School Organisation!

Hey!

It's just Giraffe today because both of us were unable to meet up to write this post, but anyway, today I wanted to talk to you about school organisation. We can all admit that we have all lost a textbook, or forgot to do your homework and have done it in the morning that it's due or forgot to take something in.

This kind of links to our last post about New Year's Resolutions but this year why don't we make a goal to be a bit more organised for school. Here are a few tips to get you started!!

1. Pack your bag the night before. We all procrastinate and do it in the morning but it will only take about 5 mins so just quickly do it in the evening or even when you get home from school.

2. A lot of people really don't like doing homework but it must be done. So that you have more time to hang out with your friends or have a bit of time to yourself, do your homework as soon as you get in from school to get it out of the way. This takes a bit of mental motivation because we all try to put it off but just think if you get it done now, you won't have to do it later. Even better, do it in the school library at lunch because then you will have even more time to chill out!

3. If you have a habit of losing your school books (like me!), clear out a drawer or small area in your bedroom and keep all of your books in there. Try to leave books that you don't need at home, at school (if you can) in a locker etc. 

4. Finally, if your locker is a bit of a pig sty- filled with loads of random pieces of paper etc- just take some time to sort it out and give everything its own place. It may not be fun but it will only take a couple of minutes. 

I hope that this post has helped you and that you have enjoyed it.

New Year...

Hi everyone!

Today we are going to talk about something a little more serious... New Year. So most people make up New Year's resolutions e.g "I am going to lose weight." But lets be truthful... we rarely keep those promises all the way to the end of the year!

We all make unrealistic New Year's Resolutions like the example above, so this year we are going try to make realistic ones that can make us better people! For example make a goal like be more organised, join a new club at school or do a fun run for example. Or make a promise to someone else but make sure you can keep it!

The truth is, every year giraffe and I make unrealistic New Year's Resolutions that will not last a whole week let alone a year.

But also why do you have to change on New Year's Day? Can't you change any day? Just a thought! Maybe if you are reading this post halfway through July or whenever change your life now for the better! When you have finished reading this, go outside and do something productive and enjoyable or even just help out your family with chores- it may not be fun but your family will appreciate it loads!

We just want you to think about your goals before you make them. 

What have you done recently that you are proud of?

Winter Makeup! (MUA)

Howdy Everyone!

So today we are going to show you how to do a simple and easy Winter Makeup tutorial in only 5 steps! Let's get started!

1. Apply your usual everyday base (concealer and foundation), we prefer matte! And then apply a medium toned blusher to give a nice rosy glow! 

MUA blushers are affordable and pigmented. If you can't get them in your country you can order them online from the MUA website http://www.muastore.co.uk/

2. Heavy brows are in this Winter so go down to Boots/Superdrug/your local drugstore and find a nice new powder or gel! We suggest using a MAC 266 Angled Brush to apply the powder for the best application. We also enjoy the MUA Brow Kit because it is affordable and does the job!

3. Onto the eyes! There are always loads of different looks each year but we just enjoy a smokey eye!

To do this you need a fluffy blending brush, an applicator brush that packs on the colour and a palette that contains a range of dark and light colours. Apply a light, natural base and then with a medium toned colour apply it from the center of the lid to the outside of the lid. Finally with a dark colour like black put it through the crease with the fluffy brush. To highlight the lid add a shimmery light colour under the brow bone and in the inner corners. Also run a mixture of the colours on the lash line. We recommend using any of the MUA eyeshadow palettes, especially the Elysium Palette. It also comes with a double ended eyeliner : black and a highlighting colour.

4. To finish off the eyes apply a black liquid liner to your top lash line in a thickness that suits your eyeshape. If you can't do eyeliner very well tweet us if you want us to do a blog post on it. (our Twitter will be at the bottom of this post) Or you can direct message us on Instagram/Twitter or comment on one of our Instagram pictures! (our Instagram will also be down below!)

Add a few coats of black mascara too, if you want you can add natural falsies.

5. Finally add a coat of a medium to dark toned berry lipstick. Berry lipsticks look good when they are matte. If you don't want a dark lip, you can apply a natural colour.

We hope you enjoyed this blog post! If you try to recreate the look feel free to tweet us a picture on Twitter or Instagram!

Halloween!

Howdy everyone!

So this blog post is going to be a bit rambly but we hope that you still enjoy it because we enjoyed typing it!

Around this time we love just to watch all these Diy Halloween costumes videos on YouTube and extravagant makeup tutorials that we know we can't do but just enjoy trying!

We don't really enjoy watching scary horror movies though! We are two scaredy cats! Meow😃

It is best at Halloween to have a go at making your own costumes! Get in the spooky spirit and do it yourself! It's a fun rainy day activity and gets you to be all creative! You can do it with your friends and family too! Often it turns out looking better than a shop bought costume too!

If you didn't want to go all out on big Halloween decorations just get some cotton balls and make them into spiders webs by pulling them apart! Also get some nice little fairy lights in the shapes of pumpkins or some Halloween themed things! And just drape them around your room!

You can make cool Halloween themed foods too! Like eyeball cake pops (velvetgh0st) or some cupcakes with nice Halloweeny type decorating!

So we hope you enjoyed this spooky post and we will upload again soon!

Also follow us on Twitter and Instagram (@cailascreations)and tag us in photos or tweet to us and we will reply!
