A Little Make-Up Shop & THAT BIRTHDAY CAKE!

Hello, Bonjour, Salut, Kenichiwa, erm....that's all I know for now!

Hi Guys,

So if you've read my past blog you'll know about this wheat and gluten free brownie birthday cake I made myself, and trust me it looked so much better in my head. Right, (deep breath) here it is...

I promise it does look better in real life :')

Definitely should have used those pretty pink and purple heart-shaped silicone baking cases, rather than a big rectangle, shallow, metal tray that I cooked my chips on the night before! 

Moving on from my abomination of a cake- for my birthday nan took me into Boots and said 'shop away'. Putting me in Boots' and telling me to shop away is like taking a 5 year old into an antique store and asking for their expertise on a 500 year old metal pig stature- in other words I was clueless!

But all was well as we were helped by this nice lady (by nice I mead scary, intimidating, make-up done to perfection lady) who started asking me about make-up products I did not even know existed- primer, highlighter, tints, pressed powders... At this point whilst my confidence was shrinking by the second the lady was holding back her laughter- and she did it quite well might I add. 

In the end I just said 'I don't like liquid foundation' that was it we were off, whizzing around Boots faster than Superman. And this ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls was the result of my 'Boots experience'...

So first I have this Stay Matte pressed powder, which I was told to use first on my face (to replace the liquid foundation). Now I can't tell you how good or bad this is and give a mini review as I have never used one before so I do not know- all I can say is it seems to do the job! haha








Next is this tiny little bronzer (that I thought was eye shadow) that I thought would be really dark compared to my skin but in fact if you only use a little it again seems to do the job (I can see a pattern beginning:/)










I'm not going to go through them all in detail as I think that'll be a bit boring as I know nothing about them so you can just see the rest here...
I was recommended this instead of the Bourjois chocolate looking highlighter and bronzer. It is very shimmery I must say

This is a mascara... it is a good mascara... I like this mascara.... haha

I have never been a bright lips kind of person always sticking to the clear lip glosses but this smells sooooo good and is really nice on. I probably recommend this the most.

There is a funny story behind this. The lady said to me do you moisturise your face? I say- does Soap and Glory body cream count? As I said- clueless. By now she couldn't hold back her laughter by now and gave me this little cream to use that was 3 times cheaper than the next brand! (cheapskate I know). 







Now this wasn't from Boots this was from New Look and you have to put a couple of cotes on but it is a really nice colour. I NEVER wear nail polish but I really like this and I love it on! So it has made me want to try out some new colours...

That is what I brought and it all came to just over £20! How good is that! I'm not going to become a beauty blogger any time soon as you can tell but thought I would share with you what I have got if you're not to good on make-up too!

I also joined the gym- gosh it's like a whole new me! And that's where I'm off to now.

Please leave any comments below about what make up you recommend or any thing that you would like to know from me (I can't imagine there would be)

Right, I'm off

Bye Guys

Back to College (or school or maybe even uni)

Hey Guys,

So tomorrow is Monday and if you live in the UK you will know that the clocks have gone back (or forward- I can never quite get my head around it) so getting up bright and early (probably dark) on a cold and frosty morning will be rather joyful :)

So in my last post I said about my cake that I was making and I did make it guys but I have yet to get the pictures from my mum but my next post I brownie promise(salute to all you ex-brownie scouts out there) that in my next post the cake WILL be there! But lets take this as a pre-warning... It doesn't look that appealing :/

I know this is short and sweet but i'm of to bed

Good Night

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!!

Hey Guys,

So- yes I have been bad blogger again and deserve a slap on the wrists but all you students out there should empathise with me:/ (please)

So tomorrow is my birthday and aside from the fact the title of this post is all in caps to covey excitment i'm really not that excited :')

I think as you get older you don't get as excited about your birthday- is this just me? But anyway for the past 3 years I always try (the key word here being try) to make my own birthday cake which I have done again this year.

The slight difference is it is not a cake. Yeah. So it looks like a birthday cake but in fact is a gluten and wheat free brownie mix. 

My cheap ingredients Brownie Mix (okay so I didn't make it from scratch) some chocolate that is to be melted and marshmallows, mmmm..... 

I will put a picture up tomorrow if I have the time if not then Wednesday!

Right, I am going to enjoy my last few hours of being 17! Last few hours of being a child! Aghhhh!

Bye Guys
