First Base

My everyday make up routine

Clinique anti-blemish all over cleansing treatment - this product has saved my skin during these harsh winter months, not only from fighting blemishes, but hydrating my dry skin and has made it way into my top products of all time.

Benefit they're real push up liner - Gel liner is very difficult to master if your a beginner as it's incredibly hard to get off unless you like to walk around made up to resemble the Joker in that case you do you but if you are just starting out in make up I wouldn't recommend this particular liner and try felt tip liners instead to start you off .

Maxfactor False lash effect - The only brown mascara in my collection thats really good for those minimal or no make up days I also like to use it to set my brows.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic foundation - Decadence in a bottle, if there is one luxury item that you are willing to dip into you savings for this foundation is the creme de la creme of base products that offers a flawless coverage.

Yves Rocher Sculpt brush - Great tool for any body who loves make up paired with any cool toned brown shadow or bronzer. 

Clinique anti-blemish liquid make up - perfect light foundation that you could wear on its own or 

to build up and then apply a more high coverage foundation over the top.

Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick- Bitch perfect is a cool toned pink that will take you from day to night.

What I Hate About Nights Out : Contains Swearing

A night out to me isn't about Alcohol,The room full of people or even the music its the process of putting on my make up,slipping into a tight little black dress an putting on my highest heels surrounded by my friends and being myself not some unrealistic version of me. I don't go out a lot but when I do these are the things that generally piss me off

1. The ridiculously overpriced entry fee does that include my own personal robot that will hold my coat remember my ID and make sure I get home safe (yeah I didn't think so).
2. The Drinks I don't like do overindulge as I find it makes people stupid but costing an arm and leg for one fucking amaretto and coke in a half pint glass is extortionate.
3. Girls dancing as if they're on a stripper pole (Just Stop)
4. (This point annoys me with  a deep fiery passion) Drunk men trying to follow me around when I'm with my friends then you walk over slurring your shitty chat up lines at me and thinking that its okay to grab my ass ( I made the effort but I didn't do it for you I did it for me.)
5. when my favorite song comes on but I'm in the checking that my make up is still on or I'm readjusting my dress in the bathroom
6. seeing an ex
7. seeing your mortal enemy
8. calling the taxi every five minutes to see where it is

I love getting in the taxi when we arrive home clutching our heels in our hand as I turn the key in the door shh-hing them as we awkwardly ascend the stair case trying not to wake anyone and we end up talking for several more hours until one or all of us falls asleep

Director: Russell Mulchahy 

Cast :Christopher Lambert ,Clancy Brown,Sean Connery and Roxanne Hart 

In 1985 an Immortal Connor McLeod

Immortals have being dueling for centuries to win  "The prize" ,in the parking garage MacLeod is confronted by a fellow Immortal the two proceed to fight with MacLeod decapitating his opponent which sends a powerful surge though McLeod

   Flash back to 16th century Scotland Connor and his Clan are preparing for battle against the Fraser's Connor heads in to battle only to be wounded by a cold blooded barbarian immortal known as The Kurgan Immortals can only die by decapitation (so don't lose your head)

with McLeod forced to live a lonely and existence wondering through the centuries flash forward  to New York city 1985 as gathering starts to approach then the final battle for immortality begins
