So, I was reading through my comments on my blog post and notice that I had been nominated for the Liebster Award by both Tiffany - http://tiffanys-balderdash.blogspot.co.uk and Zara - http://zarakate.blogspot.ie/ and I want to say a HUGE thankyou as this is my first award nomination so I'm super excited. I will be answering 6 of Tiffany's and 5 of Zara's.

 
The rules are as followed : 
  • You must answer all 11 questions given to you by the person who nominated you.
  • You must link back to the person that nominated you.
  • After completing these questions you must nominate 11 bloggers (with under 200 followers) and give them 11 questions of your choice.
  • You can not nominate the person who nominated you.

You must let your nominees know that they have been nominated and provide a link to your post so that they can learn about it.
 
Tiffany's Questions:
 
1. What is your favourite film and why?
 
My favourite film is 'The Parent Trap' because I love Lindsay Lohan and I think it was really clever how they duplicated her to make her twin.
 

2. What 3 things would you take with you on a desert island?
 
I would take my makeup bag, as I literally couldn't live without it, I would also take a friend as I would need some company, and the last thing I would take it is sun cream because I burn like crazy (and that wouldn't be fun).
 
3. If your life was like a movie, which movie would you chose it to be like?
 
This may sound weird but I would choose 'High School Musical' just because they seem to have so much fun at school and they have so many good friends around them, and I would love to have that.
 
4. Who is your favourite Disney Princess and why?
 
My favourite Disney Princess is Ariel, because she's a mermaid, and she gets to live in the sea (I love the sea) and have all her fishy friends.
 
5. Is there a time in your life you would change?
 
Oh my, yes definitely, I have done a lot of bad things in my past that I am no way happy about, and it has affected my friends and family and I have to suffer to consequences. So the answer is a big fat YES.
 
6. If you could change 3 things about your personality what would they be?
 
I would change my paranoia, I feel judged by everyone and it has effect on things I do, Next would be attitude towards things, I would say I can be quite negative before I've tried things. Lastly would be my confidence, that is a department I seriously LACK in.
 
Zara's Questions:
 
7. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?
 
I would choose to live in America, because I would love to have warmth nearly all year round, also because I would have a higher chance of bumping into Cody Simpson and getting married:) 
 
8. Who is your ultimate style inspiration?
 
I would have to say Zoella (Zoe Suggs) just because she has so much confidence in what she wears and she just rocks anything and everything.
 
9. What book had a lasting effect on you?
 
I would say TFIOS just because it made me realise how short life is, and that you should live everyday like its your last. Don't worry about little silly things and just enjoy the fact you have been given a life to live.
 
10. What clothing item or accessory could you not live without?
 
I could not live without is skinny jeans, oh my god! if there were no skinny jeans I don't know what I could do. I HATE leggings, so I would have to walk around in my pjs;)
 
11. What era should you have grown up in?
 
That's easy! definitely the 50's or 60's the style back then was amazing, the girls all looked so well groomed and feminine. I also love the music that was then, easily inspired by grease.
 
So I want to say a massive thankyou to Tiffany and Zara, I'm sorry I didn't answer ALL of both of yours, but I didn't want the post to be too long.

Natural Collection Moisture Shine in Pink Mallow - £1.99
Seventeen Lasting Fix in Hawaii Pink - £4.65
Rimmel London Kate Moss in 110 - £3.99?
Avon in Rose Ribbons - FREE!

I've really wanted to talk about my favourite 4 lipsticks this year, so here I am, and I hope you enjoy my picks for this year.
I've only recently started getting into wearing lipsticks as I never really used to before, but I've got a few (shown above) that are my particular favourites.
The first lipstick is the Natural Collection Moisture Shine lipstick in the colour Pink Mallow, now this is amazing, its cheap for starters but it also glides nicely over your lips giving you a full colour as well as moisturising your lips at the same time. Its a handy size, easier to apply when on the go.
Up next is the Seventeen Lasting Fix lipstick in the colour Hawaii Pink, again this lipstick is easy to apply and carry round, this lipstick is super pigmented and gives you a fully, striking colour, so if your looking for a neutral, subtle colour, I wouldn't recommend this for you. This lipstick comes in at a little more expensive but definitely worth every penny.
Now we have the Rimmel London Kate Moss lipstick in 110. This is a bold, bright red that is very eye catching and gives your lips a full look. I wasn't 100% sure on the price as I got this a while ago, but it is roughly £3.99. This lipstick is perfect for those who want to make a statement.
Lastly, we have the Avon lipstick in Rose Ribbons, now I actually got this for free, as myself and my sister were sent one from the company. This lipstick is a marbled colour giving you a range of tones and highlights once applied. Again I don't know the price for this, but I don't think it is that expensive.
These are my favourite 4 lipsticks and if my descriptions above suit you then I definitely recommend them for you. I like to change my lipsticks up, so everyday is a new day:) I hope you enjoyed my views on these lipsticks! and I'll see you guys soon.
What's your favourite lipsticks? Am I missing any good ones?

So, recently I have been really into Ariana Grande and how she dresses and does her hair, and I have noticed that there is one hairstyle that is VERY popular, so I asked on my instagram if you wanted a tutorial blog post and you said yes, so here it is.






Step 1: first you need to section off your hair into a high ponytail, now the amount of hair depends on the thickness of your hair. For me my hair is thick and long so I took more of it up into the ponytail. (leave your hair as natural a possible as this will help when it comes to curling it).


Step 2: once you've gathered the amount of hair you want, fasten this with a hair tie, again the type of hair tie depends on the thickness of your hair. (I have quite a thick hairband).

As you can see I have placed the ponytail, high up on my head and it helps keep the top neat as well as making the curls look longer and more precise.

Step 3: Now its time to curl your hair. I always start with the ponytail as I find its easier, but its up to you how you want to do it. So first you need to section out your hair into small (ish) parts, this will make the curls more defined.



As you can see, I am curling the hair round the wand nearer the smaller end, so the curls are tighter. Hold each section for around 45 seconds (don't do it too long or you'll burn and damage your hair).

Step 4: Once you have curled all the ponytail it should look something like this:

You now need to spray all over with a hairspray, getting quite close so the curls will hold throughout the day. As you can see I have used the 'VO5 strong hold', but any hairspray will do.


 Step 5: Now you need to curl the rest of you hair, again repeat the steps above, by taking small sections and curling. (Make sure to use hairspray once finished).

Once you have finished it should look something like this:

Now you can adjust and redo any bits, as well as adding some ribbon or bows or even flowers. Or you can simply leave it like I did. The finishing product should look like below:

I really hoped you enjoyed this tutorial as I enjoyed making it so much. Leave some comments below on what you thought and anything you would like to see mepost.

love you xxxxxxxx

Not everyone has lots of money to spend on everyday makeup, I know I don't! So I thought I would post a few items that I use that all cost under £10. There are other makeup brands and products out there but I've chosen what I use and what I find the best.

Lets start with foundation. So I've selected the 'Dream Matte Mousse' by Maybelline. This comes in a mousse/spongy form, that cost around £8. This foundation is easy to apply and remove and gives you a full coverage without using too much. This foundation lasts long for myself because of its pigmentation it means that you don't have to use a lot, which means you get more for your money.

The next makeup item is the 'Simple Eye shadow Palette' by Beauty UK. Now this palette has a range of colours, it has: 2 browns, a golden colour, white, blue, purple, pink, grey, green, and a deeper green. This palette allows you to create many different looks using only one selection. This palette was around £4.50-£5. They do have a selection of different ones including different colours, its all just down to your preference.

The next essential makeup product I have is 3 different types of mascara. In my opinion a good mascara can make or break a look. Sometimes you don't want a heavy look and other times you do. The first one I have for you in the 'Studio Lash Instant Volume' by Miss Sporty(the pink one). This really does what it says on the label, it gives your lashes a longer more voluminous look, INSTANTLY! this cost £2.99. The next mascara is the 'Fabulous Lash' by Miss Sporty(the black one) as well. This is more of a subtle mascara that applies a thin layer almost natural looking, and this was £2.99 as well. The Last mascara I have is the 'Waterproof and Long Lash' by Natural Collection. Now if you looking for a basic mascara that just makes your lashes darker and more defined then this is the one for you! its basic and simple, and doesn't do much more then what it says. It is also SUPER cheap coming in at only £1.99!

Next there is a simple, basic eyeliner pencil by Miss Sporty and this was £1.99. It has a roller edge allowing you to expose more of the liner. This glides on smoothly and comes off easily. However, this does smudge quite a bit, so I recommend spraying hairspray on top(not too close to your face) and this will hold it for longer.

Now, there is a MUA bronzer that was £2.99. Its in the medium shade and is a hard powdered form. This does come up VERY dark, so even if it doesn't look that dark in the container, it does on skin! This holds all day giving you a more defined cheekbones, or can even just be used to give you a bit of colour.

The LAST item I have for you is the 'Rosy Pink Blusher' by Miss Sporty. This is as basic as a blusher gets. It gives you pinker, fuller looking cheeks and that's it. A blusher is a blusher and that's it. I like the colour of this one as it sets off my pale skin tone. This was only £1.99.

So I hope I've shared with you all the good makeup products that are under £10! Cheap makeup can be just as good as something expensive, so try them out first and see how it works.

Thankyou for reading my lovelies xxxx

Sometimes finding the perfect outfit for a night out is impossible! you find a top you like but can't find the right skirt? no worries... I've come up with an outfit that doesn't only look amazing but is also affordable.

First, I've started with a simple black crop top. This is from Topshop and was only £8! it comes in a variety of sizes and colours, I chose black because it ties in nicely with the rest of the outfit. The low cut neckline puts emphasis on the cleavage giving you a wild and party style look. The thin spaghetti style straps give a almost unnoticeable look but still holds the top securely onto yourself.

The skirt itself is made from a stiff, strong material that ensures no creases throughout the night and also after washing. This skirt is from H&M and was £7.99 which is an amazing deal for a decent skirt. The skirts pattern is a black and white Aztec that appear horizontal giving you a slimming and fitted look. The skirt is done up using a small, almost unnoticeable zip at the back, that allows you to remove and put on easily.

I've added a splash of subtle colour through the clutch bag and shoes. They are both a neutral pink/cream colour. The bag is from Newlook and cost £12.99. This is a great price as this bag is very versatile by having a chained strap, that can be used of simply tucked inside. The sandals are from Accessorize and were only £4!! they are matching colour to the bag and have small buckles at the side. These help secure the shoes to your feet. On the front the detailing is pink/cream gems that are on the strap that go between your toes.

This outfit is perfect for a day out, a night out or even just a summer casual wear. Its AFFORDABLE and FABULOUS!

Thankyou for checking out my blog, I will be posting again shortly. Please leave some comments below on what you thought and what you would like to see. Also give it a like and follow me on 'Bloglovin' by simply clicking the link at the side.
