Back To School || Makeup

                   

    

School is just around the corner! We all need a quick makeup routine for school because we're up early and only have so much time to get ready. Makeup for school should be light but also show that we made an effort haha.

Foundation isn't necessary unless you want it but if you do decide to wear foundation, try a light coverage. It doesn't look as cakey and heavy, and plus you won't get in trouble for "wearing too much makeup". I use the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation!

To hide those bags under our eyes, use an under eye concealer! Heck even go a shade lighter than your skin-tone so it makes you look more awake. Bourjois CC eye cream.

For mascara, you want one that will last all day and not melt down your face from the slightest tear from yawning. Mascara opens up the eye, making it look bigger than it is. Perfect. Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara.

Filling in your brows and putting on lipgloss is optional, it's up to you. Tidy eyebrows frame a face, remember. To show that you spent time on how you look, add some gloss to that pout. Rimmel London eyebrow pencil & Essence lipgloss.

Transition With Topshop

   

By transition I mean with Fall clothing, by TopShop I mean the love of my life. I HATE cold weather with a passion, I shouldn't be living in Ireland eh? Ironic really. The fashion makes it good enough for me not to cry about missing Summer. TopShop have really up their game with AW15 clothing ..love it (how perfect does Gigi Hadid look in their campaign? heart eyes)  

   

  

 

Celeb Street-Style 2015

2015 has been a good year for fashion, especially celebrity fashion! Never mind watching what they're wearing on the red carpet, how about what they wear on an everyday basis? Street-style not only catches our attention but also fuels our desire to create our takes on the infamous looks.

Get Fit With Steph!

Okay so this is always a hard subject to blog about because I tend to give up easily on things like this, and I shouldn't because this is important for my health. I recently got this inspiration from looking at fitness posts on Instagram (while I munched on a bag of crisps...don't judge me). So I was delighted when I looked at my subscriptions on YouTube to find Nathalie Paris had posted a health & fitness video. That girl has a seriously rocking body!

To get a "bikini body" it is 80% diet and 20% fitness. I never stick to a "diet" but I try to watch what I eat but I will be a lot stricter from today. My current food goal to work towards is to give up soda. I'm a sucker for Coca-Cola. If you look up what soda does to your body,it will make you feel sick. 

I found the app "PumpUp" which is basically an Instagram from fitness! Not only are you able to get inspiration from others on it, you can create workouts that you want. If you want to work those abs.. no problem! Abs it is! If you want to track your weight...gotcha covered hunny.

Remember we're in this together, we're here to support each other in this journey that will benefit us.

Top 5 Perfume List.

                      

I love a good perfume, being able to smell fresh and beautiful is just one thing I live for. Now I have a big perfume collection and when I say big...I mean I have no where to put most of it.( girl problems y'know) Now I never have to go perfume shopping because I'm alway assured that I'll recieve one or two as gifts for my birthday or for Christmas. I managed here to whittle down my top five that I wear the most. 

Starting off the list is the "DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom"Perfume! Unfortunately I'm down to the last spritz of this but also shows how much I loved this. Such a sweet and airy kind of scent .. Perfect for day time because it's not too heavy scented and won't hit anyone in the face when you walk by.

Next, is the Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue perfume. Anytime any women older than myself ask me "what perfume are you wearing?", they always get shocked when I say EA 5th Avenue..why? Because apparently it's an older women perfume. If I like the scent I'm going to wear it .. No matter what my age haha.

Ahhh yes, Christina Aguilera Red Sin! I always got compliments of this in school from girls. When I first seen it I thought it was just going to be a typical celebrity perfume.. cheap and not going to last long but boy was I wrong. It should be a sin how nice this smells. 

Okay so technically this Ted Baker spray is a body spray but I had to include it. I'm a sucker for anything Ted Baker in Boots so when I seen this I instantly had to buy it. The only fault I find is that it doesn't last long but I like to just freshen up with this so I still have use for it. 

Lastly is the Tommy Hilfiger 'Tommy Girl' perfume. This is more of a husky kind of perfume so just a small spritz of this is plenty. If you spray to much, you're just going to choke yourself up and others around you. When first sprayed it is a bit of a heavy scent but once it starts to fade the after scent is just devine. 

How To Relieve Yourself From Stress!

                        

The one problem everyone can relate to...stress!! No matter what the case is whether it's work,school, relationship issues, everybody gets stressed at some point of their lives. Too much stress is bad for your health so it is always important to relieve all that negative tension.

How you can relieve stress is different for everyone, some of my tips may not work for others but if you find something that works ... Try it! Maybe even tell me your tips.

Pamper Evening.

A little pampering session never went astray once in a while. Pull out your best pyjamas & slippers,root for your favourite face mask, play that cheesy romance movie you love and have "me" time. 

Listen To Music.

Music tends to create the type of mood we're in, upbeat song leads to a happy mindset where as a slow sad song leads to an unhappy mindset. Listen to your favourite cheerful songs and have a cheeky dance around the house. Trust me it helps.. I've tried it.

Meditate.

Take a few minutes to focus on you, your breathing and your posture. Whether it be ten minutes or or thirty...whichever you decide is right for you. Remember deep breaths.

 Online Shopping.

Now you may think this is a joke but it's not.Girl you gotta treat yourself! Buy a few things that you may like or have been eyeing up for the past while. Make yourself feel worth it because you are.

July Faves!|2015

                      

How fast did July pass? I can't believe it's August already. As you might have known from my Instagram, I spent a lovely week in Ibiza! Such a beautiful place Santa Eulalia is and so peaceful too.

Seeing as I was there, I didn't use as much makeup as I usually would so I have only a few beauty faves this month. But at least I have enough for a post right?

The first favourite of this month is themakeup bag from Primark!

I brought this on vacation and it fit all my makeup and my jewellery ... Handy!

Second favourite is this anklet I bought from River Island!

It had coin-like charms and I thought it was very unique. There is something about anklets that I love ...

Next is Maybelline lash Sensation Mascara!

I mentioned this in my review post and I still feel the same about it. Love love love!

These Cat-Eye Glasses from New Look!

How fab are these? The cat flick style just made a classy look and a big plus was that they are dark lensed and blocked out the harsh sun of Ibiza!

Lastly is the Bourjois 123Perfection CC Eye-Brightener!

Now this doesn't conceal dark circles but just helps brighten up the area. I also used this on the bridge of my nose and other highlighting areas. A tip from me would be to use a damp beauty blender instead of a brush, it doesn't blend it as good.

Favourite House Decor Pins| #1

I don't know whether it's just me that searches up homes for sale just to look at the interior hehe. I feel interior tells the type of person someone is and how they were feeling at time of designing. From the age of 13 (wow nearly 4 years ago) I have always loved to try new things with my bedroom. Right now I am interested in light and airy, think white and pastel colours.

I thought I'd switch up what I blog about sometimes and voila this subject was created!

How would you design your home?
