Iggy Azalea

Another one of my favourite celebrities at the minute is Iggy Azalea as I just love her songs and style. I love learning new songs and raps and at me and my friends always find ourselves learning new raps  so we can sing them together and at the minute Iggy's songs are just perfect to do just that. For anyone who doesn't know who Iggy is, she's a singer from New South Wales (Australia)

Iggy hasn't been around for long but her name is definitely one to remember, all of her songs so far have been massive hits consisting of Work, Fancy ft. Charli XCX, Problem ft. Ariana Grande and more recently Black Widow ft. Rita Ora. What I love about Iggy is the content of her music as she writes from personal experiences and her upbringing furthermore, I absolutely love her album 'The New Classic' and I'm hoping that she will come on to the UK to tour as I would love to go and watch her live.

When performing live, just like Ariana Grande she likes to keep her outfits the same but change the colour style and pattern.

Ariana Grande

At the minute one of my favourite celebrities is Ariana Grande. For anyone who doesn't who she is then basically you should! Ariana is an amazing singer with an incredible range, I've never heard a voice like hers ever, she can definitely hit those high notes. Recently she collaborated with Jessie J & Nicki Minaj to release the hit single 'Bang Bang' and I can honestly say its ones of my favourite song that's being released so far this year. She also just released a new single 'Break Free' from her brand new album 'My Everything'

Recently, Ariana changed the whole of her wardrobe to a more sexy, sophisticated look by adding knee high heeled boots, heels, bodysuits, making skirts and crop tops & dresses. She's kept this look constant over the last 4-5 months but mixed it up by changing the design, colour and pattern whilst performing live or attending an event. I love her style a lot, so I thought she deserved a blog post. I'd also just like to add that one of my proudest moments was when she followed me on twitter as I absolutely love her!

Top 10 Nail Varnishes From Nails Inc

I know I haven't been blogging for that long but to date my most viewed blog post is my Barry M Gelly Swatches and actually, it was one of my favourite blog post to write as I love nail varnish and you will never see me without it on. Because I enjoyed it that much, it I though I'd stick to the theme of nail varnishes and share with you my top 10 by Nails Inc. I've been building up my nail varnish collection for about a year and a half now and it's mostly made up of Nails Inc so it was actually really hard to pick 10 but I did my best and managed to actually agree on my top 10. 

With Nails Inc there not as cheap as Barry M but they're still affordable, the quality of them are absolutely amazing and like I said before I'm one of those people who doesn't do an undercoat two layers and a top coat, I literally put one coat and that's it and with Nails Inc I can achieve just that! I'm not going to say it doesn't chip easily because it does, but I think that's down to me not using a top coat. However, you can definitely make it last!

Monthly Favourites (Part 2)

If you didn't read my blog post on Wednesday then you won't know why this is 'Monthly Favourites Part 2' but basically I got carried away and wrote far too much so I included 5 monthly favourites on Wednesday and the other 5 on this blog post. So here's some other things I've been loving. 

When It comes to eye shadow I'm a girl who likes to keep it quite natural and tends to stick to warm tones, so I though I'd buy the Sleek Pallet in Au Naturel and for the past 2 months I've been absolutely loving it.
 About a month ago now I won a competition which meant I won loads of The Vintage Cosmetic Company brushes, and they're honestly the some of the best brushes I've ever used. They look so cute on my dressing table and they are amazing quality, I just love the way my makeup looks when I've used them brushes!
 

 
 I think everyone has that 1 foundation they'll always go back to and for me its the L'Oréal true match foundation. Over the past couple of years I've tried loads and loads of different foundations but I've never found one that gives me the same finish, coverage or look as this foundation.


 Another thing that I always go back to is the Barry M Gelly - Sugar Apple I've got over 100 nail varnishes but what ever colour I paint my nails, I'll just immediately want sugar apple back on my nails as I just love the colour sooo much! 

 
The bourjois bronzing powder is probably one of the best things I've ever bought in my life and for £9.99 you honestly can't go wrong. Also, recently I've been loving using it as an eye shadow in the crease of my eye and it's gives it a lot of definition but also a soft subtle look, I know it sounds crazy using a Bronzer as eye shadow but don't knock it until you've tried it. 


 
So there you go, the rest of my monthly favourites. What have you been loving this month, why not leave a comment below telling me?

Monthly Favourites (Part 1)

I know its not the end or the beginning of a month but I thought I'd do my monthly favourites anyway. Some of the things I mention are products that I've not only been loving this month, but are still one of my favourite products after quite a while. 

When I finished writing this blog post I realised how much I'd written with 10 things so I'm going to do a part 1 and part 2 monthly favourites with 5 on each (Part 2 will be up on Sunday!)

Firstly, is the Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm in cherry. Honestly, this has been an absolute life saver over the past couple of weeks because I constantly have dry, chapped lips and no matter what I use on them it's just never worked. So when I tried this I was just amazed and I really can't praise this product enough, you just have to try it!
Before I purchased the L'Oréal Micellar water I just used normal makeup wipes but for the past 2 weeks I've been absolutely loving using it! I honestly don't think I'll even go back to using makeup wipes ever again! Yes makeup wipes are the easy option but I've also seen an improvement in my skin, so personally I'd rather spend 10 minutes taking my makeup off if it's going to improve the look of my skin.

 
When I'm at school I only really wear baby lips or a nice pink lipstick as I think for me, a bright red lip is a bit ott for school, however, over the past six weeks I've pretty much wore Rimmel Kate moss 110 every single day and I just absolutely love how my lips look with it on.
 
 
Again, when I at school, I always wash my hair the night before and let It dry naturally but in these holidays I've been washing it in the morning, spraying a bit of Vo5 Plump it up volumizing spritz in my hair and blow drying it, because my hairs so long it's always flat to my head, so I've been loving the full, volumised look my hair has when I wear it down or even in a pony tail.
 
 
The only game I have on my phone is the Kim Kardashian game and that's simply because I download a game, play on it for few hours and just delete it as I find it boring. However. in these school holidays it's honestly been the cure to my boredom.
 
 
So there you go, my some of my monthly favourites. What have you been loving this month, why not leave a comment below telling me? 

Enjoy your day,

My Trip To Wembley

For a girl, I enjoy watching rugby way more than I should and I'm definitely not afraid to admit it. I totally blame this on my brother though, as all my life I've grew up watching him play and one of my earliest memories is watching him play rugby. 

So when I had the opportunity to go and support my local rugby team, Castleford Tigers in the challenge cup final against Leeds Rhinos, I certainly wasn't going to say no, also why wouldn't I want to spend the day in London? The only down side of this was that I had to wake up super early; at a time that's not even classed as a normal to get up at and start the 5 hour journey to Wembley, alot of people who visit or live in London always complain about traffic so I was dreading it however, on the way there we didn't get stuck in any but on the way out of London we did. Even though I went to support Castleford Tigers I was super excited to see Kevin Sinfield (Captain of Leeds Rhinos) on the pitch.

I've been to quite a few concerts over the past 2 years in Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester and I've loved every single one of them and the atmosphere of them all have been amazing, however, at Wembley, the atmosphere was completely different (in a good way of course) and it's definitely an experience I'll never forget. On top of that, I'd be lying if I said I didn't join in with the chants. 

Unfortunately we were defeated by Leeds Rhinos but it didn't stop us from chanting and waving our flags! I can honestly say it was one of the best days of my life I certainly will never forget! Here's a few pictures from my trip to Wembley.

I know this isn't beauty or fashion related, but I haven't done many lifestyle blog post's yet and after today I'm definitely going to do more as personally this has been one of my favourite blog posts to write. 

What's an experience that you'll never forget, why not leave a comment telling me below?

Little Mix

Little Mix are my all time favourite British girl band consisting of 4 girls, Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock. For anyone who doesn't know who little mix are, they were the first ever girl group to win The X Factor in 2011 mentored by Tulisa. Originally, they were called Rhythmix but In the live shows they had to change their name and decided on Little Mix. The girls all auditioned as solo artists but were put together as a group at boot camp as they were all too good to let go of, they went on to finish the competition as a group and 3 years later are still together and class each other as sisters. Its fair to say that the girls always look flawless whatever they're doing.

As well as being singers the girls have many other talents and one of them Is their fashion which I'm sure you'll agree. They don't have a clothing line as of yet but they have worked with Collection to come up with their own makeup line and Elegant touch to design their own nails and nail wraps.

The girls wearing their makeup...
