Last night, I was getting ready for work. Clothes and what not, and my lovely sister offered to do my hair; and being the ungirlie girl I am naturally I jumped at the chance. I adored how she did my hair, so I did my make-up like I do most days, and something about my having my hair done and my makeup looking better than usual gave me a burst of confidence, which lasted me the whole night. The hair style is below;

 It looks chilled and almost as if I haven't done much yet the braid going from one side to the other shows effort, My sister added come classy clips which gave the hair some OOMF!

I enjoy getting my hair done, styled and what not, it makes me feel so put together. I myself I am not very good with hairstyles, I basically either have it up in a half arsed bun or a masses of curls over my shoulders, my natural hair.




So the hairstyle made me feel elegant, which does not happen often if I do say. I am looking forward to perhaps learning this style myself when I change my colour back to brown.

So once my hair was done, I did my own makeup. And I was so impressed by how good my eyeliner turned out, it a long battle I've bad with eyeliner, we aren't on the best of terms.





But I was super happy, I felt so happy and confident, I love it when hair and  makeup can brighten my mood and make me feel good about myself. Granted, I do not believe in completely depending on them for self happiness, but they are definitely a good boost. I keep it simple with makeup;
Foundation: No7 Beautifully Matte, Oil Free Callico (the colour that matches my skin.
I had taken this at the end of the night.
Eye Liner: Miss Beauty London fine eye liner
Eye Shadow:  w7 Colour Me BUFF natural nudes; colour; dust
Mascara:  Collection Lengthening Mascara: length and definition
Lipstick: Avon no clue on colour.


I got to work early naturally I had to take advantage of the killer lightening in the little break room.
I'm also in love with this Snapchat filter, it has been my favourite from the beginning! So I felt good at work, which is a positive because I am constantly working with people and patrionts, a bit of self-confidence goes a long way. It was good to be as conscious about how I look. My makeup lasted the whole time too, which is always a bonus; reapplying can be a nightmare.

I ended up finishing work early due to technical difficulties, this was slightly saddening because I adore work and for the first time in a long time I felt the need to be seen. I looked and felt good and wanted other people to see that too.

When I got home I was tired naturally, my hair got taken out as I was soon to be heading to sleep. Even with my hair down I was still feeling myself. If anything I felt just as good as I had before going to work. I did not want to take my makeup off at all, I felt sexy and happy. As it happens, I did the thing women aren't supposed to do; fall asleep without wiping their makeup off. I did have intentions too but as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out for the count. I was thankful when I woke up to no stained pillows and half my liner in tact. I did wipe it off though as soon as I got out of bed.

Also - I enjoyed writing this post, I haven't really done a 'beauty' blog post before, or anything related but I genuinely enjoyed talking about this stuff. This isn't a thing I could do all the time but I think if I'm having a special occasion or Feelin' Myself again then I'll definitely be making a blog post about, please share and follow, and would you like more posts like this?

Feelin' Myself

Saturday, 28 January 2017


This was the outfit I wore on Thursday. My favourite outfit of this week. Black is very slimming, and I felt confident and generally really good about myself!

Holterneck; Primark - I can't remember how much I think it was £3-£6 not too sure though.
High Waist Skinny Jeans; Primark £13 - these are my favourite jeans of all time. I discovered these a little over month ago and I already have several pairs of them, also they make your ass look so good!

Also I am a Primark girl, I haven't expanded to other women's clothes shops yet, I just stick to what I know.





This is my favourite selfie, Demi did my makeup and well as always I loved it. I like to think I went from a 3 to a solid 7. Also my hair looked pretty good too, due to lighting it looks slightly ginger in this picture but I don't mind too much.

I don't know much about the makeup I am wearing, I do know the foundation is No.7 beautifully matte.

Demi is my go to person for make up, whenever we are together she does it. I like it because she knows how to make certain features more prominent, it makes me feel more confident and girlie. It's just a good feeling!

Thank you for reading today's blog, see you tomorrow!! -Lauren

Outfit of the Week

Sunday, 29 May 2016

After months of being a hermit I'm heading out tonight, bowling with the ladies and drinks. It got me thinking of course,  we have certain measures to take like wearing heels (that make our feet ache) and wearing a push up bra (which grips your sides and you can't breathe) the make up preparations just to look almost flawless for the many selfies to come. Then there's the actual saving the money for the night out, not lavishing out beforehand and skipping lunches. Only for at the end of the night to be a mess in your knickers in your best friends bed. I personally think the getting ready part is exciting, watching myself transform from a 2 to a strong 8. And then when you're with the girls it's like you haven't been a part at all, and the laughter rolls off your tongues. Memories are important and creating them is the best part. We do a lot of preparation to have fun, when essentially you could be in in jeans and tshirts and still have the same amount of fun. I believe it's all about the glamour making ourselves look the best we can. Plus I mean the glamour does help when you're trying to look older...
