Sunshine awards!

Hey guys, so we have some great news. We have been no,instead for the sunshine awards by classychicxo.blogspot.com :) check out her post here! http://classychicxo.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-sunshine-award.html

First I have to write 11 facts about myself. It is times like these I realise I know nothing about my myself haha! 

1) I am a massive Harry Potter nerd, I love it! 

2) I am also a huge history nerd as well... 

3) I am 17 years old and studying at sixth form! 

4) I want to go into drama and English when I leave!

5) I go to Sylvia Young theatre school in London in my holidays! 

6) I am an only child. 

7) because my name is Jamie the guy who christened me thought I was a of, despite the fact I was in a white floaty dress haha :p

8) I absolutely love reading and writing!!!

9) when I am older I would like to live in London! 

10) I have straight hair but I curl it every day (naughty) 

11) I love the killers so much, they are amazing!! :D

Wow, that was hard haha! Next up is the questions I was asked so here we go... 

1) my favourite ever Christmas movie is, without a doubt, love actually! It is such an adorable film! 

2) my celebrity crush is probably someone none of you will have heard of! His name is Aneurin Barnard and he played Richard the third in the white queen. He is so talented and has brown Flicky hair which is my weakness haha! 

3) my favourite clothing store is Zara. It is quite expensive but you can get some really smart and unusual clothes from there. It is perfect for sixth form! 

4) my favourite place in the world is a really hard one... I am going to have to be really cheesy and say my home. No matter where I go and how beautiful it is, I always miss my family! 

5) my favourite holiday was definitely Florida!  It is amazing there, loved every minute of it. 

6) my plans for Christmas are not very exciting haha! Christmas Day and Boxing Day we spent at home with the family and then I will just be eating far too much food and getting overly chubby :p 

7) I would definitely leave the house without make up on, yeah! I love doing my make up but sometimes it is nice to be able to give your eyes a good rub without smudging mascara all the way down my face! 

8) I prefer online shopping. I tend to be really fussy if I go out and never end up buying it because 'it doesn't suit me'. I am so much braver when online shopping although I do end up spending a lot more and it limits my range of shops! 

9) my favourite magazine is another hard one as I am more of a book girl haha! I like vogue but I am not a hard core collector of any really. Whatever takes my fancy at the time :) 

10) my favourite make up product is my fake up!! It is from benefit and it is amazing :) I get really bad dark circles and this is just a life saver in a morning!!

11) my favourite TV show is once upon a time or the white queen! The white queen has finished but I am still awaiting the series 3 of ouat!! I am such a oncer :p

Favourite Drug Store Foundation!

Hey guys! Today I'm going to do my favourite drug store foundation!
Basically a cheap foundation you can find in Boots / Superdrug without delving into luxury brands.

My favourite drug store has to be the:
Revlon Colorstay Foundation - combination to oily skin - 150 buff (my shade)

This is what the packaging of mine looks like:

Now with research on this the packaging has changed. And I'm hoping not the actual product has, if it has I doubt it will be very much, the point I have noticed is the one (above) is the one I own has an SPF 15 whereas the newer one has SPF 6.
The recent packaging looks like this:

So anyway, this foundation is medium - full coverage so it is very buildable which is great also it is oil-free. This goes onto the skin pretty well, it is rather thick so you are best using a stippling/foundation brush. I use the expert face brush because I think it works best. 
This is very good coverage, I have a few break outs every now and again but I have plenty of freckles I like to cover up and this does a pretty good job of doing it. This is such a good colour aswell, I do think that the colours are really accurate and you will find one for your skin tone. 

Boots - £12.49! Tried a few more different drugstore and this by far is my favourite.
The only con to this is it isn't a pump action one, it's one you have to pour out meaning you could either get too much product or too less. So the only thing I'd change is the pump!

Abbie!

Christmas Day #18!

Hey guys, hope you're all well.
I'm going to be giving you my opinion on the MUA Undress Me too Palette today, before I start, MUA stands for make up academy and this is Superdrug's own brand.

So without rambling on this is what the palette looks like:

So like I said, it's from Superdrug you may possibly find the stand at your local one or you can order offline on www.MUAstore.co.uk.This is priced at £4 which I find an excellent price!

This palette is made up of skin-toned pearly colours, some bronze shimmer shades and some darker tones to transform the look from day to night. I think this palette is not only an amazing price for the quality but the pigment is great too. They are lasting to me (I use an eye base too) and are great to transform your look. I use my palette everyday!

For work I go for a natural look so I'd use - shy (natural ish shimmery bright shade) all of the lid and a tiny bit in the tear duct to make my eyes look bigger and more awake. Then I'd use Lavish (dark brown matte shade) or Fiery (bronze shimmery colour) depending on how I'm feeling if I'm honest, I alternate between the two to put in the crease to add abit more definition .I do love this palette especially the matte black shade it comes with which is great to do eyeliner above or below the waterlines of your eye to then smoke it out or make a flick for a dramatic look. Definitely recommend for the price!

Abbie :-)

Drama school!

Really, really quick post but I am getting really excited! Look what came through my left box today... 

I have been having a good read through it and, hopefully, I will be able to apply here next year! :D it looks amazing and the drama course could not be more perfect!! 

Had a lovely day today (although I am coming down with a cold sob sob) and saw Abbie tonight which was really nice. Had such an hilarious night!! Incase I haven't mentioned it before.... I havementioned about 70 times this month haha, you have to try a honeycomb and cream hot chocolate from Costa! They are so yummy! 

At a carol service tomorrow with school (should be fun when I can't even speak right now haha) and then I have a whole day off time table to do Christmasy things which will be lovely. 

Right, I am going now to get myself a Horlicks and go to bed feeling sorry for myself :p 

Night guys :D

Christmas Day #17!

So I've already tweeted what my blog is on today which is Prom! 

Bit of back ground to it, Prom is a formal ball/meal to celebrate leaving school. I went to a local school where I live, called the Elizabethan High School, I left school in 2012 meaning my prom was also in 2012!
Because it was so long ago I can't remember the exact make-up products I used purely because I'm forgetful and it is nothing special, I looked awful!

So I did my own hair and make-up for Prom because I wasn't too sure about going in general and wasn't that bothered about it, I don't do formal events!
It's a great night, but not my thing!

Dress: So I wore a long silk dress which was dark grey (ish) colour which had small detailing at the top. It had ruffles around the cleavage area and a strap with little sparkly bits on one shoulder. If I ever refer to this dress, I call it the "binbag" lol.

Accessories: I wore this with silver strappy shoes with a 2 inch heel just so I didn't have to take them off and also a small silver clutch from Dorothy Perkins. To top it all off I wore my mum's wedding Tiara which was beautiful and some small diamond earrings.

Make up: I can't tell you specifics! However I went for a nude look with a pink lip (when I went to prom, if I'm honest, I had no real clue about make up style) Then I put some fake eyelashes on aswell!

Hair: I curled my own hair as you would normally then brushed it out to make looser curls and put a ton of hair spray on it!

This is what I looked like, I didn't take many photo's! 
If you have any photo's from your prom tweet and show us at @scoshgirls or comment down below!!
Hope you enjoyed this

Abbie :D

Christmas Day #16!

Today is meant to be Abbie's day but she has lost all power so sends her apologises! Unfortunately this means you are stuck with me haha, poor you! 

I decided today I would write about my favourite memories using pictures I have taken recently! 

Right so picture one is a picture of me in London! I was at SylviaYoung's Theatre School which I go to most holidays and it is my second home, I absolutely love it! This picture was taken when I sept the evening with one of my best ever friends, Ben! We had such a lovely evening :) I don't get chance to see my friends from London as often as I would like but they are some of my best friends ever!! Maria is coming down for next year which I am so so excited for :D 

This next picture comes from my 17th birthday party meal. There was about 20 of us that went from school and we had such a lovely evening! I am with my friend, Tal here who only started at our sixth form this year! We went to Prezzo which is a really nice place to go as a group :) as you can see by my completely cleaned plate, I rather enjoyed the food :p 

Aw, this is one of my favourites! This is a few of my friends and I at our prom in July! We had it at a place called to White Heather and before we went all met at Hannah's house (the girl in greeny blue) for pre-prom champagne. It was a really lovely evening. Infant, I loved the whole day. I have my hair and eye lashes done and was pampered all day which was great haha! Getting my dress sorted was a pretty stressful experience and I ended up going for the complete opposite to what I thought but I really liked it! (I am the one in blue at the front). In this picture, despite my smiling face, my poor feet have never felt such pain :p I managed to keep them shoes on all night, so proud! 

Finally, this picture was taken this Halloween! It was a bit of a spontaneous party so. Didn't really have long to plan an outfit and ended up borrowing most of Jess's wardrobe and went as a leopard! The make up was so easy to do and all I needed was black eye liner, brown and gold eye shadows and golden glitter, which I had on me! For my hair I just back combed it really really big and used a lot of hair spray so it looked like a mane haha! It was a pain to get out the next day but it was definitely worth it for such a good night :D 

So that has been my last few months or so in pictures! Please don't judge my cheesy grin in the last picture, I was very excited... Clearly :p hope you have all had a good Monday! Wow, that was an oxymoron if I have ever heard one! 

If you have any pictures send us a tweet @scoshgirls 

What is your favourite ever memory?

Christmas Day #15!

I was at Jess's today and she was having a nail polish sort out and gave me some of the ones she didn't use! 

She gave me loads of new brands to try which is really exciting as I love trying out different nail polishes but I can be a little bit sceptical if it is not a brand I know. There are also some really cute christmasy colours, like the gold and the two glittery reds! I think for Christmas Day I will do red with a gold feature nail :D 

Today I used No7 stay perfect which you can see in picture two. It is a really pretty mauve colour with a little bit a glitter to make it festive. Me being a glitter addict though, decided to put over the top and golden glitter which worked really well. I think it looks really cute :) 

If you are going to put a glitter coat make sure the first coat is properly dried because, if not, it can smudge your first coat and then you will have to do the whole thing again (which is always really annoying) 

If you tend to find you have loads of make up or nail polish you don't wear, swapping with friends is a great way to avoid wasting money. Obviously you shouldn't share certain make up items like mascara, eye liner and brushes but other bits of bobs you can swap with people! 

What is your favourite nail polish?
