Absence...YouTube...T-shirt

Hey guys...

This is just a super quick update to say that I won't be able to update my blog till after me exams ( I really need to concentrate and revise- well in my case learn from the beginning lol). My last exam is on the 10th of June so sometime after that I guess.

Also I will be creating a YouTube account so I can start making videos, I'm not to sure how I feel about being on YouTube...I'm a bit scared but I think it will be good as you will get to know me a lot better :-) I was struggling to come up with an idea for my 1st video but in the end I decided that I will do a `What's in your bag?' video because its easy and I'm lazy lol.


I know I said this was going to be a super quick update but I've just remembered a cute top that I brought from primark last week. It's just a casual t-shirt that I brought for college but I really like it and it is sooo comfy!



Its is really simple, I normally wouldn't look twice at something like this but it has a kind of translucent/sheer effect which I love. The front says `LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH' and I have to say I do agree with the slogan ;-) It can be worn slouchy or normal, I'm a fan of the off the shoulder look but knowing me I will mix it up- if I was wearing it in the evening I would go for the off the shoulder look teamed with wet look leggings( as I have on) some killer heels and accessorize with a chunky silver/dark grey bracelet/s of some sort and some cool earrings. As for daytime I would just tone it down and throw a denim jacket over it and wear plain leggings( idk- something like that)

or...


...instead of the going for silver/dark grey jewellery I would go all out and opt for multi-coloured chunky accessories instead. This look kinda reminds me of the Rhianna Rudeboy video( you could wear some short shorts with it if you really wanted to go for the Rhianna effect). Its amazing what you can do with a £5 top and the beads were only £2.50!!

Hope you like it and I'll see you in a few weeks possibly with a link to my 1st YouTube video!

Little Sleek haul...Big post lol

 Trying to get a least 5 posts up to get me started :-) So here's my 4th one and 3rd of the day :-(

I love Sleek products after hearing about the brand through Pixiwoo a while back. I think the colour pay off is really good for the low prices. And in their palettes you get 12 colours for a fiver...

So as I was browsing around westfield I went into Superdrug's and discovered a pretty olive green pigment that I had to have...and because it was only £2.99 and the colour pay off was amazing I didn't even have to think about it which is unusual for me as I can be quite indecisive at times :-( lol)

The pics I took did not really come out that great, the tiredness was starting to kick in at this point!


I also brought a glitter eyeliner to match it...I LOVE LOVE glitter! Its amazing, I'm like a magpie when it comes to anything sparkly :-)



and finally a blusher named "Flamingo"



...Unfortunately I am not liking Flamingo, it is way to bright for me! I only put a lil on and it came out so strong, I couldn't even blend it out which was annoying as I felt like it ruined my whole makeup and I was so close to washing it off. Thinking about it now I should of stuck to my Sahara blush from sleek which is my perfect everyday blush. It gives me such a glow even when I feel really pale and tired.

Maybe Flamingo will grow on me...but judging from the following pic- I don't think so...even though the pic does not pick up the true brightness of the blush. Saying that it was only £3.50 so its not like I was hard done by lol



Lol I know the colour looks bright just by looking at it in its container but I thought I would be able to blend it out!

Anyways, i'm going on a bit now.

Im so silly, I forgot swatches!





From left to right; Ignore the 1st. Woohoo found the name of the glitter eyeliner- It's called Mojito (279) Then we have Green with envy (699) followed by Flamingo (937)

Thought I would show you my favourite heels that I just brought from ASOS. I really REALLY love them! However I must admit that I am rubbish at wearing heels! For some strange reason, I can manage dancing around my house in them for a couple of hours lol but as soon as I step outside and walk up the road for 2mins I can feel the pain!!! I attempted to wear a pair I had just brought to a club and by the end of the night I was in soooo much pain that when it came to catching the oh so reliable night bus back I was walking in a pair of socks I had slipped into my handbag before I went out. Oh the shame! I do not know how some girls can party hard and still look flawless in their heels...Jealousy does not even come close to how I feel about that...ha ha

The box...thought I'd post a pic because it's quite cute...




and here they are!!!


here's where I get a bit carried away with the photo's lol...



...so they have a T-bar strap, and wooden/cork? heels. They come in yellow with green glasses and in red with black glasses( I think?) The yellow ones are amazing 2!



I love the Lolita sunglasses at the front!



and the sunglasses and embellished heart on the back are really cool!

So here are my "bang bang shoes" Hope you like this post, what are your bang bang shoes (I love this term now as well lol) like!?

Quick pic of Revlon's Minted nail polish...and a lil ramble lol


So this is what it came out like. I know it's probably all boring for you guys to see because you may have it already or seen someone wearing it. Im gonna try my hardest to make this blog interesting for you but I need somewhere to start. So it will get better in time and besides I haven't really made it known to anybody that I have a blog until I start building it up a bit, then I will do.

But anyway, enough of the rambling lol! Im not sure how I feel about this colour, I think I prefer darker or more deeper colours on myself. As you can see because it is so light and my skin tone is medium/dark it appears to show up more mistakes. I know it sounds strange lol but thats what it does to me.

However, it might grow on me...I don't know!!? But if not I will give it to my mum as it would probably suit her better :-)
