Day 10 — Current fashion/style you like

My style is a funny mixture of many different things. I'd say in a nutshell it is a sort of classic style with girly, preppy, quirky, casual and edgy elements. I'm not specifically on trend but it can be a bit trendy at times simply by coincidence. 

It's actually quite funny because every time I go overseas I get into a different fashion item and then coincidentally once I get back home that fashion piece happens to be trending everywhere. It's quite funny and annoying to be honest haha. That happened with floral prints, varsity jackets and cowboy boots. 

But I like to mix various styles in an outfit with different pieces. For example, I love my classic skinny jeans and a white t-shirt that often I pair with a khaki statement jacket that has a tasteful amount of gold studded detailing and then a pair of brown cowboy boots. Or sometimes a floral singlet with my signature navy blazer. It's all very mix and match. I don't really shop for a generic thing, when I see something I like, I can feel it, it's a very instinctual experience for me. That's why I have a lot of scattered styles, I just see something and I know it'll work for me. 

But some of my fashion inspirations are definitely Emmy Rossum, Rachel Bilson, Lauren Conrad and Alexa Chung. I love Whitney Port's style but I've always found it a bit too out there for me. 

Day 09 — Your favorite pair of shoes

My favourite pair of shoes are these pair of red sandals from Country Road that I've had for a while and I wear them all the time. They're just so comfortable and match with everything!

Day 08 — A photo that makes you laugh

I can't help how hilarious this picture is. My best friends, Katie and Hannah and I spent the day playing around with those funny backgrounds on Photo Booth on the Mac and I just can't stop laughing at how stupid our expressions are and of course, where Hannah's hands are!

Day 07 — Your Favorite animal

My favourite animals are giraffes! I have quite a strange obsession with them, I don't know why. Maybe it's their fur pattern or the fact that they're so tall and don't compare to many other animals but I don't know. I've always loved them ever since I was little. I've had little giraffe statues in my room when I was younger and I've had a few giraffe teddies that I've loved dearly. My favourite is one that my best friend got me for my 16th birthday and I absolutely adore it, it's probably one of my favourite gifts that I've ever received.

Me and my giraffe pillow pet!

Although I do have a dilemma, I still don't have a name for this pillow pet. All my other teddies on my bed have names and I have worked out that this giraffe is going to be a girl, so any name suggestions?

Day 06 — Anything Hello Kitty

So I'm not the biggest fan of Hello Kitty, and I don't think I have any Hello Kitty things anymore. When I was little, I did have a few Hello Kitty things that I used and some were gifted to me but I wasn't obsessed or anything, I just thought it was cute. Now that I'm older, I don't really like it anymore and feel kind of meh with it. I really need an actual word for meh, because I feel that way about a lot of things. So if you know a more sophisticated word for that, please tell me hahaha.

Sorry I didn't have anything Hello Kitty to show, so I just discussed it. I know it's poor performance but I really didn't want to just skip this one.

Day 05 — Your favorite thing to do

Should probably get back to this challenge, I'm unbelievably behind, whoopsy daisy.

Anyway, my favourite thing to do is music. I couldn't just put it down to one thing. Music is one of the things that means most to me. Inside the big music category, I love to play the violin and play in ensembles, I play in 3 ensembles and our girls string quartet. I also love to play duets with my teacher, they're so much fun.

I love playing the guitar which is a more recreational instrument for me as I don't take lessons and it accompanies my singing too. I love to sing as well, I sing in two choirs at school and I honestly think they're pretty fun, especially chapel choir, who cares if the music isn't that cool? I like it.

I also love writing, that's one of the things that I'm proudest of because I never thought I could play guitar, let alone write songs. They're really personal for me and it lets me express things that I never could've said before without being ridiculed or just is like an open diary that is a little less obvious. Also I write songs of my singing with the guitar, just in case you didn't get that. I also love playing covers with my guitar, that's always fun.

And lastly of course, listening to music!

Day 04 — Your favorite foundation (Mini Reviews)

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF 15 in Warm Beige 3.5

This is my favourite conventional foundation for multiple reasons. First, in my opinion, it gives me the best natural finish but still covering imperfections, it has medium coverage. I just love how natural it feels, much like the way that the Chanel Vita Lumiere Aqua foundation feels. It is a really perfect foundation for combination skin as it is hydrating but not to the extent that my face looks oily or anything, it just feels very comfortable. I also looooove the shade selection the Bobbi Brown provides, there is always a shade for every skin tone! My shade is Warm Beige 3.5, this shade is perfect for me, even when I'm at my palest and in the summer when I naturally tanner. I do have the Chanel Vita Lumiere Aqua foundation and I prefer this one as it is my perfect shade (the Chanel one I have is in the shade B40 and it's a bit dark for me in the colder months) and I think the Bobbi Brown foundation lasts much longer on the skin.

Skin 79 Super + Beblesh Balm Triple Functions - Hot Pink

I just had to include this as well. This isn't a typical foundation, but a BB Cream. It is the most natural looking and feels the lightest. It is also very build able and can be used to dab on spots for a bit more coverage. I still prefer the Bobbi Brown foundation but I love using the BB Cream for school, it doesn't even look like I'm wearing makeup but my skin looks much more radiant and better looking, haha. I also quite like using this in the summer as it is even lighter feeling than the Bobbi Brown foundation, which already feels very natural on the skin.

Day 03 — Your favorite brush

My favourite brush would have to be the Sigma E25 Blending brush. It is a dupe for the MAC 217. I love this brush so much because it is such a versatile eye brush, it can be used for soooo many different things. You can use it for applying lid, crease and highlight colours as well as blending. It's also such a soft brush and has really good quality. I also love that Sigma always gives a travel size of this as a free gift if you spend over $30 so I have so many of these haha.

Day 01 — Your favorite eyeliner

Tony Moly Gel Liner in Brown

Gel liner has always been my favourite type of liner and I've always loved using brown because it looks the most natural. I actually received this eyeliner from prettypinklipss on blogspot, AKA Amy as well haha. I love this liner so much, it goes on very creamy but also lasts a long time! Also I'm sorry but I don't know where to buy this as it is a Korean brand. After I finish this, I will definitely be trying the Bobbi Brown gel liner which I've heard so much good stuff about. 

30 Day Challenge: Beauty Edition

If you read the huge paragraph under my March Favourites Part 1 video, you would know that I'm going to be trying the 30 Day Challenge Beauty Edition but I won't be doing this every day, but actually either once or twice every week so this will span over about 15-30 weeks haha. And if anyone feels like doing this or is lost for post ideas, this would be a good and fun thing to try. (:
