I feel so productive right now i bought a new planner and its already my new favourite thing ever!!

Anyway,i hope you are well and have had a fab week.If not that's okay have a pamper night and relax!!

A couple of weeks ago i was sent Dream dots by the company,i really wanted to test the product out before i sat down and wrote a review for you so now i am more expirenced with this product we will begin.

This is the overall packaging it comes in a larger box then this like a white box with this inside.It contains the actual dots with the instructions on how to use them,when i first got my first package and when i opened it,it didn't have the dream dots in which wasn't great.However i can understand how hard it must be to sort through all the boxes but their did send me another and this one did contain the dream dots!

Okay so the instructions have three sections to it 'what is a spot' which basically explains what a spot is but it was really interesting to know in detail,the next one is 'how to use dream dots' followed by 'how dream dots work' it is also in different languages on the different sides.

So onto the actual dots their are skin toned so when i have them on it just looks like skin which is really good as if i am taking a photo or even around the house it makes my skin looknormal and not that i have a huge spot on my face.

How dream dots help your spots-

So i bet at this stage of the post your probably thinking how the heck can a patch make my spot or zit go away. what happens is the patch which is made of wafter thin patented hydro colloid and once placed on the skin the matrix absorbs the spot fluid making the patch turn white.Then the moist under the patch helps the skin to recover. 

My first time using it-

So first before you put it on your skin has to be cleaned and dry so i did my normal skincare routine and dried my skin,i then removed it from the backing paper and placed it directly over the spot.I held for a couple and seconds then i had to leave it on for 8-12 hours so i slept in mine.When woke up i railed the colour of the patch had gone more white now this is because the dream dot absorbs the spot fluid so if you have a whitehead it would be perfect,also because it absorbs this your spot shrinks so you can defiantly feel the difference.whilst having the patch on it becomes moist which helps the skin to recover without using spot creams and other things like that which could only make it worse.

Now my first time using this i was so impressed it helped my spot so much and my spot recover really well,however the next time i used it didn't go as well.When i took the dream dot of it actually left a red circle where the patch had been around the spot,now i don't know if this was because i might have slept on that side of y face or something else.That was the only time that happened to me so it isn't something that could happen to everyone. 

My overall opinion is i think this idea of a patch is great and the fact it is so simple to use its great! however i would not recommend if you have sensitive skin but i would really recommend trying the dream dots out and having ago because it has really really help me when i get a big main spot.

Happy New Years eve!

i cant believe this time in 24hours it will be 2017,that makes me excited/nervous!

i thought as it is New Years eve when you are reading this i thought i would share my makeup with you,i am at a party on the eve and a party on the day,

i will probably do the same makeup for both nights!

so without any further chatter i will jump straight in i hope you enjoy seeing the products i will be using!

So what i start of with is a moisturiser,now normally my skin is oiling when i wake up however i like to wash my face in the morning so it gets rid of all the oil from my skin so adding some moisturiser helps my skin become smooth when adding the foundation.once my moisturiser has sunk into my skin i go in with my primer now i tend to swap between many primers but i use this one for special party events as it adds a nice glow/highlight to my skin and makes my foundation on my skin glow more! with my setting spray i do i couple sprays on my face just so my foundation moves around more easy i love using setting spray before apiling my foundation it really makes my foundation stick to my face!

Now if you read my favourite or my other makeup looks you will know i am totally obsessed with this foundation it just works for my skin and is so easy to build up,i am using the sculpting brush to blend this is now i know that's a little weird as it is for contour however if you have this brush please just try use it for foundation it is sooo good and blends like a dream! On top of my foundation i will probably powder which i totally forgot to take a picture of! i will normally use the stay matte by rimmel! them going in with the naked concealer which i got in not the right shade so i use it over spots or dark areas of the face like around the nose,then with the LA girl concealer i will use this under my eyes as it is super light perfect for my under eyes!

(just a little notice i have put colour squares on the eye shadows i used so you know which colours)

To start of i put the white chocolate shade all over my lids from the chocolate bar palette then to start building up my crease i went in with salted caramel which is a lovely light brown then following that i went in with milk chocolate.then moving into my morphe i palette i used the red square shade which is similar to the salted caramel shade,them with the purple square which is such a nice purple i put that in my crease which really made my eye pop,then i applied  the blue square shade and the yellow shade together so it was nice and shimmering and applied this in my inner corner then dragging it across my lid.

i am so in love with this contour kits it has a highlighter which i don't really use but it is nice to travel with as it has everything in,so first of all i used the second white shade across and tried to bake now it didn't go great but practise makes perfect!! i did the baking with the real techniques sponge which is so good to use as you can get really under the eye.Then whilst i let the baking set i went in with the contour so i used the second shade in and the last one well i basically mixed them all together,after i brushed it all of using a big powder brush.To finish i went in with my all time favourite highlighter and placed this along my nose on the bridge then top of my upper lip,in my inner eye then up my cheek bone.

then to finish my whole makeup look of am going in with my new favourite liquid lipstick it is such a gorgeous purple it is called Androgyny,soon i will be doing a blog all about all the liquid lipsticks i have and do swatches and a review so keep a look out! this lipstick went really well with my eye look it was perfect also for the outfit i went with!

And that is it,it just hit me that this is my last blog of 2016!

i have had the best 2016 but am so excited for a new year and excited for a full year of blogging!

let me know in the comments your plans for New Years?

i hope you have the best New Years Eve and Day!

i will see you in 2017!!

winter frost & winter sunsets

I know this is going to sound crazy but i love love cold mornings there is something about walking to school with my scarf and coat on all cosy! Also waking up in the mornings drinking a hot chocolate and cuddling in a fluffy throw! Doesn't it just sound lush!!

We can't forget about the sunsets,i love all sunsets every season is different for sunsets but winter is just beautiful with pinks and orange it's just beautiful and so photogenic!! 

Cat cuddles

Now if you have a cat you will know the joys of having a cat all cosy next to you,even though my cats are very lazy and sleep all day in the winter there like been covered in blankets and it is supper cute!!

Hot chocolate & a good book

Recently i have been into reading every night i tend to go through phases where i read every night then i don't read at all and recently it is all i do! The recent book i have just finished was 'holding up the universe' by Jennifer Niven (my favourite author) am hoping in the new year to start book reviews? let me know if you would like that! 

However a good book is never complete without a lovely hot drink my favourite recently has been chocolate latte!

i hope you have a lovely week and i will see you next Saturday & Sunday!

welcome to day two of my Halloween special today as you can see by the title I am doing well attempting a Halloween tutorial.
this is a mixed one it is a sort of burnt face with a slit neck,

let me know what you are going as this Halloween?

To start of I got a sash full of gelatine and poured about 2-4 tbsp of milk in a microwave proof dish, after that I placed it in the microwave for around a minute. Once out I mixed together until it was partly smooth and thick.





I then  applied the mixture to my neck in a line well more of a wiggly line, I then had more mixture left over so I decided to apply this to my face.
I left this to dry for around 10-15 minutes, when dry I started to powder it down with the stay matte powder just to make it a little more my shade however it is clear therefore your skin colour comes through.

once the gelatine had dried I started to peel the sides off to create the image of the skin falling off, to make it easier to pull the edges, or just you can just move your face around.
Around the edges where I had pulled it up I went in with my Calvin Klein  lipstick in rose rush this is a very rich purple/red colour and it created a really nice bruised look and like the blood was underneath.
I then followed that lipstick with another and this was the Avon lipstick in the shade power plum this was more of a red so patted this all over the gelatine then went in with a brush to blend it out.
I think this created a really shining burnt look,because I didn't have any fake blood I went in with my benefit bene tint which is a red liquid very similar to fake blood.
I just poured this mostly all over.

I was actually really happy with how this turned out and was so fun to do!
I really hope you enjoyed reading and seeing the picture.
I also hope you enjoyed more Halloween two day special!

cannot believe September is over like what!! where the heck has this year gone,however i am pretty happy it is finally October!

i have some very exciting Halloween blogs which am looking forward to doing,but today i thought i would end September on a high with my faves.

so lets just get straight on with it!

Benefit roller lash - wow wow,this mascara is just amazing its officially my best friend!sometimes i dont even need to curl my lashes because it gives them such good volume,also it doesn't make my lashes clumping one bit!

too faced melted matte lipstick - this matte lipstick is great i got it in the shade child star and it is a beautiful dark ish nude it is perfect for all year round and such an easy colour to go with anything,also lasts such a long time!

kiko fresh cushion perfector - this is a very weird product i have definitely never tried something like this before,when you apply to the skin and start to rub it in it becomes dark then adjusts to your skin colour well that's what it look like it does anyway!

kiko eye shadow - this is a beautiful white with a lot and when i say a lot i mean a lot of glitter in it however it is super pretty its in the shade 128.

paper chase post cards - i picked theses up at the beginning of summer but only just put them up,i think there super cute and motivational to have in my room.

face mask - i have been loving not only these face mask but overall any face mask,i think now the nights are colder and it is getting darker i want to feel all cosy so i have had like a crazy obsession with face mask!

Garnier anti-blackhead deep pore wash- okay so when i first got this i used it along side another wash thinking this one would help my blackheads and the other would help my spots,nooo i was wrong one night i only used this one and oh my this helped not only my blackheads but my spots i was amazed!

abstract notepad - my friend got me this from Spain when she went on holiday and am in love with it! i use it for my blog ideas and it is amazing!

And that's it,it feels really short this blog i hope it isn't,anyway i hope you enjoyed seeing my September faves! 

let me know some of your favourites of this september in the comments?

Hey hey!

hope you are all well and happy!

welcome to yet another summer haul,
i feel this summer has been a very expensive clothe shopping year
(i sort of LOVE it)
so i thought it was only right to share with you all what clothes i got,
i hope you enjoy looking at the clothes i got!

swimwear-

(i do apologise for the first picture it isn't the best) This swimsuit is from primark! now i was a little nervous to try this because it is a little risky however it looks really nice,without sounding big headed but i rather look nice in it! this was i believe £11 which i think is a great price!



Right am going to have a moment of honesty am not the biggest fan of this one,i feel really uncomfortable and i know what you are thing 'why the hell did i get it' well i was going to take it back but i realised i lost the tag so a stuck with it.don't get me wrong it is beautiful but it doesn't feel right.this was from Matilan and it was £16 so it was a little more expensive.

skirts -

tops-

hey hey!

well it has been awhile!

i need to take sometime away to find what i really want to do with this blog,

but am going to write a different blog about that all.

so today am sharing with you my everyday make-up routine,

this look is what i will most likely wear on weekends if i was doing anything!

hope you enjoy...
 so to start i put the Barry m flawless original primer on i finally got my hands on this product in superdrug awhile back and it is far to say i am in love!
then i spray my face with the revolution pro fix spray,now i know you are supposed to put this on after your makeup but i think it really helps my foundation move around my face more.
then for my actual foundation i use the bourjois healthy mix am going to write a full blog about this foundation so am not going to say to much.

 once i have finished my foundation i will move onto my concealer which i forgot to take a picture off but it is the collection lasting perfection it is my all time fave!
to set it all in and keep it on i use the maybelline matte maker powder,i have very oiling skin so this just helps my makeup stay on and not slipping off.
for contour i use the collection contour kit am not like a huge fan of the contour but i am loving the highlight!

 for my eye am using the naked 3,i apply strange all over my lid which just helps my to even out my lid colour as i have very veining lids,then to start building up my crease i use limit then after nooner i think these colours are so beautiful mixed,in the middle of the lid i apply dust which is a sparkly pink.
my lashes i go in with my benefit BAD gal lash i am a huge huge fan of this product!

 for lips theses are two colours that i like to both use recently the one i use more is the mac velvet teddy i love love this lipstick!

for brushes i just use the real techniques i really want to invest in the sigma ones but am not too sure yet but i really like the real technique ones i think they work really well!

 i hope you liked this blog!
