Back to school : easy hair and makeup

Hey beautiful people, are lovey model (Amy, one of our best friends) has let us do a hair and makeup look for back to school. The makeup is really simple and easy to do definitely if you are late for school. As its easy to achieve I will start of with the makeup.

Makeup: 

First of all I applied concealer to the bottom of her eyes, top of the eyes and on any blemishes or redness then blended it. Because Amy's face is lovely I didn't want to add any foundation so I just used stay matte powder all over her face to set the concealer. Then I used a pink blush, I popped this on the apple of her cheeks and used a little bit of bronzer to contour. Now Amy's eyelashes are super long so I added a small amount of mascara to open her up eyes up a little. And lastly I just used a warm pink lip gloss to her lips.

This look is perfect if your school isn't so keen on makeup and is really helpful if you are running late.

Moving on to the hair: 

Ok so to recreate this hairstyle what you need to do is just curl the middle part of the hair by doing this you are adding volume to the hair and making it look like you have put a lot of effort in but really all your doing is using 1/2 an inch curling tong which takes about 5 mins. 

This is the curling tong I used its from babybliss. And that is it, really simple and pretty here is the look all together.

Hoped you like it . ❤❤❤

Back to school: essentials and stationary

Hey beautiful people, we have decided that this year we want to be organised and prepared for everything so here's is just some things we think are essentials to take to school.

Step 1 stationary: 

Colourful stationary is a must have if you learn better with bright colours like me . By this I mean highlighting certain words or writing a paragraph that's important in another colour. Also I have purchased these index pot-stick notes which are just for putting on important pages so its easier to find.  

I also have black pens as my school prefer us to write in black as when it comes to exams that's what we write in. 

Step 2 hand care:

Be prepared for germs take hand gel. Now that is a must have at school. And if you are like me and suffer from dry hands take your favourite hand cream. Mine is my body shop one but I have reviewed it on here before so check that out. 

Step 3 eyes:

I think we have all had those days where we wake up and are really tired and look it to, so if you want to make yourself look awake pop some white eye pencil through your waterline and no one will know if you are tired and it takes away the redness from your waterline and opens your eyes a lot more. The Barry m kohl pencil is amazing cause I'm really fussy with eye pencils I'm not a lover of them cause they hurt my eyes a bit, so I tried the Barry m one and its really creamy,highly pigmented, oh and cheap; and just a really nice pencil. 

Step 4 bad hair day: 

Always make sure you have an extra hair bobble and spare grips, just in case you have a bad hair day.And definitely for us Brits, cause i know how you feel when you've taken ages making your hair look really nice and then it rains, its the worst thing. Oh keep a look out for 5 easy back to school hair styles. 

These are just some things we have chosen because we think they are really important for school use.  

Back to school skincare

We are going to do a back to school series about lots of useful things and today's post is going to be 

About skincare. So here's what I use now it's not a full skincare routine because I just tend to mix it around a bit but here's what it is now. 

£4.49

So I use this simple foaming cleanser which is really nice and as it has a added moisturiser I don't use one. It leaves your face feeling clean and soft. It has 2 vitamins (pro-vitamin B5 and vitamin E) 

And 3 skin loving ingredients ( glycerin, chamomile, geranium). Oh and I use this day and night.

After I cleanse my face I use the simple triple action face wash.

£3.99

I have only started using this last night but I have falling in love with it and couldn't not put it in here so it is a face wash that helps fight spots and it really works. It doesn't leave your face feeling tight or anything which is a bonus cause I really hate that after I use one that does. It has got 3 spot fighting ingredients ( zinc PCA absorbs excess oils, chamomile skin soothing anti irritant and witch hazel tones and tightens pores) and 1 natural antibacterial (phytosphingosine helps fight spots and blemishes). 

And that is my skin routine I know it's small but if there is a new thing I like I will update on my skin routine but I'm very fussy when it comes to looking after my skin so I am looking into more products and giving a lot of things a try but at the moment this is all I do. I purchased both of these at boots which if you are from another country boots is are health and beauty shop also simple the brand is an English brand so if you want to get these you will have to get them on the Internet.
