Hey Everyone! Sorry for the lack of seasonal posts (not that this is any better) but A levels have literally taken over my life, along with extra activities like pantomime rehearsals and driving lessons. Hopefully I will keep this up over the Winter holidays and the New Year because I would love to be as active as I was during the Summer!!

Anyway, today I'd like to write about my Friday Evening at my school's Winter Ball - celebrating the hard work we've all put into playing on the Foosball table in the common room  our AS/A levels so far and to, of course, celebrate Christmas itself. I absolutely loved the venue, the colours used to decorate were very seasonally appropriate and the dance floor was so much better than my prom!!

Onto my favourite part... GETTING READY!

As always, makeup is the best part whenever I'm getting ready to go out. The focus tonight was on my eyes because I wanted them to match my silver and black outfit. Before applying facial makeup, I went straight to my eyes because when black is involved, fallout is crazy!!! I stuck cellotape from underneath the corner of my eye to the point of my brow to create a smooth, neat line where the shadow and liner would finish. Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette came in handy; I applied verve over the top of Mac's Bare Study to form a silver undertone on the lid, followed by pistol in the crease to begin layering. Black Out, an intense, pure black, was placed in the outer corner and crease layer by layer until built to my desired look. I finished my eyes by placing silver glitter all over my lid.

I wore large, silver statement jewellery to cover up big areas of bare skin - i.e my neck and arms. I absolutely love the black and silver theme I went for, despite originally planning to wear royal blue, like my bestie Jess. Also, Jess offered to curl my locks because I wanted to make my hair really voluminous and bouncy to take attention away from my chubby face.

Before leaving for the ball, Jess and I met with our friend Harvey to take some cute selfies. We also had a couple glasses of Prosecco - maybe Harvey had a few too many glasses...

The night finished up being one of the best nights I've had in a long while. I absolutely loved spending time outside of school with new, and old, friends and having so much fun. Surprisingly, the music was fab too and everyone was dancing the entire evening (none of that awkward, tense atmosphere with noone on the dance floor). 

Thank you for reading, I hope to be posting again before Christmas. What would you like to see?

Lots of love

Hey guys, 

I've got a mini review for you today on the Essence Volumizing Lash Powder kit I purchased in Wilko for just £1.50. I was completely amazed by the outcome, considering how inexpensive the product was. I can't wait to show you what this cheap little kit has to offer to your lashes. Keep reading if you want to know how to achieve the same results as I do in the photos below.

Here goes...

Picture 1 - No Mascara
Picture 2 - With Macara
Picture 3 - Mascara and Lash Fibres

To achieve the best from this wonderful set, I firstly apply one coat of mascara, I used Benefit's They're Real, then the desired amount of fibres using the little brush provided. This can get messy but the more you use it, the quicker the process becomes. After applying the fibres, I apply a final coat of mascara to blacken the white fibres.

Honestly, I can see a distinct difference in my eyelashes, even from just the mascara to the fibres. I am so surprised with how much difference it has made to my lashes - not only lengthening but thickening too! Overall, they aren't horrifically messy or difficult to apply, the final piece is beyond fantastic AND you get a great deal for only a smidgen of your money. A definite repurchase!

I'm excited to try out more lash fibres in the future and would love it if you could leave a message letting me know if you have ever tried them before and your experiences. Maybe you could recommend a brand to me?
