Q+A With Me!

I thought i would do something a little bit different today as i have realised a lot of you probably don't know me very well!

So instead of doing a tag, i have some questions from friends, family and some of you guys on twitter!

1 - What is your Biggest Goal for 2015?

I would say my biggest goal would definitely to ensure that i am happy in my Music Technology course next year! Also to meet my favourite band again as i really want to say some things to a couple of the members :)

2 - What are your top 3 favourite blogs?

I would have to say Vivianna Does Makeup, Lily Pebbles and EssieButton! - Estee's blog design is life

3 - Would you ever dye your hair more than one colour?

Yes i would! At the moment, if you didn't already know, i have the blonde ends of my hair dyed mermaid green! I am loving it! But yes i would definitely go multi-coloured! Never say never!

4 - Top 5 favourite Youtube Channels?

Well i definitely have different favourites for beauty-related and non-beauty related, so ill do 5 each!!

Beauty Related - ViviannaDoesMakeup, FleurDeForce, Zoella, AmeliaLiana and Essie Button (also BeautyCrush)

Non-Beauty Related - Danisnotonfire, AmazingPhil, KickthePj, Ninebrassmonkeys, JackHoward. (also THEMIDNIGHTBEAST obviously)

5 - Who's your favourite fictional character?

I would have to say... probably Gizmo from Gremlins, or Baymax from big hero 6 at the moment. They're both so squishy and i want to squeeze them agh!

6 - What is your favourite song?

All time favourite would probably be either Judas by Lady Gaga because it brings back so many memories OR Lez Be Friends by The Midnight Beast as it was the first song i ever heard by them!

But my favourite song right now would either be Satisfy by Nero or Promesses by Tchami (yes i spelt it correctly)

 7 - What is your favourite place?

My favourite place to be is either in some kind of concert hall or small venue, that always gives me the best feeling. Or at home with all of my family :)

8 - What is something some people may not know about you?

I am going to be turning 18 in July and i am still only a mere 5ft 1 in height! A lot of people expect me to be a lot taller when they meet me!

9 - What would you do if you won the lottery?

Probably rent Lady Gaga and The Midnight Beast to come and play for my 18th birthday! Best birthday present ever

10 - What do you want to do when you grow up?

At the moment i would really love to work in the media in some way. I love the idea of working in radio or television and i also love the idea of doing lighting and sound for concerts and gigs!!

I hope you liked this post and i hope that it wasn't too boring for you all!

I hope you have a great day and What do you want to do when you grow up?

My Bedroom Tour!

In this post i thought i would show you the layout of my room now i am finally happy with how it looks.

I have recently also added a couple of picture frames to my collection so i thought i would show you all!

First up is my TV Corner! I really like where i have put this, as you can see i am a fan of KickthePj if you haven't already recognised.

To the left of my TV corner i have my makeup organisation. I really love how everything is set out and organised now! As you can see i am quite a lover of makeup and all things beauty/skincare haha!

To the right of the TV corner is my desk-top/sidebord and poster wall! I have recently added all of my tickets and tour posters relating to each ticket, to the wall. 

I have my birthday and christmas cards lined up along the wall and also my jewellery area which is what i will get to in a minute.

I also have a few of my games and dvd's at the end of the wall! As you can see i quite like gaming (honestly this is only probably a quarter of the amount of games i actually have... oops

Here is most of my necklaces and bracelets that i own. Most of them are probably from Lynsey Luu, which you should all definitely check out!!

There are also a few of my festival wristbands hanging on the end clip!

One of my highlights of the wall is this drawing that was sent to me from The Midnight Beast! Which are my favourite band if you hadn't already guessed haha

Here is my book collection (some of them). These are all of my favourited and i have probably read a few of them more than 2 times... oops 

You can also see my stylophone above my books which my dad kindly got my for christmas! I love it too much

Here is my desk area which is on the opposite wall to my poster wall, the highlight of my desk is definitely my tetris lamp which is the best thing i own i swear!

Here is my note board area filled with all the random bits of paper or photos that i really love and cannot bare to put away in the draw!

Here are all the photo frames that i was talking about earlier! I made the first one out of an old photograph print that we bought from a car boot sale once. It looks really nice with all of my favourite photos that i took with the members of my favourite band!

The second picture down is the two rectangular black squares. The top one is the pictures that i took with Dan and Phil from youtube, the second time i had met them! The bottom one i turned into a small shelf which i keep the letter from my favourite band member and the little origami bird that he sent with it <3

The third picture down is all of my favourite pictures with all of my friends and favourite people!

The forth picture down is a framed and signed Midnight Beast CD that my brother and his fiancee bought for me for christmas in 2013!

Finally, underneath the TV corner there is a little area by the radiator for my dog Ben. He really likes little corners where he can snuggle up with all of his favourite things! So this is perfect for him!!

I hope you liked the set out of this quick post and i really hope that it isn't too boring for you all to read. I really hope that it is not too long for you to read!

Love you all

The Face of 2014

So instead of doing a 2014 favourites like most people are probably doing at this time of the year, i thought i would do a 'My Face of 2014' where i show you my favourite products of the year which are all combined into one makeup look!

First up is the base makeup, now I'm not a huge fan of foundations (even though i do own quite a few, confessions of a beautyholic), so i usually use a couple of concealers to just correct anything that is in my way, along with a good old primer to lock everything in place for the day.

Recently i have been using the No7 Stay Perfect primer. This is a lot more affordable than Benefit's POREfessional and it does the job in exactly the same way! You also get more product in my eyes! So i usually sweep about a pea size of this onto my face with my fingers and then move onto the concealer.

The two concealers i use are the Collection Lasting Perfection in Fair 01 and the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Chantilly. They both have the same kind of coverage with the collection maybe having the edge a little bit. The only difference is that the collection one is a wee bit dark for me, even though it is it's lightest shade, so i usually mix the two, blend them in with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush and the jobs a good'un! (I also use these underneath my eyes)

(Apologies for the awful photo, my camera is playing up grrr)

Now to set everything in place i will use Soap and Glory's Kick Ass powder from this little concealer set i have, to be honest, i really am not keen on the concealers! Probably because they are, again, too dark for me, even in their lightest shade!

I sweep the translucent powder over my concealer with my Real Techniques setting brush (left) and then over my T-Zone and other oily areas with the Real Techniques Blush Brush (right). Perfect combo!

Now moving onto eyes. Usually i will just stick with a bit of mascara and maybe a bit of smudged out liner but on some occasions when i am feeling a bit more confident, i'll whack out the good old Naked 2.

The shades i use from this palette are, Foxy - to highlight and blend with; Tease - for the crease and Snakebite - the main colour. I pack the colour onto my lids using the Real Techniques Shading brush (purple) and then i will blend everything together with the fluffy end of the brush that comes with the palette!

I then also usually sweep a small line of Rimmel's black liner in Starlit Black and Smudge it out with the shading brush aswell as applying a couple of coats of Benefit's They're Real mascara.

(Again, apologies for the quality of this photograph :( )

If i am feeling like a little bit of a blush and lip combo, i usually pair up these two and they compliment each other so well!

I sweep a small amount of the No7 Blush in Soft Damson using the Real Techniques Blush brush and then i apply the Barry M lip gloss (which apparently doesn't have a shade name).

And this is the finished look! Simple yet perfect for everyday to me!

This was taken after a whole day of wear!

I hope you enjoyed this post even though some of the photo's were annoyingly blurry!! I hope i can get a better shot next time for all yous :)

Have a great morning/afternoon/evening wherever you are and i shall speak to you next Sunday!!

2014 - A Year in Pictures and Video Clips

I have always enjoyed editing photos and videos so I decided that I would upload a video montage to my YouTube channel!

This video is inspired by Pj Liguori's (KickThePj) annual video that he makes to sum up his year in photos and video clips, which is exactly what I have done!

I hope you enjoy if you do give it a watch and leave a comment if you enjoyed it!
