Time for a break? | Little Miss E

Hello loves!

Recently I've felt very uninspired to write blog posts and I think its time for a break. I feel like I'm posting for the sake of it at the moment and all my posts are slightly rushed and pointless. Hopefully I'll be back with more inspiration in a few months!

Be Happy, Be Bright, Be You! | Little Miss E

Hello loves!



I'm going to do a post about inspiration and following your heart today. I think this is a big subject for some people and it is for me as well. Self-confidence issues are everywhere nowadays and so many people miss out on things because of their fears.




Last night at my school they had an event call Gig Night and I really wanted to perform at it. About a week before I was not on the list of acts even though I thought I would be and I was incredibly close to just quitting and not bothering, but I didn't. I went and sorted it, I got a song and a guitarist and practiced and practiced in the two days before the gig. And I did it. I got up on stage and sung my song in front of the crowd and had the time of my life. I was nervous but I overcame my fear and I'm really proud of myself. I think that experience taught me to work for what I want and put the effort in, even if most of me doesn't want to.



Sometimes you have to go with your heart instead of your head, don't over think. Go for it, it will be worth it. Even if it doesn't work out, its not the end of the world. At least you would have tried. Also never let anyone tell you that you can't do something. If you want it, you can do it. People only put others down because they're jealous, because they could never even think about doing what you're doing.



Anyway that's my thoughts! I hope this inspired you...maybe? Slightly?

Polargram! | Little Miss E

Hello loves!

Today I'm going to talk about a website which I love and I don't think many people have heard of.



So Polargram is a website where you can login to your instagram and print off polaroids, canvases and all different things. I got 12 polaroids for £6 and delievery is completely free.  They arrived in little cardboard box which even had a little packet of sweets inside which I thought was a really nice touch. The pictures are such good quality and were exactly what I wanted. You can buy sets of either 12, 24 or 48 and the prices range from £6 to £12 which I think is really reasonable. I was so impressed with the customer service and the overall concept of this website. I would definitely recommend it to all of you!

February Favourites | Pastel Ella

Hello loves!



So its favourites time again and this month I don't have too much to talk about...


Beauty

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation - Ivory

I would highly recommend this foundation for teenagers because it looks really nice and dewy on the skin and doesn't cake up. Its not really high coverage but that's what I like about it.





Maybeline Lash Sensational Mascara

I bought this randomly at the start of February when it was new and I've heard so many people rave about it since. It's such an amazing wand and formula and packaging and all-round mascara. The brush is similar to the falsies but a bit bigger.




Revlon Lip Butter - Pink Lemonade

I got this for christmas and didn't wear it too much but I've recently got into wearing it to school and I love it. There are hints of peach but its mainly just a nudey colour and its so pretty.




Batiste Dry Shampoo - Brunette

This dry shampoo used to be so annoying to me but I actually love it now. It doesn't leave white powder in your hair (because its brown) and it gives you so much volume. I use it most days when I don't wash my hair.



Skincare

Lush Catastrophy Cosmetic Face Mask

I picked up a tester of this last time I was in Lush because they didn't have the full size and I've fallen in love. It's a blueberry mask that helps to keep blemishes away and give your skin a healthy glow. It really worked for me and I would recommend it.






Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

This has been something I wanted to try for a long time and I finally picked it up from amazon in January. I use it mainly for my lips because my lips get really dry. Its also great for dry patches on the face as well though.




Fashion

Topshop Joni Jeans

At the start of this month I bought a pair of black Joni jeans and I have worn them nearly every day since. I wanted them for so long and I'm so happy I finally have them. They're super high-waisted but they're still really comfy. I got them in a 28 waist and 32 leg if you were wondering...





Topshop Coat

Everyone and their mother seems to have one of these coats and I don't care if I look like a sheep (in two ways) but I love mine so much. I wear it every day to school and its not great in the rain but its so lovely and warm.



Drinks

Drink Me Chai Latte


Chai Tea






Music

Hozier - Take Me To Church
Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney - FourFiveSeconds
Taylor Swift - 1989 (album)
Sia - Elastic Heart
Trouble - Iggy Azalea ft. Jennifer Hudson
On My Own - Les Miserables soundtrack

Q&A! | Pastel Ella

I actually can't believe I'm doing a Q&A like this is crazy. I asked you guys on instagram (if you don't follow me, its linked there > ) and people actually gave me questions so I'm going to answer them!

@sprinkleofclo_ : Favourite food?

I honestly can't choose, I forget half the food I eat so I don't know

@chanel.peach : Favourite scent?

I really like the scent of Pink Sands Yankee Candle and Marc Jacobs Lola perfume

@avamaeslife : If you had to be a celebrity for a day, who would it be?

Ariana Grande or Kylie/Kendall Jenner

@emilieisbae ; Fave makeup brand?

Probably Maybeline

@sprinkleofclo_ : Body Shop or Lush

Lush all the way!

@make_xo_reviews : Favourite Rimmel lipstick?

Leggings, skirts and dresses

@finn_hill_ : How old are you?

I'm 13, 14 in August

@floraldreams_xo : Why did you start YouTube?

Well I used to have YouTube and I guess I started it because I watched lots of YouTubers and got really into it and just thought it would be really fun. My videos were embarrassingly bad though, but I would love to start it again...comment below if you think I should!


So that's it for my first Q&A, let me know if you'd like me to do more of these, maybe monthly?
