Whats in my make-up bag

I've recently bought a Primer for my make-up so whilst reviewing it I thought I would share my day to day 'look'. I don't particularly wear that much make-up if i'm honest but always after a long day at college or work my make-up never looks as good as when I left my house on the morning. I've just bought the Rimmel London, Lasting Finish Primer, around £4.00 and it really does do the trick. Yesterday I checked my make-up around lunch and also when I arrived home, around 6pm and it was pretty much perfect as when I applied it. You don't need much primer at all just a small amount to cover the full surface of your face. I apply it before my make-up but you can apply it after.

19 and counting

So i'm 19 now and I had so many good plans for my birthday but I ended up being ill, absolute nightmare. I was meant to go out with the college girls, go to a fashion show and get my new tattoo, instead I laid on the couch for four days straight. Although the few days around my birthday weren't as I planned I got some lovely presents off friends and family and thought I'd share them with you lovely lot. I mainly got money which I am so thankful for but my main present off my parents were my Vivienne Westwood, Melissa Jelly shoes. I'm totally not normally a dolly shoe kind of person but Viv is my favourite and I love them, although they make my feet sweat like mad, sorry if thats too much detail.

Birds of Paradise: Plumes of feathers in fashion

Today I visited the Bowes Museum to see the Birds of Paradise exhibition as I am currently looking at Birds for my final major project at college. I've never actually visited the Bowes before and wow the building is absolutely amazing, so much bigger in person than in photographs. The exhibition is on the second floor in the Fashion and Textiles gallery. The exhibition addresses aspects such as refinement, luxury, freedom, modernism, femininity, lightness but also themes like lost innocence and black romance.

Benefit Roller lash mascara review

I ordered this lovely product as one of my valentines presents and it finally came yesterday. Its not out in stores till 26th Feb, I think but its available online on the benefit website. It is £19.50 and £4.00 packaging. The most I normally spend on mascara is around £10-£12, I normally use Rimmel London Retro Glam but lately my eye lashes have been a nightmare. They cross in front of each other, they're in my eye line and I kind of have this thing with my hands, if i'm bored and have nothing to do i'll sit and pick my mascara off and go and re-apply over and over again, weird I know. I literally love my eyelashes, they're fabulously long and i've never had to wear false eyelashes, i'm just hoping i've finally found the perfect mascara. It wasn't till late last night I realised my Roller Lash had arrived so I couldn't wait to use it this morning.
