'The seaweed is always greener in somebody else’s lake'

So, wish me luck! My first beauty blog! I've never really been a lipstick kind of girl. Or for that matter, a makeup kind of girl. If i go out, i'll wear makeup, but wearing it to go to work, what is the point? I have a very manual job and find that it's pointless.

 I went to London the first bank holiday of this year, and i have never bought anything from Harrods, or from MAC, so i thought i'd kill two birds with one stone. I bought a red lipstick. When i got home and applied it, i fell in love! My only issue is that it makes my lips very dry, but if i apply Vaseline first, it doesn't go on as smooth. The colour is amazing, and can be layered up to make a dark red, or just one or two, which gives your lips some colour, but not a drastic. However it does last a long time, which makes it more worth the money! 

While at Harrods i saw another MAC lipstick that i loved, but didn't buy at the time. Since then, i have been looking for a specific colour of lipstick. When shopping in boots i spotted a lady wearing the lipstick i wanted, so my lovely boyfriend asked her what it was, and i ended up purchasing a Clinique lipstick or 'chubby stick' as they call it. It was a bright pink, and didn't make my lips dry at all! It lasted a long time, and again could alter the colour depending on how many layers applied. The pink also makes me look very tanned, which is always good for a pale person. It also makes me feel very perfect (I know i'm far from it!), but it actually makes me feel good about my appearance!

Between the two i have to say that the Clinique 'chubby stick' is my favorite! It makes my lips feel very smooth and lasts such a long time, it is very moisturizing and would definitely buy from them again!

Does anyone else have any makeup brands they use for lipstick? Or do you have any opinions on these lipsticks?

P.S. The first person that can guess what film my title is from, i will mention your blog in my next post!

"After all, tomorrow is another day!"

Everybody has a dream in life, right? Some people's are to do with a house, or a car. Mine, is to own my own clothes shop. It'll be one of them old fashioned tailor shops, where ladies come in and have clothes designed and made for them. I even know what it'd be called, and it'd be next to Prada in London. Harrods and Selfridges would stock some clothes too, as well as other large department styles stores. All major cities around the world would have one of my stores too. There would be 'off the rail' items that people could buy, then tailored clothes, made exactly to people's specifications, and body size. Their clothes would fit like a glove. Dresses can be made like this, but id make all clothes, exactly how the customer would want them. My grandma would work there too, knitting things for me, because I can't knit, and I have no desire to learn either. 

My grandad said to me today, after showing him everything I've made 'you'll be supplying mark and Spencer's soon!' Everybody also has reasons they can't accomplish their dreams, there are currently a few reasons I can't. Funding being a main one, I need to learn how to draw patterns, and to learn you need money, and someone to teach you. However, working nights makes this harder too, as I can't go to night school. Another issue, I need a kick ass sewing machine, another thing that needs a lot of money, of which I don't have. I mean, my sewing machine is adequate, but it just doesn't do all the fancy things it needs to be able to do. Time is another big thing, between working, and spending time with my boyfriend, I sew. It's not enough time to learn, or teach yourself new things. When I deem myself good enough, I will start making small things to sell on, not made to measure though, to try and make some money for my future. If anyone knows of someone/a place that'll teach me how to draw patterns, on the midlands area, can you let me know? And if anyone has any business ideas/ways to start funding my business can you also let me know? If you look at my 'a blog sale page' all money made from there will go towards my business too! I really want to make my dream my life, so I do something everyday that I love! If I dream big, maybe one day ill be big. No point underestimating myself!
