Taco Tuesday: Senior Year

Hello World! 

Sending a shoutout to all the senior students out there. This post came up in my facebook newsfeed the other day and I though I would send this good thoughts this week. 

I wanted to encourage everyone to enjoy their senior year weather it's high school, primary school or uni or anything, enjoy it because before we know it life is knocking on the front door telling us the future is due. 

So whatever you want to do with today, go and do it because soon enough responsibilities are going to take over and there won't be any time to do what you've always wanted. So next chance you get, get out there and just do it!!

What's in my bag

Hello World! 

The other day I decided to update my foundation routine, because I have had a burst of acne and the old one wasn't working. 

1. The base 

First, I use a primer that I can't reccomend because I don't know where it's from. But, I can recommend using a primer full stop because they make the skin smoother and easier to apply make up on. 

Next is another item I cant recommend. It's a clear pen that I use to outline my eyebrows and lips, it kind of works to smooth and hide any hairs or impurities. 

My third product is the Garnier BB cream for light oil to combination cream. I absolutely adore this product and also use it at school or if I don't want to wear a full face of make up. 

Fourth is the Natio natural skin light foundation. This is, as it's called, light foundation and almost like a tinted moisturiser. I have quite large pores and wearing thick foundation makes pimples pop up like flowers in spring. This product is great for skin which reacts badly to make up, especially when paired with a light BB cream or similar in a light shade. 

Next is the cover girl concealer in a tan shade. I can recommend basically any concealer, it's a matter of winding what works best on your skin. But for a concealer, apply after the foundation, it helps the concealer to work better. 

For the final product, apply a light touch of powder to set the foundation. Apply it mostly to the areas where you want the best coverage of blemishes and such. Another tip, tilt your head backwards slightly when applying the power to help it stay on better. 

Ok, so that's my recommended when it comes to foundations, if you would like the next level of make up, leave a comment below.

Skirts Galore

Hello World!

For this post in going to do something a little different, and I'm going to give you some tips on styling for a skirt 

I absolutely love wearing skirts, especially because you can wear them in any season, and they always look good on everyone. 

For a patterned skirt: 

For a patterned skirt like this, I would keep your clothes in a simple colour pallet that uses the colours in the skirt 

For this skirt, I would wear a grey or white shirt, and accessorise with a little splash of cool colours (blues and purples) and in winter wear solid black tights. 

For a floral skirt, I would use a denim jacket and either a white shirt, or a plain shirt in the main colour from the skirt 

Eg. Here I would use a pink or white shirt 

Shoes

For skirts I nearly always wear either boots (black or brown) or high top solid black converses. For a light skirt or fancy dress, wear roman sandals or strappy sandals to really make it look good 

There you have it! 

I hope some of these tips were handy, go forth and wear skirts :)

School Hair Made Easy

Hello World! 

I have realised over the past couple days that one of the hardest tasks in a girls life (first world problems) is finding a decent hairstyle for school. Now this may sound stupid, but sometimes you just want to go that extra mile and really get a hairstyle to impress. 

1. The reverse braid bun

As hard as this hairstyle looks, it's actually super easy to make. If you're anything like me and absolutely suck at French braids, simple filp your hair over group the bottom section and just pull it over your hair, looks the same and is so much easier. 

2. Side plait 

This hairstyle is super nice and is super super easy. I usually do this one with four small braids across the head, and then loosen the bun for a nice messy but controlled look. 

3. Twsit ponytail 

Another really easy one, just pull even sized sections from either side of your head, twist them tightly and use bobby pins to hold them in place while you twsit the rest. Then, pull the braids and the rest of your hair into a ponytail and tie. Once there, grab the twists, pull the bobby pins off and wrap the hair around the hair tie. 

4. Half up half down 

This hairstyle has to be one of my favourites coz I absultley adore it. Simply spilt your hair in half just above your ears, and pull into a ponytail, leaving the bottom half down. For curly hair, I recommend taking the side bits just behind your ears into the ponytail as well, as it makes your hair sit nicer, and also gives the impression of being a single ponytail. 

So there you have it!! 

I hope some of these hairstyles really help you, and if any of you guys know any more back to school hairstyles, leave a comment below and let me know :)

May- favourites

Hello World! 

So we have yet again come full circle, and yet another month is over! 

I have decided to make a new tradition and have decided to make a monthly favourites. Every month I will post to you guys what I have loved the most, and what I think you should try 

First edition, May! 

Item one: favourite food 

My favourite food of May is vegimite chocolate. As strange as it sounds, it actually tastes amazing and I love eating it. I hate vegimite but I adored the chocolate 

Item two: Favourite clothing item 

Winter coats. I have a coat similar too this and I absolutely adore it. It's so warm and cozy, and I wear it everywhere. Not to mention is very fashionable and in right now. 

Item three: Favourite make- up product

The revlon custom eyes natural compact. For someone like me who isn't great looking when wearing make- up, the compact is great with the natural looking colours. My favourite is the gold on the right, which gives a really natural look while still looking amazing 

Item Four: favourite drink 

Words can't express how much I love this drink. It is such a delight to drink and it tastes amazing. I highly reccomend this drink. 

Item five: favourite book

Despite having been released a while ago, I only just discovered this series and I absolutely love it (look out for a book review soon) 

Item six: favourite hair style 

So this is sort of an inverted French braid, and even if it's not the real name this is what I call it (if someone knows please tell me it's real name). This hairstyle looks great, especially if you have coloured hair, it really brings out the colour. 

So that's it for now, hope you enjoyed it, and make sure to check some of those products out, they really are amazing

Desert time

Hello World! 

I have a product review for you all today, and it's a very delicious one 

Product: Pancakes with milo ice- cream

How to create: 

What you will need for this delicious meal is pancakes, I've used the greens original pancake shake, which is a powered mix that you add water to and shake to create! 

Then, you need ice cream and some milo 

All you do is scoop out as much ice cream as you want, sprinkle some milo on the top and mix. 

Once you have created both of these, all you do is grab your favourite movies, a comfy seat and warm blanket, then scoop some milo ice cream onto a pancake, smooth it out like butter, and eat. 

YUM! 

Tips: 

When cooking your pancakes in a fry pan, try putting it on medium heat and, using a paper towel or cloth, apply some butter evenly to the pan, as this creates a non stick surface allowing for easing flipping and removal of the pancakes. 

Enjoy, and if you try this, leave a comment below telling me what you think.

New boots

Hello World! 

Got back from my trip to Mackay yesterday afternoon (had an absolute blast and will be posting pictures soon), and today with mum I went shopping to celebrate my return. 

We went to the nearest shopping centre, and I managed to pick up some brand new leather ankle boots 

And for only $40 from Aldi, I was pretty happy with this find, considering I've been looking for new boots since my black pair broke last December.

What's the latest thing you've found when out shopping and bought that you absolutely love?
