What's In My School MakeUp Bag ?

 So getting ready to go back to school has been crazy, and summer has flown way too fast. Even though I should of done this blogpost earlier, I am going to show you what's in my mini back to school make up bag. Now I don't wear a lot of makeup to school, and I don't take my foundation and everything to school because I don't need it, but I do have a few things in a makeup bag, so if i need to, I can top up my makeup throughout the day!

So here is my makeup bag, I bought this off Primark because they have a nice range of them and they are super cheap. This one has a leather texture, it's cream and has black polka dots on it.. It was £2.50 or £3, which is a bargain. I picked this one up because it is an ideal size and I liked that is has 2 zips, because it has 2 compartments.

 So the first thing I have in my makeup bag is Soap And Glory Hand Food, which is just a small travel size hand moisturizer that I got from Boots for £2.50. It smells amazing and keeps my hands feeling super nice all day long.

The next product is my most definite 'Must Have' that you should all own. It's one of my Baby Lips Lipbalms. I keep the clear one in 'Hydrate' in my makeup bag, because I don't want any colour on my lips, but this is amazing for moisturizing my lips. These are £2.99 and I highly recommend them to everyone.

 Next is a new found love for me, it's an eyeshadow pencil/crayon from Collection, and it's amazing. I don't wear heavy eye makeup for school, but I like to have a little bit of colour on my eyelids and these are perfect. I have the light pink one, and it's creamy and makes a difference but it isn't too crazy! They are also super cheap, and they last all day. They are perfect for a natural looking makeup look. They are metallic and not matte, but they just look natural and gorgeous on all eye colours.

 Every girl, should have a pressed powder in their makeup bag, especially if they have oily skin. I carry mine because adding a bit of powder half through the day, will keep your makeup looking fresh. I use Barbara Daly pressed powder from Tesco, which is very good but I would also recommend Rimmels Stay Matte Powder.

Also in my makeup bag, I keep one of my mascara's. Recently I have been loving Maybelline's Great Lash mascara. I love it because it has quite a small brush, so your eyes don't look heavy, it isn't clumpy, and it also doesn't smudge. But it's very handy to keep a mascara in your bag, if you have to top it up through the day.

It's also very handy to keep a little purfume or spray in your bag, so you are smelling lovely all day long.
I like to keep a mini Jack Wills Fontwell Scent perfume in my bag, as it smells amazing! And it's really handy  because it's a little rollerball perfume, and it's the perfect size to keep in my bag.

For body spray, I like to keep it cheap and simple, so I use Impulse, which is a really nice and cheap brand, that have their sprays in most shops. I love their new scent 'Sweet Smile'. If you're looking for a cheap spray, then go and check out the Impulse range, because they have such a variety of scents.

I just find it really handy to have a spray in your bag, to keep topped up throughout the day.

The next item, I simply can't live without.. A concealer. As a teen girl, concealer will be your best friend, and to me it's essential. It will keep you looking fresh throughout the day and it will cover up any breakouts and correct anything. I have been loving Maybelline's FIT Me concealer, Collection's Lasting Perfection concealer and Miss Sporty's Liquid concealer.

Lastly, I would always keep a compact mirror in my bag. Not to be vein, but to check how you're looking throughout the day.

I haven't included everything, but I have covered the essentials..You could even pop in some little things, such as bobbles and clips.
I hope that this has been helpful, and given you some ideas on what to include in your makeup bag. Sorry that this post has gone up when everyone is already back at school.

Primark Holiday Haul! Part 1 For Portugal

So if you haven't guessed yet, this is my Primark Holiday Haul. So this is what I have bought over my last 2 trips to Primark for my holiday in a couple of weeks time. By all means, i'm NOT trying to brag, I just thought i'd let you know what I have bought because Primark isn't available online, so by people like myself showing you some clothes and accessories, you might spot something you like, also Primark is fairly cheap it's not like i'm doing a haul about loads of stuff from *insert dear high end clothes hop*, haha. Enjoy.

So I was a little naughty.

If you haven't figured out yet, I have a slight obsession with aztec print. So the first thing I purchased was this nude and black coloured aztec print bikini. It's from the Ocean Club section in Primark, which is basically all the holiday stuff. It was only £4 and I think it's just cute.

 Next thing I bought are these red and white wedged flip-flops. I really wanted the navy blue and white ones but the past three times I've been there, they haven't had my size so I just got the red ones. I just quite fancied ones with a bit of a wedge and they were only £3. Also, they're really comfy.
This dress, is probably one of my favourite summer buys. As some of you may know, I'm not usually a dress person but I really liked it. I have seen quite a few people with these dresses on and they just look so nice. Its a stretchy bodycon dress that goes just past the knees, it's tight but stretchy and it shows your figure nicely. I got in a nude and blue/grey aztec print. I think on holiday, I could wear it in the day time or dress it up at night. This type of dress is available in loads of shops but the main reason I bought it off Primark, is that I liked the pattern and it was only £10, which is really good because the quality is good for that price.

I then and purchased two loose fitting crop tops. Mainly because they are nice to just throw over a bikini on holiday, but also, in the summer I like to wear them with high waisted shorts. I got a plain khaki army coloured one that was only £3. Then I picked up a Disney Mickey Mouse one, which has a grey background with Mickey & Minnie mouse all over it, that was £6 but it is really cute and I can't wait to wear it.

I got these shorts. I got them in grey and burgundy. They were £3 each and are really good value. I would just wear them in the day time on holiday and sometimes I just wear shorts like this around the house because they are really comfy. If you haven't got a pair of these then seriously you should try them.

I also just picked up some footless sock things. I'm not too sure what you call them, but I like to wear them with vans because it still looks like your not wearing socks, but it saves you getting blisters. I got 2 pairs for £1.30.



The second to last thing I picked up, was these sunglasses. Last year, I bought these but in brown and I constantly wore them, so when I saw them back in stock then I went and got another pair. They are great because they block the sun (obviously) and you can still see through them easily. They are only £2, which is a great bargain.

So the last thing I purchased was the white/beige and black aztec print bag. Obviously because I needed a bag, then I had to choose the aztec one. I was looking for quite a big-ish bag because I wanted to use it as an 'aeroplane bag' to use for my upcoming holidays. So when I saw this, with it's lovely print I had to have it. It has a long strap so you can wear it on your shoulder and short straps to wear it on your arms. It was only £10 and it is just perfect and is exactly what I was looking for. So when you see my blog about my holiday, you'll bound to see a picture of it because I know that I will get a lot of use out of it.

Are You Yourself ?

This is just a quick blog to those people out there that aren't the most confident of people.
 I've had life quite easy because I haven't really ever gone through anything major. I'm not here to brag at all but I had a great childhood and have never been bullied so I never really understand how people can become depressed over things.  I have a few friends that are scared to tell people things, afraid to stand up for themselves. Which is hard for me to understand because I'm quite a confident person.
One friend in particular puts herself down all the time because she doesn't look the same as someone else, or doesn't have the same figure as someone else. What she doesn't understand is that we all look different for a reason, I find that you shouldn't compare yourself to anyone else, because if god wanted us to be the same he would of made us all the same. Everyone's unique and it takes a while for people to understand that.
If you have boy troubles, if you think your not good enough because you don't think your pretty enough, or skinny enough then your wrong. Don't think that just because your different that your not good enough  Your fine the way you are. If your not happy the way you are then change it otherwise you might have to deal with it. ''Don't Be A Girl That Needs A Man, Be A Girl A Man Needs''.
If that person really likes you then they will accept you for who you are. But if they are embarrassed to be with you then they're not worth it. If that person doesn't like you because your not the 'barbie perfect' type then it's their loss.
Don't change for anyone, and be confident for who you are.
Much Love x
