Quick Beauty Tip!

Firstly, I am not encouraging this, and never drink if you are under age. Also you should never lie to your parents so please be careful and responsible.....

My new skin care secret is using vodka on my face. Sounds crazy but is very effective.

Make sure your face is clean to start with, get some cotton wool balls or pads and pour a little bit of vodka on to one and simply wipe on to your face (avoiding your eye area) use as many pads as you need.Doing this will clean out your pores and tighten them, making your skin look smoother and clearer....result!

Love Katie x x x

sorry sorry sorry, i know its been ages! so here's a quick update; i started year 10 woohoo! comment down below about how your new school/work year is going so far! as a growing teenage girl, boys tend to come into the equation, all you girls now exactly what I'm taking about ;)

 trend alert! still loving the retro and vintage vibes, but in England the sun has decided to come out in the middle of September, blazing hot weather! right now the jumpers have been put away, and my favourite denim shirt has risen from the pile, for the mixture of the weather and the style. pairing with red converse, curled hair and bright red lips and I'm good to go.
I will try to be back asap, love katie x x x

Hows everyone doing today?

So as you all should know if you read my last post, I went shopping!

 

The first thing I brought was an adorable top, with lots of little black moustaches on it, I'm all for following the trends, and I just had to get it. This top was £11 for quiz....

 

To continue the moustache theme I also brought a ring, from river island for just £4, bargain!

 

 

 

So now from my holiday to Portugal I've got lots of gorgeous things to share....

First I got a very retro feeling cardigan, which is a look I'm planning on wearing in the autumn or 'fall' I just loved its bright floral print against the black body and it was so soft, hmmm. This was from a shop called bershka, for 20 euros, about £18.

 

 

That's it for clothing, so now onto another favourite of mine, makeup and bits 'n' bobs!
I decided to buy some new lip products, an orange lip gloss and a pink lipstick which were both 1.50 euros each (about £1)....

 

Then I picked up to eye shadows, one swirly earth tone one which came in a cute dome case, it reminded me alot of the MAC ones and an eye shadow pencil in a pale pink, they were also 1.50 euros each....

 

 

 And finally I picked up a pretty eye bracelet, as I believe that they do prevent evil from life, I found a dark blue one so it goes with most outfits, from a small town market stall for 1 euro. I also brought a Portuguese chicken magnet, I love the bright colours in it...and it reminds me of Nandos :D

 

 

I hope you enjoyed looking through all the things I have brought from my travels

Hello everyone, I'm back! I had an amazing holiday in Portugal, if any of you have been lucky enough to go there, you'll now what a great place it is, the sun, the sea, the culture, the food.....perfection. I didn't get back till very late last night which means I unfortunatley have a lot of unpacking to do, suitcases full of all my clothes and cosmetics, its not really as fun as packing to leave England, as you have to stay here in the awful rainy weather. But with some good news I am going back to lakeside shopping centre tomrrow, so I'll have lots of beauty and fashion buys to share with you all, yay! I'll also show you some of the outfits I wore on holiday (hopefully) and the things I brought whilst I was out there.

If you have been to the Algarve, I pray you went to the Algarve shopping centre! Or if anyone has been to Tunes, Guia or Villamora, let me know what you thought about it! I'd love to hear about your summer holiday experiences!

love always Katie x x x

Holiday Must Haves!

Helloooo everyone, sorry its been a while since I last posted my computer has been having some 'techinal difficulties'

Now that's all sorted i can tell you three of my holiday must haves, as I'm going away to Portugal on Sunday! eeeppp, guess that means you wont be hearing from me for a week, but I'll come back with plenty to share :)

The first thing I brought was some disposable razors, yay, so exciting. But seriously these are great for holidays because you can throw them away when your finished with them and wont have to forget to bring your nice expensive razor back home.....like i did last summer. I brought these pretty multi coloured ones for about £1.50  from sprog and they are quite darn good.

Next I picked up a face mask, that's in white chocolate flavour, just a shame you cant eat it...

smells fab and leaves your skin feeling great for just 99p form superdrugs own brand! lurrvely  

 And last of all a gorgeous bikini, one thing you cant go on holiday without! I love the bright coral colour and cute little polka dots, as well as the way the bottoms matched the straps of the top, very good detail. This was a super bargain from primark for just £6 for both the top and bottom!

Hope to being reading through some comments and I'll be back soon, byee!  Katiex x x

Hello to all my blog readers, hows things?I've been thinking instead of just writing about fashion and beauty, i might make things a little bit more personal about my life. how does that sound to all of you,
you can be kept up to date with anything interesting i get up to and i might occasionally write for your opinions, so your comments would be a GREAT help to me....

starting NOW, does anyone out there know about any modelling competitions or something i can enter into, in London, England, for a 14 year old girl. any thing with my appreciated, more posts coming soon

cheers guys, love Katie x x x <3

Hellooo everyone, sorry its been a while, had lots of long days of shopping to do, so lets see what I brought....

I bought this lovely headband from primark for just £1 in the sale, got to love a bargain. it sits nicely on your head and does look rather elegant on...I just liked the fact that it had lots of gems that sparkled!
















The next naughty purchase was a beige studded tote bag, another great deal for £12 from none other than primark, again rocking out the stud trend.

Finally for the clothing buys I brought a sheer chiffon fabric top, sleeveless with a cage cut out high neck...three words...to. die. for. even thought it is black you can easily pull it off in the summer because its a veryyyy light fabric, stunning. for £8, primark...clearly my favourite shop at the moment. In the photo below I paired it with black leggings, and to dress it up added a clutch and caged wedges. if not I would wear it with a pretty skirt, high waisted shorts, or just plain jeans.






















Now for a few beauty buys...same effect as beauty sleep, but in a bottle that doesn't take 10 hours to achieve.

Starting with a foundation: I have to give this 5 stars, its a smooth liquid foundation, which I can assure you, does really give you a clear skin tone, covering up any marks such as freckles and under eye circles. for just £9, form maybelline. I wear the shade ivory.....I'm just a pale gally.

Next i just had to try Barry M's new chameleon nail polish! how cool does it look? For those of you who haven't seen it, get your self down to the shops or on their website. amazinggg. By putting a clear coat over it it changes colour :o an easy and quick way to pattern your nails. I bought mine in shade 330, a pink colour which then changes to a purple, for just £4, lovelyyyy.

 I hope you all enjoyed reading thought this, don't be scared to comment with your thoughts, what are your top buys recently? I'd love to know, until next time....byeeeee Katie x x x

Hi everyone, just a quick update to say that i went shopping today (at lakeside of your interested) so bare with me, pictures of my lil haul will be coming up tomorrow...

I have a discovery to share with you all! this amazingly cute, summery nail design...little ice lollies and here's how to create them....

you will need:
a white nail varnish
enough bright pastel coloured nail varnish to cover your nails
a brown nail varnish
and for extra try using a top coat of clear, glittery nail varnish

start by painting your nails white, use enough layers so its a nice strong colour
then select a colour and paint down to just half way above the tip of your nail (so that its left white)
next draw a little brown line starting at the tip, up to where the colour starts
you can then cover the coloured section of your nail in glitter!

use this process for all nails and have fun showing them off wooo!


The nail varnishes i used...from left to right:

Bourjois Paris 1 second dry shade 18
Barry m blueberry ice cream shade 306
Barry m pink flamingo shade 305
2true shade 12
white nail varnish from Clarie's accessories
yellow and brown nail varnish from nails supreme set ( i got mine in Hamleys in Lodon :D)

hope you enjoined this, ta ta for now! x x x
