The best beauty finds on ebay | part 2

I spend far too much money and time on ebay,
I do class myself as a professional "ebayer" you could call it my superpower, 
And somethings now it pains me a little to buy them in stores,
when i know how cheap i could find them on ebay.  
So today i thought i would share my wisdom with you all on my best ebay finds.

I also have a post on some more ebay beauty finds,
so please feel free to have a peek. 

 Bikinis 



The options on ebay for bikinis are endless and the prices are even better!
They normally range from £6-£10 which is great if you're wanting to stock up on
some really cute ones for summer! plus this triangle dupe is amazing! 



Phone cases



I'm so obsessed with buying phone cases! and ebay is the perfect place to
go crazy but not hurt my bank balance to much.
I hate to see people buying phone cases from those crazy expensive stands in the mall  
when you can get the same cases for £0.99-£5.



Bobby pins


I used to have the same struggle with these babies but now i have enough 
for every single one of you, i bought a pack of 300 for £5 
bobby pins for days. 



Nail accessories 



You can buy almost any kind of nail art tool or decorations you can think of on ebay
and its so cheap! one of these wheels are normally £1.50.
I also bought a full at home nail acrylic kit for £10 which saves so much money!



I hope you like this little series of all my best ebay goodies,
Because i love making them. 
here are some more great deals from ebay!


 

Keeping a planner


Organization has never been something i'm good at, and especially not something i enjoy doing! 
But having a planner by my side recently, and really committing to keeping a planner 
 has made my life organized and stress free. 
 The decoration process is what really makes it easy to keep on top of daily tasks
Plus not gonna lie, its what keeps my planner in use because i love looking at it
And its become something i really look forward to, 
sitting down, decorating my planner and organizing my life once a week.

I keep my daily to-do's, tasks and weekly and monthly goals all displayed 
in a way that is eye catching and a perfect fit for me.

pros to keeping a planner 

.Keep organized daily 
.Keep on top of school work
.Remember amazing memories
.Keep track of fitness goals
.Making your planner beautiful 

There is a big community out there on the interwebs that plan like this
and if you are familiar with this trend or if i have just introduced you to the world of planning, 
I hope you enjoy!



Here is my planner, it's a lilly pulitzer agenda and i love it! it has some really cute little designs
and stickers that come with it, so its great if your just getting into planning. 
 I've also personalized it with my monogram to make it a little more unique.   




 Planner stickers like this are what make it so much easier to keep organized,
 You can get stickers of almost anything now,
 For example, if you do say karati once a week there's a sticker for it!
I get most of my stickers from Etsy, and they are pretty affordable.
Also from some craft stores have great things to decorate with.
You can also decorate with washi tape, drawings and home made stickers.

If your enjoyed this post and you want to know more,
here are some of my favorite planner videos and channels for inspiration.
Also some of my favorite etsy stores to buy from!

My week



Things that made my week great

.Tan lines
.Green tea
.Orange sunlight
.Serious shopping
.My bed head hair waver
.Movies, duvets and snacks

This week was a little too indulgent, i feel like iv spoiled myself with 
eating out and shopping! mostly online shopping curled up with a duvet, 
But if you could see the pile of packages iv got in the corner of my room,
Needless to say iv done some damage, 
Its all because next week i'm going to california so 
im using that as a excuse for now.

But apart from my shopping frenzy this week has felt super productive
Iv started my planner up again that's made a whole lot of a difference.
(id love to do a post about my planner, let me know if you would like that)
I've also been trying to counterbalance my naughty dinners out with
a green tea morning and night, and keeping a water bottle by my side,
I can already tell a difference in my skin, and health over all 
so really recommend that to all of you.   

makeup and hair

 This week iv been loving my bed head deep waver! 
Iv not really been showing this one much love this past year, 
But i wanted to try something new and im obsessed with my hair like this, 
Its just more volume than i know what to do with and i love it!
I do have a little review / first impressions of this waver here.

Makeup this week iv been feeling a little lazy, 
plus my hair is kind taking the spotlight!
I've been loving just running my everyday face bronzer over my lids, 
and doing a perfect wing eyeliner. 

For the lips, i like to line them with a colour close to my natural lip colour,
Its perfect for every day while still looking glamorous!

A letter to 15 year old me




If you could go back to your awkward school days and tell yourself what you know now, 
what would you say?
Because i know exactly what i would say, i know im only 18 and not exactly a wise owl 
just yet, but i feel worlds away from the person i was 4 years ago.

If only i could of had these pieces of advise when i was that age...well
It would of made my life a whole lot easier, and saved a lot of awkward situations. 
So if you are still in that lovely stage called puberty and 
you stumble upon this post, please feel free to apply some of 
my advise to your own life, and i hope it helps!
because we have all been there and felt how you feel at some point.    

Stop caring 

One of the best things that has happened to me in the last 4 years is that
I stopped caring so much, and the more important realization that other people really don't
care that much either, if you're walking round a store with no makeup on
and some pjs that can kinda pass for normal clothes, 
I can promise you you're the only one who really cares, 
and the only one who is really judging you is yourself
 and if you can learn to not judge your self, and not care what other people think
 Of you, you're pretty much invincible.


Its whats on the inside that matters 

When i was in school i would treat each day like i was about to appear at london fashion week
because i was so shy i thought i could hide behind the mask i would wake up
at 6am everyday to put on, i was more concerned about the way i looked
than the words that would come out of my mouth.
 fast forward to today i will happily sit with no makeup on and talk to
whoever walks by, because at some point i realised that a vivid and bubbly personality is much more valuable than just a pretty face.

  

Grades matter

At the time i went through my GCSEs 
It felt like i had a million other things that was more important,
And not that i got bad grades i knew i did not do my best and that's not a nice feeling,
knowing you didn't do your best.
You have about 2 years of your life in school that your education really matters
so for those 2 years do your very best and no matter what happens you
will have no regrets.


Thank you all for listening glitter bugs!
I thought i would insert a awkward picture of me when i was fifteen, the biggest thing that makes me cringe about this photo is that i would do a whole face of make up, and not do my eyebrows...
Have a amazing day and what ever your doing today do you best.

My Top Favourite Foundations

These are my tried and tested favourite foundations which each give me something different, 
some are more light and some are more heavy coverage but all look flawless on the skin, 
I have normal to dry skin and some very red cheeks to cover so that might give you a better idea if these foundations are right for you, but I hope you enjoy and try some of these things out.
The first foundation i want to talk about is the L'Oreal true match, its feels super light on the skin but is buildable for a medium to high coverage, I can achieve flawless results with a buffing brush, this is my go to foundation for nights out where i really want to have a full face of makeup on with no imperfections coming through but i can still sheer it out for every day. 


Bare minerals is something my mum has used for years, I didn't think much of it but when I borrowed her foundation once i was extremely impressed! is feels like your not wearing anything on your skin but it looks so glowy and flawless, its a powder that almost melts in to your skin, its very natural but still a light to medium coverage


The CHANEL Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation is super light! its very similar to a tinted moisturiser but there is a little more coverage and it lasts a little longer than a tinted moisturiser would, I wear this foundation on a day when i don't want to wear makeup but I have to, its so comfortable on the skin and looks so natural
I can put it on with my fingers like a moisturiser add some powder and be done and it just looks so glowy and pretty and lets my skin breath.



Revlon color stay is one of my holy grails, the staying power on this one is really what makes this shine, i always reach for this one if i need something to last me all day, while still looking flawless, and it really will last me all day, and top secret on those naughty nights where i sleep with my makeup on, its still pretty much perfect the next day.
This foundation is truly one of my favorites and if you want to know more about it,
I did a full review on it on my blog so please check it out!



So here was my run up of my all time favourite foundations and what occasions I reach each one I have used these for a few years now but not much has been able to push these out of my top four so I truly recommend you trying these!
