NYX Blush - Stone beauty | blush | nix cosmetics | NYX | photos | review | stone | swatch | swatches

It seems everyone and their aunt knows that NYX blush in Taupe makes for a great contour shade. I've been on the hunt for it for so long, but the only time I have ever come across it happened to be the one time I had zero pennies to my name.
My local Cosmetics store, (I believe that's actually the name of the shop? I could be wrong.) has a fab  NYX range, but I find that they are a bit slow on renewing stock. Anywho, I decided to try the shade Stone instead and I'm glad I did.

Stone is still quite a bronzy colour, and on lighter skin tones may still come across quite orange; but on my skin it seems to be perfect. It's not muddy looking, doesn't make me look tangoed and because it is actually a blush, I find that it looks great on its own too. I'm putting this is down to the fact that it's a rather deep colour and matte. If it contained shimmer, I think it'd be a whole different story.
The product itself applies like a dream. You can use it lightly to add a touch of colour, or continue to build it up for a really strong contour. Start off softly and work up to something you feel comfortable with.

If you're struggling to find taupe yourself and don't mind a slightly warmer shade, maybe give this a go. Like I said, I'm not sure how it would look on the palest of skin, but I'm certainly not the most tanned.

For reference, I'm wearing it in my latest Monday Make-up post here.

MOVING WEEK!!

Seriously one of the most stressful weeks of my life! 

Thankfully though, we are now totally and completely moved into our new house! We cleaned the flat today, and are going back to finish it off closer to the date of which we have to give back our keys. 

I am absolutely loving my new house, the space we have now is amazing, and the added fact that we now have a study is awesome! 

Other than moving, I really haven't done much too exciting this week. 

I will be back from now on, posting regularly, and if the weather stays bight and sunny, I will hopefully have some new OOTD's up soon! 

Hope you guys are all super well!

Hi my lovelies!

First off I'd like to apologise for my lack of posting, even though I know have a new laptop now, I've noticed the effect of not having one has had on WFF traffic. I feel a little down about it as there was nothing I could have done about it at the time and now unfortunately I'm finding it difficult to get motivation. That's not saying I want to give up on WFF, far from it, it's my little baby. I just feel like all my hard work for the past long few months have been undone by the unfortunate events of the last one. 

I am going to try and get back into my good old blogging routine this week as I'm trying to make a few changes in my life. One is to be more organised. This means you can all expect Monday make-up to return, and also Friday fit day will make an appearance again because this is another of my life changes.

Anywhoooo, this week I've spent a lot of time getting to know our new friends, cuddling my cats and working on this weeks DIY project. I've randomly decided I wanted to change the colour theme in my bedroom and the first port of call was the curtains. I figured it would be tons cheaper to dye them rather than buying new ones, so that's what I did. I bleached the hell out of them for four hours and then spent another 4fourdying them the amazing violet colour you see in the photos above. I was a little dubious as to how they would turn out because Dylon dye claims it may not dye over bleach stains, but it worked and I don't think it could have come out any better. :) 

Like I said, next week should be back to more of my regular blogging schedule and I hope to see more of you returning to WFF in the future. 

Hope you all have a cracking bank holiday weekend. Keep your eyes peeled on my Youtube channel, I'm thinking of vlogging the We The Kings gig. :)

Unfortunately this week has been a really boring one. It's been pretty stressful and I've had a couple of panic attacks. On a brighter note though, my mum and step dad are coming to visit on Wednesday and I'm really looking forward to it. Fingers crossed this week will see a little more happen. I'm planning on trying to get at least two new tutorials done. I'm thinking if I can get into the routine and I can make it an ongoing thing. 

Today (Sunday) I've spent the day cutting old photos and swapping around my frames, also collecting some inspiration for my redecorating!

I hope you have all had an awesome week? You done anything exciting?

Hi Lovelies!
    Sorry I've been so absent, I took a three day break from blogging as my mum, sister and niece came to visit all the way from West Wales. They spent 6 hours on Monday driving to get here and left this morning to make the horrid drive back. I've had the most fun 3 days ever and I am missing my Lilypie so much already! Whilst they were here we got lost in Bradford, ate far too much takeaway foods and spent an hour and a half in Wacky Warehouse playing in the ball pit.
    Unfortunately there has been a teeny down side to these past few days too, my sister has been suffering with a really bad cold and muggins here caught it off of her. I am now tucked up on my sofa, with a blanket and a hot cup of blackcurrant squash. I'm hoping it doesn't get any worse than it is now, because not only do I feel like complete and utter pants, but I really want to have the energy to write some posts and record some new videos too!! I've missed it so much, I hadn't actually realised how big of a part blogging played in my life now.
    Anywhooooo, I am going to make this a short one so I don't ramble on too much, I have taken lots of footage of Lily whilst she was here, but I'm not too sure my sister would be cool with me posting it (I have to admit I don't 100% trust the internets myself), so I'll stick a couple of pics on here instead.

Please excuse the incredibly awful hat hair and make-up free face, my cold had kicked in that day. 

Best Day Everrrr....with a couple of glitches! buffet | bus | friends | fun | leeds | personal | photos | primark | red hot | shopping | train | wine

Hi Lovelies!
    I am so so sorry I haven't posted since Monday! Yesterday my two best friends came up from Crewe for the day. It was planned that Leanne was coming, but Ben came too as a complete surprise. I got out of the shower in the morning from a text to him saying, "who knew Yorkshire was so rural." Haha, I think I peed my pants with excitement. I haven't seen him since August!

(Watch my train vlog fail below, I had to mute the sound because it picked up the screechy sound of the train instead of Ben's beautiful singing of 'The wheels on the bus'.)

     So after we had ran around finding somewhere for Leanne to park her car for the day, we hopped on a bus, then a train and headed into Leeds. It was freezing!!! Me being a dim-bulb had not dressed warm either. We started our day having lunch in the amazing Red Hot World buffet. It was incredible! I think we ate until we could eat no more! £45 for three people to eat and a bottle of wine between us, it wasn't even badly priced! We were told we could have the table for two hours, which is plenty of time to scoff all you want.

    After, we shuffled down to Primarni, where I learnt to always check the size of the items of clothing and don't trust what the hangers say! I ended up going home with two pieces far, far too small for me. Liam and I may pop back to Leeds on Saturday so I can exchange one of them, I'd already taken the tag off the other before I realised how tiny it was.

    After battling against the wind and rain round a few more shops, we decided to head home. The journey back consisted of grumpy women in the station, talking about rudey things on the train and running up the road to catch the smelliest bus on earth.
    Our evening consisted of more rudey talk, Ben drinking the best part of a bottle of vodka, me moaning about my headache and taking silly photos. They left mine at 9:45pm to make the two hour journey home.
     The day made me realised how much I miss the two of them, I talk to them all the time, but it's not quite the same as pissing about with them and having a giggle. My house seems so quiet now and I'm yet to tidy up the slight carnage in the living room.

     Safe to say, it was well worth missing out on a day of blogging and making videos, I wish it could happen more often. Sorry if I've bored you a little with this one, I like to go back and read some of my posts some time and this would certainly be one to put a smile on my face when I needed it.
