Pale Princess Make-Up & Beauty

Who would've thought 10 years ago that You-Tubing could be a full time career for so many people?! There are so many people who try to break into the beauty community on YouTube but only a small number of those people become 'YouTube Famous'. I love watching YouTube tutorials, beauty hauls and anything make up related on YouTube and I think it's where most of my obsession with make up stemmed from. Specifically, I love watching pale skinned YouTubers because they can swatch or apply make up to their skin and show me what it will look like on mine! These are some of my favourite Pale Skin Beauty YouTubers and I've included a link to their YouTube accounts so you can check them out yourself! 1. Thataylaa - https://www.youtube.com/user/ThaTaylaa  Thataylaa is an American beauty vlogger based in Seattle who is very pale and loves all things black and white - which is right up my alley! She is my absolute favourite YouTuber because she is so down to earth, real and h...

My make up collection is really quite small compared to what a lot of people have but to others it might seem over the top. When I starting getting more interested in make up, I realised this stuff would no longer fit into one make up bag! So I purchased some different forms of storage in an attempt to organise the rapidly growing collection. I've left links to either the exact form of storage that I have for each section of make up or a similar product, although all of the acrylic storage came as clear plastic and I have covered them with black adhesive wrap.  You will realise, I am a bit gothic at heart so I love everything black! Dressing Table   (£125) &  Chair   (£18.00) Again, these come separately and the table has a built in mirror which folds to close and 4 draws. 2 of the drawers are deep drawers and the other 2 are shallow. In one of the shallow drawers, I have my big eyeshadow palettes and in the other shallow drawer I have my hand creams and sp...

Being tall has it's advantages and disadvantages. I am 6 ft 1 (185cm) and I have always been tall - when I was at school, I was always the tallest in the class and I was 6 ft tall at 12 years old. By 16 years old, I was 6 ft 1. When you're this tall as a female, you attract a lot of attention - I can't walk into a room without people staring. They usually stare at my face and then you see their eyes drop down to look at my feet - because I must be wearing heels (I almost never am). So at 6 ft 1, there are certain comments and questions you hear almost every day - more so when you're younger I think. I've heard them all! So here's 10 questions and comments that tall girls are tired of hearing! 1. Do you play netball / basketball?   - I played netball for 8 years, so yes, I fit the stereotype of tall girls, but this is a question we hear so often it gets boring! Just because you're tall, does not mean that you are automatically athletic and lots of tall gir...

When I first starting getting more obsessed with make up, highlighters were the new big thing. I saw YouTubers saying that certain highlighters were better than others so I went with those ones - only to find out that actually, there are lots of different shades of highlighter and lots of different types too, and not every shade suits every person! So I did a load of research and found lots of pale - skin friendly products and I tried and tested them! Here are my top 10 highlighters for pale skin (although these are in no particular order). (swatches from left to right are numbers 1-7)  1. NYX Illuminating Bronzer - Ritualistic - £9.50 This was one of the first white based highlighters that I tried after seeing a YouTube video raving about it. I've spoken about this product before in my Top 10 NYX products  blog post and it is still one of my favourite highlighters. It is a very pigmented highlighter but it is buildable, so you can create a more natural look with...
