moving

 



hey everyone

 its not my usual type of posts today but I wanted to talk about my big move from London to Shropshire it was such a massive change me for me staring in a new place only knowing one person (my boyfriend ) I wanted to write this post for the people out there who also like me have made a massive change for either themselves or the one they love.

 

after being with matt for over a year doing the whole long distance thing we decided it was time to live together seeing as when I wasn't working I was pretty much living here anyway, so after our first holiday to Ibiza together we took the step and moved in.

(photos are from the web)

 

when I moved down here at first (for 5 months) it was really hard I couldn't get a job anywhere, I didn't know anyone, have any friends and was so far away from my family it was killing me inside. you see I'm the type of person who, as soon as I left school I was working a week later and spent so much time with my brother and family.

 

as I was really struggling to find a job I decided it maybe the best idea if I signed up to the apprenticeship program with a collage as I thought it maybe the best idea for me as I wasn't having the best of luck with finding a job at all and, I'm so happy I signed up to the program as I have such a amazing job that I am so good at, my job title is apprentice pharmacy dispenser.

 

after sadly devolving social anxiety from being in a house for 5 months with no interaction from another people apart from matt and his family I was terrified of going to interviews for a job but when this pharmacy job came up I forced myself to stand out and be the best I could to get this job to help me get out of this stupid funk I was in I needed to get my life together and start making a career for myself for the future, this apprenticeship opens up a incredible amount of opportunity's for me as level 2 gives me a health care qualification in which I then either go on and do level three and become a pharmacy technician or I can continue on with something different, seeing as I've only ever done hairdressing I thought it would be incredibly hard as it takes a lot of patients and concentration but it turns out I'm REALLY good at it.

 

now I've been working in this job for almost three months I feel a lot my settled unlike before I was on edge and scared to leave the house. But now I'm happy and loving my life right now I have a great boyfriend who looks after me and treats me great, and loving family who have supported me within my move, and a great little team that I work with at work who I am really close with and who understands I am crazy and moody and lovable.

 

I've made a few friends while I've been up here who are absolutely amazing and friendly it may not be as many as I had back home in London but when you get older you don't need a lot of friends you just need those few friends who you connected with and who invite you into there little circles.

 

 

for anyone intrested in a apprenticeship anywhere within the uk here is the link:

for anyone interested in Shropshire or the midlands

head to Birmingham metropolitan collage or a local collage that offers apprenticeships

sculpt and contour review

make up revolution contour, highlight and blush

 

recently I discovered makeup revolution, its a newish brand out and incredible prices as low as £1.00, I've read and heard amazing things about this particular brand of makeup such as it being amazing pricing, durability and most of all INCREDIBLE dupes for mac and sleek makeup.

 

 

now I've always had that goodness and the annoyingness of having a December birthday, now everyone can obviously see why having a December birthday would be frustrating. I have to wait a whole year for my birthday and Christmas, but, its also amazing because its that time of year where all the makeup and beauty gift boxes come out so I have a great selection of make up every year.

and this birthday (last year)I was lucky enough to get my hand on one of the makeup revolution Christmas gift boxes, I absolutely loved it came with such amazing items such as blusher, eyeliner, bronzer, nail vanish and lip glosses, but this post is all about the sculpt and contour kit.

 

 

The sculpt and contour kit comes with three different powders, a bronzer (brown), blusher(pinkish) and a highlighter (white).

on the make up revolution web page there description is written as follows:

 

"Achieve SCULPTED & CONTOURED Professional Excellence
Our amazing kit provides everything you need for a professional sculpted and contoured finish. This Multi-tasking Handbag Favourite does everything, to be used Together to shape, or individually to freshen up and brighten throughout the day.
Bronze and Blush Powders to achieve a precise contour, and new shades of our amazing HIGHLIGHTERS to finish by BRIGHTENING and illuminating"

 

the above text is written on the makeup revolution website and I can 100% agree with everything they say. at first the contour kit was a bit of a odd colour for my skin type but then I realised just how amazingly pigmented the whole makeup rev collection was, it made me realise that I was adding far to much bronzer to my brush and needed to apply it more delicate, the bronzer is rather brown but it looks amazing on and beautiful light once applied correctly.

 

you apply this bronzer is a down ward angel starting from the top of your checks following down the just underneath the check bone in the hollows of your checks.

 

the highlighter appears to be really white it you apply to much to your brush but theres a technique to applying this istead of brushing like strokes you brush the brush along really fast across the highlighter to gain some on the brush but not loads to make the skin a different colour, you apply this item to the hollows of your cheeks and to 0the none bronzed sections to give that highlighted contoured effect.

 

the blusher in my palette comes in a beige, pink which matches perfectly to my skin and doesn't make me looked washed out due to my irritable skin tone of pale and beige, its very tricky to match them u, but I've found a great item which works with the tone of the skin.

The 30 second instant tan

Heyyy everyone,

 

I've never been a girl to enjoy fake tan or have the urge to stay tanned all year round, but recently ive discovered that i look incredibly healthy with lovely glowing tan.

Now as I've only just really came into the tanning sensation i don't really know much about tan or about the products out there which are great to use.

 

(£1.00 tan from bridgnorth)

 

I work in a chemist (pharmacy, drugstore) in bridgnorth and we sell alot of products ranging from over the counter medication, shampoo, diet and weight loss and fake tan.

We sell two ranges of fake tan, exfoliating tan and 30 second instant tan, when i found out about this tan i had to instantly just buy it just to give it ago and see how the tan worked.  but the most amazing thing about this tan is that its £1.00.

 

This tan say to make sure you skin is clean, dry and exfoliated extremely well.
 

When i first applies this foam tan i thought well its not really doing anything to my skin what a joke but,  this tan takes 30 seconds to apply and is streak free, but it takes  20 mins to a hour to devolope on the skin, but when it does devolope it looks like such a natural tan and looks absolutely beautiful.

The bottle states thats you can apply gradually to gain a dark tan, i applied 3 applications to get a darker skin tone as I've started to recently use tan i like to look like i actually have a tan instead of looking pale like i usually do.

 

When i saw the expose tan i aromatically was skeletal as its a £1 you think hmmm somthing isn't right it seems to good to be true, but i was so wrong i haven't found a fault with this product, it hasn't left me with dry skin or given me a rash or allergic reaction, but not everyones skin is the same so obviously if you are going to be using this item always preform a skin test in a area that doesn't receive much sun light.

 

Before tan.

 

After tan.

bare all!!!

Hey guys,

everyone knows some/ most girls on this planet wear makeup and some girls when they are not wearing make up feel very self conscious about them self, I myself am one of those girls, I wont leave the house without makeup mostly my eyes.
ive asked four lovely bloggers to be a apart of my bare all post and to tell you(the readers how they feel with out make up. to kick start it off is myself.


Demi malcolm/21

When I have no make up on I feel incredibly unlike myself, you see I have the most horrible birthmark in the most awful place, the end of my nose, I feel ugly and stupid when I don't have anything on my face due to this and also due to my scars just below my lips, I also have tiny eyes so when I have makeup on I can make my eyes look bigger and fuller, make up to me is amazing as it helps me hide the imperfects I can't get rid of.

 I feel odd without make-up as I have a really uneven skin tone, as I broke my nose a little while ago  I feel like make-up can help disguise the curve especially with contouring!. I feel more confident with make-up on as my skin looks so much better and is actually all one tone, but I like how my skin feels without make up on.  I'm a lot less confident and I wouldn't feel comfortable going outside.

Like 90% of girls, I rarely leave the house without make up, even if its just to do the weekly shop! Sounds bad I know but we're all like it lets be honest. Without make up the confidence isn't there, I don't feel the way I do with make up. It may seem something small but make up gives me that confidence and makes me feel happier and ready to face the world. But its not only that - I love experimenting with new products, its fun and I love the feeling of finding something new that I love or that changes my whole look. Make up can do incredible things to a girl, things guys would never understand!

When I don't wear make up, I feel exposed. I literally don't feel like myself. I have to at least wear eyeliner if I'm going out somewhere for instance the shop. My skin isn't too bad I get occasional breakouts where I will have to wear foundation but the majority of the time my skin is ok. I have inherited dark circles under my eyes which cannot be covered by make up but some concealers make them less prominent. When I have make up on I feel confident and more like myself. If I feel particularly bad about how I look then make up can make me feel slightly better about myself. Over time I have started to wear less make up but I don't think I could ever go without wearing eyeliner!

It's so strange to think about how different makeup can make someone feel and sometimes I didn't feel so naked without it. In my picture where I am wearing no make up you can see that I have quite pale skin, which I actually don't mind too much as it's part of who I am. What I do hate is how many blemishes I have, and that I have naturally rosy cheeks... Just not in the right places. I find that without make up I always look blotchy and red in the face. The other thing I hate are my eyes as without makeup I feel as though they are unnoticeable. I have really small eyelashes that have no natural volume and without eyeliner to define my eyes I feel that they look really small and tired. I do actually leave the house without makeup at times but I do feel as though people think I haven't made an effort or in don't care about my appearance, which is simply not the case.

I absolutely love makeup and beauty and have for as long as I can remember. When I am wearing makeup I have to admit I feel a lot better in myself, especially getting compliments on my makeup or someone tells me that I look nice. I love putting makeup on an trying new techniques and when I am wearing makeup I feel a lot more confident, even if I am trying to recreate a natural look. There is something about it that makes me feel amazing. As you can tell in the picture the look is quite natural, which I like, but there is nothing I enjoy more than a full face of makeup for a night out or special occasion and I love getting ready just as much as I like going out :). 

I don't think makeup makes people look better at all as people are beautiful with or without makeup. What I do understand is how it can make someone feel better about themselves and make someone who they are.
