Make Up Tip

Hiii, today I have a make up tip that I found a few years ago and I thought it would be useful to share it with you. 

I hope this doesn't offend anyone because that's not my intention but personally, I am not a fan of clumpy/spider leg lashes. So if you're like me then hopefully, you will like this tip and you will find it useful.

All you need to do is keep an old bottle of mascara that has ran out. Straight after you've put your mascara on, use the brush from the empty bottle and use it as though you were applying mascara. The old brush acts as a blotter. If you apply more than one layer of mascara, obviously do this every time you add a layer.  I can guarantee that you will get clump-free lashes every time.

I hope this works for everyone because I find it so useful and it's so easy!

My Favourite...

Hiii, I thought that I would do a new section where I will show you my favourite of something, like a book or t-shirt. So, today I have my favourite day lipstick for you!

It was so easy to pick this one. Without a doubt, it has to be the Avon Ultra Colour Lipstick Shimmering Shades in the colour Chic which is £7.50. I absolutely love this colour! It looks a darkish brown but when it's on, it's a dark peach/light brown.

It is so easy to wear and it doesn't stand out too much which is good for when you want to wear a lipstick but you don't want anything too much.

The lipstick itself is amazing. It's difficult to find a lipstick that will stay on for quite a while but this one does. You can drink, eat, whatever and it will still be near enough like you've just put it on. 

There is a lot of different types like Matte and Satin and they have so many different colours so I would definitely recommend this to anyone!

Make your own Ripped Jeans!

Hiii, today I have a step-by-step guide on how to rip your jeans. I thought it would be a good thing to do because ripped jeans are so in at the moment and they're easy to make so I hope you enjoy! 

First thing you need to do is mark where you want the rip to be. Mark roughly how long you want the rip to be so you don't go over the top when you're cutting. You can do it freestyle but I prefer doing it like this as it gives you an outline of where you need to cut. 

 Next, grab a pair of scissors, open them out and put one end at the edge of the line. Apply a bit of pressure and drag the end across the line. It might take a few tries but eventually, you will see a rip appearing. 

When you have a big enough rip, really gently pull both sides of the hole apart. this will loosen up some of the threads and give it a really good look. 

If you want a hole rather than a rip, add a bit more force when pulling the sides. 

This is an optional step but you can use a small bit of sandpaper on the edges of the rip to give a really good frayed effect. 

Then add as many as you like! 

I hope you found this useful and easy to do! Let me know in the comments if you need help with anything and I'll get back to you!

Sixth Form

Hiii, I know year 11’s are choosing what to do after high school so I thought I would post this, hopefully explaining a bit more about sixth form to help with your decision! I haven’t wrote this to say you should do this or that but I know a lot of people find it hard to choose what to do so hopefully this clears up anything about sixth form!

Personally, I think sixth form is a great way to transition from high school to higher education. If you’re a shy person, I think it’s especially helpful because it’s a good platform to work from. At high school it’s very teacher based, whereas college or university will be completely different. Sixth form is a half way mark between the both because it’s very independent but the teachers are there whenever you need them so you’re not completely on your own.

Everyone will handle sixth form differently but one piece of advice you will all need is to pick the subjects you like, not the ones you got the best grades in. Obviously you’ve got to be good at the subject but if you take it because you got an A in GCSE, you will not enjoy it at all. The work you get will feel like a chore and that’s definitely not the right way to go about it. You have to have a good interest in it.

The option is open to pick either 3 or 4 subjects. I picked 4 in September (History, Welsh, French and Maths) but ended up dropping one after Christmas because I was finding it difficult to get everything done in time. However, I picked subjects that required quite a lot of time outside of school so this isn’t going to be the case for everyone. Now I’m doing 3, I find that I can spend a lot more time doing the homework in school and can have a free night at home. If you pick 4, the option is always there to drop a subject.

On a positive note...you have a lot more freedom than high school. The teachers treat you like adults and you have more of a say in most things. I’m quite lucky because I have small classes so I have really good relationship with people in my class and also the teachers. There are a lot of people who come from different schools so you will meet so many new people, mostly ones that you never thought you’d be friends with before.

Going to sixth form is something you have to really think about. It’s not an easy option and you shouldn’t do it because you don’t know what else you can do. Although you get good qualifications out of it, look at all of your other options before jumping into anything, and that’s the same for whatever higher education you choose. With any higher education, you have to be prepared to put the work in, otherwise it won’t work!!

I honestly enjoy sixth form but it’s not for everyone. When I was choosing what to do, I spoke to my parents and we set out all of my options and decided sixth form was the best route for me. I think it really helps if you sit down with someone and do a pros and cons list and it should make everything easier.

If you have any questions about subjects, sixth form or anything, leave them in the comments!
