Back to school Hair and makeup // collab with Lexi Lois and Charlotte

Hey guys. I'm super excited for today's blogpost. It's a collab with three of my favourite people. Lois who is doing , Lexi and Charlotte. We're all doing back to school posts.


So Basically the effort of doing your Makeup for school. I honestly don't really wear makeup to school some days. But when I do I like to a natural eye Shadow look but lots of mascara because I think we all love having long lashes. Also if your like me and have a lot of hair then your like all keeping your hair our your face the I have a couple of very simple hairstyles for yous.

Before I start were all doing different topics of back to school, but I'll let you Go and check to see what the others did.

          So here I have a very natural eye look using it Maybelline The Nudes pallete.
    So when I went to take a picture of the colours I used it decided not to focus. But I used the first        two colours on the top row. It's a glittery white and a purpley greyishColour and when I blended them           it made a lovlely natural looks.

                                             A little photo of me doing my makeup.

                It doesn't show up that well in camera but I love this Makeup look as it's simple.

                   Also the way my eye shows the shadows it shows up darker on my right eye.

     The Maybelline pallete I used. I'm in love with this pallete. It's amazing It blends really good.

                    You can also create natural looks with it aswell so for school it's great

               The maybelline lash sensational which is amazing and makes my eyelashes so long. 

                                        And to add more volume I use Clinique high lengths.

         I used a bit of this BB cream by Astor. I'm doesn't give a cover but it gives a bit of a glow.

                                                    Also me looking like an idiot 

  For my hair I usually just do simple hair styles. As it takes far less time and my school uni for, is a high neck jumper with a polo so hair with that is annoying.

The first one is just a messy bun which I did with just one bobbin so if your in school and feel like putting your hair up then this is quick and simple and you could even do it in class. As long as you

don't get caught.

   The next one is a half up half. All I did was get a bit of my hair at the front and then just tie it up

                                      As if you were doing a pony tail but with a smaller bit. 

   The next one is just natural hair which for some people it's straight but for me it's in between wavy   

                     and straight. But I might put it in plaits he night before if I want it wavy.

         This one is just a pony tail which I usually have high but if I feel like it I might Do a lower one.

Some other ideas your can do are a ballerina bun hitch you could use a doughnut for,

Any hairstyle using a French braid. You could do one with a bun or a pony tail. Or just do two French braids on either side or one in the middle. You could just have a normal side plait aswell but these don't suit me so i never wear them.

Back to school

Hey guys since school is just around the corner I thought I'd do a few back to school posts. There's a collab coming with some of my favourite girls which I'm super excited for. But today I'm going to little back to school tips.

We all know school can be a pain and even though now we think school o

Is awful you'll want to go back when your older. And I've been going to school for ten years now and I've never hated school. I'm not a big fan of the learning but I like going and talking to people and having a fun time.

So here's some back to school tips about being yourself beauty and 

A lot of these are more directed to if it's your very first day at a new school or starting secondary school or high school.

1. This is probably still a big thing for me. Keep your locker TIDY. We have small lockers and I have twelve subjects and if I don't have homework I put it back in so if I don't have homework from others subjects from that day and the day before most a lot of books could be in there. It's also a lot easier to find stuff aswell.

2. Be yourself. Don't follow trends just because it's popular do what you want to do. In my school having piercings is popular and I've wanted it for a long time now and I feel that it's not as a big thing to get it done because everyone has it.

3. Don't change. This is a big one. Especially for boys. This is a big one now. I've never felt I have to change for anyone but this is more recent. Never let anyone tell you have to change your perfect the way you are.

4. Have your copys labeled on the side so you can see it or have them colour coded I know now that my history is lilac, my home ec is hot pink, my geography is a bright Blue etc.

5. Make sure to write your Homework in your journal as short as possible but you still understand it. If I'm a rush I might just write the questions and not bother with the page numbers but it'd better to write them down.

6. Be prepared for tests. If your teacher says at the end of each chapter you'll have a test then just read over the chapters again a couple of times and ask your friend to test you.

7. Keep money in your bag. If you forget your lunch you can go and get something. We're allowed out at lunch time so if you are aswell you can quickly run to the shop and get something. My school does have a canteen but the shop only open at the start of lunch and at the end so I might go to shop with my friends if they need something. Or if you need it for an emergency like forgetting bus money if you get the bus or forgot you need €2 for a class.

8. Back your bag the night before. This helps and if you have PE the next day pack that bag the night before. It saves time in the morning.

9. I don't do this but keep some makeup in you bag. I don't wear that much Makeup for school. And my bathrooms aren't the nicest. We're not allowed upstairs at lunch and the ones downstairs don't have mirrors. But in the bag keep some makeup, bobbins, bobby pins and little hairbrush and any other essentials you need.

I hope you guys enjoyed this blog post. If I missed any tips out you want people to know  leave it in the comments and if I think of at least 5 or 6 more I'll do another post.

You know you love me xoxo (if know what that's from I love you)

Love you all Lauren xx

Q and A

hey guys how are you. I'm so sorry really sorry that I haven't put up a post in ages. I'm just doing a quick Q and A but I'm happy I'm still putting up one even if it is a short one.

@cvansice7 asked how many selfies do I take on a daily basis. Depends on what I'm doing that day if I'm in all day I take loads but if I'm out I domt toke as much.


@Alicia.Anderton asked do I prefer summer or winter. I like both like I don't really like the sun because it makes me feel a bit sick and run down but I love the style but I like winter because curling up watching a Christmas movie or having a warm dinner after a really cold day and I love wearing big coats with a snood( it's a scarf with the ends sewn together so you wrap it around.) I'd say winter is my favourite.


@Allie456 asked what is my favourite item of clothing. I would never be able to choose one. I have a good bit of clothes.


@Looci_w asked 5 things for a successful blog and i suppose the main thing is do what you want to do. Just because beauty blogs might be in and you enjoy fashion or reading doesn't mean you have to do what everyone else does so what Interests you. Be yourself. Make it look nice and have it to do with what you write. Be nice and intereact. And make friends.


@Orlaherexx short sleeves or long sleeves in summer. I domt even where long sleeves unless it's a jumper they don't suit me.


@Charlottecbeauty asked favourite makeup brand. Maybelline it's my all time favourite.



@LaLivin asked favourite thing to have for breakfast. I don't know I'm not a big fan of huge breakfasts. I eat it but I just have anything really but mostly weetabix.


She also Asked swim with sharks or Dolphins. Dolphins all the way.

If I could dye my hair any Colour for 24 hours what colour would I dye it. Candyfloss pink or lilac



I hope you enjoyed this quick little q and a. Hope your all doing good. I've missed writing blog posts.


Love you all Lauren.
