Why I love Liverpool

Hi Everyone,

As you may already know I am a proud scouser, Liverpool is my home town and no matter where I go in life I will never forget that. Some find Liverpool hard to understand, opinions vary from person to person but this is all the more reason to experience this beautiful city for yourself. I'm going to get straight to the point and give you guys just a few of the reasons why I love Liverpool!

The people are super friendly

Now I suppose some may find the Scouse accent rather "rough" ?? I can assure you this is not the case. Scousers are famous for warm welcomes and going out of their way to help others. If you are lost or maybe even just fancy a chat there is always someone to talk to willing to help you or genuinely just have a gab and a laugh.

A city filled with Arts and Culture

Liverpool truly is a city of culture. With more museums and art galleries then any other UK city excluding the capital you can't miss the creativity. Now do I even have to mention The Beatles!? Everyone knows Liverpool is their hometown just through listening to their incredible world famous songs. This attracts thousands of tourists each year! and the music scene does not end there! Liverpool is filled with music and it certainly does range. Walking through the city centre you will always come across street performers and new fresh talent. Maybe you fancy a theatre visit? We have a so many venues including Liverpool Empire Theatre which is the second largest in the country. How about something a little more modern? Go for the Echo Arena. You are guaranteed to find something you will love!

Its big but not to big

Sounds like an odd thing to say but it's true! As a student I meet people from outside of the city on a regular basis. They constantly say to me how much they love Liverpool because of it's homely feel. It's the type of city were you can always find something new as its very vibrant and theres always something going on. Don't get me wrong it is big, on a night out or walking through town it is unlikely I will see the same faces because there are so many people. But isn't that great? New people, New faces it never gets boring! Despite the size Liverpool is not a city were you will ever feel lost!

Shopping, Food and Nightlife

Yes we have so much of all the things we love. As a Fashion Communication student and blogger I loveeeee shopping! I don't think I could live in a city that did not have many shops available to me because growing up in Liverpool means everything has always been within easy distance. The shops are also very involved with events in the city for example River Island have horse and jockey mannequins as well as stylist events to promote the oh so famous Grand National (yep thats in Liverpool to) As far as food and night life goes there is a lot of it! Anything to suit your needs theres hundreds of places to try and I assure you if you love a good night out you are guaranteed one in Liverpool.

A new reason to love H&M

Hi everyone!

During my fashion internship I have been recently looking up recent events so I thought I would give you all a little intake on one that stood out to me as something I plan on trying out!

H&M are non stop with an empire of womenswear, mens and kidswear and those oh so spectacular designer collaborations. Now to make things more interesting a 700-piece beauty collection!

Stepping out of their comfort zone H&M have gone all out to create a new line of products including makeup, body care, hair and even styling tools. You name it H&M are soon to have it as of October. 

The range includes so many different colours and textures, the looks you could create are endless. Anything from your natural everyday look to a dramatic smoky eye and bold lip.

Hundreds of eyeshadows, lipsticks, nail polish’s and so on are soon to be available in stores and online. The brand have also made their products suitable for every skin tone by developing 20 different shades of foundation. 

The company also plan on releasing a premium body care and conscious line of eco-friendly products later into the year.

We have high expectations for the new launch such as high end beauty for the high street price. High pigmented eyeshadows with no fall out and long lasting are key. The exterior of the products alone is stunning so it is unlikely you will be disappointed.

NAKED on the Run

Hello everyone!

So I am going on holiday soon but I really need to pack lightly! I wanted to try out a few different make up options so I could decide what to take with me. After routing threw my make up drew I found Urban Decay NAKED on the Run Pallet. I don't know how I managed to forget I had this!

As you can see straight away the packaging is absolutely beautiful! The pallet has a really strong plastic box with rose gold detail around the sides. If you have read my Rose Gold Wishlist you will understand how much I love all things Rose Gold.

When I opened the pallet the first thing I noticed was the HUGE mirror. You can also stand the mirror up and it will not move out of place this makes it perfect for clearly applying all the products and ideal for traveling. 

Now for the products... for anyone familiar with Urban Decay you must know that the brand does not disappoint especially when it comes to presentation. Inside the pallet you get mascara, eyeliner, lipgloss, eyeshadows, bronzer, blush and highlighter all put nicely together.

There are 5 eyeshadows that all have different finishes to them, some creating a metallic/shimmer effect and others matte. We all know Urban Decay have AMAZING eyeshadows because of the huge success of the Naked pallets. They are really pigmented, do not have bad fall out, do not crease and paired with eyeshadow primer they last all day! I cannot complain when it comes to using these eyeshadows.

When it comes to bronzer and blusher they are super pigmented! Orange toned bronzer and hot pink blush do not mix but I have found just applying a small amount can look nice. The actually application of the product is easy and smooth. Overall I would of preferred different colours as it does seem like more of an effort being super careful not to apply to much.

The highlighter is a beautiful shade that works well to highlight every part of your face from your brow bone to cheek bone. It completes the look and adds a really nice finish.

You also get a mini version of perversion mascara, when I say mini its not really that small its just skinnier and a little shorter then the original. The applicator brush is the exact same so overall you will achieve the same effect. Not going to lie I am not a huge fan, its not a bad mascara but I just don't think it gives my eyelashes much curl and volume compared to others.

The 24/7 Glide on pencil comes in a deep brown colour that looks almost black. I don't usually use pencil eyeliner but I enjoyed using this one there is kind of a soft feel to it compared to others and I found it was easy to apply.

Onto lipgloss... again the packaging to Naked lipgloss is beautiful! The lipgloss is very sheer so it works well complimenting lipstick or if you wanted a more simple look you could even use this alone. Be aware the texture is really thick and gooey which may not suit to some people, at first I was not fussed but now I have grown to like it more and more.

_______________________

I am not 100% sure if I am going to be taking this with me. I do think it is great for travelling I'm just really undecided on what to choose and as you can see I have mixed feelings. I plan on uploading a blog post on what I take with me so keep checking back if you would like to see.

Any make up suggestions for my holiday?

Have you ever used NAKED on the Run?

Thank you for reading

A picture speaks a thousand words

Seeing as I am new to the blogging scene and this is my first post, I am going to begin by giving you an idea of what my blog is going to be about. Simply I intend to make a fun blog about fashion trends, projects, beauty and skin care reviews and just generally my own opinions on well anything and everything? I see myself as a very creative person and that is what I want to show on my blog! :) I thought the best way to introduce myself to the blogging world would be by posting a few Instagram photographs that show my interests.

University fashion projects, Summer holidays, Gorgeous smelling perfume, Photography and Pretty nails with a ring. Yes I would say this collage pretty much sums me up. (Although I do love my hair, make up and skin care that is all to come in my blog!)
