Make-up Swaps for Winter! This for That!

Winter days are getting closer and closer, so we'll all be fishing at the back of our closets for those woolly jumpers very soon!
My point is, clothes change, so does make-up. And not just the colours and the looks - the products, too!


Lips:
Drop: Lipgloss
Pick up: Lip Stain + Lip Balm

Yup, lipgloss may be fun, but piling on layers and layers isn't gonna cut it - it might make your lips feel suckish. Instead, use a sweet scented lipbalm, which will add shine! If you're keen to have colourful lips, apply a lip stain, let it dry, and go over it with lip balm!
Cherub’s Blush Cheek & Lip TintSuperdrug Little Green Lip Tin Aloe Vera
MeMeMe stain, £5.50 + Superdrug's lip balm tin, £0.99


Cheeks:
Drop: Powder blush
Pick up: Cream blush

Powder blush will look dull, chalky and cakey - especially on dry skin. That's why you should try a cream blush, which is ever so easy to apply (just dab on the cheek apples with finger, and blend circular way outwards). It will give you a fresh and sweet look. 
Don't wanna spend cash on new blush? Take a bit of powder, and add some moisturizer to it and mix together!
MUA Cream Blusher, £2 each! Sweet.


Eyes:
Drop: Kohl liner
Pick up: Liquid eyeliner

Liquid eyeliners will hold much better throughout the cold weather, whereas kohl can smudge and disappear slowly. Liquid liners go great with shimmery eyeshadows too, which are on this season's it list!
Dip It Eyeliner-Indigo-Blue
Sleek Dip-It eyeliner, £4.49


Quick swaps:
  • Waterproof mascara - so that you won't end up with smudges, especially when it snows!
  • Winter colour nail polish - berry shades are so now, like fuchsia, wine red, and blueberry.
  • Sparkles! Eyeshadows, eyeliner, cheek shimmer, anything! Perfect for parties.
  • Metallic cream eyeshadows! Look good, even for school.

One Direction VS The Wanted!!

Twitter is exploding right now as two most popular boybands in the UK (except for JLS) are having a continuous fight over the website. Not a jokey-jokey one, a down right dirty one.
It all started with two guys. So are you #teamzayn or #teammax

Ding, ding, ding! Round 1!

Zayn Malik (1D) commented on a photo of Max George (TW), where he was photographed with PSY, and called him a geek - not very nice!

Zayn: ‘The first step is acceptance #geekoftheweek.’ (how nasty!)

Max: ‘Does that mean I’m ‘in’?

Zayn: ‘I'm not sure why your still talking to me mate conversation ended when I called you a geek. p.s your display just how's how much of a wannabe you are :)’
Max: ‘That's not very nice. I was just starting to like you and your RnB hits.’ (lol, more like bubblegum sugar pop)

After this, bandmate Tom Parker (TW) joined in to help out his bud.

Tom: ‘I think “1 stripes” got his knickers in a twist bro,’ (reffering to Zayn's blonde streak in his hair quiff)

Zayn: ‘Mate if I had a face like yours my hair would be the last thing I'd worry about :).’ (please stop sayinng 'mate')

...and Louis (1D)...

Louis: ‘pipe down bad boy’

Max: 'No dramas peeps its all just flirting! Haha.'

Zayn: 'Clearly some people are not very familiar with flirting :).'
(buuurnn)

LOL! Tom then posted an ironic pic of Zayne doing 'puppy dog eyes' with a chavvy "Bradford bad boi" (can you smell the sarcasm?) as a caption. 
"Bradrofd bad boi"
Zayn: ‘Let's not even start discussing vocal ability boys ;) would love to chat gotta run though rehearsals.’

Max: 'Enjoy rehearsals. Stay off the bud... It clearly makes u cranky.' (In other words, is Zayn on his period?)

Ding ding ding! Round 2! (I'm guessing, after rehearsals...)

Zayn: 'Alright chlamydia boy ;)' (too far?!)

Max: 'shut it or I'll take your dinner money. :)' - next tweet - 'tell me you're problems without the 8 security in NYC.. The only problem I have with you is the shit banter. Grow up son.'

Zayn: 'id fucking love to, see you in new York big man ha u clown' ('fucking'? keep calm, there's 8 year olds following you!)
Max: superb (a simple 'superb' to have the final word. Literally)


Verdict: To be honest, TW were more laid back in this fight, while Zayn took is really seriously  I can see him steaming up behind his keyboard! I don't like either of the bands to an advantage, so I'm being completely fair. The Wanted won this fight. Zayn was more immature, although it is also not very grown up from TW to fight back. Oh well, there's no harm in a little fight!

What do you think? Are 1D getting too big for their boots? Or will you put on your diretioner army suit and go tweet your way through against TW?


Damn, and they say girls are catty. Meow! x

Save money on Christmas gifts for friends!!

Ugh, it's that time of the year again. Yay for Xmas. Boo for trying to find respectable presents for your friends. The problem is, it ain't cheap. Even if a lipgloss costs £2, and there's like 10 friends in your group, you'll spend a lot!

Unless you do a Secret Santa, that is! Duuurh.


It's really fun!


¯   Cut out as many pieces of paper as there are friends in your group (don't leave anyone out!)
¯   Each write your name on top, and your likes and dislikes below. Try to be vague and don't be too picky, you want to be surprised, no? An example:

Katie P
I like anything pink, hair and lip stuff (especially lipglosses), cheap ballet pumps, sweets (hint hint, nudge nudge), jewellery..
I don't like perfumes (allergic), books and gift cards - oh I hate gift cards! lol.

¯  Fold your little piece of paper over, and throw it into a hat or something.
¯  Now each pull out a random piece of paper from the hat! Now you have someone else's piece of paper. This is the person you'll get a present for! (If you pick out yourself, shout it out asap so you can start again and trade!
¯  Remember, this is anonymous, so you can't tell anyone who you've got. Now get their present, wrap it up and arrange a present opening day! If you really want to stay anonymous, wrap the gifts, stick a label with the name of the receiver and throw it under a Christmas tree, then later, each find your present and unwrap! Wahey!


¯  TIP: Arrange a budget price! For example, nothing above £8 or so. This is so that one person doesn't get nice, pink dress with flowers + sequins sewn on and another a chewing gum *sob*. (This actually happened at my school).


Yay! This way everyone will get one nice present without spending too much money. Plus, you'll have a rough idea what to get thanks to the like/dislike guide!

All Artists, listen up! (Sketchbook ideas)

So, if you're doing Art GCSE, A-level or any other level, your teachers might stress you to create nice backgrounds for each page and layouts, or maybe you just want to make your sketchbook look pretty.. Lucky for you, I found some ideas online, which might give you some ideas and expand that little mind of yours.


  • A simple watercolour wash over the whole page makes a nice background, which won't draw attention away from your work.
  • Make boarders around the page and the drawings you stick in.
  • Paint the whole page black, then paint a white boarder around your papers you stick in for a nice effect!
  •  Use watercolour paint for the whole page, now take another colour, apply it to the top of the page (with lots of water), tilt your sketchbook and let it leak down the page, and the colours may diffuse into eachother.
  • Scribble all over the page and fill in some sections with crayons.
  • Stick in newspaper and use watercolour over it - even seen pink newspaper? I have - in my sketchbook!
  • Coffee! Put some coffee granules in a cup, and water in another. Now apply granules on page and with brush and water, spread around the page (the coffee granules will 'melt' and will be easy to use like watercolour). Hmm, the smell!
  • Teabags! Use a teabag and water, and spread around the page - brown colour should come off the teabag (just make sure not to break the teabag, but if you do, use glue to set the little pieces for a textured effect).
The other great thing to do is scrapbooking paper under your annotation texts or small pictures! Lucky for you, I found a great, free source of vintage-look scrapbooking paper that you can print!

Layering by bloggers (and Vanessa)!

Easy, as long as you do it right! Take tips from these celeb and bloggers!
A chambray shirt doesn't only look good over a t-shirt, but under a
sweater too! Vanessa Hudgens.
Wear two jackets - maybe blazer and faux leather
jacker? Danielle Bernstein.

Long coats are great, especially with dresses and skirts, and scarves! Raspberry and Red.




Same lenght layer and your skirt looks great - as a shield almost.
Kolorowa Duzsa.
Shirt, sweater, and a sleeveless jacket - make sure the shirt is visible at
bottom and you can even roll its sleeves over the sweater! Allegra Zers.
