Maybelline master sculpt and Loreal super liner
While I was in the airport on my way to Tenerife, I had a few spare hours spare and decided to use my time wisely by visiting a boots store. I didn't buy too much just two products I had wanted to try since I first heard about them. The first one was the Maybelline Master Sculpt.
I was really intrigued by this product and was dying to try it ever since I heard about it in a magazine. It has quite a bulky packaging but it's small enough to fit in your bag. The product contains a contour and a highlighter. The bronzer is really nice light brown enough to create a shard line under your check bones to enhance a shadow. I haven't been able to use the contour much because I still have a tan on my face making it hard to show up but once my normal skin colour has come back I will be using it like no tomorrow.
I do really like the highlighter part of the product probably the most. It's a nice shimmer colour that looks so pretty on underneath the eye. Another good thing about this product is that it comes with a small brush appropriate enough to contour and highlight and a small mirror.
The next product I brought was the Loreal Super Liner. As I've said before I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with eye liners, purely because I'm not that great at using them although I am getting better. I do still like the Soap and Glory Super cat liner but I thought I would push the boat out and try something new. It has a small pen like nip which enables you too draw a precise line on the eye. I did my fist eye the first time I used it and it was a bit wonky but that was probably due to the fact I can't keep my eye still. Then I did the other eye and the line was more perfect that any line I have done before.
I really like this liner and I think the more I use it the better I will get at applying it.
My fashion icons.
I've wanted to do an update of this blog post for a really long time. That's because over the last few months the people I look up to in terms of fashion has changed during that time. That's not to say I don't like the fashion icons from before, it just means that with the change of season and variates of trends out, I've looked up to different people for inspiration.
The last people I had in my fashion icons post was Laura Whitmore and Cheryl. I still absolutely love their style and choice of clothes, there are now just some others who I am really liking at the moment,
The two people I have looked up to lately for fashion advice are model Kate Moss and fashion queen Victoria Beckham. This started after I watched the documentary about the nineties and since then I've been obsessed with the nineties trend that is popular at the moment. And what better people to look to for fashion advice in the nineties than Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham.
Wherever you love her or hate her Kate Moss knows how to put an outfit together and she does with no effort at all. It's simply effortless and simple yet effective. She can do from a see-through dress to flared jeans and a leather jacket without being weird or a fashion no.
Now we move on to my next fashion icon. Victoria Beckham. Husband of David Beckham, mother of four and a career to last her a life time. Going back to the spice gilrs era, she wasn't mush of a fashion follower. Then after they split she went fashion crazy. She's now one of the worlds most recognized person in fashion and a brand to match. Her style is chic, stylish,elegant, smart and monochrome. I love the way she makes out look like she has put time and effort into it even though their simple pieces.
I want to do prom again!
On this day four years ago I had my year 11 prom. I cannot believe It's been four years! It's just absolutely crazy. I remember the day so well. I woke up feeling so excited for the night ahead and looking into my wardrobe and seeing my new dress hanging up for all to see, made me want to put it on straight away. Then there was the getting ready. My favourite part about prom. I had my hair done by a hairdresser who came to my house to make my hair look amazing. Once I was finally ready I raced over to my friends house and we all stood in the garden looking like we were about to go a film premier. We had loads of photo's taken and were just gearing up for a good night.
Prom is such a strange concept because twenty years ago there was no such thing as a prom in the UK. Now all of a sudden they have taken the country by storm and now their a natural concept to have for the end of a school year.It also gives everyone a chance to say goodbye one last time before we go out into the big wide world and go on to do great things. That could be going to college, staying for sixth forum or going to get a job.
And now tonight is my little brothers prom which is just mad as I remember when he first started school and now his finishing. Watching him and his friends really made me want to re-live my prom day and see everyone I went to school with. Just to see what everyone is up to now and re-live my school days.
So if you have a prom coming up really make sure you make the most of the day and really enjoy yourself because one minute your putting on your dress or suit the next minute its fours later and all you want to do is do it all over again. Which is what I'm feeling right now. There's no greater feeling than wearing a gorgeous dress with all your friends before you go on and do amazing things.
Tenerife 2015
On Tuesday the 23rd of June me, my mum, her boyfriend and my brother and sister all went on a one week summer holiday to the beautiful island of Tenerife. The reason why I haven't written a blog post in a while. It was such an amazing holiday. Just really nice to get a week away to just chill in the sun, by the pool getting a tan. Which to me sounds like the perfect holiday.
The hotel we stayed in was called The Marylanza. It was such a gorgeous from the outside building to the rooms inside. I sheared a room with my brother and sister and was so surprised by the generous amount of space the room provided. There was a large living area with a TV, a small kitchen area with a breakfast bar, coffee machine and kettle. Then there was a separate bedroom with two twin beds and a dressing table.
The first two days were spent just chilling by the pool, having a swim and making good use of the all inclusive food and drinks and by the end of the first day I had burnt badly. With my skin being naturally olive coloured I don't usually burn that much but this time by shoulders, forehead and nose were bright red and sore. Lets just say there was a lot of cream being put on that night.
The food in the restaurant was so so nice. There was something for everything meat, potatoes, salad and pasta. The breakfast was a complete different story. There were doughnuts, pancakes, eggs, bacon and anything else you could think of.
The Friday was then spent at a water park called Sian park. Being a bit of a wimp I didn't go on any of the rides but mu brother and sister absolutely loved it. So much we went twice.
Is it just me or does a week away just fly by? Because all of a sudden it was the last day and were were on a plane back to England. It was such a lovely holiday and just really nice to lie in the sun and relax. But there's nothing better than being back in your own bed.

my three favourite things this week
It's that time of the week again where I tell you my three most favourite things I've been loving this week so here goes.
The first thing is a song that I just can't get enough off and that's Little Mix new single Black Magic. I absolutely love this song it's so catchy, and just a fun, feel good song. I'm not a massive fan of Little Mix but some of their songs I really like. It kind of reminds me of old school pop like songs from the early naughties which is just an added bonus because the naughties was the decade I grew up in and It just takes me back to those times.
The second thing I've been loving is a TV series and that Pretty Little Liars. I know I am so far behind on this programme because I'm only on series 3 but I just can't get enough of it. I remember seeing it on MTV when it first came out but I never really took much notice of it. Then my cousin who has been watching since the very beginning convinced me to watch it and now I just can't get enough of it. I've never really found a TV series that I really like and I feel like PLL is the perfect series for me. If you've never heard of it I won't explain what it's about because I'll be here all day but watch it and see what you think.
The last thing I've been really liking is my new white heeled sandals from Newlook. There so comfy and look great in the summer with a cute summer dress. The feel is just the right size that you can wear them and walk around in them all day without your feet hurting.
The 90's
Yesterday afternoon I watched a programme that inspired me to write this post, and that was "the 90's the decade that changed the world". This was a programme that talked about events that occurred during this decade in fashion, music, TV, sport and politics. They spoke to the people that made the decade what it was such as; Oasis, Blur, kate Moss, David and Victoria Beckham and Shaun Ryder.
I'm not sure why it made me want to write about the nineties because I was only born in 1995, right in the middle so I don't remember a great deal about what happened because I was such a young age. But I was obsessed with the show and have now watched it twice over.
A lot of things happened during those ten years such as; the rise in britpop, the premier league and model of the moment Kate Moss graced her way down the fashion runway. If your not to familiar with the ninties britpop was the rivalry between the two bands, Oasis and Blur and if you don't know who Kate Moss is, she is like the nineties version of Cara Delevigne.
I think is has something to do with the fact that a lot of what was going on n the nineties has come back in terms of fashion and music (which I am absolutely loving). The high neck tops, jelly sandals and so much more.
Out of all the decades I think the nineties is my favourite just because it was the decade I was born in and the fact I could say I was around during some of the time even if I was only little a little girl.
So I thought I would pile together a few images that made the nineties one of the greatest decades.
