Hello, 2016

I'm starting this post the same way I did last year, ITS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I'VE BLOGGED!

The past few months have just been super busy I never have time to sit and write! However, I promise I'm back now!

2015 has been the best year of my life, and looking back at my last new years post, I can officially say I topped the previous year!

This year was the hardest and most emotional one I've ever had, but it was amazing and enjoyable and full of laughter and love. I made it through exams and didn't take any time for granted as I knew this year would go by quickly.

Last year I made three resolutions, and I can definitely say that I fulfilled them all.

I also did things that made me happy, I tried so hard in my exams and have continued that through into the beginning of sixth form, and have 100% created and unforgettable year!

This year, I want to keep those resolutions, but add two more, so this year I want to:

Do what makes me happy

Try my hardest in everything that I do

Make memories, and create another unforgettable year

Explore new things

Appreciate everything, especially the little things

I really hope this year reflects last year, but I am to make it even better!

I hope everyone had an amazing new year, and I hope you're excited for a fresh start!

So like last year, I'm going to leave you with some of my favourite moments from 2015!

Comment down below what your favourite memory of 2015 is and what you're looking forward to in 2016!

Vampire Makeup for Halloween

So last night I went to a Halloween Party and decided to go as a vampire. I uploaded a tutorial of the look on my youtube channel, but decided to post some pictures here too.

Watch the tutorial I did on youtube!

I hope you all have a brilliant Halloween!

Last Minute Halloween Makeup Ideas

So I was sat watching Hocus Pocus when I realised I still didn't have an idea for what I wanted to be for Halloween, so I decided to try some easy ideas and thought I'd share them with you! I've decided what I'm going as for a party, so I'll probably end up using one of these on Halloween when having a movie night with my friends!

I first did a half skeleton face, It's really simple and only took around half an hour to get looking good!

Alternatively, I did this skeleton face on my friend which was also super simple to do!

I attempted to do the Corpse Bride, this is actually pretty simple to do, but requires more time and more artistic skill (which I lack!!)

For these three ideas, I only used black, white and pink face paint! To get the blue for the corpse bride just mix black and white!
Tweet me a picture on @niallantic if you recreate any of these!
I hope this was helpful!

Summer's Over

This post is a week overdue as I am onto my second week of school, however I decided to get ill during my first week (yeah that didn't go well!)

So between catching up on everything I missed in three days and pretending to do my drama homework (why oh why) I decided to finally write my summer round up post.

Over the summer I didn't blog as much as I wanted to, however at the same time I enjoyed my time so much and I documented in other ways to look back on. This time every year is always a weird few weeks, starting back at school this year has felt the same, but so different in every way but it's nice to start new things and never have to do things I don't care about again (GOODBYE SCIENCE).

This summer has been one I don't think I'll forget, spending my time with amazing people and having it all to always look back on is amazing. I managed to do things I wanted to, such as go on picnics and have a Disney marathon. I'm sad that it's over and it's back to school and work, but it means my favourite time of the year is coming!

In my mind, september means HALLOWEEN AND CHRISTMAS IS COMING! 

Wishing away time I know, but they are the most enjoyable times of the year!

I've also planned to start making more videos for my youtube channel, it's something along with blogging I really enjoy and can't wait for autumn and winter themed posts and videos!

I hope that you all had a good week starting school! I can't wait to get back into a routine in posting!

Results Day!

First I'd like to start this post with an apology, I have no excuse as to why I haven't been posting recently, but as it's summer I feel not having a routine has made me neglect my blog!

Yesterday I found out my GCSE results! It was an amazing relief to open the envelope and see that I achieved what I needed! I was proud of how much work I had put in as it all paid off and I'm able to go to sixth form!

I got 2 A's, 2 B's, 3 C's (and then 2 D's and an E lmao) and next year I will be taking Theatre Studies, Media, Geography and Psychology.

I'm really excited to finally leave behind subjects I don't enjoy and focus on what I know is best for me!

I hope if you got your results yesterday you were happy with what you got! I know I certainly was!

This was my friend and I when we found out we got an A in drama, we cried A LOT!

I'm going away for a week but once I'm back I promise I will start to upload at least one post a week!

Prom 2015

Hello guys! I'm back from holiday and on Tuesday 7th July we had our Prom.

It was such an amazing night, much better than I thought it would be and it really was amazing to see everyone dressed up and happy! Everyone looked so amazing!

For the night I did my hair and makeup myself and I was so happy with how it turned out!

My dress was blue and lacy and I don't think I've ever been this in love with something, I felt like a princess all night!

For travel, a group of 50 of us hired a red bus and it was sooo cute!!

Now that I'm home from holiday I'm going to start blogging again, I missed it sooo much while I was away so I'm excited to get back into it! I also vlogged while I was away which I'm hoping to get up asap!

The end of an era | Leavers 2015

Today marked the end of an era, 5 years of secondary school came to an end as we begin our exams and get ready to start something new.
This post is super long but it is mainly photos, it's more of a personal post for myself, but I wanted to share them with you all as I personally love posts like this (i'm just super nosey haha)

On Wednesday 6th May, our form tutor took us out for a meal to celebrate us being together for five years, it was such a lovely evening and it meant so much to all of us to be together.

Since then, as our exams start this week, we have been having our last lessons of subjects where we'll all be together.

 In year seven, our form tutor got us to make a time capsule, which we got back and it was hilarious to see what we all thought about when we were 11.

14/05/2015 was our leavers day, I'm soooo thankful for the past five years and I feel so lucky to have spent it all with such amazing people!

 

Good luck to everyone taking exams over the next month!

Things I Want To Do This Summer

This blog idea is inspired from Tanya Burr's recent post!

When all my exams are finished I have a 12 week summer and I could not be anymore excited! I'm going to Florida for two weeks but after that I have so much time to plan things with my friends!

I liked the idea of planning a summer 'want' list, and I have decided that anything that gets put on my list, will be blogged about when it happens, like a check list!

Go on picnics; during the summer we tend to go on picnics all the time and they're usually my favourite things to do in the afternoon. What makes it better is knowing we don't have to be anywhere and we can stay out all through the evening!

Have a Harry Potter/Disney Marathon; film marathons are one of my favourite things to do, and wheat better time to do it than on the rainy days in summer?

Have a Coachella/Festival themed party; I want to plan a party with my friends where we get dressed up festival themed and have a chill party.

Go on spontaneous adventures; 'adventures' is a bit chliche, but all I mean by this is a spontaneous decision to do something, whatever it is, as it's always my favourite.

Eat healthier; it's always easier to eat healthier in the summer, so I'm going to do this and try to continue it throughout the rest of the year.

this next one is going to be the cringiest of all but we'll just go with it,

Make Memories; after this summer, a few of us will be going in 'different directions' as they say, so I want to make as many memories as possible, and record them all down on my blog!

If you want to be updated straight away, then follow me on my social media's!

Let me know if any of you are doing something like this in the comments! I think this may be my last proper post until I'm finished with exams so I'll be updating you then! Good luck to anyone sitting any in the next few weeks!

GRWM | get together vs party | Part Two

Hello everyone! As I said in Part One we've now hit the birthday season in our friendship group, meaning I had two different evenings to get ready for so I thought I'd show you the type of outfits/makeup I wear to evening 'get togethers' and parties.

This is Part Two, showing you a party look!

Last night we had a garden party for my friends birthday, the weather held up for us for about 4 hours so it was really fun to be outside!

To start off I used the simple face wash.

I then washed and curled my hair.

I then did my usual makeup routine. I also used the rimmel stay matte powder, but i did not photograph it as it has smashed!

This time adding in 3 eyeshadows from the BarryM Natural Glow Palette 2

Using these brushes to apply everything

After I added this small elephant choker from etsy

And applied the Perrie Collection lipstick and used my Si Armani perfume.

I didn't get good quality makeup pictures as I was getting ready with friends and we were running a bit late but here is the best 'close up'.

I wore a black playsuit from River Island and a kimono from H&M and paired it with black Converse. I also tied my hair up into a 'half up, half down' bun.

I hope you enjoyed this two part post and hopefully it gave you some outfit ideas!
