My Top 10 Shoes

Hello my lovelies, hope you're all having a blessed week and enjoying life wherever you are

I was having a rummage through my stuff and I realised that I have way too many shoes/trainers....as in a stupid amount...maybe not as bad as my sister but it's pretty embarrassing...the worst part is I think I only wear the same 5 pairs of shoes/courts/trainers on rotation....which led me to this top 10 list of my shoesicles (and trainers/courts)....."Why have a list of 10 if you only wear 5??" I hear you ask.
.......Because some of the others need to feel loved too...

So, without further ado....*DRUMROLL PLEASSSSEEEE*

Just in case you are wondering why there are no heels here it is because in all honesty I think I own about 3 1/2 pairs of heels (one went missing)...and that is purely because I just can't walk in them...if I could walk in heels without looking like a dude with a broken ankle then I would but I don't see that happening any time soon...maybe I'll start practising around my house.......maybe.

Hope you liked my list anyway, what's your favourite?

Simple 2 Minute Summer Make-Up Looks

Oh haaii guyss....So, feeling full of energy after starting work at 7am with pretty much zero hours sleep, was supposed to nap when I got in but my neighbours are having a nice ol' shindig outside (it sounds really fun, not even being sarcastic either)so I thought I'd do a nice make-up post.
The weather has been pretty epic over the past few days so thought as well make it a Summer orientated post; also, it's so hot I doubt anyone will want to smother themselves in heaps of ye olde make-ups so I tried not to go OTT. 

Here are a few simple looks that took about 2 minutes each (true story bro...maybe if I can discipline myself enough with this blog I'll make a video of my everyday routine) 

Start off with  blank canvas

Products used: 1. Collection 2000 Cream Puff #3 - Fairy Cake
                           2.L'oreal Paris Super Liner Carbon Gloss - Black
                           3. Bourjois Liner Effect Mascara (I didn't actually use this in the end but it was already in the shot)
                          4. L'Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes- Extra Black
                          5. No7 Metallic Eye Pencil #4 - Gold
                          6. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick #477 - Black Cherry
                          7.  Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner #018 - Addiction
                          8. Rimmel Exaggrate Lip Liner #063 - Eastend Snob
                          9. Sleek Divine Eyeshadow palette #594 - The Original 
(I also used a Barry M Lip Paint #54 - Peach, but that was last minute so I didn't take a pic) 




Look 1: "Barely there": Everyday look
Products used: 1, 4, 5, 3

Look 2: "Doll eyes": Pretty much the same as barely there but more emphasis on the eyes


Products used: 1, 4, 5, 7, Barry M #54

Look 3: "Cherry": More dramatic but can still wear everyday, or if you're going to a festival


Products used: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6

Look 4: "Go Green": Ok this look was actually me messing about but it kind of worked, might do another post with eye looks using my sleek palettes at some point


Products used: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9

Hope ya'll like these looks, sorry for the ridiculously cheesy names for them, thought it was a good idea at the time...starting to think otherwise....Do you have a favourite look?

Do You Sometimes Just Want To Give Up???

Ok, this post is completely random and unplanned but I've just been doing some thinking recently and thought I may as well document it....don't worry, this isn't going to be an essay.....

or is it....

no seriously, it won't be...I need to stop using this frickin trollface but it just brings me so much joy

Anyway.... cutting to the chase here...

I just wanted to say, whatever you do, have faith....I'm not talking specifically about religion here... I just mean have faith, have faith in your goals, have faith in your dreams, have faith in your destiny, have faith in your beliefs, have faith in yourself...it is so easy to want to give up, to throw in the towel, to end it all; but I truly believe that we were all made for a purpose. Life can feel so empty sometimes, friends betray you, people leave you, you're not getting to where you would like to be quick enough, lack of confidence etc and it feels like you will be in the same dark place forever but you will get through it; just trust yourself and your purpose.... 

I hope this can help at least one person out there that feels like giving up, that's one of the main reasons I started this blog, if I can help someone somewhere I'll be happy...don't even need comments or anything, if you've had a gander at this post and it has made you feel a little better than that's good enough for me... just remember, your pain is temporary and there are so many good things waiting to happen in your life <3

Take care xxxx 


and just.........
Smile :-)
