Current Playlist...

• Soundtrack from the movie Jersey Boys, based off Frankie Valli & Four Seasons. I love love love this album!! I watched the show of Jersey Boys on Broadway when I went to New York last year and absolutely loved it, my bestfriend has seen the show so many times I couldn't even tell you how many times. But overall a loved album by all.

Fave tracks;

December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night)

Sherry

My Boyfriends Back

Beggin'

(all absolute classics)

• Meghan Trainor's album, Title. Loving most of the songs on this album as they are all quite fun and a little bit old school in a way. If you liked her recent singles she's released, you'll enjoy the full album.

Fave tracks;

Mr. Almost (Feat. Shy Carter)

My Instagram Photos...

As I was quietly racking my brains on what todays post was going to include I decided to upload a picture to Instagram. And I thought, ah this might be a half decent thing to post...

So here I am.

As I'm a avid user of the ol' Instagram, I thought I'd share with you how I like to edit my photos to ensure they are Instagram-worthy! 

1. I'll usually take the photo on my photo just on the camera, nothing snazzy. I'll have the filters on normal, I don't really like any of the filters that come with the camera app on the iPhone...

2. If I find the photo to zoomed in or its cutting things out when it becomes a square shape on the instagram app, I usually use InstaSize to put a cheeky little white boarder so it all fits on nicely and sometimes i might use one the filters on that app, but honesty is quite rare when I do... and ill just simply save it to my camera role and put it on the Instagram app

Filter from InstaSize; Lincoln

3. I don't really like the Instagram filters either, so I usually just adjust the settings

4. First I'll change the brightness. I like my feed to look quite pretty and bright (shocker I know...) so i tend to pull the brightness up quite a bit. But I make sure it doesn't look overly edited and pixelated. 

5. I'll then change the warmth, I prefer changing it to the colder side. I like it because it looks lighter and more day light almost...

6. This is something new to the Instagram app and thats the fade setting, i have really been loving it recently but again I only use it slightly otherwise I personally think it looks overally edited...

7. I'll do the same with both the Highlights and the Shadows. I'll just mess about with them until I get a brightness I like and matches my feed.

And then I'll just go ahead and hit upload!

Honestly I don't really know if everyone does it this way or if nobody does. You might find this post completely a waste of your time or you'll really enjoy it find out how other people do it, I know I find it quite interesting but everyones different..

(I'm not saying I have great Instagram or even a very interesting one, I just thought I'd share. I would love to know how other people did their so please feel free to leave a comment letting me know..)

My Daily Face

DAILY MAKEUP

(although when I'm at school I probably put in about 40% of this effort...)

My favourite foundation; Rimmel Match Perfection

I have to use the lightest colour in Light Porcelain

Louise Young Essential Palette

Colours; [from left to right] Ting, Maowi, Pom Pom, Black Bear and Sislet

I use the colour Maowi to fill out my brows

Revolution Run Boy Run Palette

 

 Typically, I use the colour Tying To Stop You or Dying To Stop You all over my lid and then add either Girl On Fire and You Are Finally Mine or Break Out From Society in my crease

Roller Lash by Benefit

Fun fact; i actually got this mascara free in Cosmopolitan magazine (i think) but I'm going to have to go out to buy the big one because i love it soo much.

Modesty by Mac

I don't actually own that many Mac lipsticks but the ones I do I LOVE. 

This one was given to me as a gift from a friend and has become a regular in my makeup routine.

Collection Extreme 24 hour felt tip liner

My rather battered Wake Me Up concealer by Rimmel

I think this is like my 9th one and its already running out!!

Another top mascara; Revlon

because my Roller Lash is started to dry up, I've been trying this one, and I actually find it really good until I buy the benefit one again...

Rimmel Natural Bronzer

= LIFE

That is what my face consists of 85% of the time

until next time
