MY MOST USED APPS


There are many apps that I use all the time on my phone, quite a few to keep me right and on the right path with everything. From social media to personal use, apps are the only things that keep me organised, distracted and in the loop with everything.

SOCIAL MEDIA
1. Facebook

This one is everyones favourite app, it's great to keep in touch with pretty much everyone, sometimes it can be rubbish, and more or less I find myself going through my newsfeed for a good hour or so just scrolling. It's terribly addictive, but a great useful app to keep up with everything and everyone.

2. Instagram

This one has really been a favourite for a short while, but again it's an easy one to keep scrolling through, before I know, Im all the way down the bottom of Kim Kardashian West's page and realising I wasted an hour of my life. It's great for inspiration, I always find picture ideas for my blog and envy all the amazing pictures and selfies of everyone on my timeline. I always have the constant struggle to keep my insta theme going, I spent 2 hours this morning trying to white out a picture, but ended up deleting it because it wasn't a true white, that's dedication for you haha!

3. Twitter
@itsfeeslife

Twitter has been a favourite for years, I have met some great people from all over the place on twitter and created good friendships with them. It's also a great place to contact fellow bloggers and celebrities on a platform that millions follow. You can make your blog posts go far with just adding a hashtag to contact the people that are interested in certain topics. I will never stop using twitter, it's and old and current favourite and it will never compare to any other social media platform in my opinion.

COMMUNICATION
1. Whatsapp

Whatsapp is my constant favourite on my phone and it's great for messaging backwards and forwards to friends, having group chats with your friends are always a great way to catch up with them all at the same time. Emoji's are my high light of this app and it's a great way to say your mood without using words at all.

2. Emails


I constantly use my emails all the time, only really to communicate with my University lecturers and see when they post course work up, this is the worst, but keeps me in the loop of whats going on.

PICTURE EDITING
1. AfterLight

This is the app I use the most to edit my Instagram pictures, at the moment I am currently trying to change my instagram theme to a white aspect, so trying out a few way of editing to help me achieve this.

2. Aviery

Again I have been trying to change my instagram theme, so this is something that has been helping me achieve my white background with using the whitening tool. But at the moment that is all I use that app for.

So those are all my most used apps at the moment. Check in on my social media to see all my latest updates.

RECENTLY ON INSTAGRAM #3


This is a post I do look forward to doing on a regular basis, and if you follow me on Instagram then you see all my posts, but this gives me a chance to tell you about my favourite posts.


This is my Friend Caroline who kindly modelled for me for a style photoshoot I had to do for a hand in for a Uni class, it was Pattern Experimentation. This dress was part of the 3 that was produced, the style is called Subraction cutting which is developed on the aspect of zero waste, when only using what you have and not adding anything apart from threads to this garment. This is particularly special mainly because the man himself who developed and created this aspect actually liked and commented on this picture, so made me very happy that he was able to see my creation and took the time to comment. It was a great feeling I must say.



After exams and hand in's at Uni were finished I was so very excited to be able to go home a spend time with my family for Christmas and New year, It was an amazing time, I only wished it had been longer. But me and Jamie celebrated being together for 3 years, jeez can you believe it? 3 years? It's crazy to think, but I honestly can't imagine being with anyone else or have anyone else in my life, he has been my rock over the last year and for that I can't thank him enough. I love you. (cringe haha)



For me I knew it was about time that I made a change for my blog and for myself, more might be revealed in a later post, but I was writing posts mainly thinking it was what I wanted to see on my blog and I didn't enjoy writing them. These were mainly my fashion posts and fashion is something that has decreased from my interest in blogging for a while now so I only feel like I should focus on my more passionate topics. These being beauty and lifestyle. Lifestyle being my life and what I have experienced or what is going on. I feel like you will agree with me when I say that I wouldn't put anything on my blog I wouldn't read myself. I don't want to bore you guys right enough with all my life and goings on. 

I just want to be real with you guys.
Let's be happy!

FACE OF THE DAY



Hello girlies, it has definitely been too long since my last post, and I hope I can make up for my absence with this everyday make up routine.

Since I normally have really early classes and if I can be bothered wearing any make up that day these are normally the products that I like to grab for a quick and simple look.

Since I'm not one for wearing a foundation on an everyday basis I really do like going for a BB cream, it's very light on the skin and is great for my extremely dry skin in this winter weather. This ones from Rimmel London and it's great for my student budget and does the job I am looking for.
Obviously we all get those occasional spot and being a student we are definitely prone to the dark circles from lack of sleep, so my collection concealer does a great job in making sure I look like I have had enough sleep the previous night, which is something all us girls hope for, especially for a long day ahead. 

For my eyebrows and eyes I normally keep these both natural with just using a brow mascara to keep the brows in place and giving them a slight tint, which helps if you are needing to find to get that eyebrow wax and tint on your day off. 
I never normally spend time on any eyeshadow and only just use a black mascara and this in the sentential mascara from Maybelline and this does a great does with keeping my eyelashes curled all day and looking great.

For the rest of the face I very rarely use any other products, but I have been using this new (to me) Mac Blush in Harmony for a slight contour and for me it is great, it's not too much considering I'm really pale, so normal bronzers always look too orange, but this one works great.

My brushes I use are all Real Techniques, I have a huge collection of these brushes and I would never change anything on applying my make up.

Lastly is my lip product and this was my dupe for the Mac lipliner Soar which everyone loves, But before I got the Mac lip liner I was using this Rimmel one in Eastend Snob, and now coming back to it I have fell in love all over again, and for the product itself it's great for the money. Definitely a product I would recommend, along with all the other products I have mentioned, I'm a student on a budget and these are great for everyday wear.
Let me know what you guys love to wear every day and I will check some of the products out.
