Rose Gold Eye Tutorial

Hello, lovely readers!

I posted a new tutorial to my YouTube channel for you guys! I hope you like it! This look is a rose gold eye look, created with my beloved Accessorize Exposed palette. Simple and flattering, this look will suit almost everyone, and you can make it your own with a slick of your chosen lip colour.

Enjoy!!

Making the Leap!!

As some of you may, or may not know, I've decided to make the leap into YouTube. Now, I'm not able to edit just yet, or do anything fancy, but I'm still putting myself out there and I will learn as I go along.

I won't be doing tutorials, because there are people out there VASTLY more qualified than I, so...I'll just leave it to them.

What I will be doing is uploading reviews and favorites and the like....

Here's my June/July "Things I'm Loving" Video!

A Fun Little Project

A few weeks back, I asked in a Facebook group would anyone like to be a part of a make-up swap, because I was DYING to get my hands on the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous foundation, and the first person to reply was the lovely Kayleigh, from Florida, in the US! I was delighted, this silly idea of mine was going to come to fruition, how cool!!

 So, after a few back and forth messages on Facebook, we figured out what the other liked, and set about shopping for each others tastes! I got Kayliegh some Natural Collection stuff, Essence, Catrice and I think even some Barry M and a few random bits I cant remember now.

I parceled them up, wrapped stuff in bubble-wrap, and sent it off last Tuesday. Today, and yesterday (?) the swaps arrived in each others possession, and then came the fun bit, seeing what was inside. That's where I'm going to leave this blog, and let me abysmal video skills take over!

I had so much fun doing this, and I am so happy with all my surprises! Kayleigh is uploading her unboxing later today, and when its up, I'll link it here too! I will of course, post a haul if anyone wants to see the products in more detail, so just let me know!

LOVE!!

June BBC Day 29: Top 5 Beauty Vloggers/ Youtube Videos

This is gonna be SO easy!! I am a fiend for watching YouTube beauty gurus!

Bunny! 

By far, my favorite Vlogger or Beauty Guru is Bunny!!

You can find her on the YouTube channel Grav3yardgirl.

I love her, she's a crazy Texan, she loves her red lipstick, and is just all around enjoyable to watch! Another point in her favour is that she is a thrifter, which I adore about her because I love to thrift too! She has problems with anxiety and stuff too so I find her easy to relate to, and her crazy nature brightens my days no matter how crappy I'm feeling!

Next up, I'm gonna talk about Leigh-Ann. 

Leigh-Ann

 Leighannsays is another crazy Texan, and I love her. She is a bit odd too, but that's something I find enjoyable so for me its not a problem. 

She reviews a lot of products, as well as hauls and does tutorials. She's a big fan of drugstore products and seems to review products honestly but not bluntly or disparagingly. Her empties videos are also hugely enjoyable and as she usually puts it, "More trash to review for you!!"

Bethany

The next one, I feel I may have to defend. 

Bethany, of Macbarbie07! She may be considerably younger than me, but I have to admit she is vastly more knowledgeable than I at the ol' beauty business! 

I find her tutorials really helpful and easy to follow, and her favorites videos never fail to make me laugh. 

I don't care that she's only what, 18? She makes me smile!

"Girl on Fire" nails by CutePolish inspired by Katniss Everdeen

What kind of a polish addict would I be if I let my favourite nail art Youtuber out?? Step on up CutePolish!! 

You may never see her face, but with the video tutorials she puts up, why would you want to?! Its all part of the charm, the mystique. She has videos of the best nail art I've ever seen, ranging from the simplest accent nails, to the most bizarre, fuzzy Cheshire Cat nails! 

 

Finally, a recent addition to my beauty guru subscriptions, Kandee Johnson! 

Kandee has to be the happiest girl on the planet! She just radiates this relaxed happiness that instantly brightens even the cloudiest of days!

Her short hair inspired to me to make a change I was so desperately craving and I haven't looked back. I doubt she will ever see this, but thanks, Kandee, you inspired me, and now it takes me no time to get ready in the mornings!

So, those are my Top 5 Beauty Vloggers! Do you like my choices? Who do you rate in your top 5?  

Drop me a comment down below!!

Things That Piss Me Off...

Normally, I would leave this kind of thing to my lovely friend Aisling, aka The Rantigator, but today, I'm gonna have a bash at a good aul fashioned rant! I'm not going to tackle any particularly weighty topics, rather, I'll just have a moan about things that "grind my gears" as they say...



People who tell me one of the following...

"God, you're so skinny!"
"Have a ham sandwich or something!"
"Would you not try to put on some weight?!"

Right, here's the first thing. I weigh somewhere around 7st 4lb. I am naturally thin, though with that being said, if I got my mothers genes, I'll eventually be curvy, somewhere around the age of 23. The second thing, I eat!! I fucking adore food! I can't take dairy really and I'm not the biggest fan of certain meats, but I happen to hoover up roast dinners, cottage pies, any kind of pasta, I will mow through salads and paninis, and I can't get my fill of Mexican food. Making the assumption that I starve myself or limit my portions is rude and unnecessary! If you must know, I was on medication that slowed my metabolism and when I came off it, I went back to where I was beforehand.


I really shouldn't have to explain myself, but let me just clarify this one. My weight is nobody else's concern. It's just as rude and ignorant to comment on a thin persons weight, as it is to say to someone who is a size 18, "Would you not go on a diet, and try to slim down a bit?".


Take a long hard look in the mirror before you pick on someone's weight. Chances are, you're not perfect, yourself, love!
