A Different Way To Blog

Hello lovely people of the internet, I hope everyone's doing fine. 
I'm sure many of you are familiar with the website Tumblr. I know it's also a blogging platform, but I feel it's so dissimilar to Blogger. I associate Tumblr more with images, while Blogger's much more about sharing in writing. I've been using Tumblr forever but when I knew I wanted to create my own content it wasn't the right place for it.

Obviously I'm still on Tumblr all the time, I find it brilliant for inspiration, connecting with people and learning a whole lot. Recently I sort of changed up the style and theme of my blog and I'm pretty happy with it now. I've included a heap of screen caps from my blog recently.

If anyone reading has a Tumblr at the moment and you like what you see, feel free to follow me here (yes this is a shameless plug for myself). If you do, send me a message on there that you came from this post and I'll definitely follow you as well.

Also please do let me know your opinions of Tumblr, or any other websites you use to blog, connect, or for inspiration.

Top Ten Tag

I was tagged by the lovely Patricia to do this tag so thankyou very much! Here's my top ten list of beauty products right now.

1. Foundation
I am still completely in love with the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation, I haven't used anything else since I got it and I've repurchased already so I probably won't be trying anything new soon.

2. Powder
Right now I'm using the Revlon Nearly Naked powder but it's almost out. It's really flawless and great for setting foundation and concealer.

3. Concealer
Recently, I started using the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer and it's so perfect for my under eye area as it's the perfect colour for correcting purple and bluish tones. It's also a great consistency and easy to use packaging.

4. Blush
I'm not a huge blush person, I'm always worried I'll end up with the clown look. Currently I use the Rimmel Lasting Finish soft colour blush in 170 Genuine Plum. It's not plum coloured as the name suggests but I do like it compared to brighter blushers.

5. Bronzer
I'm obsessed with Mac's Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Dark. It's got such a pretty glow and looks so natural. In summer I'll probably use it all over my face to create that sun-kissed look.

6. Highlighter
I use the Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle but I've stopped using it as often as I used to. I only really use it on a night out as i find it to shimmery for everyday use. But it's still so so beautiful.

7. Mascara
My absolute favourite is Le Volume De Chanel mascara, even though I try to limit it's use, because it's just too special to me. I raved about this in my first favourites post too. You'll never hear me say a bad thing about this mascara.

8. Eye Shadow
I cannot decide on just one. I love using a mix of any palettes I have so I can get the exact look I want. My favourite palette would be the Mac quad from my last favourites post. But my favourite single shadow colour is Strange from the Naked 3 Palette. I use it with nearly every look.

9. Brows
I don't use any brow pencils or anything on my eyebrows. They're pretty full already so I just take my Nude angled brush and a dark eyeshadow to fill them in a bit.

10. Lip Product
This is the toughest category. My favourite lipstick I own is Mac's Impassioned in the Amplified Creme finish. It's not an everyday look but definitely the one I wouldn't live without.

Hope you enjoyed, I tag:

Beauty Haul

I haven't posted any real beauty posts lately so apologies there, but heres a little haul of the beauty bits I've picked up recently.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Liquid Foundation 103 'True Ivory'

Yes, it's the same foundation I've been using all year, and no, I'm probably not going to change anytime soon. I really love this foundation, it's good quality and not expensive.

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder 003 'Peach Glow'

I used this powder a few years ago and forgot about it, but I've decided to try it again and I know a lot of people like it.

L'Oreal Color Riche Eye Colour Pencil 06 'Delicate Beige'

I hadn't really considered anything other than eyeshadow before, but I saw this and loved the metallic look. Also they were on special.

Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss No. 20 'Rossetto'

My first Kate Moss lipstick. I went for something bright because I'm so often buying simple, everyday colours. It has quite a purple tone to it in real life, more than this picture shows.

Mac Powder Blush Satin 'Fleur Power'

I finally picked up this blush that I've had my eye on for so long. Mac can sell me on anything, I'm obsessed with all the packaging of all their pots and this colour is just what I wanted. 

Mac Brush 116

On my wish-list post I had mentioned wanting the 129 brush, but after careful consideration in the Mac store I decided this was the brush for me. I managed to leave Mac relatively unscathed with these to items.

I love having fresh, new products to hold, but I also have the urge to try my new things straight away, so I never have untouched products for long.

 Let me know any new beauty products you've purchased recently, your thoughts on these ones, or if you want to see a review of any of these products.

2000 views

I've been thinking of this post for a while now but I've waited until I hit this milestone to write it. I've been running this blog for just over two months and I've had a huge amount of positive feedback. I don't want to ramble forever in this post so it's another short one. 

I hate to focus on the numbers but everyone does whether your blog is a hobby or a job. It's not why I have this blog but seeing the number of views go up each day makes me so happy. I'm hoping to put out some more beauty content, maybe some DIY if I'm any good at it, but if anyone has any suggestions for future posts feel free to pop em in the comments.

I am so extremely grateful for every view, comment and follower. You have no idea how happy I get (or maybe you do) when I see any sort of recognition for what I'm doing on here. So this is my little thank you, or just me expressing my gratitude to every one of you who reads this :)

So this post is something a bit different. I haven't really anything inspiring to say right here so I'll let this video speak for itself...

If you want, you can go ahead and watch all your favourite celebrities pouring ice on themselves and laughing, (I know they're still all doing a good thing btw) but if you only watch one ALS video please watch this one.
