Hey guys!

Autumn is officially upon us which means a new season has begun. This brings a change in weather, but, more importantly, also a change in beauty and fashion necessities. So here are my 2014 fall beauty must haves:


1) My first essential product for fall is a primer because I really need my makeup to stay on my skin the whole day at school. The one I've been loving lately is the "DHC Velvet Skin Coat". This is a really good product because a little goes a long way, it makes my skin feel super soft (like velvet..duh!) and it keeps my makeup on for the whole school day.

2) To put on top of the primer I love BB cream. I think BB cream is better than foundation in autumn because it's one of those seasons that has both warm and cold days. On more summery-like days (which where you live might not be common in fall, but here we've been having quite a lot) it's good because it's lightweight and it blends better into the skin. This way it won't make your face feel too heavy or like it's melting off. However it's also perfect for colder days because it's moisturising and it won't dry out your skin like foundation often does. The one I've been using, and really enjoying, is the Aveeno Clear Complexion BB Cream. It blends really well, it's very moisturising, it's oil free and it has spf protection. What more could a girl want?



3) School. School. School. Why do you do this to me? How do you expect me to look good if I have to wake up at dawn? Highlighting concealers. I'm telling you girls, it's the only way to survive the school season. The one I've been loving is a classic that everybody has already talked about, and for good reasons: L'Oreal Lumi Magique. This concealer is amazing! It brightens up your under eye instantly and actually makes it look like you got a decent amount of sleep (which we all know you didn't).


4) I like to keep my eyes very simple, especially when I have school, but I always pop on a neutral eye shadow. Lately I've been loving the Mac matte eyeshadow in Quarry. It's a nice neutral purple that's easy to wear but reminds me of autumn. Since I'm always in a rush in the morning, I usually only wear this on my eyes. I pat it evenly all over the lid, blend a little extra in the crease for definition, and also bring it down to line the bottom part of my eyes. It's super easy to do and I think it looks so much nicer than just a plain lid.

On the eyes it comes out less purple and more grey-toned, so it's more neutral than it actually seems here.

5) Finally the most fun part: the lips. First thing first, lip balm. This is such an important step because autumn is when lips start to chap and moisturising them not only makes them healthier, but also lets lipstick apply so much better. My all time favourite lip balm is the Vaseline Lip Therapy in cherry. This product is amazing. I'm not kidding. I have been using it since last year and I still haven't ran out of it and my lips have never chapped.
Now that our lips are ready let's move on to the best bit: lipstick. Autumn is all about the bold berry lip, but to be honest I don't wear it quite often. I love it, but I'm really scared that it's a bit too much, especially for a daily use. However, when I do decide to rock it, I usually wear a lipstick from the brand Pupa in the shade "Diva's Rouge".

Hello!

I've decided to start a new "series" on this blog called, "Sunday Says" where every sunday I can post a little quote. These can be quotes that have been inspiring me lately or just motivational words to help you start your week right.

-Vivian, Pushing Daisies

the notebooks I made(:

Step one: Gather your materials!

• Ruler 
• Pencil
• Notebook
• Eraser 
• Scissors 
• Glue
• Tape or Mod Podge 
• Magazines

Step two: Start cutting!
This DIY is basically a collage made out of triangles so the first thing you want to do is decide how big you want your triangles to be. Then go ahead and measure and then cut the first one from the cover of the magazine (I recommend using the cover as this will be your tracing triangle and the cover is sturdier than the pages). Now look through the magazine and choose patterns, colours or images that you like. Place your triangle on the image and trace it with your pencil. Cut it out and repeat this step until you have a good amount of triangles (the number you need varies depending on the size of your notebook and your triangles). 




Step three: Organise!

Once you've got all your triangles decide how you want to place them on your notebook before you start glueing them. 



Step four: Glue!

This step is pretty self explanatory: glue the triangles in place.



Step five: Finish off!

Cover the notebook with either the tape or the Mod Podge to keep everything in place and make it more resistant.

on this notebook I put the tape on really badly so it kind of ruined it :(

Optional bonus!

It's also a great idea to decorate the back cover using washi tape. Not to mention that you can use other shapes instead of triangles.

Today's blog post is going to be a very quick one so I'm sorry but here is what I wore on my first day of school. Hope you enjoy and maybe it will even help you out!

Don't get me wrong, I love autumn. Snuggling under a cozy blanket, drinking hot chocolate, watching old disney movies, layering sweaters, spice scented candles, crunchy leaves. All those glorious little things. However, I'm having a really hard time letting go of summer. These few months of relaxation have been holy and I'm not looking forward to giving them up and starting school again.

This year I've had the best holidays and I think it's better to think back to the memories I've made rather than the upcoming school year.  So here are my summer highlights:

Some of the small gifts I received

I'm not the type of person that starts counting down the days till their birthday months ahead. In fact, I'm not even the type of person that likes birthdays. So, when a couple of days before my 16th birthday my best friend told me, "I'm planning your birthday and it's going to be so amazing!" I panicked.
"No. Please don't plan anything. You know I hate birthday parties. I just want to hang out with you alone and chill, nothing crazy!" She simply laughed at me and shook her head and said, "It's nothing crazy. You're going to love it, I swear."

And as always, she was absolutely right.

The day started out like any perfect day does. Being woken up by your best friend holding a tray of homemade cake pops... yum! After this wonderful breakfast my friend handed me two little gifts: one an adorable small glass bottle and the other a lavender soap all the way from holland! At this point we were ready to hit the town.

The small glass bottle and the lavender soap

My best friend, Anna- it's better if you learn her name at this point, took charge and I followed. The first place she brought me took me a bit by surprise; it was our old kindergarden school.
"This is the place where almost 13 years ago we first met and become best friends," she quickly explained while handing me another present.

The rest of the day, as you might have guessed, was spent touring around the city stopping at 16 significant places from our childhood together. At each stop I was given yet another gift (all of which I loved) and a speech explaining the importance of the location.

It was honestly one of the best days ever and I'm so grateful to have a friend who cares about me so much as to organise this whole thing. She spoils me!

We ended the evening with a movie (The Fault in Our Stars- which is amazing and everyone should go see) and dinner with my family.

It was really a lovely day.
