June Favourites!

Hello everyone! I am back today with a new favourite's post! Choosing them was relatively easy this month, so let's get straight to it!

NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams Review!

OK. I have a confession. I am OBSESSED with liquid lipsticks. It's become an actual problem.

What doesn't help is the fact that my local Boots now stocks NYX Cosmetics! A brand that I have been wanting to try out for the longest time! You can imagine my excitement when I saw that their soft matte lip creams were only £5.50 each! So, like any true beauty lover, I bought three of them. Yes. Three. My bank account hates me right now.

I decided on purchasing three completely different shades that would all suit my pale skin tone and blonde hair, and would suit various occasions. Funnily enough, there were a couple of shades that were out of stock that I really wanted, so I may have to go back and check every time I visit Boots. Like I said, my bank account HATES ME.

The shades I purchased were No. 8 "San Paulo", No. 10 "Monte Carlo" and No. 20 "Copenhagen".

L-R: San Paulo, Monte Carlo and Copenhagen.

Becoming Rapunzel

Hey guys! As you know, Rapunzel is my all time favourite princess! And this weekend is my first party as the lost princess! So I thought I'd share my costume with you all! She is my bae, I love her a lot, and I am so excited to make a little girls dream come true on Sunday! 

So, without further ado...meet Rapunzel!

May Favourites!

Hey guys! I have returned today to do probably one of my favourite posts I do on this blog: a favourites post! They're definitely my favourite to read, and I love looking back on the last month and seeing which products I loved the most! So, let's start!

Cinderella in Dubai!

For those of you who have been here since the beginning, you may remember a little post called "Snow White in Dubai" that I posted this time 2 years ago. Well, get ready to receive some major deja vu! That's right! I travelled back to one of my all time favourite places in the world to portray one of my all time favourite princesses. On the 7th of December, myself and our wonderful cast flew to Dubai, hopped in a rental car, and travelled up to Abu Dhabi for the first part of our trip. But not before a week full of intense rehearsals! And boy, were those rehearsals full on!

Luxury Haul!

Hello hello hello!

Over the last couple of months, I have been lucky enough to treat myself to a few bits and pieces that are a little bit on the pricey side, but they are all things that I have had my eye on for the longest time. And today, I thought I would share them all with you!

Childhood Dreams: My 21st Birthday

As I am writing this, I am snuggled on the sofa, eating a lot of chocolate, looking at the gorgeous ring my parents got me and dealing with a bit of a sore head. Why you ask? Well, today is my 21st birthday.

And I couldn't be happier.

Last night, I had a lovely little get together with some of my closest friends at my uncle and aunties pub, but it wasn't just any get together, oh no! It was a FANCY DRESS THEME! I asked my guests to turn up dressed as their favourite childhood characters! And boy, was there a selection of nostalgic characters in that pub!

Halloween Costume: Broken Porcelain Doll

Hey guys!

So, this weekend was HALLOWEEN! One of my favourite holidays of the year, and for the first time in years, I attended a Halloween party! When I say "years", I do literally mean YEARS. Seven, to be exact. However, my lack of spooky celebrations over the years didn't stop me from putting together an epic costume. I'm in the theatre; costumes are my thing.

This year, the theme was "SCARY". Now, to be fair, I am scared of a lot of things. Growing up, spiders, ghosts, zombies, anything to do with the horror genre would scare the living daylights out of me. But after working in a halloween maze last year, my fear of anything spooky has subdued a little. But only a little.

Back in my primary school days, my friends used to tell ghost stories in the playground around Halloween, all of which are either ridiculous or far too scary for any 9 year old to listen to. However, there was one story that to this day still creeps me out, and was in fact the inspiration of my costume this year.

A story of a broken china doll.

10 Reasons Why I'm Excited For Autumn

Hey guys!

So,  September is here, the temperature has dropped immensely, and the leaves are turning brown, and I personally couldn't be more excited!

Of course, Spring and Summer are absolutely beautiful, and nobody can fault the lovely sunshine, the warm weather and the opportunity to actually give a pale complexion a touch of a tan! But to me, the Autumn and Winter months are my absolute favourite, and today, I'm going to tell you exactly why!

Hello you beautiful people!

So, I thought it was about time I did another review on my blog, because I have only ever done one review before, and it was a while ago. Wow, that sounded super boring. But let's get started!

The Beauty Blogger Tag!

Hey guys!

Today, I thought it would be fun to do some sort of tag/question and answer thingy, as I've yet to do one on my blog, and I thought it would be interesting! I found this tag on Beauty Guide 101's blog, so I give her complete credit for this! (Although I have cut out a few questions as I either a. didn't understand them, or b. didn't have an answer for them!)

So, here we go! The Beauty Blogger Tag!

Blogging Newbie: Why I'm Here!

Hello readers!

Today's post is just going to be a regular, chit-chatty post, as I realised that most people who read my blog that don't have a blog themselves don't really understand what and why I have one, and I thought that I would just clear up a few things. Don't worry, it won't be super long, but I do feel it's kind of necessary!

May Favourites!

Hello, all! June is here, which means it's time for my May Favourites!

I have been loving a lot of stuff this month, and they're a little all over the place, so I should probably stop rambling on, and get to it as we may be here all night! So, here are my faves!

Jeeze, three blog posts in one week? I'm on a roll!

Hey guys! Can you believe that May is here? 2015 is flying by! And I only realised this morning that I have never done a monthly favourites before! So, here are a few things that I have been loving throughout the month of April!

Candy Floss Hair Trend...Shall I?

The dream. (All photo's were found on google and are not mine!)

Hi there! Firstly, sorry about not blogging for...6 months...

...I've been a little busy.

BUT, I am back! And today, rather than delve into what I've been doing for the last 6 months, which I will explain at some point (just not today), I thought I would talk about something that has literally been on the top of my head for the past year. My hair, to be exact.

As someone who has been dying their hair since they were 14, this new trend of dying your hair an unusual colour has really had me torn. When I first dyed my hair at 14, it was because I was bored with my natural hair colour, as it was a dull, ashy, dirty blonde colour (can I even call it blonde? Probably not...) and at the time, I was super obsessed with the teen star Ashley Tisdale, whom I still adore to this day. When I found out that my favourite actress was naturally a brunette, I thought: "Why can't I have hair like hers? Mine is so boring compared to hers! I WANT HER BLONDE HAIR!"

So, after asking my lovely mum very politely, she agreed to dye my hair for me.

The transformation! 6 years of hair dying! (But still have that disastrous pout...some things never change!) 

After 6 years of box dying, (for anyone interested, I would always use the L'Oreal Paris Nutrisse Cream in the shade Ice Blonde/10.1) it got to a point that my hair was so brassy and damaged, I needed to get to a hair salon to get it the shade I desired. Now, my hair is exactly how I wanted it to be all along (as shown on the right side of the picture above). With extra highlights and lowlights to make it look at least a little bit natural. But still, an urge to be different haunts me.

Recently, the "candy floss" hair trend has been filling up my social media pages every time I log on. And, at first, I was totally not on board. Why would anyone want pink hair? What's the point in it? It looks ridiculous?

However, the more I saw it, the more it grew on me. To a point where I was so intrigued, I even downloaded a "Hair Colour Booth" app on my phone and edited a selfie I took a while ago, to see what I would look like with bubblegum pink hair...and to be honest, I loved it! After experimenting with various shades of pink, the desired shade I would go would be the classic silvery/pale pink shade that is currently the top favourite among others.

Now why I am I in debate about this; to you readers it seems that it's pretty obvious that I really want to join the band wagon, so why am I not? Well, the choice for some people is a lot easier when their jobs allow them. However, in my profession, it's all about looking hire-able. To look like everyone else, to look relatable and to fit in with the crowd. You wouldn't see someone with candy floss hair performing on the west end, or being a Disney Princess, or promoting products on your TV screens. Unfortunately, as happy as I am with my lot, this trend is one that simply have to surpass. And it sucks. A lot. For now, I can only dream.

Possible before and after? I WISH!

But what do you guys think? Leave a comment below if you think I should just bite the bullet and do it! I am only 20, after all! Is now my only chance? Let me know!

Thanks for reading guys, and if you have candy floss hair, I am very jealous of how cool you are!

Love, Fawce xoxo
