10 Warning Signs You're Losing Your Party Girl Edge




I've recently been noticing that my nights out haven't been as crazy  as they once were. So I thought of a few things which I sometimes do on a night which just kills the vibe and decided to make a list of them all for you! They may not relate to everyones night but a think a few will catch you out. 


1. Bringing out a clutch bag.


There are some nights out where if something isn't physically attached to my body, i will loose it. Or you might prefer say "someone stole it" but you can't remember. These are the nights when a clutch bag is your worse nightmare, you have to hold that thing all night when you just wanna fist pump and show off your moves. The older you get the less crazy unmemorable nights you will have, so a clutch can show a sign that you're taking it easy tonight.




2. Chipped nails? Who cares no one will see them


Girl even if no one can see your nails in the darkness of the club, you need to have you style game up to the top on a night out. Chipped nails shows that you couldn't be bothered with your outfit or look for the night, when you used to spend at least 3 hours getting ready you now only spend 1....maximum.





3. Bringing spare flats


Being organised is a great thing when it comes to work and your life, but you're not heading out to camp! Bringing flats doesn't only weigh down your bag (especially if its a clutch) but also knowing they're in there will make you give up on your heels very quickly, and you'll be left lugging them around the dance floor complaining.




4. Planning what time to be home


When you start planning out when to end the fun on a night, you won't have much. You will constantly look at your phone and count down until you can get your cheesy chips. If you have something important to do the next day then maybe skip the night. What if when it comes time to leave suddenly something amazing happens? The best nights are the spontaneous ones. Maybe you'll get home or maybe you'll end up on the other side of the country, who knows?




5. Actually making it to work/uni the next day


It takes a lot of willpower to drag yourself out of bed after a night out especially if all you have to look forward to is a class. If you can make it up nice and early and attend your lectures without dozing off or having to run to the bathroom with your hand over your mouth, then you haven't partied to your hearts content and similar to the planning what time to get home, you clock watch.





6. Taking your makeup off before you sleep


Somehow I always make sure to drag a wet wipe over my face and get my makeup off and if I'm incapable, i make my boyfriend do it. You know what they say, each night you sleep with makeup you age a day! But if you've truly gone wild and let loose then cleaning your face is the last thing on your mind, being overtaken by food and sleep.





7. Stopping before being told to stop. 


No one likes a crazy drunk bitch throwing up all over the floor, but most of the time your friends see the signs before you get too gone and make you stop. But choosing to stop out of your own free will, thats a taking it easy. The perfect drunk equation is the tipsy + I can don't care attitude but not   throwing up and crying. 





8. Not taking a million selfies before


You know you look your best just before hitting the clubs, I mean you did just spend 3 hours getting ready and making your makeup look on point. Honestly where else can you get away with extremely dark and sparkly makeup? If you don't take selfies before a night out then you're seriously missing out.





9. Looking at a drinks list to order instead of just your usual vodka mixer


When you're in a club there is no time to be faffing around with cocktails, firstly you have to fight your way through the crowds to get to the bar and then scream your order at the bartender at least 3 times over the music. You want your order to been as simple and as strong as possible and you usually buy it in 2's so you don't have to go back to the bar for a while. 




10. Cleaning away your things before crashing out. 


My lowest of the low on a night out was when I returned home and  loaded the dishwasher, how I didn't smash anything I have no idea. But any type of cleaning or do anything but eating and sleeping when you get home is a MAJOR warning sign you're loosing your inner crazy party girl! 




But don't worry girls, you can redeem your inner wild child days again and just let your hair down and go crazy. xx

50 Shades Of Pink Valentines Makeup





Whether you've got a hot date planned with your bae or you're hitting the town with the girls valentines day is a great excuse to pink it up! Whether that be with a bold new pink dress or just some subtle heart patterned knickers it's hard not to get caught up in the day of love. 

I thought i'd show you a quick valentines themed makeup look that will melt anyones heart. 





Firstly start of with applying just your usual concealer, foundation and power to make you look flawlessly fabulous. 


 Now add a little highlighter, I used the Benefit Whats Up! highlighter and blended it into my cheeks, nose and under my eyes, to help with that glowing "in love" look. 


 

A touch of light pink blusher adds a final glowing touch to your look, I used Benefit's Dandelion blusher. 


Please excuse my "i look like I'm sleeping" look, I honestly don't know that other girls show their eye makeup without looking awkward. Anyways, first put a light pink or white shimmer around your whole eyelid and under your brown. Then add a more pinky colour on top and finally with a dark pink/browny pink, define the crease in your eyelid. This gives your eyes an ombre pink look, the shadows I used were all from Urban Decay's Naked 2 Pallet: Bootycall, Chopper and Tease. 




Then it's time to sort out them brows girl! If you want to know how I do my brows check out my other post "Brow Down To Me". 



Nothing scream sexy like some killer winged eyeliner, but since this makeup is more for a date rather then a night out, subtlety goes along way. Thin with a tiny flick is a way to go, just make sure you have a steady hand! 



Now add your usual eyeliner to your waterline and mascara to give you some flirty lashes. 




I was debating on whether to use pink lipstick or a nice hot red, but personally i thought pink went better with this look. I used Mac's Please Me lipstick (The perfect name considering 50 shades of grey just came out ;) ) 



To make my lips look kissable and cute, I added a pink shimming gloss over the top of the lipstick. 



And finally, Valentines day can't be Valentines day without some sexy red thrown in there. Dab a little red along your cheekbones to define them as well as add a final touch of romantic colour to your look. 




The final look! If you want to add a final touch to your look add some cute curls to give you a relaxed but pretty look. 


Happy Valentines Day! Hope this gives those of you out there still stressing out some tips

Bash The Trend - Ugly Phone Cases


Phone cases have become a new accessory that makes your phone look, cute, sexy, stylish or just plain ugly. When your case is bigger than your actual phone you know you have a serious problem. 

By ugly cases, I mean those impractical, plastic phone costumes. 


Cases are getting so popular these days that their original use to protect your phone, comes second place to how cool you phone can be. Its like dressing up your dog, you phone doesn't get to choose what it wear and in some cases if they could talk they'll say, "wtf is this?!" 


I've come to the conclusion that ugly cases are like Pugs, they are so ugly that sometimes it makes them cute. I also have to bash the fact that most of these ugly cases take up over half the room in your handbag and don't even think about trying to fit them in your pocket. It's seriously just so extra. 


Even brands have jumped on this ugly case band wagon such as Moschino's french fry case and Victoria Secret's pineapple case and finally Disney, the biggest culprit of them all! 







Now I know your going to think I'm a hypocrite now, but i've made some very "unique" choices when it comes down to my phone cases.  From a Hello Kitty with ears to a hot pink glittery case where all the glitter feel off within a few days, but you live and learn right? 



My personal collection of ugly phone cases:

(the Hello Kitty with ears) 


My current case:

 (Chanel perfume bottle) 

The trend of ugly cases doesn't seem to be leaving anytime soon so I guess for now, you might as well buy the most disgusting way to over the top case while the trend is still around!


Whats your most embarrassing phone case? xx
