Are You YOUR Best Average | QUOTE

Hello!

"be around people that make you happy, that have good morals and bring out the best in you!"

I can't remember exactly where I picked this quote up, but I did end up writing it down on the notes section of my phone with intentions of one day sharing it. That day has now come. It's a quote that makes you think: 

a) who are the 5 people you hang around most with?

b) are they a good influence?

"are they a good influence?"

Although there may be pressure (especially in high school) to be with the 'popular' crowd, but really, there is no need. Just be around people that make you happy, that have good morals and bring out the best in you! You want to be the best 'average' you can be, so be around people who inspire you and you're on the way to greatness!

It may be easier said than done, but there are friends for everyone in this world, and you have the control to choose the ones right for you. So, don't bother spending time with those you don't enjoy being around, and have fun being happy!

To round that off: Happy Monday!

What is a quality you admire about your friends? Is it their kindness, humour or simply just because they're great people?!

Bag Essentials: Body Fragrance

Hello!

"Impulse was THE Chanel No. 5 of the adult world."

There are definitely times when you're out and about and find your bag has EVERYTHING in it... except for the one thing you need. Well, this is where this post comes in... one of the staples in your handbag, and a purchase of the week - something I find that is always handy!

"I had owned when it first came out many years ago... Into Glamour is still my fav! "

When I was younger, in secondary school, Impulse was THE Chanel No. 5 of the adult world. It's something every girl knew about and the smell that lingered in the P.E. changing rooms. Well, it's been a few years, but I feel like any girl, young or old, could do with a bit of Impulse. Or any body fragrance, in that case. 

" small, won't weigh your bag down, staple in every gals bag."

Why pick up two, you ask? Well, actually they were on sale. After a spritz or two of both the scents, I have fallen head over heels for 'Into Glamour'. Actually, that was the scent I had owned when it first came out many years ago, and Secret Smile is a new one for me, but Into Glamour is still my fav! 

"any girl, young or old, could do with a bit of Impulse."

Overall, a pretty small, won't weigh your bag down, staple in every gals bag.

What body fragrance/perfume do you keep in your handbag?

Current Everyday Makeup - Less than 5 minutes!

Hello!

Compliments are great, aren't they? Well, when I wear this look, I get a few of them and I thought I'd share a QUICK makeup look that takes me a maximum of 5 minutes to do every morning before I leave the house - because, let's face it, who's fully awake enough to do an entire face of makeup when you have to leave the house in 15 minutes?!

Something that adds a little extra but doesn't make you LOOK extra is the perfect mix for me. This way, I'm wearing makeup, yet tend not to look overdone - because at a college where most people are in jogging bottoms, this isn't cute!

 First of all is the eye makeup. I love eyeshadow pencils. I use the Barry M Eye and Lip Crayon on my lid, then use 'Erotica' from the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette in my crease.
This defines my eye shape and adds a little depth.

I also curl my lashes and then apply mascara - at the moment I've been using Maybelline The Falsies… not sure it beats my favourite mascara of all time, though!

My eye looks red here - I think it's because I'm tired… that's why mascara is important - to make you look more awake - I obviously need it! haha! 

Next is Blush and I have been using 'Golden Hour'. I found this in my mums vanity so I don't know where it's from. I LOVE it, though and have hit MAJOR pan on it - well, basically it's finished! :(
It was a rose gold shade and was gorgeous! I need to find a dupe… ASAP!
I just sweep this on my cheek bones using a MAC 168 brush.

Finally, I use a lip colour! Recently I have been reaching for my Revlon Liquid Lipstick in Perfect Peony. I apply a bit on my lips and then use my fingers to rub it in. It looks so nice and even if it wears off a little bit throughout the day, it doesn't make your lips look bad.

I also use translucent powder if need be but try and avoid foundation.

This has been my current everyday makeup taking me less than 5 minutes!
