ITS ALL ABOUT THAT MOTIVATION

 

Well I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and New Year, When it is New Year I always use it as an excuse to reflect on the previous year/years. Today I saw a picture of me from about 1 1/2 years and I couldn't believe my eyes! I was astounded at the size I looked and how I could let myself personally get like that.

 

 I would love to have an excuse or a reason or even someone else to blame for my weight gain but it all truthfully boils down to me being lazy and over eating.

 

The photo that is displayed below is to show you what determination and a bit or willingness can do. The photo on the right clearly displays that I wasn't willing to do anything, I would rather of sat in my bed and ate all year round, until I had a reality check when I originally saw this picture.

 

The photo on the left was take 1 month ago, putting these pictures together side by side really motivates me and gets me in the mood to get back on track after the festive indulgent season. The difference between the photos in weight is 3 1/2 stone which might not be much to some people but it is a massive milestone for me. I cant wait to get back to the gym and working out again because I've forgotten what it feels like to feel the burn of progress!

 

 

I will be blogging my progress through out the year, how I work out and what I eat.

 

Thank you so much for reading!

Younique Look Book

 

I've been on board with Younique now since the 27th of November and id just like to say the response I've had, is astounding! I definitely underestimated the Younique business and thought that it isn't really worth the hype UNTIL! I received my kit and tried the products for myself. The pigment to the product is incredible, the primer makes my face feel silky soft and the fibre lashes.............well they are a god send!

 

When I first heard about the fibre lashes I thought to myself, people cant honestly be believing this! but the truth is there is something to believe in, I can say that this product have definitely stopped me buying useless lashes. The length and volume you can see build is simply remarkable and is completely on your terms!.

 

If you ever have the chance to purchase anything for younique then you will embark on a new need for this makeup!

 

Here is my Look Book with a few of the Younique products including the FIBRE LASHES!

 

Its so effortless to have fluttering lashes so, why not?

This week sam chapman (pixiwoo) uploaded a Donatella Versace makeup tutorial, click here to see the magic of Pixiwoo and be sure to subscribe to her channel.

 

I really liked this look even though it is a very heavy eye, which I don't always go for. Recreating this look was a treat, which is always the case when recreating a Pixiwoo look.

 

I didn't have the same stuff as Sam but I coped ok and still created what I thought was a pretty good match.

 

Base

MAC face and body foundation, with collection 2000 translucent powder and MUA bronzer.

 

Eyes

I used sleek oh so special palette for the eyes

I used bow for a base (substitute for m4 in smashbox full exposure)

On the mobile lid and underneath I used boxed (substitute for M1 in smashbox full exposure)

Along the lash line I used Noir along with blending to the side and a little underneith (substitute for M7 in smashbox full exposure)

On the upper and lower lash line I used Avon shock gel eyeliner

Mascara I used rimmel scandaleyes extreme black on the top, on the bottom I used MAC giga play in black.

 

 

 Lips

 

For the lips I used Avon pink pucker plumping pout

 

 

 

And that is how I recreated Pixiwoos Donatella Versace makeup !!

PRODUCT REVIEW | AVON

So as you may or may not know i am an avon representative, and have been for nearly 6 months. Every time im on a new campaign i always order myself something nice and new (you can never have too much avon stuff).

This was the new introduction to the eye shadow quads and this is the one i purchased in emerald cult. 

 I love this quad and everything about it !!

The pigment is just fabulous for something that cost me a mere £5 i think that's a BARGAIN !!

If you have an avon rep near you, just take a look in the book and try something new!, you may be surprised by the results !!

Nailed It !!

Nailed It!

 

So, recently I've been into my nail varnish and have been buying new nail varnish nearly every time I have some money. The brand I've been loving at the minute is Barry M, especially the Gelly Hi-Shine.



 

 

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Prickly pear £3.99

 

 My go to nail varnish at the minute is my Gelly Hi-Shine Prickly pear nail paint. I've literally bought 3 bottles of this shade because it compliments my skin tone and it is just a flattering colour and it seems to go with most things I wear. 

 

Barry M in Bright Purple £2.99

 

I like this shade, it goes on very smooth and dries quickly. Also its good if I've not got a lot of colour on clothes wise, just adds a little pop to the finished outfit. I also like to use it for polkadots on the Prickly pear if im a little bored on a Wednesday night. I got this one free because I bought it the same time as I bought two others as it was a 3 for 2 deal.

 

 

Barry M Marshmallow Confetti £3.99

 

I bought this nail varnish on a whim. I had no idea how it would look on the nail, I didn't look on reviews or any other blogs to see other peoples views. Its tiny little white pieces of confetti and you put it on any colour underneath. Personally I didn't like this nail varnish, its not my thing at all. I just don't like the overall effect it leaves, my sister on the other hand loves it and has every confetti colour there is.

 

 

These are all 3 of the colours together. these 3 amazing colours for just £7.98

 

The colours as codes just in case you wanted to purchase them !

 

 

anyway thanks for ready its very much appreciated.

 

bysie bye !!
