AMITY FEST

Hi guys,

OMG I still can't believe it I went to Amity Fest in Liverpool on the 27th of October. I you don't know what Amity Fest is it is a tour what British youtubers run. This tour was the first UK tour and they only did 3 shows because it was a test run. The shows they did were Birmingham, Liverpool and Brighton they did 3 shows in 3 days which I think is amazing.

 

The youtubes involved in Amity Fest are Zoella aka Zoe Sugg, Pointless Blog aka Alfie Deyes, Sprinkle of Glitter aka Louise Pentland, Marcus Butler, Niomi Smart, Tanya Burr, Jim Chapman, Caspar Lee and ThatcherJoe aka Joe Sugg. Sadly Joe couldn't make it to the Birmingham or Liverpool show because he had very bad food poisoning.

 

The show was at the O2 Academy near Liverpool Lime Street. We waited outside of the venue for 7 hours because there is no seats and we wanted to be quite near the front. We ended up very close to the stage.

 

The show had Q+As, sumo wrestling, robot dancing, a DJ set from Caspar featuring Emma Lee, the most likely to tag, singing, a javelin throwing competition and a human pyramid. I would definitely go back to Amity Fest if I had another chance.

 

We wore flashing bunny ears and we can be seen in all of the vlogs because no one else had the idea like we did. ( Thanks Liv) Thanks for reading.

Settling into year ten

 

Hi guys,

        

I know it has been a long time since I last posted a blog post but I have been settling in to year ten at school. Year ten in the UK is the year when you start your GCSE course. I chose my GCSE options in April 2014 when I was in year 9. I am very pleased with the options I chose because I think that they are very interesting. I didn't want to do too many academic subjects since I following pathway 1.

 

 

My first option was separate science because then I could get a GCSE in biology, chemistry and physics. I want to be a midwife when I am older so having 14 hours of science every 2 weeks was a good option for me. I am really enjoying separate science but I would have to say that my favourite of the 3 sciences is definitely biology but closely followed by chemistry. I find physics boring sometimes but it is an extra GCSE so I can't complain.

 

My second option was Spanish because I really enjoyed learning throughout year 7,8 and 9 so I knew that it was a good option for me. I am still liking Spanish even though my friends think I am mad for taking it as an option. What I didn't know about Spanish is that you get told about the GCSE question before the exam so you can practice what you are going to write in the exam.

 

My third option was food technology in my opinion everybody should take food tech because you learn soo many life skills concerning food. for example when I am a student I won't have to live off tosties because I will be able to make simple but tasty meals for a small price. I love food tech mainly because of all the food we make but I also like the written work because my teacher makes it so easy to understand.

 

My last and favourite option is dance even though I have never done a dance lesson outside of school I made a massive improvement in my dance and posture just because I have been doing dance in school. I took an interest to dance in year 8 when my friend Sophie persuaded me to join dance club. When I found out that I could take dance as a GCSE I knew that I was going to take it 100%. To make it even better the exam is worth 20% of the mark and 80% of the mark is practical work which will probably be my favourite part of the exam.

 

I don't just do these 6 subjects I still have to do English literature and language, maths, RAVE (religious and values education) and P.E (physical education).

 

Sorry I haven't been posting regularly but I am going to try and stick at it this time. Thank you for reading this post.

Daily Make Up Routine

My Daily Make Up Routine

 

 

Hello guy, this blog post is going to be about my daily make up routine. My make up I think is very natural. You can buy most of these products UK in drugstores for a reasonable price. I bought all of the make up products myself or they were presents of family. Lets get started!

 

Before I put any make up on I wash my face to make sure no make up is remaining from the day before. Yes I can't believe I am doing this but here is a picture of me facially naked on the internet.

 

Then I prepare my face by using the pore fessional balm by benefit. This is meant to minimize the appearance of pores. I think this is the best product I have used which actually minimizes the appearance of my pores it also keeps my make up on longer throughout the day. Ever since I have been using it I haven't had to re-apply my foundation. I just apply this with my fingers.

 

Next I use the Rimmel match perfection foundation in 010 light porcelain. I really like this foundation because it is the exact colour for my skin. This foundation is light coverage but you can build it up which is what I do to act as a concealer on any blemishes or red patches to cover them up. I apply this with my fingers because I find it absorbs into my skin better which I think looks a lot better than when I use a brush.

 

To set my foundation I use a Collections pressed powder in 18 ivory. This powder is the best colour match to go with my foundation. It keeps my foundation looking matte and airbrushed all day. It is really easy to apply and to do this I use a big fluffy powder brush. 

 

As I don't use blusher or bronzer I like to highlight my cheek bones by using the Laura Geller balance n brighten foundation in fair. Yes I know it is a foundation but it has a hint of shimmer and it works really well as a highlighter. It is on the higher side of the market at £35 a pot of 1.8 grams but you only need a little to make it go a long way. I apply this with the Laura Geller retractable baked powder brush which is so soft and the product goes on really well. 

 

After my face is looking presentable I then go onto my eyes I like my eyes to have a natural colour with a shimmer so I use a two shadows from a chilli pepper set. The shadows are very pigmented for the price which I paid for them. I put the champagne colour all over my eye lid then I put the light gold colour in the crease of my eye for some definition to my eyes. 

 

As I don't wear eye liner or fill my eyebrows in so I want to make sure my eye lashes to be longer and fuller so I use the natural collection mascara in black. This mascara is the lashcurl mascara and it is available in all boots stores. Even though it was cheap the bristles are not plastic which I think lengthens my lashes. Which is the result I want but sometimes if I want my more volume I use the they're real mascara from benefit. I have this mascara in the travel size because I didn't know what it was going to be like but when it runs out I will defiantly buy the full sized one because after two coats of the mascara I get asked if I am wearing fake lashes which in my opinion is a great result in a mascara with no effort.

     

Now lips. As soon as I wash my face I apply the mint EOS lip balm to prepare my lips for whatever lip product I am going to use later on. For a natural look I like a little bit of colour on my lips. I usually go for a subtle glossy pink. To create this colour and glossiness I start off with my baby lips from Maybelline in the shade "cherry me", which is a lip balm with a hint of pink but you build it up to make a hotter pink. Baby lips doesn't give a glossy finish so I finish my make up by applying the NYC Sweet gloss splash stick. There isn't a colour on the packaging of this lip gloss but it is a sheer baby pink and it is very glossy and together with the baby lips creates a lovely colour and look on the lips.

 

Here are all of the products I have used and I have listed the link under the picture of were you can get all of the products.

I couldn't find were to get the NYC gloss stick but I bought it in Superdrug I couldn't find the Chili Pepper box set but I bought it in boots.

Here is the finished look. My make up doesn't really change but when I dramatically change my look I will do another post like this.

 

Thank you for reading I know it was a long one but I thought I needed to do something like this.

REVIEW ON RIMMEL LYCRA PRO NAIL VARNISH

 

 

 

Hi guys

 

In this blog post I am going to review a Rimmel nail varnish. The full name of this nail product is the Rimmel lycra pro nail varnish. I have this in the colour Fancy Fushia 295.Which is a hot pink as you can see below.

 

Rimmel claims that it last up to 10 days and in that time it will not fade. I think this is very true because I normally have to re-paint my nail after 3 days and a haven't had to since I have been wearing this on my nails. I think this colour is a great colour for spring/ summer because I normally wear pastels and this will bring a pop of colour into my outfit.

 

This is really easy to apply because it has a maxi brush and my nail is the same size so I can apply multiple coats without difficulty.

 

I would recommend this nail varnish to all girls who need a pop of colour in their nails   

 

 

thanks for reading
