Hey Guys.
I am so sorry that I didn't post last week. I have been really busy and have exams coming up, but I am trying my hardest.
So todays post is going to be 5 Beauty Hacks. These hacks are amazing and have helped me so much.

1. Making A Lipstick Matte

If you have a lipstick that you love or just really want a matte lipstick, why spend money on one when you can make all your lipsticks matte. So you are going to put the lipstick of your choice on and get some translucent powder and put it on top of your lipstick with a sponge or brush. You want to put loads on and let it set for about a minute, then brush it off with a brush and you have a matte lipstick.

2. Making Waterline Eyeliner Last

Don't you just hate it when you put an eyeliner in your waterline and by the end of the day it has gone? Well I have a solution for you. Apply your eyeliner as normal and then get an eyeshadow the same colour, preferably matte, and apply that on top of the eyeliner.

3. Making Your Eyelashes Look Longer

So this hack is my absolute favourite. I have quite long eyelashes, but they aren't curly so I curl my lashes. I saw someone curl their eyelashes, but before they hairdryed them to get them hot. I tried this and my goodness. It makes such a difference and makes me look like I have false lashes on!

4. Getting The Perfect Cat Eye Flick

If you struggle with getting the perfect cat eye flick I have the trick for you. Get some tape and stick it where you want your flick to be. Then you can do your eyeliner as normal and draw against the tape. When you take the tape off your eyeliner looks amazing.

5. Making An Eyeshadow More Pigmented

If you have an eyeshadow that you love, but it doesn't show up, then I have the trick for you. If you wet your brush before you use the eyeshadow the pigmentation will be so good.

So I hope you enjoyed this post and these hacks will help you as much as they help me.
Please leave a comment of any questions or posts you would like me to do.

Big Hugs….

Quote Of The Week

True Friends

Hey guys.
Hope you are doing well.
Todays post is going to be about True Friendships. If you followed my old blog you might have seen that I posted a similar post to this one, but this one will be a bit different because my confidence has been growing so I have had the change to meet more people.
Friends are one of the greatest things in life. They are there for you when you are down and they are there to share the amazing moments in life. If you know me you will know that I have had a pretty bad experience with friendships.
I am going to give you a brief story of what happened, but I don't want to say the name of the girl so I am going to give her a fake name. She is going to be called Beth.
So I moved from London to Oxfordshire in 2011 and I was joining this school and so was Beth. She was so nice and we become ver close very quickly. She was my best friend and I trusted her with everything. When year 7 came, Beth and I were both staying in the same school so I was even more excited. We made more friends which was so good. She had her little group and I had mine, but we were still close so I was so happy. We drifted apart a bit and didn't spend as much time together.
Every summer we had a massive argument and stupidly I always wanted to be friends with her, so I let her annoy and upset me. This went on for about 2 years and then it started to get 10 times worse. As I had always wanted to be friends with her after arguments, she must have thought that she can do it all the time and I would still love her, so she started to make rumours and lie to me all the time. After school virtually everyday I would burst into tears. In year 9 I stopped wanting to be friends with her, but she didn't stop!
Half way through year 9 something happened on instagram where someone commented on my pictures with horrible comments. This person was posting on Beth's instagram as well so we started chatting and getting close again. It got to the point that we had to get the police involved so I was spending a lot of time with her. This made me think that I could trust her, but NO!! She wouldn't leave me alone and she had recruited a little group of girls and they all helped to bully me. This made my confidence go down a lot. I never wanted to go to groups or do anything that I hadn't done before.
In the end we looked around schools but nothing seemed right and we started homeschooling. It has slowly built my confidence back up and I am going to a lot more groups. This whole experience has made me realise my true friends, because they were there for me helping me throughout the whole process.
Recently I have met a couple of girls my age that I have built a really good friendship with. We went to a youth group and I have met so many more people.
If any of you are going through anything similar, it will end and your true friends will be there for you!
I know this was quite a heavy post but I thought I would share this with you!

I hope you enjoyed this post

Homemade Powder Foundation!!

Hey guys

Hope you had a good week. I am so sorry that I didn't post yesterday! I have had a really busy week, but I promise to get back into the swing of thing.

Todays post is going to be a bit different. I am going to show you how I made this Homemade Powder Foundation!
I have been experimenting quite a lot with different methods of how to made your own makeup. I finally found one that I liked the look of and I tried it.
I'm not going to lie, but it didn't work! It is a loose foundation powder, so it does go everywhere, but when I put it on it just looked really blotchy! I tried putting it on with different brushes and in afferent ways, but it never seemed to work.
I am going to compact the powder to see if it makes a difference and hopefully it will. I will let you know as soon as I have done it.
I will link the website that I used incase you wanted to try it. The lady did say it works for her so it may work for you. If you do try it, please let me know in the comments how it turns out.

In the ingredients that I used, there is something called Bentonite Clay. It is really good for your skin, so I tried it. It is a powder, but if you mix it with some water it makes a face mask type thing. I put it on my spots and the next day they looked so much better! I would highly recommend that!

Please leave a comment of some posts you would like to see!
