Meet Callie...

This week's post is a little different to previous posts as it is not about me or my experiences (listens to the cheers from readers :P) but about a new feature on this blog.
On the last Sunday of every month you will be treated to a post titled 'Callie's Corner: ...'. Callie is one of my best friends and one day she asked me whether or not she should create a new blog/tumblr about fashion, beauty and art as that is what she aspires to do when she leaves school. So I suggested why not be a monthly feature on my blog and if that's successful then start up her own? Ta-daaaa here we are...the creation of 'Callie's Corner'.

What better way of introducing 'Callie's Corner' then learning a little bit about Callie. 

Who are you?

My name is Callie and I am 16 years old. I spend most of my time crying about Fall Out Boy, worshiping Hayley Williams, and sitting on tumblr. When I'm not doing these, I am doing school and studying History, Modern Studies, English, Maths and Art & Design. 

How do you know me?

I met you in school through a mutual friend and have been bugging you ever since.

What will you bring to this blog?

I think mainly my monthly posts will be about beauty products and style reviews with the occasional rant or recipe thrown into the mix.

If people want to know more about you, where can they find you?

Here is my twitter, pinterest and tumblr.

Dear my 18 year old Self...

Here we are again...me talking about myself :P. Well actually this week's post (it's not Saturday...oops!) is actually me talking to my future self. In just under two years time I will be 18, so what I've decided to do is write a note to my 18 year old self with a few things I want achieve by then.

"Dear My 18 Year Old Self...

1. Continue blogging - I tend to give up on things very easily so I really hope that you've stuck to writing blog posts and if you do I'll be quite proud of you for doing so!

2. Get a job - I currently do the odd bit of babysitting whenever I'm needed, don't get me wrong I love doing it and it's easy money, but I just want you to have proper job working somewhere like a restaurant, shop or cafe where you have set hours that you are paid for.

3. Be healthier - 2013's New Year's resolution was to stop eating crisps and sweets and to stop drinking fizzy drinks so I really hope you've stuck to that and started to drink more water too!

4. Join a Gym/be more active - Being honest, I am pretty lazy and constantly complain about it so I wish that you've done something about it...joining a gym could be pushing it a little but I at least hope you've become more active in someway.

5. Learn how to save money - I am terrible at this! When I see something I like I tend so buy it or when I'm out with my friend's we tend to go out to restaurants for lunch. I hope that in two years time your bank account isn't empty!

6. Go to Disney again - This one might not/probably won't happen but I hope you go to Disney again even if it is just Disneyland Paris.

7. Have a prom date - This one is a little sad and cheesy but yeah, every girl can dream! 

8. Be positive/happy - To be honest this is the one that I want to happen the most. Things have never gone smoothly in my life so I wish that you are happy in every aspect of your life and you are being positive rather than negative.

9. Improve your photography skills - I'm just about to buy a new camera and I really hope in two years time you have a pretty impressive photography folio.

10. Be the bottle of water not the fizzy drink - I'm gonna leave this one without an explanation to see if you actually remember what it means.

...I hope you at least try to stick to some of these 18 year old self...and if you don't shame on you!"

On another note, my friend Callie (more about her next week!) did my make up for me! What do you think?

(update from the last post...this is the Topshop Gloss Ink in Cruel!)

Beauty & Fashion Wish List

I wasn't sure what this weeks post was going to be about but as all week I have been adding things to buy onto a note on my phone I thought I'd do a beauty and fashion wish list. So here goes!

The first product on the list is Topshop's Gloss Ink. I heard about this from FleurDeForce's post HERE. I thought I'd try Cruel (the same one as Fleur bought) because I really like the colour and I don't suit bright reds or pinks but I might suit this shade...there's only one way to find out!

Next is a foundation. The debate between which one has taken along time and I'm still not sure which to go for! I've narrowed it down to Match Perfection or Wake Me Up both by Rimmel. (If you have used either please tweet me/comment down below why you like it to help me decide!)

So many blogger/vloggers rave about Collection Lasting Perfection concealer so I've added it to my wish list! 

I suffer from blackheads more that spots and have been struggling to find a product which will get rid of them. A couple of weeks ago I tweeted beauty blogger Anna from viviannadoesmakeup and she suggested the Borghese Fango Active Mud Mask. I'm not really a fan of face masks and never heard of this product but as Anna know's what she's talking about when it comes to beauty, I have added it to the list. (Looking it up now I might need to find a cheaper alternative as it can be quite expensive!!)

My final beauty products that are a must-buy (as soon as they come to Superdrug!) are Tanya Burr's Lips and Nails range!

For those of you who don't know who Tanya is she is a beauty blogger and vlogger who for years has been creating her first collection.

I don't tend to wear a lot of lip glosses other than a clear one and as Topshop's Gloss Ink will be one of my next purchases, I think I might give the lip glosses a miss for the time being. There are three nail polishes in particular that I want to buy which are Little Duck, Mini Marshmallows and Penguin Chic because they're shades that I could possibly get away with at school.

Tanya's products are currently available on feelunique 

Be Bright Be Happy and New York Night will also be shades I will buy eventually!

I've recently discovered a website called Pastel Clouds who do the most beautiful fun jewellery I have ever seen! I have fallen in love with almost all of their products and desperately want to buy the products featured in the picture below!

Only a few items of clothing on my wish list at the moment with are a denim skater skirt, a bowler hat and a pair of hi-tops.
