L I F E S T Y L E | My Art Work.

This is a bit of a random one for me to put on my blog, and while I am aware that some of you might not be interested in the slightest, I just thought it would be nice for me to share something that I absolutely love doing, and have done since I was a little girl. 

I love doing art work. I did art throughout school and even carried it through to my A-Levels. If it didn't have such an unclear career path I would have taken a degree in it too, without a doubt! I think it's always important for someone to have some form of a hobby that can just relax you and take your mind off of all of the other problems that might be going on in your life, and for me that is art. I enjoy sitting for hours on end just painting, drawing whatever it might be. 

Personally I love painting in oils, sometimes acrylics but not as much, I love oil pastels and most of all graphite pencils. I haven't really done any in what seems like a while but I am currently working on quite a big piece for me to have framed and put in my room at uni, I shall reveal when I finally finish it, it's a long process haha!

Anyway before I ramble any more, here is some of my work from over the last three years. A lot of it was for my A-Levels so excuse the running theme haha.






Hope this was slightly interesting

B E A U T Y | Urban Decay Perversion and Subversion Mascara Review.



I'm back!! Apologies for my absence for however long it has been, life has just taken over recently, but never the less, here I am!

I have recently been doing quite a lot of shopping, and I'm loving it, my bank balance... not so much, woops. So I took a trip to Meadowhall with my mother dearest, and I had heard such amazing things about this mascara. Now I'm really not the kinda girl that enjoys spending a lot of money on things such as mascaras just because they're not as pretty as lipsticks and blushers and all that. However, the woman at the Urban Decay stand was like would you like to try the new mascara out, it would have been rude to say no. Right? Well anyway, I fell in love.



This is quite honestly one of the best mascaras I have ever tried, and I have been through a lot! Mainly drugstore ones but I have also recently tried the 'Benefit They're Real' mascara and honestly, I wasn't a lover of it, especially for the price, I found it dried out really fast. 

It comes with two separate parts, which as an introductory offer they did a full size mascara and a tester primer for £17 which isn't bad. Normally though they are going to be £15 each.. I think? 

So firstly you put the Subversion primer on, which looks terrifying, honestly I look like I have conjunctivitis when I put it on haha. But this claims to make your lashes 'longer, thicker and stronger', which honestly I think it lives up to! Compared to just wearing a regular mascara it just seems to make such a difference, it separates your lashes and just makes the application of the mascara so much better.


So once you have applied the primer, you go on with some of the Perversion mascara. I recommend doing this when the primer is still a bit wet. The photo above is just with one coat of the mascara. Considering I have small lashes to start with the difference is great. The mascara claims to make your lashes 'bigger, blacker and badder', which it really really does. The formula of the mascara is really wet, which I tend to love in a mascara, I've had this for a couple of weeks now and it still has no signs of drying out which is fantastic!


And here is the final outcome! I can't stress how much I love this product. I 100% recommend you go purchase one for yourself and give it a try. Have a look for yourself here.

Have any of you tried it? What do you think?

B E A U T Y | Soap & Glory Haul and Review.


Okay, so I shopped.. again.  As I pointed out in one of my previous posts, here,I have been lusting after these items for so so long. I said to myself "just buy one today Hannah and then you can buy another one next week maybe". But no. As per usual, I have ZERO self control. I decided I would get the 'Archery' and 'Solar Powder' but when I got to the counter the lovely lady told me they were on 3 for 2 and I think I may have got a tad too excited. But yay, bonus!!



This is incredible!! I tend to really struggle to find a decent bronzer that suits my skin tone, because I am pretty pale and a lot of them make me look orange, which definitely isn't what I am aiming for. This is such a lovely subtle colour which is mainly matte but has a tiny bit of shimmer, which I'm not usually fond of but I don't know this has converted me! I have worn it everyday since I bought it and I will definitely repurchase this when it has gone. 



This really is a stunning little blush. The beauty of it though is that if you stick to the middle segments it can also be such a beautiful highlight for the brow-bones and the tops of the cheeks. I do love a good old multi-purpose product haha! This is going to be lovely for the winter months for a little flush of pink on the cheeks. 




There are quite literally no words that can express just how much I love this product. It is absolutely incredible! My brows have quite simply never looked so good. They make them look the perfect shape but fill them in so naturally. You first fill them in with the felt tip looking side which is a tint. I think that if you were in a hurry you could leave them like that and they would still look great! But then there is the retractable pencil side which just gives them the lovely shape with an arch. I will be buying this over and over and over again I can tell already. None of my other brow products are anywhere near as good as this little bad boy! It is also such a reasonable price.

Have any of you tried any of these products? What are your thoughts?

Pascal spends about 90% of his life sprawled out on my bed.

That is if you are even remotely interested haha! This is my room at home so a lot of my stuff is in my room at University. 

I love my room at home it's like my very own little haven.
