A LITTLE DIY HERE AND THERE


HEY GUYS! I'm loving getting new followers! Thanks so much for doing so ;D makes me haaaappy.
Anyways, at school i'm in a thing called INTERACT where we raise money for a particular charity. I'm selling Tshirts with slogans (havent done them yet; i will update you) and Clay charms :)

 
 
 

I've also been loving making brooches! I'll be making tutorials for these so you guys can make them too! :D


 
That one is my faaaave!
Bought a few things today! I'm going to keep them on the DL until I've fully reviewed them haha! Ok i'm going to eat my pie and make some more clay things. G'night!

Sorry for not updating


I've had a LOT going on. School is hugely pressurising and i really need to improve my grades! Not only that but I was in my school's Dance Evening, and we were doing the ABBA dance. Costume? GOLD HOTPANTS. Probably the most embarassing thing i've ever worn but extremely fun none-the-less.
ALSO i've been really inspired by DIY fashion blogs so i'll be posting things i've made, tutorials and just fashion inspiration in general. I'm loving "Love Maegan" and "Ps I made this", they're amazing blogs so go search them up. I've always been a bit iffy about how much i spend on clothes and so charity shops, craft shops and my sewing skills are my best friend atm!

Recent purchase:
Bourjois have these amazing SMOKEY EYES TRIO's out. RRP £7.33 but at Boots they're £2 off so go grab them. I got them in the neutrals and they're amazing! Check them out if you're a smokey eye fanatic like me :D

I have number 3

FINALLY my biggest problem is that the internet isn't working on my laptop. I'm hating using the computer- it feels weird to me D: Hopefully i'll have it fixed soon! Have a nice weekend everyone <3

Max Factor False Lash Effect & What's in my make-up bag? & a giveaway!


To all you USA people, you will know this as the ever-famous LASHBLAST. So, let us start the review.


The packaging is black and very sleek, i quite like it! The brush is huge, I was quite surprised- especially as i have been using the Maybelline Stiletto which is a really skinny brush- this was huge in comparison! But as i saw it, i immediately loved it. Because i love big brushes, it just makes me think i'm going to get big results.
What i loved about this mascara's advert was that when it was applied on the model it didn't look immediately fake and injected with ridiculously long lashes, it looked natural. This drew me to it- but the price stopped me. Around £11 for a drugstore mascara? ...Meh.
Luckily Boots had an offer for £3 off and i needed a new mascara, so i snapped it up. The verdict? I love it.

It gives a gorgeous natural effect and it fans out EVERY lash. It can get difficult to get into the smaller lashes but it manages. Here's a picture test.

 
NO mascara. Crap lashes right? 




First coat



Second coat. LOVE IT

It doesn't clump, it doesn't look heavy and it's the perfect every day mascara. Go snap it up at it's lower price right now because it's definately worth it. Would I repurchase? I'm not sure. I never re-buy the same mascara straight after because i always want a change but I'm pretty sure i will end up buying it again :D


Which one do you like? The mascara eye or the non-mascara eye? HMMMM?

I also wanted to do a What's in my make-up bag post and i thought i'd just throw it in here. haha
