Everyday School Make Up- Spring Edition



Hello guys, hope you all are having a great spring and Easter. I do apologize for the lack of posts lately I will try to make up for it. But anyway, today I will be sharing with you my make up routine in the morning before I go to school. So let's get started!


To get started I will go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. After I have finished this, I will put on some moisturizer because it is important to stay hydrated, especially when you are going to out all day. When the moisturizer has been absorbed into my skin I will start of with putting some concealer around my face to cover up any imperfection such as: discoloration or blemishes using the Natural Collection CoverUp Cream concealer then I will blend it. I will normally go to school with just some concealer if I am having a good skin day, just so it gives me a bit of coverage and confidence. However, if I do have any break outs or bigger blemishes I will go over the top with some foundation. I use the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation this gives me a medium coverage and it makes me look a bit more alive! As like any teenager we don't always have that awesome skin like in movies.


When the base is done I will go over with some blush or bronzer depending how I look like. I normally use the MUA blush in 'Lolly' or the MUA bronzer in 'Shade 3', which just put some colours back into my face. When all of the face products are finished I move onto the eyes, which I only put on some mascara, liquid eyeliner and I will do my brows. The products I use are; Seventeen Precision Eyeliner Pen, Natural Collection LashBuild Mascara and the Maybelline Master Precise Brow Pencil.



The last thing I do is to moisturize my lips because they tend to be very dry in every single season and I use the Baby Lips in 'Hydrate', which is my favourite lip balm from their entire collection.


So that's it guys. I don't put a lot of make up on due to the reason I like my make up to look as natural as possible and at my school we are not allowed as much make up. Hopefully you guys enjoyed this post and I would like you guys to go and check my friends blogs because they are pretty amazing and they would absolutely love the support! Thanks and see you next time and have an amazing Easter.

TopShop Fashion Show

Hello my people! This is a colaborative post with my friend Loren Kerry (A.K.A. http://lovewriteandphotograph.blogspot.co.uk please check out her blog to!) about the 'TopShop Fashion Show'. Well, we all know what happens during a fashion show, lots of a list celebrities turn up looking their best, and they watch beautiful models walk down a catwalk wearing extravagant pieces of clothing.

At this years TopShop fashion show during London fashion week, it was some of the same. This year the show took place at Tate Moderns Turbine Hall, and there was a large turnout. All of the clothing was colour coordinated and the colours were widely spread.


This picture of these 3 girls, are showing off the new line of coats, one full fur, one half fur and the other with no fur (right to left). Personally, I think that fur is a large concern for debate in the fashion world, whether its real or not and I don't really think its practical, (not for this weather), but it looks very nice and is most probably very warm.

A lot of the fashion for this event was made particularly for the weather, the cold winters, so the main theme was layers and simple colours, such as black, beige and blue. There were a lot of long clothes to, to keep you warm all the way down to your ankles. The jumpers and the coats, are all embelished with very intricate designs, to make the practical more pretty. They have also taken thicker fabrics for the jackets and layered them over dresses, to make them more inovative and fresh for the new scene.


Many of the coats and jackets are oversized, not just because the models are really small but because the aim was to make clothes specifically for winter and also to be fashion foward. The blue and green coats bring a younger and fresher feel to the event whilst the blacks bring a more mature and sophisticated feel.

The blue brings a bit of colour with it in this show, as the accessories and embelishments where the aim, the blue gives a new platform for the accesories to work of. The over sized coats bring a lazy essence to the show and the pinafore dress brings a young and more modern feel to the show. The last picture in the second column personally has to be my favorite outfit of the show, the use of layering with the large coat works really well together.


The beiges and the greens bring colour to the dismal winter colours. They remind us that spring is not that far away. The bold prints and the different layers or colours bring a youthful feel to the outfits. The blacks and the embelishments add sophisication and maturity to the outfits. The bright accesories add flare and style to the outfits.

This years fashion show for TopShop I think has been a sucess, I hope you agree with me and don't forget to read here, for top tips and news. Thank you! See you all next time!

March Favourites

Hello guys, hope you all are having an amazing time. So yeah I know this post is a tiny little bit late, and I do apologize but I've been quite busy with school work and work in general. Hope you guys can forgive me. But anyways this month I haven't been trying out new things. However, I started using products I had but stopped using them for some reason. This is my first ever favourites post but tell me if there are any specific things you people would like me to try.

Starting with fragrances I have been loving 'Daisy' by Mark Jacobs. As this blog progresses you will know that my favoutite flowers are daisies because they just smell nice and fresh and it is also very, very girly. However, if it wasn't for my friend I would never have tried this perfume but now that I have done it I am in love with, and you guys should try it!

Going into skincare now, I always find it really hard to find the perfect product that will do the job. However, some time ago I've purchased the Clean and Clear Exfoliating Daily wash, which for some reason I stopped using it. Such a shame! But recently I've gotten back on track on using this product. The only thing I would complain about it it can be a bit rough in you skin but apart from that this product will always be incorporated on my skincare routine.Also from Clean and Clear I am using the Blackhead Clearing Cleanser, which for me is just like a make up remover, but not for the eyes. It does a two jobs in one go, meaning it saves me time in the morning and afternoon. Sticking to skincare, at the moment I've been using the Avon Clear Skin- Pore Penetrating Black Mineral Mask. This is just goodness on your face. A lot of bloggers that review this product tend to compare this to the Origins Mineral Mask,I have never tried it but if is anything that this product I will certainly buy it!

Make up wise I've been loving only one product from Maybelline which is the 'Colour Tattoo 24HR'. This product is the best cream eyeshadow I have ever tried.I have the colour 'on and on bronze', which is an amazing bronze colour that can be worn anytime of the day. You could also create a kind of a smokey eye effect with it, which you don't normally see that on cream shadows. So yeah,i would definitely recommend this product!

So that is it guys! I know this is one of the shortest posts that I have done but I seriously haven't been trying anything new and exciting, but I try to go shopping this month and see if I can find anything cool to try it out!! Thanks for reading guys, that means a lot to me, and I will be starting a YouTube Channel soon so stay tuned to see what is going to happen...Have an amazing Easter and I will see whether I can make another post just before Easter on some DIY  ideas. Bye have a great week!!
