Not a lot
of people can say that they sat in a café with 5sos for over an hour, but after
this weekend I can safely say that I did. I SAT IN A CAFÉ WITH 5SOS FOR OVER AN
HOUR! I still haven’t screamed about it. It all still feels like a dream. Okay
let me start from the beginning.
5 Seconds
of Summer are made up of 4 teenage boys from Australia. They started off with
posting videos on Youtube and soon came together as a band and are currently
touring with One Direction. This pop rock band was formed in Sydney in 2011.
The band includes Luke Hemmings (vocals, guitar), Michael Clifford (guitar,
vocals), Calum Hood (bass guitar, vocals) and Ashton Irwin (drums, vocals).
Honestly, a
few months ago I wasn’t a huge fan of these boys. It was only early this year
(2013) that I actually fell deeply in love with them. I had heard of them and
heard them sing but I was never a really big fan that made it my mission to
know everything about them (I’m still not like that now btw). Soon all my
friends were talking about them non-stop and they were all I would hear about
for months and months. I finally bought their songs on itunes and before I knew
it, they had become my most regularly played artist. I couldn’t stop listening
to them, seriously they were and still are all I listen to! I never became that
fan that would tweet them a million times a day to get noticed or watch every
single interview or video that they have, I don’t think that determines how big
of a fan you are. But I did genuinely really enjoy their music and they just
made me really happy.
So the
first time they came to Perth, which was the 8th of June for their
Pants Down Tour, I didn’t get tickets to go. I didn’t really try to get
tickets, I just thought I would give the people who really did love 5sos a lot
a chance to go, cause I would have hated myself if I had taken away a true fans
chance away to see the boys. I also had a very, very big exam to study for so
yeah I didn’t get tickets. Besides, I knew they were opening for One Direction
anyway and thought that would be good enough.
The time
finally came for the One Direction show, and they arrived in Perth which was
honestly the most exciting time of my life. I had stayed up all night on
twitter just to hear about them landing, I don’t even know why I did it or how
it would benefit me, it was just so exciting and thrilling. I ended up staying
up till 2am on a school night just because I was so excited about them being in
Perth. So the next day on Thursday 26th September, I went with my
friends Nicola and Sharin to the Crown Hotel to see if we could just get a
glimpse of One Direction, not even knowing that 5sos were staying there too. We
had no luck with either of them, but we did see Josh Devine (One Directions
drummer). The next day on Friday I went with my friends Nicola and Kayley. We
found out that 5sos were staying at the Promenade which is connected to the
Crown so we ventured up there only to find Luke’s mum sitting there drinking
coffee. This got me very excited as it confirmed the fact in my head that the
boys were actually in Perth. I was so tempted to go up to her and ask her to
help me meet the boys but I didn’t want to appear rude.
After finding
my friend, Lauren (@LaurenM_Green on twitter), I went to show her that Luke’s
mum was in the café in the promenade. However, when we went there, Luke’s mum
wasn’t sitting there but the actual Luke Hemmings was. I had built up all that
courage to talk to Luke’s mum to try and help us meet Luke, I wasn’t prepared
to actually see Luke Hemmings, or any of the 5sos members for that matter. I
thought that Nicola and Kayley were standing next to me but they weren’t, they
were outside the lobby so I sprinted out to get them. Luke saw my little freak
out and probably thought I was going to go and tell everyone that they were
there so he got up which revealed Ashton and Calum. They started walking to a
nearby restaurant called The Merrywell.
After that
we had given up so we went to mcdonalds to get some ice cream and then we had
to go back to the hotel to wait for my mum to pick us up. We sat on the side of
the road outside their hotel for about 5 minutes and then we see Calum and Luke
walking into the hotel. I said hi to Calum and he waved back and they both
entered the hotel. At this point we didn’t really know what to do so we just
continued to sit on the side of the road, I didn’t see this but apparently
Ashton had sneaked behind us and entered the hotel, we saw that he was taking
pictures with girls in the lobby so we went in. That’s when we first talked to
Ashton. Now I don’t really know how to write this so I’m just going to write
out our conversation in script form so here we go:
Me: Hi
Ashton! How are you?
Ashton:
Hey! I’m good!
Me: Is Luke
alright? He looked really sad.
Ashton: Nah
he’s fine, he just needed to pee.
Me:…. Oh
alright, that’s nice.
*Looks at
his Marvel shirt*
Me: I
really like your shirt!
Ashton:
Thanks! I really like your…. *looks me up and down* attire. ( I was wearing a
Pinafore)
*Kayley
shows that she is wearing a Marvel top too*
Ashton:
that’s so cool! Can you tell me who this guy is? *points to one of the
characters on his shirt*
Kayley: I
think that’s Mr. T
Ashton: was
he even in the Avengers?
Then we
took pictures with him which I think are really cute and he sort of like leaned
his head on mine and he was pretty much resting his head on mine, I sort of
looked at him like ‘are you alright?’ because he was resting on my head pretty
much, but we got a photo and I was very, very happy with it J
Then Ashton
left and went upstairs to his room, we went around the corner of the lobby
where there is a cute little café/restaurant/bar called Market&Co. and saw
Luke Hemmings. There was sort of an organized line waiting to get photos with
Luke which kind of surprised me as I had seen what had happened previously when
people thought they saw Harry somewhere in the pool (it wasn’t pretty and quite
frankly very annoying). I let Nicola and Kayley go in front of me because I
wanted to get a video of him saying hi to my friend Kristy. So I got it and I
apologized for freaking out earlier and luckily he had no idea what I was
talking about, I then got a photo with him and then got a video for Kristy.
Can I just
say that Luke is definitely the most awkward person I have ever met in my
entire life. He cannot hold a conversation which I find both very awkward but
very cute. Soon after that Luke left and we were all left star struck, we
hadn’t expected to meet anyone and yet we did!! We didn’t sleep much that
night, and we went back the next day even more determined to meet the other
half of 5sos.
So on
Saturday morning, we caught a ride from my mother to the Promenade again. We
were just sitting in Market&Co. drinking strawberry infused water when all
of a sudden my friend Nicola started saying my name over and over again and
looking behind me, I turned around and saw Ashton at the bar, ordering a
coffee. The first instinct I had was to take a photo of him as proof of him
being there, but of course with all the luck on my side, my phone was not on
silent and was up full volume and he heard my camera snap. I then called my
friend, Kristy, in hopes of getting Ashton to talk to her on the phone.
However, before I could reach him some girls went up to him probably asking for
photos. I was about to walk back to my seat but when I turned around I saw
Calum and Luke standing less than a metre away from me, I instantly walked up
to Calum and asked him to talk to my friend, which he did. It was so cute
because Kristy has been a fan of 5sos since 2011 and her favourite member is
Calum so being able to get her to talk to him was just the nicest feeling. I
decided that whilst Calum and Kristy were talking I would make conversation
with Luke, however, two insanely awkward people trying to make conversation is
both embarrassing and awkward yet also very entertaining.
Me: So Luke
did you have a good night last night?
Luke: Yeah
it was good…
Me: …good.
-the end-
What a
lovely conversation eh? Luckily Calum was done talking to Kristy. Their
conversation went like this:
Calum: hello
Kristy: hi
Calum!!
Calum: How
are you?
Kristy: I’m
doing great right now. Are you going to the city later?
Calum: not
sure
Kristy: are
you going to do an acoustic show?
Calum: who
knows
Kristy: is
that a yes?
Calum:
maybe
Kristy: is
that a maybe-yes?
*Calum
laughs resulting in both Kristy and Cassie to explode into a million tiny
little pieces*
After they
say their good-byes I quickly get a photo with Calum and then they all leave.
Shortly
after that we got a call from Nicola’s mum because she somehow found out we
were at the crown (she specifically told us not to go there-oops) so she came
and picked us up. None of us wanted to go home so we ended up driving to the
city (common shopping area in Perth). We walked around for a bit, found my
friend Kristy who was still buzzing from her call with Calum, and got food. We
parted with Kristy for a bit so we could go to the Perth Arena (the concert
venue) because we had heard that Zayn was at the arena. Suddenly Kristy called
us and screamed “5SOS ARE IN THE CITY”, so we immediately ran to where she was
and I got a glimpse of Ashton walking out of General Pants&Co. Then Calum
and Luke appeared and they started walking off to a taxi, they were being
chased by a whole group of girls and only had one security guard with them. We
saw them walk off into their taxi and drive off to who knows where.
~skipping
to later that night~
We ended up
bringing home another friend, Emma, who I had met up with in the city. We
caught multiple buses to get back to the Crown and waited in the Promenade
again. We ordered several bowls of wedges and just sat around for hours and
hours. We waited for 5sos to come back from their show that night, they came
back at around 9 and we were just sitting there waiting. They sat down in the
chairs at the table next to us and started to order food. We patiently waited
for them to finish ordering their food and whilst they were waiting for their
food to arrive we went and talked to them. Emma and I went to Ashton first.
This is how our conversation went:
Emma and I:
Hi Ashton! How was the show?
Ashton: It
was really loud…. And sweaty
Emma:
that’s fun
Ashton:
Have I met you guys before?
Me: you
haven’t met Emma but you’ve met me, you said you liked my attire yesterday
*Ashton
looks me up and down again and then sort of face palms a little bit*
Ashton:
yeah that sounds like something I would say.
Me: Yeah….
Who says attire anymore?
Ashton:
ummm……. So! Do you guys want photos or something? (trying to avoid my question
aha)
Then he
takes photos with Emma but since I got a photo the day before I decided to be a
lovely best friend and called up Natalie and got her to talk to Ashton. This is
how their conversation went:
Natalie:
Hello?
Ashton: Hi!
Natalie:
Hey, wait who’s this?
Ashton:
Ashton!
Natalie:
aekjrnejgr hey
Ashton: So
where are you from?
Natalie:
Perth
Ashton: Why
aren’t you at the show tonight?
Natalie: im
sorry, im at another show
Ashton: Aw
bummer, well I’ve gotta go
Natalie: rejkgerhjgn
bye
Ashton: bye
frjgrnejng
Natalie:
Haha bye
Then Kayley
wanted to get a video of Ashton saying Hi to our friend Charlotte, so she used
my phone to do it. Just before Ashton was about to leave I asked for a hug,
whilst hugging me he said “nice meeting you” right in my ear. Being my awkward,
fangirl self I sort of made a weird narrggg noise in his ear whilst trying to
say “nice meeting you too”, he laughed and then walked off to use the atm
machine.I then went to Michael, we
didn’t really have much of a conversation, I told him his hair was really cool
(he had just dyed it an electric blue) and he answered back with a really
genuine and enthusiastic thanks! I then got a selfie with him, and can I just
say that I am the first person in the world to ever take a picture with him
with his blue hair (Emma was the first). After we took a photo I said thanks
and he said no problem and then he sat down again because their food had
arrived. So we went back and just sat there, enjoying the presence of the boys.
After a few
minutes the most random thing happened, 2012 X-factor contestant, Veronica
Bravo, walked into the restaurant and went up to the boys (whilst they were
still eating) and asked Michael to go and sit with them. It was kind of a shock
because I had supported her during her time on the show and she just randomly
walked in, I didn’t know whether to feel overwhelmed or frustrated because she
had just taken Michael away from his food and disturbed the boys’ dinner. So
Michael left to sit with Veronica and her friends (here is a sneaky photo that Kayley and I took with Michael and Veronica in the background
)
and then Calum and Luke got
up to go back up to their hotel room. Emma hadn’t gotten a photo with Luke so I
went up with her and took this as an opportunity to talk to Calum more since I
didn’t really get to talk to him before. This is how that conversation went:
Me: Hey
Calum! Thanks for talking to my friend, Kristy, earlier
Calum: No
problem!
Me: She was
so happy, when I saw her she was crying
Calum: Aww
that’s so cute!
Me: She
really wants to meet you, she’s coming here tomorrow, do you think you will be
here around 12?
Calum: Yeah
I’m pretty sure we will be just hanging around
Me: Cool!
Check your dm’s on twitter
Calum: okay
Me: I dm’d
you my number
Calum: oh..
okay
Me: sorry
that’s really creepy…..
*Calum
starts laughing making Cassie fangirl a little less silently than she hoped
for*
Then there
was an awkward silence as we realised Luke and Emma were waiting for us to
finish talking.
Emma: you
guys seem tired you can go to bed if you want
They say
their good-nights and their nice-meeting-yous’ and then they leave. We go back
to sitting at our table to find Ashton still there, sitting there with his legs
stretched out using another chair as a foot rest, he was just on his phone and
I had the biggest urge to go over there and talk to him, just at that moment
when I had gathered up the courage to go over and sit with him, his security
guards and tour manager came over to accompany him. So for over an hour I kept
looking over at him and I could see that he kept looking at our group as well.
At one
moment Kayley and I decided to be stupid and she kept patting me on the head,
but every time she patted me I would blink. Now you can imagine that this would
look very odd if you didn’t know what we were doing and then I looked over at
Ashton to make sure he couldn’t see us acting like idiots but to my surprise he
was sitting there watching us and blinking every time Kayley hit me on the
head.
We just sat
there for an hour and a half just enjoying Ashton’s presence, it was quite
comfortable, there were a couple of occasions where he would look over at us
and smile. It was a nice moment and I wish I could have gone up to him and
talked to him a bit more, he did seem a bit bored. When we got up to leave he
genuinely looked sad, I looked over at him and smiled and he smiled back and
waved at me. That was the end of that day.
Sunday walked
to the Promenade and waited in Market&Co. We had ordered hot chocolates,
which tasted soooooo amazing by the way, and we saw a tweet from Luke
“Breakfast ends in 8 minutes but I’m too naked to go down”. This gave a lot of
girls the idea that they were in the hotel which soon filled up so much that they
actually had to put ropes up so that the girls wouldn’t be able to go into the
restaurant. Since we had ordered hot chocolates and the staff at the promenade
were aware that we were calm fans, they didn’t make us leave. However when Luke
and Calum were trying to go back up to their hotel room after eating breakfast
it took them 10-15 minutes just to walk back to the lift because there were so
many people wanting photos. Luke looked over at our group, who were just calmly
sitting down and drinking hot chocolates and he smiled, appreciating the fact
that we didn’t want to disturb him and we weren’t freaking out about being in
the same room as him. After they went up to their rooms, we met up with some of
my other twitter friends. We had a big group with us and we had all ordered
wedges for lunch. 1. Because then we had a reason to stay and staff couldn’t
kick us out 2. Because the wedges tasted flippin’ amazing. 3. Also we were
hungry. Soon after that Ashton walked past to the bar to order coffee. I, of course,
was internally fangirling and realise he was wearing the same shirt as the day
before, but I wanted to keep calm so I stayed in my chair and just watched my
friend Kristy freak out because it was the first time she actually had a chance
to talk to a 5sos member. Then Nicki, Emma and I decided we wanted some
strawberry infused water so we went up to the bar and I stood right next to
Ashton because he was ordering a coffee which was, evidently, right next to the
strawberry water. We had to wait for more glasses to come so we could get water
and Ashton had to wait for his coffee. At one point our elbows touched and I could
feel sparks flying and it was a magical moment- just kidding, but this did
cause us to look at each other and he smiled at me, I smiled back and then the
glasses came. I got my strawberry water and left. I looked back at him to see
him still standing there waiting, he looked at me and we both sort of quickly
turned away as if to pretend neither of us were staring. After he ordered his
coffee he came over to our group as he had promised the other girls that he
would come and talk to us after he got his coffee. Kayley got another picture
with him and as they were taking a photo her beanie (which was actually my
beanie) started slipping off her head, Ashton swiftly grabbed it without her
noticing and when she turned to look for it he cheekily grinned and held the
beanie up stating that he had it. After he gave her the beanie back I asked for
a hug and whilst in his embrace I asked if he liked my attire again, he laughed
and pulled away checking me out again and then replying that he did like my
attire. He then asked us if we were coming along to their acoustic show but
none of us were able to attend, when we told him this he looked genuinely
upset, but then we reassured him that we were going to the one direction show
tonight and he smiled and then went back up to the hotel room. Later that
afternoon all four of them came down so they could leave for their acoustic
show, I said hi to all of them but then more girls started coming in taking
photos with them. I really wanted another photo with Calum because in the photo
I had with him I had cut half his face out and also he was wearing a beanie
that day and looked extremely cute (sorry not sorry). So I helped Kristy get
pictures with the boys then when Calum had a free time I quickly asked for a
photo. I am so extremely happy with this photo, it is my favouritest thing
ever.
So after
that they left and I was totally unaware that that was the last time I would
ever see 5sos. I went to the One Direction concert and saw them performing.
Waiting for them to come on stage took forever but when they were finally on
the stadium filled with screams and Kayley and I started screaming “CHICKEN, CHICKEN!
CHICKEN TIMES FOUR”, everyone thought we were idiots, but we knew it would be
the last time we could use the code word. When they were on stage it felt like I
was seeing my friends perform, honestly it was a very proud moment for me, all I
could think was “Wow, Luke was that awkward boy that I met at the hotel and now
he is on that stage just smashing it”. I was literally so proud of them and so
happy to see them perform, they literally took my breath away.
I just want
to say that meeting 5sos all those times and being with my friends and meeting
new people was the best experience ever. It was nice to just be able to hang
out in the hotel and just have fun, and the excitement of waiting for the boys
to come into the hotel and turn our heads every time we heard the elevator
ding. It was fun to just not have to worry about school, or work, or parents or
anything. It was honestly the best weekend ever, I felt free and I felt so, so
unbelievably happy to have gotten the chance to meet these four boys. I have
become an even bigger fan now and I don’t think there will ever be a day that I
stop supporting them. They are such kind, funny people and they have a very
calming vibe (that sounds really weird, but seriously I was abnormally calm around
them!). I hope that every 5sos fan gets the chance to meet these boys.
*Disclaimer:
I did not write this to gloat or brag or anything. I specifically wrote this so
that I could look back at this post in the future and remember every.single.detail
of those few days. Because I did include a lot of detail in this post. It was also
requested by a friend and I also haven’t posted in a while and this has been a
very good experience and thought it was worth sharing J
If you want
to see a video where I pretty much explain everything that is in this post then
please click the video below, it also shows some pictures and video footage of
the boys and also Ashton’s message to Charlotte J
Hey guys if you are not aware about Book Week it is pretty much a week where everyone talks about books and just yeah I don't really know the purpose of the day but for one of the days in the week we are allowed to dress up at school. I had been thinking about this costume for a while and I got most of the inpsiration from MacBarbie07's video that she did about The Mad Hatter, she did a make up and outfit inspired tutorial which I found very helpful. I also hand made the hat, which was a lot of fun.
For the make up I looked up a picture of the Johnny Depp version of the Mad Hatter and found this picture; which I found very helpful for this video.
And this is what I came up with:
I wanted to come up with a more subtle and girly look that was wearable and wouldn't need to be fixed up every 5 minutes. Also this was for school so I didn't really feel the need to make this very detailed and fancy, I just wanted to portray the look for The Mad Hatter.
This is the outfit I came up with, I took inspiration from the Mad Hatter's outift in the movie and how he had mixed patterns that did not match at all and looked very messy but also very smart and tailored. I also wanted to create a bit of a colour scheme so I picked the cool colours, mixing dark reds, blues, black and whites.
If you want to see how I achieved this look then please watch my Get Ready With Me video on my Youtube channel
So this week I had my very last school dance :( Next year we have our first ball where we actually are supposed to have a date (haha good luck with that cassie). It was a very fun night filled with dancing with my friends, old pop hits that were popular in my pre-teen years and my friends fangirling over the boys there.

As you all should know by now, I am a huge face mask fanatic. I love experimenting and trying out different products and seeing how they work on my skin. I have written a blog post on some of my favourite face masks which I will link here. But this mask, I would put as number one over all of them. I've had this product for a bit over a month now and I just want to say that I think I am in love. I have been thinking about doing this post for a while but I wanted to test it out for a month and see the benefits it did for my skin.
I purchased this when I was in Hong Kong even though Aesop is an australian brand, it was about $40 Australian Dollars which is quite pricey for a face mask as the other ones I have used have been no more than $20. So this is double the price of the face masks I would usually get. However, I wouldn't spend any less on it, this product is definitely worth what it costs and I would repurchase this over and over if I could.
The reason for me purchasing this was because ViviannaDoesMakeUp featured it in one of her monthly favourites videos and said the reason for her getting it was because she was getting red scab-like spots on her face that felt like she had stubble, I was experiencing the same problem so I decided I would try it out.
This mask is suited for all skin types and is aimed to remove impurities and refresh the skin. It is an anti-oxident clarifying mask that is designed for deep cleansing. It is recommended to be used twice a week but I used it probably ever other night just because I wanted quick results and wanted to clear my skin faster.
All you need is a thin layer of it and it works miracles on your skin. You just leave it on for 15 minutes and wash it off with cool water. After washing it off, my skin already felt 1000 times better, you can't really see a change in the impurities immediately, but the next morning is definitely a pleasant surprise.
When I purchased this masque, I was also given a sample of the Aesop Parsley Seed Exfoliator which I was instructed to either use on its own or mix with the cleansing masque. When I mixed it will the masque it felt just like a scrub, which I found unpleasant since I was so used to the smooth feel of the masque alone, but the results of these two products mixed together made me forget about those uncomfortable 15 minutes. My skin felt a lot more soft than it would if you used to masque alone, it also removed some of my blackheads!
My skin is not completely clear as it is now... that time of the month so I have gained some pesky little spots. However, before this very pleasant time of month (note the sarcasm), my skin had definitely improved from what it was a month ago.
I definitely want to repurchase this product if I can track down an Aesop store in Perth and if I magically gain $40. It is definitely worth the money and it is something I have grown to love and now can't seem to live without. You do not even understand how heartbroken I am that I have finished my tube, I feel like I have lost a friend, a loved one, a family member. Okay enough with the dramatics. Seriously though, this is THE best face mask I have ever used and I would love to see if anyone has anything better. The results I got from this product are some that I would have never even dreamed of and I am so grateful that I found this product. I definitely recommend it to you all.
Since this is my first tutorial I just wanted to do something that was completely different from what I usually do so I could try creating a look myself and just see how it turned out. So I created a very easy, wearable, dark make up look which is inspired by my best friend, Natalie, who is heavily into hard core bands, even though she would argue that Sleeping With Sirens is not hard core at all, but this is about the look so yes this is inpsired by her.
Please watch and tell me what you think, if there is something you think I could improve on and please dont be scared to request some tutorials! I would really love to do more of these :)
So I haven't really done a food or health post before but I do want to make it clear that I will be focusing on health and exercise and things like that because it is very important to me. I hope you enjoy this video!
Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve lasted posted on my blog
and I am very sorry. I wasn’t aware that Blogger was blocked in China which
made me very sad because I couldn’t post and keep up with all my favourite
blogs but on the plus side I was able to do a lot of shopping! If you haven’t
seen my hauls from what I got in china then you should go check them out, I did
a haul on beauty and on fashion.
One of my favourite items that I
got from China are the L’oreal Shine Caresse Lip Stains.
“The next generation lip colour, that combines the texture & shine of a gloss with the long wear of a stain. Delivering a lasting colour with a subtle glossy shine.”
These are apparently a dupe for YSL's Glossy Stains. I have been seeing these a lot lately and I have been
wanting them for quite a while but in Australia they are $22 which is ridiculously
expensive, especially for a lip product. But since I had enough money in china
I decided I would get some of them.
I picked up these two colours:
Bonnie
901 Bonnie is an orange-based tan shade. Kind of
like a tangerine coral colour. I find that the pigmentation varies depending on
which shade you get but this one is s a relatively pigmented colour from the
first swipe.
And Juliette
702 Juliette is a bright cherry red with strong pink
undertones. It applies quite vividly on the first swipe.
Disclaimer: I know in the pictures they look very very similar but I applied Juliette first and then tried to wipe if off after taking the picture but it had already stained my lips so Bonnie doesnt look any different... (just proves how well this product works!)
I really love both of these and I am looking to buy more of these (you know, when I get money and stuff...). These are probably my favourite lip products ever. These are good for days when you just want a little colour on your lips and you dont want to put in a lot of effort making it into a perfect shape on your lips and all that stuff. They are said to have up to 6 hours of moisture. I agree that they do last a very long time, probably at least half the day even when you have been eating and drinking they will still last, but I am not too sure about the moisture, it isnt too dry and it is still moisturising but I would still advise wearing lipbalm before applying this. They are a bit sticky when applied but when you let it dry for a bit they turn into a matte kind of formula which stains your lips. The applicator is a doe foot and it is designed for you to be able to get out more of the product onto the applicator so it is easier to apply. It is kind of like applying a lip gloss that turns into a shiny lipstick, that is the best way I can describe the feeling and the look of it.
Shine Caresse claims to offer the long-wear of a lip stain with the shine of a lipgloss in the convenience of a tube. The packaging is in a gold tube which makes it look quite elegant which makes it look like it is from a high end brand and not from the drugstore. Warning: It is very easy to get a fingerprint on the package, so be careful!
I hope you enjoyed this review and it helps with your decision of buying this product or maybe you just wanted to read something. I really do enjoy doing reviews and I have a lot more planned but I do like to take a while to test out products so I can get an accurate and honest opinion for you guys so yeah please stay with me.
I haven't posted in a while and I was kind of missing taking pictures and writing stuff for my blog so I thought why not make a outfit and face of the day post. My last fotd&ootd post was quite popular so I wanted to do another one. If you haven't seen the other post I just showed you my make up and outfit for my mothers 50th birthday party so you can go look for that or click this. I also did one for my birthday if you want to check that out. Today has no special occasion but I thought why not show you my sort of everyday look. I thought I was going out shopping today with my mum but then she stood me up (what a lovely mother) so I was just left watching youtube videos at home so I pretty much put on make up for nothing but I do enjoy putting it on even for no reason so thats okay.
Here is my face for today:
I went for a really defined eyebrow today because I felt like I have been neglecting my essence eyebrow pencil since I have discovered filling in my brows with mac omega eyeshadow and I missed using it and the look it gave me so I thought I would use it today. I also wanted to use a pink lip because I wanted this to look young, innocent and fun. Here is the list of make up that I used:
Foundation: Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation
Concealer: Mac Studio Finish Concealer NW20
Lipstick: Rimmel Kate Lipstick 16
Mascara: Covergirl Hydrofuge Volume Mascara Waterproof (In a orange tube)
Eyebrows: Essence Brow Pencil Medium
Eyeshadow: Mac Naked Lunch
Blush: Rimmel Pink Rose Blush
I felt it was necessary to add a closeup of my eyes so you could see the make up a bit better. I made sure to apply the mascara as close to my lashline as possible so it gave the effect of my wearing eyeliner so it looked like I had a thick lashline.
Outfit:
For my outfit I was just going for a comfortable look that still made it look like I put in effort into my outfit and that was still very cute. It was very cold outside so I later put on a white knit sweater over the top with the collar poking out over the top of the sweater. I picked this up from a bargain market from China. If you want to see the rest of the clothes I got from China please check out my Fashion Haul which is on my youtube channel (Casssheww) or in my previous blog post there is a link. Also make sure to check out my Beauty Haul as well as I got a lot of cool makeup in China as well.
But back to the outfit, I just paired this top with some black leggings just for comfort and warmth. I think this outfit is just the perfect lazy day outfit that is also suitable for going out and going shopping with friends or something, just a casual activity. I love tops with collars a lot and I especially love the floral print on the rolled up sleeves I think it looks so cute and this outfit is very very comfortable.
I also have a wristband on my right hand that I got from BriBry and it is a bright orange and says "#CutCakeNotWrists" which I really love and it is my new favourite thing ever. Also my nails match my wristband which, I have to add, I did not do on purpose.
I hope you enjoyed this post and I really love doing Face and Outfit of the day outfits because I think it is a fun way for you guys to get to know my style and how I like to do my make up to match with my outfit and things like that.
My very first Fashion Haul! I went to china for two weeks and they have a lot of shops that aren't avaliable in Perth so I decided I would get some clothes because I don't go to those shops often and I probably won't be able to go to those stores again so yeah. I thought I would do something with Fashion because I haven't actually had anything to do with Fashion with my channel or my blog yet so it's time I start! This has sort of a summer theme so hopefully a lot of people who are in other parts of the world right now can relate to me and yeah, I hope you enjoy it!
I know I havent posted for a while but I was in China and wasn't aware that Blogger was actually blocked over there :( But I hope this Beauty Haul makes up for it! hehe. Make sure to keep your eye out for my Fashion Haul too! I missed you guys!
These aren't really my handbag essentials for winter, but they are some of the things I would love for winter. For instance, I love a dark red lip for the Autumn and Winter seasons so I would definitely carry that in my handbag. Also I am not a massive beanies girl, I love the look of them but I just don't think they suit me, thats the same with scarfs but I do want to try find somet that do suit me and get into the Winterness. I also love yummy body lotions and things for the colder seasons which is why there is an almond body wash in there, not that I would put a body wash in my handbag. In winter I just love the dark colours so of course I have a blue nail polish in there and since I love having a dark lip I always go for a neutral eye look so I added the Urban Decay Basics palette in there, this has been on my shopping list for a very long time but unfortunately there is no Urban Decay in Australia, oh well :( I don't usually wear glasses but I thought they looked cool in the picture as well as the bracelets.
Thank you for reading, please comment below some of your winter essentials or just any essentials for any season since I know that all other countries are enjoying summer right now (ignore my jealousy).
