ok guys

oh em gee this is going to be super quick but anyway my nan and grandad decided to take me and my cousin to holland so here I am chilling in holland

I'm backkkk

hey guys,sorry for my absence! 

I have actually been on holiday to the most gorgeous relaxing place in England... St.Ives!

St.ives is a small town in Cornwall and is known for there beautiful landscape and beaches which I one hundred percent agree with as its the prettiest place I have been to, infact here's a picture

this was the beach just the other day, it was beautiful and at this time it was about 8 pm and when I took this I was eating a chippy tea from the chip shop down the road,hmmm yummy! 

 

So I'm currently enduring a long 6 hour car journey home...

and with v-fest ( a music festival in Staffordshire ) taking place the traffic is awful so I'd thought I'd take the time to write to you guys as I LOVE YOUUU.

I actually don't know what to write so if a waffle on I do apologise...

so I was in st.ives and I went make up shopping and I thought I'd right a review of what I thought of the products  so far yay!

First up is this gorgeous bright pink lip stick from MUA btw I am really sorry for the quality of the pictures I am in the car...

ok so this bright pink lipstick is the one of the best lip sticks I have ever bought ever!! It's so easy to apply making your lips feel ultra smooth and crack free! It acts like Vaseline and provides a bright vibrant pink to your lips as well. It leaves your lips feeling silky smooth and look bold and bright! This lipstick was purchased at £1.99 and this price is super reasonable as I would of bought it for more than £5's considering the quality and brightness! I highly recommend this to everyone and anyone who likes bright lipstick and smooth lips!

Again I apologise with the quality of the photos it's really hard to take them on the motorway haha

I purchased these zebra print nail wraps because I thought if I had all black nails and one finger zebra on each hand would look really funky and for 5 minutes it did... But then to my disappointment the nail wraps started peeling off. 

These nail wraps were purchased from Claire's accessories for an expensive price of £6.99 and I was somewhat disappointed with the quality of them as they didn't last me for one night. I applied them just as they said on the instructions then had to re apply them again as you can see in the photo above one is missing of that set. 

The result of all black nails on one nail with zebra looking really cool and funky but like I said I was very shocked and disappointed with the standard of the nail wraps and I would not recommend them to anyone.

This is one of my latest purchases and I give it an average of 7/10. This is rimmel London scandal eyes retro glam jet black mascara and was purchased at £4.99- which is a reasonable price. This mascara has a think curved brush to get all of the eye lashes which works great however when applying this mascara I noticed that it clumps your eye lashes up really badly which was disappointing considering I am never disappointed with rimmel London products. However on a brighter note it did give my eye lashes a lengthy volumised look!

That's all for now will be posting more when I'm home... Finally love Lauren..from the motorway!!!

Messy bun step by step guide

Messy bun step by step guide.

Messy Buns are a beauty and fashion blogger fave when it comes to hair styles and I am no exception. I love how they are quick, easy and stylish. This type of hairstyle can be worn for almost any occassion - work, a shopping trip, dinner with friends; you name it!

I went to a family party on Sunday and as I was having a bit of a bad hair day, I decided to sling it up and see what happened. 

Normally I use a hair donut to create this look but as I didn't have one to hand, I had to make do with a hair band and bobbi pins. A lot of this hair style is down to trial and error as each time I do it, it looks slightly different from the time before. It took me about five minutes from start to finish to create and I am going to try and explain how I did it below without confusing you too much.

Step 1:

The first thing I do is brush my hair through with my tangle teezer. I find it easier to work with if it is freshly brushed so I brush it all back from my face until it is smooth and tangle free.

Step 2:

 Next I scoop all of my hair up to the height I want the bun to be and tie it with a hair band. I usually place it on the crown of my head as I find this suits me best. However, if you prefer a higher or lower bun, the same steps apply just tie your hair higher or lower.

Step 3:

When tying my hair up I leave it in a loop instead of pulling all of the hair through as this gives the basic shape for the bun to form around.

Step 4:

I then take a handful of bobbi pins and pull the hair around in until it forms a shape I am happy with. This section is completely trial and error as you can wrap bits of hair around, pin bits under or just pop the bobbi bins in around the base of the hair tie until you create a shape that you are happy with. When I do mine, it doesn't always necessarily look like a bun, more like a messy up-do but I prefer that look to a structured, neat bun.

How to have a casual look

Ok, so with young girls the pressure to look good is getting higher and higher. But you can look good all the time with a typical 'casual look'.

Hair!

So there are two main casual look hair dos that you can do ( I will go into more detail on how you o them on another post ) the first one is the typical messy pony tail 

Messy pony tail

So this is a super quick hair style that looks super cute alllllllll the time, literally you can pull it off whatever the whether, whatever the occasion!
The second one is the messy bun look, which I will upload on the step by step guide to get the super cute easy look.

The bun hair style literally takes me 5 minutes and its so handy to go to school with or even to hang out with friends! I love it!!!

Makeup 

Make up is sometimes so annoying when your in a rush, or when it's just one of those days where you can't be bothered, but you need to wear it to cover up blemishes, so here's my step by step guide for a super quick super casual make up look...

1) if you feel you need to wear foundation wear it, however I only put it on my cheeks when I am going for this look, and then blend it in with the rest of the face, it works for me and looks more natural! Plus you when you want to get dressed up you'll look different from how you do day to day

2) concealer always works and helps cover up extra blemishes 

3) if you wear eye brow pencil put a light layer over the eye brows, I recommend benefit eye brow kits as you can use the shadow palate for a natural look

4) a quick brush of bronzes for a natural warm look

5) finally, a couple of coats of mascara to wake up the eyes 

Clothes!

When you want to just nip out to town with your friends and want to again go for this casual look there are loads to choose from, however here are my top comfy casual faves for you!
1) a chunky cardigan always looks super chic cute and comfy
2) casual pair of jeans work with anything and are super comfy 
3) plimsoles, every girl needs a pair of cool pumps such as converse to wear, they look awesome 
4) home made bracelets, bracelets always add a comfy cute extra to the outfit where ever you go
5) oversized handbags always add a London fashion edge to the outfit
