A Rambly Autumn Update of very exciting things.




So I haven't written a blog post since September 15th because I've been so busy with friends and family, events I've been to and I went on my work experience for 2 weeks therefore i decided to give you an update of what I've been doing the past two months as they have been hectic but so much fun.(None of these photos are in date order)

(First photo)
I've had a lot of cosy Autumn nights in, scrolling through tumblr and drinking hot chocolate while snuggled up in my duvet with some candles lit and of course I had the urge to snap a 'tumblr inspired' photo. As much as I love going out and doing things all the time it's nice to have just a relaxing night in to yourself sometimes.

(Second & Third Photo)
When I was doing my work experience my mum was working just around the corner and one morning when I was sat with her in her shop a little bird flew in and landed on the inside windowsill so my mum picked it up to take it outside, it was so cute and i managed to get a few shots of it before it flew away. (It wasn't hurt at all, he flew away after a little while)

(Fourth, Fifth and Sixth photos)
Me and my friends went to MCM Comic Con this year and it was our second year going, we mainly hung around the VidfestUK section and met some amazing youtubers such as Emma Blackery who was super nice, TomSka who was funny and Jack Howard and Dean Dobbs who I am so glad I got to meet, there were so nice and funny and I wish I hadn't been so embarrassed in front of them but I managed to get a selfie and their signatures so better luck next time for me...maybe?

(Seventh & Eighth Photo)
We all got the train back from Comic Con and one of the change over stations we had to get off at is Stratford shopping centre in London and some of us fancied a drink and seems as it wasn't too late we went inside and on the way in on the video billboard thing Zoe's banner/video thing came up and I squealed with excitement because I love her and her videos so much and it kind of makes me happy that there are good nice people like her doing so well for themselves. We went in and got a Starbucks and I got a hot chocolate and some shortbread biscuits which were delicious and on the train home there weren't any seats but because we were SO tired and our legs ached there was some standing room so we all decided to sit on the floor (it might sound gross but it's not that bad) I had my favourite scarf on, my coat, rolled up jeans, converse and my Starbucks cup and because I've been on tumblr too much I snapped another 'tumblr inspired' photo...aren't I cool.

(Ninth photo)
After Comic Con I stayed round my friend Beth's house and I had a lovely time, we took this photo with our matching Jack and Dean t-shirts on that we brought from Comic Con and we like them a lot. We also carved a pumpkin together with Dan and Phil's faces on.

(Tenth & Eleventh Photo)
Halloween was a few days away and it's been years since I'd carved a pumpkin and this year my dad got me one so I had a lot of fun doing that and I felt like a Kid again. I gave the Pumpkins to my nephews because they really liked it and I sat with all my family having a chat and we all laughed a lot and my nephew was being so cute and he asked if we could take a selfie.

(Twelfth & Thirteenth Photo) 
Beth posted a photo of the Dan and Phil pumpkin we carved on twitter and tagged me, Dan and Phil in it and we had a major freak out because Phil retweed the tweet and our phones were going crazy with mentions and favourites and retweets and we just couldn't handle the fact that Phil had actually retweted Beth's tweet. A week or so later after the commotion of people retweeting etc I was scrolling through some peoples twitter profiles and I went on Dans favourites and had realised that he had favourited Beth's tweet and we hadn't even realised and then we had another major freak out and couldn't handle it all but it was a good laugh and also very cool.

(Fourteenth & Fifteenth Photos)
Me and 2 friends also went to see Ed Sheeran in October and it was AMAZING but I'm not going into to much detail as I will do a separate blog post on that but it was one of the best nights of my life and I had so much fun and I lost my voice.

(Sixteenth Photo)
If you don't know I play guitar and have been doing Grades for my classical Guitar and I very recently managed to pass my Grade 5 Classical Guitar exam with a Merit and I'm so happy because I really thought I wasn't going to pass.

Also I'm going to a big fireworks night on Saturday and was thinking of doing a mini vlog style follow around kind of thing so go and check out my youtube channel to have a look I haven't posted anything yet but I'm hoping to quite soon as I have some ideas in mind.

Sorry if this post was rambly but I've done lots of exciting things recently that I wanted to talk about.

Also follow me on twitter and check out my tumblr page because I reblog some cool stuff...

New Make Up Monday: Rimmel Kate Lipstick






At the beginning of the year I wasn't very brave with my makeup, I would only use subtle colors on my eyes and I wouldn't wear lipstick at all because I was too afraid. It's only recently that I have begun to take risks with different make up products and now I hate to admit that I may have a slight addiction to buying new lip products.
I  haven't purchased any high end lipsticks yet but I plan on doing so very soon, however the drugstore ones I own are amazing. I recently went into superdrug to look around and ended up walking out with 6 items, one of which was the Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in the color Wine 107.
I'd heard of this lipstick through +Zoella in one of  her recent blog posts (drugstore Lipsticks) and seen her wearing it in a few of her videos, never before would I have even looked at a red lipstick in a shop let alone buy one. I thought i'd give it a go and here I am about to tell you how much I LOVE it (so good it deserved capital letters).

Packaging-
Simple red tube with a slanted top embossed with the Rimmel crown and 'Kate' written across the lid. Such simple packaging but it definitely stands out in your make up draw/bag. It's very sleek and it just makes the product simple to use aswell.

Color-
RED. A red lipstick with purpley undertones. This is a darker toned red in preference to a bright red lipstick. It's a color that I would wear in summer or Autumn, maybe even the beginning of winter. It has a sleek, velvety, matt finish and applies easily.

Other-
It has (in my opinion) a very unique smell and I can't decide whether I like it or not however it has zero taste when applied.

Price-
£5.49. Affordable, not the cheapest you can buy but for me very affordable. I think you are paying for what you get and what you get here is a good lipstick worth buying.
