Next Level Nude

Hello lovelies, having a nice weekend I hope.. I know I am he-he. Today's post is a review of House of Holland & Elegant Touch's 'Next Level Nude' nails. As I've told you guys before, I'm a nail biter. Always have been, always will be! But I do love having nail length hence why I wear false nails.

So far, these nails have lasted longer than any other nails I've purchased in the past. Day three and still no looseness, fingers crossed they'll hold on for the week. I've received an endless amount of compliments on the almond shape nude saviours, yes I went there.
I purchased these from Boots for 11 euro I believe!

Egyptian Inspired Makeup Look.

So today I decided I would practice my MUA skills and went all out with this Egyptian/bronzed look.
Slowly but surely with the help of all those other beauty genius', I am getting better and better.
The next goal I want to achieve is those brows of mine to be perfect, but we must remember brows are sisters .. not twins!

Products used:
~ Benefit Cosmetics "The porefessional"
~Rimmel match perfection foundation
~Collection lasting perfection concealer
~Stay matte pressed powder
~Essence brow kit
~L.A colours star gaze "makeout"
~Maybelline New York eye studio lasting drama gel eyeliner
~Rimmel scandal eyes mascara
~Essence lipstick "nude love" with Urban Decays Naked 2 half baked on top
~ Benefit Cosmetics "Hoola Bronzer"

The Daily Face

I thought since I like makeup, you like makeup ..why not show what I wear on a day-to-day basis!
Even though for the amount of products used, I think it still gives a natural look that is totally suitable for school,work,lazy days etc..

Base-
Okay so first after I moisturize, I use Benefit's the POREfessional as a primer.I personally love this because it's one primer that does what it's supposed to do... Keep the makeup on your face!!
Next I use LOreal Infallible 24H Foundation, I mean this is okay but doesn't give major cover up.
I then move in with Collection's Lasting Perfection Concealer, I only purchased this recently but so far it is doing a great job at hiding blemishes and dark circles.
Lastly I set my base makeup with Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder.

Eyes/brows 
I first go ahead and prime my lids with Benefits Stay Don't Stray, I FREAKING LOVE THIS.. Not meaning to be over-dramatic but I feel like it lasts for hours on end and doesn't let my eyeshadow move. I then move on to using Bootycall from the Naked 2 Pallette, (not in the picture) it helps me look awake when I'm really half-dead looking at 8:30 a.m heading to school.
The mascara I use is Rimmel London VolumeFlash Scandal Eyes!
And finally my last step in beautifying myself is filling in my brows withEssence eyebrow stylist set 01 natural brunette style, I feel and really know that I should buy new brow powder because this is nearly finished and I will cry if I can't fill in my brows.


So that's it very simple and basic but it makes me presentable! What does your 'everyday makeup' consist of?

What's In My Bag?

The day has come where I finally posted a 'What's In My Bag' post. I honestly thought I would never post one of these because 1- What I find in my purse surprises me most of the time 2- I rarely even carry a bag.
So without further or do lets get started (does these weird hand gestures in the air)

-My handbag is from Primark if anyone is wondering by the way-

WHAT'S IN YOUR BAG STEPHANIE?

• My purse which I bought from Primark, I personally love it because it was inexpensive and the colour screams 'SUMMERTIME'.
• My little notebook for blogpost ideas, don't worry my friends I have loads of ideas, wink wink. Just picked this up in Tesco.
• A pen because hey what am I going to write with? Got to have four colours though.
• Perfume to keep that sweet smell I have going on - by DKNY 
• I bring also a bottle of water, keep hydrated you guys!(I know its not in the picture) 
• My glasses because I can not see past a certain distance, blind as a bat I am.
• Lastly I have some lip butter by Nivea- oh my goodness this smells AMAZING.No exaggeration honestly.

Nothing too crazy I know but it's what I always bring with me. 

Ciao Bella.

She's got talent,she's got beauty and heck she's got a great fashion sense.Emma Stone has always been a personal favourite of mine and I love how she pulls off such simple dresses and clothing but with such elegance and class.At just 25 years of age she certainly knows her stuff in fashion let me tell you.Down below you will find some pictures of some of Emma's best looks( I couldn't fit them all in,there's just too many).
If Emma is a fave of yours, do comment and tell me what you love about her style!

Makeup Look Of The Week.

Alright so as everyone knows from my instagram( instagram.com/meelsieee ) that I tend to wear too much makeup but I LOVE it.
On Saturday I wore a dark pink lipstick and and a pop of pink on the eyes.
As I was wearing a mint green button up collar blouse, I thought "hey why not add some pink?"
The lipstick was not everyone's cup of tea, as my sister had told me she hated it.
I would like to hear from you guys what's YOUR favourite makeup look!

                                                                         

Little Cake Adventure

Yesterday I went on a little journey to a cake decoration shop just a few towns over and let me tell you it was AMAZING.

My culinary skills have never been great..barely made it pass setting the kitchen on fire during my cookery exam in school so let's just say I won't be looking for an occupation in the cooking area.

Getting back on track, the shop was just indescribable.They had nearly every decoration for cakes known to man.. I even had to ask my mam what half of the stuff was.

I thought I would show you just a teaser of what the shop holds.(Tease you with temptation more like!)

This had to be my favourite of all of them!

Kate Moss for Topshop

Hello Lovies!!
Kate Moss recently,yesterday in fact, just released her new clothing lines for TopShop and I am loving it!!!(no dramatic typing involved there at all).
Just to warn you all if you haven't seen it yet.. It's very flashy flashy y'know what I'm sayin?
But it wouldn't be Kate Moss if it wasn't fabulous like her.
If you love glitz and glam then I REALLY suggest you buy something but be careful because it could burn a whole in your purse,it is very expensive!(need them dolla dollas)
Anywhooooo, as my exams are reeling in closer and closer I can not decide when I'm available to post so just hang on in there for me:)

Healthy Lifestyle..Healthy You.

Hey my beauties!! I'm finally back after a much needed 'me' time, I just didn't have the time for blogging when I had my pre-exams and study to do.
Today's post is about(you probably already guessed it) health and fitness.
Recently I have been driven to obtain a healthy body and with support of my friends ..I am steadily getting to my happy and healthy body dream.
It might sound a little bit strange reading that but I assure you I am doing this to live a healthy lifestyle.
Down below, is all the foods that can help you get to your target or dream.
Green Tea:

Green Tea is known for its antidioxants and nutrients, it's is best to drink this with no milk so you receive the best  of the nutrients and antidioxants.
It is great for de-bloating,this will help with weight loss.

Chia seeds

Chia seeds are seeds that expand in your stomach giving a full feeling.

I usually put a hand full in my porridge in the morning as they will keep me fuller for longer in school and they're also high in omega 3.                                                     

Okay girls that's all in this post but I will have another one up in a day or two.

Stay classy,

Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Review!

Several months ago I went on a little makeup haul(okay I may have bought at least a bag full of makeup but that's not the point) and managed to come across the Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation, and  I have been using this ever since! It is a perfect day-to-day foundation as it is light and gives you a natural look. Now if you're looking for a foundation that gives you full coverage I suggest you look elsewhere because this is not the foundation for you, it helps cover blemishes but not hide them if you understand what I'm saying(or should I say typing) . It is quite on the pricier side at €35 but it is worth the buy I must add.Tell me what you think of this fab foundation  in the comments.
