NEW: Working With High End Brands!

NEW:  Working With High End Brands!


I am so excited to tell you that I'll soon be working with some of the top high end brands which I cannot wait!  I know that one of the brands will be Dior and absolutely love this brand whether it's their makeup products or fragrances.  I'm also hoping to work with other brands but still not yet decided so any opinions would be amazing!

I will only start working with them after 10th of August after my holiday in Italy so I'll be trying to arrange everything as soon as possible.


The way I'm hoping it will work is myself advertising the very newest products and styles of Dior before a lot of bloggers and YouTubers which is a privilege. 
I've contacted them already and they said I'll just need to fill in an application and once that's confirmed they will be able to create a portfolio with their high resolution photos.  It sounds really cool and they have a lot of backstage events which I'll hopefully go to when I'm a bit older which they'll notify me with.  

As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts about it and any brands you think I should work with too x
I'll post again hopefully this Friday but can't guarantee.

My New Favourite Summer Scents

My New Favorite Summer Scents


I'm really sorry for such a late post but I was busy :)
Anyway, I managed to write a post about my favorite Summer scents from having a bit of test and tryout with so many different fragrances over the past weeks.  I love the different kinds  of fragrances and have a few at home.  There are so many brands out there that I have not yet tried but I tend to go from Mugler, Jimmy Choo to Dior.  
I know my mum has a Dior and Chanel No.5 perfume so I sometime spritz some on before I go to a party out!


Angel Muse £45 by Mugler
This is my absolute favorite fragrance from this Spring to this Summer.  It smells amazing and I would really think it's worth investing in one of these.  I'm not too sure why I'm crazy about it but there's something that I just love about it.
L'Eau D'Issey £30 by Issey Miyake
If I'm honest, when I first sprayed some on it wasn't a fragrance I'd fallen in love with straightaway.  But the more I used it the more I started to like it.  It has lovely notes of flower blossoms and smells of almost light honey.
Black Opium £65 by YSL
Another of my fragrances I adore.  It has a really powerful strong scent which I really like.  I think Yves Saint Laurent really do some amazing fragrances.  I have considered buying a full bottle instead of just a small sample.
Live Irresistible £40 by Givenchy
With notes of rose pink flowers and an occasional scent of fruits, I think this perfume is perfect for the Spring season day and night.  I also like wearing it for the Summer x


Be Delicious £20 by DKNY
Love the strong scent of freshness even though it doesn't really smell like anything near apples as advertised.  It's perfect for daytime - especially in the early morning!  The price is much cheaper so would be a good option to go to :)
I'de love to know your thoughts and the scents you love!

My Summer Plan

My Summer Plan 


*I'm sorry if I don't keep up to date with my posts in the Summer Holidays as I do have lots of unexpected events but I promise to still have posts being posted as much as possible.  I won't be posting from 30th July to 10th August as I'll be away in Italy*

Every Summer Holiday me and my family go on holiday as well as visiting friends from London and also Kent.  I love the Summery feeling and cannot wait for this Summer as we're visiting my relatives and having a huge picnic in the big London Park with around 15 of us sat together.  
My friends are coming round so hopefully we can all go to the Cinema and also have a sleepover!
In the later days of August I'll be going to either Dorset, Devon or Bristol with my family.


I know my family are going to Italy at the beginning of August which is my main reason why I decided to post about this on my blog :)
Hope you enjoy it!

I'll be visiting three places in Italy for 8 days.  The first place I'll be staying is Verona which I cannot wait.  I'm hoping to visit the famous balcony of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.  I think the countryside would look really pretty and I know my parents want to do a wine tasting tour!!  
I'm so excited and hopefully walking in the center of Verona will be like I imagined.


On a few of the days my family and I will be doing day trips from Verona to Lake Garda to walk around the famous Italian Lake and eating out would be so cool.  In the evenings we've planned to go to Gardaland which is a famous Italian theme park open from 6pm to 11pm!

After that we'll have a day trip to Venice instead of staying there as it'll probably be really busy.  There are so many shops in this city so that's probably the place where I'll buy my souvenirs for myself and my 4 closest friends.


The classic Italian ice creams and gelatos is something I'd love to try.  I know both of my parents said it was amazing and had so many different flavors.  Overall, we'll be staying in 3 different hotels and I know the last one is posh and expensive... xx


I'd love to know what you're up to for this Summer!
Hopefully I'll have another post or two out for this weekend.

5 Steps to Getting The Perfect Selfie

5 Steps to Getting The Perfect Selfie


Some people just seem to be naturally more photogenic than others but there are tips to look amazing.  I used to struggle a lot with this but I've gradually overcome this and it's now much easier.  

Glitter and Shimmer
I always avoid and glitter or shimmery products on my face because they don't look great in photos.  Also think about a low SPF Foundation so you don't look ghostly pale in a photo.
Beautiful Shine
I think shiny, glossy hair that reflects in light can look really pretty.  I like to use a glossing hair product which is easily sold in many drugstores and provided by many brands.  Ones from The Body Shop are really good too.


The Lighting
When taking a photo with my friends, I always look for the best lighting possible.  Using natural light is the best and only very little times do I actually use filters.
Change Your Angles
Practice taking pictures from different angles, then look at the best one and remember to use that angle in future photos.  I found my perfect one was looking slightly to the right.
Up The Eyes
By adding eye makeup it can look really nice in photos.  Avoid any eye shadows as such but add black voluminous Mascara for that definition.  Curling your lashes is also a good thing to do.  Then add black eyeliner to the corners for a kitten flick.  It honestly makes a difference and is worth trying out.
Hope my top tips help as it's helped me x

The Fitness Files: Summer

The Fitness Files: Summer


From this Summer, every season I will try to write about the fitness stuff I do weekly to help maintain a healthy lifestyle including what I eat for a post-workout.  I think it's really important to workout regularly to have clear glowing skin :)

The Song To Add On Your Playlist: "Let Her Go" by Passenger
I like this song so much and always listen to it for my 5 minute warmup to get my blood pumping around my whole body.  

The Workout Video I Love: Fitness Blender
It's not really a video but this websites is called Fitness Blender and I love it.  They have so many videos on there from warmups to 90-minute HIIT workouts.  I haven't done all of them yet but hopefully will get there soon.  The best thing though is that they are free! xx

The Drink I Like: Lucozade Pink Lemonade
I have a bottle of this nearly every time I have a HIIT workout to give me that short quick boost of energy.  



The Snack To Have For Post-Workout: Kallo Hot Paprika Rice cakes
I have one of these before I do any kind of workout as a post-workout and finish it off with a sip of Pink Lemonade.  

The Fitness Clothing To Add: Primark Sports Shoes
I love some of the designs Primark Workout do for their sports trainers.  I have ones that are green in the inside and grey on the outside.  I think they look really cool and are only £10 so not a fortune!

The Routine For August: I think I'll just be following Fitness Blender's HIIT workouts as well as practicing running as for school PE I had to run around the field a lot and over the season probably ran at least 3K.  It doesn't sound a lot to some people but I struggle a lot because of my asthma and so it makes things so much harder.  


Love to know your thoughts about your Fitness Routines in Summer xx

Makeup for Glass Wearers

Makeup for Glass Wearers 


Quite often I wear glasses myself so when wearing makeup you can't do the same without not standing out.  I have tried out different styles to help this and hopefully you will like this post.

Bold Colours
I think the bold colours should be focused on the lips because then that will be a statement to your face.  Go for a red berry shade or maybe a pink.  Save any nude shades for days when you're not wearing glasses.
Use Mascara
Having hearing that Mascara will stick to your glass lenses is rubbish and is anything but that.  Using Mascara helps to highlight your eyes really nicely.


Using Liner
The thicker your glass frames are the thicker the eyeliner line should be.  The same goes for the thin ones then you do the opposite.  This can look really nice and helps to define your eyes even when wearing glasses.
Add Shimmer
Glasses magnify your eyes a bit so adding shimmer is actually a great way for people to notice your eye makeup.  Add a bit of shimmer to the lower lid of your eyes.
Brows
Also when wearing glasses, always tint your brows and add clear gel to them so they look nice.  This helps stand out a bit more and even your face a bit.  Try shaping them to make them look better - get these done professionally!! x

Neutral Looks
Keep it simple and don't do any colorful makeup apart from your lips.  You can try adding a bit of blusher to your cheeks, but other than that keep it simple.


Hope you enjoyed this post.  Any other tips would be great to know xx

My Party-Ready Routine in 7 Steps

My Party-Ready Routine in 7 Steps


Recently, I've been out quite a lot to celebrate my relatives birthdays and also some of my friends.  I've been sticking to  a certain routine which helps me prepare for the party in just an hour without having to rush around which I often did before I set myself a routine for these particular nights!! 

Prep the Skin - 5 Minutes
I use a moisturizing cream to apply on my face and neck to keep my skin smooth and also to help apply my makeup evenly without any dry skin patches showing.  It's a good idea to also maybe have a quick face wash to get rid of any toxins which are clogged up.

Concealer - 5 Minutes
I like using Collection's Lasting Perfection Concealer as it lasts really well.  Put Concealer on any spots and red areas of your face and then blend it in.  I skip Foundation because it takes too much time and isn't necessary.

Sculpt - 10 Minutes
This can change your finishing touch on your face really well and can look really nice.  Highlight the tops of your cheekbones as well.  Any kit will do but the results are the most important.


Brows - 5 Minutes
I use Collection's Brow Kit in Brunette to quickly tint my brows and apply clear brow gel to coat the hairs.  It looks perfectly natural and are cheap.

Mascara - 5 Minutes
Use a eyelash curler and quickly curl your lashes to give that extra volume.  Then use a voluminous Mascara to get that stand-out effect.  It really does make a difference.  You can try adding some eyeliner because that also makes an even bigger difference but that will take more time so I skip that step.  
Also, don't do any eye makeup unless you know you have spare time.

Lips - 5 Minutes
Add lip balm to your lips so it moisturizes them before adding lipstick.  Vaseline is amazing and is my lip product hero.  Wait for a few seconds then apply some lipstick on.  I like to go for either a nude shade or a light berry colour.  They can look really nice.  I prefer lipstick to lip gloss - lip gloss is just too sticky for me.
Hair - 15 Minutes
The day before decide what kind of hair style you want so you don't end up spending lots of time trying to decide.  Most of the time I like using my curling wand to create a wavy look.  Be creative and try out different styles.

Clothes - 10 Minutes
Again, the day before decide what you want to wear for the party and get all the clothing, shoes and accessories out ready to wear for the night.  
These are my steps to preparing for the perfect night-out.  
How do you get ready for nights like this?  I'd love to know as always xx

My June Favourites

My June Favorites


Last year there were so many things I loved from beauty products to accessories.   I've never tried posting about my monthly favorites, but by being inspired by YouTubers I finally decided to do one x



Fave Book: Ten Things I've Learnt About Love by Sarah Butler
I love this book, basically a story about romance and family relationships.  I would recommend this as a Summer read for this year. 

Fave Snack: Kallo Hot Paprika Rice Cakes
These are really tasty and I like having 1 or 2 just before having to do a workout.  There's not much fat in them so is good for a post-snack.

Fave Scent: Angel Muse by Mugler
This is an amazing scent and I love it.  It's perfect for the Summer and adore it :)

Fave Skincare Product: Origins Deep Cleansing Mask With Green Tea and Spinach
This works really well for my skin and helps with the spots and gradually goes away.  I like to use this once a week in the weekend in the evenings just before I go to bed.   

Fave Beauty Product: Dior Forever Skin Perfecting Foundation
Out of all of them I like the liquid kind of foundation.  It works really nicely and using a foundation brush it looks so natural.  I wouldn't buy the whole bottle though considering the price is expensive.
Fave Meal: Delicious Weekend Salad
I have this salad every weekend for lunch and basically it is dressing, spinach and then topped with almonds.  I also add cucumbers, peppers and other vegetables.  It's healthy as well x

Fave Accessory: Gold Anklet by H Samuel
This looks really cute on the ankle and will be a trend for this Summer.  You can buy cheaper ones from online places.
Fave Shoes: Superga Maxmara Weekend Shoes
I find these shoes so stylish and are so versatile so I wear them with almost any clothing daily.  

Fave Hair Hero: Invisibobble Hairbands
These hairbands don't damage your hair unlike the other ones.  They are more expensive the other ones but are really worth investing in the long run. 
Fave Nail Polish: BarryM Speedy Quick Dry in Road Rage 517
The colour of this nail polish I think is really pretty and I am a big fan of anything pastel-coloured.  I have a few other pastel ones in my makeup draws.
