A Change of Heart

Dear Past,

Thanks for all the lessons,

I find myself sat here thinking of all the experiences I've been through in my life which have helped me to become a stronger person. I've realised that no relationship is perfect and each one can have it's ups and downs. I think the one thing I've found it knowing when a relationship is worth fighting for and which ones are doomed from the beginning.

In order to maintain a healthy relationship you need to do fun and exciting things together that you both enjoy, spending quality time together and enjoying every moment like its your last. I am only 19 years old but I like to think I am very mature for my age and like most teenagers we have all had our hearts broken once which leads me to think, a key rule to success is showing each other how much you care and love each other on a day to day basis. Making sure you communicate is something I've figured will also keep you both on the same page, knowing how each other are feeling weather that's good or bad!

From a family members experience in relationships it shows me that the best relationships go through the bad times and come back stronger than ever, that's a kind of love that is meant to be. Relationships are a two way thing its always good to be able to comprise with one another, I'm not saying change who you are but sometimes you change a little in a relationship to make sure it works.

I've understood that some relationships are never meant to be and that sometimes you have to let that relationship slowly drift away in order to grow and learn from your mistakes. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and you have to take these steps in life to lead you to the next chapter of your life.

I am in a relationship I'm still learning from I'd like to think I've found the right one, but if there's one thing I would say about life is you never know what's around the corner. I've realised I should always go with my gut instinct as I am normally right.

This is a short post about a few things, but it is a turn in my blog I'd like to branch out too because I'd love to give advice and tips about any sort of relationships and life lessons.

Dear Future,

I'm ready.

A complimenting contour palette

Seventeen Contour Palette | Real Techniques Bold Metallics 

Yes I am back and blogging, whilst I've been away this a new favourite I couldn't wait to show you all! 

Seventeen have brought out a two colour contour palette, which I was really excited to try out! This palette is great for getting a light natural look, which I found I love to use on a day to day basis. I decided to purchase a new contour brush to see which type of brush works best for this palette. I am a huge lover of real techniques brushes, you really get the best for what they are worth. I found the palette itself applied lovely, however it takes a few strokes to bring out the colour of the bronzer. The tone of bronzer looks darker than how it actually appears on your skin. A tip I would give whilst using this product would be to apply a primer before hand to get that lasting look. The highlighter is amazing for concealing your foundation, it really brings out the areas best to lighten. I love to apply this on the my forehead, nose, under my eyes and chin this highlighter is lasting throughout the day. Seventeen palette is a great little palette to keep in your bag everyday its a small product but creates a magic look.

The real techniques contour brush I used is 301 flat contour which I found defines your cheek bones and gives you a glowing look. I found when using this brush it didn't have the soft feel its slightly tougher, but this is the reason you get a concentrated contour. I also used my mac contour angled 168 brush to use seventeen bronzer which I felt gives you a lighter contour and a more natural look. This brush is great to shade out any lines and to blend your contouring. I definitely recommend both brushes both create that perfect finish.

Have you tried out this contour palette?
