Spring is Coming!

Spring is coming!! 

Wasnt Christmas literally yesterday though?... BUT

March is finally here.. thankgod as I am soo sick of wearing layers of boring winter clothes!! You dont seem to find fun, colourful winter clothes anywhere!!

This month, I am determined to do memory making things!! It seems odd as I have chosen a weird month as Uni is still making its presence and all my friends are still at uni (I chose not to move away) BUT like I said IN am so bored with all this staying in malarkey that comes with winter I want to get out the house and do something fun!.. but not going to lie, the bright sunshine today has made this decision for me as it has made me think its summer (then I went out in a summer top and froze on the spot!!) 

But anyway!!

Already this month, I am going to Manchester with Uni on Wednesday to visit a bridal exhibition which is rare to find really so I am super excited about that! 

In the Easter holidays, which just clash over March/April for me this year, I am going to Alton Towers with my boyfriend! My mum brought us tickets for an Christmas present which was a good idea as we can never afford to do things like that nowadays!!

MOST EXCITEDLY.. on the 31st of March, I am going to see MCBUSTED!!!!! Which i am soooo thrilled about but will keep this short as I can go onnnnn and ooon about my love for them!! But I have always loved Busted but a few years ago when i was still in school so about 5 years ago my friends mum played the CD in the car back from gymnastics and i was hooked on all their stuff I hadnt heard of before! So since then I have listened religiously! 

So then when they announced their tour with Mcfly I was over the moon! Im not a huge fan of Mcfly, I like their stuff but I wouldnt pay to see them but I think they are all so so nice, especially Dougie... and Tom's wedding speech won me over too!! I couldnt go last year as I literally had noone to go with!  :( and didnt think they would tour again but i am so so soooo ecstatic to finally see them (i never saw busted live) and very happy to share such a wonderful memory with my gorgeous best friends!! I really hope they stay together forever now as they all seem so so happy to be playing again after their shock split! (especially James! he is just so lovely) Be sure to look out for a blogpost around then too haha! 

Whats everyone elses plans for March? x 

DIY Kim Kardashian Cheap Contour Kit!

When I first heard about Kimmy K's infamous contour routine I was desperate to try it out myself - wasnt everyone? 

You can literally change the shape of your face (and i, for one, am very self conscious and see a LOT of flaws so this was fab!) 

I read about it a lot and the word 'highlighter' constantly came up. So, about 5/6 months ago, I took a trip to boots and searched the shop for highlighters, affordable ones as I am a student!! My boots is very small so they only have a small selection of brands, condensed down to the main products - though every brand has the majority of their space taken up by ALL the shades of nail varnish in the world???? 

Anyway, I couldnt find anything!! So I asked someone and they didnt even know what highlighter was!!! EH?! have they been living under a rock?! I eventually found one from Seventeen - I was delighted, however got home, tried it out and it was as advertised but its a shimmer liquid rather than Kim K's creamy style! So i was a little disappointed and I kept using it for awhile then it made its way to the back of the reject drawer!! (makeup that i cant throw away as it isnt empty but is old/not exactly what I wanted)

I then purchased Sleek's Contour palette - first in just the contour colours in medium. Then after i finished that the light contour palette with the blush too! This is great - its a really nice colour and affordable (contour colours alone - £5.49, with blush £6.49 i think!) and it works wonders! the highlighter is a shimmer but isnt super glittery just catches the light, and the bronzer is just a matte brown which i am glad with as I didnt want to overload on the shimmeriness as it can look far too much!! The blush just adds a nice colour/glow to the apple of your cheeks too!

However, its still not giving me this extreme look as above! 

So - I had a massive brainwave! this may be a simple solution to others haha!!
BUT I have thought, instead of shedding out alot of money cause it has the word 'contour' slapped across it.. why not make my own? Alot of the kits dont have a creamy consistency like above so I thought.. why not get a extremely light/cheap concealer stick and a extremely dark one.. making sure it is brown not orange!!

I picked both of mine up from MUA - superdrug for just a £1 each! 

I apply this similar to Kim K's (but not as extreme as I dont want to be caked in makeup) before my foundation.. making sure it is more darker than I like as by the time youve blended and put your foundation on top its barely there! And then I use my Sleek contour kit just to give that extra bit of definition and i am done :D

A fab DIY contour kit for just £2!! Take that Kim K!
