Who I am!



WHO I AM

I feel like the time has come for me to tell you just exactly who I am. My name is Lily and I love makeup for one reason and one reason only. I have a disability you can't always see it and in pictures I may look normal but in real life I can look completely different. For years I have tried to shy away from the camera and I used to hate take pictures of myself because of the way I looked. However behind all that I am still me a 21 year old who just loves makeup because I can use makeup as a shield to hide who I really am and show the more confident side of me. I started this blog just over six months ago and I was afraid of showing the world who I really but you know what behind the foundation and the mascara I'm like everybody else I still have the same dreams and goals. I am who I am and no one can change and you know what I don't want them to. I have cerebral palsy which means my limbs don't work probably and I may talk funny but you know what I really couldn't care less.

The Evolution of my beauty habits

Image
So for a while now I've been meaning to get on the blogging band wagon but have been unsure how to as it's been quite a while. So I was going to do a favourites to explain what I have been using these past few months, however instead I thought I would talk about something that has been apparent to a lot of people and has been issue with quite a few friends of mine as well. Over the past few years the online beauty community has grown and grown. This is partly because anyone can set up a blog as long as you've got some sort of camera and access to the internet then you set up a blog. However with this growth means there are more and more people talking or writing about things that they have enjoyed or not. Depending on how many followers that person has can depend on how far that information travelled. This is partly how we get "hype up" products because the more and more people that talk about this one product mean the more and people who then want to go buy...

Always remember where we came from

Image
Over the past couple of months I feel that my body has let me down in many ways. It made me ill out of blue which meant I had to build myself up again which I wasn't planning to do. However after doing this I've know realised what's important, after having this blog for nearly 6 years and posting about beauty and my story it's important to remember why I do what I do. I was at a family event yesterday, and after speaking to one of my relatives who actually reads this blog, I suddenly realised that I've kind of lost touch with why I do, what I do. My story is unique and I am very lucky to have a physical condition but still be able to do what I love. That's partly why I set this up in the first place, is to show that even through you have something that could potentially hold you back that doesn't mean that it should. Having cerebral palsy and epilepsy has had it challenges for sure, however it also shown me the strength I have. I think in the day and age...

An alternative to the tangleteezer....

Image
I've heard so many people talk about how much they love the Tangleteezer. So being a blogger I knew I needed to try it out. After trying it I didn't really get on with it. I understand the shape of it, is meant to fit nicely into your hand and make it easy to brush you hair. However I just found it really hard to grip to actually brush my hair.  So following this if you saw my post on friday you will know that I opened the Look Fantastic box for this month. Within this was the wet brush and after using it for a couple of days I find it so much easier to use. I think because it's an actual hairbrush but at the same glides through wet hair getting out any knots. You can get it from http://www.lookfantastic.com/brands/wet-brush.list  and it comes in all kinds of colours and designs. There is also a comb, paddle brush and a round brush within the range. I would really recommend this brand if you're looking for something to get out knots from wet hair.  The on...
