News/Day In Pictures

So casually flipping through my magazines cause I am awesome, and through my e-mails and I read that selfridges have opened up a new male shoe section, the biggest in the world... I think I sat at my computer screen in awe of it!! I want to witness what it looks like.. haha! So this sparked up an idea in my head.. every so often when I read something during the week I shall post it on here to share with you all.. YAY
for the bright ones amongst us, you will notice my new font.. thought i should jazz things up a little around here...



shoes.. shoes..shoes

*sigh* Yesterday was such an awful evening, I really think people should start to learn some manners. It maybe just me but they don't cost anything and I feel if you are going to speak someone there is a way in which you do it. And it isn't by ending the conversation by telling someone to 'shut up' simply say 'please can you be quiet'. I could be going all old fashioned but I think manners are really important.. Anyway glancing over that topic..
I wore my tesco Lipstick yesterday... and people said it looked good, I call that a success! I think I might just wear it more often ;)
oh I should mention.. I have downloaded the 'Vogue daily news'  App and it is really good! I have found out quite a lot! It's free you should deffo download it :) Type in 'Vogue Daily' and it will come up

Inspiration this week..
comes from a good friend who is going through a hard time and this is for her because I think a good bit of news will really help her, it has shown me people can get through anything.
Also it comes from my new/old/all time obsession with Newton Faulkner.. wowee this guy is AMAZING I am currently listening to his albums now while writing and I am in musical heaven... literally. 

New Band: Urban Cone, they are a great band who I have really began to get obsessed with, omg! If you fancy a listen, the best song in my opinion is 'Deja Vu' 

Inspiration: 



 






All of these Images have been found on both Tumblr and a great site called LookSoup

Beauty and the Tired Beast


Bonfire night was so freezing I thought my toes were going to fall off! however romantic it seemed at the time it was so so cold :( This is the thing, if we were in Australia where you could be warm and watch fireworks life would be so much simpler and nicer for that matter.. but no i had to struggle with my toes falling off #winning! 
However, I hope your nights were joyus and no one got harmed.. thats always a plus! no got harmed over here so i call that a certified bonus (y) top marks for helmsley ;)
As you are all aware  i have died my hair.. OMG! so this is exciting since my nana really didn't want me to do it, but she likes it so i consider that something to be proud off! however I did do it when I was tired and Harry was over.. so he helped thought i should make him of use.. and it is LOADS better than it was the first time you can actually tell now ;) so all is welll and all is Ombred!! 


Jumper: Topshop
Headband: Primark (old)

this is what i looked like.. i dont think it's that bad to be honest hahaha!!

Beauty...
I had a rumage around my room and i came across somethings which i bought which I forgot i had or my Mum bought and gave to me.. or I have just recently purchased :) 

1. My mum bought some Avon ideal flawless foundation which she has used but she didn't want anymore and gave it to me to try... and i really like it! you don't need much on your face at all and it covers everywhere. I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin as it leaves a sheen on your face and is quite heavy.. but i recommend for normal or dry skin :) i have it in Ivory 

2. When looking round for things for Halloween I came across some dark matte Lipstick which is a really deep purple, it is rather garish if you put on loads but I have found if you blot it and build it up it is a really nice colour and very this season! So when finding this in very low amounts I went on a mission to find more! It's from tesco i think its £2.. so a bargain :) however.. because it is so cheep it does just slide of your lips after a drink.. but hey its a great colour!

3. while shopping for my new lippy, i came across the new foundation for Rimmel 'match perfect' and considering I have loads of foundation now i thought i would try the new concealer and it is really good :) not so much for under the eyes, but for covering redness on the face and round your nose and for minor blemishes it is really great :) i have it in shade 010 ivory


4. Again after finding my concealer i proceeded to maybelline to find their new 'Master Smoky shadow pencil' and I thought it looked really good, and was a good mix of the Max Factor smoky eye effect shadow in 2 steps, which i do have! But.. however good it looks it is a bugger to applicate.. the smudger is so stiff it felt like i was poking my eye out, this wasnt helped by how difficult the shadow was to blend with the smudger.. wasn't impressed! however after many tries it did look good.. so i arent sure whether i will be buying this again or not..
i have it in shade smoky Navy 


5. While in tesco's i had a look down the face isle as i like to call it, and one of my close friends recommended the Simple facial toner for a cleanser to remove makeup, as i arent a fan of facial wipes! I love it, compared to the Garnier one which i am in love with, this really does beat it. My face feels so fresh and really clean after. And for £2.50 i shall be buying it again. Bargain.

Finally; I went down to the shampoo isle for some conditioner to look after and protect my dyed hair and i came across the l'oreal 'new ever pure no sulphates colour care system' so i figured why not! And it made my ends feel so much better, less straw like (from the dye) and more soft it feels and looks healthier :) however i am still looking for other better ones, so if anyone has any tips or brands let me know!

so this has been my monthly update on my latest purchases of beauty buys! hope you all find this helpful in what you are looking to buy :)

I haven't been wearing much make up really, which is a big change for me, due to my "meh" attitude, but when I do I am beginning to spend much more time on it making it look a tad more classy ;) which is rather odd as I actually look like i am 18 rather than a grungy 16 year old..

Birthday/Inspiration

September went so fast, and most of all i can't believe i am 18 on sunday! i think its crazy, however i am doing amazingly on my diet.. *cheer* and in good news i could be going to Paris in January with the boyf, so there is something good to look forward too :D Also next Friday, Newton Faulkner with my best friend. Tis what she got me for the birthday! So Excited!

This Weeks Inpiration: it comes from my friends really. As sad as it seems, a few have been down lately and it really inspired me to carry on through everything because a couple have been going through a bad time but have managed to pull through it all. Also I went to a concert at my brothers secondary school, and there was Uganda Choir performing 'Pearl Of Africa choir' and the hardship that those kids go through has made me realise how lucky i am to have a family, friends and all these possibilities  This may seem rather down hearted but i feel i should tell you truthfully what has inspired me this week. Some days/weeks/months those children don't have food... It really makes you think. 

Inspiration in Pictures :)
