I'M BACK! LIFE UPDATE

My only excuse this time is university work, which I didn't realise was going to take over my time so much!

So what have I actually been doing for a month you might ask? 

Well for my course I've had essays and stories to write that took more time than I expected them to. I've also had to plan and film a short film that took up a lot of my time too. And excitedly I also starred in another groups short film, which I've never done before and it went really well!

But the boring stuff out of the way, I've also got addicted to Netflix... I was kind of late to the party but I finally got it and it was a bad idea, I should've just waited til summer! Currently I'm in the middle of the third season of Pretty Little Liars and I love it! I pretty much have girl crushes on all the girls and actual crushes on the guys! I already do know who 'A' is (or at least the name) because of stupid spoilers but I still can't wait to catch up to date properly. There's also so much I want to watch on there, it's just having the time to. 

Another project I've taken an interest in is a new group we created called HyperNation. It's a group of people from my university and basically we're a media platform- we will be creating music videos for local bands, create short films and plan and carry out events in nightclubs locally for now. It's something we're all very passionate about and things are getting started for us right now. If you want to check it out here's the social links:

I'M GONNA BE ON TV!!

So a few weeks ago I got contacted by a woman from 4Music and she asked me if I wanted to send in a question to the artist Charli XCX. I've always loved her music and it's her music videos that catch my eye the most. 

So I decided to ask her about her inspiration for her music videos. I sent my video in and then I got told they'd get back to me when they knew it would be aired.

I got the email back yesterday that it would be up on the 4Music YouTube channel today at some point so I'm not even gonna lie, I was on it all day waiting for it to come on! And it finally did!!

If you want to watch me ask Charli XCX a question check out the video here!! 

Charli XCX: Face The Fans

I'm the second person to ask a question just in case you were wondering and not to brag but Charli says that she likes me (so we're basically best friends!)

I'm so chuffed to be on this and even more amazingly it's going to be aired on TV on Monday!

It'll be on the 4Music TV Channel at 4pm on Monday 2nd March and I can't wait!

I have to thank Grivas from 4Music to help me through this and be so co-operative with me.

So if you're free then or would like to check out the YouTube video it would be GREATLY appreciated. 

Thank you very much

Fall/Autumn Make-up Look

 So I filmed a quick makeup tutorial the other day. It's a fall/autumn makeup look with a gold eye and a bold lip. I've also used all drugstore makeup so that it's affordable for everyone. You could also wear it with a less bold lip and use it for an everyday make-up because it's so quick and easy to do.

So the first thing I do is apply my foundation. I use the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in True Ivory and used my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to blend it in to my face.

I then used the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer to cover up any blemishes I had left.

And finally for my base I used my Rimmel Clear Complexion Powder to set my foundation. I love using this powder because it's translucent so doesn't give my skin a different colour. I used my Real Techniques Buffing Brush with my powder.

 For my brows I've been using the L'Oreal Paris Superliner in Brunette 03. I love using this because I have quite defined brows anyway so I use it to fill them in slightly.

For eyeshadow I used the MUA Undress Me Too Palette which is one of my favourite make-up palettes. It only costs £4 and I must use it every day for my casual make-up. 

Firstly I put the colour Shy (1) over my lids which is a shimmery light colour for a base. I then used Devotion (2), which is a really nice gold colour, for the outside of my lids going about 3/4 of the way in. And finally I used Obsessed (3) for the crease of my eye lid to add definition.

I then used the MUA Intense Colour Eyeliner in Rich Brown to line the bottom of my lash line. I then just used a simple brush to blend it to make it look a bit more smokey. And finally I curled my lashes and used the L'Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes Mascara which is quickly becoming one of my favourite mascaras. It works really well with my eyelashes, making them long and full of volume.

For my cheeks I used the Make-up Revolution Baked Bronzer in Ready To Go. I use this bronzer nearly everyday and for £4 it's amazing quality. And finally for highlighter I used my favourite one, the Mememe Beat The Blues Highlighter in Pearl Pink. I applied little blobs to highlight my brow bone and also on my cheekbone.

And finally for lipstick I used my new favourite autumn colour which is the Rimmel Lasting Finish Kate Lipstick in #30. It's a really pretty dark plum shade that looks amazing in autumn/fall.

So that's all the make-up I used in my tutorial, if you haven't checked the video out, watch it here!

Tyler Ward Vlog!

So I went to a Tyler Ward gig this weekend and I decided to vlog my day. Unfortunately I had college but then I went to Manchester Sound Control Bar and watched him.

The support act was great, I ended up buying his album, and Tyler ward was amazing! After all the years of following him on Twitter and YouTube, I couldn't believe that I was watching him live!

I also couldn't believe that he wanted to meet us and sign things and take pictures with us at the end! He's an amazing person and really cares about his fans.

Anywhooo if you want to watch my vlog then click here!

Hectic!

Wow! What a hectic week or so this has been! I can't believe how busy I am!

Between doing my media and photography coursework in any spare time and also keeping up with my videos and my blog is so hard. I also have to squeeze my work in there too. There's also so much coming up as well. In December I'm going to London for a few days with my college for Media. So we're going to see The Warner Bros studios finally, and also go to BBC. I'm so excited about seeing London at Christmas time and see all the Christmas shopping.

So I know I'm behind on posts but bear with me and I have a video for you all instead.

About two months ago I filmed this music video with my friend Robyn for our media coursework in college. It's taken us so long to edit it but we have finally done it and I would like to share it.

We are so proud of it and we want to get as many views on it as possible so we can write a good feedback for our evaluation. You also might see a glimpse of my not so normal face in there!

Check it out here! It will be much appreciated!

Keep posted and Stay Happy

Happy Halloween!

So I know Halloween was yesterday but I thought I would do a post about it :)

Me and my friend went to town early, bought four pumpkins (oooops) 

But I also invested in one of these!

It's a skort! Now I'd seen people raving on about these and to be honest didn't really understand them but when I tried it on, I loved it so much! For people who don't know what it is, it is a skirt and shorts put together. The front looks like a skirt but the back are shorts. I love the fit on these and they look really nice on. I've seen a pair like these before in Zara for about £25 so I was happy to get these for only £18! Happy with this purchase!

When we got back we filmed a cheeky video carving pumpkins, if you want to check that out here!

Then we went out that night. We didn't really want to dress up that much but when we were out we definitely felt under dressed! People had really gone all out for Halloween this year!

I loved my hair last night. I was kind of inspired by Lorde because her hair is so beautiful, I wish I had her natural hair. I used my Nicky Clarke thin curlers to curl all of my hair, using really small strands. It was pretty time consuming. After I'd done that I curled my fringe away from my face using my GHDs. I then back combed the top of my hair and also the curls to create a wild look. I also hair sprayed it into place. I love this hair style and I think I will use it more often!

Jade wore a simple black top with lace sleeves and a leather look skirt with her high heeled boots. She also wore Kate Moss matte lipstick.

I wore a stripey black and white cropped top and also my new skorts with my cut out boots from New Look. I wore Kate Moss lipstick with Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick in Black Cherry around the outside.

I had a great night out and I have always loved dressing up for Halloween :)

Hope everyone had a great day!

But here are our HILARIOUS reactions to playing the game.

And hopefully, next time we can play number two :)

Stay Happy!

Summer!

So my exams are finally OVER! I'm so happy that I don't have to spend all my time revising. It means that I can spend more time and effort on my blog, and YouTube channel. I've already planned a photoshoot tomorrow which I'm really excited about!

Today I thought I'd share with you my summer bucketlist. I started this a while ago, and just occasionally add random ones onto the end, so to celebrate the beginning of summer I thought I'd share it with you!

1. Have a water fight. This is kind of a childhood tradition of mine to have a water fight with all my friends. I thought you could take cool pictures with it too.

2. Take loads of pictures, at least one everyday. I really want to document my summer so I don't forget it. That links to the next one.

3. Keep a summer scrapbook/journal.

4. Movie marathons with my friends.

5. Have a paint fight. Not a wet one, just a dry one. This looks AMAZING on pictures.

6. Make someone smile. Cheesy, I know but it brightens my day.

7. Stay positive. I don't want to waste my summer feeling down.

8. Tie dye lots! I want to buy loads of white cheap clothes from Primark and then tie dye then all.

9. Meet new people. I want to broaden my friends list, whether that's other bloggers or YouTuber's or just other people.

10. Shop a lot. I normally do this anyway because my birthday is in summer so I usually have money.

11. Go ice-skating. I love ice-skating.

12. Have barbecues. Just chilled out days with my friends.

13. Go to a concert. This probably won't happen because I don't have any tickets but I can wish can't I?

14. Redecorate my room. My room has been the same since I was little so I want to gradually change some things around.

15. Go to the beach. I love the beach so much but we don't particularly live close to one.

16. Start vlogging. Planning to start that soon.

17. Go to the zoo. Love the zoo.

18. Go to London for the day/night with friends, and go to covent gardens.

19. Make a rainbow cake, I mean who doesn't?

20. Go camping with all my friends.

21. Make more music videos.

22. Make a huge daisy chain.

So this is my summer bucketlist. I just add things as they come to me, and I know it's not possible to do all of these, it's just things that I'd love to do.

Do you have a summer bucketlist or a life bucketlist?

Stay Happy,

New video!

Hey guys!

So I filmed my first, talking to the camera, film yesterday. I filmed a haul video of what I've bought over the past month or so. I really didn't know how I would respond to talking to a camera, but after a few attempts I managed to do it and I actually enjoyed it. 

I've also sorted out my YouTube videos, and this one took two and half hours to upload which I'm willing to wait as long as the quality of the video is good, which this one is, you can even watch it in HD! 

I'm happy with this video but I had to cut it into two parts to make it shorter so part 2 should be on at some point tomorrow!

Here it is! >>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2WUDvXYLjU

I hope you like it, and please like, comment, subscribe and all that jazz to see more soon!

Stay Happy!

Hair!

Hey everyone!

So today I dyed my hair and I though I would share my experience with you and this is also a review for the Schwarzkopf Live Colour XXL hair dye.

Firstly I thought I'd tell you about the dye. It was £4.29 from Boots in Manchester and the colour I buy is 92 Pillar box Red. I dyed my hair red from a light brown a few months ago, and I loved it. The first time I did it was quite dark though so each time I've gotten a brighter shade. I started off with the brand Ferriar and did the two red shades in that brand. Then I changed to XXL which I used last time and also this time. I used this colour again because I was really happy with the results and the brightness of the colour.

To start I thought I'd show you what my hair looked like before I dyed it. This was my hair today, about six weeks after dying it the last time. The colour is semi-permanent so I didn't really expect anything different.

My roots were pretty bad but I'm quite tall so my theory was that no-one was really looking at the top of my head anyway :) I know now that it doesn't work like that.

The ends of my hair were also pretty bad, it looked like I'd dip-dyed my hair brunette with red at the top. So I needed to concentrate on them.

In the pack you get a pair of gloves, which usually have holes in (I recommend using your own, these plastic ones get on my nerves anyway), two packs of lovely smelling conditioner and the tube of colour.

So the instructions say to wash your hair lightly with shampoo but I just wet mine because I'd washed it the night before properly. I then put a towel round my shoulders (wearing old clothes) and got to work. The colour comes out the tube kind of like tomato puree, that's the best I can describe it. It doesn't smell bad either like some hair dyes that give me headaches, this one smells quite nice. 

I started with the roots of my hair and then did the middle, making sure I got the back. I also did my fringe at this point too. And then I concentrated on the ends. I think I put the most on the ends because last time I didn't put enough on. Then with the rest of the colour I just touched it up and made sure everywhere was covered. I rubbed the dye in, making sure it covered all my hair and I left the dye on for thirty minutes and then washed it off.

I rinsed it thoroughly first, and then shampooed it, with my Pantene Colour Protect shampoo and then rinsed that. I then lathered it in the packet of lovely smelling conditioner and left it for about two minutes and then rinsed it all. I then added my heat protect serum, blow dried it and then straightened my fringe. And this was the result!

From these pictures it doesn't look that bright, that's just because of my crappy lighting but it looks better in person. I'm really happy with out it's turned out because you can never tell with hair dye what's going to happen. I'm also chuffed with the XXL colour because it's the brightness I want it. My hair feels so soft from the conditioner and looks in good condition too which is a bonus. There was no problems with the dye, except the gloves and that I would probably buy another box too, because my hair is quite thick and longish. But other than that its a perfect price, perfect colour and it's easy to apply! Highly Recommneded by me!

Thanks for reading,

Stay Happy,

Sarah

P.s. These are some better pictures of the colour of my hair. I'm also modelling my new headband I bought today. If you want to know where it's from and how much it was, follow and keep posted because I will be posting a haul video, including this headband! It was a great buy so keep your eyes peeled!

YouTube!

So my first YouTube video is up!

It's a Blindfolded Make-up Challenge that I did with my best friend :)
I had soooooo many problems with this video. It was my first video using Adobe Premiere to edit my videos and it took me a while to get used to. Once I'd edited my video I had NO idea what preset to export it using. There were so many and I didn't even know where to start. I chose what I though would be best and let it export. Then when it came to putting it on YouTube and the estimated time came to approx.2000+ minutes. I thought that was ridiculous so I stopped it, looked it up and found that my file was too big. So I used a different preset, twice, and it was still too long.
Eventually I shortened the video and used the preset that compressed it the most. But I know nothing about computers so I have no idea what each preset means :(
So the estimated time for this video was about 3 hours. I'd had enough by this time so I just decided to leave it. Then when I saw the video on YouTube it was really bad quality, when my camera is a really good quality. So can anyone help me?! I'm so confused and need urgent help! So please post a comment or something if you know what I'm talking about.
Thanks, Sarah :)
