Bloggers Week! Me :)

Hello Beauties!

So as part of the Joallap Collab week, I am posting today! Whoop! If you do not know about the Joallap Collab, I will link the 1st post where I explained it at the bottom. 

A big part of who I am is music. To my friends, I have a very weird music taste. They all just like music off the charts, and anything else was deemed uncool. I used to just like chart music, and some of it I do like, but I developed my own 'unique' taste when I was about 9 and my dad bought me the ellie goulding bright lights album for my ipod . I used to just listen to Starry Eyed but then I started to prefer her other songs on the album. Right now I am listening to Guns And Horses from that album haha.

So whatever my dad downloaded, I would find a song I liked and listen to it all day. For example my dad got the take that album and I listened to SOS for EVER. Then he liked florence and the machine, so did I. I carried on until I got my own itunes account.

So heard Skater Boi on the radio and I searched it on youtube to listen to then after I heard the song I clicked on all the other songs by Avril Lavigne and downloaded the ones I liked best. Same with Lily Allen . I do like some current songs, and I am into rap, but I had heard Drinking From The Bottle before it was on the charts. So I was quite proud when I was with my friends in the car and it came on after it was just released and I knew all the words. :) 

 My music taste definitely shows my personality. It shows I am not afraid to be different ( listening to songs not on the charts, I can be really upbeat ( rap) I can show my true feelings easily (Lily Allen) and I have a deeper side ( Avril Lavigne. Listen to My Happy Ending, its deep k .) Obviously it some ways it doesnt. And I do listen to other artists. 

So please, do not do something to fit in. Be yourself, and do your thing. Who cares if you listen to rock music, have a whacky fashion sense or only read classical books. IT. DOESNT. MATTER. People should like you for you on the inside, your personality, rather than what you do/dont do. If they do judge you like this, they are not worth knowing. 

TOP 5 SONGS NOT ON THE CHARTS ATM THAT YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO:

Friday Night - Lily Allen

Guns and Horses - Ellie Goulding

My Happy Ending - Avril Lavigne 

Fifteen - Taylor Swift 

Who Am I living For - Katy Perry

Hope you enjoyed my take on the theme 'You ' for Joallap Bloggers week.

Bold Eyelashes Effect

Hi there , its Phoebs again, from Geek Chic Notes. Hope you enjoyed the last post. Today I have a quick how-to on creating the illusion that your eyelashes are super long! 

Tips

1. Use an eyelash curler, ( Ony says if you dont have an eyelash curler than; 1) Run warm water on a spoon and place it on your eyelashes up, so it curls. 2) Rub two fingers together until warm and place them on your eyelashes. The whole point is heat to curl your lashes. )

2. Find a good mascara ( benefit 'they're real' mascara for an upmarket option or the Rimmel range for a cheaper option)

3. Put black eyeliner on the upper lashline of the outer corner of your eye( the outside of your eye by your top lashes) it adds more volume.

4. Here is the key part. Always put the lightest shade of eyeshadow in the middle of your eye. The contrast would be so big it would make your eyelashes look longer. For example , if you wanted a green eyeshadow combo put a light shade in the middle, a medium shade nearer the nose and the darkest shade near wear you should put the eyeliner. Then a blend of all three colours in the crease ( just underneath where the thin, eyelid skin becomes thicker and harder)

This is how the eyes  should look :)

This is so simple to recreate and really effective.

Two More Quick Tips

Never do eyeliner all the way around your eye. It makes your eyes look smaller compared to your face.

Before you put any eyeshadows on, pop some white eyeshadow in the inner corners. It makes you look wide awake! Then add your other shades on top.

Again, hope you enjoyed the post!
