OOTD


 I got this dress looking playsuit from primark about a year and half ago but its still going strong and i love it! 
i can wear it with tights when its cooler or without when its a little bit sunnier in England like today

 The last few days the temperatures have risen in England and it's extremely warm today. 
I'm loving the way its almost October and its really warm but i am so excited for winter so i can start buying big sugg knit jumpers and cardigans and get out my hot water bottle and my duvet on the sofa!
 I'm not wearing much makeup because of the heat all i have on is:
foundation - rimmel london, 25 hour foundation 
mascara- natural collection lash build up
lipstick - Barry M toutch of magic (my all time favorite) 
I bought my shoes from newlook about a month ago and adore and live in the! 

Dress- Primark
Shoes- Newlook, £16.99
makeup- listed above

Half moon nail art

hello everyone, today i will be showing you how to create a perfect half moon shape nail art! hope you enjoy



 The first step you need to do is paint your nails the color you want the moon shape to be (the smaller part)
 Then take some of these. they are paper reinforcements and can be bought from any stationary shop, mine are from wilkinsons and was about 50p for almost 500! 
 so before you do anything you need to cut some of the reinforcements in half (you don't have to do this) and stick them on your nails like i have done. 
Next you should paint above the reinforcements and peal them off, you should be left with this perfect shape!

Thankyou for reading

Cutie polishes!

I went shopping yesterday and had a catchup with my friend, i thought I'm going to treat myself today, because I'v been good with money and haven't been buying stupid thing that are pointless and a wast of money. so walking into boots I see 'Buy 2 barry M nail paints and save £1' it just makes a bigger reason to buy them! so i picked up two cheeky nail polishes up from boots.
colors (from left)- Blue moon - Peach Melba 

A few weeks ago me and my friend Amy (the one who i was catching up with) found this little shop called Fashion HQ and it did the latest trends but reasonable priced and they have a rack of makeup (bits) and lots of nail polishes and its all 99p and i found this really nice glitter blue polish (i do hate glitter polishes because the are a nightmare to remove) but it just looked sosososososooooo nice, i wish it would go like a solid glitter because its really sheer until you put about three coats on, but i got it anywhooooo (as you can see by the picture ahahaa) 
Color- Treasure Island
It doesn't look as nice in the bottle but on the nail it is just.... aaaaah. 
These are the three polishes on the nail, as you can see the blue glitter one is mammmmma! 
I havn't ever heared of the make of the L.A. colors Color craze polish until now but that was 99p and the Barry M polishes was 2 for £4.99 (deal- normally £2.95 each?) 

Thankyou for reading

I'm normally got with really 'safe' colors with eye makeup because i'm quite paile and not very daring.
but this morning when i woke up i thought, im going dark today. so i started to put on my eye makeup and went with this look... 
You're all probibly saying to yourselves "thats not even dark" but for me it is, and the camera makes it look quite washed out.. but im really loving wearing this makeup today!

Back to school makeup!

So i know i haven't done a post since my terrable version of Twiggy but thought i would do a photo collection of back to school makeup. 
 First of all i mixed two products together to create a nice tinted moisturiser.
 The products I used were Rimmel match perfection foundation and Johnson's baby lotion.
 Next i dotted it all over my face in the places i would normally use my everyday foundation
 and just covered it all over my face with a powder brush.

 Then, using the All over cover stick from ELF i concealed on my blemishes and under my eyes
covering any dark circles. 

 After this i set my face makeup with a loose powder from natural collection. this just takes any shine away from my face and makes my makeup set for the full day. 

 Onto the eyes, i used the palette from ELF and used two different colors one is just a neutral skin tone color and the other just a bright white.
 Before putting any shadow on my eyes i used the All over cover stick again as a base to my eye shadow.
I then used this neutral toned color shadow all over my lid.
 Next i used this bright white what makes you look very awake just near the roots of my lashes and the inner corner of my eye, you could also use this is a highlight on the brow bone. 

 Next using a mascara from Natural collection i put a thin coat on my lashes, keeping it natural looking.
and finally filling the brows lightly again keeping it very natural. 
This is the final look i think its great for school, really simple and light and will stay on the face all day! i never used to wear eyeshadow on the eyes but i think it makes you look really awake and ready! have a nice time at school guys and have fun!
p.s. please don't take notice of my ginger hair :( 

thank you Serena xxx
