Morning Make Up – Fuchsia Fun

A new segment I’m trying out where in I show my morning make up routine for various days and chat about what I’m doing that day. Not really a tutorial, more of a random girly chat while we get ready together in the bathroom 😉

Today’s style features some nice bright pink! .

Morning Make Up – Fuchsia Fun Instructions

Welcome to another edition of Morning Make up in which I do my make out and we chat!
Today is a nice bright fuchsia which is still wearable!
Morning! I’m so excited because we just got approval from our landlord to get a dog!
unfortunately I still have to cover up this cut.
To cover pimples, cuts or anything else i use a dot of moisturiser to soften it up first.
Then some primer to hold the foundation on.
Then BB cream all over.
I’ve been waiting almost 10 years to get a dog, I’m beyond excited at the moment.
I pat some on my dark circles and the cut and leave it to dry for a few seconds.
Once it’s mostly dry, I pat again to blend it in.
This gives a really even finish and good coverage.
Mascara next!
I’m not sure which breed we will end up with as we’re going to rescue our dog from a shelter.
Champagne shimmer on the inner 2/3rds of the lid.
Something small and fluffy though!
White shimmer in the center of the lid concentrating around the lash line.
You guys are going to get so sick of all of the videos and photos I’m going to post.
There will be nothing but puppy spam for weeks!
Now the fuchsia!
I placed it in a rough pointed “C” shape on the outer corners.
We’ve been preparing the house since I got word from the realestate agent so now I just need to save up a little more money to have everything covered.
I want to be safe just in case we have unexpected vet bills or things like that.
And of course we have to get it some cute toys!
Time to blend it all together with a fluffy brush.
James is really excited too.
He always had dogs growing up but I haven’t had one since I was 7.
Next was eyeliner.
I used a fairly thin line with a wing so it didn’t cover the white.
My old dog was a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Bernard.
He was really cute.
Lash time! these are just some natural length criss cross lashes.
He was very cute but not very smart.
Bergamot joined in my “waiting for lashes to dry” dance today.
And now some finishing powder to hold everything in place.
I can’t wait to visit some of the shelters.
I used a dark pink shimmer lipstick.
I have to think of some names too!
What are your suggestions for a small fluffy dog?
And a very shiny orange toned lipgloss.
Lastly a litte more white shimmer as a highlighter because I forgot before!
All done and covered!
I hope this was a useful video, please check the blog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.
Thanks so much for watching.
Oh my god, puppy!
Bye!

Garnier Thermo Active Sleek And Shine Spray Review

Garnier Thermo Active Sleek And Shine Spray

Obtained: Gift Bag

Thoughts:

I love the signature smell of Garnier products, they are so fruity and so delicious! I think the problem I have is that I keep buying them because of the delicious smell but a lot of the time they don’t really do much for my hair. I have friends that get great results but it just doesn’t seem to work with my hair type unfortunately. This is another one of those products, it’s supposedly strong hold though only a 2 on their scale and it did pretty much nothing for my hair. It is supposed to have anti-frizz protection and make hair more manageable, I really didn’t notice any particular differences. That said it smells awesome and so I continue to use it haha! Rather than as an actual styling agent I use it now just for it’s heat protecting properties. Yummy smelling heat protector? That’s good enough for me.

Would I buy Garnier Thermo Active Sleek And Shine Spray again: Probably not because as nice as it smells I would rather a product that can do double duty to heat protect as well as make my hair easier to style.

How To Make Bergmot Bunny Ears!

To celebrate all of the fun things going on here recently and my return to regular every day blogging (yes actually this time!) I thought it was high time that I gave you all a Bergamot themed craft: Bergamot Bunny ears!

While you can’t buy a Bergamot Bunny yet, you can make your own ears!

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial784

You need:

  • Cute coloured headband
  • White fabric (polar fleece is good)
  • Pink fabric (polar fleece is good)
  • Lace
  • Cardboard
  • Glue gun
  • Needle. thread, scissors

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial638

Start by drawing an ear shape on the cardboard. It should be very round and a bit fatter at the ends. Draw a little rectangle tab on the bottom too.

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial639

Cut them out and you should have something like this!

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial640

Cut out a rectangle of fabric which is big enough to cover the ear when it’s folded in half:

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial641

Trim it down so when folded in half it forms a case for the ear.

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial642

Stitch it shut around the outside leaving the hole at the bottom and flip it inside out.

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial643

Slip the cardboard inside.

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial645

Once you repeat for the other ones it should look something like this:

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial647

Now cut some pink hearts and stitch them on here:

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial649

Next fold the cardboard on the bottom ends so they form tabs.

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial650

These cardboard tabs will hold the ears up straight.

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial651

Now glue the cardboard tabs to the bottom side of your headband. Make sure you place them off to one side so they look just like Bergamot.

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial652

Glue the ends of the fabric around the bottom over the cardboard so it covers it all.

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial657

If you want to you can place a piece of felt over the top to make it even neater.

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial656

Taadaa 😀

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial659

Now the finishing touches, make a little lace bow. This is Bergamot’s favorite kind of lace.

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial660

And glue it to the base.

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial661

Now you have some adorable Bergamot ears so go wear them out somewhere!

Bergamot-Bunny-Ears-Tutorial769

Let me know if you guys try it out!
