AUTUMN LIPS.

21/9/2015

My second Autumn based post of the year is here! In fact, this is my second Autumn based post so far, wow, I feel like Liv's Beauty Spot has been running for longer than that.
Any way, onto the topic, one of my favorite things about Autumn is that colors around us change drastically, the leaves, trees plants, flowers.
Everything seems to become slightly deeper and more scarce, I have four different lip colors that I'm going to be sharing with you today that I think are perfect for this time of the year.

Overall it's a good seasonal lippy for a nice night out, it would also probably go really nicely with green eyes!

Our first option is...
'Pure color 08 Plum Divine SHIMMER Gloss', by Estee Lauder.
This is a lovely deep purple color that I received in a multi buy purchase.
It's smooth and glides on nicely, also it surprisingly actually does smell like plum!

Next up we have a lipstick and liner duo, the color theme I went for here was deep brown with a hint of redness.
I think this look would be really good on someone with blonde hair as it will complement the lightness of their hair really nicely.

Our next little Autumn charmer is this lovely deep red lip gloss with a similar colored (but a bit darker) lip liner.
The lip gloss is sheer but still rather pigmented for a gloss, so perfect if you are going for something in the middle.
The liner isn't a necessity however it gives your lips more definition and blocks the gloss from flooding out of your lip line.
A lovely lip look if you are going for something subtle and sheer.

Our final lip look is my all time favorite, A dark red lipstick with a matching liner.
I love to wear this on a night out because it really is the one and only show stopper lip look all on you.
If you want to go all out and look fab then this is your chance.

I hope that you liked this Autumn lips edition, I will probably be posting more Autumn themed editions because I just love it when seasons change and basically the whole world changes around you.

EIGHT REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD START A DIARY.

18/9/2015

1 Comment

Diaries, one of my favorite hobbies is to keep a diary. If it wasn't for diary keepers such as Anne Frank we would know much less on the personal side of history.
I love keeping a diary, I especially love writing in my diary when I'm feeling glum, for some reason it always gives me a little 'pick me up.
Today I am going to be listing eight reasons why you should keep a diary:

1) Keeping a diary helps you to improve your writing skills which helps with internet communications and persuasive language etc.
2) You have something to look back on in your future to remember memories, when I read my old diaries it always puts a smile on my face :D
3) It's therapeutic! Many people find that writing their thoughts and feelings down makes them feel much more relaxed and less tense. The good thing about telling your diary everything is that it's not going to go whisper your secrets to someone else!

4) Diaries come in all sorts of different shapes, sizes and styles. So you can find the perfect one to suit you. For example if your always on the go travelling you can pick a cute mini one like the little A5 journal in my pictures.
5) it's really comforting to write in a diary snuggled up in bed with a creamy hot chocolate topped with marshmallows!
6) Record special events or your 'very first experiences' so that if your memory slips a little you know that you can refer back to one of your old diaries and remember everything about it again.

7) You can create cute look books from magazine cut-outs and in the future look back and realise how bad your fashion sense really was.
8) For writing achievements into and adding certificates/ pictures.

I hope you liked this edition about why you should keep a diary, and let me know in the comments what you think the best thing is about keeping a diary.

New Season...New Skincare!

17/9/2015

Hello everyone, here we are... another season, once again. Turning from warm rays of sunshine to cold icy storms.
Now, as we may know the weather conditions tend to change when seasons change. As we are moving into august and it's starting to get a little bit colder we may, start wearing our beanies instead of our flower garlands, or coats instead of cardigans.
But, What about skincare?
I have put together some of the perfect items throughout skincare that will keep us nice and nourished ready for the cold!

The items selected here are creamy, nourishing and leave your skin as smooth as a babies bottom! Five out of six of the items are perfectly affordable too.
So, now... I'm going to talk about each individual skincare product and how they will keep you going through Autumn and Winter

First up we have Soap & Glory's 'Sugar Crush' fresh and foamy body wash, lime scented.
I love this body wash because it is so creamy but still fresh at the same time.
It keeps your skin nice and soft with it's skin softening omega-rich veggie oil, but fresh and zingy with it's lime oil and kiwi juice water.
I simply rub this body wash all over my body and rinse it away, fro that fresh brand new feeling.
I buy this body wash from boots for £6.50 and it's a massive bottle of 500ml.
It's just simply the ZEST!

My next little savior is Vaseline's 'Spray & Go' body moisturizer in aloe fresh.
I use this moisturizer straight after washing and in the mornings ready for a smooth day!
I particularly love this moisturizer because it takes seconds to apply and rub in. You don't even have to dip your finger in the pot, because... well... there is no pot! It's designed as a deodorant bottle and all you have to do is spray on the contents.
It's a triple layer moisturizer and stops those nasty dry patches appearing on your skin!
I buy this again from boots for £5.99, it doesn't really last very long considering you get 190ml, but is still super fab and definitely worth it!

Next up we have these two adorable little lippies from a brand called 'B Skincare', all of their items are handmade in cornwall and I have kindly been sent to feature these cuties on my blog.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK!

2/9/2015

Recently I have changed my attitude to pretty much everything, I used to be worried about what everyone thought of me and paranoid that people were talking about me.
It took me a long time to realize that, I shouldn't care what people think about me, I am who I am, I look how I look and I don't want to change myself for anyone, and neither should you!

I still follow trends such as Starbucks but that's because I want to and not because of what people will think of me.
I understand that there will still be mean people or bullies, but they are everywhere you go, you just have to ignore it and move on with your life.
Focus on studies and things that make you happy.
Show everyone that you just simply couldn't care less what they think.
As long as you enjoy who you are and what you do, don't worry about what people think and if you have any problems and want some advice,contact me in the contact page.

I really hope this helped, I know it's hard to do, it took me three years to realize this and I am so incredibly glad that I did.
Share and like this, so that everyone can see this, I would be so happy if this just helped at least one person in he slightest.
Liv xoxo
