What Time Is It? SUMMER TIME

Just a little random post today. I have my performing arts school summer show this evening, just incase you were wondering. 

Yesterday I had personal training. Feeling absolutely dead afterwards I decided to take a bath, using my beautiful flower candles. They're so pretty -





When I was out the other day in town for my mum's birthday I bought these goodies.

Tangle Teaser - I'm pretty late on this band wagon because even though I've used my friend's Tangle Teaser's before I never felt the need to get on myself. My hair is straight and not too thick so it doesn't get very knotty, hence I do not use a hairbrush too often. However, the other day when I was at the hairdressers they used a Tangle Teaser on my wet hair and it was just so much easier than a comb. So when I came across one when browsing I decided to get it. I realise that this little mini rant about the thinness of my hair doesn't really make sense but I'm just going to roll with it.



Topshop liner - I also picked up a liquid eyeliner from Topshop. This eyeliner has been recommended to me quite a few times and it wasn't too expensive so I thought I might as well get it. After trying it out yesterday I absolutely love it. I have very oily eye lids so my eye shadow often creases, particularly in summer. So liquid eyeliner is a perfect alternative. I wore this Topshop one to rehearsals yesterday and it stayed perfectly and I just love it. (Do not get this in your eye - it hurts like a bitch)



Bye for now!

The Happening Palette

You may or may not know that GCSEs start in under two weeks (oh god), and that is the reason why I have not been posting too much. However when I finish my GCSEs on the 14th of June, probably the longest summer I will ever have begins. I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing over the summer but I will be blogging about it all (and possibly vlogging). So stay tuned! 

Today I thought I'd do just a quick post on one of my most recent purchases from Nars - The Happening Palette! 


The blush of the left is coralie and quite subtle, which I really like as I don't like blush to be too strong and harsh, particularly on myself. 

The bronzer on the right is really nice for a natural little bit of colour. However, personally I prefer the Mac bronzer that has a little bit of glitter in it.

The light eye shadow on the top left is nice to cover the whole eye right up to the brow bone to wear with just liquid eyeliner, or on the inside corner for a smokey eye.

The purple eye shadow on the bottom left is nice for a fairly light smokey eye or lightly over the whole eye up to the crease for a lazy make up day.

The light brown on the top right is also good for the whole eye up to the crease on a lazy make up day.

Finally the dark brown on the bottom right is good for under the eye with a subtle smokey eye as it is less harsh than black. 

Just a quick little review, not the best.

Adios
