Somewhat Summary - Sunday

I've been really enjoying this segment on other peoples blogs, so I hope you don't mind but I thought I'd do it to.

one - This is me and my little cousin, I dragged her to come and see Justin Biebers Film - Never Say Never, In 3D may I add! All you haters of him will not understand our love because well he's amazing <3   Anyway.. It was lovely to spend the day with her and we had a really nice time.
two - I've really been loving 'Shopping My Stash' this week as I mentioned in a post earlier, and these are some beauties that I've come across - MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation, Mac Cremesheen Glass in Richer,Lusher, Elf Blushing and Bronzing Palette, Elf Tickled Pink Blush, Bourjois Bronzer in 52.
three- I feel as though there has been lots of videos/posts in the past few weeks on how to make things so I did make some bits. In the picture you'll see my homemade lipbalm/lipgloss and my homemade eyeprimer. Also I have two of those tins that you get with the bodyform sanitary pads, so I made my own little makeup palettes with the natural collection blushes and eyeshadows that I had lying around. The other thing you can see is just magnetic strips (:
four - I went to london, as per usual on school holidays and I've decided I want to live there when I'm older. I know I'm only 15, but I'm looking into universities and am really interested in the London Collage Of Fashion, If any of you go or have gone to that uni - could you let me know what it's like? Oh and we also shopped, again as per usual! I picked up some bits from topshop, jack wills and needed some bits from MAC. I'm really pleased with the bits I got to be honest!
five - I've spent a lot of time with my family this week and it really has been nice, I usually spend a lot of time with them anyway as I'm really close to them. We had some family friends down on wednesday and that was really nice, because I'm really close to them all. We go on holiday together and we see each other quite often, but it's always nice  to see them again, as I could put my life in one of their arms and know that It would be okay <3

Thanks for reading my ramble their and sorry that my last two 'things' didn't have pictures!

Love you!

A Way To Save Some Money?

How are you all doing this evening?   I've taken a little break from my science revision, to share with you all something that I've been doing to save myself some money recently (:


The first thing is something that's really helped, and this is keeping a wish list on my macbook and on paper of makeup and clothes that I want. Basically, with me I find that if I go into boots to, lets say pick up some shampoo, and there is offers on with makeup, I'll 99.9% of the time buy something even though I know I shouldn't. Then I'll get home and end up with something that I kind of didn't even want. Now, I've come up with a list of "higher-end" makeup that I want: 

Nars Orgasm Blush

Nars Laguna Bronzer

Nars Sex Appeal Blush

Nars Deep Throat Blush 

Nars Dolce Vita Blush

Nars Torrid Blush

Nars Amour Blush

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation/ Nars Sheer Matte Foundation in Fuji

Nars Powder Foundation in Fuji

MAC Peaches Blush

MAC Well Dressed Blush

MAC Twinks Eyeshadow 

MAC Patina Eyeshadow 

MAC Hue Lipstick

MAC Creme Du Nude Lipstick

MAC Blankety Lipstick

MAC Angel Lipstick

MAC MSFN in Light/Medium   - GOT IT

MAC Studio Fix Powder - GOT IT

MAC Studio Finish Concealer - GOT IT

Benefit Boi-ing Concealer in 01

Benefit Erase Paste in 01

Coastal Scents 10 Colour Blush Palette 

Coastal Scents 88 Shimmer Palette 

Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette

This seems to have helped me, as now when I visit boots or superdrug, I don't pick things up that I don't need. Because, the money that I would have spent on those bits will then go to the things on my wishlist (:   

As you can see above, there is three things that I have purchased.

For some of you, It may seem such a silly way to save money but it gives me a real sense of achievement when I can cross something off of my list! 

My next method that I've been using is one that you've probably heard of - Shopping my stash! 

I've just uploaded my makeup collection video onto my youtube ( you can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0To-Dm8RsFE )  and well, once I watched it back, It really sank in how much of the makeup I don't use enough! So I've been going through my 'Stash' and each day trying to use something different on my face and for me, I've re-descovered some beauties (:  

Hope you all found this helpful!

Update

Hello to all my beautiful followers and to anyone else who is about to read this ramble of writing. I feel as though I need to update you all on what's been going on with my blog as to be honest, since 2011 has begun I have completely neglected it. 
-My first reason is that I have got my YouTube up and running properly and have been putting up videos at least three times a week, so that has taken up a big chunk of my time. 
-My second reason is that school and revising for silly exams is just getting stupid, and literally after this exam is over I never want to hear the word Biology ever again!!  
-and Thirdly..  I've not really had much inspiration, nothing really to blog about. If I love a product, I've mentioned it in a video, and as I know that some of you read my blog as well as watch my YouTube, that would be pretty boring for you all:/     


I've come across a few beauty blogs in the past few months that have been not posting as regularly or have even stopped blogging completely (Lollipop26 - Come Back Pleaseee!) I just feel as though, everyone is trying to blog about the same product and I know that if I read three reviews on one thing, thats enough to make up my mind on whether to buy it or not. I don't need to read fifty-four of them!   


I'm not going to blab on and on about the beauty community dying or anything like that as I still love it dearly and don't think it's anyway near its way out of any of our lives!   
I was basically wondering, would you all mind if I do 'off-the task' posts. Meaning they aren't completely about just makeup and beauty products. I feel as though, I've been enjoying posts that people do that are basically just about what they've done that week and what's been going on with them. I know it's being nosey, but aren't we all! Anyway.. So as I've been enjoying those posts the most, I now want to write more posts like that.


Thank you for any of you that have read till now!    
If any of you could let me know whether you'd mind posts such as, what I mentioned above then could you all let me know in the comments down below (: ?  


I love you all dearly and thank you for supporting me.

What I did This Christmas Time...

This year was one of my favourite christmases so far! Every year, I spend christmas day with my dad + his family and boxing day with my mum + her family. So this year, I woke up at mums so we could open our presents and then went to dads later on and opened presents at his - I'll let you know what I got in a christmas haul post which will most likely be up tomorrow. Then all my dad's family came round and we had a lovely christmas dinner with creme brule for dessert. We then opened all the family presents and had a go on rockband on the wii as usual, with my very bad singing to accompany it! After that, we had some turkey sandwiches and chocolate as that is a normal thing to do in our family! I headed off to bed at about eleven after having a play around with the bits I got. 


The next day was boxing day and to me, the two days role into one because one is spent with mum and the other with dad and to me they are both equally important and special. I went to mum's at twenty past eleven to be precise! We then headed off to a local restaurant to have a meal with the whole eighteen of us! I have many cousins, but my (shh.. favourite) one came over from australia and we get on amazingly well, so as he was there we got to have a major catch up! We then went off to my aunties for the rest of the day as we usually do and played just dance two on the wii(I'm going to have to get that, it's so good! - I've got it now!) Me and my "favourite" cousin, had a dance off on that game, and I totally owned him, LOL!   Then we just chilled out and had a bit of something for tea and it was pretty yummy. Oh, and so was pudding! - Chocolate Yule Log.. Mmmmm! :) For the rest of the night.. we had more dance off's on just dance two and I again, totally owned everyone- to be totally honest, haha!


On monday we had a re-play of boxing day! We went sledging in the morning with everyone and that was really cool, but then we got all chilly and headed for costa- the best decision ever! I had a creme brule latte and a caramel shortbread (it's christmas-  i can be naughty!) Then we went home and played on guess what... just dance 2!  It was a great night and later on, all my aunties and my mum asked me to do their eye make-up which was really cool, on two of them I had to do a dramatic eye, and an everyday look on the other two which was really good and they all loved their looks afterwards (: My little cousins also wanted to join in on the action and I did their eyes too! 


Sorry this hasn't been a very beauty related post but I've been reading a few posts like this one and thought they were really nice as I like to see what other people do at christmas time! 
Let me know, what you do?

It's Just So Classy

Is it just me or does everyone feel this way?
There is something extremely classy about a cold day,-preferably snow on the ground- and a take-away coffee cup in the hands of a woman?





I just think it is so ultra classy! I've been having takeaway gingerbread lattes from costa recently and I feel like its something a new-yorker would do as it just makes me feel so powerful!


If i'm talking nonsense then please let me know! But for me this is a good feeling <3 This most probably didn't deserve it's own post but I promise there will be some makeup related posts up this next week. Thank you!

What do you think?

I want your opinions because you're my beautiful followers :)
I've been told that my life is like a book because I have so much going on and from the things I tell my nearest&dearest,they all reply with the same thing of..
I'd want to read that in a book!


So.. I'm not going that far,but yes I am thinking of starting to write a lifestyle blog. With all my daily antics,I think it would be a fun thing to read;)

I would still write for this blog,just as often,but it would slowly become as much of a priority as this one :)
