Beauty Tips and Advice

Hey guys!

So we are going to be doing a slightly different (ish) blog post! Today we are doing Beauty Tips and Advice! And guess what we are doing this post together!!! Whoop whoop!

The first tips are about Eye Make Up!!
1.On hooded eyes, matte shades are good to make the eyelid appear less hooded.
2.Applying a white eyeliner on the waterline will make your eye look larger and brighter.
3.When applying mascara push the wand up at the roots of your eyelashes. Also wiggle the wand and pull it up for long lashes.
4.Here's a diagram to help you with the proportions for your eyebrows:

The next tips are about Nail Polish:

1.When doing straight lines in your nail art try using tape but remove the tape as soon as you have finished applying the nail polish.

2. Most people don't have fancy nail tools (unless you are a nail artist) so if you want a nice dotting tool, a toothpick is perfect or a cocktail stick!

3. If you tend to get nail polish on your fingers put PVA glue around the nail and cuticle area to prevent the nail varnish getting on your skin. Then peel it off after the manicure has dried. Vaseline and latex also works.

4. You can make 3D nail decorations out of fimo clay.

These tips are about your lips:

1. To make your lipstick matte put translucent or talcum powder over the lipstick. Apply generously.

2. On the outer corner apply a darker lipstick to shade and tone your lips, giving the effect of fuller lips.

3. Exfoliate your lips with a clean toothbrush for smooth lips.

4. To contour and highlight your lips, use a bronzer underneath your bottom lip and a highlighter on your cupids bow.

Valentines Day Ideas! Simple and Easy!

Hey guys!

So today, it's mouse again! And seeing as Valentines Day is coming up I thought I would give you some nice ideas of what things you could do, make on Valentines Day whether you have a Valentine or not!

First off a few things to make!

You can make some really sweet treats which are nice and easy to create!

For a very easy treat to make in 5 minutes, how about decorating some marshmallows?

These marshmallows look really pretty and are simple to make, all you need are some large marshmallows, little sticks to put them on, sprinkles and icing! It's pretty self-explanatory, just decorate the marshmallows however you like! It would be quite fun to do this with your friends or your Valentine!

For a nice little gift for Valentines Day you can make anything from letters to cuddly toys but these really cute letters are simple and easy to make.

And they don't just have to be for Valentines Day they can be for your friends/family etc.

Finally a little activity to do on Valentines Day!

If you are stuck for what to do on Valentines Day evening, go and do some baking (you could make the marshmallows) with or without your Valentine and then go and watch a movie with all of your nice treats! Don't forget the hot chocolate!

For any more ideas be sure to check out Pinterest, Instagram and Google Images ha ha!

January Favourites

Hey guys!

So it's mouse today, no giraffe unfortunately! We just haven't had the time to get together and prepare a post recently! Sorry!

Recently we have been uploading a post EVERY Sunday! And we are both proud of ourselves haha! When we first started we would keep missing out weeks but we like to make sure there is enough content on our blog for you to enjoy!

So today I am going to be talking about our January favourites! Blimey, it feels so weird to think we are quite far into 2015 already!

Anyways so enough of me rambling, let's get on with the show!

So let's start off with...

Makeup!

First off, we have both been enjoying the Naked 3 pallette by Urban Decay! We both have it now and are in LOVE with it! It's just got such a big variety of colours and it's so versatile! All the colours are very pigmented and very pretty! The only problem is it costs £37 eek!

Next we have both been loving Baby Lips by Maybelline, they are just so moisturising and they smell delightful! They are also a great bargain and very travel friendly!

Now I have been enjoying the Reason Colourburst Matte Balm Lip Crayon in 205 Elusive! It's a really love pinky nude colour and is just really natural but also gives a pop of colour! It isn't too pricey but I wouldn't recommend it if you were on a very tight budget!

Next up...

Skincare!

So there are two favourite skin care ranges that we have been loving!

We both love Zoe Sugg's (Zoella) beauty range! It has so many lovely and cute products that we just want all of them! She also has makeup bags and the latest one she brought out is polka dot patterned and says 'Just say yes!' which is a really nice quote!

Our second skincare favourite is the Simple Skincare Range! The products are all really affordable and are great for your skin! They are very natural and feel fantastic!

Lastly are some random favourites!

So we have been listening to some songs non stop on repeat!

I'm sure you have all heard...
Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson ft Bruno Mars.
Blank Space by Taylor Swift
Fireball by Pitbull

These songs have all gotten our toes tapping!

Personally this month I have been using notebooks non stop for school work and organising myself (which was one of my resolutions!) and I have been loving Paperchase's notebooks!

I have been loving the film Warm Bodies, which is a zombie romance film! It's really good and well written! If you want a film review on it please tell us!

Anyways so that was our January Favourites! What have you been loving? Tweet us or follow us on Instagram!

Tips for a successful pamper night with your friends!

Hey Everyone!

Today it's giraffe and I'm going to give you some tips and ideas for a pamper night with your friends. Pamper nights are a really fun and relaxing activity to do and I highly recommend doing them every so often :)

Things to do on pamper nights:

1, Do a skin care regime: it's so much fun applying face masks to each other and you can also cleanse and tone your face for silky skin in the morning!
2. Listen to some of your favourite music on a really high volume! It's fun to just have a mini party whilst doing your pamper night!!
3. Put onesies on: why not be pampered in comfort... and anyway who doesn't love onesies?!?!?!?
4. Light some scented candles to feel even more relaxed.
5. Bake some delicious cakes or cookies to nibble on.
6. Search for some hairstyle ideas (like braids/plaits or up-do's) to try on each other!
7. If you're on your own have a bath with some Lush products (eg: bath bombs) and read a book or play on your favourite apps- making sure not to drop your book or device in the water!!

I hope you enjoyed this post- sorry it was just a quick one!! Make sure to send us your ideas or comments about this post on all of our social media...

Would You Rather Beauty Tag!

Hey Guys!

So it is only Mouse today! And I was looking for a fun tag to do and this one popped up! I hope you enjoy!

1.Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up or nice hair and no make-up?
Nice hair and no make-up, I mean messy hair would just look disgusting...

2. Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?
Shave my eyebrows, I could fill them in easily rather than having to put false lashes on everyday!

3 Would you rather be forced to shop at MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?
MAC! I love MAC!

4. Would you rather wear lipgloss/lipliner look or 80's perm?
Erm... I guess lipgloss/lipliner look...

5. Would you rather leave your house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush?
Foundation line because you could over it with your hair...

6. Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public?
Biker shorts I think.

7. Would you rather have a bad orange-y spray tan or weird tan lines that can't be covered?
Weird tan lines, if you had a bad orange-y spray tan you would stand out sooooo much! I think that the tan lines would be a bit more subtle.

8. Would you rather have a bad hair cut or a bad hair colour?
Bad hair colour because you could dye it back to the original colour or stick a hat on it!

9. Would you rather have YouTube or Twitter taken away forever? (I know this isn't really beauty related but this was one of the questions!)
Twitter because I am ADDICTED to YouTube!

10. Would you rather give up using makeup brushes or mascara?
Makeup brushes because you can apply makeup with other things e.g makeup sponge

So I hope you all enjoyed this post! If you feel like answering any of our questions feel free to tweet us or DM us on Instagram! We would love to hear your feedback!

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.

Love From
