Things I'm loving right now!

Hello again! 

I thought I'd do another beauty post because I've been experimenting a little and I've changed things up a, so here are the things I'm loving right now! Enjoy :)

Revlon Lash Postion mascara 

I've wanted to try this mascara for a while, I've seen a few people rave about it on Instagram and I saw it on offer in Superdrug for £5 so I picked it up. It gives both volume and length, it isn't waterproof but it doesn't smudge! My eyelashes look incredible! I will definetly be repurchasing this! 

Collection Super Size Mascara

I really like this mascara, it gives me a good length, no volume but this mascara under the Revlon one I just mentioned, are a perfect match. And for just under £3, it's a bargain!

Ciate Nail Polish in 'Hoopla' 

My best friend bought me this for Christmas along with the caviar pearls. This is the best nail polish I've tried so far! It hasn't chipped for a good week! The colour is beautiful. I just love it so much! Thank you Chummy! 

Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation 

I love this foundation so much! Even though I have dry skin , it doesn't dry out my skin at all! It has high coverege, which I need at the moment. It's matte, duh Rhiannon, and it lasts all day! Love love love!

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in '006 Pink Blush' 

I love the colour, formulation and it lasts a good amount of time! I really love this lipstick basically!

Balmi Lip Balm 'Mint'

It's such a cute little thing. It's really moisturizing and smells so good! Worth the hype I think!

Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Lip Tint/Balm

So one ends a felt tip, that you apply the stain with, and the other is a balm that you apply once the stain has dried. I don't use the balm as it gives the balm a glossy finish which I don't like, but I use carmex before I apply the stain. It lasts a good few hours, and doesn't smudge or come off when I eat or drink. I got it for a pound, so I guess it's good for the price I paid.

Red Lips

I was feeling a little adventurous over the Christmas holidays, so I was rocking a red lip almost everyday. I just really liked it, I thought it was a change to my normal pink lip. It also made my teeth appear a lot whiter. I think I'll be buying brighter lip colours in future!

One Direction Midnight Memories, Little Mix Salute and Olly Murs Right Place Right Time Special Edition

Random I know, but I love these albums so much! There are some really upbeat songs on Olly Murs and One Directions' album, and some emotional songs that a lot of teenagers can relate to on Little Mix's album. I've only recently gotten into One Direction, but I was very impressed by all three artists.

Winged eyeliner

I don't have a good photo for you, but I've been enjoying winged liner. I didn't really wear eyeliner before, but I really like it now! It makes my blue eyes pop and makes them appear so much bigger and defined. I haven't found an eyeliner I love yet, but I'm sure I'll find one soon to recommend to you guys! 

I hope you enjoyed this post, and got inspired to try out a few new things! Let me know what you're loving right now! I love you all :)

'Keep Calm and Carry On'

So today I was in a really bad mood and then I was getting s**t on a Facebook status I posted (long story). Anyway, I felt really low, not my lowest, but still I just sat in my room crying. (I don't want any sympathy, I just wanted to explain why I'm writing this post).

So I'm going to give some tips on staying happy and calming yourself down after a stressful or bad day. I hope I help at least one person out there because that will make me very very happy! :) 

    There's always tomorrow. 

Even if today is really crappy and you feel like you can't go on, which I have felt many times, there's always tomorrow, there's always a fresh start, a chance to start over and wipe the slate clean! 

    You are not alone! 

I'm sure whatever you are going through is making you feel lonely, but there are other individuals in this world going through the exact same thing! You are never alone, you will always have family and friends to talk to and if you're not comfortable with talking to them write everything you feel down on paper! Or do what I do and just cry! There's nothing wrong with crying, it's human and perfectly normal, it's just your way of calming yourself. It's best to let everything out one way or another rather than keeping it all bottled up inside of you.

    Concentrate on the POSITIVE things rather than the negatives! 

Ok, you might have had the worst few years of your life, but I'm very sure that you have many times where you felt happy within yourself and were just enjoying life. In example, when I feel down, I go through my Facebook and Instagram pictures, because they remind me of all the memories I've made in a small space of time and I feel much better and know that life isn't as bad as I made out. 

(Yes these strange people are my friends and I)

   Do something you enjoy.

I personally enjoy drawing/painting and creating different makeup looks. But you can do anything you want. Just do something you enjoy, it will really calm you down and make you feel much better! 

   Listen to happy and upbeat songs.

Trust me listening to depressing songs will not make you feel any better. Although they might relate to your situation they are not going to motivate you to carry on.

Olly Murs makes loads of great 'feel good' tunes. Just saying. ;) 

   Have a bath. 

Or a shower if you're a shower person, but the steam from the hot water and the scent of your bubble bath or bath bomb will calm you down. Apparently lavender is a really good calming scent but I don't really like it, just go with whatever floats your boat. I definetly recommend Lush bath bombs and bubble bar's, they have a good selection of scents and they make your skin really soft. And it's really fun watching the bath bombs fizz away. (Let me know if you want a lush favourites post)

    Watch some films.

I'm having my best friend over tomorrow to watch some DVDs I got for Christmas. It can be a rom-com, comedy, scary, whatever you prefer.

   Post inspirational quotes around your room. 

I have a cork board in my room that I post a few quotes on and when I'm having a bad day reading those quotes make me feel a lot better. All you need is to google some and them write them down on a piece of card or paper and voila. And make sure you put up a few pictures of you and friends or family too! 

So that's all I've got right now, but if I come up with some other ideas I might do another post on this subject, or if you have any other things similar to this you'd like me to write about please contact me. I really hope I helped at least one person, and made you feel much better about yourself, the situation you're in and about your life. Life is unpredictable and we must get on with it all. But even if you are in a big dark hole, everything will get better and you won't be sad anymore. There will be some one to take all the sadness and pain away. 

But please remember to smile and be nice to people, because you don't know what is going on their life. Even the smallest thing like a smile can brighten someone's day. 

I'm going to stop rambling now! 

 Stay Strong <3 

P.s I'm starting a Youtube channel if my own based on beauty some time this month! So look out for that!
