2016 Goals.

14:16:00 Unknown 0 Comments

So 2015 is coming to a close, so it's time to set some goals!

I had a look back at my 'New Years Thoughts' post from this time last year & I have to say I've achieve more in 2015 than I actually thought I had.

So much of my life has changed over the past year & it has to be the most challenging year I think I've ever faced for so many reasons.

So onto my goals:

  • Post more consistently on my youtube channel & blog.
  • Start a gaming youtube channel.
  • Build up my photography & studio more.
  • Be more creative/ artistic with photo shoots.
  • Sort out my allergy & get healthier.
  • Do more exercise & yoga.
  • Save up to move out.
So those are just a few things I'd like to focus on for 2016!

Let me know in the comments below what some of your goals are.

Have a happy new years guys!
Stay safe & have fun!

2015 Finds!

14:17:00 Unknown 0 Comments

2015 has been a great year for discoveries!
So instead of doing an end of year favourites I wanted to film something a little different.

So I decided to go with my favourite finds/ discoveries of 2015!


Some of my highlights have been finding out how amazing lip liners are, especially MACs & NYX's contour palette which is the first contour palette I've found for truly pale people. There have been plenty of other items too including haircare, more beauty, body care & skincare!

Netflix Recommendations #2

14:04:00 Unknown 0 Comments

As it's now the holidays, for some of us that means a lot of time with the tv/ Netflix!
I personally watch Netflix a lot throughout the year. However if you're looking for some prime watching here is my list of netflix recommendations.

Orange is the New Black

I know I'm late to this one, but if you're looking for a funny & witty series to get into this will be perfect for you. I will warn you that this programme has quite a lot of sexual content, so it's definitely not for children. The first series was so good I ended up binge watching it. I'm not that into the second series at the moment though.

Scream

Another Netflix exclusive I believe. This series is exactly was I love about AHS (American Horror Story), they have approximately 13 hours to create a story & scare the shit out of you. This series is obviously based off the Scream movies, however there are some differences. They have also left it VERY open for the second series too! Even my mom, who isn't into horror, enjoyed this for its crime & 'who done it' elements.

Louis Theroux - Extreme Love: Autism

I wanted to go with something a little different as my last recommendation, a documentary. Netflix actually have a great/ vast section of documentaries & I love a good documentary! I happened to just find this very insightful one in the Louis Theroux series. This episode focuses on children with Autism. Personally I think this is something everyone could do with learning more about! I have already studied autism in A level Psychology, but this documentary really hits you & allows you an insight into how complex autism is.

Amazing Advent!

12:16:00 Unknown 0 Comments

Merry Christmas Everyone!

This means that advent is well & truly over.
So it's time to sort through all the goodies from the past month. I am quite the fan of beauty advent calendars, so this year I decided to try The Body Shop's!

Firstly the packaging is super cute & festive. It really is 24 happy days!


The inside packaging is just as amazing, with these present tag designed boxes.
Each containing a lovely bath, body or beauty based item.


I'll admit like most calendars there are the odd products that are 'filler' gifts, however there were only 2 within this calendar. Which is a lot better than some of the previous calendars I've had!


Check out the video below for my full unboxing & see what goodies are inside!

let's Get Festive!

Let's get festive!
Here is my favourite Christmassy eye look for this year.

This is glam enough for any Christmas party or night out but equally as appropriate for Christmas dinner (maybe drop the eyeliner & go for a neutral lip).


My inspiration for this look what a gold/ green shade in my MAC pre-made warm tones eyeshadow palette. The shade is called Unwind. I thought combined with a red lip it would make for a very festive make up look!

Butter Bear

17:30:00 Unknown 1 Comments

It's holiday season, so it's time to relax!
What better way to do it than with a Lush bath bomb.

One of my favourites is the Butter Bear bath bomb!


It's definitely not the most colourful or crazy bath bomb that they do, however it is amazing none the less.
It has a lovely cocoa & vanilla scent, which isn't too overpowering. So if you're not a fan of over-scented products you'll love this one. It fizzes away revealing a lovely luxurious bath oil.
If you have dry skin or just need a little added moisture Butter Bear is perfect!

The oil also makes shaving super easy, as the oil acts like a shaving oil so no foam/gel necessary. It also means you don't need to moisturise after! Win win or what?!?

If you love this bath bomb too, the same formulation is available all year round as the Butterball.

Fall is well & truly here!
So I thought I'd share some of my fall staple items with you guys. This is going to include fashion beauty, skincare etc. A bit of everything really.

For fashion, to be honest anything black goes! Also layers are must for me!

When it comes to beauty it's darker nudes or deep berry lips.
For my skin anything that is super moisturising & hand creams.

Real Cheeky Party!

14:23:00 Unknown 1 Comments

Benefit are always on it at this time of year with their gift sets & this year I was lucky enough to get one for my birthday!
The one I got was 'Real Cheeky Party', which is very similar to one they released last year which I missed out on.


This kit comes with 4 blushes, a bronzer, a cream highlighter, a gel eyeliner & a mascara.
The sizes of these products, especially the powders, are amazing value for money. This set is great if you're interested in Benefits top products but don't fancy using all of your money on them!

Some of these products I already own & love, which is always a nice place to start.
I've since tried out all of the other products & like them all. The product I'm less keen on is the Watts Up highlighter, as I find it a little gold for my skin tone sometimes.

Overall I think this kit is a great gift to anyone who's into make up. I also think it's probably one of the best value for money kits from their collection this year.

Check out the video for my full review:

Soap & Glory Scents of Occasion
Fragrance is always a nice treat, however if you aren't too sure what type a girl likes, go for a set like this that has a variety of different ones. Soap & Glory scents are really nice & comfortable to wear. This set is available from Boots for only £12.00.

Yankee Candle in Black Cherry
Women love candles, it's just part of life! Yankee Candles are great quality & smell amazing. There is a scent for everyone, trust me. I love this Black Cherry one for this wintery time of year.

This Michael Kors watch is available from Selfridges for £229

Christmas Wishlist!

12:24:00 Unknown 0 Comments

Christmas is coming!
So it's time to get shopping!

So I wanted to share with you guys some of items that are on my wishlist for this year.

Urban Decay Naked Smoky Eyeshadow Palette
I love all of the Naked palettes I own & they are my 'go to' when it comes to eyeshadow. Sooo I think it's safe to say I want/ need this one as well for my collection! The range of colours look amazing!

Zoeva Rose Gold Brush Set
You can never have too many make up brushes in my opinion & these rose gold ones look gorgeous. I have also heard nothing but good things about Zoeva's brushes.

Armani Diamonds Violet Perfume
I already have the original version of these perfume & it's my holy grail. I smelt this one in Boots the other day & it's just as perfect.

Bellami 6 in 1 Curler
I have wanted this curler for  SO long, however for ages they couldn't sell them to the UK. Not anymore though! Just think of all the different hairstyles you could do with just this kit.

Bellami Clip in Wrap Ponytail
Another Bellami item. I already own some of their hair extensions & they're amazing! However doing a slick back pony can sometimes be a pain due to the wefts, so a clip in pony tail would be ideal.

Imperial Candle in Black Raspberry Vanilla
As a home fragrance lover, candles are the perfect gift. I found this company a while ago & they're candles are amazing. Highly scented & burn so evenly. They also come with a special gift of a piece of jewellery, usually a ring.

Dial A Smile - Worth The Hype?

14:51:00 Unknown 0 Comments

After hearing all the hype on youtube from a lot of big youtubers I decided to buy the Dial A Smile teeth whitening kit by Whitening Lightning.

The question though: Is it really worth the hype?


So firstly a bit about the kit, it uses a gel & LED light to whitening the teeth. I did also pick up a pair of the Super Booster whitening pens too. The brands advises to use both in conjunction anyway.

So I'm going to get straight to the point with this one. It didn't work for me.
I have tried this various times, I even tried using it multiple times a week but still it hasn't worked.

I think it probably makes a bit of difference but I'm not sure if that's my mind seeing what I'm hoping to see!

I'm not the only person that's tried the kit either, I got my partner to try it too and he still had very little luck with it.

I purchased this kit whilst it was on offer, but I sure as hell wouldn't pay full price for it!
It's definitely not worth the money!

De-stress with Superdrug

15:12:00 Unknown 0 Comments

I sometimes find it's hard to pick up a cheaper face mask from the drugstore. However Superdrug now have their own range of these.
There are six different mud masks in this range, which all target different skin needs.
This ranges from purifying, exfoliating, detoxifying, you name it!

The one I've tried from the range is the De-stressing Aloe Vera Mud Mask.
Honestly I went with this one simply because my skin can be sensitive to certain products so I thought I'd be pretty safe trying the Aloe Vera one.


This mask is a very gentle mask. So if you're not wanting for anything crazy in a face mask you'll love this.
I find this mask to not do that much for my skin. However it is nice a quick little skin 'pick me up'.
It isn't chunky & doesn't dry out really quick, which is great because some mud masks dry out far too quickly.
The packaging is actually really good too! I have quite long nails & really don't get on with tubs/ pots too well. A lot of girls will feel me on this one, I'm sure.

I would like to try some of the other masks from the range, especially the detoxifying one.
For only £2.59 I can't see any reason not to have them all to be honest!

If you're just starting to get into face masks I'd highly recommend these as they quite basic masks & don't have any scary effects like heating or tingling.

Pure Vanilla

09:44:00 Unknown 0 Comments

As a home fragrance lover vanilla candles are basically an essential!
I don't know a single candle company that don't do a vanilla scent, because well it's just a perfect scent.

If you're looking for something more on the cheap end of the candle scale, I'd recommend this candle.


This is one of Ikea's Sinnlig candles. These are their one wick candles which are only £2.50!
They burn for up to 40 hours, and come in varying scents.
They are scented & smell more when burnt, however they aren't very strong. They don't quite fill a room like a Yankee Candle or other branded candles do. If you don't like overly scented candles though, you'll love these.

Overall an essential candle for me. I keep one pretty much everywhere, including the toilet in my studio (haha).

Fashion Photography 101 - Book Review

22:41:00 Unknown 0 Comments

Sometimes we all need a little inspiration & if you're into, or getting into fashion photography this book should be on your bookshelf!

This is Fashion Photography 101 by Lara Jade.

One of the reasons I got this book is because I love her fashion work, I also love that she grew up in the same town as me. All around inspiring stuff.


So onto the book itself.
If you're a true newbie and need some help with editorial fashion photography this book is really aimed at you! A lot of this I already know, however the photoshop section is quite interesting.
The images used are great and the book breaks thing down into stages via the images. So again newbie perfect really, as you can really see what is going on & what she means.

Overall I think it's a little to beginner for me, but a good little refresh to get my editorial ideas flowing! It's also a nice little insight to how a world renowned photographer works!

Gluten Free Tips!

09:59:00 Unknown 0 Comments

I've been gluten free for just under a year now so I thought it was about time I posted some tips for going gluten free.

1. It's not as hard as it seems!
I know any dietary changes can seem scary & complicated, but it doesn't always have to be. Gluten free sections in supermarkets are now quite visible & with a huge variety. You can still have the odd treat like cake but it's a great diet to cut down on the naughty things like that.

2. You need to check labels on everything.
Although supermarkets have sections it always does to check the label. Some items like frozen goodies aren't generally in the 'free from' sections. Same applies to items like dairy-free cheese!
Another reason to check the label is for me I also can't have oats, barley & rye, so even in the 'free from' section I have to check.

3. Find gluten free recipes to stop your diet getting boring.
There are plenty of websites, companies & books with some amazing gluten free recipes. So don't feel you're limited to fish/ meat & vegetables, because that's really not the case!

4. Check your drinks too!
By this I generally mean alcoholic drinks. Drinks like beer have yeast in them & therefore gluten so stay away! Spirits that are distilled are generally fine.
I can do a more in depth blog post on this if you would like, just leave a comment below.

5. Ask at restaurants.
Yes, you can still eat out! However a lot of menus STILL don't have gluten allergens listed, so ask your waiting staff. Also before going anywhere I always check menus online, if I don't see anything I think I can have I won't be going there.

6. Fruit & vegetable are gluten free!
In case you didn't know fruit & veg are gluten free, so eat up! Go for veg over fruit because of the sugars, however fruit can help curb your sweet tooth. This is another thing about the diet which can help with weight lose, if that's part of your aim.

So I hope these tips help you a bit. Whether you're going gluten free by choice, intolerance or celiac reasons these tips should help you out!

American Horror Story Favourites!

18:44:00 Unknown 1 Comments

As it's Halloween week I wanted to post something along that theme.
So I'm going to be sharing some my favourite moments from American Horror Story!

This obviously isn't going to contain much from season 5 as we are only 4 episodes in.

I personally love American Horror Story and started watching them a good few years ago now. After binge watching the first two seasons on Netflix I was hooked.

My favourite season is either Asylum or Coven. Honestly I loved them both for different reasons.

So into some of my favourite moments (in no order):

Coven: Witch's Council try to blame Fiona & Spaldings denial.


I love this whole scene. It is acted out perfectly by every cast member involved. Fiona remains so cool the whole time. And as for Spalding well his love story is just great. Not many guys would do that for the woman they love!

Freak Show: Twisty's Story


Like I a lot of people I loved the Twisty character, and even more so once we heard his story. It's very enlightening & explains his crazy misunderstood behaviour. Although I do think it's a shame he didn't appear more in the season.

Freak Show: How Elsa lost her legs


Another crazy backstory from Freak Show, actually both are in the same episode (it's quite an episode)! Elsa reveals the horrifying way in which she lost both of her legs. Note: this one isn't for the fault hearted.

Hotel: An introduction to Mr March


Can you tell I love a story? I also love this character! I know we still don't know that much about him but I still think he's brilliant. A crazy charismatic character is Mr March & when I say crazy I mean psycho killer crazy. However I find him a very likeable guy! I can't wait to see what he has in store for us!

What's your favourite AHS moment?

What Vlogging REALLY Means

11:18:00 Unknown 0 Comments

Now I do vlog sometimes for my youtube channel, however I still find it really embarrassing!
So I wanted to point out some things in case you're thinking of starting vlogging.

This post is not to discourage anyone, but more to highlight what it actually involves.


1. People will look at you weird!
Youtube is massive now, however there are still a lot of people that don't really know about the content or care. So people will look at you weird when you vlog in public. Even if you're sat in the comfort of your own car, someone will shoot you a confused/ odd look.
If they don't do this some people try to get in the back of your shot thinking they're 'photobombing' you. Orrrrr they will ask you if you want them to 'take the photo for you'.

2. Explaining it to others can be awkward.
Whether it's because of the previous or if someone just asks you your job/ hobby, unless they're into Youtube they probably won't understand what you do.

3. Editing at 12am.
If you're vlogging the whole day, when in the day will you get time to edit it? Chances are it'll be late at night. So be prepared to lose some sleep!

4. Quiet days don't make good content.
If you vlog a lot (i.e. daily vlog) you'll know that quiet days don't make great content generally & Youtube is very competitive these days, so good content is essential. So maybe skip on the quiet ones & only vlog the more exciting events.

5. People think they know you.
This is the case with any social media, however vlogs are quite personal content. So people will start to think they know everything about you, which isn't necessarily true. The simple answer is, only show people what YOU & those around you are comfort with, don't over share.

Nude Lip Lovin

11:51:00 Unknown 1 Comments

I think this is something you learn as your experience make up, but everyone has their favourite type of 'nude' lip colour.
As for me it has to be a pink/ mauve nude!

Below are some of my favourite lip products in my favourite nude colour.


Left to right:

Rimmel Kate Moss Nude Lipstick in 45.
Rimmel Kate Moss Nude Lipstick in 42.
These lipsticks are great, especially for the drugstore! They are really moisturising & comfortable to wear. The smell is little weird but you get that quite a bit with drugstore lipsticks so I think it can be forgiven as these two colours are just beautiful nudes.

Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Lacquer in Charm Offensive.
I'm not a big lip lacquer fan but this one by Soap & Glory is actually quite nice as it isn't a matte finish. This makes it really moisturising and pretty long wearing (as it doesn't dry & crack). It also smells amazing, like ice cream.

MAC Lipstick in Twig.
This one is a little more on the brown side compared to the rest however I still love it. I feel like this is a great nude shade by MAC that isn't talked about enough! If you can't get hold of whirl, give this a try. It's a little more pink but that probably makes it look a little less aging.

Fleur De Force Lip Gloss in 020 Written in the Stars.
This is very new to my collection as it has not long been launched but it has already made it into my favourite list! Firstly, it's about time someone did a gloss instead of a lip lacquer (I'm totally over lip lacquers, sorry), as they're soooo much more wearable. This is honestly going to be a handbag staple of mine as it's buildable enough to wear on its own or to layer on top of another lip product.

Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in Fauxmance.
Again I love a good lipgloss to finish off a lip look & these Benefit ones are perfect. They're so comfortable to wear and smell delicious! They aren't quite as pigmented as the Fleur ones though, so are better to layer over other lip products.

MAC Lip Liner in Dervish.
This is my go to lip liner! It's the base I use for all of my nude lip looks. I love this on it's own & combined with other products. Sometimes I use a lipstick or simply just a gloss like the Benefit Ultra Plush or the Fleur De Force.

What's your favourite type of nude?
If your favourites are similar to mine, let me know some mauve nude must haves of your own!

Halloween is coming!

17:44:00 Unknown 0 Comments

It's that time of year again where the creepy/ scary & gross tutorials hit youtube.
And I have to say.. I love it!

So I thought I'd channel my Halloween character from last year & show you guys how I created this make up.


The classic horror character I'm talking about is Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street.
Well the costume is in fact 'Miss Freddy', but I didn't want to just go with a jumper dress & some cute accessories.
What's Halloween without a little horror!

This tutorial is quick special effects free tutorial. Anyone with the most basic of make up kits can do this look!

Keratin Smooth Treatment

10:19:00 Unknown 0 Comments

Sometimes hair can get a little dry & lose some of the natural keratin. So to prevent breakage we need to restore some of this keratin. One way of doing this is a keratin treatment.

You can go to salon professionals for a more intense keratin treatment, however Tresemme have produced an at home equivalent!

The product claims to smooth the hair, reduce frizz & just overall make hair more manageable.
It also claims to last up to four washes, so you don't have to use this product after every wash.


All these claims sound amazing, and make for a great product if it does work.

After testing it myself I can say that it does work! I'm not convinced on the 7 day part, however after using the treatment my hair was super smooth & significantly less frizzy. It didn't help with the detangling my hair much though (my hair is the worst for getting knotty)!

Some advise I would give, is to use a few pumps less than the bottle says to use, unless you have super long hair. Also make sure you are properly blow drying your hair when you use this product. If you half dry your hair it is just sit in your hair, which is not ideal.

Some other good points to this product is it smells amazing & that it doesn't leave your hair feeling greasy or heavy!

Overall if you have extreme frizz I would still recommend a salon, but if you are looking for something to help with a little hair management/ treatment this is definitely worth a go for the price tag.

Fall Make Up

10:22:00 Unknown 0 Comments

Sadly summertime is well & truly over (shreds a tear)!

So with that come a change in make up style.
I don't tend to stick religiously to trends but I do love a dark vampy lip in the fall!

I also quite like a matte semi-smokey eye look.
I mean why not it is October & Halloween is coming!

The key products for this look are the eye shadow palette & lipstick mainly.
The palette I'm using is the Urban Decay Naked Basics 2, using the darker colour to the right hand side of the palette.
The lipstick that I'm loving is MAC's Rebel. It's just the perfect dark berry colour!

Watch the tutorial here:

Ultra Plush

11:53:00 Unknown 1 Comments

I personally am the sort of person who loves a glossy lip, even in fall.
These are some of my favourites glosses & they are Benefit's Ultra Plush Lip Glosses.

Firstly can we take a moment for this packaging. Benefit always gets a 10/10 on packaging for me!
This carnival style packaging is super cute.


The glosses come in a variety of very complimentary colours, airing more on the nude/ neutral side of lip colours. Which I personally really like in a range!
I think the most important thing to mention about the formulation is that they are NOT sticky, in any way, shape or form! Which makes them so comfortable to wear, to the point where you forget you're even wearing a gloss.
They aren't overly pigmented just like a lot of glosses, but I love to layer these over other lip products to create a really glossy lip look.

You can see the colour pay off in the swatch image below. 


These two shades are fauxmance (top) & A-Lister (bottom). Which I got in last years Benefit advent calendar and I have to say I get SO much wear out of these two shades.
Overall these are a great gloss & I would highly recommend them!

Why You Need A GoPro!

17:59:00 Unknown 0 Comments

Calling all videographers/ vloggers you need a Go Pro in your life!
Now they aren't anything new, but they certainly are special.

Go Pro really did get it right. They are a such a versatile camera you'll be amazed the minute you pick one up. From the live feed app to the waterproof housing these cameras are 'Go anywhere, Do anything'.

If you're looking to create awesome promotional videos or just travel vlogs for fun this is the perfect bit of kit!

Although they & the accessories aren't cheap they all have their uses depending what use you plan to get out of this camera. They have some awesome kits for such things like scuba diving. I would love to take this diving!
The possibilities really are endless with these things.

You an easily use them for more simple things like driving time lapses for vlogging or cool dog, chest or head cam. There are so many accessories you can use to make your content & productions that bit more creative & stylish.

Honestly I think it's an essential piece of kit for anyone interested in video. They now also have some more bargain friend models, so definitely check them out!

Polaroid Perfect Photos

13:31:00 Unknown 0 Comments

As a photographer I have always loved the classic polaroid photo, however with the release of the Fujifilm Instax Polaroid Cameras there has been a new wave of love for this stylishly vintage images.

So for those of you that are confused (although I doubt that's many) polaroids are an old-fashioned way of taking photos. Polaroid cameras differed from other cameras though, as they instantly print the photo from the camera!
The image takes a few minutes to develop & voila! You have your printed photo in your hand!


As with a lot of vintage things, these polaroid images are currently having a revival! So of course the camera manufacturers are going to jump on this, Fujifilm to be exact!
They offer a variety of different polaroid cameras in their 'Instax' range, varying in size & colour.

So I had to get one to try for myself!


So onto my thoughts.

I like the design although it is very different to the classic polaroid camera. The choice of colours is a really fun element too, and opens them up to the public more (so not just a photographer's camera).
The one I picked up was the Black Instax Mini.
You can opt to buy them primarily with or without the cartridges, but it makes the most sense to buy them with really.
The Instax Mini retails for £64.00 & the original £60, so these are ridiculously affordable for a camera!
(Tip: Christmas is coming, these make a great gift!)


So onto the photos it takes. Now if you do take a lot of photos don't ever expect the same quality or colour from a polaroid than your DSLR or iPhone! But once you're used to the camera you can get better images out of it by utilising the settings better. To explain a little more the camera has different light settings, which it should automatically choose depending on the light source. However you can also choose it yourself, which I prefer to do.

Overall I think they're a great gift idea & a bit of creative fun, however for the professional they're definitely not going to make it into the essential kit list.
