DIY bracelets

Hey lovelies!
When i was in town the other day i went into a craft store (Raphael Craft) and saw some really nice things so i thought it was a great opportunity to make my own jewelry. I went to make earrings but then decided to start with something simpler, bracelets. They're really simple to make and don't take too long plus they're really inexpensive!
All you need is what you're making your bracelet from. For me: chain, 9 charms, clasps and rings then a pair of tweezers.


I purchased 9 charms, clasps, rings and a chain. From this
i made 2 bracelets as i had a generous amount of chain.

step one: Take the chain and measure out how long you need it
to fit around your wrist then unhook the loop at the end of
the amount of chain that you need with tweezers.
Step 2: Attach the clasp to the open loop on the chain then
close it using your tweezers 
Step 3: Take one of your rings and open it up.
Step 4: Attach a charm to the ring, leaving the ring still open.
Step 5: Then attach the right to the chain then close it so that
it won't come off the chain. Repeat this until you have attached
all your charms to the chain.
Finished bracelets.

June favourites

Topshop nail polish in the colour 'eclipse'
I love this colour, it's a metallic green but has golden shimmery undertones which
is rather interesting. Plus it lasts for a week or so and doesn't chip easily,
for me this is a plus since usually mine chip within the first few days.

Collection cream puff in the shade cotton candy.
I'm loving this lip product so much recently for everyday use. It's a lovely
shade of pink, it looks quite natural on and has a matt finish to it.
The applicator makes it easy to apply.

Mac  amplified creme lipstick in the shade 'craving'
I brought this only a week ago but i'm already in love with it!
It's a gorgeous plum shade yet it's quite pinky. It's creamy,
comfortable on the lips, opaque and is really long lasting. I think
it is really worth the price and i'll defiantly buy another mac
product in the future.

Looking for Alaska
After reading The fault in our stars i instantly wanted to read
another John Green book and after hearing many good reviews
about Looking for Alaska i went and purchased it. I loved this
book and it really gets you thinking even after you've turned the last
page, it's one of the books that you can't put down. I read it in
under 24 hours which is quick for me but it's a breath-taking book
and i'd defiantly recommend it to anyone.

The Audrey Hepburn Collection (Paris when it sizzles)
Now i love films with Audrey Hepburn in so when i realized
i hadn't seen Paris when it sizzles i took it from my mum's
collection of Audrey Hepburn films. It wasn't a disappointment,
i loved it so much and i liked the way how you could see the
growth of the two main characters as the film went on and
at the same time their relationship as they began from basically
strangers. It's interesting how it's both a comedy and a romance
film at the same time but it's pulled off well.

The rocky horror picture show 40th anniversary
After watching the film version of The rocky horror picture show
so many times when i saw it was coming to my local theatre i took
the opportunity to see it live. It was the best musical that i've ever seen.
I loved how the audience got involved and the WHOLE theatre danced to
the time warp. Personally i think that the acting and singing was amazing and
the whole atmosphere was just overwhelming and everyone was enjoying themselves.

An apology and a review




Hey lovelies! Sorry for the lack of posts recently, i've found myself busy with returning back to sixth form and getting everything ready for my college interview. So recently i went through all my "old" makeup from a few years ago and stumbled across this benefit rush hour lipstick, i forgot i even owned this but i've been trying to wear it lately. It's a lovely purple-red and it's really pigmented and bright, i love this colour for a more dressy look so when i went to see Rocky Horror Picture Show at the theatre i thought it'd be a great opportunity to wear it especially since i didn't have anything clothing to really dress up; other than fishnets of course so i thought i'd try my makeup to be more rocky horror like with this lipstick and also a more smokey dramatic eye look to suit the occasion more. I love this product to pieces as it really adds a pop of colour to the look, it also stays on for a long time which is ideal when you're going out. I'm so glad i found this lipstick but unfortunately it's been discontinued which is a shame.
