Night Out Makeup, Hair + Outfit.

Hey lovelies!

You should read part one of this little blog post here if you haven't. If you have, I'll get right to it!

I always pick my outfit realistically like a week in advance, so I'll make sure it's washed, ironed etc and laid out over the chair that sits at my vanity table.

Next is on to my makeup:

For this I used:

Anastasia Dipbrow in Dark Brown
Illamasqua Browcake in Gaze
Makeup Revolution Ultra Cover & Conceal palette - light
Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder - translucent
Makeup Geek eyshadows in Corrupt to define the crease & Cocoa Bear to blend
Glittertubes glitter in Honeysuckle
Illamasqua Gel liner in Infinity
Soap & Glory Thick and Fast Mascara
Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in Ivory
Collection Illuminating Touch in Ivory
Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in Fair
Makeup Revolution Ultra Cream Contour palette in Light
Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit in light-medium
MAC MSF in Soft & Gentle
Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lips in Scorpio + Androgyny (I mixed them on the back of my hand first)

The makeup and outfit all together: 

I pretty much just straightened my hair and put my fringe up and away from my face. My whole outfit is from Boohoo.com, the top and shoes you won't be able to get anymore, the bra and skirt you will.

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed, might do a post like this every couple of months because I enjoyed doing it, too! See you in my next post :)

Getting Ready For a Night Out Routine.

Hey lovelies!

I thought for todays post I'd write about my routine I have (and have had ever since I was about 16) for a night out and all my prep.

The night before my night out I'll make sure whatever I want to wear is clean, dry, ironed etc and lay it out so I know it's definitely there. Generally I've planned my outfit like a week in advance, haha! I like to have beers and a can (or two) of monster in too so that I know I've got something to drink whilst I get ready.

The morning of my night out I'll be up relatively early, have a playlist of some sort for getting ready sorted and my makeup brushes all washed. Whenever I go out it's normally to Cathouse in Glasgow, haha, and I don't really end up leaving till about half 9/10 so I pretty much have all day to do whatever.

I'll always go for a bath as early as I can so I can let my hair air-dry after washing it. I use these products religiously in my bath:

Once my baths over with I'll make sure I've eaten something pretty heavy - like pasta or pizza to make sure my stomachs full. I'll keep my skin on my face moisturised right up until I'm ready to put my makeup on - I have very dry, dehydrated skin so this helps to make my makeup go on perfectly. This one is my favourite for doing it (and free since it's a prescription moisturiser, even better ha!)

I'll also moisturise my body using the first one or my Soap & Glory Righteous Butter.

Next I'll move on to my makeup after a world of lazing around then it's onto styling my hair and finally the outfit and predrinks!

I hope you enjoyed this post! Next one will be my hair/makeup/outfit for a standard night out!

Thanks for reading,

The Power Of Makeup.

Hey lovelies!

If you haven't heard of this sort of 'trend' I guess you could call it then you must have been under a rock! I first came across it by Nikkie Tutorials who did a video and bloody loved the concept behind it (I actually think it was her that came up with the whole thing as well, but don't quote me on that) and I thought I'd do my own post on it. If you haven't seen Nikkie's The Power of Makeup video I'll link it here. Another one that's definitely worth checking out is Patrick Starrr's which I'll link here. Watch them, honestly, they are worth a watch!

Okay, so for anyone who doesn't know - I have sparse brows, they don't grow even if I leave them to do so for years, I have red and blotchy skin, it's incredibly dry, my lips are uneven and my skin is also recovering from acne, my eyes are small without makeup on them and my skin in general ain't great. Are these insecurities of mine? Somewhat. Are they the reason I wear makeup? No! 

Makeup is fun for me and I absolutely love it, I'd rather wear makeup and express my creativity than not. It's just something that's a part of me, I don't wear it to impress anyone and I certainly don't use it to 'lie' about what I really look like under it all, haha. I am SO fed up with all this "this is why you take a girl swimming on the first date" shit, just because you, men, are insecure about yourself. Obviously we don't look like what we do with makeup on but who the fuck cares?! 

I thought I'd also add in a couple of pics of the completed makeup.

Thank you for reading! 

Remember to just be yourself and express yourself however the fuck you want to! Don't let anyone dull your sparkle,

Would You Rather? - TAG

Hello lovelies!

I'm back with a Would You Rather? Beauty Edition Tag today :) 

You should let me know in the comments what the most difficult question would be for you to answer!

I just thought this would be a quick and easy post for me to do today so here goes!

QUESTIONS:
1.) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?

I'm a massive lipstick girl - liner and lipstick is all a girl really needs to rock a look so I'd say I'd rather lose all of my eyeshadows/palettes.

2.) Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

Honestly this doesn't really bother me, I loved having long hair and when I had to cut it because I'd ruined it I wasn't too bothered - it's just hair, it grows! :) So chop it all off.

3.) Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?

Eugh, I hate blush, haha, so I'd rather neither but for this I'll pick coral.

4.) If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?

Makeup. 100%.

5.) Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?

I've done both and like both - and now you can get eyeliners that are lipstick colours and lipstick that is eyeliner colours! Anyway if it's talking like satin-finish lipsticks I'd probably rather apply eyeliner as lipstick.

6.) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?

I have never shopped at Sephora - sad face! :( We don't have it here in the UK, so MAC, easy peasy.

7.) Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life?

One lip colour. Red all the way, baby.

8.) Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?

I'm a chunky monkey so I already wear winter clothes in summer so I'd rather that.

9.) Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?

Dark nails, not fond of bright nails.

10.) Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?

Favourite lip product fo sure.

11.) Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?

Messy bun obviously.

12.) Would your rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?

Can I choose both for this one, haha? I hate lipgloss and find painting my nails really tedious... But I'll go for never use lipgloss. 

13.) Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?

I pretty much have no eyebrows so I'd rather shave them and then I can do them however I want! Haha

14.) Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?

Without nail polish, without a doubt!

Well, that was fun! I quite enjoyed doing this little tag, I hope you enjoyed reading it. Remember and let me know in the comments what your hardest question to answer would be!

Thank you for reading.
