TOP TIPS TO PREVENT ANCE

 Hey guys, I don't have bad acne but I do however get it on my chin, forehead and sometimes on my cheeks. the things that helped me clear mine was...


1: Washing my face daily, I know that sound basic but some people miss out on this especially mornings and younger girls who don;t realise how much it helps, I use a facial scrub every night and morning. 


2: DRINK LOTS OF WATER!! Trust me on this one what you drink and eat will show in your hair,nails and skin. Want your hair to grow longer? drink water. Want your nails to grow? drink water. Want perfect skin? drink water.


3: Wash make brushes daily, Always wash your foudation brushes and beauty blenders everyday so your not spreading bacteria around your face the next day.


4: Change your pillow cases, Changing your pillow cases every second day to a week so your not sleeping in dust and bacteria.


5: Don't trust all spot treatments, Not all spot treatments work on everyone, ive had some that made my acne worse so don't trust the label.


6: DON'T STRESS, you will break out, trust me here peeps.


7: Don't pick: Picking your spots will cause them to basically get angry as hell an spread.


8: Wash your hands: I know its some basic shit but wash your hands as often as possible and also avoid touching your face a lot throughout the day as bacteria will go from your hands to face.

Lush Grease Lightening Review

 Hey, yesterday was my first ever time trying anything from Lush, crazy I know. 
I picked up the Grease Lightening spot treatment and the FACEMASK which I only got a sample of as I wasn't sure if I would like it. 


As my spots have been getting worse I used both last night. My forehead and chin is most prone to spots, it's always been like that.. Here is a before picture 

Before I applied the spot treatments  I removed my makeup with my normal routine which is the Nivea 2 in 1 Cleanser & Toner
 
Once applied all over the face and eyes I removed it with a babywipe. I then go to the bathroom and wash my hands and applied the Clean & Clear Advance Spot Control Treatment which I've only started using and am not sure how I feel about it 

After I cleanse I then applied the FACEMASK with clean fingers to my stop prone areas 

When washed off I applied the Grease Lightening to my chin and forehead and applied my daily moisturiser which is the Loreal skin perfection to areas I didn't use the Grease Lighting on as if you put a product below the spot treatment it will work as a barrier. The next working I then washed my face and I didn't see any different and I had got a new spot which wasn't there the night before, although it has only been one night, people told me you will see a difference in the morning but I never, my chin looked worse in my opinion! 
I am going to keep using the Grease Lightening for a few months and I will then do a update.

PLUS size shopping

Hey girls!

Shopping on the mainstreet is close to impossible when your big when I say plus size I don't mean what Vouge calls plus size I mean 18 + I am a size 20 UK I Mostly shop in primark as I love cheap clothes! I also love charity shops and definitely the chartity shops with the size on the coat hinger so then you don't go getting your hopes up on that beautiful size 8 dress you like! 

Online I shop on easybe  , boohoo plus  asos curve. All these stores go up to a 24 and easybe goes higher! I also like Evans and Doherty Perkins as they have classy outfits with big sizes but cheap prices!

That is just some of my favourite plus size shops!

My First Car

I just turned 17 their on the 1st of June so my dad got me car. I knew for months I was getting one but just didnt know when, we originally wanted someone diesel and old fashioned that's the way I like my cars but anything I liked was to hard on insurance, so when I seen this car I fell I love, I know it isn't old fashioned and it isn't something I would normally pick, but it is black kind off, the bits of red on the doorhandles, inside, and wing mirrors just add to it I think anyway. It is petrol and very very small, its a little "city car" I was lucky enough that it already had black windows tinted and meant I only have to do the front in the future. I love this little car and suprisly it is very easy to drive, I learnt to drive in a 2001 farm jeep with 2.8 liter engine to then go to a 1.0 liltre was a bit of a differance but its okay.

Maintaining Blonde Hair

JHey guys, I know its been a long time I am sorry. Its been a few months since I've been blonde and I thought it would be a good idea to tell you's how I maintain it because being blonde is a full time job, it is very very hard work, and extremely drying on my hair.

Going blonde is the first I've died my hair and I've only had it died twice, I went blonde in one sitting without bleach (see last post) I then went back to go grey but ended up not liking it... as it was a little purple from the products used and wasn't the color I had in my mind.
After I washed it out with regular shampoo for 2 weeks it went this beautiful color...



How I maintain it this color is just by shampoo alone, I use the Touch Of Silver twice a week shampoo as I only wash my hair 2/3 times a week, on the bottle it says to leave on for 5mins but I normally would leave it on for 15 as I forget about it. it doesn't leave my hair purple at all it just takes all the yellow out. This is all I use on my hair as I am lucky enough to have good hair naturally.

IM NOW A BLONDIE

Hey guys, just a very quick little post to say I finally went blonde!

I have wanted to dye my hair for 5/6 years but was never aloud now I finally had the money and time i decided to go for it, It only took one sitting as my hair is naturally blonde, I love the colour although I miss my natural hair but it's to late now 

Ps, I never realised how hard it is to change your makeup from darker to lighter hair 😮 getting rid of my dark brows was the hardest. Hopefully the makeup approves.

Hope yous like it!

Little Black dress

Hey guys, last night me and my best friend decided to go out, its been a while for me (it was well needed)
A girl we both knew was holding a fun-raiser for Women's Aid and Children's Heartbeat in our local pub, even though early that day we had bad snow and were snowed in (it was cancelled) then on again, then people starting pulling out it ended up just being me and my best friend. It was a brilliant night with great music and everyone having a good time.

I decided to keep my outfit extremely simple with this beautiful black dress from New Look sale for only £5 around 2 years ago, it is my serious go to dress. Now that I study Fashion and can take in and up garments i decided to take this dress in as it was to big around the bum and thighs now it is perfect.
I kept it simple by pairing these gorgeous nude heels with Primark for £1 last year (the most comfortable shoes in the world) and kept jewelry simple with a gold watch.

I done my hair in rollers to create this glamours vintage hair, i used 8 Large Primark Velcro rollers on the top and sides of my head for more volume and used around 10 medium & small Velcro rollers mixed getting any left hair. I had them in from 1pm to 8pm and it held all night with the help of hairspray.






For my makeup i decided to do a purple and pink smokey eye with dramatic winged eyeliner, bringing the eyes together with the Red Cherry Lashes in Wispy. I kept everything else simple with nude lips, skin coloured blush with a hint of dark peach.
