I love statement tops! They are the ones that make the most conversation and get people noticing what things you are and aren’t into. My Run DMC muscle-T is one of my favourites because, number one: it’s not black like the other clothes in my wardrobe and number two: their songs get me dancing; especially ‘It’s Tricky’! (*starts doing running man*)
The
fact that there are endless amounts of band t-shirts and logo jumpers that
allow you to express yourself without having to say much at all makes me want
to buy more! I’m definitely into this trend and will probably still be wearing
these types of tops for quite a long time.

Where
do I even begin? There are so many products that I just can’t live without…beauty
products surround me wherever I go! These however are my must have essentials…
These
colourful beauties are my babies! I take them everywhere I go and have them in
almost every colour. They brighten up my day and moisturise my lips so much – I
really don’t know where I would be without them…
Lipsticks
Lipsticks: 1 – Coquette by Chanel, 2 – Please Me by MAC, 3 – Angel by MAC, 4 – Faux by MAC, 5 – Flavour by MAC, 6 – Peachstock by MAC and 7 – Romy by L’Oréal Paris |
This
coats your lashes with just the right amount of mascara to make your eyes pop
without flaking and making them look too spidery. If you absolutely love your lashes looking full and voluminous, this mascara is for you, particularly
when you want to finish off that look you spent ages trying to perfect.
This
industrial strength concealer is my secret to concealing those horrible
blemishes that appear out of nowhere! I use this every time I apply my make-up probably
because, for some odd reason, even if I have had a good night’s sleep, there is always those dark circles under my eyes that do not go AWAY!!
These
are my go-to eye shadows, especially for autumn and winter! A quick swipe of
these colours makes your eyes go from blaaa to yaaa!! The earthy tones give
some depth to the overall look of your eyes and the added shimmer gives you
that extra pazazz – I can’t believe I just used that word!
You
can see that I have used these two palettes A LOT! They form the basis of my
daily make-up routine and without them I would be truly lost. The two cheek
blushes can be mixed together to add a nice, warm colour to your face and the
highlighters are perfect for…well…highlighting your face and making you look
that extra bit glowy. The eye shadow palette on the other hand is very flexible
as there are various colours that can give your eyes a more natural look whilst
adding extra shimmer.
This skin-clearing facial wash has been my absolute favourite out of all the skin care products that I have tried. I may still get those inevitable blemishes that sometimes appear but all the excess oil I have is removed and my skin is always left feeling fresh and matte, which is a definite must for me at all times!
One
thing I hate after washing my face is using face creams that contain oil. I
often avoid them because I’m constantly worrying that blemishes are going to
start appearing on my face. This oil free moisturiser is just what I need
and the fresh, fruity fragrance makes my skin feel cool and clean.
Ahhhhh,
I love this smell!! I really can’t describe it but I‘ll try anyway (*takes a
deep breath*), okay so this fragrance is completely and utterly amazing!!! Victoria’s
Secret never fails to disappoint, this mist is perfect for a night out plus the
exotic florals and sultry notes help to give it a sense of mystery.
This
beauty blender is soft and will help to blend in your make-up perfectly. You
can choose to use it dry or damp but personally, for the best results, I tend
to use it dry and rinse it out afterwards to stop it getting clogged up with
the products that I’ve used.
Whenever
my eyebrows are messy and all over the place, this eyebrow brush helps to
smooth them out and makes them look all neat and tidy – what more could I ask
for?!

I honestly cannot believe that it is February already; we're already two months into the new year! If
you’re anything like me, starting a new year is a momentous occasion because
it’s your chance to start afresh and see the world in a new light. There are so
many people that make New Year’s resolutions and are able to stick to them but
I however am useless at doing that! So I have decided that for this year, 2015 (it
feels so good writing that!), I am going to become a more efficient and more motivated
person so that I can reach those dreams and goals that I have had for such a long time!
In order to make this happen,
I have made a list of all the things that I want to have done by the end
of this year and although I am slightly nervous about what is to come, I am also
excited to be able to have the chance to improve myself and come closer to my
full potential. My list features personal goals concerning my basic
lifestyle, such as my exercise regime, motivation and even time management
(something that I struggle with).
I have recently discovered a
brilliant website that gives you ways in which you can improve your life – www.lifehack.org. This site is by far one of
the best that I have found, mainly because it encourages you and makes you more
inspired rather than simply suggesting that you can’t change now, you’re past
that point, there’s no going back from that negative state of mind.
It’s very easy to think that
to make yourself better you have to make sudden changes but the truth is when you do this it's harder to adjust. Taking smaller steps may take longer but the journey will perhaps be easier for you.
If you’re thinking about
turning over a new leaf and making your life better for you, then comment down below and tell me about the things that
you want to change in your life and how you’re going to go about doing it.
P.S. "Be the change you wish to see"
XOXO
