Ombre Hair

Hiiiiii everyone!!! :)
For the past couple of months I have been trying to decide what to do with my hair. It has been the same for years and it's time for a change, but I am reluctant to cut it. It is very long but I don't want to chop it off,so I thought about changing the colour instead. I am definitely not brave enough to dye my entire head, but I have been really loving the Ombre hair styles. It isn't as much of a commitment, but it is still a nice change. Plus I think it looks sick.

I originally got this idea from Youtuber's Zoella (Zoe) and Sprinkle of Glitter (Louis). They both have ombre hair and I absolutely adore it! I think it is something that would suit me as well. :)

 My hair is dark brown, so I don't want to go too blonde as that might look bad. I also thought of doing a different colour like blue or purple, but I was afraid that it would look terrible once it faded(I've seen this happen, especially with blue). After a lot of consideration, I have decided on a reddish-copper colour, similar to Bella Thorne's hair colour. My hair dresser also helped me choose something that would go nicely with my hair colour.

I have booked my hair appointment for next week and I cannot wait. I will definitely share the final results with you, so hopefully it turns out nicely!

My Sister's Grad :)

Hiiii! :)

 

This evening was my sisters grade 8 graduation and I was so proud of her! It was nice being able to go back to my elementary school and see her graduate. She actually had the same teacher for grade 8 that I did. My sister and I both love this teacher, she is amazing!  

My sister looked beautiful and her dress was so pretty! I got to do her makeup (which she doesn't ever let me do.... she hates makeup:P) It is just hard to believe how grown up my little sister is getting. The ceremony was lovely and they had a cute little slide show with everyone's baby pictures at the end. Afterwards everyone went outside for pictures and then we got refreshments and stuff in the gym. I'm kind of sad since I didn't actually get a picture with her... it was quite chaotic!

Doesn't she look beautiful! :)

I let her borrow my bow clip since it went with her dress perfectly! :)

It was such a lovely evening and I'm glad I got to share this special day with my sister, I love her dearly! :) <3

I hope you all have a wonderful day,

Pretty in Pink

Hiiii! :)

I want to share with you a certain lipstick that I have been loving for the past little while.

I did not  actually start wearing lipstick until a few months ago, and so it is probably no surprise that I am not yet comfortable wearing very bold colours (unless it's for a special occasion). I prefer to stick with softer coloured lipsticks that I can wear for outings such as shopping with my friends or going out for lunch. A few months ago I purchased the Lasting Finish by Kate Moss Lipstick (Rimmel London) in 103. 

It is a gorgeous pink matte colour and I have worn it sooooo much in May and June. It is just perfect for me. It's not a scary/bold shade but it isn't so soft that you can't see it. I also like the fact that it is not glittery, it's more of just an every day lipstick. A bonus is that it is a drugstore lipstick so it isn't expensive :)

I apologize for the awful lighting!

The staying power of this lipstick is awesome , and it is very pigmented. I do however find that it can be drying so I usually put a bit of lip balm on before I use it.

It is just so pretty and I love wearing it. If you are looking for a good, cheap lipstick I would definitely recommend these Rimmel London Kate Moss ones!

I hope you all have a lovely day!

Cool Stripes

Hiiii! :)
I was a little bored this afternoon so I decided to do my nails again, but instead of just painting them normally I wanted to try something different. About a year ago I bought a cheap pack of paint brushes to use on my nails. Normally I just used the thinner ones to make simple designs, but I recently came across a nail design that uses a fan brush. One of those brushes came in the pack I bought but I didn't know what to use it for so I just ignored it. When I finally found something I could use it for I was very excited.

Fan Brush

 

Pacific Blue, Mint Sorbet and Pink Lingerie

First, I did the base coat in Sally Hansen's Mint Sorbet, and then the horizontal stripes were done in Sally Hansen's Pacific Blue and Revlon's Pink Lingerie. I simply dipped the fan brush into the pink first and swiped across horizontally from the left and right side of the nail. I then did this with the blue polish.
 The good thing about this is that it's so easy to do and it looks sick! I'm glad that I gave it a go and I will definitely be trying this design with different colours.
 Feel free to leave any thoughts below  and I hope you all have a fantastic day! :)

May Favourites

Hiiii :)

As you are all aware, May has ended and we are already a few days into June. This means that it is time for my monthly favourites. I am going to include anything that I have really enjoyed this month, and there is no specific category.

First, I want to start with two items that I have worn a lot over the course of May. First there is my Sleek makeup palette in storm which I purchased at the beginning of the month. A few of the Youtubers I watch have mentioned these palettes and I wanted to try one. I am glad I got it because it is wonderful! It is kind of difficult to see in the picture, but I definitely use the more neutral brown/gold shadows more. I have worn this for the majority of the month and the colour payoff is amazing! It also has good lasting power.  The palette comes with both shimmery and matte colours which I really like as well. It is not only amazing quality, but the price was phenomenal as well! I had to order it online but the total was just under $13 (and that includes shipping).

 Another eyeshadow that I had to include is the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze. I bought about two weeks ago and it was worth every penny! The colour is so pretty, and it's neutral so its perfect for every day.I usually just wear it alone because I like the way it looks. It literally lasts all day! I went out with my friends last week during the day, and then I had a soccer game in the evening. When I got home this eyeshadow was still on.

I just love both of these items!

Another favourite that is in the cosmetics category is the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream. I don't like having a lot of makeup and stuff on my face, so this was perfect! It's very light yet it evens out my skin and makes it look nicer. I don't really need a lot of coverage, so this is a great product for me because it isn't super thick.  It also has SPF 30 which I really like because my faces burns quite easily, plus it is oil free.  I usually wear it any time that I'm leaving the house.

A few weeks ago I also bought Biosilk Silk Therapy Conditioner. Usually this product is close to $20 which can be a bit expensive for conditioner. I went to winners though and it was only 10 bucks so I got it and I am so happy I did! My hair can get very frizzy, especially in the summer months. When I started using this it really helped with the frizz and made my hair feel a lot softer. It also has a fantastic scent. It just makes my hair feel amazing and much healthier. The bottle is quite large too, so it is lasting a long time which is always good! :)

For music, my favourite would have to be the new Bastille CD. You may remember this from one of my previous blog posts about the new albums that I purchased. I have been listening to this pretty much nonstop all month! The album is just amazing and perfect for any mood that I'm in. It is just perfect in every way!

My favourite movie for this month is the Lorax. I have watched in numerous times and I never get sick of it! The music is perfect and it is just so cute. It had a good message and it is a very well done movie. Plus Zac Efron is in it (well his voice) and I just love him! I got it for only $10 which is a great deal. If you have not seen this movie I would definitely recommend it!

My final favourite for the month of May is my Pink Floyd shirt. I got this shirt in May as well and I love wearing it. First of all it is super comfy and it's nice and loose. The material is thin so it is perfect for the summer, and the back has neat rips all along the back. Plus there are cool studs on the shoulders. I got it from Urban Planet and it was a great price. I have been wearing it a lot and it just makes me feel a bit edgy!

Well those are my favourites from May. Feel free to leave any of your thoughts below, or let me know what some of your favourites were. I hope you all have a fantastic day!

Cute As A Button

Hiii:)

I have this little obsession with nail polish that usually begins every spring and lasts until school begins again. I absolutely love buying all the different colours and painting my nails. I think my nail painting skills have definitely improved with the amount that I paint them :) I tend not to do my nails as often in the winter months because school, hockey and other activities keep me busy and there is simply not enough time. Although I love doing my nails it is a tedious task as I hate waiting for them to dry. I always seem to chip them not long after as well which is kind of my own fault!

Anyways, today I did my nails and I wanted to share it with you as the colour I used is one of my favourites at the moment.

 There are two colours on my nails at the moment but the pinky coral one is my favourite. I hadn't had a chance to try the white one and I figured these colours went nicely together. I wouldn't really call the white nail polish "sparkly" but there is a definite shimmer in it. It didn't really turn up great in the picture although the second picture captures it a bit. I do really like this one as well but the coral is just amazing! Every time I wear it someone compliments me on it. It lasts for a good amount of time and I think it is perfect for this season. I just got it about a month or two ago and I have already worn it three times. I just think it is soooo pretty:)

     The pink-coral colour is called "cute as a button" (essie) and the shimmery white is "It's All About the Glam"(Nicole by OPI). These nail polishes can be expensive sometimes but I was able to get both of these on sale at a very good price. I am very happy with both of these polishes. 

Feel free to leave any thoughts below, and I hope you all have a wonderful day! :)
