The Leavers Ball

Just less than a week ago, I attended my final school event: My Sixth Form Leavers Ball, and right now I’m sitting in my bedroom trying to revise and ignore the dull weather we’re having, reminiscing Last Friday’s antics. (Great - now I have 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)' in my head;)

The ball was held at a fancy hotel called Morley Hayes and it was a top class night! We started off with a lovely drinks reception, then went up to the dance floor to shimmy the night away. There was even a photobooth (!) which we all had loads of fun in – thank you so much to our student presidents for organising the whole event – it was a wonderful farewell party!

On to what I wore . . .

Dress - Warehouse Spotlight

Bag - John Lewis

Shoes - New Look

Headband - River Island

Well, I have to say, that I literally went on a full to-the-moon-and-back style mission to get this dress as, somehow, none of the shops had my size, or the dress for that matter! But three tries later I got it, thanks to the lovely people at Warehouse Liverpool! As they delivered it to my local store!

Nails- Barry M Gelly 'LYCHEE' & sparkle

Here are a few more pics from the night:

Me and Emma - isn't her hair just to die for?

In the photobooth with my girls!

Me and my bestie Nicole!

It was truly a night to remember (not just the bruises!) and I’m really happy that I made so many good friends at Sixth Form – it’s been an amazing two years. But I have to say that I am totally ready for the next stage of my life - but I'll never forget these guys!

Presently, I only have two A Level exams left (4 down woo!) and then I’m free to enjoy summer! 

Good Luck to all of you that are doing exams in the coming months – stay positive!

à bientôt,

Love Roseanne

Flapper Girl

Yesterday was my LAST EVER DAY AT SCHOOL. i.e sixth form. And i can't believe it. It seems like five minutes ago when joined sixth form,  as the only girl from my old school, hoping to make friends and settle in nicely - BUT that was almost two whole years ago!

As they say "Time flies when you're having fun!" and it certainly does! I'm so thankful to all the people at Sixth form that have made these past two years so wonderful. I've met some amazing people that I hope to remain best friends with for life. Because honestly, I think school is one of the best times of your life and you should really put the effort in and enjoy it because it will soon pay off.

Ok. Enough with the soppy bit... and on to our outfits *woop woop*! For our leavers day, it's a tradition to go out in style, so we all dressed up (hey why not? You only leave once right?)

My best girlfriends and I dressed up as our favourite fashion eras and I was twenties (of course!)

Here is what I wore:

Crochet Dress: TKMaxx

Shoes: Primark

Bag: Cath Kidston 

Headband: River Island

Honestly, this was such a fun fancy dress day - I really enjoyed getting ready and being a flapper girl for the day. The dress I wore was an absolute treasure from TKMaxx, it was just so pretty and lovely, I really hope that I can find an excuse to wear it again.

Hair and Makeup

For my hair, I curled it then tucked it under and pinned it up, into a twenties style bob cut, and added a sparkly headband. I was so proud with the way my hair turned out, as a few people actually thought that I'd cut my hair off! And as for makeup I did a light smokey eye using different shades of brown. Along with a red lip, I used 'Burgundy' by GOSH Cosmetics.

Here is a picture of our group:

Left to right: Nicole 70's (she did have skates on at one point), Me 20's, Emma 60's and Frances 50's.

Make sure you check out Emma's blog too! 

I hope you all enjoyed this post! If you've done any fancy dress blogposts - be sure to leave me a link below and I'll be sure to have a good read.

Good luck with all your exams guys, stick to it - you can do it!

Lots of Love,

April Beauty Favourites

Hey Dolls! Welcome back (or just welcome if you’re a new reader!) Right, I know what you’re thinking -  where have you been, why are you neglecting us? So let’s address that first… 

 I am super duper sorry about my normal weekly schedule being messed up, it’s getting to exam season now, and I had my A2 French Oral exam yesterday and I have four more exams to come (eek). So bear with me at the mo, and hopefully I’ll be getting back to my normal schedule soon!

Right, now that’s all out of the way here are my April Beauty Favourites (*jumps for joy*)…

The reason I’d left it so long to post this was because I was waiting for my new Real Techniques Core Collection brushes to arrive, and if you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that they came yesterday.. and it was totally worth the wait! This morning I applied my foundation with the pointed foundation brush and it honestly goes on  a lot easier than before! So I'm really happy with that purchase. I got them online at LookFantastic, and there is discount with Unidays so I got them for £17 as opposed to £21, which is quite a deal considering they sell individually for about £10.

Secondly, we have my first ever MAC purchase. The 'Studio Fix Fluid' Foundation - mine is in shade NW10 and praise the lord it matches my skin tone! I used to always have trouble finding a foundation light enough for my skin, that wasn't too streaky or pinky - but alas, I have found it. This is basically a medium/high coverage matte foundation, so if this is the kind of look you'd like i'd highly recommend it!I have started applying this with the RT pointed foundation brush, which is really great with this foundation.

Do you use mac foundations? Can you relate to my paleness problems?

Next is the Healthy Balance Matte Powder from Bourjois. I absolutely adore this powder foundation, as it has such a smooth finish on my skin. I usually only wear this by itself, if I'm not doing much or just nipping to town - when I don't need my face on (hehe!) It's great for the natural look, which I tend to adopt regularly. Mine is in the shade  'Vanilla' and I will definately be repurchasing this item!

Moving away from beauty items and on to hair products, my latest hair styling must-have is the VO5 'Plump it Up' Mousse. I use this on towel dried hair and work in from the roots down. The mousse itself is so light you can hardly tell it's in your hair, as some mousse's (haha 'moose') can leave your hair heavy and sticky.

Last but not least is the Soap & Glory 'Scrub of your life', and oh my it's goood! First of all, the exfoliating scrub bits are pink (yes, pink) and secondly it leaves your skin feeling super soft and silky, without being too harsh or rough. I thoroughly recommend this product and have already purchased my second tub bottle tube(?) 

Do you like any of these products? If you liked this post then be sure to leave me a comment below, I'll be sure to reply as soon as possible! 

Lots of Love,

Roseanne xx
