Contour Brush

Rightt, so I want to buy Sleek's Contouring kit but I need an angled brush to apply it with. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what brand I should go for, that's decent quality but affordable? I really don't want to be spending like.. £20 on one brush so I guess MAC is out of the question. It would also be easier if I could get it from Boots or Superdrug but don't worry if what you're thinking of isn't sold here, as long as I can order it online :)

Once I've decided what brush I want, I will go and purchase the two and let you know how I get on, maybe do a photo with me wearing it and a little review or something.

Also, I will be posting a little Face/outfit of the day thing, because my berets arrived today, although i think I will only be keeping the beaded one because I don't like the way the other two look on me. It will probably be towards the end of the week because I have my last A level exam on Wednesday and my skin is looking HORRIBLE at the moment.

I'm really considering buying one of those zeno spot zapping machines that administers low leveled heat, I'm always struggling to get clear skin, even if I haven't worn makeup in days! I hate it.

Hope you're all having a great time out in the sun, personally it's a bit hot for me, although I am enjoying trying to tan!

Bye for now

Love,

OOTD

It's a glorious sunny day people! And I have hayfever :( Badtimes. I thought I'd share with you all, my Outfit for today.

Yeah, I just wanted to wear something light since it's so hott! And I actually put an all Primark outfit together by accident! Although my mum gave me the top so the top a really old primark top, I don't think it looks like primark tbh :P And neither do the jean shorts. They are really nice and look more Miss Selfridge than Primark! I think the bracelets are quite old too. My mum gave me her set so I've put two sets together now, and that's how I wear them, because this season is all about layering up and clutter and stuff so yeah. I think I saw Gok put loads of bracelets on one of his models....

Also, carrying on from my previous post, I managed to find a beaded beret on the new look website for like, 5 minutes, I quickly ordered it along with a normal black and cream one. I checked back less than 1 hour later and they were out of stock again! They must sell out really fast or something... :/

Only 23 days until I'm 18, and only 10 until I fly off to Malta! and anddd,, only 4 days until I've finished my exams! wooowie ;D

Hope you're all having loads of fun on this sunny day!

Love,

*cry cry*

Right so, I wanted to buy this epic beret from New Look a couple of weeks ago, and I was going to leave it to see if I could find it instore the next day. No such luck... and then I went to purchase it online but it's gone :o

I've checked ebay, i don't know where else would have one.

Does anyone know where i can get this from? or have one that I could buy from you...  :) thankss.

Sunbathing

Yep Yep. So today has been BOILING as I'm sure most of you know.

I just thought I'd do a little list of 5 essential things for me when I sunbathe which is inspired from reading Nicola's blog post about summer essentials

1. SPF 15 suncream
While I don't want to get cancer, I also want to tan, and factor 15 isn't too bad, well.. protects your skin 15 times more than if you wern't wearing it... My mum however, used to use sunbeds a lot and for our holiday in Malta has bought "tanning oil" with SPF 2. Great one mum! not :P

2. Water
I absolutely cannot live without water when I sunbathe. I just get suffocated by the heat. So we always buy a paddling pool to cool down in, while still getting a tan, also, the light reflecting off of the water makes you tan better ;) We've only just bought a paddling pool today for this summer, so until now i've had to use a water spray what we bought in Orlando two years ago.

3. Swimwear/Bikini
I love to wear as little as possible to avoid annoying/weird tan lines. I personally also sunbathe without the straps on my bikini, because I don't want strap lines.

4. Headband
When I sunbathe I want to keep the hair out of my face and also I have a thick headband which covers my scalp so I don't burn my head and get sunstroke. Also this way I won't burn my hair either.

5. My Garden
I really dislike sunbathing (in basically underwear) infront of other people. So I really like being in my garden where nobody can see me. Although I don't really mind on holiday by the pool because nobody really cares there. lol.

So yeah, what are your 5 must-have things when you're out in the sun/sunbathing?

Hope you're doing well,

Love,

MUA Nail Polish

Sooo, some of you might recall that I posted this in my recent Haul, it's the dark blue nail varnish by MUA. It looks GORGEOUS in the bottle and I couldn't wait to get this sexy colour on my nails! However, I was somewhat disappointed with what it looked like :(

They just look like black nails... although the result is much better with flash as seen below, but unfortunately life cannot be lived under a constant flash illuminating light :(

Ignore the shabbyness of the painting, i had already decided to hate this because it looked black >.>

I decided to redo my french maincure look and quite liked how it turned out. It's not perfect by any means, I guess I'll just have to practice, practice, Practice!!

Products Used:
No 7 Stay Perfect Nail colour in French Pink
Nailene white tip pen
Nailene topcoat included in with the pen

So I'm hoping I'll be good enough to have a gorgeous french manicure for prom, or if not, the vietnamese girls can do it for £3 :P lol

Good'day everyone ;D

Love,

Birthday Dress!

Yaaay, it arrived today. I ordered it on Thursday for the free delivery and it said it would be here on Thursday but it arrived early :) I love it, it's beautiful...

Excuse the creases, I was so excited I wanted to try it on straight away. It fits perfectly and will be totally amazing for my party. Just need to find some dazzling jewellery now. Anyone think I need to find a black belt with a bit of detail around the middle where the black strip is? I just get the feeling that it's a little bit bare at the moment. I was also going to wear heels but since it's in my house, I don't really see the point!

Life is looking good at the moment. One exam left on the 30th, Malta on 6th July to 13th, Prom on 14th July, 18th birthday on 19th July! Soo happy =]


Here's a picture of me and my brother, we took the picture so that we could put it in a photo frame for dad on fathers day but shame he closed his eyes!

haha.

Hope you're all doing alright :) Let me know what you think of the dress :)

Love,

Life Update, Nailene pen review + Hair & Eyebrows....

Right. I have an exam at 9am. I feel like I hardly know anything. This exam means sooo much to me :/ aah. Explosion much. Anyways.

I'm so looking forward to it being 11:30am. I'll go look around my local town for a bit of relaxation and then get the bus home to sleep for a million hours!

Also, following my previous blog post about my nailene french tip pen... The packaging is actually lethal! I have this plastic cut on my finger which is really painful from where I tried to open the packet... Anyway, it's really easy to apply (surprisingly easy) and I don't know if it's just me using it wrong or something but, I noticed little cracks starting to appear in the white and also seems to chip quite easily. Mum thinks I just need a little more practice so I'll let you know :) I don't have a picture right now.. I've been quite busy lately. With this exam and then I have to sort out Student Finance since the deadline is 25th. Eeek.

On a sidenote. Today I booked to have my eyebrows threaded on July 5th (if anyone doesn't know.. it's like a piece of cotton which pulls out stray hairs) They do it in debenhams for £18 I think, and certainly my local superdrug does it for £5 but I go to this professional indian lady's house and she does it for £4 and she's really gentle. The only thing is that I get a rash of spots around my eyebrows everytime I have this done, because my skin is so sensitive so I always get all blotchy. I definately recommend it if you haven't tried it though, the results are lovely and it lasts for 4ish weeks! I'll probably end up posting a picture of my newly-shaped eyebrows.

Also booked a haircut for the day I go on holiday since I'm leaving at night. The woman who I want to do my hair is not available on the day of my prom which is disappointing because I wanted them to properly do the curls and stuff but yeah, can't be helped I guess!

Malta is 14 days away. Yay ♥

Hope you're all doing well :)

Love,

Emz ♥
