JUNE FAVOURITES!

Oh, hi! I bet you're all looking at your computers being like "wow, remember this sorry excuse for a Blogger / YouTuber." Well that makes two of us haha. This monthly favourites entry i'm gonna write about quite a lot of things. Blame Q-Con! I spent so much cash at that convention. If I had a shot for each time I visited a bank machine that weekend I think I'd be dead from alcohol poisoning. I was surprised Caitlin even put up with me that weekend. I was expecting her to be like "Hey, Schmelala, put the card away and it will all be fine!" But I would've just hugged her and told her everything was going to be OK to which she would've backed away slowly whilst everyone around me just stares and starts to whisper to eachother profanities about me. Ah well, haters gonna hate. I just laughed because I accidently typed 'haters gonna ahte' lol. Sometimes you make mistakes. Don't judge me guys.

OH MY GOD! I just heard thunder! I'm not lying guys! I'm quite afraid now. If I die you can all come to my funeral and play with the birds that will fly freely around the place and you can try and bring joy to those who are actually weeping because of my non-existence and you can also convince them to make cupcakes made of rainbows and glitter. I haven't tried them but they sound really good.

I can see this what-was-supposed-to-be quick message took a completely different turn. Now on with my favourites!

Movies & TV Shows

Spy

I was so excited to see this movie. Melissa McCarthy is truly one of my idols and she definitely made this a comedy masterpiece! Spy was one of the funniest movies of 2015 and I just want to go see it again! Plus Jason Statham was such a treasure to watch. Throughout the film he was idolising himself and kind of describes his life as if he is actually his character in the Expendables which was quite hilarious actually. I seriously recommend this one guys! 

★★★★★ (Yes I just added those stars because I think I am something!)

Clannad

I haven't really watched anime in years (with the exception of Studio Ghibli movies) but I decided to give Clannad a chance and I mean it; NO REGRATS REGRETS! I haven't come across anime quite like Clannad. It's such a beautiful story with lovely characters. The story focuses on a young high school student called Tomoya who is quite sheltered due to his life at home but he meets a girl named Nagisa who wants to start up the school drama club. Tomoya helps her with this whilst also helping other students around the school. Seriously, this ones a tear jerker guys! I think fans of Angel Beats would like this!

Games

This game played such a big role in my childhood. I think it was the first game I ever played on the Nintendo 64 and I used to really love it. Recently my brother got the X-Box version of Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie and I haven't stopped playing both games! Just reliving my childhood and crying whilst eating cheetos. 

I will honestly admit that these two games will always be the best of the whole BK franchise. I don't think Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts would be of any interest to me. Not to mention they changed the way most characters look. Mumbo does not rock those dungarees!  

Also when I was writing this part I was singing what I was typing to the theme of inside Grunty's castle. This is why I'm such a fun, creative and free spirit! *Fist pumps the air*

Food

I got this mochi from Starry Asian Market for £1.95 which is actually quite a good deal. Seriously I went to Yo!Sushi and got two pieces of mochi for nearly £4.00. Such a ripoff. So I got this box online and it was only £1.95 for 6 pieces. If you guys are looking for some mochi or any other japanese treats Starry Asian Market is the best place to go.

For those of you who don't know what mochi is, it is basically a doughy ball filled with red bean paste and it's covered in flour. It's like Marmite; you either like it or you don't. As for me, I love it.

Fashion

H&M Divided - 'I'm Jealous of me too' Dress

My lovely friend surprised me with this dress from H&M. It's so retro but in a fancy and quirky way. You can wear this dress during the day or the night depending on what you wish to wear it with. You decide.

I wore it with a black fedora, black lace up boots and fishnet tights as I tend to go for a more edgy styled look but this dress also goes nice with bright colours. It would look nice with a bright and colourful necklace. I seriously recommend this dress for fans of retro and unique clothing. H&M are literally the best!

Enderman hat

I love Minecraft and I'm such a fan of the Endermen (too busy blocking out the haters). So when I saw this hat at Q-Con I was "Awww, you are definitely coming home with me."  It's so cosy and looks really adorable on. Now I just snuggle with my Enderman teddy and act like another Enderman (this is why i'm single).

Thank you so much to DizziiDesigns and Magician's Merch for being brave and selling this to me haha.


Cosmetics

Due to my decision to cosplay at Q-Con this year I was gonna need longer hair. I purchased these hair extensions from Lush Hair Extensions and they were £80 (i think) which is quite a good price for real hair extensions. You can wash these and style them however you like. They are 20'' which is pretty long. I've haven't really bought hair extensions before so I don't have much experience with them. But I'll be honest and say these are quite amazing. I highly recommend them for those who are unfortunate like me and are cursed with short hair who long for a longer weave. *Cries in a corner*


WELP! That's all for today guys! Don't forget to follow me on the YouTube and Instagram and many other social media sites. And feel free to contact me! Until next time. Bye! <3

Beauty Haul! // H&M, BOOTS & MANY OTHER WONDERFUL PLACES

Hey there guys! The other day I went on a huge shopping spree and over spent a bit and I want to share with you the products that I bought. I really recommend all of them!

Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder (£23.50)




I found this life saver in Debenhams. This bronzer is the best I've ever used and I'm not even joking! I was told that it matches all skin tones which is 100% true! I love it and it was totally worth spending £23.50 on! I strongly recommend this product guys!

Bourjois Paris Volume Clubbing Ultra Black Mascara (£7.99)


I remember getting this mascara for Christmas years ago and was so happy when I found it in Boots the other day! It makes my lashes dark, thick and long just how I want them to look everyday! And it only costs £7.99! So worth it!

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (£3.99)


I have been searching far and wide across the country for the perfect concealer! Since I'm so pale I could never find the right shade as they were all too peachy or dark. But a friend recommended this beauty of a product to me and I promise this, it's the best concealer I have ever used. It stays on all day and leaves your skin looking bright and healthy. I couldn't see any red areas in my face! It costs £3.99 which is also very affordable!

Rimmel London Colour Rush Balm (£5.99)


I love this balm so much! It leaves my lips feeling really soft and also gives them intense colour! Even after eating lunch and having tea my lips were still vibrant looking! I got this balm at Boots. Seriously, girls! Go get one now!

Natural Collection Moisture Shine Lipstick (£1.99)


Wow talk about another amazing and affordable product! The Natural Collection sells their lipsticks for just £1.99! Talk about bargain! They have many colours ranging from nude to cherry. The lipstick above is called 'Pink Orchid' and is such a pretty colour. It not only leaves my lips looking shiny but I can also see it leave them shimmering also! I found this lippy in Boots!

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder (£3.99) & Real Techniques Powder Brush (£12.99)


I literally am in love with these two products. Before I found this Real Techniques product I was using a really cheap powder brush which barely applied powder preventing my foundation from setting. But this brush is really worth it! It applied powder evenly around my skin and my foundation lasts longer. I got the brush in Boots as well as the powder. Stay Matte powder is so amazing! As well as concealer I had problems finding powder that matched my skin tone. So I was pretty pleased to find this! It stays on all day and matches perfectly!

Divided Wool Hat (£14.99)


I was always tempted to buy one of these and I'm so glad I did, It makes me feel like one of the witches from American Horror Story: Coven. It seriously makes you look 100 times more classier than you already are. I got in in H&M which is my most favourite shop ever! They have a wide range of these hats so you can try on as many as you like until you find the perfect one! 


When I tried this one on I knew it was the perfect hat for me and to be honest, I think everybody can pull it off! Snaps and claps for H&M and Divided for never failing to make me feel stylish!

So that's is it for today! Hope you guys enjoyed this post! You can keep in touch with me through my:


Until next time!

13 Life Hacks every Girl should know!

Hey guys! Do you ever go out wearing a bright new lipstick only to find 80% of it is on your teeth? Do you ever get disgusting green marks from wearing jewelery? The better question is; Want to know how to prevent the things in life that annoy you? Then check out some of the girl life hacks that I have listed below!

1. Store your hairclips/bobbypins in an empty tic tacs container!



2. To stop lipstick from getting on your teeth, put your finger in your mouth and form an 'O' around it. Slide your finger out and it should have a ring of lipstick on it. At least it's not getting on your teeth!



3. Put elastic bands on your hangers to prevent the clothes falling off!



4. Put your mascara wand under a running hot water tap. This prevents your mascara from being clumpy!



5. Brush your lips with vaseline to get super soft lips! It also plumps them up a bit too!



6. Paint the inside of cheap rings with clear nail polish so you don't get those disgusting green marks around your fingers.



7. If you're in hurry and haven't got time to iron your clothes which have a wrinkle in them, just use hair straighteners!


8. Apply foundation in a downwards motion to give your face an airbrushed finish.


9. Apply vaseline to your wrist or neck before spraying your perfume. This will make the smell last longer!



10. Use cotton buds to get rid of eyeliner mistakes.


11. Highlight your brow bone and the inner corner of your eye with white eye shadow to make them pop!


12. Line your waterline with white eyeliner to make your eyes look bigger!


13. After applying lipstick, outline your lips with foundation or concealer to give the illusion of perfectly sculpted lips!

Valentines Day: What to wear!

Hey guys! So, it's near that romantic time of year again and you're probably out looking for cute outfits to wear on Valentines Night with your besties or even with that special someone. Even if you're just out with your friends, at least you'll still look classy!



Cute and Casual
If you're going on a simple date to the best coffee shop in town or the movies, try going for a really casual look. Preferably skinny jeans with a cute t-shirt that is Valentine's Day themed with some cute flats. As for makeup, go for a natural look with a slight winged eye liner look with a lovely shade of coral on your lips. Try putting your hair in a half up-half down style. It won't be too fancy nor too under done therefore all the attention will be focused on your beautiful face.

Sexy and Seductive
So, maybe you'll be going out for a romantic dinner for your date or maybe you'll be hitting the club with your friends. You should step out in a striking red dress with heels. Try this look with smokey eyes and a deep red lipstick. Try teasing your hair or maybe even curling it to give that seductress look. The attention will be on you all night!
