On The Go: Brow Definition

Hi guys, so I've decided to do a little series of posts called the 'On The Go' series, this will include 3 posts on quick, easy makeup hair and fashion cheats for when you need to fly out the door! Todays post is all about brows, and how to shape, define and fill in brows quickly and easily!

Step 1- Take a matte eyeshadow the same colour or slightly darker than your natural eye brows and roughly fill in the colour all over, don't worry about making it too perfect, and don't extend them yet, just get the basic filling in done. This instantly makes your brows stand out more.

Step 2- To neaten them up a little take a brow comb and comb through all of your brows, gently teasing and shaping the hairs into the desired shape. Take care on this step to get them even and sleek. This also removes any excess powder clogging your brows.

Step 3- This step is optional. If you feel you need to extend your eyebrow shape, take a small angled brush with your eyeshadow again and carefully draw in your extra brow shape. This may be for when you have a little more time as if you do it too quickly you can completely mess up the shape!

Step 4- The last step is to take a clear mascara and just brush through your brows with the mascara to set and hold you brows all day long. the clear mascara acts as a gel and is so easy to apply. You an get clear mascara in a lot of stores, but my personal favourite is by the Natural Collection, its actually a clear mascara for conditioning lashes, which helps to keep your brows healthy too, and bonus its only £1.99, bargain!

So thats it for todays post,  I do this nearly every day to my eyebrows and it just looks so effortless and natural which I really like! There will be a Natural Collection brand review post coming soon so look out for that!

Thank you to everyone who has messaged me about my blog, it really means so much to me to get those lovely messages from people so thank you all my lovelies! A lot of people have been asking whether i am actually going to start my youtube now and at the moment i will not be, I'm really sorry if you wanted to see it but I've got lots of ideas and i just want to save them all for when i'm ready and will have the time to upload regularly and make the best videos i can. When i do decide to do it i want to be prepared and ready and at the moment i'm just enjoying focussing on my blog and making it as good as i can. I will also be redesigning my blog this week so keep checking out to see the new design!

What To Buy.
So above you'll find my favourite trends for the autumn/winter 14 season. There are a few pieces that will work in multiple trends, be your saviour items, and will work in any situation: an aviator, shearling lined jacket; a colourful shift dress; brown leather knee high boots; a grey/beige/white turtle neck top and a black or white sharp blazer.

How YOU Can Wear It.

Don't be scared! This season fashion is fun, flirty and has a definite 'don't care' attitude about it. From Karl Lagerfelds Chanel Shopping Market to Jeremy Scotts fast food fashion, this season anything goes as long as its chic. Whichever trend you choose to wear, do it well, even if you stick to one thing for the whole season, do it well. Invest in some key items and dig up your mums cupboard to find some real gems. Stick to clean lines and basic pieces if your nervous, but if your brave go all out and get some colour!! Look to Brigitte bardot, Twiggy and Audrey Hepburn for inspiration and have fun, thats what fashions for!!

A Day At The Beach & OOTD!

Hi everyone, sorry this was supposed to go up last night but i forgot, oops!
A couple of days ago me and my mum went down to the beach of the day! It was lovely and such a beautiful place, we walked along the cliffs and the cliffs themselves were so colourful!















I decided to wear a peachy pink sleeveless shirt with a cute oatmeal jumper with motif and some light wash jeans. On my feet i wore some basic white pumps, simple casual and practical outfit!

It was a beautiful place and not only was the beach lovely, it was full of green park areas too!















Me and my mum went into the arcades and wasted so much money on fun little games, btw the games where you have to grab the toys are such a con omg! But anyway we had a lovely treat day and treated ourselves to some naughty food, fish and chips and donuts!!

Margate shopping haul!

Hi everyone, yesterday i was at my grandparents and they took me shopping to margate, which i have fallen in love with. Margate town is beautiful, and if your like me and you love vintage, its the place to be. Along King. St there are a large number of beautiful vintage shops, but unfortunately we went on a Monday when most things are closed in the area. We only really found one vintage shop that was open called Parapphanelia (i think!) the owner was so lovely and so helpful, i bought a beautiful red/blue check flannel shirt which he gave to me discounted at only £10!! Definitely worth a visit!
Then we went on to the Westwood shopping centre where there are so so may shops including topshop, river island, T K Maxx and primark. First off i went to super drug and purchased two cheap and cheerful items from MUA, a matte neutral palette and a pink rosy blush. Then i went to River Island and in the sale i found an adorable mickey mouse printed jumper, i loved it, and even though its very childish and silly i fell in love with it! Also in the sale i picked up two adorably cute midi rings which were so adorbs!! Then moving on to New Look, i don't normally shop in new look but i found the most beautiful scarf! Its a very large thick red classic tartan check print, and can be doubled up at a planket (see my blog post about plankets here) I love it, so warm and cosy! I then got my favourite film ever with my favourite person ever in… yes you guessed it Divergent on DVD. When i finnish writing this I'm gonna go get me some chocolate and watch it! I got it from HMV. The last thing i got was a really nice blue and white stripe print dress from primark. Its thick and cosy, perfect for autumn!

So thats it everyone, hope you enjoyed this haul, i am considering doing a youtube video on this, hmm not sure!

cheap and easy loom band choker!

Hey everyone, today I'm at my Nan's in the Kent area and while I've been here I brought some loom bands with me and decided to make some chokers! I started off with a pink and purple one, and then a black one. I've been wearing the black one all the time as it's simple and easy to wear. It also looks like chain link which is really cool. To make this put one band on one finger, twist around and put it on the finger next to it making a figure of eight, then put another band on normally next to them and pull the first band over each side of the one on top of it and repeat.

A really easy, wearable and cheap alternative to the ones you can buy in stores !

Get inspired! DIY Inspiration Book!

Hey guys, so today i decided to make myself a book full of inspiration, obviously it is not yet complete;y full but i made a start and i thought id give you some ideas on how you could give it a go!
So first of all i went to this super awesome shop called Tiger and got myself a medium square notebook. It has a kind of faux leather back and front. Then i went through some magazines and cut out some quotes and images and arranged them on the front cover. they could be whatever your interested in but i love fashion and beauty so thats what i chose. Then after sticking them all down i took some sticky back plastic and covered the front to leave a nice shiny finnish. Unfortunately i didn't do this all that well and ended up with some creases in the front, oopsie! Once you've decorated your book go ahead and start filling the pages with words, pictures, quotes, fabrics, materials, photographs, whatever makes you happy and gives you inspiration. Try to theme each page so you can flick to different pages for different inspiration. You can look on tumblr and see so many of these but i always think its nice to make your own!
Hope this gives you some inspiration!

Love you all, p.s my youtube should be going up in the next few days so keep your eyes peeled!!

I'm back in England! All about my holiday, Kos 2014!

Hey guys!! I'm so so so soooo sorry i haven't posted in so long but i promise regular uploads from now on! (see your even getting an extra post this week ;) ) So I'm back in England and i was greeted by the lovely lovely dull grey skies so typical in this country!! But, i did have an amazing holiday in Kos in Greece. So if any of you didn't know Kos is an Island in Greece which is actually really close to Turkey, you can see it from the beach! I stayed at the hotel called Blue Lagoon Resort, and it was so lovely. The pool there was amazing, it's the biggest on the whole island!

This only shows less than half off it but it was a beautiful pool and such a nice colour and shape. There was also an insight watermark which was so so much fun! The animation team their were so lovely and we spent a lot of our time participating in classes and chatting to Samantha, Emma, Katie, Lauren, Benji and Sebby, all dancers or singers who also performed in the evening shows. I spent a lot of time with Samantha especially, doing aqua gym with her every morning and she came and waved us off when we left. Definitely missing them all already!! The waiters and waitresses were lovely always supplying us with ample drinks, Camelia, Dirrini and Georgios were especially kind! The beach was so beautiful too, and we spent a lot of time messing around in the water, the waves were so choppy that they'd come right over your head and knock you right over! The sun beds on the beach were so so comfortable too, it was literally like a bed!


















Kos itself is a beautiful island, its very lush with roses and lots of greenery, but also very mountainous too. Kos town is a lovely place, on one side of the gorgeous harbour (filled with luxury yaughts! ) You find an array of local and commercial shops selling everything from fake bags to olive oil soap! I must admit i had to get myself a fake Longchamp medium bag and a fake black Chanel purse, shh! On the other side of the island you will find the more historic side to the island, there is the castle and some old walls. However it is very sad to see so many stray cats :(

All together i had an amazing time and took lots of footage while i was there, and so i am going to try and edit it all together into a kind of Holiday Vlog on a youtube channel that i will be starting once i work out how to do channel art! Hope you enjoyed this post, talk to you tomorrow for another post, byeee x gk
