tell you, after having a baby it sure does put things into perspective about what you need to do with your own life so you can give the best for your baby!

So this is where going back to college comes into it...

I'm going to do a Health course which will hopefully get me to my childhood dream of working for the NHS as a Physiotherapist!

I'm so excited!

Thankfully the college I am going to has offered me a night course which is only two nights a week for three and a half hours a night. My boyfriend has also got onto the course but he is doing the day course, which is three days a week for six hours a day! Killer!

So because Gavin is going back to college his work hours had to be completely changed, but he never works later than 5.30 at night, which means he has the two nights off that I go to college to mind Maisie! 

This is just so much easier than what we were first planning which was for all our family to share Maisie until I could get home to her, but this has worked out so much better!

I'm very excited to start college again, but then again I'm also scared that in the end it might be too much when I have to go back to work at Next, but at least for now I have another two months off, so no complaints just yet! Haha!

Are you going to college/university?

What are you studying!?

Thank you for reading my blog!

Hello to all my lovely followers!

Let's start off by saying sorry for me not posting for roughly 4 weeks now, to start with I was feeling ill, and then I just went into a little slump for no apparent reason and wanted to not really do anything, so so sorry. But I am back now, and ready to blog away!!

So what's this post about?

I have recently been loving the Stylight website and app and I wanted to share it with you all!

No7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Brush

Hello all you gorgeous girls!

Some of you who follow my blog may be aware that it was my birthday a mere two weeks ago, and one of the main presents that was on my list was the Clarisonic.

I know a lot of people rave about this product and how much better it is for the skin because it deep cleans right into those nasty pores, nice! But I really couldn't justify my parents paying £100 for a brush to clean my face, I mean, what if it wasn't for me?!

That's when all my research came in handy as I heard a few people saying that this product was a perfect dupe for people who live in the UK!

What am I talking about you wonder?

Mark Hill Brunette Shampoo and Conditioner

Hello beauties!!
I was given this little shampoo and conditioner set, I think for my birthday last year, and it has literally just been sitting in my shelves full of beauty goodies since then! (whoooops!)

The thing is, I'm a girl who doesn't really like to change my shampoo and conditioner to one that I've never used before because I've had bad experiences where i would have bad build up for days and nothing would get rid of it. Lets be honest, who wants to go through that?!

So once I used up what I was using at the time, I thought why not give it a go? It might work wonders!
