Advice

 

 

Hi guys, I felt that I needed to do a more serious blog post, so here you are. I beg you, if you are having a bad day, read this and it might help.

 

I know there are a lot of you out there that are dealing with bad circumstances. Whether that is money issues, family issues, insecurity, being bullied, anxiety, or just being over shy. Life can be tough and sometimes we just can't help that. I can't tell you I know exactly how you're feeling but I have been through very painful circumstances as I think we all have. I first lost my self confidence a few years ago, and at the time I almost gave up entirely, I was moody all the time, didn't see the point in life and treated some of the people I love very badly. But that was wrong, life may seem bad but that is no reason to take it out on others and please, don't give up.

 

Life can seem at it's worst at times, but it is full of endless amazing opportunities and you only live once. I know that seems cringy but it is true and you just have to make the most of it. If you're being bullied then you have to do something about it, please. Someone that tells you 'to die' or that you're 'ugly' or even something small like 'you're stupid' is a bully. They should not be acknowledged for the horrible things they say or do and you are a better person than them. Please tell an adult or at least a friend if you're being bullied as it can only get better. I am in no way saying that it is okay for them to be doing what they are doing but please remember that the bullies may be the ones with the biggest problems or insecurities and they are just too scared to talk to someone about it. If they need a shoulder to cry on, please offer it. If your life seems bad please do not try and ruin others lives as well, bullying can drive people to do so many horrible things, in some cases end life altogether.

 

It would be hard for me to give you advice on how to gain more self confidence or become less shy as I haven't figured that one out myself. All I can say is to take chances, even if things might seem scary they may turn out to be amazing. Talk to others, what is the worst that can happen? Most importantly if someone is trying to make you feel worse about yourself, stand up to them. Don't let them win, be the better person. Don't insult them back because then you're just lowering yourself to their level but don't just sit there and let them make you feel like that.

 

I promise you that if your life seems pretty bad, that it will get better. Please don't do anything drastic and just keep telling yourself that happiness is just around the corner. If there is one thing that I have learned so far it is to capture the good moments. Whether that's by photo, drawing, writing or even a mental image. Because if there is a day that is particularly bad or you're just feeling the worst of the worst you can look back at those moments. I write a diary to keep them in and looking back at what I have written always makes me smile and makes me forget about all the bad things for a moment or two.

 

Promise yourself that you will;

• Keeping smiling

• Always tell everyone you love how much you really do love them.

• Stand up for yourself.

• Never let the bad aspects of life overpower the good.

• Live every minute like it's your last.

• Capture the good moments and keep looking back at them.

 

 

I know my blog isn't very big, but if this just helps one person, it would make me so happy. So please just have a read.

 

I love all of you.

 

Life is what you make it, try and make it your best.

 

The Beauty Scenario Tag

 

 

 

Hi Guys,

 

I'm sorry I haven't posted in so long, I keep telling myself to get off YouTube and post haha. I have to give credit to the beautiful Lily Pebbles for this post as I'm going to be doing The Beauty Scenario Tag, which she created. I watched her video on it a couple of days back and I loved it so much I knew I had to do the same tag on my blog, so here it is!

 

 

1. You have to get rid of all your foundations and you can only keep one high end and one drugstore, which do you keep?

I don't actually own any high end foundations, but as for drugstore, I love the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation, it has medium coverage, is not cakey and the colour True Ivory matches my skin tone perfectly.

2. You go for an interview and the lady interviewing you has lipstick on her teeth. Do you approach the subject or ignore it completely?

I would probably not tell her, as I am quite shy, or I would mention it after the interview when I'm not under so much pressure.

3. You're not feeling yourself and need a pick me up. Which lipstick do you put on to make yourself feel beautiful?

This isn't exactly a lipstick but more of a tinted balm. I have absolutely been loving the MUA Power Pouts lately. They are just like the Clinique Chubby Sticks and the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains. I have the colour Justify which is a beautiful coral that really brightens up your face.

4. You go back in time for a day to your teenage years, how would you do your hair and makeup differently?

 

I am now 14, so let's just say I go back a year or two. I have changed so much and knew absolutely nothing about makeup and hair. I would have not worn so much eye shadow, when on holiday or on a special occasion I used to wear this neon turquoise eye shadow and looking back now, I looked a state. Also, I wouldn't have done my hair is such tight ponytails and kept it looser so my hair didn't look glued to my head.

5. You ask your hairdresser for a shoulder length Pixie Lott hair cut, but they hear wrong and give you a pixi cut. Do you a) Smile, say thank you, leave and call your mum hysterical b) Cry in the chair and things get awkward or c) Complain to the manager and demand a refund.

 

Being quite shy (as I mentioned before), I would probably pick a), but instead of calling my mum hysterical, I would probably call her out of my mind with worry and start to cry.

6. Your friend surprises you with a 4 day city break and you have 1 hour to pack. Which 'do it all' palette do you pack in your makeup bag?

 

I would probably pack a Rimmel quad, even though they are not palettes, they have some gorgeous colours.

7. Your house has been robbed, don't worry everyone is safe, but your beauty stash has been raided. What's the product you really hope is safe?

All of my Soap & Glory products, body and makeup as they are probably the most expensive items in my stash. Particularly, The Scrub Of Your Life and my Archery Brow Tint and Pencil.

8. Your friend borrows your makeup and returns it in awful condition. Do you a) Just pretend you haven't noticed b) Ask them to repurchase it or c) Secretly do the same to something of theirs

 

If it was an expensive or hard to get item, I would choose B and ask them nicely to repurchase it or at least apologise, but if it was a cheaper or easier item to get hold of, I would choose A and let it go.

 

Remember, you're all beautiful and never think that you need makeup to cover that.

Rimmel Stay Glossy 3D Lip Gloss

 

 

Hi guys!

 

 

I picked up this lip gloss the other day and have worn it a few times. I have to say, this is stunning. I have it in the colour 'Lights Camera Action' which is a very pretty coral with shimmer. I  love this lip gloss, and for £6.99 you can't go wrong.

 

It stays on your lips for a reasonable amount of time and I have to say I was given multiple compliments whilst wearing it. The one fault it has it that it could have more pigmentation, so that it shows up a bit more on the lips. Although it does still give a beautiful glistening effect and really catches the eye.

 

I also absolutely adore the packaging, it really does look high end. It does claim that the lip gloss gives a three dimensional effect and that the shimmer in it changes colour, I do not agree with this although I do still really like the effect it gives.

 

I was really happy with this lip gloss as I think coral really suits my skin tone. I hope to buy more from this range as they are so gorgeous.

 

 

When life gives you one hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have one thousand reasons to smile.
