#MYBEAUTIFULSTRUGGLE

   I don't really know what I'm going to call this blog post. I have to discuss Jordan Bone's latest YouTube video "My beautiful struggle". This video had over 25,000 views in 24 hours! ( Congratulations Jordan) . The point of this video was for Jordan to show her viewers The struggle she has to apply make up. It's almost like a behind-the-scenes about how difficult it was to learn to do her make up. She is a positive, beautiful, ambitious inspiration which makes her the perfect role model for so many different people not just those with disabilities. It's not easy to put a video like this online for everyone to see. To admit that you can't do most things for yourself and have to ask for help with everything is difficult. Down to silly little things to normal people ( able people ), like brushing your own hair or dressing yourself. Do you take that for granted ? Maybe ? You probably don't even realise your morning routine is completel

Beginnings of a Bucket List

Recently i've been wanting to travel and do more with my life. To put it simply - I'M BORED! There are things i'd love to do but realistically there not going to happen unless anyone has a fairy godmother i can borrow? Yes being in a wheelchair makes traveling a struggle and an expense! You know dragging a carer around the world and paying for equipment hire at each destination increases the price of that back packing, hostel staying experience. I figured if i make a list ( gotta love a list ) I might start planning to do more. Some things may just be dreams but dream big thats what i say! On a side note i will add some bucket list achievements that i have done. It's a good feeling to accomplish a dream. Own a house Work in Radio Travel across The Golden Gate Bridge Go Parasailing Graduate from University  Watch Star Wars Be in love  Shop in Dubai  Meet an idol -  Whoopi, Tina Turner, Shania Twain, Jennifer Aniston, Barbara Windsor .. my list goes on

FOTD - Summer BBQ

                                     Recently I went to a BBQ on that one day that we had sun this year - haha! Rimmel Lasting Finish Nude Foundation Nude Ivory - £7.99 I wanted a light base with coverage and SPF. This foundation is great for summer because its light, doesn't feel cakey. It also has a    SPF 20 which is great! Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer Cool Medium 2 - £4.19 I love this concealer!! It's my go to at the moment. Quick and easy to use no faff - blends easy. Great for dark circles and blemishes too. Max Factor Creme Puff Blusher Lavish Mauve - £8.99 Perfect summer glow. No need for highlighter because its multi ton al in different lights. Benefit Roller Lash mascara - £19.50 This is one of few mascaras that actually hold a curl! No smudging down my face which is a bonus. Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick 57 Pink Rhapsody - £26.00 Got to love a pink lip! I felt like i needed a bright lip - i've wore nude lips to death recently! I love summer..wher

July Favourites 2015

Not many make up favourites this month because I haven't been wearing much make up recently.  New to me this month the Bourjois colour boost lip crayon in peach on the beach. A Tescos bargain find at £2!! It's a glossy finish which needs reapplying a few times. It feels like to lip balm but with a decent colour payoff.  My Nars radiant creamy concealer has been my best friend this month! (Running out - cry!). I have been on antibiotics this month which have caused me to break out... Good old concealer! It's an oldie but a goodie. If you haven't heard of this product then it's really worth the money because it covers well, lasts all day and doesn't crease.  Paired with concealer I have been wearing my Mac mineralise skin finish powder in medium plus. Which is also running out! Brilliant for a "no makeup makeup", great coverage without looking "powdery".  The Maxfactor 2000 calorie mascara is

June favourites 2015

These are A few products that I have been loving in the last month. They are all actually fairly new because my birthday was the end of May.  Clinique Turnaround Overnight Revitalizing Moisturiser  I visited Bicster Village for my birthday and bought this moisturiser from the cosmetic company which was heavily discounted - WOO! I've been really struggling to find a decent night cream. I have dry skin but also have quite a lot of redness. Since I've been using this I have noticed my skin is a lot less dehydrated and looks brighter in the morning. It claims to be helping with sun damage and anti-ageing which sounds good to me. CHARLOTTE TILBURY Brow lift eyebrow pencil This is literally the best eyebrow product I have ever used! It's got a spoolie brush, a browbone highlight and obviously the pencil. 3 in 1 ticks all the boxes. I've not been very good at doing my eyebrows in the past but this is so easy to use! Well worth the money.

The battle of the Lip Liners

So who isn't obsessed with the nude liner these days? (top to bottom swatches - Charlotte Tilbury, Primark, Essence, Rimmel) I am in love with my Charlotte Tilbury lip cheat in pillow talk and have been searching for an alternative or dupe.  First up Primark! Gotta love Primark. This liner is a close match on colour, especially once applied to lips. And for £1 is decent! It's a good liner and I'm happy with it but it's not quite Charlotte Tilbury. The lasting power isn't the same as pillow talk.  Next Essence. I have already reviewed products from Essence which included this liner. The shade is slightly darker than the Charlotte Tilbury lipliner but the consistency is very similar it has a matte but creamy texture. The most annoying thing about this liner is it doesn't last long at all, maybe a few hours. But yet again it's only £1! Finally Rimmel. I think the whole world and his wife knows about this dupe. Yes the colo

FOTD - Disney edition

                                 So for Christmas my mum bought me and my cousin tickets to Disney on ice magical festival in Nottingham. Me and my cousin absolutely love everything Disney and have been to Disney on ice quite a few times now and this one did not disappoint! These are the products that I used for Disney on ice. I wanted to use gold and red but still keep it quite subtle. For a base I used my wonderful Diorskin Star Foundation (£31.50) paired with my MAC Pro longwear consealer (£17). I wanted to keep it natural but cover the dark circles I have at the moment.       I have fallen in love with my Benefit Rockateur blusher (£23) all over again. That rose gold glow is my perfect every day for spring/summer...actually all year! I think it makes me look like I have contoured... which I haven't because I don't know how to do it properly. I have finally got round to using my Mac Viva Glam Rhianna lipstick (£15). When I first bought this I hated it! It really dried my li

What is plus size?

I am infuriated by the Loose Women discussion the other week about plus size women. Jamelia's opinion more than the other ladies! I understand that ideally we want women to lead a healthy lifestyle and be a healthy weight/size. What is that to say someone who wears a size 20 doesn't lead a healthy life style? Why should it matter if someone is a size 22 or a size 6? I think we are all beautiful in our own way and is long as we are happy with the way we look and feel it shouldn't matter what people think. I suppose that's what it all comes down to what other people think! Nobody is perfect. I bet Jamilia has flaws that she isn't happy about her appearance but will judge other people. The same as I may look at somebody famous and think wow they look amazing, I wish I had their figure...that person might be thinking I hate how big my hips are or something. So I guess what I'm trying to say is we will always hate something about our own appearance and envy those who
