Hey Everyone!

So the other day +Bryony Todd   commented saying that she had nominated me for a Leivster award which i thought was incredibly nice since i'm new here and not a lot of people know about my blog. Thnaks so much for that Bryony!

So here are the rules of the award:

4. Go to their page and tell them about their nomination. 

So here are the questions given to me by +Bryony Todd 

1. 3 holy grail beauty products that you cant live without.

First one would be my maybeline falsies mascara

Second one would be my NARS Sheer Glow foundation

Thirdly my Rimmel Stay Matte powder

2. Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush?

Thats hard probably obvious foundation line just because i really dislike overdone blush because it can look silly

3.  In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line? and why?

Thats such a hard one. Probably NARS just because i think their makeup suits a lot of people and it has natural and intense products. 

4. Are you a spender or a saver?

 I'm probably a spender even though i do feel bad when i spend a lot of money haha.

5. Your dream vacation?

My dream vacation would be to the Bahamas or Greece, i can't decide i'v always liked the idea of both

6. What items do you most like to receive as gifts? 

I love receiving shower and bath products because i don't buy a lot of them for myslef (I usually spend the money on makeup) but i love being able to try new products in the bath or shower

7. Your current foundation?

I have 2. I used Rimmel wake me up foundation on weekdays because its affordable and NARS Sheer Glow foundation in Mont Blanc on weekends because i don't want to waste it :)

8. If you had any, what was your new years resolutions?

I had 2 and i followed through with them they were a bit silly but the first one was to only have one sugar in my tea instead of two and to drink more water

9. A beauty secret you think every one should know.

I don't know if people aren't aware of this but if you have gel eye liner and it starts to go dry, mix in a small amount of vaseline and it will fix it :)

10.  Last Years Biggest Challenge?

How to deal with stress and Anxiety

Hey Everyone!

So i thought i would bring up this topic because especially during the school term a lot of people get really stressed and anxious and i know i have been feeling the same way. It hard to understand what is going on and why you can just switch it off and for everything to be over, but here are the best way (for me) to deal with anxiety and stress and i hope they help you

1. Sit down Breath and be calm- this really helps you analyse the situation and be able to look at the bigger picture of things. Just think is this really going to affect me in the future, and most of the time it probably won't.

2. Have some tea or water- this will calm your nerves and help you to relax

3. Look at the situation and ask yourself, What the worst that could happen?- this will help you understand that its not a big deal and EVERYTHING WILL BE OK!!!

4. Smile and Laugh- Endorphins will begin to kick in and they will make you happier and less stressed and upset

5. TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT IT!- I can't stress this enough its so important to just let it all out and you will feel so much better in the end because someone will be able to reassure you and help you get through it

6. Have something to look forward to- A holiday, the weekend anything. It'll make you think that once its the weekend or your on your holiday you won't hav to think about it and all your worries will be gone!

Just tackle things head on! Finish your exam! Confront that person! Let people know how your feeling! What ever it is JSUT DO IT!!!  It'll make you feel so much better and you will get it over and done with and out of the way!

 YOU CAN DO ANYTHING! JUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! It sounds corner but when your at your worst remember these things and realise that its not a big deal, you can do it!

I BELIEVE IN EVERYONE! AND SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE!

Guys seriously forget about stress it only brings you down! Forget about bullies and horrible people they will only bring you down! RISE ABOVE IT!!!

Please let me know your feedback in the comments xox

Fashion Weekend HAUL!!!

Hello everyone!!!

On the weekend just passed i attended Fashion Weekend, which was fabulous! I went with one of my friends and we had such a good time.

For those of you who don't know what fashion weekend is, basically what happens is that over 4 days (Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday) an event is held for anyone to attend and basically you buy your tickets and turn up whatever time you wish then you can attend fashion shows and afterwards they have heaps of designers selling affordable clothes, shoes, skincare, makeup and accessories!

So i got there on Saturday and had booked tickets for an 11:00 fashion show. We arrived at about 10:15 and pottered around to see what designers were there and what kind of things we wanted to do once we had attended the fashion show. At 11:00 we sat in our seats and watch the catwalk. Some of the designers included Nicola Fenetti, Ginger & Smart and about 5 others.

After the fashion show had finished we went to the napoleon makeup hub where you could get your makeup done for $40 then redeem it in products which i did and it was really fun and interesting to see what products etc. they used on my skin. The guy who did my makeup asked about my skin type, what sort of coverage i wanted and what kind of makeup i wanted. I asked for a medium coverage makeup with a natural smokey eye and a colourful lip. He put on a really great foundation followed by concealer etc. and her used maroons and browns on my eyes which looked really good. Then he asked if i wanted lipstick, lipgloss or both and i ask for lipstick so he put on the gorgeous orange/red lipstick that was just incredible!

**For the products i bought, because it was at fashion weekend the prices were discounted therefore they may not be availble for the same price.**

I bought quite a fair bit on makeup at the Napoleon makeup hub and a few pieces of clothing:

- Napoleon  Perdis Lipstick, in the colour Noosa. This is the one the makeup artist applied and i just adore it! It doesn't dry out the lips and stay for a long time so its good for an everyday or evening lip. Its like an orange/red and its bright which is really fun!

- Napoleon Perdis Bronze set, in the colour baked powder.  I find it really ahrd finding the perfect bronzer for my skin because my skin is really fair but this one is perfect because it is matte and doesn't gon on heavy so it really easy to build up. It gives a really natural broze and is also good for contouring.

- Napoleon Perdis Champagne set palette. He used a few of the eye shadows in this pallette on me and i really liked them. They are nicely pigmented and theres a good variety of products in there. It has eyeshadow, blush, lipgloss and a few small brushes

- Napoleon Perdis Shimmer highlight duo in the colours bronze/gold. I got this set for spending over $60 and its actually really nice. Because the colour look so profound i thought it would be really over the top but the colours are really subtle and give a really nice highlight when applying this to the cheek and brow bone.

- Otto Mode Beige dress. I thought this dress was a bit dull when i first saw it but the style and cut was really cute so i tried it on, at the time i had a gold necklace and it looked really nice so i thought i could always jazz it up with some colour or cute accessories. It fits really nicely and would be good for spring or autumn with a coast

- Sage black skirt. This is such a cute skirt. It wouldn't normally be something i could be hunting for but i saw it and thought it had a really nice shape and cut and it fitted really nicely. When i am going to america for part of my trip i am going with school and i am restricted in what i can wear so i thought this would be good to wear fro that and also any other time.

- Sage Blouse. My friend saw this blouse but it wasn't her size so she gave it to me to try on and it fitted really nicely and i thought the colours were really good for everyday. I love this style blouse and will definitely wear this a lot.

- Sage shoulder bag in brown/tan/ I love this bag! I really wanted to get a nice shoulder bag while i was at fashion weekend and i thought this would be perfect because its a really versatile colour and have heaps of space inside. I don't own any shoulder bags that are suitable so i think this one will be great for everyday.

- Gingham & Heels disco pants. I was so glad i found a pair of these normally at american apparell they have the same ones for $80 but i got these for $20 which is amazing! as i was waiting for the change room i was getting so nervous they wouldn't fit because they were the last pair, but they are amazing and are perfect length and everything!

So that is all i got from fashion weekend! I had the best time and can't wait until next year!!

HELLO EVERYBODY!

Well, it has been to long and i deeply apologise for not writing a blog post sooner, but his one should be good!

Ok so i have been on holidays recently and i have made quite a few purchases! So lets get to it!

First off i bought a new pair of high waisted skinny blue jeans from basement in myers and they are riders by Lee. I have always wanted a pair of skinny high waisted jeans and i love then they look really nice on and are super comfortable :) They were $90. Which isn't to bad considered the price of other jeans

Secondly i bought a black skater skirt by MinkPink from David Jones. I don't have a lot of skater skirts and since its coming up to winter i thought it would be good to wear with boots and woollen socks or in spring/ summer with converse or loafers :) It was $30 and is sort of a velvet/denim material

I also purchase with the skirt a cream T-shirt  from MinkPink in David Jones which cost me $20. I feel like T-shirts these days are super expensive for what they are and i didn't think this one was too bad. Its super soft and really comfortable to wear :).

The next thing i bought was a black dress with white cut out in the top part. I got this from Dotti and its super comfortable and fits really nicely. It has a gorgeous back and i feel like its quite classy and sophisticated. This cost $50 and i wore it the other night which some black heels and it looked really cute.

From Forever New i got on sale a black T-shirt that is longer at the back and has a chiffon extension on it. I haven't worm it yet but i would probably wear it with leggings and boots or jeans. This cost me $13 and its really comfortable.

Next i got a cute Tank top with a print of Bambi on the front. It super cute a really easy to wear. I got this in target, i don't normally go there but i was buying some gym clothes and saw this and thought it was really nice. I wore it with shorts, my high waisted jeans and a skirt :) this cost me $20.

Now onto my makeup purchases. I have a hell of a lot of makeup for a 16 year old girl and thought it would be good to add some more to my collection. So here we go!!!

First off i went into MAC (YAY! First MAC purchase) and i went straight to the lipsticks and stood there for a good 20 minutes with my friend trying to find the ideal colour so i got a bright pink/ magenta colour called lickable its similar to their other colour called girl about town but wasn't as bright. they have some great colours out at the moment but i thought it would be good to make my first purchase a fun and bright colour :)

Secondly i was in the city and went into a makeup store called gloss they have really affordable makeup. I wouldn't recommend it for foundation or anything like that but eyeshadow and lipsticks are good they are quite cheap so i guess you get what you pay really haha. so i got 4 items from there:

- I got BYS Lipliner pencil in the colour red #09- i have worn red lipsticks before and have found it have to apply without a brush so i wanted to get lipliner to ensure it stays on longer and gives a sharper line. this cost $7

- I also bought an eyelash curler, i've never had one and my friend was encouraging me to get one so i did. Its pretty good but not essential it make your lashes seem more full. This cost $4

- Thirdly, i got BYS eyeshadow, small palette of 5 colours so its really good when travelling. It called Metallic Natural Glam and has some super nice natural colours. this cost $6

- Finally from gloss i got a BYS bronzer. I have really pale skin so when i wear bronzer it can make my skin look really weird and orange so i never normally wear it. It is called #02 bronzer w sun- copper. and its pretty good so far this cost $8

Ok so while i was in the city i poped in TOPSHOP! i went to their makeup section and was a bit underwhelmed but it is still lovely, there things are quite expensive but i wanted to get something cause i don't normally go in there so i got a nail polish in the colour high voltage and it cost $10. I had just ha a manicure and wanted to fix up some of the spots i chipped and this matched really well.

Finally i went away last week and needed a new makeup bag so i went to priceline and got a really nice black makeup bag to fit everything in. It cost $20 and i love it . I has a hanger in it so your can hang it in your Wardrobe or but some essentials in your locker and hang it up or whatever works for you.

Ok so thats everything hope you like it sorry it took me a while to write a new post but i'll tyr harder to write more frequently. So this year i have a few things coming up that i'm going to blog about and do hauls on which are:
- Fashion Weekend in late May
- I'm going to America in june/july so big haul there
- IMATS which is the international makeup artist trade show in sydney (Darling Harbour to be exact) i'm really looking froward to it, this is my first year going and can't wait!

Thanks for reading guys! Lots of love and Kepping Dreaming xox
