MAKE UP: four eyes freak

I thought id so something completley different here in pink is the new perfect, as you see im not technical and the lay out of this post is going to be different to the other as i wanted to mix it up abit. Anyway they will be taken as selfies as im not ao technical with everything just yet and it just something different again.  This is going to be a new series which will be aired on my blog every sunday at 11:30, so watch this space. Hope you like it. 

This looks is probably my favourite, its abit of a Kylie Jenner look with her famous nude lip which i am loving latley. Over the last couple of weeks iv been working my way though foundation and found my self loving bobbie brown, as im just bought a new mac one im such the type if person who will change the foundation on a daily basis because u just love the different looks they give me!

On to the powders of the face, i have been loving the new make up revolution sugar and spice blush pallette. , the colour and pigmentation is amazing, and the highlight and blush just go perfect together, totally my october favourate of this month! For the bronzer is a mixture between the soup and glory and the bobbie brown, they are such good products, when i got out, out then i contour my face with the bobbie brown they blend the rest of my face and the contour out with soup and glory, succh teo amazing products which i find so perfect. With my eyes im using the make uo revolution pallette, yet again they are making my want to wear them all the time, their products wow me and its such a dupe of the naked palettes by urban dexay, but i still love them more. 

I hope you like this new and exiting thing which is happening on pink is the perfect? Let me know in the comment, thanks for reading.

LIFE: horse of the year show 2014










Last weekend i headed down to Birmingham for the horse of the year show, if you are a keen horse lover like me this will probably be as exited as i am about reading it as i am writing this post. If most people will know horse of the year show is when new comers come into like in a show jumping and showing event and i love ever single minute of it. I wont ramble on about it all because i know how boring it may be for non horse lovers and all that. 

I first set if down to Birmingham from Sheffield on Saturday afternoon, we saying in soilihul where there was a lovely shopping centre called touchwood. When we got there we went for a meal at giraffe, i do have to say this is probably the most negative part of the weekend and i hated the meal, but all can not be well can it? On sunday this is where the day i had been waiting for came along! We got up had a lovely english breakfast at the hotel then we ventured over to the event. I did have high expectations of what sort of shops there would be and OH MY, i felt like i have died and gone to heaven. Everything you could ever want could be there and 2 massive rooms were filled with such amazing stuff and produce which was all to die for. If i has won the lottery i would i bought the hole thing basically. I watch some amazing people which i knew and didn't who will go on to success in the future and j cannot wait for next year to see what the brings, and to enjoy the same experience all over again. I just cannot wait for the next up coming events this year and next.

BEAUTY: make up revolution lips



1 POUND LIPS YOU SAY? I POUND LIPS? yes you heard right make up revolution lipsticks are 1 pound! When i heard about this i was so skeptical about how the quality was going to be, but by my i don't think ill by buying any mac lipsticks in these colours in a while. When it comes to make up I'm a bit of a snob wanting the high end expensive one, is it just me? anyway, now iv been introduced to the world of this cheap and very very cheer full make up,i must say I'm swooning over it all. 

As i normally spend over £12 for a good lipstick i am now wondering if its worth the money as i could buy 12 of these for just that one. I am so exited to wear these shade and see how they look as I'm the new lover of lipstick now over the year of 2014. Over all I'm pleased with the price, quality and colour of these.

On the blogging side of things I am hoping to start showing more make up looks over this month and see how it goes, as I'm wanting to show more of how my make up is and I'm becoming such a addict, anyway let me know how you feel about that, let me know in the comments. Thanks for reading.

BEAUTY: Sleek new eye brows



As most of my friends and family may be aware of, my eyes brows have to be a certain way, i try out every product in every colour to find the one i love the most! Right now i am loving the sleek eyebrow palette in light. I had seen this brand in super drug i though id try it out as id seen a few reviews about it, for the price i was so amazed, by far the best colour i have found yet. When i am normally looking for an eyebrow colour they are mainly pretty dark and quite reddy this has no hint of red in. It comes with a gel one and a powder, for me i don't use pencil and i don't use gel because in my opinion they don't work for me and they don't leave my eye brows how i like them. Although these times are changing and this gel is the perfect consistency to make them look natural and sleek on your face without being to "overpowering'. Over all i love this product and will be using it till it run outs, actually I'm going to make that my task, because iv never used anything up, so yeah I'm going to do that. 

Yes as i was saying i love this product, i love how it sits on your skin and the way its so flexible on how you use it, this is one product i would go and tell you to buy buy buy, because if your like my and your eyes brows have to be on point then you will love this product to pieces. Also if your wondering how picky i am with my eye brows, when i go out of have my make up done i have to do my own eye brows with my own products or i will not go anywhere (oppps). So have you liked anything this month in the eyebrow department or have anything you'd like to recommend? Thanks for reading lovelys!

BEAUTY: The Yorkshire soup co




Hello my lovelies, its been sooo long since i did my last blog post, nearly a month, but im back and written up all my blogposts now i just need to take the pictures. Personal stuff have come up in my life and blogging had to be out aside for abit but im back so watch this space. Today im talking about the most beautiful soups known to this planet which is the yorkshire soup co, their soups are amazing and look so edible like little cakes! When i first walked into this shop i was like "wow" the smell hit you in the face and then its just blew you away, walking about the shop looking at these massive cakes of soup, i just had to get my hands on some! 

Because the are so pretty i don't want to use them due to them being beautiful, and perfect, but i have such a lovely thing of which im going to do at christmas and then i will have to use them becausd i want to see if their beautiful scent will match up to their beautiful pressence in my bedrook side, which fills my room with a gorgeous smell, more than whats a air freshioner can do for sure! I have some to the conclusion that its going to have to give me such tempration and paid to ruin something so cute. I dont know how they do this but who actually knew soups could look so edible? Because there so small, they can be perfect for a birthday pressent plus for £9 for a box you really cannot go round when you look about £20 for box! 

Have any of you ever tried out some of thsse, if you have tell me so it can give me more tempration to use them ratger than the smell everything i open then box just to look at the and smile! Thank for reading lovelies.

LIFE: Weekend Round Up


Hello to all my lovely readers and welcome to my blog! Today i thought id go out there and do a different post to what id normally do and go for a weekend round up, this is going to be from thursday to, today, (well yesterday) this blog post was suppoesed to be going up yesterday but i havent even had time to sit near a tv? So where shall we get started? Oh thursday! 

Thursday: 
This day was brilliant, the sun was shinning so i though what a wonderful way to put my self in a better mood was to go on a hack (take your horse on the roads) was so relaxing and i came with a massive smile on my face with glee and joy on how well she was and how the weather had gone, just out my in a sunch a smiley mood all day! I also ventured into boots and got my self the number 7 like cleaner wash thing (dont know what itd called) i didnt want to rush into buying the massive brand so i thought that i may as well buy something cheap and then buy the more expensive one, but to be honest im loving it, and for 25 pound? Bargin or what? Plus it has 2 settings but i wont dabble on as a review will be up and running soon enough! 

Saturday:
This day was a MAD rush, althought i dis end up buying some lovely beauty products to which im so exited to try out plus i have so many products to tell you about so they will be included in this as well, but i brought the boots own brand and im abit iffy on trying it, as iv heard 0 reviews and tbh i never though they did anything like this before but im venturing on the unknown! 

Sunday: 
This day has to be one of the best days ever! I entered my first show jumping show if the year and iv let her graise all over summer, and whats can i say this little pocket rocket of a pony is blummin amazing, come out with so many rosettes and a SASH! Honestly the most honest pony known to made even if she is moody? But im guessing they always say their owner are like there animals, but im not as moody as her! (Id be slightly worried if i was).

Monday: 
Yesterday, i started to focus on my flat work ready for the winter, and for all your horsey people which are out there you will all understand the joy of exitment when your pony/horse it being so dedicated to working in an outline! Such a hard working and honestly with the way shes working today and this weekend i cant wait for how the next 6 months are going to be! 

Have you done anything or tried out anything iv mentioned in the post? Plus i should of warned you about the horse but this is a lifestyle blog aswell so what the hell with it! Hope you all have has such a wonderfull weekend, because iv had an amazing one!

BEAUTY: All about ELF lips



Shocker, iv gone onto the ELF website and ordered MORE make up, yes im quith of this and i put my hands up but im seriously addicted to these lip stains because you can get them in so many colours! These have been my main ones with the pink i just tend to leave them or put some lipstick over the top as when that was worn off i get this lovely colour on my lips, with the brown i use this as a base then put a lin pencil all over my lips, make it beauty and matte. The reason which im a big fan of lip stains is that you can wear them and because they stain you are able to put a block colour over the top and there no need to top up through out the day worrying if its faided of if you are able to drink, its quick easy and simple! With the price of like £3 what can you go wrong, really? Its a perfect size for your bag and its will last your FOR AGERS as you only need to use the smallest amound possible, to achieve the look to desire. Another thing that caught my eye is that there is a gloss at the end of it, personally im not a fan of gloss as it always eneds up going in my hair... Never a good luck i must admit, so i tend to stay away from that end of the spectrum, but for other people its perfect its like a 2 in 1, and you get it to look how you want it.

Are you a fan of lipstains? Or do your prefect lipsticks and glosses?

BEAUTY: The body shop face


With part of body shop 3 for 2 offer yesterday, i had to pick up there bb cream, if you have read my posts over the last couple of weeks you will of found out that i have been using the elf tinter moisturiser, but as iv hit down back in the uk of my sunny holiday; i have found that my skin around my neck (as it never tans!!) is light as so it is my face. I actually might start fake tanning there because its really not right. Anyhoo! The moisturiser was abit to dark for me, so i poped in to get some argan oil for my hair and came across the make up, the lady was really lovely, but i couldnt understand a word she was saying so she probaby thought i was thick as dog poo. So here we have the all in one bb cream in shade 2 this is a really handy bb cream beacause you match it up to you and then it adapt to your skin colour which i find blumming amazing! As it was 3 for 2 i decided to pick up their primer. I use to use the nars one but iv stoped using that with only half the bottle left (not good). This one is matte and when i mean matte there not shine what so ever! Perfecf for if you have oily skin, its so thick and you can tell when you apply it you dont get any in your pores which is what i always look for! The wear if both of these are really good it gived such a naturalt finish to your skin and you can build it which is always a good thing to have because yoh never know whats your skin is going to be like from day to day. Plus these products go so well together, so you will mever fail to have perfect looking skin. Unless your me and have spit scars which are really visiable! (Sigh). I would really consider buying these if you have a bb cream just to try out of go for a tester in the store, if anyone has tried the argan oil from the body shop please tell me when you think of them because i am still yet to try it.

Plus more outfit posts are coming in september and iv got lots of shopping inbetween them so there will be loads of new clothes i will want to show you all.

REVIEW: Naked Palette



Hello, all my lovelies. As you all may know im currently on holiday and tbh iv had such a lot of spare time iv been itching to blog all the time! As you can tell the photos arent up to the usual standard as im taking them on my iphone but all will be ok as they seem to be turning of alright. 

Now today im going to be talking about the naked pallette, with all the hype around the new one thats been released i thought id do reviews on all 3 of them and then compare them in all on blog at the end like a mini series, but leas formal, this has been my staple eye shadow for my holiday and im loving it. When ever i buy a eyeshadow nothjng compares to the standard or colour of these beautiful things. Theres so many shades you can chose from depends on your skin tone, or what you are doing that day! I normally use the sin as my main base or if im going out for the day just use that colour as a base to brighten up my eye, or if im going out for a meal (like i am this holiday) then i will add virgin into the ends of my eye to brighen it more near my nose then add sidecar to the outter bits of my eye lightley (not that much) and they blend it all in with the elf blending brush, afterwards i then use creep to add a flick in the corner of my eyes just to elongate it abit, as i dont like to have it allover  my eye. You can create so many different looks from just this one palette which i love so much, plus it fits any occasion plus wear of these are amazing, and you will never find your self wanting to top these up theough of the day. I think people have forgotten about this particual one on the concept of buying it, but i honestly think this is one of the best buys i have ever brought! Plus i cant wait to post about the other 2 so that will be something to look forward to. 

Have you tried anything like these before, or have you got these one. What type of eye do you make from the colours? Id love to know. Thank for Reading.

REVIEW: elf Tined Moisturiser



Over the last coming year iv battled the troubles of my skin... As its getting better i have had to make various changes to my skin and what i put on it. This is resulting as how quickly it changes i am only using my other products about 10 times before changing it again. This one is new to me, iv actually never use a tinted moisturiser before this. When thinking of tinted i never really though it would give me a good coverage it would just look abit blotchy (if you get me) but i was looking on the elf website and thought id buy one for only less than £5! Bargain or what? As iv probably said in previous posts that my skins doesnt act very well to cheap products, but this completley different. I do have to put my bare minerals conceler underneath this but only to cover up some scars my spots have left but it so much nicer to have a light product on my face than foundation!

Although before i purchace another one of these im going to have to use is my mac foundation id previously brought before which does work wonders and is such a good coversage for such a small amount you need so that will be coming up in my blog some time soon! As it goes with elf make up iv definatly been buying some more when iv been away which will hopefully arive when i get back, which ja one of the baked blushes. Ive heard so much about these and i dont usually use blushes as i find there to pink in my skin but thjs peach colous seems just right into not being to over powering on my tanned skin. So i cant wait to share that with you! 

Have you tried any tinted moistisers from eyes lips face, or any others? Id love to know which ones are worth the money and will give me a good look into finding something better? But over all i give this product 10 thumbs up as for the prices is such an amazing quality!

FASHION: My ASOS Wishlist


To the back end of May I did I post to which was the shoes I was swooning over from ASOS and this blog post is back! I love it when people do these sorts of post and to me shoes are my favourite and what's the best way to look than ASOS? When you see people wearing something and they do a Wishlist or a outfit post it just get my so exited that I finally know where to find something I love! 

As the summer (or not so summer in Yorkshire) is coming to a dismal end I decided I wanted to find the shoes to which I love and which I'd got for my holiday and will be purchasing when I get back (especially number 3) ready for next years holidays! Some of these shoes are good for all year round I would say...unless it's snowing then wellies will probably be on the cards. You can pear then up with some frilly socks or have them bare foot depending on what weathers going to be coming your way! 

This is just a quick post while I am away, hope you all are having an amazing last 2 weeks of your summer break (I know I am)

LIFE: A New Beginning


Hello, I'm back and ready to blog!! Maybe not as I'm jetting of to sunny Spain in 2 days and still haven't even packed (cry). As you all may have noticed an absence  on your news feed, this is due to my running around like a headless chicken, plus to the fact that my blogger didn't even work while I was trying to do my post on the liebster award! So that will by up and running, after my holiday due to my having no time (sigh) so I do apologise. 

This is just a tiny update on what's been happening lately and the lovely new member to my horsey family. As people probably know from a past post I am a horse lover! So as it's something I love doing I would love to introduce the newest member of the gang! This is my beautiful filly (baby horse) which is only 1 years old, she's a Connemara x Warmblood, I must say she is so beautiful and when I saw her I couldn't not have her (cheeky I know). She so loving and genuine, and everything will be posted of here and on my Instagram Fran_Hurley on her progress and photos of the little beauty herself!

LIFE: Nan's 76th Birthday

























As we go through my journey of holiday, this on is special to me. This weekend i traveled out to sunny Portugal to see my family to celebrate my nan's birthday, honestly what i way to spend it. We spent these 4 days in Quinta Do Lago, oh my, although i spend 2 weeks out there last year i can't get over the amazing place every time go there. Anyhoo lets get back to the real reason i've done this post. Lets get started…Firstly we got up gave all the cards and said all the happy birthdays and gave the love and the cards + presents, after all that it became relaxing time (well for her) waiting on her hand and foot getting her anything she wanted while catching up on our golden tans and soaking up all the sun rays i could get before i headed off home the next day. After all of that relaxing it was time to go get ready and head down to a lake side restaurant which was purely beautiful, while over looking a beautiful clear lake which your looking at massive houses dreaming over a life there. Everything was beautiful down the entertainment, food and my family plus loads of laughs. 

Everything was so perfect, for a perfect lady. I honestly couldn't think of anything better to spend my nan's birthday, the one thing i couldn't get over was the price of the Caviar, seriously who pays that much for some fish eggs? haha. Have you been on holiday to the algarve or anywhere near there? or have you been on holiday this year? i'd love to know. Thanks for reading.

LIFE: Lanzarote Not Lanzagrote





























Hello all, a couple of week ago i jetted off to Lanzarote, before i went people said to me that when they went they didn't like it. But… that all changed when i hit down in Playa Blanca, this was honestly the best holiday ever. I wish i was there for longer but holidays have to end, as they do every year,  although it was cloudy that didn't stop the heat and the tan from coming. This holiday was so relaxing and i felt it was so well needed from everything that was going on that i had to get away. 

On this wonderful holiday, the best part was the views, everywhere you went there was something different to look at and take a sneaky picture off. I loved the people and the hotel, it was just my sort of style… Posh (opps..). I spend everyday relaxing and sunbathing while having some fantastic meals in the process, and visiting the market the second to last day, that was the most beautiful place every just packed with beautiful spanish products hand made, i wanted everything… even if they were tat. 

I am doing a holiday sort of story, as I'm going on 3 amazing holidays. Have you ever been to Lanzarote? or are you going on holiday? I'd love to hear if you've been going on holiday this year! Thank for reading lovelies. 

Heres my outfit post from my holiday
