Beauty And The Band

hi all! i thought i would do a skincare routine, as i found when i was slightly younger, al the products the beauty you tubers used, were pretty damn expensive. all of my skincare at the moment can be found in a drugstore, minus a few extra bits that i like to use on occasion when i feel like i need it. starting off with a day I'm wearing makeup, i use the No7 Makeup wipes, this i use to take off all my face makeup, and as much of my eye makeup as possible. for wipes £7 is a lot of money,  so life hack!  when boots have the £2 off makeup and £5 off skincare vouchers, USE THEM! you can use the £5 off on their makeup wipes and they're only £2! i tend to stock up on them when i can get them cheaper while that offer is on. after this, i use soap and glory Face soap and Clarity face wash . this has micro beads in it, and i use that all over my face to get any shit out. this stuff leaves your skin feeling so damn soft!! as for cleanser, i tend to use whateve...

hi all! this is no way associated with SHEIN, however i damn wish it was. this is purely just a fashion lover with an addiction to spending more money that she should on clothes and makeup, buying more clothes. i hope you guys enjoy! just for references, i'm a 14 in most tops (got big boobies) and a 12 on bottoms.  also a size 6 shoe if anyone wants to buy me shit. now, though i know myself, i am not plus size.. but with some of the clothing items on sheen they don't always fit nicely in their regular sizes. also a lot of the clothes i enjoy wearing are on an oversized vibe.. thats just my style and how i enjoy wearing my clothes. now i am aware...  i have a severe lack of t-shirts, and any kind of clothing for my top half in my wardrobe. in september i had a huge purge of all of my clothes, just to get rid of all the rubbish i knew i wouldn't wear again. i am gradually making my way around and starting to fill the wardrobe again, but with items tha...

Hi guys!! here is a quick tutorial on this second eye look made with the violet voss holy grail palette. i love how this look came out! i found the colours were so vibrant and came out amazingly. the duo chrome shade i used on the lid also reflects nicely in the sunlight. 1. to start off this look, draw your eyebrows and carve them out, then add your eyeshadow base and set with thanks a latte 2. using the shade crystal, apply to the brow bone. 3. using the shade transition, apply into the crease and up towards the brow bone. slightly blend out the shade crystal to avoid any harsh lines. 4. using the shade wine and dine, apply to both the inner and outer corners, packing it on and then blending in the crease to create the halo look. 5.using the shade teddy bear on a smaller blending brush, apply this on the inner and outer corners of the lid to add some depth, and then blend this lightly into the crease, but not as far as wine n dine. 6. take your concealer or eyes...

hi guys! here is a mini tutorial blog post telling you all how i created this look. 1. do either your face or brows, i like to do my brows before my base so i can carve them out. 2. using the shade transition, apply along the crease and up towards the brow bone. 3. using crystal apply on the brow bone, and go back with transition to soften. 4. using the shade r u kitten me, apply more towards the crease, only going above slightly. 5. take wine n dine on a blending brush and apply more directly into the crease and along towards the inner corner creating a round shape 6. taking the shade teddy bear, apply lightly to the outer corner and slightly into the crease, just to add some depth. 7. take a concealer of choice, and carve out from the inner corner half way into your eye. 8. blend the concealer to create a smooth transition, and use thanks a latte to set the concealer in place. 9. using a mixture o...

hi everyone! this is a quick review on the Violet Voss Holy Grail palette. though this palette has been around for some time and has already made its way through to being a cult classic. there is nothing in this review that could say otherwise. the pigment oh the pigment! is actually more than phenomenal. there is a perfect mixture between matte shades and shimmer shades, the shimmers have a range of finishes and the mattes are creamy and smooth..  the ONLY thing that i wish, is that there was a lighter red / pink than 'Wine N Dine'  but I'm not too bothered i can work with what i have. mine is well loved already for the whole two days and several looks i had been dying to create. these will come in a later blog post where i show you guys how to recreate them!! woot woot. time for the swatches! i think its fair to say the pigment is next level.. here are a few pictures of looks i have done with this palette so far. and for...

hi all. i always forget how difficult juggling multiple things at once until reality hits again. after a lovely easter break which has ultimately ended in me getting a cold (as usual), getting back into the swing of 'regular' life is proving difficult. you may have thought coming to the end of my second year at university i would have learned my lesson to not leave my work to last minute, or at least get some structure into my life. but no. thats not for me. university is hard f u c k i n g work.  but thats how its always going to be. and next year will only get worse. when you get to this point of life i guess you can say, you start to realise how much you took for granted. balancing a boyfriend, work, friends, university, alone time is always going to be difficult. and finding things to do after you finish university, or what you're going to do for the summer and where you will be living next year or what you will be doing causes a million and one thoughts...
