5 Under £5


Here are 5 makeup products that I love that are under £5!

Collection Eyes Uncovered Nude Palette £3.99
I can't recommend this palette enough! The eyeshadows are so creamy and pigmented. There are so many looks that can be made with these 6 nude eyeshadows!

Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me £2.99
I love all of the Baby Lips but I think this is my favourite! It gives the perfect red tint to my lips and moisturises them.

Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Pencil in East End Snob £3.99
This lip pencil is so creamy and easy to apply. I wear it all over my lips alone, creating a lovely pinky nude look. It lasts for a long time and doesn't dry out my lips.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer £4.99
I love this concealer so much! It's so creamy and high coverage yet it feels so light. I use it under my eyes to conceal and brighten.

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder £3.99
This is my favourite powder for keeping my foundation matte and making my makeup last all day. I love this!

Which makeup products do you recommend that are under £5?

How To Spend A Sunday


TIDY UP - I don't know about you but my room gets really messy through out the week. I like to spend Sunday afternoon having a quick tidy up in my bedroom. That way you feel ready for the week ahead.

CATCH UP - During the week I don't get to watch all of the YouTube videos that appear in my Subscriptions box. I usually spend Sunday morning or afternoon (or both usually) having a little catch up.

DON'T STRESS - Try not to think about the fact that it's Monday tomorrow until at least after dinner. If you spend the whole of Sunday dreading work or school the next day, you're not going to enjoy your weekend.

PREPARE - I open up my planner on next week and fill in everything that I have planned and need to get done, so that I know what's going on.

REFLECT - I also open up my planner on the week that's gone on, filling in anything I did that isn't already written down. And also to check that I got everything done that I need to.

PAMPER - I like to have a nice long shower on Sunday evenings and then change in to a pair of fresh pyjamas. I'll wash my hair as well ready for the next day. I do this everyday before work but I like to spend a little more time on a Sunday and use any special extra luxurious products that I have.

20 Things I've Learnt Turning 20


#1 People grow at different rates and go through different stages of their life at different times. Just because one person is doing something now, doesn't mean you need to be too.

#2 Friendships change and people drift apart. But true friendships will last. 

#3 Say yes to opportunities. You may not get the same chance again. More good will most likely come from it than bad.

#4 Don't be so afraid to take risks. 

#5 Worry less about things that can't be changed. It's a waste of energy.

#6 Boys are confusing. Fact.

#7 Family can be annoying but they're the only one you've got so appreciate them. 

#8 It's hard to stay in touch with people when you leave school. But if you both try hard, friendships will last.

#9 You don't need to do/wear something, just because everyone else is.

#10 Don't be afraid to be yourself.

#11 Do what you love. 

#12 Don't waste time worrying about what people think of you.

#13 Wear whatever you want. As long as you're happy and comfortable.

#14 Having 'me' time is ok. Spend time by yourself to relax and gather your thoughts.

#15 Don't be scared to say no to things you don't want to do.

#16 Speak up if you have a problem or an issue with something.

#17 Try to enjoy everyday, rather than constantly wishing it was the weekend or next week.

#18 If you've wanted to buy something for over a month. Buy it. 

#19 As fun as being on the internet is, taking some time off of it is good. Read a book, do some colouring, do something creative that doesn't involve looking at a screen.

#20 Be happy.

2015 Beauty Favourites



These products are my beauty favourites from the past year. I've tried out quite a few different makeup products these year, and these are the ones that I've loved the most. 

EYES
1. Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara £7.99
This is my all time favourite mascara. I tried this at the beginning of 2015 and its all I used throughout the year. I've been through about 4 tubes of the stuff. 
2. Collection Eyes Uncovered Nude Palette £3.99
This eyeshadow is a must-have. It's perfect for creating a quick nude eye look. They're so creamy and easy to blend.
3. MUA Undress Me Too Palette £4
I love all of the shades in this palette. You can create so many different looks with this. I would definitely recommend this!

FACE
1. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer £4.99
This concealer is so good! It's so creamy and moisturising; I love using it under my eyes. It's high coverage, yet it feels so light.
2. Sleek Contour and Blush Palette £9.99
I definitely recommend this! It has the nicest contour shade which is so easy to use! It blends nicely on the skin, creating the perfect not-too-harsh contour. The highlight shade is beautiful and I love using it on the tops of my cheekbones. Although not the biggest blush fan, I think that this blush is gorgeous. A lovely corally pink shade with gold glitter running through it.
3. L'oreal Brow Artist Plumper £5.99
I tried this about half way through the year, and I've used nothing else for my brows ever since. It makes me brows appear fuller and keeps them I'm place all day. It's so quick and easy to use too!

LIPS

1. Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in East End Snob £3.99
I love this lip product so much. I use it all over the lips to create a matte pink look which lasts for hours. It doesn't dry out my lips and it makes them look fuller.
2. Baby Lips Cherry Me £2.99
This moisturising lip product is so good for adding a quick hint of colour to my lips. Love it!
