My University Make Up Kit

Image
Hey ! When it comes to doing my make up for university, I tend to go for a natural make up look, nothing too bold or bright. I also love to use the same make up products every day so that I know that the look will look good on me. So, let me present to you my University Make Up Kit. Essence XXXL Nude lip gloss in the shade Taste The Sweets. This beautiful shade is a light pink colour that is nearly nude that leaves your lips looking natural and with a thin layer of gloss. This lip gloss is extremely suitable if you are trying to perfect a natural make up look. The lip gloss is highly pigmented and glides on your lips easily. The consistency of this is a thin and non-sticky formula that leaves the lips feeling smooth and moisturized. I must point out that this lip gloss has a faint fruity smell, and that you need to constantly reapply it as it has a weak staying power. Essence Lash Princess Volume Mascara The thing I love most about the Mascara is it's ...

Apps over paper.

Hey ! This is kind of a continuation of the last post. I do realise that some of you may not want to be carrying around a planner with you all day , every day, to be organisational . However, I do know that most of us carry our phones everywhere all day, every day. And let's admit it - going to the toilet has never been more entertaining. Gone are the days when we used to read the back of shampoo, conditioner or whatever bottles trying to pass the time. Or is that just me? SO *back on point* I have compiled a list of  apps that I actually do use that make my life a tad easier when I don't want to take out my planner or if my planner is out of reach. Wunderlist : Make to do lists Set Due Dates and Reminders and Assign to-dos Free on Iphone, Ipad,Android, Mac, Windows and the Web Keep  You can add notes, lists and photos, and you can sync them to all of your devices through your email account. I Iove this app because you can set ...

Step 1 to a more Organised Life.

Image
Hey ! Maybe not step 1 for you BUT it was my step 1. One of my goals for this year was to be more organised and there is nothing more organised than a planner. What you must understand is that having a planner doesn't mean having to go out (or go online) and find a great yet expensive planner. So, I am going to tell you how to make a planner with stuff you might have running around the house. First you're going to need an A5 binder. I must admit that I did buy this, but it was a long time ago and it actually wasn't for the purpose of a planner. It was so I can write my story ideas in it. ANYWAYS. Secondly : you know those copy books you used to use in school? And you used to only use half of it at school so now you have a pile of unfinished copy books? (Or is this just me?) PAPER. YOU NEED PAPER. I got most of my paper from old copy books but you can get it from wherever you like. I guess the paper depends on if you're going to totally DI...

Summer Beauty Favourites

Image
Hey! With Summer vacation being nearly over, I have decided to talk about my favourite summer products ! Summer is always the time that I decide to change my makeup staples. This Summer I have purchased some new products from my favourite drugstore brand Essence, and have tried my first Tanya Burr products.   Essence- I Like Long Lashes Let's start off with the packaging : it's nothing fancy, it's a basic,black, slim mascara bottle with pink letters. The brush of this is really small and so are the hairs on the wand , which makes it perfect to coat every lash. What I love about this mascara is that you can layer it a few times without it getting too clumpy, or give you a spidery effect, and also it provided length and volume without exaggerating. Also, it stays on your lashes all day ! Essence - XXXL long lasting lip gloss in Silky Red This beautiful red lipgloss is more of a lip cream to be honest. It comes in a transparent, plastic tube ...

Things I am tired of hearing about Trichotillomania

Image
Hey ! A few weeks ago I had discussed ways that a person can control their urges of pulling hair by doing other things. Living with Trichotillomania is horrible when people don't see it as a psychological disorder, and I hear the same things over and over again by anyone who finds out that I pull my hair out. Today I am going to tell you some of the things that I have had enough of hearing ! "Why don't you just stop?" It is extremely hard to explain to people that I CAN'T JUST STOP. Trich is a compulsive disorder and there is no medication to reduce the impulse of pulling hair. It is worse when someone says "just stop," because I don't people realise how extremely hard it is to try to stop. If a person with Trichotillomania wants to stop then it frustrating for them when they pull hair since they feel like they can control themselves but also feel frustrated because they aren't pulling hair since pulling hair is a way o...

Owl Crate Unboxing : August 2016

Image
Hey ! It’s that wonderful time of month again when the postman comes bearing a beautiful owlcrate box. This month's theme is Fast Times at YA High. So basically it held items from YA books that occurred in High School.  I had to get this box ever since I found out that it will have an Eleanor and Park inspired piece of jewelry, and as you all should know by now.. I LOVE ELEANOR AND PARK. So I am going to ignore the order on the Spoiler Card and start with the necklace inspired by Eleanor and Park SINCE IT IS THE SOLE REASON THAT I GOT THIS BOX. The necklace was created by OwlCrate and comes in the cutest blue bag. It is basically a small circular pendant with the photo from the book cover in a glass dome, and it also has a small metallic cassette tape. What I love about this necklace is that it has got a long chain. Now that that is out the way I shall now resume with the order on the Spoiler Card or I'll get overwhelmed by all the goodies ! OwlCra...

A-Z of Me

Image
Hey ! I have realised that apart from my About Me page, which doesn’t say much, and little facts that I slipped in in posts I haven't actually told you much about me. So, today I have decided to write a A-Z of me, which has been inspired by AnotherRantingReader. A - Abygayle. My name. Fun Fact : As a child, all invitations addressed to me included my name being misspelt, and it didn't matter how many times I told the children in my classes that it is Aby-gay-le they always forgot the second Y. Or, they would write it the common way 'Abigail'. B- Bibliophile Oh,books ! What would I do without your wonderful characters and your amazing worlds? Nothing ! I would do nothing and feel empty all the time ! C- Creative Writing Apart from reading, this is what I love to do the most ! Fun Fact : My first story was about two siblings who murdered their father because he was like a tyrant in their home….and I was 14 when I wrote it. D- DeadP...
