HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
A few people on You Tube requested that I film a make-up video. I decided to take up the challenge lol. This is just my version of ‘casual classic Lolita make-up’. I wear this style from day to day with my classic co-ords:
• The first product I use is Barry M’s white foundation base (£6.19) and blend it with a make-up sponge.
• I use Estee Lauders’ Double Wear concealer around the darker areas of my face. Colour: 1-Light (£19.00).
• I then apply Estee Lauders’ Double Wear foundation. Colour: 1C1 Shell (£27.00) and again blend it with a make-up sponge.
• To set your foundation, I use a collection 2000’s powder (18 Ivory is the lightest powder foundation I have found so far, £1.99). I use a bronzer brush to apply, because I found that make-up pads caked the powder on!
• (Yup, I have no eyebrows! I wax them off because they are quite sparse. I normally draw them in if I am wearing my fringe back XD).
• I use two mascaras. Extra Super Lash by Rimmel London and Lash Expander Frame Plus by Majolica Majorca. I find ESL is great for my lower lashes because the curved brush curls my lashes. And I find that LEF is great for colour! It stays quite an intense black and the comb runs through my false lashes perfectly!
• Blue contact lenses by: Colour Vue.
• White Expressions Kajal eyeliner by Maybelline New York (£4.09). Used along the water line.
• A cheap black eyeliner. I normally use Barry M black, but I lost my pencil :( I also smudge a small amount of white eyeliner into the black (Not as dramatically as you would with sweet Lolita make-up though!).
• Black liquid eyeliner used at the edge of the eyes: Revlon ColourStay (£6.00). Lashes number 120 by Eylure(£4.98). Here I use tweezers to stick several of my bottom eyelashes together to give them the same shape as the false lashes. BE CAREFUL! No stabbing yourself in the eye! D-:
• Blusher by BeautyUK number 8, Dolly Pink (£2.99).
• Vanilla scented, heart shaped lipstick by Avon. Colour: Sparkle Shine.
I hope this was helpful! If anyone has any questions, please feel free to leave me a comment! :D

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic day!
I must admit, this year I was really spoilt. My friends and family all made such an effort! I am very grateful for the presents I received and I’m sure they were all happy with mine in return…I hope lol.
Here are two dresses I was given for Christmas <3 (Ignore the awful faces XD)
Left:
Dress: Akane & Alois
From my parents. (I will come up with a better co-ord, I just threw on this dress the other day so I could take a picture for my Mum :)
Right:
Dress: MilleFleurs
From my boyfriend.
I was given some vouchers from my Gran, so today we drove down to Newcastle’s Metro Centre. Here are a few of my purchases :)
I love these Lalaloopsy dolls, they remind me of the Coraline movie. I find the button eyes quite creepy.
Has anyone else tried the Dainty Doll make-up range? I tried the mousse foundation a while back and found that it was a good colour match however it didn’t stay put very well. I am hoping that the liquid foundation will be better. Only problem is; I can’t buy this range in Scotland :(

I find it very hard to stick to the style that I love! Like a child I am easily distracted by pretty, shiny things :-s There have been a few occasions this year when I have bought ridiculously pink dresses and OTT sweet accessories, and then a while later totally regretted it. – I should be able to appreciate something pretty without having to own it lol!

I am feeling very Christmassy today!
I am trying to book afternoon tea for my friends. We meet up a few days before Christmas and swap presents. I was trying to get a table at the Prestonfield House Hotel but one of my friends is working at 4pm so I am finding it a little troublesome :-s
Can anyone recommend anywhere closer to town that is just as pretty?

This morning I was awoken by the postman to find he had a parcel from New Zealand for me! It was a Christmas present from my friend Freyja. I am so happy right now; I got rose bud tea, a golden carousel necklace and a soap shaped like a cupcake which is also rose scented!
I met up with my friend Caitlin the other day and we also swapped Christmas presents. I had bought her a winter jacket. I thought it would be a better idea to swap gifts now, so she could actually get some use out of it over the winter period :) In return she had bought me this Juicy Couture necklace!
I have wrapped them all back up and put them under the tree for Christmas day.

I haven’t really been posting much on my blog because I recently discovered that vlogging on YouTube is much faster and way more fun! :D I will do my best and try to keep this updated in the new year, however it might be mainly video entrys! Below is my R-Series & Dear Celine clothing review, enjoy!

This was just a quick video I threw together. (It was filmed on my phone and for most of the footage my settings were wrong! Doh! ¬__¬).
Anyway, please enjoy!

When I was younger one of my favourite places to visit, to escape (what I felt were) the burdens of teenage life (lol!) for a while, was a place called Dunfermline Abbey.
After meeting my friends in town I would often wander home through Pittencrieff Park, stopping in at the Abbey. I always had an interest in history and at Primary school we were taught all about how Dunfermline was once the capital of Scotland. We were told that this area was once a beautiful Palace, but now it stands in ruins :( The Abbey itself is the only area still intact.
I moved to Edinburgh when I was seventeen. I didn’t enjoy growing up in Dunfermline, however I must admit that as an adult I now see the little town very differently :)
*Updated Dec: This Christmas we had very heavy snowfall. We had travelled back to Dunfermline to deliver our Christmas presents. Since we were there, we decided to have a walk around Pittencrieff Park. It was magical looking covered in mounds of smooth sparkling snow! The little river was frozen over and the wildlife was plentiful! Squirrels and birds were following people around in the hope of food. Some of the squirrels were taking nuts right out of small children’s hands! It was very pretty.*
Anyway, today we decided to head back to Dunfermline because they have a Primark. And I wanted a stack of cheap tights! XD Here is a little video I made before we got the train back home:
