My New Bedroom

My New Bedroom 

So firstly I am sorry for the lack of posts this last week, but as you might have guessed by the title of this post I have finally moved into my new uni house! I am living with 8 (I know, it's a big house!) of my best friends from uni last year and my bedroom is on the very top floor. I love looking at how people have decorated their bedrooms and their homes so I thought I would finally share with you a few pictures of my new bedroom. 

So this is basically what you see when you open the door and walk into my bedroom. I have a nice big bed in the middle of the room and then my desk and work area over in the corner. I've get the decor as light as possible to make the space feel bigger so as can only be expected there is a lot of white and pastel! 

On one end of my desk I have created like a dressing table area with all of my makeup and some beauty bits. I actually brought pretty much all of my makeup with me to university so I have everything that I could ever need. In the morning and before nights out I will just scoot my chair over to this end of my desk and do my makeup using my little desk mirror. 

I love having a lot of pretty pastel thinks like jewellery, makeup and nail polish on show as it adds detail and makes the room feel homely and girlie. 

On the other end of the desk I have my work area with my laptop, notepads and pens. I find it easier to keep all my uni books and folders away in my cupboard and take them out as and when I need them. My desk isn't huge so this way it feels tidier and I have more space. 

I actually bought this new calculator the other day. I remember being about twelve years old and being desperate for the bright pink one! Now I got just as much job buying the beautiful new white one to go with my desk space! 

I have a little bedside table where I keep a few bits and pieces. I have my white alarm clock, my lantern, glasses, a candle and my favourite photo of my brother and sister. I also have some lip balm and hand cream which I always use before bed, and then all my other bedtime beauty bits are in the drawers. 

Finally just above my desk I have this little shelf space. Here I have put my Roberts Radio on display as the colour goes perfectly with my throw. I have some beauty bits, some of my favourite jewellery and then my cacti which I just love! Which reminds me, they could probably do with a bit of water! 

There is actually a little corner of my bedroom that I haven't included in this post. Do avoid making this post too long, and because it is my favourite part of my bedroom I am going to include these pictures in a whole separate post. So keep an eye out as that will be on the blog in the next few days.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend, speak soon xx

Space Party Galaxy Makeup

Space Party Galaxy Makeup

Last night I went to a huge space themed party held by my university to celebrate the end of exams. I didn't really know what to go as and I didn't want to spent a lot of money on a crazy costume. All I did know that what I just wanted to take the opportunity to wear a lot of sequins and glitter!

I ordered a little black sequin dress of Ebay for £10 as my costume and then I was just going to do some really cool makeup to dress it up. I probably spent hours in total scrolling through pinterest and WeHeartIt for inspiration on space themed makeup. But in the end I combined a few different looks and this is what I came up with. 

The makeup look I went for was a galaxy swirl/black hole around just my right eye. I started off with a white eyeshadow and did a white swirl under my eye to my cheekbone and then under my eyebrow to my nose. I then gradually darken the eyeshadow for the rest of the look from silver to grey and then to black. I made sure to really blend everything out so that the gradient looked smooth as it faded out. I then applied some Barry M glitter dust over the swirl, concentrating it on the white eyeshadow. Finally I used a Collection silver liquid liner and a glitter liner to draw on a few stars of all different sizes. 

For my left eye I just did a bit of a smoky eye in similar colour with the black and silver. I also decided to wear some pretty long false lashes from Collection for about £3. I don't often wear fake lashes but these ones are pretty simple to put on and I love how they look on a night out. 

On my nails I wore the silver Rimmel Space Dust which I thought was pretty fitting and kept with my glittery theme. 

Hope you liked this different kind of makeup up post! So happy that my exams have finally finished and I can't wait to get back into a routine of blogging more often. Speak soon xx
