Sweet 16 birthday outings!

Sweet 16!

Hello me darlin's! haha so last night I had my sweet 16 birthday meal and I just felt like doing a blog post for you all so you could be celebrating with me! It was super fun to dress up and do hair and makeup and all that, to me getting ready is half the fun! So here are some pictures from last night and then there's my usual rambles which you are probably used to by now! ;) aha so leggo..

Sometimes the pout is necessary, I didn't contour for no reason you know! hehe

Hair! Now as I previously said to you I don't tend to do many hairstyles with my hair but since this was quite the occasion I decided to head on over to you tube to watch some tutorials! I came across one which I loved, I knew that I wanted a faux hawk style but have it obviously be very girly and pretty! This tutorial was very easy to do as well as easy to follow, if you want to have a look at it then click here but I will try and do my own tutorial on here as mine turned out different to hers but I liked mine better because it was closer to what I had in my head originally. I really liked it and it stayed in perfectly all night and I got a lot of compliments on it so give it a try! This may also be an option for your guys' prom and you could do it yourself because it's so easy and low maintenance. For my meal I wanted my hair off my shoulders because I found that it suited my dress more and I didn't have to worry about it the entire night! The heat protectant and hair spray I showed you in my haul worked like a dream but I will go into that in my review so sit tight for that!

I had Lasagne and a chocolate indulgence sundae afterwards, it was divine!

oops left my Facebook chat with my mom on there look! hahaa

oh look who it is! Yes Becky was there and if you don't know who she is go and read her blog here and she is gorgeous as you can tell and she is the sweetest, funniest person that you will ever meet!..well apart from Jenna Marbles or something! aha

Aw the girlies!

My cake!

My cake was a total suprise to me, my mom did not tell me anything but as you can see it is a giant cupcake and the base is chocolate fingers, which are my absolute faves!! So I loved that aspect as it was well thought out, well done mommy! haha. The icing is white roses which is cute as my favourite flowers are roses! Also the candles were in fact sparklers but obviously you can't see it in this photo, I will nick one off of my friends and get one up for you soon, it will probably be on my Instagram within the next week so if you follow me on there you will see it in full swing! I loved it so so much and I couldn't be more grateful. It made a delicious breakfast this morning! haha.

Us trying to get the cake in the box and then in the bag safely, it was very heavy!!

 ooh! A cheeky midnight photoshoot there! Oh and blurry in places too..I should definitely be a model. ;)

right details!! My dress is Kim Kardashian inspired,I will do an OOTN soon as I didn't take many full body pictures so I will be sure to get that to you but for now here are the details:

Dress: Amazon

Shoes: Deichman

Necklace: Kardashian Kollection

Earrings: Primark and Claires (I have my double lobes pierced)

That's about it for my outfit, in case you couldn't tell I am obsessed with the Kardashians!! To be honest I think I am one really..I was just born in the wrong place that's all! ;) haha I wish but no it was fun to dress up for the night. If you like I could do a makeup tutorial, wait I'm making a lot of promises in this post.. oh well YOLO! yes I just said yolo.

This was just a little post to share my birthday memories with you, sorry if you don't really care about this as it is more of a personal post but don't worry there should be a beauty post tomorrow! Just to clarify my actual birthday is this Tuesday so it's the 25th but last night was just my meal and celebrations! I hope this was of some interest to you, there are more pictures on my Instagram if you want to check those out! I love you all millions and I will see you soon!

Goodbye!

Mini Superdrug haul!

Hello my loves! How are you all? I hope you are having a splendifirous week so far. I know you are not really used to me posting midweek but hey I have a bit of rare spare time so I am going to spend it on you because you deserve it quite frankly! It is just a little haul of things I have ordered and since received from Superdrug (one of my favourite shops ever) and so far I am loving the things I have tried but I will do more of a review of these products in a week or two just so that you know I have used, loved and tested these products so that you get the most honest and knowledgeable review I can possibly give you! So now the ramble is over let's get started!

Hair stuff!

So I never really make that much effort with my hair, it doesn't look a mess by the way I just don't use heat on it or do anything fancy with it. Therefore when my old heat protectant and hairspray ran out I was in no rush to replace them but since my birthday meal is tomorrow and my actual birthday next week, I had no choice but to pop on over to Superdrug and find me some styling products. I kind of already had these L'OREAL Elnett products in mind as I have heard a lot about them and they are very popular yet quite cheap, it was £3.99 for the heat protectant and the sleek hairspray was around the £3.90 mark so not very pricey at all and the actual products are amazing but I will talk about that in my review. Plus the fact that Cheryl Cole endorses them pushed me to purchase these as lets be honest who doesn't want Cheryl's hair?!

Loose Powder!

So lately anyone who knows me will tell you I have been obsessed with the one and only Kim Kardashian lately! I am forever obsessed with the Kardasians to be truthful but lately Kim has been my fave! I am planning on using my birthday shopping spree to get some products to mimic Kims makeup (I will never ever look as good as she does but at least I can try! haha) and loose powder is a huge part of the makeup look and most of you are probably screaming at the screen "It's Ben Nye's Banana powder she uses!" Yes. Believe me when I say that I am fully aware of this but for now I thought I would give this a whirl until I get my Ben Nye. I kind of ordered it in a rush Tuesday morning and so I hadn't watched any reviews or anything before I purchased it but Collection really know how to make inexpensive yet pigmented products as I also religiously worship their concealer so that and this should go hand in hand. So far I am loving it! It definately provides that under eye highlight if you leave it to 'cook' or sink into the skin before sweeping it off and blending it out. The only thing that irritates me a little is that it's very messy as is any loose powder but make sure you do your makeup in your PJ's so as not to ruin your outfit! It is also a tiny bit darker than I imagined since it is shade 1, it is still light but I want a dramatic-ish under eye highlight which it still does but not as well as Ben nye obviously but it is only £2.99 with which you get 20 grams of product which is incredible!

This is kind of in a weird backwards order but this is one of the L'OREAL Elnett products that I purchased and it is the volumising heat protectant that claims to leave hair volumised for a maximum of 3 days! It was £3.99 and it is the one product in this haul that I have yet to try out. Since I have quite long hair that is ombred, it is very important that I protect my hair from heat damage and I trust L'OREAL to do this. It is in really cool packaging that has a 3D effect on the bottle and it also has a lock button near the top which locks the spray trigger so that if you were to pack this and something pushed it, you wouldn't get heat protectant all over your belongings which is always a good thing! I have sprayed it quickly to test it and it is quite thick in consistency, not like a mousse but it definitely isn't a fine or mist like texture but I will let you know how I get on with that soon!

L'OREAL Elnett satin sleek hairspray is my new fave and I've only had it a day! It keeps flyaways at bay relatively well whilst adding shine to the hair. I have found that it also makes my hair softer which is mind blowing for a hairspray! This hairspray is designed for sleek hairstyles such as a slick ponytail, buns, loose curls, it would look awesome on straightened hair! It is described on Superdrug to be best for long hair and I presume this is because people with longer hair are more likely to do these loose hairstyles as anything to big and tight will weigh the hair down and will often just fall out of place! I highly recommend this hairspray! It comes out really easily and keeps my long thick hair in place which is hard to do! I tend to get this 'halo' of flyaways if I put my hair up on a windy day and this hairspray kept the vast majority of my baby hairs in place and in a slicked back ponytail on a windy day (today haha) so this stuff is liquid miracles for me! I had to take my hair down halfway through the day and I could run my fingers through my hair very easily and it didn't feel like I had hairspray in there at all! If anything my hair felt softer! This hairspray also doesn't have that chemical, disgusting smell to it, it just smells quite nice!

Woah that was a big ramble today! I hope you enjoyed it none the less and I hope it helped you in some way! Enjoy the rest of your week and I will see you in my next post! If you follow me on Twitter then you'll probably see me in about 5 minutes haha. #twitteraddict

Bye my lovelies!

Where have I been?

I'm back!

Hello everyone! How are you all? I would first and foremost like to apologise for being a little MIA recently, there is an explanation don't worry! My laptop has been broken for the past couple weeks and it has literally just got back from being fixed and so the first thing I have done is come to talk to you guys as I have missed blogging so so much, but I have also come up with plenty of new ideas so sit tight for those! I hope you haven't missed me too much haha but I am back now so that's all that matters. This is just a little post to update you all!

 A lot has changed in the past few weeks and I am very very happy at the moment! First of all a new coffee shop has opened in my area, and even though I don't like coffee or hot drinks, they do Frapuccino's and I am in love with them! In my opinion that place is better than Starbucks, I know! You probably don't believe me but trust me, oh if you pop on over to my Instagram here I have some pictures of the fraps so you can see how beautiful they are! Every friend I have been with has also agreed that it is a million times better than Starbucks. Sorry to all you Starbucks lovers out there whose hearts I've just destroyed.

It is also my birthday on Tuesday 25th March and it is the sweet 16 and I am oh so excited! It's odd this year because I'm not even thinking about presents or any of that good stuff, I am excited to be 16, to spend time with my friends at my birthday meal, which is taking place this Friday, and to have some QT with my family. It is just a very exciting month and I am glad I now have my laptop back so that I can share it with you guys! Since no one else will listen to me ramble! Haha.

Sorry that there has been no pictures in this post and you have had to read through my nonsense but don't worry it will get better I promise! This is just a quick little post to let you know that I have not disappeared off the face of the Earth, my laptop just did for two or three weeks! I am glad to have you all back with me and I have some new followers so hello and welcome to you!

Love always,

Charlotte x
