Long time no speak | Photography

I am finally going to be sharing some of my recent photography shoots with Ellie, I am so sorry I have neglected this blog and left you hanging about my Disneyland trip but I have excuses don't worry!

I am now in my second semester of second year and life and uni are getting on top of me but I wanted to show you some of the work I am have been doing recently.

I don't have time to edit them so here's the raw files!

I love doing shoots with Ellie, she is a great friend of mine and a wonderful model!

Modern Renaissance Palette

I am so excited to announce that I finally have the palette I've always wanted.

When I answered the door to the delivery man I was so confused I thought it'd made a late night beauty bay purchase and I instantly thought "not again"  but it turns out my wonderful friend Kendra had surprised me.

Starting off can we talk about how flawless the colours in this palette are! It is so far out of my comfort zone but I love it, I never thought i'd say I loved the look of pinks so much.

The quality of this palette is extraordinary all the colours are so pigmented and easy to blend.

I have wanted this palette since the day it was announced and I want to thank Kendra for surprising me.
Here's more photos of it!

Snowing In Disneyland Paris | Day 1

Yes, that does say Disneyland!

I have mixed emotions writing this post, im happy that it happened but sad that it's over.

If you don't follow me on social media *wink you totally should im hilarious* you might not know that myself and my best friend in the entire universe were reunited again but this time in the happiest place on earth.

We have had this trip booked for months so when it eventually arrived it felt so surreal. We were going to Disneyland like... no.

After a train from Leeds to Manchester and a flight to Charles-de-Gaulle we were finally in the Santa Fe Hotel ready for our first evening in Disneyland.

We violently threw down our bags, got changed as fast as physically possible and ran out the door.

I was in complete shock when I finally entered the park and saw the beautiful castle lit up.  When it began to snow I knew it would be something I would never see again in my life, it was so beautiful to look up and see the snow fall onto the castle.

We didn't do much the first evening as it was freezing cold and snowing, all we really did was go on its a small world purely to get it over with cause we both hate it. We also wanted to explore the park a little and get to grips what the heck we were doing.

I could not have sat in my hotel room knowing the happiest place on earth is a 6 minute bus drive away.

After this brief few hours in the park I knew I was about to experience the most magical trip of my life!
Look out for new posts with a lot more exciting photos and adventures in the near future.

2016 Palettes | Favourites

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year it feels so strange to be back in Leeds and to be writing 2017, I feel like the past year went by in a flash. I have loved so many products this year if I did an all round post we'd be here till 2018 so to prevent that from happening I'm just going to talk about my favourite palettes.

I have a number of eye shadow palettes that I always reach for and are always in my everyday make up bag. The first one wont come as as surprise, I have sworn by this palette in 2016, no joke I've worn it practically every day.
The Tartlette palette has such beautiful browns and a couple of shimmers that together make a perfect brown smokey eye - which I will add is my go to look.

Sticking with eye shadows, I have also been loving this morphe palette, it is a pretty good dupe for the tartlette so I find myself reaching for it more often than not as I am terrified of hitting pan on my tarte palette.
This palette is such good value for money, at about £11 it is such a good palette to add to your collection it has such a good selection of colours that you can make so many looks.

The final eye-shadow palette I loved this year was my naked 2 palette, I've had this for a while like a few years and although I was addicted at first now I could live without it. That being said this year I have found myself grabbing for it more than I used it, even if it's just for one specific colour.

Moving on from eye shadow palettes now, I want to talk about this Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette is so beautiful I love it so much. The colours blend so easily and the colours are perfect, all my friends steal this palette.  I highly recommend this if you're looking for a contour palette.

 The final palette I have been obsessed with in 2016 is my Glow Kit, I think it is the most beautiful highlighter set I have access to. I fricking love it so much! I will say, each highlighter is so pigmented that sometimes I can look a little too much like im shining.

 That's all for today folks, I hope you all enjoyed this little post. I have missed just sitting and writing and it's only been a couple of weeks.

My 2017 goals are to post more blog posts and do more photography so get ready for a Jessica Rose packed year!
