Nails Monday #3!

Hi there! It is Monday so you all know what that means! It's Nails Monday Week Number 3! So today I had to get up at 8 just to return a camera to college on the day that I have off. I went and had some breakfast at Costa. (If you know me that is no surprise at all!) I came home eat half a Lemon Meringue Pie and then slept and started on my nails. The nails I have decided on this week is something that I got from the book The Hunger Games. If you haven't read the Hunger Games I would definitely recommend it but it is a flame design on my nails. I have used the OPI Natural Base Coat, Barry M in the colour 347 in Blood Orange, Barry M in the colour 329 in Mango, Barry M in the colour 329 in B and Nails Inc. in New York Noir. To do this design I have used a Nail Tool.

 

 

 

To start of with I used my Nail Tool to do the red part of the flames. I used the brush end. I started off by doing the outline of the flames. Don't worry if it doesn't look quite right because you can just go back over it with the Black in the next step.

 

 

After I did the red flame part I used the Black Nail Polish to fill in the top part of my nail. I went in between the red flames, corrected any mistakes I made and made it look half presentable seeing as I am not as good at this. I cleaned the brush part of my Nail Tool and used that again.

 

 

After doing this I used the brush part of the Nail Tool again. I dabbed orange and yellow at the bottom of my nail to make it look more like a flame design. I did 2 layers of the Orange and then 1 layer of Yellow and the another layer of Orange on top, so it is all blended in. While each layer of each different colour is partly wet dab on the other colour and then wait til it is partly wet again and do it again. So then it should look like this.

Outfit Of The Week #1!

Hi there! So the week has gone by and I am back at college how sad...It hasn't been the best week for me. You can say oh I've had a bad day today, well this past week has been a bad week for me. So I go to college 4 days a week and a different outfit for each day. So I thought I would show you them all and then choose my favourite and tell you why. So here are my four outfits.

 

So in my outfits they are all very different but I had fun trying new things that I wouldn't normally wear in the wintery months. For two day I wore a skirt and the other two day my normal skinny jeans. They all have a jumper or hoodie in the outfit because it is cold outside and I need to keep warm when I am walking 30 minutes just to get to the class I need to and to get to the actual college on time. I have to say all my outfits are simple but its college you don't need to dress up because there's nothing to dress up for, unless you have to give a pitch to a client.

 

I have to say though my favourite outfit has to be Tuesdays. I mainly choose it because It was the most comfiest outfit out of all of them even if I was wearing a skirt. It was also fun to wear because who doesn't love the cookie monster? But on a serious note I really do love the things I wore that day. Even if I did fall over in my favourite coffee shop and hurt myself, and was late to class and didn't have the things I needed, I still smiled my way through it and got through a truly horrible day but in my favourite clothes.

 

So did you have a favourite outfit this week? Do you have an item of clothing that you don't normally wear but love wearing when you do? How was your week? Feel free to let me know down in the comments.

My Everyday Autumn/Winter Make-Up Look!

 

Hi there! Today I am going to tell you about my everyday make-up look. This is what I do for college, so in my eyes it is a very simple look and very casual. I use many products in this look but because I am so used to it, it take me 10-20 minutes to do this depending on how awake I am! I use this most days when I actually get up and out of bed. The image below is all the products and the brush I use for blending. I could not find my other brushes I use, but they are just very simple brushes and you can get them in any make-up brush set.

 

So here I have used a Collection 16 Hour Lasting Perfection Concealer (which I have run out of that's why its not in the picture sorry!) and I have dabbed this under my eyes, a little bit on my forehead, a little bit on my chin and a little bit around my nose. I have done this to cover up my dark circles under my eyes from the lack of sleep I get from working at night. I also a little bit of redness around my nose because of my cold I have had for a while and I have a couple of spots on my forehead and chin so I put a little on there to cover that up.

 

 

Next I used the L'Oreal Long Lasting Perfecting Foundation in number 15, which is Porcelain. I use this all over my face so I have a complete coverage just so that it covers up any less noticeable blemishes or spots. I blend this in again with my Real Techniques Brush. It is the expert face brush but because I don't have that big a face it is perfect for concealer and foundation and I just love this brush. It is so soft even after having it of ages!

 

 

Then after doing my concealer and foundation, I use a Collection Pressed Powder in the number 18 called Ivory. I use this over my foundation so that the other make-up I use after the powder will stay put and my look a little softer, then if I didn't use it. I put this on with a little pad instead of a sponge because I use less this way and It gives complete coverage better than using two different sponges.

 

 

After I use my powder, I get my SmashBox Palette in the name of Hot Date. It is essentially an eyeshadow palette but I use the darkest brown that they have just to fill in my eyebrows and make the shape more noticeable. I don't use a lot of it but just enough so they are more noticeable and that I do have eyebrows under the foundation and powder I have on. For this I use an angled brush which shapes my eyebrows nicely.

 

 

After that I get my Avon Supershock Gel Eyeliner in the shade Blackened Metal. This isn't a black it is a dark grey with bits of glitter in it. You can't tell the glitter is in it unless you put a lot on. I go around my top lash line and the corner of my bottom lash line and then have a little flick at the corner of my eye. To use this product I got a free eyeliner brush with it and it is a very small angled brush.

 

 

 

After I do my eyeliner I grab my Collection Little Mix Mascara. I have Jades version because it defines every lash and I think it looks so nice and pretty. The mascaras in the Little Mix collection are all black so I do my top and bottom lashes and make them stand out a bit more. The wand that you use to coat your lashes isn't that big or think either so I just love using that every time I do my make-up.

 

 

 

Lastly after all of that I pick up my Sleek Blusher in the number 926 in the shade Rose Gold. I love using this blusher in the winter time because it gives my cheeks a soft glow. The colour of the blusher is a dusty pink with a bit of shimmer in it. I love using it and it looks so nice on my very pale skin. To put this on I use a blusher brush for a normal make-up brush set. Its not a fancy brush. The one fancy brush that I have is my Real Techniques brush.

 

 

After all of this as an after thought as always I use a Lip Butter that smells like Raspberrys. I love using this because it gives my lips a pinky look to them and makes them look fuller. I don't always use a lip butter on its own. I sometimes pair it with a Lipstick and at the moment I am using a Kate Moss Lipstick in the colour 107. It is a dark red/pink. I adore it and always have it in my bag with me.

 

 

So here is the before and after picture of my Autumn/Winter Make-up Look.
