My Sweet 16!

 Hello everybody!

This is quite a bit late, but I've only just had the time to put together some photos from my 16th birthday, which was on the 11th of October! I had my best friends over for dinner and a movie and it was so so lovely! A big thank you to all the girls who made my night amazing, and an even bigger thank you to my incredible Mum who made all the yummy sweets and treats you can see in the pictures!

  

 

Thanks for checking out my blog!

Put A Ring On It • Lovisa Haul

Hello chummies! 

Picked up a few goodies at a Sale in Lovisa this week! I always forget to wear earrings and rings, which I hate because they often add a really lovely touch to an outfit and bring it all together. I'm hoping these beauties will encourage me to wear them more and not forget!!

The two pictures show two pretty different styles but I really love both of them and know I have different outfits that would suit them all. 

I especially loved the cross earrings, so much that I got them in black and silver!
My favourite purchase is definitely the gold branch ring as I've been looking for one that's affordable for SO LONG, and this was just $2.00!

Let me know which of the two styles you prefer!
Thanks for reading☺

Eye Make-up Haul!

I am officially THEE WORST beauty blogger ever. I am so sorry. I will really try to post more <3
Anyway!!! I made some v. special beauty purchases a few weeks ago & so here are some lil reviews :)

 

♥ Urban Decay Naked 2 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner ♥

♥ Urban Decay Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero & Bourbon ♥

Some seriously great eyeliners here. Would recommend them ALL, especially the liquid eyeliner. Very easy to use, which is great for beginners like me :) The pencils are also great, have a texture similar to a gel eyeliner which I like, as I find it much easier to apply when it's in a pencil. Both colours are gorgeous, I love Bourbon as its a gorgeous brown with shimmer and would suit both a day or night look.

♥ Benefit They're Real Mascara ♥

Finally!!! I've wanted this mascara for soo long, and it definitely lived up to my high expectations. Two coats and it looks like I'm wearing fake eyelashes. Quite pricey, (obviously - it's Benefit) but does a brilliant job.

 ♥ Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette ♥

This palette has some seriously beautiful colours in it. Some of my favourites are Bootycall, Chopper, Snakebite and Ydk. A really good mix of mattes, shimmers and glitters, and colours that I think suit my brown eyes very well. Also, the brush is amazing!! I usually hate brushes that come in a palette but I use this one so much! Very happy that I chose this palette out of the three.

Thankyou for reading!

The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger TAG

Hellooo lovelies, I stumbled across this TAG on Lucy Sparkle's blog and it sounded like something that would suit me very well (I consider myself the Queen of Procrastination). Enjoy!

Rules:

1. Thank the tagger and link them in the post.

2. State that this tag was created by The Beau Bow.

3. Copy and paste the rules.

4. Tag some more beauty bloggers and link them to the post.

5. Title this The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger TAG.

6. Have fun!
♥

 1. Name a beauty regime that you rarely do.
I very rarely paint my nails, it's boring as hell and I'm not allowed to wear it at school so I only have them done for special occasions.

2. Is washing your make-up brushes something you do regularly?
Hmm.. does once a month count as regular? Probably not :') I always forget to honestly!

3. How long will you last with chipped nail polish? 
About two days, it annoys the hell out of me but re-painting them also annoys the hell out of me. I can't win!

4. How long do you put off buying/ replacing a beauty or nail polish product, even if you need it? (E.g. purchasing a new top coat or foundation).
Not long at all, I buy it at the next chance I get. Most of the beauty products I have are essentials so I can't stand not having one!

5. What is your worst beauty habit?
I rub FAR too hard when removing makeup. I try not to but as soon as I stop thinking about it, I go right back to doing it again. It's terrible... shame on me.

6. Name something non-beauty related that you put off all the time.
Homework, exercise and cleaning my room. Oops. I guess that's the same for most people though so at least I'm not alone!

7. When going out somewhere do you leave getting ready to last minute or not?

Noooo way. If it's somewhere important I give myself about 2 hours. Somehow I always end up rushing in the last few minutes though....

8. Can you commit to a spending ban?

No :'( I love shopping way too much. I am trying to save money though, I use a certain method that I blogged about aaages ago, you can check it out here.

9. How organised is your make-up and nail polish collection? 

I don't have draws and draws full of make up/nail polish like a lot of other beauty bloggers, so it's very easy to organise; make up in a make up bag, nail polish in a box!

10. What is the longest amount of time you have gone without writing a blog post?

Like a month.............oops. I felt guilty but sometimes life just gets in the way, you know? Also, I felt like I was lacking inspiration and creativity for my blog posts, and I don't want to be posting just for the hell of it, I want to be posting something I'm actually happy with.

Winter Fashion Haul

Winter has officially arrived in Australia, so to celebrate, I've put together a winter fashion haul!

COTTON ON 

Just a simple black hoodie. Very casual but essential for any wardrobe, I think. It's got those cute little thumb holes too!!

A white wrap around scarf. Warm AND pretty! I'm practically collecting these.

Just some basic burgundy trackies, they're very casual but not so casual you look like you're wearing PJs.

I looove this. It's loose and comfy and kinda reminds me of Tyler Oakley! Will get a lot of wear out of this I just know it!! 

This coat is soooo gorgeous and comfy and warm! You can wear it on top of almost anything and I love it.

FACTORIE

Hahahahah.. what can I say... they we're too cute not to buy.

COUNTRY ROAD

Thought this was just a very nice long sleeved tee you could really layer up! I'd like to wear it with black jeans, a coat, a scarf and boots!

 RUBI SHOES

In love with these <3 They are kinda wintery because of the thick strap and can be dressed up or down.

Thanks for reading!!

Oops...

Hey there... remember me?

I may have just gone three whole weeks without blogging but I'm counting on you guys to forgive me! It's just been hectic, I had a week of work experience which was so exhausting, and then got really sick with food poisoning! Never fear, I'm 100% ready to hop back into it now!

I've also decided to end my beloved 'Thoughts For Thursday' series :( I'll be keeping up the TFT tab on my blog though, so if you're ever feeling down and need a positivity boost, be sure to scroll through them :)

Love you all!

Couch to 5k - The Beginning

    Hello everyone!! 

So today, me and one of my best friends officially started the 'Couch to 5k iPhone app'. Its a 9 week fitness program, aiming to get your fitness levels high enough for you to be able to run 5kms in 30 minutes. There's a half hour workout planned for three days every week, which usually alternates walking and jogging. 

Our first workout of Week 1 went really well, it involved jogging for 1 min and walking for 1½ mins, plus a 5 minute warm up and cool down walk. I didn't find it challenging at all, and can honestly say I enjoyed it! 

One thing I find hard personally is staying motivated. And I wasn't going to let myself slack off after a week. So, 'for encouragement', I bought myself a gorgeous new pair of Nike runners. I also put together a playlist, because I think upbeat music is the perfect way to stay motivated, and distracted, during a workout!

If you're planning on starting the app too, let me know in the comments!

Mini LUSH Haul

I had a lovely visit to Lush yesterday, I definitely had to limit myself... everything in there is so tempting! I want it all! Anywho, I thought I'd give you a little look at what I did buy!

Melting Marshmallow Moment Bath Melt - $8.50

This has got to be my absolute favourite Lush product ever. It smells so lovely and sweet, and makes your skin feel just incredible. I especially recommend this to people who are new to Lush as it's a very good quality product and if you like sweet smells, you'll love it.

Rose Queen Bath Ballistic - $4.95

I haven't tried this out just yet but I'm looking forward to it! It's quite a strong scent of rose but I'm hoping it will be a little weaker once I actually use it. I love that there are little bits of rose petals inside, so cute!

Dream Steam Steam Tabs - $2.50 each

 These. Are. Amazing. Basically all you do is fill a bowl with boiling water, drop one in, wait for it to melt in, then bring your face over the top (just above the water) and cover you and the bowl with a towel. The steam helps open and clear out your pores and it's very relaxing, too! Another one I'd definitely recommend.

What are your favourite products from Lush at the moment??
