Va Va Voom!

Last week I was fortunate enough to win two tickets to see Nicki Minaj live at Newcastle! I only found out I'd won them at 3pm on the day of the actual concert so it was a nightmare to get ready since I had nothing fabulous enough for Ms. Minaj.


Can I just say how gorgeous she is in real life? She's absolutely tiny, like a little doll! She's also really good live and it was nice to see that she knew what her vocal capabilities live were so she could adlib the parts she couldn't do on her own. She's also a superb dancer and as someone who wasn't a really big Nicki fan, I ended up really enjoying myself.


She was really explicit live, it's enough to make a girl blush.






I'm just really surprised at how much I ended up enjoying myself.

This isn't my video below, I was at the side as I had won front block seating tickets but I loved this performance.

Fun Nights

Awhile back, another member of our family turned 18. There's lots of 18ths this year so we've been spoiling ourselves with fancy restaurants and boozy nights out. It's really fun!

I had only 30 minutes to do my hair and make-up because I'd just finished work. I think I managed to pull it off although it wasn't as nice as I'd have liked. I told everyone I was rocking the 'au natural' look tee hee.


See? It was very natural looking! I've been using this picture as my Twitter picture for the longest time now. I just like it! My code for that night was as follows:


Dress: Lipsy
Shoes: Irregular Choice
Bracelet: Versace

I just wanted to keep my outfit as simple as my make-up. And those shoes... oh gosh I just think they're my favourite! They're just so girly and comfy and pretty and I genuinely get disappointed if I can't wear them out!

Another gpoy because I know you guys just love them:


We all met up at the pub around the corner from my house ha ha. It was raining really badly so I was glad just to get there dry and to avoid having my cousin's dog jumping up on me for cuddles. I'd just booked my eye surgery so I was explaining the procedure to my cousin, Ian, and I turned and saw one of my Aunts doing this:


No Aunt, that is to put beer on. Not to put on your nose. Please take it off.


We made it to the restaurant and they gave us a very, very long table to sit on because there was so many of us! It felt like a banquet.


It was then that Annie noticed my camera. Woopsiedaisy.




Mum please take that peg out of your hair....

I want to talk about my little sister. I adore her, please don't think that I don't. But wow she is so vain for a 13 year old! She takes a lot of pictures of herself and whenever people went to the loo and left their phones behind she took pictures of herself! She got pictures on my phone and my cousin's boyfriend's phone. So in revenge I've decided to post them here!



It's hard to believe she's only thirteen!

And because this is a restaurant post I thought I would post a picture of my food. It was delicious and just perfect (even though I had toothache because of my wisdom teeth coming through).


Yummy!

5 Magical Make-Up Tips

Recently, I've been having so much fun recording make-up looks for YouTube. I'm very shy and I still feel incredibly awkward about them but they're just so much fun to do! Whilst I've been filming them I've noticed that I always seem to have a little, handy tip and I have a tendency to want to say them every video which is ridiculous.

So here's 5 of my top make-up tips especially for you guys!

1.) This is my biggest bugbear but when applying blusher, don't smile. Applying blush on your apples of your cheeks when smiling looks great until you look at everyone with a straight face. Then it just looks nasty and out of place.

2.) Instead of splashing out on pricey heated eyelash curlers, just quickly blowdry your current pair. BAM. Instant heated eyelash curlers. Just make sure not to burn your eyelashes with them.


3.) If you feel a little shaky about applying liquid eyeliner, use a kohl eyeliner to do a quick line and then go over the top with it with a liquid eyeliner. The kohl liner acts like a guide.

4.) Sudocrem isn't just for babies bums. It's absolutely amazing for clearing up bad skin and killing spots. My younger sister uses it every day and her once acne prone skin has completely cleared up! Just apply it over your blemishes and wash it off the next morning and ZAP, that spot is dead.


Well. I lied! Number 5 is for you to share your weird and handy beauty tips with me.

Just leave a comment and let me know what your secrets are!

All the Cosplaying!

As you all know I'm a cosplayer. And as a cosplayer I'm always looking for new characters to cosplay as and I've recently become such an Avatar fan I couldn't resist cosplaying two of my favourite ladies from the series.

First up we have Ty Lee.

Ty Lee is such a cutiepie and she's so bubbly and happy and I just adore her. She's so sweet!

I have a wig test and the full cosplay for her done now!




I am so crazy excited to cosplay her, you guys have no idea! I'm just worried about the whole tummy showing thing but if I can do Inori, this should be no trouble at all.


The next lady I am doing is Asami Sato from The Legend of Korra. I didn't think I'd suit her as well as I do! Make-up is wonderful.


Rather embarrassingly I did a make-up tutorial for her. I feel so awkward and embarrassed and I mumble a lot. Woops.
