Instagram Q&A | IndiaJasmine

 

I asked for questions on Instagram for this q & a! I got quite a lot of questions so lets get straight into it.

Also, my instagram name has changed from simplymebloggin to indiajasmineblog, just to let you know.

 

 

 Favourite makeup product?

 

This is a very difficult one! Hmmm... After I while of thinking, I feel like my favourite makeup product ever would have to be MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation because I love the formula, its not to heavy but it still gives a great coverage and stays on my skin for a good amount of time!

 

 Shorts or skirts?

 

Shorts, as I don't really wear skirts very often.

 

 Perfume or makeup?

 

I would have to go with makeup :)

 

 Favourite of The Vamps?

 

Bradley Simpson for sure! He takes the lead by miles.

 

 Winter or summer?

 

Have to go with winter because in summer I don't tan, I just burn. Also, I prefer the cold to the hot :)

 

 If you could only live with one makeup product what would it be?

 

Hmm... This is a hard one but I feel like if you didn't wear makeup then your skin would clean up and be reasonably clear, if not completely clear. Therefore, instead of a face product like concealer, I would go for mascara!

 

 Instagram or YouTube?

 

Again, this is quite a difficult one but I feel like YouTube is more enjoyable. However, I really do love them both so they are basically exactly the same to me!

 

 Favourite clothing brand?

 

I really like many clothing brands but I feel like my favourite would have to be...hmm... maybe h & m!

 

One country you'd like to visit?

 

Definitely New Zealand because...well...for the photogenic-ness

If that's a word!

 

 Three things on your to do list?

 

1. Homework :(

2. Revision :(

3. Take photos for instagram :)

 

 Ever had a Marilyn Monroe skirt moment?

 

I've probably had a lot to be honest! But I can't remember any one in particular :p

 

 If you could be best friends with any famous person who would it be?

 

Brad Simpson definitely ;)

 

 

Thanks everyone, love youuuu

Face of the Day | India Jasmine

If you head over to my instagram @simplymebloggin you will see a lot of the beauty and makeup related products that I use pretty much on an everyday basis.

 

However, in this post I'm going to show you what things I put together for a regular school day and basically what makeup I wore yesterday!
Anyway, lets get straight into it.

Firstly, I like to use a little amount of Rimmel Stay Matte powder.
This provides a matte finish on my skin to begin with, helping my foundation to last a little longer, and also gets it ready for my foundation as it provides a smoother base.

Today I wore my usual Revlon Colorstay foundation in the shade 150 Buff. It's definitely my great go-to foundation as it lasts a while on my oily skin but it also provides a medium-full coverage.
I use a beauty blender to obviously blend this into my skin. I focus mainly on problem areas such as my forehead and between my eyebrows.

Next, I used a small amount of Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in Fair and I blend this into my skin, on top of blemishes still showing through, with my fingers.
Then I use Rimmel Wake Me Up under my eyes and blend with a fluffy brush.

To finish off my base makeup, I set everything with a small amount of Rimmel Stay Matte in 001 Transparent. I only like to use a small amount of this as it can make my makeup look powdery and cakey.

I then used my NYC bronzer in Sunny on the sides of my face and cheeks to obviously give the illusion of a more tanned face.

Using the Sleek Face Form palette in Light, I contoured my cheekbones, nose and cupids bow and then used to highlighter on my cheek bones and under my brows.

I finished up highlighting my nose and cupids bow with the lightest shade in an eyeshadow trio from MUA in the shade Pink Sorbet.

I decided to skip blush as I had a little more bronzer on my cheeks then usual.

For my eyes, I just used a matte white shade from my Revolution Iconic 3 Palette all over my eyelids as a base.

Then I took the shimmery pink, which is next to the white in the palette, and placed this in the inner corner, under my bottom lashes and across the first half of my eyelid.
This makes you look more awake and brightens up your eyes instantly.

I blended all this out with a fluffy brush and finished with my trusty 2True mascara in paparazzi! It provides amazing length and volume, while still lasting all day.

Next, I used the Rimmel Brow This Way Palette in 003 Dark Brown to fill in my eyebrows and give them a little more shape.

I then finished them off with a transparent brow gel to set them in place. I used Maybelline Brow Drama to do this!

To finish the whole look, I outlined my lips with the Rimmel Exaggerate Liner in East end Snob. Its a little dark for an everyday shade but I really like it so I decided to do it anyway!

Lastly, I applied some Baby Lips in Pink Punch and finished off with a Gosh Lipstick in the middle of my lips in the shade Angel.

Thanks so much for reading and please head over to my instagram, which is @indiajasmineblog and I am posting daily photo over on there!

The Vamps World Tour - London 02 | SimplyMe

I wasn't so sure what to write about today. I've done beauty for the last couple of weeks, so that was definitely out of the question.

Eventually, I decided to write about an incredible experience that I went to the other night.

 

So basically on Saturday I went down to London, by train to watch a concert. And it was The Vamps! They are my absolute favourite band ever, so as you can probably tell, I was extremely excited.

 

Also, as it was a concert, I'm sure that you can appreciate the quality of these photos that I took. Obviously, it is very difficult to take photos at a concert, therefore a few I took of the big screen next to the stage.

However, I wanted to take a few to show you!

 

*Beginning*

 *Brad Singing and playing guitar*

*Singing*

 *End*

 *Tristan's Drum Solo* 

 *James and Brad on guitar*

*Performance*

 *Performance*

 *Brad solo*

 *Brad solo*

*Connor solo*

 

If you ever get the chance to attend one of their concerts or tour then don't hesitate and go!

It was a great experience and I've loved sharing it with everyone!

 

Sorry that this post is short but I've got to rush off to a meeting. To make up for it I'm going to put up a post Friday as well!

 

Lastly, please let me know if I should change my blog, instagram, twitter, etc. Name to IndiaJasmine instead of SimplyMe. Thanks!
