-Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?

Liquid mainly but pencil occasionally if I use eyeliner on my water line

-How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?

All the time! You don't understand how many times my concealer has to be redone and foundation touched up! I have taken to doing my eye make-up first because of this!

-What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?

Love them! I mean they are just so pretty:)

-Do you use mineral makeup?

Sometimes

-What is your favorite lipstick?

I can honestly not answer that! I love so many lipsticks for so many different reasons but look out for a video on my current favourites;)..

-How about lipgloss?

All of Tanya Burrs are incredible!!

-What is your favorite blush to use?

At the moment I love love love Sleek Rose Gold it is BEAUTIFUL OJHGOSH

-Do you buy your makeup on ebay?

No only ever nail varnishes! It honestly makes me so nervous and you have no idea if it is fake or not!

-Do you like drugstore makeup?

Ofc it's everybody's starting point when it comes to make-up and there is so many incredible drugstore make-up brands there with such a range of products, many of my favourite brands are drugstore and I tend to prefer them over higher end brands a lot of the time!

-Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)

I have but not so much and of recent no:(

-Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?

No I have always enjoyed learning about make-up but I prefer to do that from the comfort of my own home watching YouTube Tutorials and teaching myself, I just find it so much more fun that way, I love to learn things independently and it is so much cheaper!

-Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?

I can be, I mean we all have the occasional issues with eyeliner and getting them wings right or getting that contouring bang on;)

-Name a makeup crime that you hate?

I don't hate anything, If someone does something with their make-up that I personally wouldn't then there is nothing wrong with that, Why should it bother me? You know whatever, if it makes them happy then that is all that matters and people shouldn't shame someone for how they like to do their make-up Just because I wouldn't like it on me or they wouldn't like it on themselves, If you feel good then go for it! like who cares??

-Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?

It can depend on the day or should I say season, but really more neutral tones on the eyes just because I like to wear quite bold lipstick and have that as my statement, but when it comes to summer I do prefer more pinky/nude shapes lipsticks so I tend to be a little more bold with my eye make-up

-Which celebrity always has great make up?

Kendall Jenner always had a good make-up game going on and oh my gosh Blake Lively

-If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item,what would you use?

Either Concealer or Mascara ( I have thee worlds stubbiest eyelashes)

-Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?

I could and I have, but I tend to wear make-up because I enjoy make-up so much and being able to use it as a creative outlet

-Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?

Uhm..Idk..I think I look ok? without make-up on but there is always them times where you don't and I am a very self-conscious person, I feel a lot of pressure that other girls do..Sometimes I do feel like " Oh my gosh I have bad under eye circles I must wear enough concealer to cover up today" We all have our insecurities at the end of day 

-In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?

That's impossible but any which have a variety of products and aren't too expensive

-What do you think of Makeup? 

I think make-up is such a good creative outlet that people sometimes under mime to what you can do with it, when it comes to make-up there is endless possibilities, it's something I get excited about and find joy in doing and I know a lot of people don't understand it but it's like we all have our individual things that we love to do, I could sit in my room and spend hours experimenting with make-up because I love it that much, There is so much you can learn and it never stops and millions of videos to learn these new things and you can share these things and learn together as a community, There is no right or wrong way with doing it, Taking the naked basics palette for example there is 6 shades in that but endless amounts of looks you can create with them shades, even using the darkest shade (crave) and you can create a winged look without rather than using eyeliner

Reading that back and oh my gosh how many times did I say love, literally as many times as I would say literallly in 10 minutes;)..

I hope you enjoyed this post my pretties and got to know abit more about the products I like to use and all my other thoughts on beauty and skincare things i'd love to know your answers to some of these so go comment below and as always I tag everyone to do it:)

Gimme some berry: FOTD

The sun may be starting to make its appearance more regularly as of recent (happy days!) but I am however having withdrawal symptoms when it comes to winter make-up. As much as I love a good pinky nude shade I am seriously missing getting to wear warm berry shades. So I decided since it was a slightly rainy summery day to bring a warm berry shade back into play and pair it with a more summery gold eye make-up and winged eyeliner.And with my hair curled to the side I am just so happy with this look and praying on Autumn to return soon;)

A lil bit of Aria from PLL: HOTD

Anybody who knows me, knows how much I love PLL (pretty little liars! although I shouldn't have to say;)). When I say love I basically mean obsessed. If there is a new episode I will watch that episode on repeat until the next episode is on and I mean repeat. I will have seen that episode at least 9 times before the next episode has come on. It does everybody's head in because by then anybody who has had to witness this knows all the words as much as me and has had to suffer and moan (semi-damaging their voice;)) at how much I watch it.

Recently I have picked up on a super cute and easy hairstyle that Aria (Lucy Hale) has worn numerous times. It's just a simple lowish ponytail but keeping the fringe out and having a middle parting. It's that easy! I absolutely love this hairstyle and it's really easy to do if you are rushing out the house because it literally takes two seconds! I have never been a fan of hair bobbles so when doing this I tie my hair up with a clear elastic. Another idea is you could wrap part of your hair around the ponytail to conceal any tie.. I bet that would look super cute:)

Ever one to dislike super flat hair I still add a bit of texture to this style by grabbing my backcomb and just slightly teasing parts of my hair and at the roots of my fringe. On some occassions (outfit dependent) I like to add a cute lil bow to the ponytail and when I have the effort and time beachy waves.

Lucious Lemon Bars

There is nothing I love to do more on a day where boredom levels are at an all time high and I have made my way through every TV series on Netflix than do a spot of baking!

I haven't got a major sweet tooth and can sometimes find the everyday normal cupcake a tad boring and just not that challenging to make because I have made them that many times.       

(Don't get me though wrong I do love cupcakes)

Since you all seemed to enjoy my last recipe so much (It's one of my most popular posts), I decided it was time to do another! I have never done this recipe before and it was adapted from the post by the lovely "Joy The Baker" but they didn't seem too complicated to make and was still a definite classic!

Last Sunday after watching the new PLL episode for like the 4th time!! (crazy i know) I ended up baking Lemon Bars and they were so so delicious, tangyyy and just all round heavanly, I knew straight away I had to show you pretties how I made them. 

INGREDIENTS

For the base:

2 cups plain flour
¹⁄₂ cup icing sugar
1 cup butter

 

For the topping:

4 large beaten eggs
2 cups caster sugar
¹⁄₃ cup lemon juice
¹⁄₄ cup plain flour
¹⁄₂ teaspoon baking powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon lemon zest (optional but recommended!)

Start by switching your oven on to 180 degrees celsius and lining a 13x9x2 inch tin ( approx..I am sure mine wasn't). Next, mix together your butter, sugar and flour with your hands until the mixture clings together and forms a sort of dough ( It should be short textured as it is a bit like shortbread). Now press the mixture into the tin and bake in the oven for 20-25 mins.. It should be lightly browned on the top.

To make the topping for these lemon bars you will need to first off beat the eggs with the sugar and the lemon juice. Then just simply sift in the dry ingredients (flour and baking powder) and mix until everything is combined. OH.. add the lemon zest at this point if using..nearly forgot that hahah... Now for the part where it all starts to come together - pour the mixture over the base straight out the oven. Some people say to do it when the base is cooled but DON'T , otherwise much of the tooping will sink into the base and it will just be a soggy mess ( I'm sure it would taste just as good though;)). Now pop them back in the oven for 25 minutes ish (it depends on how fast your oven cooks your bars, they took 20 in mine!)

Once your lemon bars are completely cool you can sprinkle your lemon bars with icing sugar and cut them into little bars of whatever size. I got my dad to do this part and he cut them ( Mr Kipling size;)) If you live in the UK you will get that!
