DIY Makeup storage!

Hi everyone, today the weather has been pretty miserable here in england so i thought i would do some organising and sort all my makeup out! (i really did not realise how much i had!) I decided to separate everything out into sperate containers, and so i thought id take you through how i did it!
In the first tray i put all my base makeup, so my primers and foundation/bb creams, i lined them all up neatly so you can see everything. Then in the next tray i put in all my concealers, powders and blushers. I put these two trays next to each other on my dressing table. Then i took a long tall container and lined up all my makeup brushes and my eyelash curlers. Then i got a tiny little pot and put my makeup sponges and tiny little eye shadow brushes in it. Next up i got a round deep pot and filled it with all my little eyeshadows. Then i got another tray container and lined up all my mascaras, eyeliners and brow products. Then i got another deep round pot and filled it with all my lipsticks, lip liners and two lip balms. They all fit really nicely in these pots and i lined up the last three tubs along with the next one in a row. And the final one is a big tray of lip glosses. These trays/pots all fit really nice and snug on my dressing table and its so much easier now to be able to see all my makeup and access it easily. You could decorate these pots if you wanted to with stickers or ribbon, but i like to keep mine clear so i can see everything. Check out how it looked when i finished down below!

I hope you guys liked this post and found it useful, have a good week wherever you are in the world!

Camera's, Summer 2014, and vintage shopping!

Hey everyone, sorry this post didn't go up last night  but i felt i needed to work on it some more and make it a bit longer as a lot of my recent posts have been very short. So sorry guys!

First of all id like to talk about cameras, I've been looking for my first blogging/vlogging/professional camera for a while now and i just can't find the perfect one in my price range. I really want one of this good old big chunky Canon ones because i just love to be able to handle a big camera, and the lenses are amazing, but i mean they're like £400!!! I'm a high-school girl i mean i have a budget! So i'd really like you guys to let me know which are your favourites at around £100-ishh, i just want some camera love! Anddddd then i can start my youtube channel which i am hopefully going to set up over the summer, exciting!!

Next up, i would just like to stress how amazingly excited i am for this summer, I've worked so hard this year and i'm starting my gcse's next year so I've been getting in all my knowledge! I've also been trying to figure out some idea of what i want to do when I'm older, i've got a place on the CAT (centre for advanced training) scheme at the jerwood dance house starting in september which leads you on to a career in dance, so I'm super confused in what i want to be, as if you've read my blog for a whioe you'll know i LOVE fashion, and i really thought i knew what i wanted to do. so yeah, confusing.

Lastly, i would like to share with you my love for shopping for vintage clothes and charity shops. Theres nothing worse than a snobby person who won't go into a charity shop because they don't think its cool. I' sorry but I've found some amazing designer pieces in charity and vintage stores and its amazing because you know that nobody has anything like it! Whats not to love! One of kind outfits that are very very cheap and you have such a lot to choose from. The joy i get when i find something amazing is just the best feeling!! So here are my tips for successful second-hand shopping: Wear basic pieces that you know you can make outfits out of like white vests, leggings, jeans and thin jumpers and shorts; Don't carry a big handbag, a small cross-body bag is the best as when your carrying piles of clothes and sifting through endless rails your arms are gonna get tired and you want minimal weight already on your arms. But most of enjoy it, have a laugh, try some crazy stuff on and don't take it too seriously!

I hope you enjoyed this longer post, love you all byee x gk

Looking good at the gym!

Hi all, the summers here! You may be looking to tone those abs and legs ready for bikini season so that (for most of you) probably means hitting the gym. I completely understand that you don't want to look completely awful when your working out, so here are my top tips for still looking amazing when your hot and sweaty! So start off by the outfit you choose, you want something light, tight fitting and cool. There is a massive range of sports ware out there but for summer i suggest wearing a pair of tight fitting shorts, a sports bra and a tank top. Invest in some good quality trainers as well as it can really help your performance. You don't have to just stick with boring old black and white thug, there are some beautiful designs and patterns out there in lovely fabrics. Try Nike, Victorias Secret Pink, Forever 21 and Adidas. For trainers Asics or Nike are the best. Tip number two is the makeup, you don't want to wear a lot of makeup when you go to the gym, preferably not any, as when you sweat it clogs up your pores and can smear and rub off. But if you but wear some makeup stick to thin lightweight layers, also always prime your skin as it makes sure your makeup doesn't budge. Avoid eye makeup but always wear lip balm as your lips can get very dry. Lastly, always keep for hair up, either in a high ponytail, french braids of a bun, but make sure your hair is away from your face and secure in place as you do t want it falling out and looking a mess! I hope this helped, i"ll leave some inspirational gym images below to give you that motivation to get up and work out! Hope you found this helpful, love you all!

This week's beauty favourites!

Hi everyone, today i was looking through my makeup bag and realised i haven't done a favourites post for you guys yet! So here are the products I've been loving at the moment! First of all is my face favourites (oo alliteration) first of all my happy light illuminating serum by bourgeois which is a primer, i really like this one as its not very expensive and really makes your skin glow! Apply it with your finger tips and pat it into your skin for a gorgeous glow and it really helps keep your makeup on your face. The other face product is the Illuminating touch brightening concealer by collection, this comes in a pen with a little brush end and you twist the product to squeeze it into the little brush. You can apply it like a big colouring pencil and its a really nice consistency, the colours great and i have purchased this multiple times now. Moving onto eyes, i just have one product for you which i use every day, this is the maybelline 'the mega plush volume express' mascara and i love it! I got this a while back and recently I've been using it every day, it makes my lashes look so thick and long and i just love the brush! Onto my eyebrows, this is a long time favourite of mine and i have actually done a review of this product, its the sleek brow kit, and i have the colour light. This is a little box with a powder and a gel in it with an angled brush for the gel, a round brush for the powder and some tweezers for neatening stuff up. This is my favourite bro product as it does everything and its such a good colour! Finally onto lips i have two products, firstly the Maybelline colour sensational lipstick in the colour electric orange, this is a vibrant orange tone which suits my skin tone lovely, it gives any outfit a pop of colour and is right on trend for summer. And my last favourite of the week is my Rimmel Lasting finish colour rush chubby stick lipstick in 500 The Redder The Better. This is a really glossy red, perfect for summer. Its really moisturising and easily build able whether you want a subtle red tone or full on red. This is my favourite red lip product, i love it!!

The do-it-all makeup product you already have!

Hi guys! Today i thought i'd do a little post about the one product that does everything, and probably more than you think. Its Vaseline! And i know you probably think boringggg, but it can really help you out! There are many different ways to use it; you can apply it to chapped lips and over night your lips will be silky smooth, apply it after shaving and it smoothes down your skin, apply it to your eye lids and lashes to help your lashes stay healthy strong and long, apply it to eyebrows to help them hold shape, grow quicker and stay soft and you can also apply it to any areas of dry skin and it works like an amazing moisturiser. Seriously it costs like £2 and it does absolutely everything, so go find your vaseline out the cupboard and get using it!

Bye everyone, sorry that todays post was quite short but I'm about to go and play netball, again!

Love you my favourite people, byee x gk

The key pieces you NEED in your wardrobe!

Hi everyone! Today i thought id do a little wardrobe post, and here are the things that i think you need in your wardrobe (just my opinion, have whatever you like in your wardrobe!)
1-A classic pair of blue medium-ish skinny jeans. Find a pair that fit you perfectly and are really comfy.
2-A White or black very top. Preferably a loose-ish one perhaps chiffon. Something plain and comfy that can go with any outfit.
3- A blazer. A muted tone is best, its the perfect piece to smarten up basic pieces.
4-That dress. The dress that can be transformed from day to night. Effortlessly chic, something that makes you feel good!
5-The ankle boots. Grey or brown. Maybe a little heel and some detailing. Casual, comfy and oh so wearable.
6-The on the shoulder leather bag. The kind of this you can get everything you need in, but not massive. Leather is best as its very long lasting, black grey or tan go with everything.

And thats it! If you have these pieces in your wardrobe, you can't go wrong!

Help me get to 2000 views!  If i do i'll start a youtube chanel!!
