I can see!





I've been struggling with my eyes for a while, but kept putting back having a test in fear. Although my prescription isn't strong, trying to study for A levels and not being able to read the board is probably not the smartest move to make. After realising I wouldn't be able start driving lessons without an eye test, I knew id have to get glasses.

It did take me a while to find a pair I liked as I wasn't sure what I wanted and what would suit me. After looking at lots of different places I ended up picking this pair of jigsaw glasses from boots - (click here to view ) . I wanted something that wouldn't go out of fashion and would go with everything.

I am very happy with the result even if they take a while to get use to.

Messy college hair of the day







College isn't always the place to get dressed up. However the other day I did my hair a little different as it was a) a little greasy and b) had second day curls. instead with my hair I did a simple side bun but added a loose braid around it. It many not be the neatest hairstyle but I really like this for day to day to jazz up a basic college outfit.

Maybelline 24HR colour tattoo - Eternal gold, Permanent Taupe and Immortal Charcoal








The product itself is very cheap for the quality of the product you receive, solid cream eye-shadow. Its very highly pigmented and lasts all day, at least 10 hours. I especially like all 3 because they can either be worn as a base or by them self if im having a lazy day or in a rush, also they don't crease easily which is a major plus.  

Maybelline 24HR Colour Tattoo sell for £4.99 however I bought these 3 in the Superdrug 3 for 2 which is now on so definitely recommend a look. So for the  packaging, it comes in a  little weighty glass jar which makes it feel more expensive. Such as the Stila smudge pots which my review of is here, or mac paint pots.

The colours I chose where Eternal Gold, permanent taupe and immortal charcoal. Eternal Gold is a beautiful yellow gold shimmer, Permanent taupe is a grey colour with a slight hint of brown and immortal charcoal a darker shimmery grey. All of which I really like which I know I will get a lot of use out of. The consistency of the products I also really like as they are very creaming yet they don't feel sticky on.

Floral headband and braids - Hairstyle of the day





Having ombre hair im always trying to find new hairstyles that makes my hair more interesting. The other day I decided to mix together this floral headband (from Dorothy Perkins last year I believe) with two braids. All I did was do two braids at the front of my hair and then place the floral headband on top of my head. Carefully wrap the two braids around the headband and your done!

Very simple but its still a beautiful summer hairstyle!
