Why do you wear makeup? tag

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

I have a 'goodbye 2013 hello 2014' blog post coming and a 'best products 2013' also '2013 iPhone camera life' however those are taking slightly longer to prepare and write so today I'm doing the 'why I wear makeup tag'
This was created by sprinkle of glitter and beauty crush Check out their video here.  

 This tag consists of four questions, let's get started.

 

1) when did you start?  

 I started wearing makeup when I was (this is going to sound really bad) but 8, my mum is a very big makeup lover and I would always be diving on and out of her makeup bag for some lipstick or eyeshadow but I started wearing foundation (everyday) when I was about 11 because we weren't aloud it in primary school so I just wore if on weekends then. I really started getting into make up last year though like learning about finishes and pigments and all that jazz!

 


2) how do you feel without make up? 

 If you were to ask me this at the start of 2013 I would have said... 
Honestly this is again going to sound bad but I feel almost as if my face is 'dirty' without it or incomplete... 

This is so bad but I hate not wear makeup and it's the rare days rather like today that I won't wear make up and it's cold outside and all I wanna do is sleep that I feel the most depressed?? Not depressed that's the wrong word but most unhappy in myself... On that note better go put me face on! 

But now I feel like this... 
I have gotten so much better with wearing no makeup and I feel as If I could walk out the house with just a little under eye concealer and mascara on however that's still make up so you could say I'm still trying to get over the insecurities that all teenage girls go through!  

 3) what do you like about make up?

 Apart from the fact it makes me look beautiful... I love how therapeutic it is like if I've had a panic attack or I feel ill or if I have a headache which is most days, I'll sit back and let my hands and brain go wild until I create some work of art (I'm not very good at art) and I love it also shopping, shopping is a big weakness for me and swatching happens to be my most faveritest (I'm aware that's not a word) thing to do in the whole world (besides singing) I'll go into boots for about 15 minutes and I would already swatched everything by Rimmel and maybeliene!  

 4) 3 holy grail items 

 This is a hard one but I'm going to go for:      

 1- foundation, at the moment I am loving Rimmel match perfection or if you go for a more higher end version of that I like the mac studio fix fluid foundation!

2- under eye concealer because is don't sleep a lot so a little bit of erase paste under the eye is just an amazing pick me up!

3- third is obviously my essence big lash mascara which you shall hear more about when my best of 2013 goes up and I promise it will be up by the time next Christmas gets here!

I hop this post gave you a little look into my make up life and I shall see you all soon with some new yearsie things which should have gone up before this blog post but my Iphone has been left at my new years eve party so I need to go and collect it and obviously the best of 2013 is just taking a lot longer to write and I'm going to start my goodbye 2013 and hello 2014 post now! 

Bye for now my lovelies! Xxx

Kelsie's christmas corners

So tomorrow is christmas eve and I've been extremely busy but now I'm at home sat down and I've got pictures of my christmas decor, I did say this was going to be a series but who has time for that many blog posts between now and christmas?

Here are just a few of the christmas decorations in my house: 

Worst weeks:(

I'm sorry I didn't live up to all of my promises in November and now we're half way through December but I've just been feeling down.
I was planning to write a blog post about the last year however I looked back and realised actually it'd be quite depressing.
I'm sorry I can't be all happy and smiley but I can't and that's the brutal truth.

I had a few panic/ anxiety attacks in the past few week because I've been feeling stressed and basically I just forgot. It's the same with my YouTube (here) account so I am sorry about that but I will try and be better.

I'm feeling totally okay now because IT'S CHRITMAS for the next weeks I am going to try and do a series of blog posts called 'Kelsie's Christmas corners'.

Hopefully that will be up soon!
bye guys loveyou! xx

Liebster awards!

Hi lovelies!! 

So apparently I've been nominated for the Liebster Award by Jess  Now until I read her blog post today I honestly had now idea what the hell this even meant so now that I understand I can answer the questions! 

this is her blog post to explain the rules!! 

1) What is your favourite film?

The note book is my all time favourite, 

however I'm not sure if I like it because of the plot or because of Ryan Gosling, 

of corse I LOVE this film who wouldn't it's a complete mixture of perfect and sad, 

dare I say a modern day Romeo and Juliet? 

2) What was the last thing you brought?

The last thing I brought was a new Christmas Cookie Yankee Candle,

 only the BEST candle I've ever smelt in the history of mankind! 

3) Why did you start blogging?

I started blogging because I wanted a space 

where I could talk about what 

I wanted to talk about! 

4) What is your favourite shop?

Well my favourite affordable shop is definitely either Primark or Newlook 

however the shop that I would shop in if I could afford it is MAC,

 if I had the budget I'd live in MAC unfortunately though I don't, 

plus there is no MAC shop where I live so thats a bit of a bummer. 

5) If you could have anything you wanted right now what would it be? (has to be an item)

A clothing Item I'd really like is a soft, colourful, 

good quality christmas jumper, 

though I've not looked at where from yet I just know I want a christmas jumper!

6) If you were invisible for a day what would you do?

If I were invisible I'd probably would look in on somebody's life who I know doesn't have it easy because I think it would make me appreciate what I have more and it would be interesting to see different walks of life, I'd also listen in to what my friends say about me when I'm not them, or I'd raid all of the best makeup shops and nobody would be able to see me take all of my favourite things. MWHAHAHA!! 

7) What is your favourite book?

The faults in our stars, I literally laugh and cried so much at this book. I could read this book a million times over! 

8) What is your best beauty tip?

My best beauty tip is if you have redness anywhere then choose a more yellow foundation/concealer to cancel out that red! 

9) What is the song you can't stop listening to at the moment?

Story of my life- one direction. 

Do I even have to say why I love this song?

10) What is your most loved item of clothing?

Well it's not one Item of clothing but it is a type of Item of clothing, Jumpers. I live in them, even in the summer!! 

11) What is your dream job?

My dream job is to become a singer, I wouldn't really call it a job I'd more call it a passion, but if your making money I guess its a job! I love to sing and I've been singing since I was a little smally person! So if anything I'd be a singer, but I also would love to be a make up artist because I love doing makeup I find it totally relaxing and the end product is always fun. 

I have youtube account if you want to hear me sing. 

My youtube!

My questions:

1) Favourite beauty product?

2) one thing you wouldn't buy again?

3) favourite youtuber?

The Autumn/winter Tag!

Hi Lovelies!!! 
So we're just coming out of Autumn now and into the more wintery months so I'm going to do the Autumn tag but I'm changing it into Autumn winter, don't get me wrong somebody may have already done this but I've not heard about it, then again I do live under a rock. 

 1. Favourite thing about Autumn/Winter? 

Obviously it's the weather, most people say that they hate the cold miserable weather, for me it's a signal that either christmas is coming or that christmas has been, and can I just say Merry Christmas because I don't care what you say it is almost christmas!!! I love the weather because it's just so cosy and and you can chill out by the fire and it's just the best time of year. 



2. Favourite drink? 

I love sitting by the fire with a nice cup of tea however normal tea isn't as good for you as a camomile tea, to me they all taste the same but the one we buy in our house is Twinings Calming Camomile tea. 
Nice, healthy, tasty. 



3. Favourite scent/candle?  


My favourite candle scent has to be the Christmas cookie scent by Yankee Candle. This smell like christmas too me, hence the title, its just so sweet and lovely and oooh how I could just smell this all day. I have it burning now as I'm writing, my house smells like a bakery. 

4. Best lipstick? 

I'm going to say that it is impossible to choose just one and whoever made this tag is a horrible person for limiting it to just one however after hours of consideration I managed to limit myself to two, 
1. Rimmel Kate Moss- 107 (more about it here.) 
2. Avon lipstick - Red Kiss 
As you can probably tell I love any kind of red colours. 


5. Go to moisturiser? 

This will probably have to be my benefit face emulsion, more about it here. 
This has been part of my routine for a few years now and I've not had the heart to change it! 

6. Go to colours for the eyes? 

Purple, definitely purple. It makes my eyes pop and I love it, more about my favourite pallets to come! 



7. Favourite music or band/singer to listen to? 

My favourite Bands/groups who have always been and will always continue to be my favourite are One direction and Little Mix. My favourite solo artists are Becky CJ Her youtube channel , Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, Emeil Sandé and Ed Sheeran. 

9. Autumn/winter treat? 

My autumn treat is normally a lipstick or a candle or a christmas film. Theres nothing more than that to say about this question! 

10. Favourite place to be? 

My favourite place to be is sat infront of the fire with a blanket and a christmas film, in fact I'm off school ill right now doing that exact thing! 



Woohoo!! Two blog posts within three days of each other!! thats got to be a record for me right? 
I hope you liked it my lovelies, 
see you soon
bye!! 

October Favourites

Hi lovelies, 
As promised I'm here with my... 
OCTOBER FAVOURITES!!! 
In the month of october I loved quite a bit, not a huge amount but a fair bit! 

With a little sneaky Peaky at my favourite pallets! 

I'm starting with my one and only hair product which is the 
"Lusters PCJ pretty-n-silky Detangling Spray"
This stuff is amazing, especially if you have hair like mine(super thick,long and tangles again as soon as you brush it) this acts as a leave in conditioner it claims to release tangles and stops breakages, this is great if you have ombré hair because ombré hair gets dry and brittle at the ends and likes to break off, I've noticed a vast improvement in my hair since I've started using this it feels really soft a luscious! 

The next part of my favourites is skin care. 
The first product is the "GARNIER Pure Active intensive spot purifying toner" This has been a favourite of mine since the start of the summer I love it so much it just completely clears up your spots! 
More about it here.  

The next thing is the "Elizabeth Arden Eight hour cream" I really only use this only my lips because it's so nourishing and moisturising  it is the best lip balm I've ever used  I love it so much! I apply it every night and just any time my lips feel dry!





















My last skincare favourite is the "No7 beautiful skin cleansing water normal/oily" 
This is so good, It immediately makes your skin feel totally revitalised and fresh. Apply to a cotton pad or fingers wipe all over your face and BAM you're done! Simple and easy and so good for the skin. I feel like my skin feels so much better after using it and it is fairly cheep so if I were you I'd go grab a bottle! 

Next is body care: 

My first body care favourite is "Soap and Glory  sugar crush body wash in the scent sweet lime"
THIS STUFF IS AMAZING!!!! 
It just wakes me up as soon as I smell it, it is a very citrusy scent obviously it smells like limes and I could just smell this all day! It makes your skin so soft and it lasts for ages, but be careful not to get it in your eyes because trust that hurts!! 

The next thing is the "Sanex dermo pro hydrate 24 hour anti-persperant" I'm sure you're all going to be happy to know that I use deodorant this stops sweating and smells fresh one the best deodorants I've ever used! 

Now onto make up. I have a five makeup favourites in total but as I said I will be doing a separate blog post on 3 of them because they are eye shadow pallets so only to for now, but look out for that in within the next couple of months. 

So my first thing is the "Benefit Rockateur blush" this is just beautiful it's a lovely pinky browny colour with like a rose gold shimmer in it. It also looks beautiful on the eyes.  
More about it here. 

The final thing in my monthly favourites is the "Seventeen On-the-spot foundation in natural" I definitely  have noticed the difference in my skin it looks so much healthier and this foundation is lovely on, It's light not cakey and smooths onto the skin perfectly.
more about it here.
