Today I  ventured (not really ventured but sounded pretty dramatic and more interesting) to my boyfriend's house and we went out on an early evening walk round the village and did some baking and other things, so thought I'd post something I haven't done before and that is my 'ootd'! :) 

What I'm wearing:

'Group Pugs' tshirt - New Look
Checked coat - New Look
Denim skater skirt - Primark
Boots - I got these online somewhere a long time ago, really can't remember! They're basically nearly knee-high light brown lace up boots! They're so comfy!

Accessories - you can't see them but I was wearing my 'i love you to the moon and back' ring from ShopDixi, a few rings from Peacocks, and 2 rings from Primark. 



So that's basically it for this post! I'll leave some pictures down below of some photographs me and my boyfriend have taken today on the walk, I'm ending this post short as I need to sleep as I am going back to school tomorrow *sigh* and have to get up at a ridiculous time of 6.30 :( 
Thanks for reading lovelies!

 Secondly, I've used the champagne skin colour eye-shadow all over the lid, then used the matte brown in the crease of my lid and blended it in with a fluffy eye-shadow brush just so the lines aren't so harsh.


 I've now taken the really dark slightly sparkly brown into the second half of my crease, then blended it from the outer lid inwards slightly. Then I've used the last of it on my brush to bring it down to the bottom lashline. I used the gold eyeshadow after that and placed a little in the center of my lid just to give a pop of colour.


 Next I've taken my Maybelline Master Duo eyeliner and I've drawn a thin line from the middle of my eye right to the end. It looks a bit funny without mascara but yeah!



 Next I'm going to curl my lashes and add mascara, I'm at that stage at the moment where all my mascaras are near their end so I'm going to use 3 different ones and apply a few layers of it! Here are the mascaras I'm using - Maybelline Rocket Volume Express, Rimmel Glam 'Eyes Colour Reveal,Manhattan Ultimate Definition Mascara.




 That's basically my everyday eye look! This is what the final look is like! I actually used an eyelash comb just to get rid of some of the clumps after also. (excuse my eyebrow)



Thanks for reading lovelies! :)

• According to Bobbi Brown, choose a lipstick that is like the natural shade of your lips, but a few shades darker, if your lips are PALE, choose a lip colour that is beige,sandy, or pale pink. If your lips are a MEDIUM lip tone, use browns and rosy colours. DARK lips can pull of mulled wine,raisin,chocolate and blackberry colours. 

• Choose the colour depending on the time of day, example: stick to berry glosses in the day, then a burgundy colour for evenings and nights to intensify the look.

• Your skin tone affects your lip colour choice as well as your original lip colour, if you have an english rose colour skin tone, avoid an orangey brown lipstick, and if you have olive skin- avoid girly pinks! 

• Women with fair skin, look better in shades like nudes,apricots,pinks,light corals.

• REDS,DEEP PLUMS,CHOCOLATES + DARK SKIN TONES = YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND. Seriously. I envy those who can pull of these colours. "Women with dark skin can go in one of two directions: Toward brown or purple. Think caramel or walnut for day, and plum or wine for evening" - Allure's / Confessions of a beauty editor.

• If you have THIN lips, stay away from dark shades as they will just show of the thinness of them,creamy lighter/medium shades of lipsticks or tinted lipglosses are your best bet as they will add plumpness!

• How to pick the right shade of red? It's all about the undertones of your skin. Pink-skinned? Go for cherry reds. Olive skinned? Fire engine red. Dark skinned? Deep reds. 

• Don't match lips to your outfit!

• If you don't want to go full on out with a red lipstick, use a red lip stain or a tinted balm for a more subtle sweet look!

• If you are Asian - go for a glossy peach lipgloss or something with a coral tint! Middle eastern? Nude colours will look amazing on you,it will give a gorgeous contrast! Native Americans, you will have a more warm tone,so a copper tone will look beautiful. If you are Indian, orange looks lovely, as well as pinks and reds:) 

As it's half term and I have so much free time, I took the liberty this afternoon to do some baking! We didn't have any eggs in which was a disappointment as I was hoping to make cake of some sort, or cookies, but I happened to find a recipe which didn't require eggs at all! And that is almond cookies, a kind of shortbread biscuit which sounded very nice! 






RECIPE

Ingredients: 75g icing sugar, plus extra for dusting
250g plain flour
75g ground almonds
a good pinch of fine sea salt
125g butter, softened 

1) Sift icing sugar, flour into a bowl and stir in the ground almonds and salt. Add the butter and rub of it into the dry ingredients with your fingertips,it will take a good while but keep mixing the ingredients until it begins to form a dough! (Similar to a shortbread mixture)

2)Preheat the oven to 180c/Fan 160c/Gas 4. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. As soon as the dough starts to form, push it together to make a flattened ball and place between two sheets of baking paper, (It will be very crumbly, so you might need to press it together- be careful!) Press the dough down gently with a rolling pin until it is about 2cm thick. 

3)Use a cookie cutter whatever size, preferably round, and then put them onto the lined baking tray. Then bring the remaining mixture together and repeat the process until no mixture is left! 

4)Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes or until firm and starting to turn golden (they should look pale so don't brown too much)! 

Cool on the tray, then using a sieve dust the icing sugar on top! Voila! ^.^ ~ you can add your own toppings, I was close to sandwhiching too in nutella but I resisted;) 
 

Wanted to make a small post on what I did this weekend! I didn't see my boyfriend on the Friday, we decided to meet on Saturday-Sunday instead, { because seeing your partner on Valentine's day is too mainstream;) }

Instead, on Friday, me and a few friends(Lucy,Josie,Ellie,Freya) decided to stay in, watch some films, (Chalet girl and Mamma Mia!) we ordered some takeaway, which was rather amusing, we originally wanted to get a Chinese, but because of the UK's beautiful weather at the moment, they couldn't deliver, so we tried another one, yet they didn't even pick up the phone. Then we tried Dominoes pizza, but the lady on the phone {I kid you not} was ridiculous, and couldn't hear anything we were saying, then said they wouldn't deliver to where we were... after about an hour and a half, we phoned again, as my friends Mum said she'd drive to get it, so we ended up doing that! Although it was a long wait, it was well worth it! 2 pizzas, potato wedges,dough balls, garlic bread,chicken strips....nommable!

After that me, Lucy and Josie walked back to Josie's (only a few houses down) as it was late and we were sleeping at hers, and we had some tea and sat up for a bit watching a bit of Tangled and just gossiping! (We kind of gossiped until 5am...)

*sighs guiltily*

It was so fun though! It reminded me of the kind of sleepovers I had when I was really young and staying up till the early hours of the morning made you super cool ^.^

Although it wasn't so super cool as only 5 hours later I'd be meeting up with my boyfriend (Sam) and I would probably end up falling asleep just walking to his!

For Valentines he got me this adorable toy pug! (I'm obsessed with pugs, just so you know) and it's so fluffy and ahhh! He also got me a chocolate rose- I brought him a little teddy and a bouquet of chupa chup lollipops (he's become really protective of his lolly's- which is rather amusing)

The next day/the same morning (whoops) Me and Sam went into town and had an Iced Mocha from Costa and got some pasties from Rowes, we messed about in a few shops (trying all the sofas out in M&S) *reminded me of in 500 days of Summer* then after that, we went back to his and generally snuggled up, me being super tired! We watched Splash the final and Take Me Out, then went to bed! Pretty average evening, nothing special for other people to read, but at the same time,for me, really special! ^.^

So that's basically my weekend quickly for you! Hope you enjoyed reading! I've attached a few photos that I took down below too, thankyou! Chloe x

Wanted to make a post on eye colours/skin tones and what eye shadows I think will compliment them the most! It's hard to choose the right eyeshadow sometimes, even if you safely stick to one, I think its good to be brave as well and step outside the comfort zone,choosing something completely different, as long as you don't end up looking like a clown, or someone with a sore eye! 

BROWN EYES? 

Most eye shadows luckily suit a lot of brown eyes, but however your skin tone will effect as eyeshadow will look different on say someone with very tan skin, compared to someone with very pale skin. Personally, I think for brown eyes, plums and purples look really beautiful, as long as dark circles are well covered, as it could bring out the circles worse. My favourite colour on brown eyes are emerald greens and navy blues, even only if you're adding a touch of it to the top or bottom lash line to open up the eye, a bright earthy colour will always make a dark eye stand out, and will make the whites of your eyes brighter.

I think SMOKEY EYES are great on people with brown eyes, whether it's a soft smokey eye, or heavy, it can look very sultry or romantic and really blends in well with the softness of the brown colour within the eye, whereas if you have blue eyes and a smokey eye- the look is a lot more sharp and pristine looking, equally as beautiful, but I don't think it has the same softness as the colour contrast is a lot more obvious:) 

Other colours that I think compliment brown eyes: coppers,rusty brown/reds, golds, green golds, rose golds, champagne (for the inner half of the eye to brighten), dark cherry colours(cerise), dark pinks and light pinks (perfect for a date/valentines).

BLUE EYES?

For blue eyes, usually rich browns, taupes, soft orangey peachy colours and dark greys really create a beautiful contrast between the blue flecks and the eye shadow. Some shades of green can look unflattering and blue on blue ( usually using a blue similar to your eye colour ) I think can be a bit distracting and won't compliment as well. It can detract from your natural colour, however using the colour in the outer corner of the eyes like a dark blue, can bring a nice intensity and will highlight a lighter blue eye colour.

I think,for blue eyes, covering the eye in a champayne/light gold colour then going in the inner corners and crease with a darker bronze colour and blending adds a very pretty girly, yet could be formal look to the eye. And if you use a dark brown eyeliner on the top lashline to make your lashes look thicker instead of eyeliner to finish, it is a lot more natural:) 

Colours that compliment: Gold, bronze, copper, champagne, yellow-beige, peach

GREEN AND HAZEL?

For green and hazel eyes, I think the best colours to use are golden honey browns, warm taupes, purples ( mainly deep ) pinky and rose golds, and soft violets. It brings a really nice contrast to the eye and compliments the iris colour. For Hazel, look for the flecks of natural colour in your pupils, a grape/wine purple will bring out the greens, and help the eye pop.

For green and hazel eyes (I envy you, I would love green eyes!) I think as long as you stick so lighter colours for a day to day basis and darkening the creases and creating smokey eyes using darker browns in the evening, you can achieve a lot of beautiful looks for green and hazel eyes! I also think a little catflick with black glossy eyeliner creates such a cute contrast between the iris and the eyelid! 

Colours that compliment: Grape/wine purples, rose golds, pink golds, taupes, browns,soft violets.
