review - NYC all day long smooth skin foundation.

Ok so...
about 3 weeks ago I bought the NYC foundation and my plan was to a first impression video but I forgot :( and because I've had it a few weeks and used it pretty much every day there's no point in doing a first impressions so instead I'm going to do a review!
 
So overall this foundation is AMAZING!  I love it and for only £2.50 it was a barging!  I bought it in Superdrug when the NYC make up was on offer and it's just perfect!  It is the perfect shade as well, which is a big thing for me because I have freckles but my skin colour is really light so I can't get shades which are too light or shades that are too dark, so this is the perfect shade!  It has good coverage and lasts all day and also blends really well with my concealer!  It's just perfect and I would recommend anybody to get it, I think there's around 6 or 7 shades but I got it in shade Classic Ivory.


 
 
I hope you liked this blog post!

Favourite Quotes!

I was supposed to upload this yesterday but I completely forgot!  Sorry :(
 
 I have decided to share my favourite quotes with you! This isn't in order but these are my favourite quotes :
* “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” - Dr Seuss
* “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” - Oscar Wilde
* “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.” - Bernard M Baruch
* “You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” - Dr Seuss 
* “In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.” - Robert Frost 
* “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” - Marilyn Monroe
* “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” -  Ralph Waldo Emerson
* “If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.” - A.A. Milne (Winnie-the-Pooh)
* "If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart and I'll stay there forever" - A.A Mine (Winnie-the-pooh)
 
so they are just a few of my favourite quotes but my all time favourite quotes are Peter Pan quotes, here are a few of my favourites:
 
* “To die would be an awfully big adventure.”
* “All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust.”
 * “Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting.”  
* “Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.”
 * "Second to the right, and then straight on till morning"

Liebster award 3!!!

Ok so...
I've been nominated again!  This time I was nominated by Miss student style, Thank you! xx
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ok so the questions I got were:
 
1) What made you start your blog?
I have answered this question so many times so I'm just going to copy and paste my answer from my other blog post  'I just wanted somewhere I could go and write stuff and just be myself! none of my family members or friends have ever read my blog, they know about it but I won't let them see it, this is because I wanted something that could just be mine and I wouldn't have to share it with people that didn't truly understand me, and I'm a really Awkward person as well so it would be just awful,  like you don't even know...'


 2) What sort of posts interest you the most?
What's in my bag and what I got for... posts because I'm a really nosy person so I just like seeing things that other people have got!

 3) If you had to live off one food what would it be?
Chicken Nuggets, when I went on holiday in the summer I had them everyday for 2 weeks!!! :)

 4) Make up product you can't live without and why?
Mascara, I wear it all the time because my eyelashes are so small!

 5) Who inspires you the most?
Joey Essex, he's been through so much to get to where he is and he's worked so hard for it, he's dealt with everything life throws at him and I respect and look up to him for that!

 6) What would your dream wardrobe consist of?
Lots of fur coats!  I saw one in Debenhams the other week and ever since then I have been begging m mum to buy me one! Also lots of jumpers and shoes (vans)

 7) If you could be anyone for the day who would it be?
I would either be a you tuber, IGGY, Joey Essex or Brad Simpson

 8) What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given?
it'll all be okay in the end and don't  care what people think, you're going to get judged anyway!

 9) Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter and why?
Winter, I can't be dealing with the sun in the summer, I think I'm like half vampire or something, I wouldn't chose autumn because I hate leaves, spring is just boring!  I would defo say winter because I love hot chocolate and wearing big oversized jumpers and ugg boots and just the feeling right before Christmas!

 10) If you could create a perfume what would be its title?
it'd probably be something strange like 'Queen Bee' or something and smell of honey :)
 
so I know this is cheating but I don't know any blogs that haven't already been nominated for the Liebster award so I'm just going to re nominate the people I nominated last time because I don't think anyone actually did it so  my nominations and questions are:

8) who is your celebrity crush?
9) why did you create a blog?

Blogger bestfriend?

 
 
Ok so...
I've been blogging for around a month and a half and I am so close to 200 followers!  All I really want is a blogger best friend, we could do blogging co1labs/ tags, talk about fashion and make up, tell each other how we could improve our blogs etc... so here is my description of the type of blogger that I'm looking for...
 
I'm looking for someone who blogs about the same sort of things that I blog about, like makeup, fashion and anything that is going on in their life. I would prefer them to be around my age so like 13-17 years old, I think I would just find it easier to talk to them.  I would like it if they had the same amount of followers as me, it would feel weird if they had like 200 more followers than me...  But the most important thing that I want in a blogger best friend is for them to listen and just be there, just like I would be with them!
 
If you are interested in becoming my blogger best friend either comment on this blog post, send me a DM me on Instagram (http://instagram.com/_imcalledshannon_) or email me (Shannon.plant@hotmail.co.uk)
 
Thanks for reading

MUA lipsticks!

Ok so...
Today I'm going to do a review sort of blog post about my MUA lipsticks, at the moment I only have 4 because I used some up and I am planning on getting more when they get back in stock at my local Superdrug, but here are the 4 that I have...
 
1) MUA professional London lipstick in shade 4. 
I love this lipstick because it's quite light and natural looking so I can wear it for school, work or just when I want to look like I'm not wearing a lot of make up.  It's long lasting and it was only £1, one other thing I LOVE about MUA lipsticks, is the bottoms because the bottom of the lipsticks can screw off and there is a little bit of lipstick in the tub, it's amazing.
 
 
 

 2) My second lipstick is the MUA professional London lipstick in shade 12, this is my favourite MUA lipstick EVER!!!  I love this lipstick and I wear it all the time, it's like a bright pink with glitter in it.  It's more of a summer lipstick but I'm sure that I can work with it for the winter too!
 
 
 
 
 
3) The third MUA lipstick I own is the makeup academy lipstick in shade 3.  I have only used this once because it is really bright so it is only really wearable when I go out to parties so I have only used it once but the colour is amazing and I love it!
 
 
 
 
 
4) the final MUA lipstick I have is a matte lipstick, this is the only matte lipstick I have and it is amazing, I wear it all the time and it is the makeup academy matte lipstick in shade 'pouty pink'.  It's not very long lasting but it is matte and it is a really nice colour!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I hope you liked this blog post.

Sunday style.

Ok so...
As most of you know, well those people who read my blog know I work in a charity shop!  Obviously I have to look nice because I am dealing with customers and the public so I just though that I'd share what I would normally wear on a Sunday to work.
 
Firstly I'm going to tell you about the make up that I wear.
 
 
I use NYC all day long smooth skin foundation in shade 737 Classic ivory, I like using this because it lasts all day, It applies really nicely!
 
 
I then use my 2true 3 in 1 concealer in shade 2.
 
As a powder to give my foundation a matte finish I use the collections pressed powder in shade 01 candlelight, and I know that this is going to sound really strange but one of may favourite things about this powder is the smell of it, the main reason for this is that when I was little my mum had the number 7 pressed powder and it smelt amazing, so it just reminds me of that!
 
 
 
I then use my number 7 matte blush in soft damson.
 
 
 
Then I do my eye make up, I use my NYC individual eyes palette in shade 941 Smokey browns.  I use this to create the Smokey eye effect.
 
 
 
For Mascara I use 2, I use the Avon super enchant mascara in shade black and I use the MUA lash boom volume and length in shade black/brown.  Now before anyone says anything I know that Black and brown aren't technically shades but that's just the Colour.  I use two mascaras because I like my lashes being extra longgg...
 
 
 
 
After I have done my eye make up I put on my lipstick, I use the MUA lipstick in shade 4.  I only use I light shade for work because I don't want to be too made up, I want a more natural look.
 
 
 
 
 
Just in case anyone was wondering the brushes I use are all from Wilkos, and they are from the new range.  I use the blush brush, the retractable Kabuki brush, the eye shadow brush and the Smokey eye duo brush.
 
 
 
The perfume i use is the Nicki Minaj perfume, I don't know which one it is but it smells amazing.
 
 
 
I don't have to wear a uniform but I do have to look presentable, the T.shirts I normally wear are Henry Holland T-shirts, and they are amazing so I would normally wear one like this which I got from Debenhams:
 
 
 
I normally just wear my jeans and a bright coloured belt. I bought the jeans from New Look and I cant remember where i bought the belt from...
 
 
 
I then put on my jacket, If it is the winter I wear my super dry coat but in the summer I just wear this thin bomber jacket that I got from Debenhams which is also Henry Holland.
 
 
 
Ok so then I put my shoes on and I have 2 types of shoes that I wear depending on the weather, if it is nice I will wear my £3 Primark shoes and if it is raining or it isn't as nice I wear my Nike blazers or my vans or converse etc...
 
 
 
Ok so I forgot to take pictures of what I was wearing but I did take my make up pictures and here they are...
 
 
 
 
 
I hope you like this blog post!
