Another Small Update On Life ... (Not Very Interesting But Probably Necessary) ...

Apparantly the last time I wrote a blog post for this blog was August. Well, now it is December and I am absolutely ashamed of myself for letting it go on that long without me spending any time on my blog. This will not be happening again. 

The whole point of this post is to - much like the last one - just to update everyone on where I am in life; as it is very different to the expectations that I highlighted in the last post. Currently, I am laid out on my sofa with my laptop writing this, whilst wrapped up in my over sized fur coat that I purchased from Next this time last year. I am poorly; suffering from a sore throat and a lost voice, thus I have the next 3 days off from both of my jobs and in this time I have decided that I am going to get back on track with this blog. 

So this post is just a short one to establish where I am, before I continue to write about everything Fashion and Beauty related. I am also thinking to extend this blog into covering Lifestyle, as well as Fashion and Beauty. I'll explain all this in another post that will follow later today. 

I think in my last post I mentioned that I was going back to College here in Chester to study Level 2 Beauty Therapy. That; unfortunately, has had to be put on hold for a year, but I am definitely planning on going to do that in September 2015. The reason that didn't fall through for this year was due to financial reasons, but I know that in a years time I will be better off and will be happier to do it then having waited. It will be worth it for sure! So right now, and since August, I have managed to get myself a full time job at the Pub that I was working at before alongside Next, whilst still working Part Time in Next every Saturday. So I have the best of both worlds and the means to actually save up for my future. 

I am loving working both jobs and I am so happy that I can just take this year and until September out to just work and save up. Life is good and I'm happy, I am learning a lot and meeting new people and being able to still spend time with everyone I love. 

So that's me guys. That's where I am up to so far. I hope this short post just gives the insight needed into my life at the moment and fills in any gaps between my last post and the posts that are to follow this which thankfully I now have the time to write.

Just a Small Update on Life...

Hello everyone!

This post is going to be slightly different to my other posts, in a sense that it is not a review on any products that I have used, or is not specifically about any brands, items, techniques or anything that I have done Fashion and Beauty related. Rather, this is going to be a short (relatively) update on what is going on in my life now that I have finished University, and due to what I am hoping to do, it is Beauty related and so I thought it would be good for me to share!

For those who do not know, or have not realised; for the past year and a half now, I have developed a passion and interest in things Fashion and Beauty related. Hence the purpose of this Blog. For those of you who have known me a long time, and over the past year and half, you will be very aware of how I was before I am now. I was never really bothered about things like the way that I dressed, the way that I looked, whether I wore make up or not, how my hair was etc, and to an extent, I'm still not all that bothered, in a sense of it is not the be all and end all to me. However, saying that, I am definitely more interested in these things more now, and I do take the time and effort in my appearance. Now, please do not get me wrong, I am by no means and in any way saying that appearance is everything and I am in no means trying to be a shallow person in that sense. I am a firm believer in encouraging people in believing how beautiful they are as people and I believe that beauty is on the inside and it is about who the person is and what is in their heart. I mean that and I stand by that and always will. That is what is important, and that is all that matters. So please don't get me wrong when I talk about the outside appearance and beauty and makeup etc. When I talk about all these things, it is purely about the passion and interest that I have in them, and how I enjoy this 'art', and how it works and applies to me.

My on going interest has developed from working in retail; being around clothes all the time, matching and selling outfits, I have just become more aware of Fashion. Putting an outfit together now doesn't seem as difficult as it used to be, and I am not afraid to take risks anymore. This is the same with Make Up. I never used to wear it like I do now, partly because I was just brought up to not be concerned with it, and I just didn't really know how to wear it either. When I did wear it, it was nothing special, maybe a bit of eyeliner and mascara and the occasional lipgloss. That would be all. Now, however, I have learned how to wear makeup, self taught, and my every day routine consists of much more than those three items. However, I know my make up is never over the top and I know how to create a range of looks; from everyday-minimal makeup to full on going -on-a-night-out looks. Disclaimer: I am by no means a Make Up artist nor am I a professional, I am just self taught and this has come with a lot of patience, practice, and not being afraid to experiment.

This combination of "Fashion and Beauty" becoming a part of my life over the past year and a half enabled me to realise what it was that I wanted to do with my life. The issue was that it was half way through my University degree that I had this realisation. So at the time I wasn't really able to do much about it. However; now that I have finished, I feel that it is something that I can finally pursue, and that is what I am going to do.

On Friday I have an admissions interview at West Cheshire College to study Level 2 Beauty Therapy. This course claims to give me a 'thorough grounding in a wide range of treatments such as facials, manicures, pedicures, waxing, eye treatments and make-up' and it is something that I really hope I can get a place on, and cannot wait to get started with. My thoughts are to eventually have my own beauty salon and, although this is a big aim and is only more of a dream right now, I think if I work really hard and have a recognised qualification in this, it may actually be doable. Being self taught, and not really having any specific training, I thought it would be best, and an amazing opportunity to do a course in this, not just for the sake of a qualification, but to actually learn and gain the skills that I would need to start a career in this. It would just be perfect to broaden my horizens and I am just so excited to learn all these things.

Alongside doing this, I am hoping to continue with this blog and posting on a more regular basis (I know I say this a lot), establishing myself as a Fashion and Beauty Blogger. So, if there are any specific things people want me to write about, Fashion and Beauty related, then please do get in touch!

So this is where I am in life up to this moment in time. If any of you are like me and share the same passion then also feel free to get in touch! You can find me on Instagram, Twitter and my email. The details are down below.

Also check out the West Cheshire College website for more information about the course if you are interested:

First Ever Attempt at Doing Someone Else's Make Up...

Today I did someone else's make up for the first time ever! This is my baby sister. Isn't she a stunner?!

Details on the products that I used to create this look are down below and all of these images with the information will be available on my Instagram over the next few days.

 Primer: Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser Clear £7.99

Concealer: Lasting Perfection Concealer in the shade Cool Medium £4.19

BB Cream: Rimmel BB Cream 9 - in - 1 in the shade Medium £6.99

Contour: Sleek Face Contour Kit in the shade Light £9.99

Highlight: Benefit Sun Beam Highlighter £19.50

Brows: Soap and Glory Archery Brow Tint and Pencil £10.00

Eyes: Collection Work The Colour Eye Shadow Palette in the shade Brown **This product I could no longer find available online but I am sure it is still available in most drug stores and is around £4.99 if I remember correctly! (Apologies if not) **

Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner in Black £7.99

LOreal Paris Million Lashes So Couture Mascara in Black £7.99

Lips: Sleek Lipstick True Colour in the shade Cherry £4.99

All of the above products are very affordable and can be found in most drug stores, for example Super Drug or Boots, and are all items that I would absolutely recommend for anyone who is looking for good quality make up on a tighter budget. The only high end item on this list would be the Benefit Sun Beam Highlighter as this was slightly more expensive, but definitely worth it, in my opinion!

I know this is a slightly different post as to what I would usually write, however I do hope that it is straight to the point and gives all the relevant information. All of the prices above should be roughly correct give or take depending on the different prices offered by the two different drug stores, but they should be roughly the same as they are the same products available on both stores after all. 

If you like this post and would like to keep up to date with my latest fashion and beauty trends, finds, must haves etc, then don't hesitate to contact me, and/or follow me on Twitter and Instagram!

First Favourites...

Today I attempted to film my first video for YouTube. When I say my 'first', I mean the first one that will hopefully be successfully uploaded. I did film and try to upload one which I was very very happy with after editing a few weeks ago, however I was unsuccessful in uploading it. This is probably due to the very basic and not very good software I have and the fact that I probably don't really know how to use it properly. So upon being very frustrated about this, I wiped everything clean on my cameras and thought that I would just simply try again sometime in the future. Well, ladies and gentlemen, the 'future' occurred today, as I had a little bit of time alone in the house to film without any other distractions! I haven't actually edited or uploaded the video yet, so I do not actually know if it will work when it comes to uploading onto YouTube. Of course I am hoping that it works and that by tomorrow my first ever YouTube video will be online for people to watch, however I am very aware that this attempt could be as unsuccessful as the previous attempt. If this is the case then I am begging someone, anyone, to help me!

The video that I filmed earlier today is simply a Favourites video. As everyone I watch on YouTube tend to film 'Monthly Favourites' videos of any items and products that they have found and used and really liked in that month, I thought a similar video would be a good place to start for a first video. However, I am not calling it a 'Monthly Favourites' video due to the fact that all of the products that I chose to use this time round are products that I have had and have been using over a longer time period than just this month - products that I have had and been using for the past four or five months now - hence the chosen title of just simply 'Favourites' video.

I have decided to write a post for this blog in collaboration with any video that I post in the future, and so naturally this 'First Favourites' post is to collaborate with the video that I will hopefully later be able to upload after editing.

So for this video, I chose five products that I would class as a 'favourite' and I filmed myself talking about them and discussing what I liked about them and where they can be purchased, kind of like a short review. I only chose five items because I wanted to keep it relatively short just as it is my first video, but at the same time it allowed for a decent time of footage that isn't too much. I think I am naturally quite nervous and I think that this shows on the video, but as I get used to being in front of the camera I think I relax a little, at least it felt like I did. I am aware that it may take me a little bit of time to get comfortable in front of the camera but I know that if I stick to it and really commit myself to YouTube then I will get there eventually. So I am appreciative of any audience I have bearing with me, and understanding that I am just starting out, but I will get there!

So without any further adieu, and in no particular order, here are the five products featured in my video...

Lipsticks from the YSL Rouge Volupte and Rouge Volupte Shine ranges.
These are my most favourite lipsticks ever and I don't think it is difficult to tell why. The packaging itself is just beautiful but not only that! The colours are just to die for and they are so easy to apply, so so creamy and they stay on your lips a very long time. It is rare that I have to re-apply with these lipsticks!

Lipsticks by MAC
I don't think I know any girl who has not heard of MAC and has not used a lipstick by MAC. I absolutely adore these lipsticks and they are what I would usually wear on an everyday basis, rather than something that I would treat myself to as the YSL lipsticks are. Definitely an everyday lip essential!

Hydrating Macadamia Oil by Organix
This is a hair product that I have been using over the past two or three months and I definitely could not be without this now. I apply a small amount after every wash to my hair and it leaves it feeling very soft and smelling great. It does not make my hair greasy like I have found Argan Oil does, so I am very pleased with this hair product and I do prefer it as a hair treatment over Argan Oil.

They're Real Mascara by Benefit
This mascara is one that was raved about by everyone and so it wasn't long before I caved and felt the need to try this product out for myself. Needless to say I definitely understand what all the rave was about and I agree with all the good things that everyone was saying about this product. It is definitely my favourite mascara and one of the best that is out there right now. Although not exactly pricey, but not exactly cheap either, I would say that this product is definitely worth the money. 

Three-Step Skin Clearing Treatment from The Body Shop
I bought these three products in a set that was worth £18 but instead I paid £13 and I am so so glad that I got this. It has treated my skin and helped clear it massively and I would definitely recommend these to anyone who is worried about their skin and wants a cheap and affordable way to treat it. Before this I was using the Three-Step Anti-Blemish Kit by Clinique and although being very happy with their products, it is a little pricey and so these that are offered by The Body Shop are a much cheaper and more affordable option and I have found do just as good as job as the Clinique one. 

True Match Foundation by Loreal and the Repairwear Anti-Aging Foundation by Clinique
I use both of these foundations on a regular basis - one being a more high end foundation than the other, but both of them I equally love. The True Match one by Loreal is one that I would use on a regular day to day basis and is very affordable with medium coverage, best used with a setting powder. The Repairwear Foundation  by Clinique is a more expensive foundation with a fuller coverage and so is one that I would wear on nights out or if I know that I am going to be doing something that is going to impress someone, for example job interviews or even just for work.

All of these items that I have shown above are products that are featured in my Favourites video and in that I have gone into a lot more detail about the products than I have here. But this just gives a general overview of what that video is and what is in it.

I do hope to be doing a lot more of both blogging and more videos in the near future and I am hoping that my channel really does take off.

A Weekend Back At Home and A Few Treats To Try Out...

This weekend I went back to the beautiful county of Yorkshire to visit my parents who live in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. I went back as my Uncle and his family were visiting us from Singapore and it is very rare that we get to see them. So it was a nice trip back. Short, but sweet. Considering how rare it is that I actually go back to the homeland, it does make me realise and appreciate how special it is to see and to spend time with my family. I was only supposed to be there for one night - Saturday - however; I haven't been very well over the past few days and so my parents very kindly let me stay for another night, and so I was able to spend a little bit of extra time with them, which was very nice - despite sleeping for the majority of today! I was, however, able to go shopping earlier with my dad and he bought me a few goodies. What a guy!

So over the weekend, as well as today, I have managed to accumulate quite a few beauty and skin care products from my wonderfully generous family. Some of them are products that I have already tried out and have been using for a while now, and have run out and needed to replace them, whereas others are products that I have heard lots about due to them being so raved about and I have thus been convinced that I have absolutely needed them for a fair few months now. And now I have finally got my hands on them, courtesy of my fantastic parents. So, here they are...

I will write brief reviews of the items that I have already used later in this post, but I will do a separate review post of all of these and more items in the next few days. These are the items that I have managed to get hold of whilst at home. They are products that you can actually get from most drug stores and/ or supermarkets, so nothing here is too pricey. All of these items are actually very affordable :)

Pictured here is (from right to left)  is the "Mega" Shampoo and Conditioner by Aussie, the "Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer" by Collection, the "Apricot Blemish Fighting" Scrub by St Ives, the "Argan Oil Night Repair Serum" and "Argan Oil Hair Treatment" and finally the "Archery Brow Tint and Precision Shaping Pencil" by Soap and Glory. I can't remember the exact prices of each of these individual items but I will find this out and the next blog post I write will be a special review of these items and more, as I mentioned before, and that will be up in the next few days.

I am so blessed to have parents who happily funded my beauty regime this time round. Thankfully I didn't need as many products as I usually seem to need, and thankfully they have topped me up to last me another while. So thank you to them - you - if you are reading this.

This is the first blog post I have managed to write in quite a few weeks now, and I don't plan on going this long again without blogging. Quite the opposite actually, as I hope to blog a lot more now that I have the time to with Uni being finished forever. So, although this post has been a bit brief and a bit, well, all over the place, I hope that anyone who reads this enjoys it - and I hope it gives you a little bit of insight and flavour as to what is to come.

In the meantime, to keep up to date with me and what I do, what I wear, my skincare and beauty routines etc, follow my Instagram and Twitter and be sure to say hello! :)

Working Out And How This Benefits Me...

Working out is something that I have always gone through phases with, each time having a sort of temporary obsession with my body, how it looks, and how much I feel I may need to get in shape. Now, please don't get me wrong, I am a strong believer in loving yourself and loving your body, and being happy with your body - after all, every one is unique, everyone is beautiful, and everyone should love themselves. But I do know and understand how people may find this difficult. All I can suggest is find something that works for YOU, and don't care about what other people may think of you. Your body is YOURS and yours alone, therefore it should please only you. Whatever that may mean for you. For me, this has always meant that I am toned up, and able to keep up with things and to generally be                                                     healthy. 

So about a month ago I joined Total Fitness and just over 2 weeks ago, I started working out and exercising. I do this both at the gym and also from home; that way if there is a day when I know there is no chance I will make it to the gym due to work or uni, I still get a workout. I tend to do 2-3 days in a row where I will exercise, and then have a day rest and then go again with the 2-3 days working out. And after just 2 weeks I have actually noticed a difference! Not only do I feel much better about myself and within myself, in every way, I have noticed a difference physically. My stomach has tightened up and my legs and arms appear to be toning up nicely as well. I still feel I have a long way to go until I am fully satisfied, but at least I know this is working for me!

This has not all just been happening because I have been doing more exercising - although it is obviously a key thing. But I have also changed my eating habits. I still eat everything I want to eat; chocolate, sweets, etc, but I have just started to cut back ever so slightly so that they are not the main things that I eat, like I used to. Now, as I said, I still eat those - which is great - but I also eat everything else too; Meats, Proteins, Carbs, Fats, Sugars, Fruits etc... everything, but in a more balanced way. Everything in moderation. Instead of just consuming and focusing on one. The truth is, your body needs a bit of everything! So I'm giving it a bit of everything, and burning off the calories on working off the things that are no good.


I have to say, my favourite new part of my changed diet and fitness lifestyle is the smoothies! My mum bought me a blender a few months back. It is just a simple, cheap one from Asda, and I love it! It is great for just blending a load of fruit, fruit juices and yoghurt together to make a simple, healthy snack.

I am absolutely loving my new routine that I have got into, and I plan on keeping it up for as long as I can. The main reason I wanted to start doing this was to tone up again - I used to be really toned - for when I get my next tattoo, as it is going to be quite a big one and so I want it to fit my body really well, but I want my body to look good and in shape for the tattoo to fit really well. That is the primary reason I wanted to exercise and tone up again, however just from spending two weeks doing it and already seeing some differences and feeling some changes, I feel this is something that is just a good thing for me to do generally. And hopefully is something that I can keep up in order to maintain my figure and my balanced fitness routine and lifestyle.

It is definitely something I would encourage every one to do - however, only do it for reasons that are for YOU. Reasons that will make YOU happy and that will satisfy YOU.

Remember, your body is YOURS and you are all unique and beautiful. Do what makes you happy.

If you want to keep up to date with what I get up to and what products I use, outfits I wear, diet and fitness routines I follow etc, then check out and follow my Instagram! I only get a chance to sit down and write a blog once every few weeks or so for now, until I finish my degree, then I plan to throw myself into blogging and I am even hoping to launch my YouTube channel in June once Uni is finished and exams are all done. So for now my Instagram is the most up to date way of keeping up with me.
Check it out and give me a follow :)

Yves Saint Laurent Make Up Class...

Hello Beauties!

As it has been just over a week since my last blog, I thought I would make sure I did another one today! :) Hurray! Quite a lot has happened over the past week or so, but one thing that I really wanted to share with you, briefly; is my experience attending a small Make Up class put on at Yves Saint Laurent in Browns of Chester (Debenhams), that took place on Friday. I signed up to attend this class just over a month before it was due to happen, and it was thanks to the lovely lady who serves me usually at the YSL counter, when I usually go to buy the lipsticks from the Rouge Volupte and Rouge Volupte Shine ranges. So, yeah, it is thanks to her that I was able to get involved. It was not just any ordinary Make Up class, however... It was presented by another lovely lady - whom I was ever so privileged and very honoured to meet - Emma Armitage, who is the regional Make Up Artist for YSL! It was such an honour to not only meet her, but to also be her model for the class, and to get my make up done by her, as well as receiving many tips and advice from her. What an amazing opportunity! I loved every second of it.
For this session, all I had to do was sit in the chair and let Emma demonstrate different techniques and products to the rest of the group. It was very relaxing and such a treat getting my make up done for a change! At the end of it, Emma and the rest of the staff at the YSL counter consulted everyone individually about their personal preferences when it came to makeup and skin care, and advised what products to buy. We were all treated to goody bag at the end of the session, in which were many treats from the YSL products. This was definitely one of the best afternoons I had ever had, being well and truly spoiled and pampered by such a high end name in the fashion and make up industry. And another best thing is that Emma checked out my Instagram page and followed me, and asked me along to all her future events that she does in Chester at the YSL counter. It's all super exciting and I am even more excited about her next visit following her return from Paris with YSL in the Summer.
       

Above is a photo of myself and Emma after the class and to the right is a photo of all the products I received in my YSL goody bag, most of which were products that Emma used for her demonstration on me. How beautiful are these products!? I cannot wait to use them and test them all out. There will indeed be reviews of each products posted on here as well as on my Instagram "estiloefashion" and soon on my YouTube channel which will hopefully be launched in June. Exciting times ahead!

If there is anything you want to see me blog about or any videos you want me to do for when I do launch on YouTube, please don't hestitate to contact me! Also check out my other pages!

So I May Have Gone Shopping Today...

Oh no! It's happened again! Every time I finish work and it is at a time where there are still a few hours of the working day left for the rest of town to be open, I seem to find myself more and more in the same situation. I clock out of work, get my bag checked and say goodbye to everyone and walk out of the store with the intention of being home within a few minutes. However more and more recently, I have found myself crossing the road and in a beautiful palace surrounded by luxuries and shiny, colourful products that my eyes are constantly drawn to. This place makes me feel like I'm at home, surrounded by absolutely everything and everyone I love in the world, and I get a feeling of contentment and happiness being there. Everyone looks at me, calling me into their area. And all the big names that bring everyone a sense of comfort because they are well known just surround and welcome me home. I never want to leave. This place is magical...

This place, this palace, is Debenhams. Browns of Chester. A department store.

So yes, I do indeed have an arguably "unhealthy" obsession with shopping, being in stores and buying products. Mainly clothes and beauty products. Hence this blog and the whole deal with Estilo e Fashion. To share with the rest of you my passion and to explore that industry on a more personal level.

To end, here are some images of the products that I have purchased today...

Rouge Volupte Shine lipstick by Yves Saint Laurent, Shade number 4 "Rouge in Danger.

This item usually costs £25.00, both in store and online, however, today I spent £20.00 on it as I had points on my Debenhams Beauty Club Reward card that totaled to £5.00. So I managed to spend less than I would usually have on it and the lovely lady who served me on the counter even gave me a free "Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils" Baby Doll Mascara. I think it must be a sample one but it was still free! She is such a lovely lady. 

Anti- Blemish Solutions 3-Step System kit by Clinique. 

This kit costs £30.00 and consists of 3 Anti-Blemish Solutions that as of now will be a part of my daily skin care routine. It is a 3-step system for all skin types that is (standard of the Clinique brand) "Allergy tested and 100% fragrance free", and consists of: 

1. Anti-Blemish Solutions Cleansing Foam 50ml. This solution is a deep cleaner and so is step one of cleansing the face completely. 
2. Anti-Blemish Solutions Clarifying Lotion 100ml. This solution is used for step two which unclogs pores.
3. Anti-Blemish Solutions All-Over Clearing Treatment 30ml, which is step three. This final solution is designed to treat and clear up blemishes. 

I have not used these products yet, as I have only just bought them, but I have been highly recommended them by friends and other beauty bloggers on my Instagram and Twitter, and I cannot wait to try them out. I will definitely post up a review of them in the next few weeks. 

To complement the Anti-Blemish Solutions 3-Step System kit, I also purchased the Anti-Blemish Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel, once again by Clinique. 

This product costs £14.00 for 15ml and is designed to work both on its own and alongside the above products. It is designed not only to clear current blemishes upon application but also to prevent new blemishes forming. Fingers crossed this will work for me!

So after all that, I'd say today's shop was a very successful one. As mentioned before, as I have not yet tried these products yet due to only being recommended them and having only just purchased them, I will make sure I have reviews of them up on here and hopefully in the next few months on my YouTube Channel as well - which I plan to launch sometime in June. Until then, please continue to check out my blog here, and check out my Instagram page and my Twitter page. Also I would love to hear what you guys think of my blog and the things that you would like to see me posting on Instagram, Twitter and YouTube in the near future, and what you would like to see me writing about.

Start of something new...

Hello lovelies!

So this is my new blog for Estilo e Fashion, and this is my first post! Basically, in this post I just want to introduce Estilo e Fashion and what and who we are and then to take it all from there.

As you can hopefully see in my bio and if you have looked at the information on my profile, Estilo e Fashion is basically all about Style and Fashion. 'Estilo' is the Portuguese word for 'Style', and 'Fashion', well, I'm assuming if you're reading this and understanding, you know what 'Fashion' entails. The story behind this name is, because I am interested and enthusiastic about fashion generally, as well as beauty and health, I wanted to start expressing myself through any means I could, and exploring these things. I wanted to build up a portfolio of images of the things I love and the things that inspired me in this area, and after discussing with a friend, Estilo e Fashion was born - initially as an Instagram account and now with the intention to expand to other social networks and as you can now see, a blog. Hopefully overtime these will all develop into my own business. I chose to go for "Estilo" meaning "style" as it covers anything from in beauty from make up to nails to skin care to hair to reviews to ... Well anything. And combining with fashion just creates the perfect label of everything I aim to explore. What of the Portuguese? .. Well, I love the language, I am trying to learn it and it just sounds so ... Beautiful.

So, a very brief introduction here to what I am all about. I would love to hear feedback from anyone who reads this, and I would love to know what you all want to hear from me.

I am hoping to expand to youtube in the next few months and do make up tutorials, reviews of products, and anything else you guys may want to see - I would very much appreciate it if you let me know. Hit me up either by emailing me on the contact me link, or on Instagram or Twitter - which would be amazing if you could check out and follow and help me get the ball rolling with all this!

Love always
