2017 has been the year where I took the plunge and got tattooed several times by a good friend who has become a tattoo apprentice, she is super talented and every design is from me telling her an idea and she designing it from there. 

First tattoo - Mandala 

I adore this tattoo especially it being my first one and I am so proud of myself for finally facing my fears of the tattoo gun and it is where my obsession with getting tattooed started. The dot work in this tattoo is what makes it so beautiful though as pretty as dot work is I find it so irritating having it done. 

Second tattoo - Manchester Bee Tattoo Appeal 

In May this year there was a horrific attack in Manchester following an Ariana Grande concert and from going to University in Manchester and living so close to the city I decided to join in with the appeal and get this tattoo to help such a great cause. The tattoo studio I go to ended up raising around £12,000 for the appeal which is amazing. 

Third tattoo - Eddie from Iron Maiden 

After seeing Iron Maiden for a second time this year I turned round to my boyfriend during the concert and said "I need to get Eddie tattooed on me" and I love the design which mixes a couple of the classic Eddie styles together, though sitting through the tattoo which is on the back of my calf was excruciating and is probably my most painful tattoo to date.  

Fourth tattoo - Game of Thrones Dragon Eggs 

Game of Thrones is one of my top five favourite tv shows and I knew I had to get something relating to the show in tattoo form. I love the design of these dragon eggs as they aren't too in your face screaming about Game of Thrones though fans of the show would know what they are. 

Fifth tattoo - Skeleton Mermaid 

I mean who wouldn't want a Skeleton Mermaid tattoo? This is my most recent tattoo and I adore the design and it suits my anesthetic so much as I am basically a mermaid but just a gothic one. 

I can't wait to get more tattoos in the future and I already have plans and designs for some so I'll more than likely do an update in the future. 

As part of my birthday celebration this year me and my boyfriend are going a trip to Disneyland Paris and the time we are on going when it'll be the 25th Anniversary which will be so lovely to see all the new parade and shows they are planning and as this will be a special trip I wanted to get some custom Minnie Ears as I have been to Disneyland previously and have never worn a pair which is shocking I know as I am a big Disney fan and recently all over Etsy I have seen custom ears and I noticed this one store called Ears Ever After had a pair of Ariel style ones and knew they had to be mine. 

The lovely girl Natasha who owns the store has several different custom styles and each one is more perfect than the last it is a struggle not to buy every single pair especially all the sparkly ones. I ordered mine when she had free shipping for her birthday and there is a turnaround period of 1-2 weeks and they arrived after 1 week in perfect condition and are absolutely comfortable perfect for wearing all day around the Disney parks. 

After buying that first pair I saw she did a custom pair of Rose Gold ears with gems on them and I fell in love with them straight away and messaged her about them and she was super helpful and they arrived so quickly. They are going to look so perfect wearing around the park especially on my birthday so I can actually be a princess. 

I can't wait to be wearing them around the park in July and hopefully be adding more ears to my collection in the future as no Disney trip is complete without a pair of ears. 

                                        

                             

                             

Conceal And Perfect 2 In 1 Foundation And Concealer '01 Creamy Vanilla' - I've been after a new foundation for a while and I've heard so many good things about this foundation so I took the plunge and decided to order it the only problem is I should of ordered the lightest shade and in fact ordered the second lightest though I can make it work by adding lightening drops. 

RCMA No Colour Powder -  I've wanted to try this powder for so long as I prefer to set my foundation and concealer into place with a loose setting powder rather than a pressed powder as it cakes up on my face and this powder was at the top of my list to try for ages so I knew I had to add it to my basket when I saw it was back in stock on Beauty Bay.

Morphe M510 Pro Round Blender Brush - This brush is a repurchase as I absolutely adore this brush for highlight as Jeffree Star recommended it and I thought I would test it out and I fell in love with it.
