Blogging tip #1

Good afternoon!

As a sort of newbie to the blogging world I struggled at first to make my posts and photographs impressive so that people would take me seriously, which is why I came up with the idea of doing a series of posts which will be all about blogging tips and I know I'm not a pro at blogging but when I first started blogging I always found other bloggers tips and ideas helpful and I hope I can help other to so here is my first tip...

 

When I take photos for my blog, even now I find it hard to make the photos stand out and be good quality with an attractive background therefore I came up with an idea which I'm sure a lot of bloggers already use but I thought it was a neat idea which anyone can use without the cost of expensive lighting or fabric.

 

Wallpaper samples!!!

With wallpaper samples you can get them for free and you will have several patterns plus colours to choose from, you could stick to the same background or switch them around each time. I wasn't sure about this idea when trying it out for myself but once I saw the outcome of the photos with the wallpaper background they actually look really good. Another great thing about this photography tip is that both males and females can have a go at this as I'm sure there will be wallpapers available to suit both sexes.

 

Here are a few sample photographs of some wallpaper samples I chose and will hopefully give you an idea of what it looks like with wallpaper as the background.

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this post and that it helped you in some way, look forward to seeing more of my upcoming posts with the wallpaper backgrounds which I hope will be more eye-catching than taking a photo of a product sat on a rusty carpet!!!

Models Own | Polish for tans

Happy Easter everyone! Today I have a swatch post for you all about the new models own nail polish collection called Polish For Tans and it pretty much says in the collection name what the polishes are for but I will explain anyway, the vibrant shades of polish are suppose to enhance your tan and make it stand out and it does just as it says! 

So here is my swatch picture:

                   

Green: Flip Flop

Yellow: Bikini

Coral orange: Beach Bag

Neon pink: Shades

Barbie pink: Sun Hat

Hands down these are the best nail polishes I have tried by far, the colours are just beautiful and still look good without a tan. I love the names of each shade as they all relate to summer which is the season I would mostly wear these colours. These polishes are only £5 each and are so worth the money (although I won them). Another thing I love about models own nail polish is that the polish bottles are bigger than most bottles I own therefore your really getting your money's worth and they will last you a long time if you use them wisely.

Here is a link to the models own website where you can find and purchase these polishes, they also have some more beautiful colours and patterns, I especially love the speckled egg collection which I am so eager to try: https://www.modelsownit.com

Models Own | Lip Stix

Hey there!
          This morning I went to do the last big of christmas sale shopping. I had a £10 Boots gift card from christmas and I spent it today on a product ive been waiting to try for so long. And TA-DAAAA, I took this opportunity to buy not one but two of the Models Own Lip Stix which are basically chunky lip crayons, they cost £5 each which is a reasonable price.
 Here are some pics of the shades I chose and bought.

 

 I chose these shades as I don't tend to buy many pink lipsticks so I thought ide start off my collection of pink's now. Beauty Blush is such a pretty, barbie like pink and to me it would suit any skin tone. BUT I am such a big fan of purple lip products hence the reason why I bought this lovely lilac shade called Purple Pleasure, It applies a lot lighter than it looks, its almost a pink colour, infact in the picture below it looks very pink. I normally go for dark purples if I am choosing a lip product but im sure I can find ways to make it work!

 

I am obsessed with the texture of these stix, they are so smooth and mositurising, I have used a lot of lipsticks that have been very dry on my lips but these do the complete opposite. I normally apply a base before putting lipstick on such as a lip primer or vasaline to make the surface of my lips smoother for applying lipstick but I didn't have to do it with these.

I would deffinatly by more and may even try to get the whole collection as they are super cheap compared to other cosmetic brands.

 

Top swatch: Purple Pleasure

Bottom Swatch: Beauty Blush

when swatched these lipstix look very pigmented.

In Boots at the moment when you buy two or more products from the brand Models Own you get a FREE glitter kit worth £10!!! This made me very happy as I now have the chance to try out Models Own's nail polish which Ive hear a lot of positive things about.

 

Comment below if you have tried any other Models Own products that you would or even wouldn't recommend as I will be sure to shop with them again.
