Quick update!

Hello everyone!
Today is just going to be a wee update of my life and how I'm planning on scheduling some posts on here.


First off I am going back to school next Wednesday, which is a good and bad thing in all honesty. This means that I may not be able to post as often but I'm not going to give up on this blog as I did with one last year. With going back to school and being in the last year of school (ahhh) I get to wear mufti every Friday, my plans are to start a weekly fashion Friday post of what I wore to school on that day. On these posts I will list what I wore and where it was from but also if I would wear it again to school, if it was suitable and just general things like that. So look forward to Fashion Fridays! I do have heaaps of other posts planned, including at least one blog colab so watch out for that.

The photography club that I go to will be starting again soon so expect some more photography posts soon. :)

I am always up to try anything so please let me know any ideas for posts by commenting below or messaging me, and I will do my best to do your ideas for you.

Until next time, be happy and stay gorgeous :3 xxx

Celebrity hair and makeup inspriation

Hello everyone!
Today I am going to be talking about my celebrity hair and makeup crushes currently. I thought that these photos may inspire you as the do for me.


Starting with hair:
Natalie Dormer has the most amazing hair; I really love the colour and length of it. The way she has styled it in this photo has been my inspiration lately. As I could never even imagine shaving my hair as she has so I just put all my hair to one side and pin it there.



Niomi Smart who is one of the many youtubers that I watch, ever since she started her channel I fell in love with her hair. The length is my ideal length and what I really am trying to grow my hair to, but sadly I have a long way to go. I also love this style that she has in this picture as it is incredibly casual but if you were to tighten the piece that is up it could turn into a more sophisticated hairstyle for a night out.



Onto a makeup look that I am obsessed with at the moment is the blue around eyes, not just on the lid but lightly under your eyes as a liner. I found that Evanna Lynch pulls this look off amazingly, it really brightens her blue eyes which is something I want to try and do. I also love that on this particular makeup look that the lips are still bright but not over taking the power of the blue on the eyes.



I hope you have enjoyed this wee sneak peek into my current celebrity hair and makeup inspiration. Please feel free to leave some feedback or any requests for posts down in the comments or message me.

How to fill in your eyebrows!

Hello everyone!
I finally went and got my eyebrows done so they are all nicely shaped again, this got me thinking of how I fill them in whilst doing my morning makeup and how I never really knew or got taught how to do them but I watched millions of youtube videos to find out what to do.
So I thought that today I would write a basic technique on how to fill in eyebrows.

This technique is also good when you get rogue hairs that just need plucking but you're scared that you'll ruin your eyebrow shape.

You want to start with your middles. To find out where your eyebrows need to come to you line a eyeliner or something straight and long along the edge of your nose, lined up with the inner corner of your eye. This is where your eyebrow should start, using the brush or pencil that you're using to fill in your eyebrows make a rough outline of your eyebrow.


To find where the arch of your eyebrow is going to be, line the eyeliner along the side of your nose at an angle where it goes through your pupil, where the eyeliner crosses your eyebrow is where your arch should be. Lightly draw a outline of where this is.



Time to find the end of your eyebrow, once again line the eyeliner along your nose and this time on an angle to pass over the outer corner of your eye. Where the eyeliner crosses your eyebrow is where your eyebrow should end.



Lightly shade any spots that seem to be sparse. I put a little bit of the pencil I use then smudge it with my finger to achieve a more natural look.

I hope this has helped anyone starting out with their eyebrows or it has interested you to see how I personally do my eyebrows. Let me know if you have any tips that I should add to this list, and please feel free to leave some feedback or any requests for posts down in the comments or message me.

Tips on surviving getting your eyebrows done

Hello!
Just a small post today as I am working on another post on eyebrows but I don't seem to be getting it done so in the mean time here is another post :)

I went and got my eyebrows done today at my regular place, whilst walking to the appointment I got thinking about how I felt the first time I went and things I wish I knew when I went, so here are those things!

1 - It will hurt, not much but it will hurt so be prepared for that.
2 - Ask when you make the appointment how much it will cost you so you can be prepared with the money, for your first time if you're able to take cash do especially if you aren't sure if they take eftpos.
3 - Moisturize thoroughly around your eyebrows the morning before you get them done. This makes the skin softer which makes the hairs easier to pull out which equal less pain for you
4 - If you're like me and struggle to talk to people that you don't know, or you're bad at small talk get the person talking about themselves. For example today I brought up the subject of dogs and I knew that she had one of her own so I asked how he was and it went naturally from there.
5 - Don't be afraid to mention if you don't like the end product or if you can see something you want fixed, you're paying for this so you want to be happy with the result.

And that's it! All my tips for going to get your eyebrows done. Let me know if you have any tips that I should add to this list, and please feel free to leave some feedback or any requests for posts down in the comments or message me.

Until next time, be happy and stay gorgeous :3 xxx
