The Best Birthday Ever :D

So as many of you may know, it was my 15th birthday on Friday (29th of October)and i really was not expecting many presents because i got my new laptop (a HP G62 by the way) a few months earlier as a very early birthday present, so when my parents presented me with what i got, i was so surprised! I feel so blessed and happy, but in no way am i trying to brag, i just got quite a few requests to show what i received, so i am :)

The main present i got on my birthday was my black blink lace up biker boots. I'm not sure how much they cost, but they are absolutely gorgeous! They are real leather and so comfy! I wore them out to the club on Friday and out to dinner on Saturday! Here is a picture of them, arnt they gorgeous?!



As well as that, i got a few little extra things, some fantastic colouring pencils for my art GCSE work, a new Marian Keyes book (Sushi For Beginners), some silicone cupcake cases (heart shaped :D) and a BEAUTIFUL freshwater pearl necklace from India. My dad had to go out there for work and he brought them back for me, they look stunning, i want to wear them all the time!




My brother is the sweetest creature on earth! On Thursday, he went to London sightseeing with my dad and his friend. They went to the Tower of London etc but also, they stopped by quickly at Selfridges at the MAC counter, because they knew i wanted some of the MAC Venomous Villains makeup, but it is all sold out online. I didn't know about this, and so i was so surprised when he presented me with 2 items from the collection! A cruella De Ville Lip Glass in Wicked Ways and an Evil Queen eyeshadow in Her Alter Image. They are both beautiful, here are the swatches:

Wicked Ways, it is a beautiful red/fusha colour with a shine to it, it is a frost.



Her Alter Image is a beautiful pale lilac colour, it is a veleux pearl.





After having a lovely lunch and chilling around, my two best friends, Zara and Ellen arrived. They gave me a perfume which i will do a separate blog post about, we went to the under 18s night club, here are some pictures of what i wore :)




We had a great night, and when we got back, it got even better when i discovered that my brother had made me a hello kitty birthday cake :) It was super yummy, but i managed to get a picture before we cut into it :)




So overall, a very good birthday! Thank you so much everyone! I love you all

Under the Sea :)

I have done what could be my last youtube halloween tutorial, and i decided to do a look inspired by Ariel from the little mermaid! She is my all time favourite character...EVER! Here is a little picture for your enjoyment :)



Though in the film, she doesnt actually wear, as she lives under water....DUH :P So i did a turquois and bluey/green eye look with matt red lips. This is how it looked after a bit of fidling :)




The eyes turned out really well!




And here are the lips :) Inspired by Ariels flaming red hair :D




I hope you enjoy the tutorial :)

Two Sides of Alice?

Yes, here we have another Halloween tutorial, i just cant get enough of them! I know that in the past i have made random videos like hauls, and a few fashion videos but i created a YouTube account so that i could make makeup tutorials, because that is what i am really passionate about! I hope you guys don't mind this because since i got my new laptop, i have been able to make some quite high quality tutorials, (or so i think :P)

This tutorial was requested, a tutorial for Alice In Wonderland, but i wasn't sure if the person meant a pretty, light blue Alice, or a more dark, depressed Halloween Alice, so guess what.... i did both! On one side of my face there is a pretty light blush, turquoise eyes and nude shiny lips, and on the other side, there is electric blue and black eyes, pale face and bright red lips. This way, if you wanted a good Alice, you could copy that part of the face and duplicate it on the other side, or vise verse if you wanted bad Alice. Or you could do both, like i have done! Here are some pictures of what it looked like :)


The two coloured lips:




Both Eyes:



All together now :)






I hope you enjoy this tutorial when it uploads to YouTube.
Thank you for reading!

Oh you Tinker....Belle ;)

I did another halloween tutorial today, i decided to do a more wearable, pretty look, so i chose to do a Tinkerbelle tutorial :) Tinkerbelles signature colour is green so i chose a few different shades of green for my tutorial. I also used some stick on gem-stones to give it a magical feel :)


Here is the finished look








Please check out the video :)

Cherry Nails :)

I was really bored today and i decided to have a go at paint some sort of design on my nails. I wanted to try to paint on a cherry design onto them and i was really surprised how easy it was! Here is a picture of the finished design:



Here is how to do it
You will need:
- a white/pale nail polish for a base ( i used Barry M Nail Paint in 282 french polish)
- a red nail polish for the fruit ( i use Nails Inc Tate)
- a green nail polish for the stork ( i use Barry M nail paint in NPG2)
- a top coat to finish it all off ( i use Lacura Top Coat)
- Some toothpicks





The first thing you need to do is paint all your nails with two coats of a plale/white nail polish for the base.



Next, take the red nailpolish and draw (with the toothpicks) two red dots onto the bottom of your nails



After that, take the green and gently join the two red dots. You can add a flick if you want to :).




To finish it off, apply a top coat.







I hope you enjoy this tutorial
