Morning routine (school edition)

I love watching these kind of YouTube videos and reading blogs so I thought I should take a shot and make my own! This is a typical school day and obviously doesn't happen every single day, but most days. 

So when my alarm deafens me in the morning i obviously turn it off because it's the worst part of my day and I'm sure you'd all agree! I lie in bed just thinking about how much I hate school and scrolling through my social media for 5-15 minutes depending on how many times I hit snooze. I then attempt to roll out of bed and usually hurt myself or walk into a few doors in the process of taking myself to the bathroom. 

When I get to the bathroom I just do my business.(tmi) I shower every night so I have more time to sleep in the mornings which is always an advantage for people who aren't morning people! 

I brush my teeth (and braces-sucks to be me) with Colgate maximum protection toothpaste. It's a toothpaste there's not much to say about it. I like it and it cleans my teeth I guess that's what you want in a toothpaste. I then carry out my skincare  routine. I wash my face with the clean and clear advantage foam wash. I love this so much, it smells really good, but it doesn't make my skin break out more because of the fragrance with is good. It definitely cleans my skin and helps control my acne. After I just exfoliate my face, I usually change up my exfoliator, but currently I'm using witch naturally clear exfoliating wash. This really helps my skin clear up and really takes the dirt and bacteria out of my pores and makes my skin so soft. I put on a light layer of moisturiser before I apply my makeup. I just do the routine I already posted every day. (http://daisiesandsunsets.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/school-makeup-routine.html?m=1) I then just go with one of my go to hair styles! (Post will also be coming soon) I then just head downstairs into the kitchen and grab something to eat. It's usually just a cereal bar or something really quick because I usually don't have time. Then I just grab my bag and leave for school unfortunately! 

So this post actually took a really long time, but I really enjoyed it. I think I'm gonna do some more routines in future posts! Let me know what you guys think and what kind of posts you would like to see!:) 

Until next time.

School makeup routine

I thought I'd just show you guys what I use in my school make-up routine. I love all these products so much. all products are drug store, because i mean im a teenager, I don't have lot of money. i bought all these products with my own money and this isn't sponsored whatsoever:)

RT core collection £21.99

every day i use the buffing brush and contour brush from this set. i love real technique brushes so much just because theyre such great quality for how cheap they are. i also got this set half price during summer so got this for only £10.99. there are always offers on so you can get it for wayyy cheaper. 

  

collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer: £4.19 

This is my holy grail concealer! its so thick and creamy, so its great for blemishes. it has a really fully coverage and doesn't wear off during the day. i usually use this on blemishes and spots, but if i have really dark circles under my eyes i would use it under my eyes too. 

i love this concealer for under my eyes, when i don't have really dark circles, it doesnt have too much coverage and the colour range is quite bad in the boots where i live. but i still love the product. 

Maybelline master sculpt: £6.99

i dont use this everyday, but when i have extra time and want to add some definition i love to contour or just highlight a little, i love this product, its so cheap and the pigment in it is AH-mazing! the highlighter just makes you look as if you have a really healthy glow which i love.

rimmel wake me up mascara: £7.99

this mascara. wow. the smell is so refreshing, every time i lift it i smell it first. it really lengthens my tiny lashes and adds volume! definitely my holy grail mascara lately!

rimmel stay matte pressed powder £3.99

lemme just say this powder is woooow. i've used it for like 5 years now and let me tell you. it works! i have super oily skin and this helps my makeup saty without a prmer or setting spray ALL day! if you haven't tried this yet, go buy it now!!   

vaseline: £1.30

i mean, vaseline pretty straightforward right?

collection 2000 brow kit: £3.99

this stuff is so good! at least one colour is usually useless, but for the price why would you care? it lasts all day. it also come with a little brush to apply the powder and also a clear brow gel to set the product. if you're on a budget definitely get this!

until next time.

falling in love with autumn

I absolutely love autumn, it's my favourite time of the year. I love being able to pull my woolly jumpers and boots out and the fact the jumpers are still so comfy and soft after years is amazing. I love the changing scenery, the leaves changing from vibrant green to rusty orange and hazelnut brown to fall on the ground and strolling through whilst the crunch of the leaves are so satisfying. Darkness falls earlier each day and the Christmas spirit creeps in slowly but surely. cold drinks are left behind in the summer and hot chocolate, lattes and teas are brought back. (because who wants brain freeze in the colder seasons?) i love dark lips and neutral eyes. gloves hats and scarves. (i live in the UK it's freezing in autumn) seeing your breath in the air. Halloween. pumpkins. candy apples. pumpkin spice candles (and of course latte).i love autumn walks, it feels as if you have an umbrella of golds, reds, oranges browns over your head, everywhere you walk- well at least if there's trees. i just love the atmosphere and obviously the scenery. the photo opportunities there is overwhelms me. the crisp wind with the delightful smell of pumpkin pie gushing through the air. i love autumn.
