Going back to my favorite day of 2014

In early December of 2014 my college class took a trip to Clothes Show Live in Birmingham. Growing up in a small village and the biggest city I've been to was always Belfast going to Birmingham was a big deal. Clothes Show live was held in the NEC.
We decided to fly over which if I ever go again i will NOT do simply because when flying there is so much security with makeup and to much stuff so no one could buy a lot because of that but i will definitely go by ferry next year.

It was honestly one of my favorite days ever, the atmosphere, the shopping, the fashion show, everyone dressed perfectly, it was great. I honestly was not expecting it to be anything like it turned out to be.

If you are thinking on going DO! I didn't take much money with me as I was not expecting everything to be so cheap, we went on the last day of the week so by the end of the day everything was 10x cheaper than earlier that day when we arrived and the rest of the week so that's also something to think about, you see and meet all kinds of people and it really shows you that everyone is different not two people are the same, yes yous may be alike, a lot maybe but NEVER the same.

If you are a Fashion Student or thinking of becoming a Fashion Student or working in the industry you really should go, there is amazing stalls which have Fashion work from university's in England, it really opens your eyes to what it will be like. you get to ask questions even stupid ones that you wouldn't ask someone you know because your there one day your never going to see that person again, I asked a lot of questions and found out a lot about going on to university and i also got amazing inspiration for my college work this year.

In middle of the shopping (stalls) they had a little stage which me and my friends found at the last minute, there was a small fashion show currently happening (well it was ending) then they announced that two of my favorite Youtubers are about to come on stage ...
Mazzi Maz and Andy Samuels,


I also got to met Amy Childs, Jamie Laing and Ricky Rayment.






I honestly had so much fun and even though I left my house at 7am traveled 2 hours to the boat I wasn't tired one bit (until the plane of course)

In conclusion i had the best day and I HIGHLY recommend EVERYONE to go! you wont regret it! 
Here is some more random pictures from the day

Ulster Museum

Hey guys, I attended the Ulster Museum in Botanic, Belfast on 18th of December with my college class. I didn't think this would be an interesting post until I found the pictures on my phone again and couldn't miss sharing how unbelievably beautiful Botanic Gardens and the Botanic Area actually is.

That day was the first time I've ever been in Botanic and to be honest i'm so glad I decided to go, I arrived at the Museum 45 mins before everyone else so I decided to take a walk around the Gardens, I've never felt so happy and relaxed as I was that one morning. I didn't know what to expect when I thought of the Gardens but it was 100% better than I ever imagined.
The Ulster Museum is such a good place to go if you live in Northern Ireland. You don't want to miss it.
Here is some beautiful pictures from the Museum and the Gardens.












I decided it would be super run to walk back to City Center with my friend, although we ended up getting a bus because it was rain extremely heavy. We decided to go charity shopping and we both got a lot of stuff, i'm super glad that we did as the charity shops in Botanic are 100x better than City Center. I have always wanted to go to a charity shop called the Rusty Zip it is well known in Belfast, it is honestly the best charity shop I've been to, ever!!

Happy New Year

Its officially 2015, I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and Santa visited you all!!

I didn't do much on Christmas day other than send it with family so I've decided to post about my outfit and makeup. 

I have been obsessing over white with red lately so I thought why not put them together, I paired these beauitful Primark straight leg pants with my go to red strappy heels also from Primark, I didn't want to go for the white on white look so I went for this off white over sized jumper which my mothers. I kept my hair, makeup and jewellery simple with my everyday straight hair and this unbelievably beautiful necklace from The Bradford Exchange along with my Sekonda watch i received as a present two years ago.  


 I kept my Makeup very simple by using the Rimmel London Match Perfection in Classic Beige all my over face, I then used Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer under my eyes to cover my under eye circles, I went on to used my Elf Complete Coverage Concealer palette to cover any blemishes along with my birthmark on my face, using the maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder in Classic Ivory I pressed it all over my face with a large powder brush.
To try and fix my terrible eyebrows I used the Rimmel London Eyebrow Pencil in 002 Hazel all over the eyebrow to get the shape I wanted then I went in with W7 Eyebrow Dust and filled them in with my kelly brooke double sized brush to the shape I was happy with, once i got them how I liked I used my Elf Concealer again with a small angled brush from my Ebay brush set to fix any mistake and clean p the lines, I then finished my Brows with the Technic Brow Gel in light brown to keep them in place all day.
After my eyebrows were on point i used the Bourjois Bronzing Powder in shade Peaux Claires 51 to contour my nose, cheek bones, temples and jaw line I then blended it with my foundation brush i used earlier that day for my base, for blush i used W7 blush in Tawny on the apple of my cheeks to bring some colour back into my face.
For my eyes i kept it very nude and warm toned by using the MUA Undressed Eyeshadow Palette shade 5 in my crease using a large blending brush, then using the same brush, I used my large eyeshadow palette from Ebay using a dark brown I blended it into my crease for a darker brown shade, for eyelashes I applied a light coat of Benefit They're Real mascara then i used my go to lashes by Red Cherry #217 ( I recommend these lashes if you don't like dramatic lashes or have small eyelids like me).
For my lips I used the pretty:smile lip liner in nude along with MUA shade 11 lipstick and Rimmel London Apocalips lipgloss in 600 Nude Eclipse in the center of my lips to make them look fuller,
to finish my makeup i applied Technic High lights highlighter to the top of my cheek bones, down the bridge of my nose, cupids bow and at the arch of my eyebrows.
