Birthday Wishlist

Hello Readers,

Sorry again for disappearing for so long! I went home on Friday for a visit and didn't come back till late last night. As a future warning I probably won't blog at all when I go home for brief visits as I don't have any products or clothes with me that I want to photograph. Also because when I go home I don't want to be glued to my laptop, I want to be catching up with my family! So hopefully you all don't mind that.

Anyway, if you didn't know already it's my birthday in 10 days time. I'll be turning 19 which seems so crazy as I still feel and look about 14 years old! I decided to make a little birthday wishlist of a few items that I have my eye on right now and wouldn't mind receiving as a gift.

From Left To Right

6. Sleek Pout Paint in Lava - £5.72
7. Motel Zena Bodycon Dress in Henna Hand Print - £32


That's all for my birthday wishlist.

I hope you've enjoyed. Is your birthday coming up soon? What are you hoping to get for your birthday? Let me know!

I hope you're all well.

October Favourites

 
Hello Readers,

Today I'll be doing my monthly favourites post! October has been a month where I've not really used or tried any new products if I'm honest. I've switched up a few bits in my everyday make-up routine however it's not much so sorry for the disappointing lack of products. Enough rambling and on with the post!


First up in my October favourites is MAC's matt powder blush in the shade Melba. This blush is very peach / coral toned which perhaps is a bit better suited to the summer months however I prefer an orangey toned blush to a pink one as I feel like they suit me better. This blush is very pigmented so only a little amount of it is needed to add a bit of colour to your face. I have had this blush for about a year now and still haven't even made a dent in it! This product also featured in my June favourites post which you can see here.
 


Next up is a product that I've featured a few times on my blog now and it's GOSH BB Cream in the shade Sand. I've done a post raving about how underrated this product is which you can see here. I've also featured this in my July favourites post which you can see here. I always find myself coming back to this product as it's just so good. I feel like it's the perfect match for my skin, it's long lasting and it looks so natural. I couldn't praise it enough! I'm almost all out of this now so it looks like I'll be picking up another tube some time soon. 



Next up is Rimmels Retro Glam Scandal Eyes Mascara. I've had this mascara for just over a month now and I really like it. I much prefer this mascara now that it's beginning to dry up a little bit as I'm really not a fan of wet mascara. I feel like this helps to thicken my lashes and also fans them out quite nicely. To read more about what I think of this product you can check out the review I did it of it last month by clicking here.



Next up is something a bit dull however I'll show them anyway. These are Superdrugs own Camomile Facial Cleansing wipes, they retail for 99p so they're super cheap! I've used Superdrugs facial wipes before however I've never used the Camomile ones until recently. These wipes just smell so so good! I absolutely love using them, they're quite good at removing make-up and just smell so lovely that they're enjoyable to use. I found that the face wipes I was previously using seemed to be breaking me out however since switching to these wipes I've seen an improvement in my skin so I'll definitely continue to use these!


That's all for this months favourites post. Hopefully I'll have a few more products in my next one!
I hope you're all well.

Beauty Photoshoot

 

Hello Readers,

I'd just like to apologize for my absence the last few days. I shouldn't make excuses for why I didn't update my blog so I won't bother making them! If you've been keeping up with my blog for a while you'll know that I love photography and it's my absolute dream to make it as a fashion and beauty photographer. So naturally, I spend quite a bit of time doing photoshoots! It's been a while since my last photoshoot as I've moved up to Nottingham and I don't have any friends on hand to use as models which is quite unfortunate. I recently felt so motivated to start shooting again that I decided to do something I'd never done before... hire a model from an agency!

I'm honestly so happy with the way the images turned out. The model I hired was lovely and was really easy to work with. Below I've included a few images from my shoot which I hope you enjoy looking at. The theme of the shoot was very autumnal, with the main focus being the very autumn appropriate vampy lip.



That's all for this blog post. Let me know what you think of my images, I'd love to hear some feedback!

Hope you're all well.
