Birthday Celebrations 3

So a few months back, when I'd first started blogging really, I did a little 'Get ready with me' sort of post for a friends birthday(which is here; Birthday Celebrations 2). Since I enjoyed doing that one I thought I'd do another one, and after a close friends recent 18th birthday party I thought this would be the perfect event to blog about! So here goes!

The top picture is basically everything I used for the party! I wear very little make up really and don't tend to venture into the world of eye shadow unless its a special occasion. As it goes this was a pretty special occasion so I thought hey why not?! I didn't fancy using liquid foundation, as I often don't, I chose to where my recent re-discovered favourite Rimmel London, Stay Matte pressed powder, in 003 Peach Glow. I find it just gives the skin a natural look which I always find I prefer.

I used the H&M Kabuki brush, which is defiantly worth the £4.99 I payed for it! I also recently purchased the MUA Pro-base fixing mist, which is actually really good! and at £5, you can't really go wrong!

I used my favourite mascara as usual! I'm not keen on eye lash curlers but I find this mascara does the job pretty well without using them! I can't keep up with how much I've raved about the Maybelline New York mascaras! I love them!

Finally, I used this gold-ish type colour for my eyes. I'm not ever sure about eye shadow or how to wear them, like should I be mixing or wearing just the one colour or what?! But hey I though this colour was quite nice and matched the colour of my outfit quite well. I have no idea what shade this is, all I know is its off a little pallet from Boots sometime last year! I did forget to take pictures of the lipstick I wore, but as usual I wore my collection 2000 favourite! 

So yeah this is basically how I ended up looking. As normal, because I'm awful at hair styling, I straightened my hair but ended up just pushing my fringe back every few minutes. 

I wore a gold sequined tshirt from New look, which I bought last year but have only worn once before! Its got a sort of see through chiffon type back to. I wore it tucked into a long black skirt which is defiantly my best purchase for a long time; only costing me £5! Yay! I then just put my old favourite heels on, which I bought from Peacocks, when that was still a shop haha!

Thanks for reading, I enjoy these types of posts! Hope you enjoyed! Heres a few pictures from the night;

My week #3

This weeks little week update is pretty short and all the pictures are from the same night; oops! I've had a super busy week and I've been ill for the most of it so I didn't really take many pictures!

The pictures which I did take this week were all at a close friends 18th birthday celebrations! The top right picture is with the birthday girl and it was a fab evening with some of my close friends and new friends; even if a little bit too much was drank! The two pictures on the right are my two favourite pictures from the night and the left is the little outfit which I threw together pretty much an hour before the party, haha I always leave things till last minute!

I hope everyone had a good week! Thanks for reading!

Birthday Celebrations 2

Hii, I thought I'd try something a bit different and do a sort of  'get ready with me' post. I wasn't particularly dressed up for the occasion but I thought hey, you've got to start somewhere!

It was one of my closest friends birthday and our group of friends were celebrating with a meal and a few drinks at her house. It wasn't particularly dressy but it was a heels occasion, and they're always the best!

I don't get ready all in one go, so it was spread through out the day. But I started with a bath, which included Lush Fun bubble bar type thing and Lush Snow fairy. I used John Frieda's Luxurious Volume shampoo and conditioner on my hair.

 

Once I'd gotten out of the bath and then my shower(I'm very good at conserving water) I towel dried my hair and used John Frieda's Luxurious Volume mouse. 

I was also blessed with very sensitive skin so I have to be extra careful with anything I use on my skin. My newest favorite  moisturizer is currently Soap and Glory and luckily I can use it without my face blowing up to look like a tomato.  It smells soooo nice and is really moisturizing but I do find it a bit greasy.

To dry my hair I use a Tresemme hair dryer and to style I use GHD straighteners. I don't tend to use heat protection spray because I don't like how it makes my hair feel and how it burns on the straightening plates. I know I should but I haven't found a decent one to use. I straightened my hair, which is how I normally wear it, with my sweeping fringe across the right to the left. 

For my eyes I use Maybelline New York, The colossal Volum' Express mascara, its my regular favourite and reasonably priced to! I love the volume it gives and the fullness it gives my lashes. The brush is brilliant to use to! 

Obviously I'm forcing my eyes open to be that wide, but I quite like how the
mascara makes my eyes look 

I don't often wear face make up other than on my eyes, but seeing as it was a bit of a special occasion I used blusher and eye shadow, which was a massive change for me! 

I got this Technic blusher in a set with different colours and eye shadows. I don't know its name or anything but I like the way it sits on the skin and how it looks natural yet still enhances. I cant often tell the difference when I wear make up, but I wore it on my cheek bones and just slightly next to my eyes slightly lighter than on my cheeks.  I then put a silvery and grey coloured eye shadow on to just add a bit of colour and dimension.

Oh yeah, well done Hannah, Very in focus

As I said before I don't get ready in one go so I then went back to my hair. I made sure it was straight and added hair spray. I then thought I'd clip the fronts back with little bobby pins.  I then got dressed and ready; 

Sorry for the dirty mirror

I wore a cream/slightly off white t shirt from River Island, which is open on the back apart from little bows, which £15 in the sale. I wore it with dark blue jeans, from F&F at Tesco(comfy and reasonable), along with nude and black heels from New Look, £11 in the sale! I'm a massive sucker for a nice pair of heels! My little clutch bag was given to me as a present for my 17th birthday by a close friend and I LOVE it!

Sorry for such a word heavy post but I wanted to blog about my little routine! I might do some more of these; I'm quite enjoying writing and posting lifestyle and beauty posts. 

The birthday girl and myself, clearly enjoying a good night 

 Hope everyone had a lovely June and has a lovely July!

Birthday Celebrations

So it was one of my closets friends Birthday a couple of weeks ago and we celebrated with a meal at a lovely Italian in Blackpool and then drinks and drunken antics at a friends house. 

My celebration outfit; 

Dress; H&m £19.99
I then wore it with Black Wedges from New look
and a silver heart bracelet.

My Girls all looked amazing, and we had such a good night!

After the meal we then returned home for drinks and a game of ring of fire; by far one of the funniest drinking games ever!

I then embarrassingly enough ended the night, on the bathroom floor; which is where I slept; but I wont include those embarrassing pictures. But all in all a good night was had by all!

I just wanted to post about the evening as not only a memory for me but as an insight into my life.
