Hey guys!

So I'm starting a journey to change my life. I have been struggling with loosing weight for the past three years. Every thing was just an effort, which i wasn't motivated to put in. It became a effort to just get out off bed and do daily things which normal people do. The mirror was my worst enemy, along with my conscious putting me down everyday. Although i might off seemed it, i was just not happy. Weighing in at almost 12 stone on the scale was the lowest point for me. It may not seem allot but i am only 5'3 so i am considered over weight. I decided be gone with the phrase 'i'll start tomorrow' and began this very second, because I'm living in the NOW!

So on

Tuesday the 12th of March 2013

I decided enough was enough. I was fed up of wallowing in self pitty, making up excuses for myself and letting myself down. I thought id just run through what I'm doing to keep myself motivated and to shred some pounds with you guys to hopefully help someone out there who was in the same position i was!

The first thing i did, was change my desktop background. Now this may seem like an odd thing to do but i am constantly on my computer, even if I'm not doing anything, i will sit at my computer and listen to music. So i changed my background to reasons why i want to loose weight, and motivational statements, just as a reminder why I'm doing this for those down days!

Today i started Jillian Michael's 30 day shred work out DVD. I'm hoping to stick to it to the best off my ability. It should be easy to fit into my day because its only a 20 minute work out. It has three stages, one being the easiest and three being the hardest. You can work through them on your own pace, but within the 30 days.I plan to do:

10 days level 1

10 days level 2

and 10 days of level 3

I've started level one and I'm already feeling it! Exercise really makes you feel good. Although i know I'm going to be in pain in the morning, I'm not to bothered. Only because i know its a step further up the ladder and to a better life! Level one consists off cardio, strength and ab work outs, and really gets your heart going! I've enjoyed the first day even though I'm pooped! [tired]

Chicken salad with a mixed berry and mango smoothie.

Now you can't expect to loose weight without changing your diet. Its a known fact that crap, makes you look and feel like crap! So I'm cutting out the fizzy drinks and switching to water! Now by water i mean bottled water, tea, squash [no added sugar], coffee, anything that contains pure water. I also decided smoothies would be a good idea. They get part off your five a day in, and i also add 0% fat Greek yogurt to make sure its healthy!

I hope to keep to my goals and get through this. This is a change in lifestyle, not just a quick fix but i am determined not to fail.I shall keep you posted on my weight loss!

Happy reading

Hey guys!

There are so many products from mac i have wanted over the years, but these are the ones i wish i have! Unfortunately my bank balance will not allow me to buy them! Being a student can suck sometimes, but at least i have you guys to vent to! A lot off youtuber's rant and rave about these products and over time i have gained the urge to try these products!Here's a basic run down..

Mineralized skin finish in soft and gentle;

This is the palest out of the skin finishes. It works as a subtle highlight for pale skin and leaves a lovely glowing complexion. It has a pinkie tone to perk up your cheeks and make them look higher. It will leave your skin looking radiant - but not like a disco ball!

Studio fix fluid in NC15;

This is a matte finish foundation with medium and buildable coverage. I'm very much a flawless finish lover! and i have a lot of freckles on my skin, covering them is hard! So I'm in need off a full coverage foundation without a shiny residue. I think this might be a saviour for me!

Pro long wear concealer in NC15

This like the fix fluid foundation is a medium to full coverage, matte concealer. It is supposed to be long wearing lasting up to 15 hours, which i would like to test out! Its to help discolouration such as under eye circles, redness etc. I also really like the packaging off this, it has a nice pump dispenser.

Lipsticks

Chatterbox - Amplified creme

Saint Germain - Amplified creme

Impassioned - Amplified creme

Amplified Creme lipsticks are designed to be moisturising, long lasting and full coverage lipsticks. Unlike the amplified lipsticks they have a creamier consistency making them a lot easier to apply and softer to the lips. Their staying power means it could create a flattering stain on your lips. They may still have a light sheen but they will not be glossy.

Candy yum yum - Matte

Party Parrot - Matte

Obviously the finish off these lipsticks would be matte, meaning there is no shine to your lips making it a more subtle pop off colour. These lipsticks tend to be very drying to the lips so i always suggest applying a lip balm or moisturiser to keep it lasting throughout the day. I like to dab the lipstick into the centre off my lips and blend with my finger, it helps make the lipstick smooth and means your not caking on product, which can happen with matte lipsticks.

Viva glam Nicki - satin

Rebel - satin

As you can imagine a satin finish would have a gloss like look to it. These are for the people who do not like high gloss or matte look, its a nice in between. These are usually easy to apply with nice colour pay off. I believe they are a sheerer lipstick, but buildable to create your desired look.

Goes and Goes - pro long wear lip creme

This is related to the pro long wear line, which are supposed to last up to 15 hours. I imagine they would be similar to the amplified creme formula.

Fix +

This is designed to finish off your whole look. It sets your make-up and blends all powders together, making them sink into the skin. Preventing the 'cake face' affect ,and leaving a flawless finish.

Creme blend blush in So sweet, So easy

cream blushes are light and soft, used with a stippling brush can create a nice flush off colour to the cheeks and can be built to your personal preference. I want this certain colour because its natural, but more of a redish pink shade, it would really bring life to a neutral look and brighten your completion subtly.

So these are my picks! what are yours?!
