My obsession.

Why haven't I posted in ages? Is it because school has gone back and I'm already stressed out of my mind, or because my laptop charger blew up and I have no internet in my house. Both of these things are true, but not the full reason as to why I've been MIA.

I've been obsessed with Skins UK and literally have done nothing else but watch it. I'm talking 5 seasons in 3 days. 1st generation was my favourite and I really liked Fire and Rise. I kinda just moped around the house after, not really knowing what to do with my life. It definitely has become one of the best shows I've ever seen and I strongly encourage you see it if you haven't already.

It first aired in 2007 with the original cast and then, after 2 years and 2 seasons, they changed the lead characters completely. They did this again for season 5 and 6, then came back this year for season 7 where they brought back original characters from the first 2 generations.

It's a great show that is iconic to a generation and I really love it so much. Sorry for the lack of posts lately but I promise I will start trying more. I already want to rewatch it again but I will control myself haha.

Talk to you soon,

Common White Girl Tag

                                                                                                                                                                                

Hello everyone! So I am currently on school holidays (finally!) which means there will deffo be more posts regularly... maybe. 

I went to the One Direction Take Me Home concert last night and had so much fun! I had managed to make a fool of myself as predicted by screaming out OTP in a moment of impulse when Niall and Liam were being silly and everyone went quiet, the boys heard and just shook their heads.. awkward.  Poor Louis lost his voice but the overall concert was fantastic and we also got to see 5SOS, which was awesome. They played all our fave songs and they're doing Australia proud <3 

Right, now that was said, let's get in with the tag! This tag has been circulating the interwebs and sounds pretty fun.. This tag is not meant to offend anyone, just to make fun of the stereotypes surrounding the 'common white girl'

Let's start!

7. How many tweets do you have?
About 128 tweets 

8. Instagram, Twitter or Tumblr?

Instagram is good for selfies, Twitter is good for celeb stalking and Tumblr is good for fangirling... I CHOOSE TUMBLR

9. What do you spend most of your time doing?
Watching YouTube videos and reblogging GIFs on Tumblr.. I'm being completely serious

No, not really

No, but my mother does and it's creepy o.o

17. What are your average grades in school?

How To | Deep Clean Your Makeup Brushes

                                                                                                                                                       

Hey all! Yesterday I decided to deep clean my makeup brushes for the week ahead when I thought I might make a blog post/ tutorial on how I complete this sometimes excruciating process haha

Here we go!

Step 1. Lay all your dirty brushes out on whatever bench or table you're working on

Step 2. Decide what you're going to wash them with! I use Herbal Essences Drama Clean shampoo because it really scrubs them clean and also smells heavenly. You could use any brush cleanser, mild shampoo or baby shampoo, whatever works for you!

Step 3. Take your brush and wet it under the tap. Make sure to never hold it upright or water will seep into the glue holding the handle and break the brush

Step 4. Once the brush is wet, put a small amount of cleanser, detergent or shampoo onto the back of your hand or a paper towel. I use the back of my hand but it can get quite painful if you are cleaning alot of brushes. Swirl the brush around in small circles until all the built up product is gone

Step 5. Once it is clean set it on a paper towel or flannel and wait until dry. I like to leave mine overnight but they can be dry a few minutes, depending on the type of the brush (*TIP: Check on them every once in awhile and reshape them, especially if you are not using BrushGuards, as powder and blending brushes tend to misshapen easily)

Step 6. Make sure they are completely dry and viola! Enjoy your clean, good-as-new brushes! (In case you're wondering, you can get this brush holder here)

Hope you enjoyed and this helped you a little, talk to you guys soon :)
