Evening Look ~ Make Up Class

Hey guys! Some of you might know that I currently am on a course at college doing Beauty Therapy Sciences Level 3, first year! In this course we learn all sorts of salon treatments; manicures, pedicures, massage, eye treatments, waxing and make up! On Fridays, we are doing make up at the moment and this Friday, we practised an evening look. Now, we take turns every lesson, so some lessons I am the model and others, I am the MUA!

This Friday I was the MUA and my lovely friend Alison was my model! I decided to go with a slightly bronze look, building up browns of varying shades and a touch of black in the corners. It's not too out there, but its stand out enough to be evening make up!! On her lips I mixed a coral shade with a sheer pink over the top and a touch of highlighter on her cupids bow.

We have to practise coverage and techniques, so we apply concealer, foundation, shader and highlighter, blusher/bronzer, eye shadow, eye liner (which I used a touch of on the outer corners), mascara, eye brow pencil and lipstick. Applying make up on some one else is harder than it looks, but I think I did well with this look and its fun doing it!! Next week some one else is working on me, so you will get a photo of my face and what ever she does to it, haha ;)

The kit we uses is a college kit; S Colour Salon System

What do you guys think of my make up look and have you ever applied make up to any one else? How did you find it?

STAY BEAUTIFUL

Do you like reading?

Hey guys! Sorry its been over a month! I've been for ever busy with college and all sorts! I have also been very lazy and low on energy, so forgive me for that!

Now, to the subject of this blog post!

As some of you might know, I like to write, mainly fantasy stories! I write a lot of different ones, but at the moment I am focusing on one certain project, called High School Horrors, which I started in 2009. It's currently made up of 23 'parts' and is still going. The reason it is in parts is because I write as I go along and upload a bit and a bit each time, on deviant art! Now, like most things in my life at the moment, HSH took a break for a couple of months, just like my blog and drawing and every thing else. But it is now BACK and I have promised myself to focus on it more! I am writing this blog entry to introduce you to the story a bit and just to see if any of you are willing to give a bit of time reading an amateurs work! Since it's split into parts, you don't have to read it all in one go, but a bit at a time!

High School Horrors is about a group of four friends who end up at a weird school at aged 18. Here they learn the truth about the world, and themselves; magic is real and they are very much part of it. Several different races live on the planet, hidden as humans, and a whole need world, an alternate world, is accessible to those who know about it. Unfortunately, that's not the only thing new to our heroes. A terrible enemy, soldiers made of pure darkness, invisible evils and even the undead are what they have to fight against in a tale of fantasy, magic, love and discovering who you really are. And sometimes, that is not a good thing.

Recipe! Make cheap Pizza awesome!

Have you ever had a lusting for pizza but can't afford the cost of a cheesy topped slice (or 8) of heaven? Well I am going to show you how to spice up a cheap 63p pizza with the help of a bit of cheese and some frozen veg!

What you will need: A cheap pizza. I have a 63p Asda Smart Price Pizza here!! You will also need some cheese (ready grated or block, to be grated, what ever you have!) and some toppings of your choice! I've ransacked the freeze and I have some frozen sweet corn, onions, peppers, onions and prawns! Obviously you can put on there what ever you want, you can even just add cheese with no other topping!

Start off with your plain pizza! Looks a bit boring at the moment

Pop your toppings on top if you have gone for some. Start with the smallest things first, leading up to the chunkiest things at the top. I did onions, sweetcorn, mushrooms, peppers then prawns here.

Chuck on as much cheese as you want! I am a cheese-a-holic so I love lots and lots of cheese! The cheese can be your choice, I have grated mozzarella here!

Pop your pizza in the oven for how ever long it needs. Due to the fact you have more on there, it will probably take longer than says on the packet. I tend to cook it until the edges are getting brown and crispy and its hot in the middle (I stick my finger in but if you have a safer method I suggest that ;D I don't burn very easily!)

Take your pizza out the oven, let it cool down for a bit and the slice it up! And here you have a delicious cheesey yummy 63p pizza, jazzed up to YUM status!

Do you do some tips and cheats to spice up cheap boring food? Let me know! And let me know if you try this!

Magnificent Mondays!

Hello every one! As you know, Mondays can be droll days, the first day of work/school/college. But for me, they are marvellous! I am one of the very lucky people to get Mondays off and I love it! I either spend my Mondays in my PJs or with one of my friends!
This Monday I spent the time with one of my besties, Rachel. She popped round at about 11, meaning I had to get up early on a Monday for once ;)

My make of the day was just a cat eye flick and some red lippy;

We spent the first part of the day taking every thing out of my wardrobe and drawers to do a Spring clean of my clothes!! She let me know what I should keep and what I should chuck, and I still ended up with a bigger Keep pile than Chuck haha!!

We took a break at about half 12, to pop into Waterlooville to grab some lunch at the local Wetherspoons! I love it there, the food is always so good! We both had the same thing, though I had the Vegetarian version; Sausage, beans and chips!

Rachel with her sausages

Me with my yummy veg sausages!

The Wetherspoons was new so I snapped a couple of pics! I saw this lovely chair that I was very tempted to take home with me;

And some old fashioned cars and photos on the walls all around;

Check out all the lamp shades too!

There was some lovely wood detailing too, it was almost like eating in a forest, it was very cool, the kind of effect I'd love to work in my own place!

Pretty! Rachel decided to get a dessert too and she picked cheesecake. Wetherspoons cheesecake is THE BEST CHEESECAKE EVER. So Rachel kindly let me have some, the bits that she hadn't covered in chocolate sauce!

So rich, so creamy, so YUM!! Once our bellies were full, we had a little walk round ASDAs and then headed back home to tackle the piles of clothes lying about! I successfully transferred over from my Autumn/Winter wardrobe to my Spring/Summer wardrobe, YAY!

The good thing about clearing out all your drawers and things, is that you find random items you forgot about it, like this lovely Skyrim hat! Me and Rachel both took turns in looking like we were going to slay a few dragons;

Since I also made a lot of room in my drawers, I decided to shuffle things about and move all my make up and nail polishes to the two small top drawers! I counted my nail polishes while I did this and I ended up counting 57!! And I still want more haha!

Just before this, I did Rachel's manicure and she was waiting for them to dry while I did this. I turned around to find her like this!

Comfy Rachel? She left soon afterwards as it was close to five and she had the hayfever, so wasn't feeling too good by then! When she left I popped some washing on, tidied my room up a bit and took photos for my clothes sale!! I also got a good bit of news in the post, as I got a tax rebate! WOO HOO!

Do you ever have good Mondays?

Nail Looks I've been Rocking

Here is a few nail looks I have been wearing over the past couple of weeks!! I am only allowed to wear nail polish on Weekends due to my course, so I make the most of it!!

Shiny bright red from 17 Fast Finish! I love a good classic red sometimes, it really brings out the 50's lady in me!!

For the more girly side of me, I went with a pastel blue Barry M polish with a pink crackle over the top! I love how this came out and totally will wear it again!

For the Barbie in you, I present a delicious glittery pastel palette (try saying that really fast!) Here I popped on a lilac and pink Barry M polish with a pink glitter over the top! Another one I am definitely trying again!

As seen on my Sleepy Sunday blog yesterday, here is 'I Don't Give a Rotterdam' by OPI; a gorgeous grey blue with golden shimmer sparkles!!

What have you been wearing on your nails recently?

Sleepy Sundays!

Hello every one! Long time no blog! Just doing a quick Sleepy Sunday blog with a couple of photos!

My Sundays are generally a chill day, staying in and not wearing make up, in comfy clothes! This Sunday was no exception with a lie in, a roast dinner and a movie with the mother!!

While waiting for my lovely Sunday Roast (best British tradition ever maybe?) I decided to paint my nails with one of my new OPI shades (more nail polish to come later) and I decided on 'I don't give a Rotterdam';

The photo doesn't really give it justice! Its a lovely grey blue colour (like a stormy sky/sea) and it has these tiny flecks of golden shimmer in it, so pretty!! I picked up four OPI shades at a Beauty Expo, which I shall tell you about this week some time!

My Sunday was mostly spent in my room, catching up on all the lovely blogs I follow!

One of my favourite blogs is A Thrifty Mrs. She gives loads of excellent tips and tricks on saving money and being generally awesome! I love her blog so much, it definitely is a go to when I get my own place! Her blog posts are very funny too, she has great wit, so I suggest you go check her out!!

After a yummy roast dinner, I was a bit peckish for something sweet, and my mum had recently come back from Scotland, bringing with her my favourite biscuits of all time; SHORTBREAD

Oh you delicious buttery sugary goodness, I love you so much *touches* If you haven't tried pure butter Shortbread GO FIND SOME. It is the most delicious stuff EVER!! I could live off it if it wasn't so expensive and lacking in vital vitamins and minerals!!

The rest of my day was spent reading blogs, a quick pop to the shops, since it was nice, to get my Vitamin D, a carton of OJ and a small bag of popcorn, then back home to watch Friends with Benefits with the mother!! Very funny film, and a lovely cheesy rom com girly flick!

How was your Sunday?

10 Basic Facts About Me!

Here goes :D

1) I am 23, turning 24 on the 18th of May. This makes me a Taurus, and a very stereo typical Taurus I am too! *stubborn* How do I feel about being 24? I'm not bothered, its just a passing of ages, it doesn't change me much!



2) I am 5 foot 4 and look about 17-18 (and act that age too :P ) I always get IDed, from lottery tickets to alcohol!

3) I love white chocolate and raspberry cookies. FAVOURITE COOKIE EVER. I just like white chocolate in general! Mmmmmmm

 

 

 

4) I am pretty confident about my body, despite not conforming to the 'norm' in our current materialistic world, but, like most women, I have my 'ugly' days. I don't think I am gorgeous, but I think I am cute and I have a great curvy figure despite the fat :D

5) I have a boyfriend who lives in Hull, 260 miles away from me. We will be celebrating 6 years in April <3 It does get me down we are so far away from each other, but we want to move in together when we can! He is a whole foot and 2 inches taller than me!

 

 

 

6) I like to draw cartoon style drawings. I am not very good, but I am improving! I am going to start my own comic this year called 'The Angel Hunters'!!

7) I write fantasy stories. No one reads them, but that doesn't stop me writing them!! I just love to write stories!! One day, I hope people will read them and tell me they like them!

 

Characters from my story 'High School Horrors'

 

8) I don't just have one dream, I have several! I want to write books, be an author; I want to draw and write comics; I want to open and run my own luxury restort/spa; I want to open up my own cafe and bake cupcakes/cakes for it!

9) My best friends are @LeShortOne and @Rachel_TMB, whom are a constant source of cheer and amusement to me. They cheer me up when I am down and I like to laugh at them...I mean...with them ;)

 

 

 

10) I am naturally blonde! I always get asked about this! The only thing I have done to my hair in terms of colour, was had a red streak in at 15, and lilac last year! Though I do want it dip dyed like this;
