Forgotten Photography

Back in summer myself and Beth went out on our famous mate dates to the Harvester, so naturally I decided to bring my Canon along with me. Although I didn't take many photos I did take a couple that I love and not 100% sure why I never posted them.

I really miss summer purely because I spent every moment with a camera in my hand obsessed with the magic of photography, don't get me wrong I still love it so much but I just don't have the time to go on random photography adventures like I used to.

Anyway, here are my favourite shots from the random shoot we had.

Lush | 50% Sale

January sales mean one thing and one thing only, LUSH SALE!

I went to town with Laura quite a while ago now and to be quite honest our time in lush was a bit of a blur. Frantically smelling everything, glitter everywhere, violently shoving the things into the paper bags they give you and all round just going mental. At this point we were the only people in the shop. Usually I'm not massively fussed about Lush bath bombs, I really love their skin care and body washes but as soon as Candy Mountain is on the shelves I'm a new woman.

I bought quite a few bath bombs and honestly it wasn't that expensive, I got 8 for just under £15 which is such a bargain I'm still not over it! I decided to do a little haul and show you the ones I got, of course Lush products have tonnes and tonnes of good things in them, which is always a bonus!
Since it's like the 15th  of January I'm not 100% sure if they'll have any of this stock left as they're the Christmas collection but I mean, worth a try!

I literally love Lush so I went in with my Sony Alpha and took some cute shots around the shop. I am not going to lie this is the most awkward I have felt in a long time. I wish my camera didn't make so many noises. Despite the awkwardness I am really happy with how the photos turned out. 

Sorry I couldn't leave links the Christmas stock is no longer online. Let me know what your favourite Lush product is, mine is Candy Mountain, I'm dying to know all the secrets Lush has to offer.

Photography | 2015

This year was a great year in regards to my photography as I finally got my DSLR and I could not be happier. I decided to go back and look at all the photos I took this year and my favourites by far are the ones I forced my friends to be models for.

From these photos it is clear that I was experimental with my locations but not necessarily the types of photos I took. So in 2016 I am going to be more experimental and creative with the photos I take, as I feel 2015 was focused on models.

Overall, I feel like my photography has really progressed this year and I am really hoping that as I work through the Read this if you want to take great photographs book my skills will improve. 

My main photography aim for 2016 is to get more candid photos, I want to go into the city and capture daily life rather than posed models, which I do enjoy and will continue but it won't be my main focus. I'm ready to try something new. 

Here are a few of my favourite modelling photos of 2015

Christmas Mac and Nars Collection

Christmas was only a few days ago and I was so so so lucky I am so grateful for everything I received but my most favourite thing I got was my selection of Mac Products, and a couple of Nars bits. I couldn't resist writing a post talking about the products I got, so lets get into it!

In the past I haven't been that much of a lipstick fan but once I got my hands on a this beauty; Mehr. This colour is the same one that Kylie Jenner wears, and as you can slightly see in the foreground of the above image is the lip pencil that I got to go with the lipstick in the colour Sour. I love Mac matte lipsticks as they have such good staying power. 

Matte Lipstick - Mehr £15.50

Lip Pencil - Soar £12.50

The first thing I got was this beautiful matte Mineralise Skin finish bronzer, which I use to contour as the matte finish makes it look a lot more natural. This product, along with other Mac products is very pigmented so only a tiny bit goes a long way, making it excellent value for money.

Mineralise Skin Finish Bronzer - Medium Deep £24

I'll be honest I'm not a massive blush wearer but there's no denying that Nars' Orgasm blush is the most beautiful blush. It's also really pigmented yet not too pink on the cheek that you look like a doll. This blush is now a staple item in my make up bag!

Nars - Orgasm £23

Nars have so many amazing products but this Nars highlighter is something I have had my eye on for a long time. I am always on the look out for new highlights and illuminators as they're all so beautiful and I just want to try them all. My favourite thing about this highlight is it has a hint of shimmer so it really catches the light. 

Nars - Mortal £18

I am always on the look out for something new and something that will add a little something to my make up so this product is one of my favourite things. It is a perfect addition as it can be used as an highlight or an all over cheeky shimmer. 

Mineralize Skinfinish - Soft & Gentle £24
