Makeup Favourites

Hello!

I thought that I would share a few of my favourite makeup bits and bobs, so here we go.

I usually use all of these items together, as one look, and I find that it works best for me. I'm not normally able to wear this amount of makeup to school, so I tend to only wear all of these at weekends...

Brushes - Seventeen brush set (includes large face brush, lip brush, fluffy eye brush, square eye brush and angled eye brush)

- The Body Shop Blusher brush

Brush bag - Cath Kidston

Eyes - Urban Decay NAKED palette 

I know. Who isn't a fan of the Naked palettes? I was lucky enough to receive the original palette as a gift last year, and I can honestly admit that I would be happy to only use this palette for the rest of my life. It has everything you need: a collection of matte and shimmer nudes. It even comes with a double ended brush and primer samples. 

My most used shades are Naked (for the base), Buck (for the lid crease) and Half Baked  - a gorgeous gold shimmer (for the lid centre)

Lips - Maybelline New York colorsensational in 842 - Rosewood Pearl

FACE PRODUCTS! 

Blush - Bobbi Brown in shade 15 - Desert Rose

Concealer - Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer in Soft Beige

Bronzer - Bourjois Paris Bronzer and Highlighter

Highlighter - Benefit Girl Meets Pearl

MY HOLY GRAIL! 

Unfortunately, being blonde means that when I don't wear eye makeup, I look like an eight year old boy, so for me, mascara is a must every day. 

Rimmel London Wonder'full mascara is by far the best mascara that I have ever had the privilege of smothering my lashes with. It elongates and adds boldness my lashes, whilst coating them evenly and makes my eyes wider and appear less eight-year-old-boy-esque. Fab.

Ski Trip 2015

Hello!

Ok, ever since I first went skiing, I have been dying to get back on the slopes again. I finally got my chance when the school opened up the next annual trip, and as it is my final year at school, I grabbed the opportunity to spend a week with my friends in Italy.

So I have just got back from this year's Ski Trip with my school and I had the best time ever. We stayed in a small Italian hotel, called Hotel San Giusto, and skied 'pass San Pellegrino'. Being a school trip, I knew we would have loads of fun, but I couldn't help but be a tad nervous as we made our way up the ski lifts for the first time. I had been skiing before, but that was two years previously, so I was terrified. I was always 'that one' that fell off the lift as soon as it slows down. I didn't want to be the first one to flop in front of all of the experienced school skiers and teachers.

We started skiing straight away, which was also petrifying, as loads of us hadn't skied in ages, and we were asked to ski down a small (but massive to the inexperienced among us) slope, to be sorted into groups. Thankfully, I was sorted into the lowest, meaning that I wouldn't have to worry about being abandoned by any rapid skiers in the group.

I didn't manage to take many photos to document the trip, but here's the few that I did get...
