My Favourite Youtubers and Why!

Nowadays  I think every girl has watched at least 20 thousand beauty youtube videos. Today I’m going to tell you my favourite youtubers and why I love them!

Okay first off, you need to find a beauty guru who has your skin type. For the longest time I just watched youtubers who had oily skin and really, that didn’t help me at all and just wasted my time. Now, I have some dry skin youtuber favourites! 🙂 Here are my favourite girls (in no particular order!)

Number 1: MissJenFABULOUS Okay so I honestly only watch her nail videos but I love her nail tutorials. They are so informative, creative, and helpful. Go check out her newest video on Easter nail art!

Number 2: TheMakeupChair is an amazing, amazing, amazing youtube beauty guru! She is a makeup artist who is very knowledgeable and although she has dry skin, she talks about products for all skin types.

Number 3: MacBarbie07 I’m sure that you all know Bethany and her fun, happy, and charming personality she brings into her videos. They put me in a better mood and are also put together quite nicely. Bethany is someone that you can’t go wrong with and she’s super sweet!

Number 4: AllThatGlitters21 I love Elle! She’s so sweet and her room is so elegant and gorgeous! Elle has the cutest white cat and I swear, Elle is as pure as Pinecone’s fur. Elle also has dry skin which is a total plus however she doesn’t normally shop at drugstores like I do because I have a very low budget!

Number 5: Blogilates Last but not least we have to throw in some fitness videos! Cassey has a big personality that makes you want to keep doing those squats even if you’re dying . I love when she gets off topic and starts talking about random things because it makes me forget that I feel like I’m dying!

Colour blocking Tips!

So I know that this trend has been around for awhile now however I’m sure some of you are a little lost when it comes to colour! Here are my tips that I’ve learnt on colour blocking!

What is colour blocking? To colour block just means simply pairing contrasting colours against each other in one outfit!

“The rule of 2/3’s:” If you’re looking at a colour wheel and you take 3 colours (two side by side and one across,) connect them to create a triangle. This goes for any colour in the colour wheel but an example could be yellow, orange, and violet! I recommend keeping some neutrals in this outfit.

Try not to wear more than 3 bright colours at once.

If you are wearing a bright top and a bright bottom then keep accessories neutral (leopard print counts as a neutral!)

Incorporate neutrals. Include a neutral purse of shoe to bring everything together.

• Patterns: They can look great however be cautious because it could turn out messy looking.

Colour combinations: Complementary colours are two colours on opposite sides of the colour wheel that when put together in an outfit make each other appear brighter. They always work together when colour blocking. The complementary colour of a primary colour is the colour you get when you mix the other two primary colours together. Here’s an example if you’re completely lost: red and blue (primary colours) create purple (complementary colour) when mixed together so yellows complementary colour is purple.

Don’t be blind to tones: Try not to mix warm and cool tones together but remember, there are always exceptions.

Just starting out?

You can’t go wrong with colours in the same family or just adding pops of colour with your accessories. 

Good luck! Love you girls 🙂

All About Legging Laws!

Who owns a pair of leggings? I’m guessing that about 99% of the people who are reading this are saying “Me!” The fact is, leggings have become a staple in the average girls closet and I can completely see why. They are comfortable, you can dress them up or down, there are so many options, and they let you show off the legs you run for everyday. At some point I’m sure that you’ve heard some “rules” about leggings, whether you follow them or not though is truly up to you. Here’s my take on the subject!

First off, invest in a good quality pair of leggings! They will be worth it in the long run because they won’t start getting see-through at the knees or thighs! Then decide what you’re wearing them for that day. If you will be using them for working out then it’s okay to not be religious with the every day rules however if you’re wearing them on a normal day then I suggest wearing a tunic length top with them. I am definitely not perfect and I have worn a shorter top with them and thoroughly regretted it (mostly because I don’t love my thighs!) A good choice for shoes would be boots! I prefer taller boots with leggings personally, but go with whatever you feel works best with your body. Lastly, have fun on top! Wear patters, colours, jewellery, makeup, and do your hair in your favourite up-do! Love you girls ❤ Any requests?
