Simple Summer Makeup

 Hello Wallflowers,

 Recently, I went with my school to the Peak District camping. Obviously, I didn't bring my normal makeup so I thought it would be a good idea to share with you what i did bring if any of you are going camping or to a festival or simply just want an easier makeup routine.

 Garnier BB Cream (£12.99) & Soap and Glory, Kick Ass Concealer (£10) 

This concealer is perfect for travelling with two different shade concealers in, a translucent setting powder and sponge and a little mirror. You have everything you need in one. I use the darker and lighter shade under my eyes then the darker shade on any blemishes. The BB cream is very moisturizing and light weight as we don't really want to wear foundation in the heat. It is slightly on the shiner side meaning you do have to powder which is great with the concealer.

 Maybelline Rocket Volume- Waterproof (£7.99) & Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil- 004 (£2.99)

Mascara is obviously an everyday must have and can make you look more awake and this one gives you lots of volume, meaning you won't need an eyelash curler. This is also the waterproof formula meaning that you won't get panda eyes. Eyebrows frame your eyes like hair frames your face so filling them in makes you look more put together. With the brush at the end, this pencil is perfect.

Soap and Glory Eyeshadow Pencil- Velvet Pink & Brownie (£7.99) & Rimmel Eyeliner- 005 Nude (£3.99)

If you still want a bit of colour on your lid, this eyeshadow pencil is perfect as it comes in 3 different colour sets with two different shadows in. The lighter one in this set is called Velvet pink and is a perfect lid colour whilst the Brownie colour can be used in the crease or even as a liner. This cuts down on the sizing and because of the formula, you can blend with your finger. The nude eyeliner is perfect for brightening up your waterline and opening up your eyes without looking as harsh as a white eyeliner. 

 Revlon Lip Stain- Honey (£7.99) & Nivea Hydro Care Lip balm

Have a look at the second post on this blog as there is a full review for the Revlon lip stain but I thought this would be a great product as it means you don't have to reapply it often. It has a long lasting, natural colour. The lip balm is obviously just to keep your lips moisturized and also has SPF 15 which is fantastic if you are outside a lot.



Sorry this post was up so late again but I got back a bit late on the Sunday. Hope this gives you some ideas

Tawney's summer wish list

Hello Wallflowers,
                             Sorry this post is late, I was extremely busy yesterday. I am going to share with you my summer wish list. I don't know exactly what products i want but I know what items I want, so if you have any suggestions then comment below.

For school I need a new bag and a new pencil case. I have no idea what type so I think I shall have a look round this summer.

I need some new shorts for rowing and some denim ones would be nice.I have seen a green pair in topshop but I think I will have a look around when I go shopping in the holidays.

I am running low on t-shirts as I just go to get one and I feel like I don't have many so I need some summery ones, some simple everyday ones that could look a bit more dressy if worn with a statement necklace, and finally I need some baggy t-shirts.

I need to get some more jewellery as I have lost a lot of earrings, would like some statement necklaces and a simple silver ring would not make my hands look so bare.

Recently, I have heard a lot of good things about the Rimmel apocalips and have decided that I would like to get one as I haven't been wearing as much make up recently so I think something nice on the lips would just be a lot easier especially for summer and the weather we have been having recently.

If you have any summer wish list items then comment below as I would love to hear about them.

Doubles- Friendship

Hello Wallflowers,

There are usually three types of girls, the ones who have a close, best friend, the ones who have a number of fairly close friends and then the ones who are lucky enough to have both. I fall under the third category with different situations at home and at school. All of these girls have a hard job to maintain their friendships but I think the ones who have it the hardest are those who have one close best friend. They can never fall out because they don’t have another friend to fall back on. I was thinking, what makes a good friendship and I came up with a number of examples, the most important of which was trust. I know this sounds cheesy but it is.

I have a good example. Take Friday for instance, me and Tawney were in a rowing double, Tawney in the front (stroke) and me in the back (bow). Bow has the job to steer the boat. We went out and we started to row but something was wrong. The problem with the boat wasn't the fact that we weren't rowing properly or the boat was broken, the problem was that Tawney didn't trust me and to be perfectly honest, I didn't trust myself. We would always be cautious about how fast we were rowing so that if we went in the wrong direction we would have to time to fix it. Not going to lie, there were arguments in the boat but 9/10 everything went smoothly. The 1/10 was when I wasn't looking and we went crashing into the bank but it’s like that with anything. If you aren't being careful, your friendship will hit the bank and will be stuck there for a while. The good thing is that you can have another go like we did on Saturday and I’m pleased to say that it went well J.

I think this example can be applied to any relationship, whether it’s with a friend, a boyfriend or a family member. Your relationship may hit into the bank sometimes but all you have to do is wiggle around a bit and it will be out soon, if you don’t even try, you’ll just be stuck there, or worse, fall in.

Don’t know whether that helped anyone but I hope I was nice to read, was just some of my thoughts.

Love

My bath time essentials

Hello Wallflowers,
For this post I have decided to share with you my bath time essentials. There is a bit of a theme as a few of them are Avon as my mum does Avon as well as her normal job. Sorry for the picture quality as I have had to take them on my ipad not camera as well as this post being rather rushed.

Bubble bath:

I really like the smell of this bubble bath. It's not very expensive and it fills my bath with a lot of bubbles. It comes in a rather large bottle as well so it lasts a long time.

Bath bomb:

I absolutely love the smell of this bath bomb. It is like heaven. It is such a cute bath bomb as well, I actually think its called vintage rose but I'm not sure. I got it for my birthday which was a while ago but it is just too good to use, so when I usually have a relax day I will use one of my lush bath bombs which also smell really good.

Shampoo:

I have been using this shampoo recently because I feel like it leaves my hair feeling really good. It's really easy to brush afterwards as well so I am really likening the conditioner as well. These too are Avon and in Avon they are usually on offer which I think is really good.

Body butter/lotion:

I couldn't decide between these two products because I love them both so much. The only difference really between them is ones a lotion and ones a butter and the smells are so different but amazing. They both leave my akin feeling soft and hydrated which I love. Sometimes I can get quite dry elbows so I find using one of these is so much better for me.

Soap:

This isn't really that exciting, but we have got this soap for a while now. It smells really fresh and just leaves you feeling super clean and ready for the rest of the day.

Face mask:

I don't use a face mask really often and I have actually never used that one before. I bought it from superdrug when they were on offer as it looks quite unusual as I don't think I have seen one like this before.

Heat protection spray:

I haven't tried many heat protection sprays before but I think I will be going out to get some others and test what they are like. To me this spray doesn't smell the nicest but I like to use it to protect my hair as I straighten it quite a lot.
