Hello to all my lovely followers and visitors to my blog :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
It has been a while since I have posted and I apologise, however life has been busy with so much going on, only now have I had a chance to photograph one of my favourite fashion fix items in my wardrobe; my Patchwork Cardigan. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is something I have been wanting to share with you all for sooo long, however the weather or other circumstances have not permitted it, until now. So lets start shall we? </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I purchased this Patchwork Cardigan for £14 and I just love it's lush mix of patchwork colours, with the light cream, black and mustard yellow harmoniously combined together. Plus, it is one of the most comfortable items you will ever own in your wardrobe; a very attractive trait for any piece of clothing.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
My Patchwork Cardigan is also a highly versatile item for any wardrobe, with so many items you can pair it with to give off a perfect casual vibe. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
For this outfit, I paired the Patchwork Cardigan with my Blue Washout Cut-off Jeans, Black Halter-neck Chiffon Top and Black Trainers for an effortless, yet put-together look. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXdy1eEu-XTrmUEmPo-6YaC_-JYq0IbLjoqL0rNFJqTtjDG7dBQKHvUrdXEwKYbt-yKb1GFxAzLJbLRSJt37534eOwck9FiwIk0UwOZD67vW8Rjm3_D5d0ODQNdt78qxj8qhXBATwZtr0h/s1600/side+view.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXdy1eEu-XTrmUEmPo-6YaC_-JYq0IbLjoqL0rNFJqTtjDG7dBQKHvUrdXEwKYbt-yKb1GFxAzLJbLRSJt37534eOwck9FiwIk0UwOZD67vW8Rjm3_D5d0ODQNdt78qxj8qhXBATwZtr0h/s320/side+view.jpg" width="213" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Patchwork Cardigan's versatility is also catered towards a vast majority of the seasons, with this cardigan being suitable for Autumn, Winter, and Spring, as seen in this post. During Autumn and Winter, you can wear it alongside boots, jeans and a warm coat, and alone with jeans and shoes as seen in this outfit.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This Patchwork Cardigan really is a wardrobe keeper, with it's affordability, comfort and lush mix of colours. It's the perfect item to spice up any everyday look, whist giving off a made-up, effortless vibe; the definite must have for any wardrobe.</div>

Now it's been a while since I posted because things have been very hectic with the Christmas period over and the new year in tow ( happy New Year everyone :) ). I have been busy working 10.5-12 hour shifts at work non-stop which have left me exhausted and run down with a cold :( However I booked myself off some well deserved holiday this month and am glad to say I can't wait to blog about an makeup look and product that I have wanted to post about for a long time; so here it is :)<br />

Today the makeup product I am blogging about is one of my favourite brands' eye shadow palettes: Technic's Mega Mattes Eye shadow palette, which I was influenced to buy after I came across Technic's Mega Nudes Eye Shadow palettes that came in three series, which I bought 2 of the 3 series: Technic Mega Nudes 2 and Technic Mega Nudes 3; both big favourites of mine (so a post about these will follow soon).<br />
<br />
Now if you follow my blog, and from reading the above text, you will know I am a big fan of Technic's products, especially their eye shadows because of the affordability, quality and the non-animal testing of their products. I purchased Technic's Mega Mattes Palette for the amazing price of £2.99 and I can say for sure that money hasn't gone to waste.<br />
<br />
I love Technic's Mega Mattes Eye shadow because of the smooth consistency the matte shadow has and the lovely nude to neutral colours that look so natural and effortless for an everyday look that takes just a few minutes to achieve.<br />

Like I normally do, I have given a name to each eye shadow colour around the theme of cafe drinks, because of the coffee and cappuccino like colours they have, and also to add a bit of fun to the makeup looks I create.<br />
<br />
To create this look, I firstly applied my everyday makeup, concealer, foundation and setting powder. I then took my flat eye shadow brush and gently applied the eye shadow for this look called 'Cappuccino' and gently placed onto my eyelids using light patting motions to distribute the eye shadow evenly and reduce fallout of the shadow under my eyes.<br />
<br />
Taking my eye shadow blending brush, I then began to blend the eye shadow into the eye socket and along the eyelids to create a smokey look. I further applied a little more to the outer eyelids to build the smokey look with the shadow. To finish off, I applied mascara to my eye lashes and gently dusted away any excess eye shadow under my eyes using my powder brush to compete my look.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The finished look</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
For a bigger impact with this look, such as for special occasions in the day or night, you can also add a dark lipstick to finish the look off, which I did using one of my favourite lipsticks, Rimmel's Long Lasting Lipstick in 'Asia'; to aid this dark smokey makeup look and transform this look into what I call Smokey Berry Cappuccino Look 😘.<br />
<br />
<br />
There you go, my Smoke Cappuccino look using Technic's Mega Mattes Eye shadow palette. I hope this makeup look was of interest and maybe even of great use for anyone looking for an affordable makeup look that is effortless yet effective for everyday wear or even night time wear for occasions such as parties or events 😃<br />

Hello to all my followers and visitors to my blog 😊</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Today I thought I'd share a product with you all that is ideal for the everyday skincare budget and that I am pretty impressed with at the moment; Boots Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Charcoal Facial wash.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEZ51GJjQiV1xVqCdXnDqAIC5OXWDkyx5DVVheVRuwTKC49uVRcn5DwULABMDMmdE_kQnW0Buvk6MYJRy3qrAABznm5IchkrjbGhGIa5XKenOjOw4xRdMWaVtr44er1of3AabXkKGRBl-r/s1600/20171017_122902.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEZ51GJjQiV1xVqCdXnDqAIC5OXWDkyx5DVVheVRuwTKC49uVRcn5DwULABMDMmdE_kQnW0Buvk6MYJRy3qrAABznm5IchkrjbGhGIa5XKenOjOw4xRdMWaVtr44er1of3AabXkKGRBl-r/s400/20171017_122902.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have used Boots own skincare brands for years due to the effectiveness of their products on my combination skin; which is highly sensitive to other big brands such as Nivea which aggravates my skin, makes it go red and inflammed or Simple which made my skin produce excess oils because the product would dry my skin out. Since I was sixteen, I have used Boots trusty Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Foaming Face Wash and Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Night Gel (both really good products for combination skin :) ) to help control my skin in the lead up to prom (accompanied by an all important healthy diet to aid skin health including natural yogurt and berries to provide antioxidants for my skin) and the results were so good, I've kept using their skincare ever since and I'll be 20 next week. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And this leads me onto my newest addition to their skincare brand, the Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Charcoal Facial Wash which works a treat on my skin, and here's why I love it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I purchased the facial wash which has active charcoal in it for £4.75, which is a pretty average price for a product with charcoal in it, that, as you all may have noticed, is a MASSIVE beauty and skincare trend at the moment. And although the price of £4.75 isn't the cheapest, I put it down in my affordable everyday skincare bucket, as I purchase it alongside my two other skincare necessities, Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Foaming Face Wash and Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Night Gel, in a 3 for 2 offer, meaning I buy the Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Charcoal Facial Wash and Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Foaming Face Wash and get the Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Night Gel free; meaning I have saved £3.29 in this offer on skincare items I use everyday.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYDUOqCSJFeleQLGdVlS0OgmsLFO-fLSNh6xH3x0RLXEaTdqCh5ZH7wPNbrnlgSnkPxlNI-BfiQ9_UhXmz0WXLFINoXmM8UrbgTf4fbhCINrgDPYHmNT7rGXBBzJyiuHkrp44A_42AXjqn/s1600/20171017_122814.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYDUOqCSJFeleQLGdVlS0OgmsLFO-fLSNh6xH3x0RLXEaTdqCh5ZH7wPNbrnlgSnkPxlNI-BfiQ9_UhXmz0WXLFINoXmM8UrbgTf4fbhCINrgDPYHmNT7rGXBBzJyiuHkrp44A_42AXjqn/s400/20171017_122814.jpg" width="225" /></a>But aside from the cost and convenience, another reason why I love this face wash is because of the calming effect it has on my skin, with tea tree and witch hazel naturally reducing inflammation and acting as an antibacterial, and the active charcoal drawing out impurities which in turn helps my skin to heal effectively. This means that I can apply the Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Charcoal Facial Wash to my face once I have wet it in warm water, and leave it on my skin to soak in, kind of like a mask, and reduce inflammation, which immediately leaves my skin feeling refreshed and looking brighter and less inflamed; an unlikely experience for most of us with combination skin, where companies claim their products work straight away but yet we see no difference. And as an occasional skincare product once or twice a week to replace my everyday Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Foaming Face Wash on occasional days, which may I add actually works unlike many other products, the cost is well worth the positive effects I experience. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To add, because of the facial wash's effectiveness, I use it like a face mask because of the beneficial charcoal it has in it, leaving the product to work on my skin twice or once a week, depending on the condition of my skin, such as when my skin feels sore or is inflammed with blemishes; I will put the wash on for 10 minutes and then wash it off with warm water. And the best bit being that the facial wash sits like a mask on your face yet isn't a face mask designed to dry, it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and tight unlike other products I have tried in the past, and is easier to remove when washing off. </div>
<br />
<br />
Thank you for reading, I hope this was helpful for anyone like myself who lives with combination skin and is willing to try a skincare product that actually shows results.<br />
<br />
Yours truly,<br />
<br />

Recently it has occurred to me watching different You tube videos, reading different blogs and magazines that many people, mainly women do not express their natural hair and let it run wild. And whilst I myself have let my hair do its own thing, (mainly as I'm too lazy in the mornings ) alongside a bit of help from myself in terms of straightening my fringe so that it doesn't cover my eyes and stick up like it does in the morning -think of a lion main and then you'll get the image of my hair in its 'true' form in the morning-, I have noticed that as time goes by and the less I touch it, the more it's natural curl is more defined and the easier it is to get ready in the mornings due to only touching the top part of my hair when I get ready. And this makes me feel good about myself; expressing my self and loving myself for who I am.<br />
<br />
I hear and talk to many people who say they "hate" their natural hair because it's too wild or too curly or too frizzy to deal with. And whatever the reason I always think to myself; why don't we all accept ourselves, become happier within and go about life not caring what others think about us because we're happy about who we are as individuals.<br />
<br />

And this example leads me onto my intentions for this blog post today, the issue of so many of us not embracing who we are and accepting ourselves for who we truly are. I can think of so many times in my life when I was a young teenager and still getting to know who I am that I really didn't like myself. I mean it, I would criticise myself for everything! And unfortunately society seems to encourage this criticism in the media, in our lives and it even appears ingrained into our human nature. For instance, adverts would portray models with slender waists and thigh gaps and 'perfect' skin and I would just compare myself as the 16 year old Caris who didn't like who she was. And unfortunately I still see this today and hear others compare themselves to these 'ideals' in society.<br />
<br />
Recently I have been thinking about things, about myself and my goals for life, and one thing that I want to express to everyone in the hope I can help anyone who struggles to love who they are, whatever your reason I am not judging, I want to highlight something that rings loud and clear in my mind: you must be happy in life and happy within yourself no matter what anyone else thinks; because you are important and only you can truly make yourself feel this way. In the past, the way others have treated me has lead me to believe I should't be myself or like myself for who I am. This has occurred through bullying I have experienced from those I thought I could trust, but instead who turned against me because I was different to them and because I thought differently to them. I am glad to say now I have found friends who I feel I fit in with, be it the topics I can discuss to our personalities and general heck-do-it attitude that has helped us push ourselves to achieve better. But I only felt I fit in when I became happy with who I am and adopted my current motto of "be yourself no matter what anyone thinks because you are amazing". Today I feel happy to be me, and happy to go through life trying not to worry about things unless it really is necessary; even when I have days where my emotions make me feel angry and unhappy with who I am. Because expressing yourself takes time that only you can develop into life mottos through your experiences.<br />

And I know that I may not truly understand the experiences others may face towards understanding themselves, we are all different individuals experiencing life in so many ways we could not compare ourselves to one another; but I just wanted to say in this post today, that I want everyone to express themselves however they please, be it through your amazing fashion sense, your makeup slaying skills or your personality lighting up conversations when you enter the room. Be it your blogs like those I am inspired by on Bloglovin with bloggers truly expressing themselves to the world. Because I have spoken to so many people who are afraid to be themselves, afraid to express themselves, such as those who criticise themselves from their hair, their body, just everything. I want to emphasise that we all deserve happiness and deserve to feel great for who we are, in our own way and in our own time. So express yourself, find out new things bout yourself that allow you to express your personality, such as how I have through blogging for three years which has enabled me to express my interests in fashion, beauty an travel to so many people; that in turn, makes me happy to be me.<br />
<br />
Thank you for reading, I hope this was helpful and an insight to others the way I feel we should all be ,<br />

Yours truly,<br />

Hello to all my followers and visitors to my blog.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCquxPCG-xfhgPvLC75f9XwwCwOLoTgC912DtzLr9Ul3aX6cRuDMM8omd3QJGVs02DI2BgK7oSRPvmOglMXvlTx-Pa5tfcwEYcf6qBGy-hHnVrABN_Id9jKePCaSNFn32F8x61oVGu79Cz/s1600/mum+jean1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCquxPCG-xfhgPvLC75f9XwwCwOLoTgC912DtzLr9Ul3aX6cRuDMM8omd3QJGVs02DI2BgK7oSRPvmOglMXvlTx-Pa5tfcwEYcf6qBGy-hHnVrABN_Id9jKePCaSNFn32F8x61oVGu79Cz/s400/mum+jean1.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
Today I am sharing my new outfit for this September which I am in love with right now; my Hummingbird Embroidered Ripped Mum Jean which cost me just £19.99, a great price for ripped and embroidered style jeans.<br />
As some of you may already know from my previous post, I am currently obsessed with embroidered denim and I have also been obsessed with the 90's denim looks this year (which you all likely have noticed 😄) because I just love the vibes they radiate.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEXz0050_UUjnKBezv2axFN1DQXEsjbob6Vkpj63575mA0R3glXkYiEhghNM4dXkvoPXlim1nOJn3myfLtcQCy0ZfGxcHofYlnTkL9QV5GQ3pPXAEox3zY8n6uI7flCC9VKQ8FDDaQZ_Mf/s1600/close+up+embroidery+jean.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEXz0050_UUjnKBezv2axFN1DQXEsjbob6Vkpj63575mA0R3glXkYiEhghNM4dXkvoPXlim1nOJn3myfLtcQCy0ZfGxcHofYlnTkL9QV5GQ3pPXAEox3zY8n6uI7flCC9VKQ8FDDaQZ_Mf/s320/close+up+embroidery+jean.jpg" width="320" /></a>And that leads me onto my new Hummingbird Embroidered Ripped Mum Jeans that I love with the intricate details sewn into the denim such as the flowers and the hummingbird, and the laid back, lazy day chic look Mum jeans radiate. Mum jeans are a big thing in the fashion industry at the moment, and I can see why. They are extremely comfortable with the loose fit mum jeans have and the rolled <br />
up ankles that give off a relaxed vibe.<br />
<br />
To add, Mum jeans are extremely versatile, with the ability to be styled with multiple different clothing items and styles; such as leather jackets and boots, jumpers, cardigans and loose fit, over-sized t-shirts.<br />

<br />
For this outfit, I styled my Hummingbird Embroidered Ripped Mum Jeans with my White Ribbed High Neck Top and my White Canvas Trainers for a laid back look.<br />
This look can also be paired with a Black Leather Jacket and Black Boots for this September's current transitioning weather here in the UK, which is slowly transforming into frosty Autumn.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For Winter my Hummingbird Embroidered Ripped Mum Jeans can be paired with a white or grey Chunky Knit Jumper, and Black Boots. In the Spring, they can be paired with my White Ribbed High Neck Top and White trainers, and White Key Hole Top and White Trainers for Summer. <br />
Whatever the season, these Hummingbird Embroidered Ripped Mum Jeans are a great fashion statement item to wear for an everyday, relaxed out, effortless look; whilst looking great at the same time.<br />

<br />
Today I am posting about a new favourite clothing item lately, my Floral Embroidered Skinny Jeans. I am in love with denim and floral embroidery at the moment, so when I saw these jeans I had to snatch them up; especially with a 20% off offer on the jeans resulting in an overall cost of just £12.80! <br />
<br />
For this look, I paired my Floral Embroidered Skinny Jeans with my White Waterfall, Spit Back Blouse for a elegant, casual look and my white trainers. I upturned and rolled the bottom of the jeans to show my ankles and add an edgy, casual feel to the outfit; something I always do with jeans and that has become a trend obsession of mine.<br />
<br />

The Floral Embroidered Skinny Jeans can be worn with my Waterfall, Split-back White Blouse and white trainers during the Summer as seen in the photographs above. For Autumn, this outfit can be coordinated alongside a Long, Over-Sized, Grey Cardigan, or with a Chunky Knit White Jumper during Winter. Whatever I mix it up with it looks great 😃<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And the most important factor alongside style; comfort. These Floral Embroidered Skinny Jeans are extremely comfortable for a skinny jean. They have a soft touch denim feel, and are not too skinny to the point where you feel suffocated by the jeans, unlike other skinny jeans I have come across. These jeans also have a good amount of elastic to them, meaning you can move around all day long without being restricted; which is great when you're walking around everywhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
My Floral Embroidered Skinny Jeans are the perfect clothing item this year, and highly versatile, something that's highly important when it comes to statement items. They are a definite yes when you're looking for something interesting, different, yet comfortable and affordable.<br />

Now, I love Culottes. They are just so different from your usual trousers and their quirky vibe they present is something I love; making your outfit look individual and different. And individuality is something I view as very important, especially when expressing it through fashion choices like I make every day.<br />
<br />
So let me introduce you to my very individualistic Black Tie Waist Culottes that I adore so much! I purchased my Black Tie Waist Culottes from Quiz for an amazing £9.99, one of my favourite brands for more individual or higher fashion clothing items, such as for occasions, and I just love them. <br />
<br />
Culottes are on trend at the moment this Summer in the fashion industry and I can see why, with the edgy look they give off and the versatility of the look, I wear my Culottes for both nights out or special occasions. I pair my Black Tie Waist Culottes with my White Key Hole Crop Top, Open Toe, Chunky Heels, Black Leather Jacket and Black Bag for nights out or special occasions; and my White Key Hole Crop Top, Black Loafers (which I am obsessed with), Black Bag and Black Leather Jacket during the day for a comfy edgy look. The best part is that because the leg is so wide, they are so cool and comfortable to wear in the summer. <br />

I think one great characteristic is that they're simple but different, so you can mix them with anything you want, something I definitely noticed in London for the <br />
weekend with friends in June.<br />
<br />
It was when I went to London with friends to celebrate finishing A-Level exams, that I wore these Black Tie Waist Culottes for the first time, after feeling too shy to wear them previously and because it wasn't Summer; so I packed them in my suitcase as a outfit for going out for a meal with my friends in London. When wearing them, two of my friends complimented me on my Tie Waist Culottes, which was nice as it helped me feel more confident than I did about them.<br />
And the next day on Oxford Street, in London, this girl I didn't know approached me, also a Culotte fan wearing a Burgundy Culotte <br />
Jumpsuit and white trainers (which looked so nice) asked where I got my Culottes from and complimented me on them before walking off again. This made my day, as a complete stranger loved my Tie Waist Culottes so much she wanted to know where they were from 😃 <br />

And I kid you not, Culottes where everywhere in London that weekend! It was like a Culotte fashion show.<br />
<br />
However, I did not plan to wear them during the day with my brogues, and my discovery of the daytime outfit was basically an accident when I forgot to pack another top for the weekend, as I had to take the one intended for the last day the day I drove to Oxford to get the bus because my previous top's button broke 😒 So long story short, I chucked on my Tie Waist Culottes with my White Key Hole Crop Top, Black Loathers and Black Bag and Black Leather Jacket and it actually looked pretty good as I kept admiring myself in London's shop windows. And I am glad that top broke, because otherwise I never would have discovered the daytime Tie Waist Culotte look nor received the compliment that I did that sunny weekend in London.<br />

Hello my lovely followers and visitors 😃</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Today I thought I would share a bit of information on my latest holiday to Wales, which I returned from mid July. This year my family and myself and our three dogs went to Wales for the second year in a row, where we stayed in a lovely old detached house in Llanon facing the seaside.<br />
The journey took approximately 4 1/2 hours, but when we got there the house was lovely.<br />
<br />

The home was a lush blue on the outside and the interior design and layout was very nice, with extremely old stairs that possessed carpet holders made out of wood which would keep the rugs on the stairs in place. Looking closely at the wooden staircase you could tell it was an old house, with the wood carvings created in great detail and the stairs faded by years of sunlight where the rug was not placed.<br />
<br />
After unpacking our things we set off to look at the seaside in a neighbouring town. The view was great with rock faces in the distance, and the comforting sound of the waves crashing onto the shore before retreating. <br />
<br />

We visited the beach near Llanrhystud multiple times that week, which is situated about a 5 minute drive from Llanon. Another place we visited which I found interesting was the Silver Mountain Experience, a old mine open to tourists and the public to explore, learn historical facts about and that possessed rumors of ghosts and witches.<br />
<br />
<br />
We even had a tour into the mines which were dark, damp and extremely cold, but which I found amazingly interesting with my interest in history.<br />

Our tour guide even told us about multiple ghosts claimed to have been sighted and heard by tourists and staff, such as one ghosts of a young boy who one day messed around with the framework and fell to his death. This I found chilling as I believe that we all must go somewhere when we die and that ghosts are likely real, and after the tour guide told us about this ghost, and directed us towards the exit, I couldn't help but feel as someone or something was behind me, like the way you feel when you feel something's presence near you; but I turned around and there was<br />
no one there except the old framework where the boy had fallen. This made me wonder if there really was someone there or if it was a placebo effect from my brain after being told ghosts had been sighted. But with the historical information of the mines causing over 40 deaths a week I can't help but not be surprised if there are ghosts from the poor who worked from the age they could crawl until their premature deaths, and so decided to keep them in my mind as I felt sympathetic for the workers struggle to survive, and grateful for life today and the opportunities it provided for us.<br />

Further on in the week, we visited The Magic of Life Butterfly House in CwmRheidol, Aberystwyth which I thought was amazing, and was one of the best places I've been to, housing so many beautiful, elegant and colourful butterflies which were all very friendly and in great condition, alongside amazing Scorpions which turn turquoise under UV light, Hercules Beatles, giant moths, Tarantulas and many more exotic insects that looked content in their homes. One of my favourite Butterflies was the Blue Morpho butterfly with it's amazing bright blue winds which sweep past your face; and after <br />

much perseverance and following the butterflies around waiting to catch a picture of their blue wings, I finally got a clear image which you can see above😄🎆<br />

It makes me sad to think grand estate homes were demolished or left to become derelict and abandoned due to the poverty that Britain faced. However, much to my delight, Hafod Church is preserved alongside the forest, and the Estate is now run and preserved by the Hafod Trust, which is supported by the Welsh government. Hafod Estate is a great place to visit, offering amazing opportunities to take some lovely images and the estate is free to access with a charitable donation.<br />

It's church houses hundreds of years of history and that is still in use today; hosting a visitors book with visitors from across the globe or in neighbouring locations. The oldest gravestone date I could find was from 1570, which proves how much history the church possessed! I <br />
have included a few images, not the best lighting as they were inside an old stone church, that I assume were provided by the Hafod Trust alongside the support of the Welsh Government, which give historical information about Hafod Estate and the area :)<br />
<br />
The estate was lovely, with multiple forest walks you could take, which were great for our working, energetic dogs; and one of which we took included walking alongside and on extremely high cliffs, hills and a waterfall for 2 1/2 hours; <br />

exploring is the best thing about holidays in Wales and I love it. The waterfall was amazing with the clear water and the multiple rocks gathered around it. Overall, we had a great day and so did the dogs, who were tired after their long walk. <br />

On one of the last days, my family and myself set off for horse riding lessons, something my mum had booked after years of hearing me complain about never having horse riding lessons and wanting to try. The lessons were great, and to my surprise, the teacher said I was " very good" and "skilled" at horse riding, when it was the first time I'd ever ridden a horse and first lesson I had taken in my life 😇 I guess I shall just have to see if I can continue to learn 😁 The best part was that the horse I had was called Nepolian, and rather accurately too, as he was very assertive and bossy, moving to the right to see ahead of the other horses and constantly trying to get to the front of the line to lead 😄<br />
We also visited Llanerchaeron House, a house still in perfect condition and opened and run by the National Trust. When first attained by The National Trust, it was in a derelict, overgrown state, but is now restored to a perfect structure with so many places to see.<br />

The home was massive, and kept in such good condition including the servant bedrooms, wine cellar, kitchen, bedrooms and all the small rooms outside that servants worked in such as the cheese room which hosted old equipment like barrels to churn the milk, and a laundry room which included old irons placed onto a standing stove which <br />
would heat them up when they were placed onto the edges on shelves, and a very old turning barrel where washing would be placed with soap and churned, much like a very early washing machine. Llanerchaeron House also had gardens restored and on view for the public. Outside near the entrance was a small, pop up cafe that served delicious food from meals to cakes.<br />

The national Trust had created the house into a flash back in time, placing historical details, such as a newspaper dating back to Queen Elizabeth's II's Coronation and old magazines dated back to the 1930's and 1940's.<br />
<br />
Overall, my holiday was full of interesting sights to see and history; and I loved every part of it. Wales I believe hosts so many natural landscapes that are amazing to see and many historical places to visit; alongside scenic beaches and seaside creatures.<br />

Today I am going to share with you all one of my favourite makeup looks that I have been adopting of late and one of my best makeup products to use; my Bourbon Rose Blusher Look that I have created and have been wearing pretty much every day this summer, which I feel perfectly suits the summer weather.<br />
<br />
This blusher look is created using Technic Baked Blusher in Peach, costing me the great price of £2.99! I love Technic makeup because of the affordability of their products and the amazing quality their makeup radiates when worn. This blusher is my absolute favourite, with it's peachy-pink tones being the perfect pigmentation for my pale skin tone.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXyfaMN1sJwhQisjo3RH3zoW_Cs5YDixKsrV0r8414_fs55Y95yVExnl7vm-CZDdlNClE06at0sFwpjg_xx6ETdEhNNF2LD9-N7RtTKJPMumvp5UvH1b0VD8mpcDyVyNe1h4jv41cERxc8/s1600/this1absoluteforblog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1042" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXyfaMN1sJwhQisjo3RH3zoW_Cs5YDixKsrV0r8414_fs55Y95yVExnl7vm-CZDdlNClE06at0sFwpjg_xx6ETdEhNNF2LD9-N7RtTKJPMumvp5UvH1b0VD8mpcDyVyNe1h4jv41cERxc8/s320/this1absoluteforblog.jpg" width="208" /></a>One great characteristic of this Technic Baked Blusher, is that it has an amazing shimmer that mimics the illuminating effect of highlighter, creating the 2-in-1 effect of a highlighter and blusher all at once. Another great characteristic of all Technic products that I own, is Technic's 'Against Animal Testing' label on the bottom of all their products, making the product even more worth its cost with the knowledge your product wasn't applied to an animal during testing; which is something I find extremely difficult to find these days for an affordable price due to the large volume of popular brands that still test on animals.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYtmlSL3WDbMJCuDdiaWCe_VNc0LzMn2xLFHddF_4tdD4qi8BUVOawVGcskKtaWVdZcHPwghKX_dUvTdzUmhJZjm-MblZu0vCKsIdt1jZvXsjtF1PVUNTNVWQgOx4qmDSkL6pSPBi8r_hk/s1600/thisforside1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="998" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYtmlSL3WDbMJCuDdiaWCe_VNc0LzMn2xLFHddF_4tdD4qi8BUVOawVGcskKtaWVdZcHPwghKX_dUvTdzUmhJZjm-MblZu0vCKsIdt1jZvXsjtF1PVUNTNVWQgOx4qmDSkL6pSPBi8r_hk/s320/thisforside1.jpg" width="199" /></a>The lush baked texture Technic's Baked Blusher has is the best characteristic for any makeup lover like myself. I adore baked makeup products because they always appear to hold such an intense shimmer, allowing you to easily apply an even amount of product onto your face, which doesn't cake or powder like other non-baked products I have used in the past. As a result, Technic Baked Blusher makes application extremely effective with just a few strokes using a blusher brush resulting in an intense, subtle application of blusher; that appears perfectly and doesn't take long to achieve like some non baked blushes I have used, which just never seem to apply enough to make the blusher visible yet look natural at the same time.<br />
<br />
Following the effective application of blusher, Technic Baked Blusher works to illuminate a healthy glow without any build up of blusher, with the blusher spreading evenly onto your face; radiating a healthy, peachy glow perfect for summer and making me feeling great.<br />
<br />
This Bourbon Rose Blusher Look I have created can also be tailored to other seasons such as spring, with the soft pigmentation creating the perfect makeup look for any occasion.<br />

Hello all my lovely followers and visitors to my blog :) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Recently I have been trying Avon's Clearskin Pore Penetrating Black Mineral Mask and I have to say I think it's a great skincare product to use to treat your skin to a deep treatment cleanse. Due to the warm summer weather, my skin has been suffering pretty badly of late in terms of blemishes, and so I decided to find a face mask that's affordable to purchase, and easy and effective to use. As the result of my search, I came across Avon's Clearskin Pore Penetrating Black Mineral Mask, and being a fan of Avon products because of their affordability and effectiveness, and strict no animal testing moral they have for all their products (<a href="http://www.avoncompany.com/corporate-responsibility/about-cr/positions-policies/animal-welfare/" target="_blank">see here if interested in reading</a>), I couldn't help but to order myself a tube of face mask and wait to see the results.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7TqeQ736bEqIQiZEYDCUnWUOXD1ycr0TmoHXS0qIDXXHbvJaPMAMnvOon7SyMe1JfEAv00CkW6O6ZX1_w9tUS4jD0jNzn99mf-Kz3YRhlJmu4f_bXkffzM3Hs0UoX_aV9G3ulC2-Q6wpe/s1600/deffo+this+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1125" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7TqeQ736bEqIQiZEYDCUnWUOXD1ycr0TmoHXS0qIDXXHbvJaPMAMnvOon7SyMe1JfEAv00CkW6O6ZX1_w9tUS4jD0jNzn99mf-Kz3YRhlJmu4f_bXkffzM3Hs0UoX_aV9G3ulC2-Q6wpe/s400/deffo+this+1.jpg" width="281" /></a>I ordered Avon's Clearskin Pore Penetrating Black Mineral Mask from Avon's catelogue (you can also head over <a href="https://www.avon.uk.com/product/1017/clearskin-pore-penetrating-black-mineral-mask?cb=1721218968" target="_blank"> www.Avon.co.com</a> site to purchase their products), and it cost me just £2.50 for a 75ml tube, which is an amazingly affordable price for a mineral face mask skincare product. When using the face mask, I was surprised by the masks ability to actually penetrate the pores of my skin, leaving tiny little dots in the face mask where the pores on my skin were once the mask had dried. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When using Avon's Clearskin Pore Penetrating Black Mineral Mask after 10-15 minutes, I rinsed the mask off, and it left my skin feeling soft and smooth, alongside being the first face mask I had tried that hadn't left my skin dry; proving that this face mask is a pretty great product to use. I've continued to use the face mask, applying it 2-3 times a week and waiting for the mask to turn grey when dry after 10-15 minutes before rinsing it off, and the results are great. Not only does the mask leave my skin smooth and soft, but it also helps to resolve blemishes by penetrating the pores on my face, and as a result I suffer from less blemishes reappearing where they were previously due to enlarged or blocked pores.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Overall I would rate Avon's Clearskin Pore Penetrating Black Mineral Mask 5 out of 5, because it does what it says on the tube and helps to reduce blemishes from appearing and reappearing; something that I am overjoyed about for someone who's skin is effected so easily by variety of factors from temperature and weather, hormones, food and stress such as from lack of sleep. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another great characteristic about Avon's Clearskin Pore Penetrating Black Mineral Mask, is that I can apply it to my face, and during the 10-15 minutes whilst I wait for it to dry, I can do other things, leaving the mask time to cleanse my skin whilst I get on with other jobs; making the mask time efficient and effective unlike some face masks I've used in the past which take a the long time for the product to work.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So I urge anyone with skin like mine, and who's willing to try Avon's Pore Penetrating Black Mineral Mask to go ahead, and quickly purchase a tube whilst Avon still have this product on offer for £2.50, because I love it and it's a perfect face mask to help cleanse and treat my skin for a effective deep cleanse. </div>

Hello my lovely followers and visitors 😃</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Recently with the British weather warming up as we enjoy Summer, I have finally dared for the first time since I became a teenager, to not wear tights when out in public. This is solely because as I've become older, (turning 20 soon in November yikes! ) I have become more comfortable to be me, and as the result, I decided to no longer wear tights in the summer, because lets be honest why would I wear them, when I swear down not wearing tights is so much more comfortable in this intense British heat; and when I question the feeling that I'm expected to have perfect legs when in fact they are not perfect and I am perfectly contempt with that.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdqFH1asdzQKp_fnXdKjASIpBuJOya8xMZrJtDaOLnoGMfGjux2uTHgAf8ue359alvL_Zst9Q284QlcVKgV1msPH0o5bz3Id5_4QjA4Fv9eGyrJg8g5P2vBAiiuxVc9OpWvIG-RkuXWA-2/s1600/this+one+now.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="822" data-original-width="1600" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdqFH1asdzQKp_fnXdKjASIpBuJOya8xMZrJtDaOLnoGMfGjux2uTHgAf8ue359alvL_Zst9Q284QlcVKgV1msPH0o5bz3Id5_4QjA4Fv9eGyrJg8g5P2vBAiiuxVc9OpWvIG-RkuXWA-2/s400/this+one+now.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
As the result of this, one thing that I have been taking care of, is moisturising my legs so that they look healthy but are completely natural during these summer months. And the one moisturising cream that I love right now, is Garnier Intensive 7 Days Ultra- Replenishing Lotion, a perfect lotion to use and take on your travels this summer. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I decided to try this brand of moisturiser a few months ago, because I have always suffered from dry, itchy and sensitive skin, especially during changes in temperature from cold to hot, and decided enough was enough. In conjunction with this factor, I have always been searching for a afforable moisturiser that once applied, leaves my skin smooth and moisturised for the whole day, instead of moisturised for few hours before I experience itchy, dry skin again. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And I cannot emphasis enough how amazed I am at the results of using Garnier's Intensive 7 Days Ultra-Replenishing Lotion recently, because it really does what Garnier says on the bottle, having a "replenishing" effect on your skin. I have never come across ANY brand, and I really do mean any, that fully moisturises my skin the way Garnier's lotion does; and that I can find in shops at a affordable price. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Garnier 7 Days Intensive Ultra-Replenishing Lotion is my star winner this summer, because its the perfect beauty product that anyone can use to care for your skin this season with great results, be it alongside you in your room or on holiday near the seaside.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW9EOfgZKuTXvacDAZGDojqrwp2DSHZ2v3PzFcYiqny-UVJjn2Yo8i8Gwroi8fxwZPnUj4fYzjHLzwfGcsNRfwqv0sve1mEsB-CUbmYVr7T6dEjUJhqDEKYdwHKnoensXBlNmSifRBBMdE/s1600/20170712_111507-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="990" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW9EOfgZKuTXvacDAZGDojqrwp2DSHZ2v3PzFcYiqny-UVJjn2Yo8i8Gwroi8fxwZPnUj4fYzjHLzwfGcsNRfwqv0sve1mEsB-CUbmYVr7T6dEjUJhqDEKYdwHKnoensXBlNmSifRBBMdE/s400/20170712_111507-1.jpg" width="245" /></a> When I first tried Garnier 7 Days Intensive Ultra-Replenishing Lotion, applying it to my legs and arms, it had a cooling feeling to my skin, absorbed into my skin quickly, and left my arms and legs feeling silky and moisturised the whole day. Furthermore, even after showering the same day, my skin still felt smooth and moisturised! It's a miracle I swear because my skin never stays moisurised, especially after a shower! I will even go as far to emphasise this lotion to be so good, by telling you all that it lasts the whole night and day, after I applied it to my legs and arms after a shower, went to bed, woke up the next day, wore a skirt without tights, and walked around in 31'C (that is very hot for British weather) weather with still fully moisturised, replenished skin by the ed of the second day.<br />
<br />
Garnier's 7 Days Intensive Ultra-Replenishing Lotion also has helped my skin become healthier and more replenished; enabling it to stop becoming itchy and dry. Now even if I don't apply the lotion every night, but once a week, my skin stays moisturised. And after about a month of using Garnier 7 Days Intensive Ultra-Replenishing Lotion, my skin even stays moisturised 2 weeks after I stop applying it, with no itchy skin like I would normally have.<br />
<br />
Overall, I would rate this product a 4.5 out of 5, so I urge everyone with skin like mine to go ahead and purchase Garnier's 7 Days Ultra-Replenishing Lotion, because it really does help your skin become healthier, replenished, and rids you of itchy, dry, skin; leaving you feeling happier and healthier as you bask in the summer sunshine. Finally, I will also tell you that its pretty affordable too, considering the positive effects it has on your skin which you would find in a very expensive lotion from other top brands designed to help dry skin; costing me approximately £1.80 from Wilkinsons, my favourite affordable shop to buy great brands at great prices; now reduced on<a href="http://www.wilko.com/search?q=Garnier+7+day+Ultra+intensive+lotion" target="_blank"> www.wilko.com</a> from £3.00 to £1.80 which is an absolute bargain! <br />
<br />
p.s: check out the other Garnier products too I highly recommend them such as their Garnier Intensive 7 Days Restoring Hand Cream :)<br />

I want to firstly let you all know what has been happening in my life recently, so this part is a bit of side track from the topic of this post; but I'll be breif. Firstly, I have just finished my second year of A levels and therefore college, and I'm not going to lie I feel great :) I have been attending college for three years, doing a Btec when I was 16-17, and then A levels when I was 17-19 and it is finally over: making me feel ecstatic and sad at the same time.<br />

I recently had my exams, which to be completely honest drove me mad with stress. This is because the most stressful part, which I'm sure many others will understand, is that those in charge of higher education had decided to make all of us A level students take both our AS (first year) exams and A2 exams (second year exams) all together at the end of the second year; meaning I had to dig out revision resources that I forgot existed, and all whilst my brain was in melt down mode from the stress of it all.<br />
But after 7 written exams, one practical exam in February, and over 15 hours spent in exams, I finally walked out of that room I had spent 6 hours in on Friday the 23rd June, and prepared myself for an end-of-a-levels-celebration-trip-to-London with friends from college; which I just returned from Monday night (approximately at 9pm after 4 hours of travelling, sigh).<br />

So, without further ado, I will let you all know what I got up to in London within approximately 35hours, with loads of lovely pictures taken by myself to remember my experience and share it with you. Enjoy 😊<br />
<br />
<br />
On Sunday the 25th June, we decided to visit London to celebrate and be London tourists, agreeing we would all meet in Oxford at a Weather spoons -the best place to go for us students with little money- for breakfast, and then get the bus to London from Gloucester Green Bus Station around the corner. However, because I have been so preoccupied of late with exams and work, I forgot to prepare travel, and ended up driving on the motorway, for the first time-which I'm proud I survived from- to Oxford because the trains and buses were hardly running at all that day.<br />

And that is where the journey began, starting with a 7am wake-up for me, driving for approx. 45 mins to Oxford, getting breakfast with my friends, getting the London Victoria bus for 2 1/2 hours, buying an Oyster card(a very handy little thing to help you save on tube journeys) and getting multiple tube trains: all six of us finally walking out of the underground tired from our journey and getting to our hotel: a Premier Inn which has lush rooms at great prices in convenient locations in London .<br />

We then found our rooms, basked in our happiness as we realised how comfortable the beds were, and set off to buy lunch at the Tesco Express conveniently placed around the corner from the hotel, before sight seeing Big Ben, St. James' Park, Buckingham Palace, The Shard. We even saw a production crew and their caravans set up near Blenheim Palace for a Bollywood film-the security guard told us-which was amazing to see with their costumes out and makeup van open to see into at a distance. Lastly, we quickly went to Oxford Street and went into M&M world, probably the most colourful place I've ever been to, with the smell of M&M's all around you as you walk inside,<br />

After a day of picture taking and sight seeing, we all headed back to the hotel, to get ready for dinner at Pizza Express, a well deserved treat located just around the corner offering my favourite Archers lemonade beverage and margarita pizza 🍕 😍 🎆 This was followed by my what felt like eternity search for Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough Ice cream, a forever favourite of mine, and drinks in one of our rooms alongside a game of Cards Against Humanity: a highly outrageous game -a game recommended for those 17+-, that is bound to provoke multiple fights of laughter.<br />
<br />
<br />
After a great day on Sunday, we set off once again to sight see on Monday the 26th June, but after getting breakfast of course. We took the underground to visit China Town, an amazing area bursting with culture, and then Soho, a place full of things to do and places to eat, such as at the Gourmet Burger Kitchen where we ate lunch.<br />

We then headed off to visit Oxford Street, where we went shopping and I purchased black Harem trousers which are super comfy and light blue trainers in the sale in H&M; and two standing, open plastic picture frames from Muji; a cute little Japanese shop selling cool household and consumer items like stationery and picture frames.<br />
<br />
Finally, we set off to the hotel to collect our luggage, carrying our multiple shopping bags with us, and continued to the underground to <br />

get to the bus to take us back to Oxford.

In summary, I had an amazing time with my friends on my first ever visit to London, and I honestly don't think I stopped laughing once the whole time. From the hilarious moment I nearly fell over my suitcase on the escalator in the underground (trust me to have a suitcase whilst everyone had travel bags), and nearly fell onto a strangers lap when the tube train stopped suddenly😌, being swarmed by pigeons scurrying around our feet as we ate lunch in St James' Park, and to playing Cards Against Humanity until 1am Monday: I have enjoyed myself so much and will miss not seeing everyone each day at college as I drag myself into lessons.<br />
I can honestly say the excitement I felt as I looked forward to London was one of the only things that kept me going when revising and maintained my drive to finish A levels. It's memories like these that make you grateful for those in your life and the opportunities life gives us.<br />

With Spring here with it's warm sunshine, flowers blooming and birds singing, I have decided to share yet another favourite demin item for the ideal Spring Outfit: the Denim A-Line Zip Skirt. <br />
<br />
<br />
I purchased this skirt on sale for just £7.00 after searching some time for a denim skirt and came across this one.<br />
Denim is currently a large trend right now, especially for Spring, and its clear to see why why. It's been around for years so is easy to come across, it's comfortable, and extremely versatile to style; meaning this Denim A-line Zip Skirt is the perfect item for any wardrobe. <br />
<br />
<br />
I paired my Denim A-line Zip Skirt with my Chandelier Gold and Silver Necklace, Long Sleeved Split-Back Rustic Orange Top, black tights and Black Chelsea Boots for a laid back look. To stylise this outfit even more, I also pair my High-Heeled Black Chelsea Boots to give this look a chic vibe.<br />

To add, this Denim Zip A-Line Skirt can also be worn throughout the seasons, with tights in colder months, or paired with a short or non sleeved top and skin tights or no tights during the hot summer months; it's an extremely versatile item of clothing to have 😊<br />

Spring is my favourite time of year and it fills me with a sense of calm. The weather is always bearable for someone like me who dies once it hits 10 degrees or more, as it's not too cold with the sunshine keeping me warm, and not too hot, with the breeze blowing past you. To convey my love of Spring to you all even more, the one thing that really makes my day, is just walking outside either to work or college and hearing the Blackbirds and Finches singing away; Spring fills me with joy.</div>

Hey,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hope all is well,<br />
<br />
It has occurred to me over the past few days, that we are finally past miserable Winter and into Spring! And with the promise of sunnier days and beautiful budding flowers just over the horizon, I thought that today I would share with you all one of my favourite Spring outfits that I've been dying to wear and post about: my Demin Girlfriend Jean look that is perfect for warmer-than-winter Spring weather🌅 </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Jeans are something that are timeless, with their use spanning back many years and yet they still continue to be a key fashion item today. You name it, denim dresses, demin shirts, denim jackets and of course probably one of the most used clothing item ever: denim jeans; an item I always wear which can make you look casual, glam or chick. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, my current favourite denim jeans right now are the 'Girlfriend Jean'. This style of jean can also be found in 'Boyfriend Jean' style as well, and are a throwback to our previous 90's fashion, such as with our loose over sized jeans now know as 'Boyfriend' or 'Girlfriend' Jeans, and our high neck tank tops. I cannot get enough of my 'Girlfriend Jeans'. I just love their over sized look, with their turned up ankles that I am also obsessed with right now; and the ripped and patch work design placed on the front. And the best part is that due to their over-sized style, these jeans are extremely comfortable to wear, which is an important feature of any fashion item in my wardrobe. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Grey, Over-sized Bat-Wing Over Sized Cardigan paired with this outfit. </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I purchased these jeans in the sale for £11.99 reduced from £24.99 which I am happy I did, because they are a definite fashion best buy that's very affordable for a high street fashion item- especially in comparison to more pricey high street retailers.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Girlfriend Jean definitely achieves a laid-back, casual vibe, but is a versatile fashion item which can be paired with a variety of items to achieve multiple looks. I really mean it, these jeans are versatile. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
For a casual, daytime outfit, I pair the jeans with my black belt, my white Ribbed Sleeveless Turtle Neck top (an essential for all fashion I swear), grey Bat-Wing Over Sized Cardigan, and grey trainers to complete my look. This outfit is my favourite with the casual, chilled feel it radiates. I also wear my Black Daisy Print Halter top tucked into the jeans for even more of a laid back look.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To achieve a more grungy, chick look, I also pair these jeans with my black Cut-Out Shoulder Tank Top, my black belt, black Leather Jacket, and my black Chunky Chelsea Heeled Boots; a look that really did live in the 90's. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">White, Ribbed Sleeveless Turtle Neck Top also paired with this outfit.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's clear that I just love the 90's look right now; the 'Girlfriend Jean' and the Halter, High Neck/ Turtle Neck Sleeveless Tops. These jean are also great, because they suit all body shapes whilst providing a lot of comfort when worn. I can say that for a person with long legs, high hips and wide rib cage, that this style really does flatter and radiates a chilled vibe. <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The best part is these 'Girl Friend' jeans also look great around Autumn. So if you want to purchase this item, go on, do it, because I have had my eyes on these jeans for a while, and when I saw them on sale for such a great price, I couldn't help but snatch them up. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Today I have decided to share with you all affordable elegant jewellery that I love. I know that for special jewellery, it is usually expensive and high quality which is perfectly fine. However the jewellery I am talking about is my jewellery I wear every day and that goes with many styles of clothing; as my style of jewellery is simple yet elegant. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When searching for a nice necklace or bracelet for every day wear, finding affordable jewellery is the best way to go as it allows you to save on spending excessive amount and so allows you to purchase more jewellery. So without further ado, here are some of my pieces of jewellery that are both affordable, but just as elegant as any other jewellery.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<u>Gold Star Sign Sagittarius Necklace:</u><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
I got this star sign necklace of mine from Avon for £5.00 and I love it. Avon have some great pieces of jewellery and I adore their products. This is one of my favourite pieces of jewellery, because it has my Sagittarius star sign as the main piece and a pearl in the middle of the bow and arrow. It also has tiny diamonds around the bow and detailing along the edges. This necklace highlights a part of me because it is my star sign and that is why I love to wear it.<br />

I purchased this necklace from H&M in their sale for the great price of £1.00. Being a very small, simple piece of jewellery this price is definitely worth it. This necklace suits so many pieces of my clothing and has been used frequently; a elegant, perfect and affordable piece of jewellery indeed. </div>

This necklace is a it different to my usual golden jewellery with it's pink and white colours. I purchased this necklace for just £2.00 in a H&M sale and I like the different look it has to my usual jewellery. It would be the perfect piece for spring/summer with its pastel colours. </div>

<u>Diamond and Silver Chandelier Necklace:</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is another one of my most used necklaces, with its main feature of the necklace resembling a chandelier. It has silver chains and diamond chains in a pattern and I love the statement it gives off. I believe I purchased this necklace from H&M (yes, I'm obsessed with their jewellery because it's </div>
affordable and is just my style) for I think £2.00; an absolute bargain!<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u>Multi Charm Necklace:</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now this necklace is pretty cool. It was just £1.00 and came with 23 different charms which you can mix and match and swap whenever and however you like. I had to buy this necklace when I saw it, because it lets you create a huge variety of variations and styles with the multiple charms provided. The necklace can vary from silver hearts and stars with diamonds in them, to gold pieces with </div>
diamonds, and charms with pearls on them. Their shapes include a small key, other styles of hearts, stars, half moon, dog, crown, butterfly, bows, four leaf clover, three leaf clover, a variety of circular charms in different colours and styles, and pearls. <br />

Today I thought I would share two of my favourite nail polish and lipstick duos with all lovely people.<br />
<br />
Previously I purchased two Technic nail polishes for the very affordable price of 99p in the colours of 'Morello' and 'Seashell'. And when I got home, I realised that they go perfectly with two of my favourite lip sticks: Maybelline Long Lashing Lipsticks in 'Drop of Sherry' and Kate Moss' nudes collection in 'Rock 'n' Roll Nude'. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_5dYZW2i81j4HLFgcV6cIMrctq8vDvWxATTkGbfErCY7pzbHPKqAkTYFbpDvwJtR9w8hna-ZQ1B6Q6IItig0IY6xqntbM1T6YDmy0aD-4lFZ9HqvGXCkRkpatKal7xuxzuDgHBVW7-E8Z/s1600/20161223_114313-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_5dYZW2i81j4HLFgcV6cIMrctq8vDvWxATTkGbfErCY7pzbHPKqAkTYFbpDvwJtR9w8hna-ZQ1B6Q6IItig0IY6xqntbM1T6YDmy0aD-4lFZ9HqvGXCkRkpatKal7xuxzuDgHBVW7-E8Z/s320/20161223_114313-1.jpg" width="272" /></a><br />
<br />
These duos are perfect for any special occasion out, be it a day out or for a party. The best thing is that the lipstick has strong pigments that match the strong pigments of the nail polishes. The Technic polishes are great, because for an affordable nail polish, they're consistency is very good and they last for a long time without chipping and coming off; even for someone like myself who is always busy at work picking up products and serving customers and writing non stop at college.<br />
The lipsticks are an absolute favourite of mine. I adore their pigments and they have a lovely cream-like consistency to them, meaning they can be applied evenly and leave your lips looking smooth and you looking gorgeous.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXh2A68yij8n0szlryS40N1MEjxrH0F4XL2uJFfXMLEEW29IRS1BOh7z1vItS44bVb2Q7iiPzzKvwWkHiu0MAeJ6cy4M4tv0aDpEEFloiGlQmk5M0bNtpwn5lGMCrE-Sl_klNrvbBhnSD-/s1600/best+one111.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXh2A68yij8n0szlryS40N1MEjxrH0F4XL2uJFfXMLEEW29IRS1BOh7z1vItS44bVb2Q7iiPzzKvwWkHiu0MAeJ6cy4M4tv0aDpEEFloiGlQmk5M0bNtpwn5lGMCrE-Sl_klNrvbBhnSD-/s320/best+one111.jpg" width="238" /></a>One duo that I love is the grouping of Maybelline Long Lasting Lipstick in 'Drop of Sherry' and Technic Nail Polish in 'Morello'. These two beauty products seem to compliment each other completely, and I call this duo 'Very Berry'. Their pigments are a dark red berry colour, one of my most favourite colours recently that I cannot get enough of. This duo is perfect for a special occasion, or even just every day, as they add a pop of colour to your look that's neither too bright or too pale but is perfect to give a little extra to your look. This duo is my most used beauty duo at the moment.<br />
<br />
<br />
My second duo that are ideal for any occasion, especially later in the year with spring and summer, is the combination of Maybelline Long Lasting Lipstick in 'Rock 'n' Roll Nude' and Technic Nail Polish in 'Seashell'. The metallic pigments in the nail polish compliments the nude pink undertones and pigments in the lipstick, giving off a shimmery, pinkish look; perfect to convey a elegant feel to your look. This duo is also used often by me when, especially during every day because the paler colours are more subtle but still intense in their pink pigments. I have named this duo 'Pearl Pink' for their lovely pink tones that convey a subtle feeling of elegance.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There you go, my nail polish and lipstick two beauty duos that are perfect for any occasion.<br />

I thought I would share two nail polish colours that I think are great for any night out or occasion when dressing to impress is key; and what better way than with very affordable nail polishes.<br />
<br />
I purchased these Technic nail polishes from Body Care a few weeks ago for the affordable price of 99p, in a selection of colours that I just love; a metallic polish in the colour of 'Seashell', and a dark, satin-effect nail polish in 'Morello'.<br />
These nail polishes are not only affordable for 99p each, but are also a rich colour and great consistency when applied, meaning they would look great for any occasion, such as a party or a night out, and makes it easy to apply without the fuss to need to apply non-stop layers and layers; making them a must-purchase item.<br />

When it comes to nail polish, I am not one to be fussy about the brand. To me personally, if a brand serves me well and is a good match for me, then I will continue to appreciate it's ability, especially if a brand is cheaper and more effective than another brand;because there's nothing more worse than spending lots of money on expensive makeup and beauty brands, only to discover they don't actually do anything or are of a terrible quality. But these nail polishes however are the exception. </div>

</tbody></table>
The nail polishes are affordable- great for a student like me who only works part-time in retail for long hours- the consistency is great, meaning you only need to apply one layer to achieve a great coverage and colour, instead of using two or three coats of polish which takes forever to dry. The nail polishes also come in a large variety of colours, meaning you can afford to pick as many a you like. I mean just imagine spending £6.00 on just one polish that holds 12ml, when you can have six 12ml nail polishes for £5.94; definitely a better deal for a beauty product that you want to keep.<br />
<br />
<br />
Overall these polishes are a definitely a very affordable party nail polish, that's perfect for any occasion. I adore their colours and their purple tones. These polishes are also pretty versatile for a nail polish, especially for someone like me who is always busy at work where the polish could be scratched off; a very ideal characteristic wanted in any nail polish. <br />

With everyone and everything sheltering from Winter to escape it's cold breeze, there's nothing I enjoy more than dressing up cozy and comfortable to tackle the chilling weather ahead. And on this note, I can honestly say one of these items I am addicted to are gorgeous, comfortable scarves which I frequently incorporate into my everyday Winter wardrobe. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I purchased this Black and White Panel Scarf from Next in Swansea for a reduced price of £8.00 in their sale, whilst on holiday in South Wales. I am a lover of sales, so when I saw this scarf, I snatched it up and took it to the tills; which I'm glad I did because I just cannot get enough of it. </div>

I adore this Black and White Panel Scarf because of the casual chick edgy vibe it generates with the contrast of colours between black and white. Paired with a Burgundy Jumper, Black Skinny Jeans and Boots, I feel this scarf creates a statement look to any outfit, whilst being extremely warm and comfortable to wear; a must have characteristic for an item in my everyday Winter wardrobe. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
The Black and White Panel Scarf is ideal for the winter months, due to it's gorgeous pattern and chick edgy vibe, but also its long length, and wide width. Its width means it covers my body from the cold, and it's length lets me swing it around my neck to achieve the casual edgy vibe the scarf creates. </div>

To add, because the scarf isn't chunky and bulky like my other scarves, this means I can easily wear it around my neck and under my coat without worrying if I'll still be able to zip the coat up and stay warm when wearing it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The scarf is also extremely soft, meaning it's comfortable to wear throughout the day, unlike more chunkier scarves, which can become scratchy after being worn for a certain amount of time and feel uncomfortable to wear; a definite no for any item for the Winter season where comfort and warmth is a key aim. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My Black and White Panel Scarf is my most frequently worn scarf so far this winter. It's practical, yet stylish, keeping me warm and comfortable whist conveying an chick edgy vibe as a Winter statement item. Incorporated into my Winter wardrobe look, I can say this scarf was a great affordable buy, does not fail to please, and looks chick and edgy no matter how often you wear it. </div>

Speaking of Christmas and New Year, this gave me the ideal to post a simple but elegant makeup look of mine that I believe ideal for any Christmas or New Years party or occasion; the Frosted Snow Smokey Eye.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now I love the smokey eye look, and it is true that I wear it everyday, but I also wear it for special occasions as well. For these occasions, I amplifying the smokey eye a bit either by adding a little more shadow to the crease of the eye, or replacing lighter shadows with darker ones, making the shadow contour the eye even more; especially when out and in darker restaurants or bars. </div>

So without further ado, I'll give you my quick and easy step-by-step guide to achieving my Frosted Snow Smokey Eye look. These images were just taken in my room after completing the look so I'm afraid no nice fancy background for this post. <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1) Firstly, like always, I wash my face in the morning to remove any oil or dirt to avoid blocked pores caused by wearing makeup on blocked skin. After every face wash, I then moisturise with my 'Simple Kind To Skin Light Moisturiser' which is the only moisturiser that soaks into my skin and doesn't leave an oily, greasy residue on my skin's surface, which in turn blocks pores and causes blemishes. I apply this moisturiser twice and massage it into my face gently in circular motions until it's absorbed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">'Golden Bronze Baked Eye Shadow'<br />

</tbody></table>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2) I then start with my everyday makeup: foundation, concealer, press powder. After I take my trusty 'Body Collection Eye Shadow Palette', and select 'Silver Nude', which will be the base for this look and gently apply it, dabbing it onto the eyelid to reduce buildup and to create an even application. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3) After building the colour by applying the eye shadow, I move to my 'Golden Bronze Baked Eye Shadow' in 'Golden Bronze', and start to apply it to the crease of my eye, starting from the end of the lash line across to the corner of my eye. For the crease of the eye, I apply the shadow in a back and forth motion to blend the shadow. Each time I gently add intensity to the crease to develop the smokey eye look. To avoid excess shadow falling underneath my eye, I very gently tap the eye shadow brush on the edge of the eye shadow palette to remove excess shadow. </div>

</tbody></table>
When I apply eye shadow to the crease, I do it in a ' V' shape due to my eyelids tapering down, which leaves my eye lashes tapering down and flicking out a bit like a cat eye. In theory on my left eye the 'v' shape will be like this: <b><</b> and on my right like this: <b>></b> but obviously in a more curved shape, as eyelids curve and the eye socket is also curved slightly.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4) After blending the shadow into the base eye shadow, I then take my powder brush (with no powder on it) and gently flick the brush from under my eye outward to remove excess shadow. Finally I apply my mascara. Because the eye shadow will have fallen onto my eyelashes, I firstly apply the shadow on the top of my lashes starting from the outside to the inner lashes. Straight away I then apply another coat to the lashes underneath where you would normally apply mascara. Again I start from outside of the lashes inwards, going over the outer lashes once more to develop curl. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
5) Last of all, I apply moisturiser to my lips to create a moisturise<br />

d, smooth base to put lipstick onto, and apply my lipstick. You can choose which colour you want.<br />
<br />
For instance, with this eye shadow look, it's best to pick a subtle pinkish tone like my Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss in 'Rock 'n' Roll Nude'. This is because a light tone compliments the look, but does not distract the eye from the eye shadow look. However, if you were to use a darker lipstick, like my Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in 'Drop of Sherry' in a dark burberry, reddish tone, this would draw the eye away from the smokey eye look, and distract from the main makeup feature that was intended to build definition to the face. Once applying lipstick, the look is complete.<br />

I love eye shadow, especially baked eye shadow, and I love the smokey eye look. My every day look always involves a smokey eye. Ever since discovering makeup when I was around 13/14, I have forever loved the look of a smokey eye. I just love how pretty the colours look, blending into other complimentary colours, and that you can wear it for any occasion and it just looks great. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So I have decided to share my new favourite eye shadow palette that I recently purchased, my Technic Bronzing Eyeshadows Baked Eyeshadow palette in what I call 'Frosted Rose', and my Frosted Rose Smokey Eye look I created using this palette.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Now before I start, I just want to tell you all about this palette, because its my new love. Some of you may be thinking 'Technic? That's not a big brand is it?' and that's a common thought with makeup brands that aren't as popular as the makeup giants like Rimmel or Max-Factor, Mac or Maybelline.<br />

I purchased this palette for £2,99 and I love it; it has all the pigmentation I have been searching for and is so cost effective. Not only is it gorgeous with it's pinkish hue, but a great price. To add, Technic are also against animal testing unlike other brands such as Maybelline and Rimmel, which may come as an unexpected shock to some, due to the ideology that 'cheap', cost-effective makeup is of low quality and therefore of bad morals, but in this case that belief is banished. This puts this palette in my good books, because this palette even more worth it's cost, as the majority of non-animal testing brands can be fairly expensive to purchase and don't last very long when I use them as frequently as I do.<br />
<br />
So let me tell you about the Frosted Rose Smokey Eye look I created one day using my new 'Technic Bronzing Eyeshadows Baked Eyeshadow' palette.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1)</b> To start with, I firstly applied my every day makeup: foundation, concealer and press powder. I then took my trusty eye shadow brush and applied the base shadow to my eyelid, the lightest colour in 'Frosted Snow', dabbing it lightly on to my eyelid, building up the intensity of the pigment due to it's very light pale white-pinkish hue.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">In order of left to right: Top: 'Truffle', 'Frost', 'Rusted Gold'<br />
Bottom left to right: 'Ice', 'Berry', 'Copper Bronze'.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<b>2)</b> I then placed a darker shade of shadow in 'Rusted Gold' onto the tip of the brush, and started to blend it into the crease of my eyelid to create the smokey look and highlight my eyes. I worked along starting at the lash line, and then along the crease on top of my eyelid, and repeat. I continue to add and blend small amounts, slowly building up the intensity of the eye shadow and creating the slightly pinkish tone of the eyeshadows. After adding enough shadow, I then used the brush without any eye shadow on it, to blend the shadow into the base shadow to stop a harsh clash of unblended eye shadow. I will admit that for some like myself when first starting smokey eye looks, it takes practice to learn blending and what way to blend the shadow into the crease of the eye depending on your eye shape. When blending the shadow, I do mine in an almost 'V' on it's side like this: ' <b><</b> ' shape, with the point being the outer corner of my eyelid, instead of a 'C' shape, as my eyelids are too big for the 'C' shape route to take as you blend.<br />
<br />
<b>3)</b> Lastly, to achieve the shadowed effect the smokey eye creates and add depth to the eye, I applied 'Truffle' a tiny bit onto the brush and gently dabbed it above the lash line and then along the outer corner's crease of my eye; the areas of the eyelid that my 'V' shaped route to blend the shadow would take. I always prefer to apply the darkest colour such as 'Truffle' lightly at first, as if it's too dark it can be difficult to blend without looking like a panda. Finally to finish off, I very very lightly moved the brush back and forth in the 'V' route to lightly blend the darkest shadow, with strokes literally of about 2mm or approximately 1cm. As always, I get my un powdered powder brush and gently flicked the brush outward along my skin under my eyes, to rid of excess powder that falls onto the eye lashes and under eyes when it's applied.

A trick I use when applying eye shadow, is to gently tap the eye shadow brush on the edge of the palette case to remove excess, loose shadow that will fall under my eyes when being applied.<br />
<br />
<b>4)</b> To complete the look, I apply my mascara. Working my way from outer lashes and underneath the lashes, I firstly apply it gently to the top of the lashes, and then the bottom, to fully coat the eyelashes by hiding any loose eye shadow residue which will be settled on my eye lashes, and to help them keep their shape. I do this as my eyelashes are quite long and taper downwards in a curve leaving lashes that flick outwards like a cat eye liner would.<br />
<br />
To add, another useful tip I have for eye shadow application when you've applied shadow for the smokey eye look, is how to deal with bits of mascara ending up on your eyelids which are covered in layers of perfected eye shadow. What I do is get my eye shadow brush and make it clean of any residue by rubbing it on my hand so that the residue won't transfer, and then lightly move the brush back and forth on the eye lid in small strokes to gently blend and remove the black mascara, yet without removing any of the shadow or disturbing the balance of pigmentation of eye shadow. <br />

I hope my quick tutorial was interesting, helpful, and maybe even inspiring to read for new makeup looks, and I hope you enjoyed the post. This smokey-eye eye shadow look was just created one morning when I was getting ready for college and decided to use my new 'Techic Bronzing Eyeshadows Baked Eyeshadow' palette, and I really liked the results I achieved just by experimenting with makeup.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
For this post, I thought I would share with all of you my one makeup product that I just can't not get enough of right now: baked eye shadow and the smokey eye look. When it comes to my favourite make up, I don't just mean big brands, oh no, I mean all the brands I have.<br />
So for my baked eye shadow, this collection consists of many different brands that I discovered and now adore. If I love a make up product, I don't mind what brand it is, be it cheap or averagely priced, I'm willing to try it out and adopt it as my own; because I love to save money via the best deals and money saving includes trying new brands at more affordable prices.<br />

To me, baked eye shadow is amazing. I love the look you can achieve with it and the consistency this eye shadow has with its satin-like effect when it catches in the light. Because it's baked, I find it tends to last longer, yet still looks fabulous on your eyes, meaning you can save on topping up your stash. Another great thing I find about baked eye shadow, is that due to this eye shadow being baked, it has more shimmer to it, making the coverage fuller on your eyelids. This in turn allows you to develop your look from pretty to glam, just by adding more baked shadow with the best results via dabbing and pressing the shadow gently onto the lids for a chick look. So let me introduce my most used baked shadows and their looks. I have incorporated images to show their consistency, some taken in the day with natural lighting to highlight the intensity of the pigment and satin-like shimmer, and images taken in artificial lighting to represent their satin effect and pigment in darker environments at night. </div>

Baked eye shadow is my ultimate make up crush right now. When I'm getting ready for a night out, such as to a restaurant or occasion, I always turn to is my smokey eye silver look (yes I created the name myself because I think a commonly used look has to have an official name).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
For the day, my first look I turn to is my most faithful 'Dark Bronze Baked Eye Shadow' set which I adore. This shadow is versatile (like other baked eye shadows) and can be paired with any normal pressed eye shadow, such as when I use my 'Golden Bronze Baked Eye Shadow' with my 'Silver Nude Pressed Shadow' from a long lasting palette of mine. This duo go hand-in-hand to achieve a subtly smokey look for the day, using 'Silver Nude' for the base and 'Golden Bronze' for the crease of the eye. </div>

</tbody></table>
<br />
At the night to achieve my second favourite look with these baked shadows, I use the dark smokey look, by adding 'Chocolate' to the look on my outer corner of the eyelid to create depth and make my eyes pop; highlighting my eyes with the 'Silver Nude' whilst giving off a dark smokey look with 'Golden Bronze' and 'Chocolate'. In my post, <a href="http://carisblogx.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/halloween-look-broken-porcelain-doll.html" target="_blank">🎃 🎀 Halloween Look | Broken Porcelain Doll 🎀 🎃</a> I used these shadows to create my look and illuminate my eyes, which you can see by clicking the link. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My third favourite look, is a simple coat of my 'Golden Bronze Baked Eye Shadow'. I start on the outside of my eye lid and work my way in, building on the intensity of the shadow, adding more pigment to the crease of the eye and blending the shadow. My favourite part about this look is the way the shimmer in the eye shadow catches the light, highlighting your eyes and giving a soft glow along side the warm pigmentation which compliments my skin tone. An even better fact is that this eye shadow look takes minutes to perfect and just adds a little extra to your make up look. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally, the last baked eye shadow that I will rant about, is my newly discovered 'Bronzing Eyeshadows Baked Eye Shadow' Palette from Technic. This palette was around £2.99 I believe and I came across it when Christmas shopping one day. Being the baked eye shadow addict that I am, especially a bronze coloured eye shadow lover, I snatched it up. I had been looking for a pinkish bronze baked shadow for a long time, so when I came across this palette I couldn't believe my luck. There were so many palettes to choose from, all with lush colours, but in the end I turned to this 'Bronzing Eyeshadows Baked Eye Shadow' palette in what I like to call 'Frosted Rose' because of the shimmer and pinkish undertones which I adore </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

The palette consists of six shadows, all as individually gorgeous as one other, and all with a pinkish pigmented undertone to them. A great part is that not only was this brand cost effective, costing just £2.99 for baked bronze eye shadows, but it's against animal testing, unlike top brands such as 'Rimmel' and 'Maybelline'. This may come as an unexpected fact for some, as many people believe 'cheap' or cost- effective make up is of low quality and therefore bad morals; but in this case that stigma is wrong.<br />

I am ultimately in love with this 'Bronzing Eye Shadows Baked Eye Shadow' palette, even the way it looks is amazing, with the rose-silver pigmentation and effect it presents. When I got this palette home I loved it so much, I even said to myself "Ohh this palette is so bea" when testing a few shadows on my hand 😄 I am so excited to try this new palette, and see what new smokey eye looks I can concoct, and which of these are best suited to specific occasions. It's decided: this palette is a keeper. </div>

So there are a few of my looks along side the baked shadows I use to create my most used looks; including the introduction to my newest ultimate makeup crush, the 'Bronzing Baked Eye Shadow' palette. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
A thing I cannot get over about baked eye shadow, is that it has such an intense shimmer and allows you to create more depth than pressed shadows allow you to. This makes your look appear even more glamorous then it would be if using pressed eye shadow alone, and more chick than usual; a perfect way to make your look unique. </div>

With the clocks set back and the day light fading, Winter has set in. And with this change of weather, there's nothing I like more than a new, warm item to add to my Winter wardrobe collection.</div>

This Chenille Roll Neck Jumper is my newest addition to my Winter wardrobe, and being a massive jumper addict- especially for the thick, roll neck types- I am in love with this new jumper already.<br />
Costing me just £16, it's affordable and a great fashion statement item that will keep you warm in the cold Winter months.<br />

The Chenille Roll Neck Jumper achieves a casual, effortless look for the Winter season. Paired with Black Skinny jeans and Black Chelsea Boots, I feel this outfit is elegantly congruous for any Winter occasion. <br />
<br />
This jumper is a definite favourite of mine. It's affordable, simple and elegant. It is extremely warm with a soft texture to it, making it very comfortable to wear; something I believe is highly important for any item included in my Winter wardrobe this year.<br />

I thought that with Autumn nearly gone for the year, I would catalogue just a few images taken on my phone the past few days to share with you all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjakiLhsH2p6fmcJ7BRagqs1D6Ws1B9Ytmb88W39zTOtFCHC57mDhmZWPGMqrExk3oXSvQZMt48HY4KwxK2YqEw8n8gI4ZkJkmA7j-oMWtC5uh0ib-ksQYUXNXtEKjt0pPW1HTuIxSN2_Cd/s1600/less+leaves.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjakiLhsH2p6fmcJ7BRagqs1D6Ws1B9Ytmb88W39zTOtFCHC57mDhmZWPGMqrExk3oXSvQZMt48HY4KwxK2YqEw8n8gI4ZkJkmA7j-oMWtC5uh0ib-ksQYUXNXtEKjt0pPW1HTuIxSN2_Cd/s320/less+leaves.jpg" width="265" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I love Autumn with it's gorgeous contrast of colours and can never resist to take a few pictures when ever possible. I love the way the trees look and the way the birds sing when it starts to get darker, the cosy nights snuggled up warm at home watching your favourite films, and the way the leaves float to the ground, spiralling and spinning like a dancer. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Autumn also reminds me of new begins before the new year starts in January, with the trees letting their leaves go as if they're memories from this year being placed out of the present and into the past; a catalogue of memories. This may attach to me as one of my favourite seasons, because of this, I am an Autumn baby, but also find beauty in nature and the trees letting their leaves free. It's just magical. It has also been a changed year for me, with things happening that have transition me out of the same routines and into a less predicted world with new beginnings in itself.</div>

Hey,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
During the Halloween period, I can't help but take part in the fun and get creative with Halloween looks. Every year I enjoy the fact that no matter how unusual you look, it's acceptable because it's Halloween and everyone looks extremely different to their normal, human selves. And so I thought I'd share my Halloween look with you. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This year, I dressed up at work to raise money for the children's charity the NSPCC, which my employer frequently supports all year round, and with the chance to show my creativity, I couldn't help but take part and become a broken Porcelain doll. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I just love the idea of a broken Porcelain doll and all its hidden meanings for Halloween. Think of the symbolic representation that's associated with dolls: the notion that they resemble childhood and joy, yet when broken, a doll can convey sense of a loss of freedom and hope a child may feel when their toy is broken. This is the basis for all films with creepy, haunted dolls; they symbolise a loss of childhood, broken dreams and lost joy. An example, Annabelle the possessed doll.... </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

So with my love for horror films, and my interest in the hidden meanings and symbolic representations, I decided to get creative and become a broken Porcelain Doll for Halloween. The idea sprang to me when I was thinking of a Halloween look, and my idea for the broken Porcelain doll popped into my head. My design is my original idea and was created using just my ordinary things: make-up and my every day clothes. I personally prefer not to use expensive make-up for Halloween looks, as you cannot tell the difference and at Halloween the aim is to look as creepy as possible, even if your lipstick is cheap as you'll only be wearing it for a short period. Plus drawing on myself is a bit of a waste of make-up, so I tend leave big brands out of the picture, except for my everyday makeup which consists of brands such as Maybelline, Rimmel and Soap & Glory because I have no other make-up brands to use.<br />

The images are from two occasions, my first practice so I could have time to take the images for you lovely people, and the others are from after I got back from work; as I had to set off at 9 for work so wouldn't of had enough time to take images of my look.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Firstly, for the look, I wore my White Long Sleeved Turtle Neck- my essential top for everything - my Black Dungaree Pinafore Dress and white shoes. I paired myself with an old teddy, that is conveniently broken at the back, to mimic the toys that dolls would come with, and give off a creepier vibe. </div>

For my makeup, I put on my every day look: foundation, concealer, press powder and mascara. I then used a lot of pink blush for my cheeks to mimic the rosy cheeks dolls have, and smokey eye look to make my eyes pop using my frosted Silver Nude eye shadow, and Golden Bronze and Chocolate baked eye shadow. I followed this with my Avon Matte Lipstick in 'Peach Flatters' (which I have previously blogged about alongside other lipsticks: <a href="http://carisblogx.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/favourite-lipstick-picks-lipsticks-i.html" target="_blank">Favourite Lipstick Picks | Lipsticks I Couldn't Live Without</a>) to achieve the heavy and bright lipstick dolls would have.</div>

I tied my hair into two messy pig tails, then left my fringe out at the front, to present the often childlike hairstyles that dolls would have. This look can also be with your hair down which I wore for work when I decided to leave my hair down for the day after it fell out. </div>

To achieve the cracks on my hand and face, I used my Soap & Glory felt tip eyeliner pen and drew the cracks lightly onto my skin, filling in some parts to make it seem as though I was missing pieces. Soap & Glory is the only brand I own for eye liner, as I find it to be amazing because it doesn't smudge, lasts all day, and the felt tip is perfect for precision of make up. The trick with drawing the cracks is to make them as thin as possible and imagine your drawing what cracks on a delicate window would look like. I drew cracks on my right side of my face reaching from my jaw line to my temple, and a smaller one on my left side of my face by my jawline and cheek bone. I then dusted press powder lightly over the cracks on my face to help set the eye liner, and to gain depth of the cracks on my hand, I used ordinary eye shadows in jet black, grey and then white to go over the harsh black lines to give a blended effect, and complete my look. 🎃 🎀<br />
