RACISM

for those who cannot come up with witty insults

Well you don't expect for me to wear my heart on my sleeve

Some people like moving around, living in homes temporarily calculating it's stock value whether it will increase or decrease in worth, creating luxurious designer homes only to move onto another shortly after and starting from scratch over again.

I prefer to find somewhere I feel comfortable, where I want to settle and spread my roots as deep as the foundations, that is what I call home.

homes are for living.

nothing like a needle in a haystack;

Love, it's a lot like a stereotypes, it's been manipulated and moulded by the media to become this awe of something seen through rose tinted glass:

Love [luhv]
noun, verb, loved, lov·ing.
to have love or affection for: All her pupils love her.
to have a profoundly tender, passionate affection for (another person).
to have a strong liking for; take great pleasure in: to love music.
to need or require; benefit greatly from: Plants love sunlight.
to embrace and kiss (someone), as a lover.
to have sexual intercourse with.

This emotion has no flaws, it's like a drug that everyone's addicted to.... but you're all wrong. You could spend a lifetime searching for this 'love' when it could be staring you in the face without realising. Spend less time searching for what you don't know and begin appreciating what you do.

True love, is flawed.

It's looking past these flaws and accepting someone through not only their best but seeing them at their best whilst they're at their worst; you don't love someone from when you meet them but it develops as you get to know them & becomes deeper the more you go through life with them. I suppose what I'm trying to express is that people should stop being fixated on finding mr/mrs perfect and look more towards mr/mrs right, they may well be the mr/mrs perfect afterall

More home cooking

are you drooling?

Counting my pennies

Sleek Contour Kit - currently loving, I figured I should use contour powder to contour as opposed to Bronzer, this starts off looking muddy when applied to skin but it blends out so well, I've barely used the highlighter as I use the E.L.F one from my concealer stick

Stud earrings from Topshop and Forever 21 x

Gift from my friend who went to France, this little thing is a GEM; aside from being purely amazing by having references to Pantone, but this it a handy hook for your bags:

Naked little elves

Hitting pan on a few of my E.L.F items;
Studio Warm Bronzer
Very similar to my Ping Pong bronzer, however with the option to break up the brick with highlight, and blush options should you wish to. Not for those who don't enjoy too much shimmer; I tend to use this largely for contouring purposes only - see my new haul for new contour kit that's matt! I'll leave you with a fail swatch:

Studio Complexion Perfection
I used this as a finish powder as opposed to a concealing powder as I found it worked better after applying a base / foundation, the colour however didn't work too well and I haven't seen it make a dramatic change to my skin in terms of evening out the colour.

Studio Lip Stain Birthday Suit
A beautiful pale pink colour that's wearable day to day, it is drying on the lips and I don't recommend applying to dry cracking lips, apply after some lip balm, and pat on some gloss after dried; the product will wipe off on swiping motions and does not last a long time, however the colour is amazing - I've already repurchased this one!

Studio Concealer & Highlighter
For the price, by far the best under eye concealer I've used yet in terms of the adapting colour, smooth application and ease of blending, as for the highlighter comparable to Benefit's Highbeam
