Thanks mum.

I feel like I'm finding myself. You know that feeling when you realise what makes you tick and all that jazz. I was looking at some of my old posts and videos (from 2 years ago..) and was thinking about how different a person I was compared to who I am now. Growth.

I initialy just needed a trim and decided (spur of the moment) to get a little bit more off. I like it. ;)

Off to see Michelle later in the city, I'll probably shoot my outfit then too! ..xo

(Edit : Watch what we got up to !)

Lipstick : Morange (MAC)

I'm quite, simply put, obsessed with her (borderline crush). She always has this look in her eyes of deep thought. "Queen of cool" as someone rightly puts it.
Oh how I love these black and white shots of her.

I never thought having my sister as a roomy would ever be fun. We're so different in lots of ways, and growing up in that little space was a bit crazy at times. I'm a neat freak, and Kezia is, well, the opposite.  She's more laid back and care free about stuff, while i'm very meticulous. These little differences were often the reason we'd get into squabbles and the like, and we would both wish for our dear God to give us separate rooms, were we could do as we liked with our own space!

It wasn't until after I moved out of home and went to University that we both realised how much we loved each other's company, and yes we have differences, but we came to miss those little things too! 

Now every time I come back home it's all laughs and I'm so grateful to have her as a roomy! 

We decided to have a little tidy and redecorate our room, to sort of mark how special it is for us to share this little space with each other. We've both come to compromise, about a few things, but we're determined to make this space enjoyable and liveable too. :) ..xo

Check out what we got up to on the day we went to IKEA (Where all the furniture bits and pieces are from!) :)

I sometimes make myself believe I can persuade the sun to make an appearance by wearing colourful clothes. Hehe!

Sometimes the sun does come out, other times it doesn't! ...I still prance and dance around anyway! :) ..xo

I've promised numerous times to do a post and video of my favourite foundations! It's about time I did, as I feel I've got a good enough use of them!
Have an open mind when reading on, and also remember: what works for me may not necessarily work for you. My advice would be to get your hands on samples of products you may be interested in, have a little test of them, and that way you are more likely to find what works for you!

So without further ado, here are my favourite foundations...

MAC Face + Body Foundation
120 ml 4.0 fl oz £23.50
My Shade : C7
 

MY REVIEW : This is a water-based, water-resistant foundation that offers light coverage. I find after applying it, my face still looks natural. It has moisturising properties, but doesn't leave the skin feeling all oiled up. I think it is very versatile as it can be used in the colder or warmer months. It comes in different shades and it lasts a very long time (bottle life that is), so the price isn't to dire if you think about it!
I like to apply this foundation using a duo fibre brush.

(Makeup Tutorial)

So after my brief hiatus from ze whole beauty side of things (purely because I haven't been that creative with my makeup, just boring old eyeliner and a lip color) I decided to get back into the swing of things! I filmed this Summer inspired makeup tutorial, with quite a few peachy and orangey toned products! It's still very much wearable, I think! I'm excited to see what other looks I come up with, using this palette and a few other goodies in my makeup collection! :) ...xo

Lipstick/Gloss of the day

My favourite!

Right, so I usually have this stuff in my bag, along with a bunch of other nonsense, but seeing as this is a transparent bag, I kinda feel the need to put in just the necessary stuff and keep it tidy!

...or it could just be my OCD self! Haha! :D ..xo

I met some really lovely people, and I had a very nice time!

Toni (of Fashitects) , Alan (of SwaggermanEniang), Me, Helen (of PlasticLipstickatNoon)

Michael Woods & Candy Jacobs (Cast of The Only Way is Essex!)

These guys were so lovely, and Mike is really funny!

The lovely Elina (of Imperfect-Perfectionista) and beautiful Anna (of La Khimich).

Bip Ling & I!

Hope you enjoyed reading and like the pictures! :) ..xo
