A few weeks ago I done a poll on twitter about whether I should do a Acrylic Makeup Storage blog post and most people said yes so today I'm going to talk about my Makeup Storage.

I got my drawers from Ebay quite cheap and I love them.


on the top I have a Sephora Beauty Blender, Tanya Burr Lipstick in Pink Cocoa, Two Body Shop lip liners in 4 and 8, a No.7 lip liner in Nude and a Estee Lauder lip liner in In The Buff, Mac Mini Zoom Fast Black Lash and Maybelline Lash Sensational. I also have a Sephora mirror, my Kylie Jenner Birthday Edition Mini's, Mac Velvet Teddy, Urban Decay 1993, Too Faced Melted Matte in Queen Bee, a Buxom lip gloss in White Russian, Bite lipstick in Honey Comb and Marc Jacobs lipstick in Slow Burn.



In the left top draw I have a Seventeen Highlighter in Pink Bronze, Sleek Rose Gold Blush and Seventeen Define and Conquer Contour Kit. And in the right top draw I have Rimmel Stay Matte and a Baby Lips.

Next I have the Sephora Sun Bleached Filter Palette and the Urban Decay Naked Basics. And finally I have the Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette and a Revlon Liquid Lipstick.

So that is my Acrylic Draw collection. Thank you for 100+ followers.

Today I'm going to share my blog photography tips even though my pictures are far from perfect, I thought I would do this post for people that might be just starting a blog because I wish I had this advice.

Background - You don't need to buy a super expensive background for your backgrounds to look nice. I printed the one I use from Google. I think wood and marble backgrounds look really nice but you could also just use a piece of paper or white bed covers for a white background.

Props - You can use all sorts of props in your pictures my favourites are makeup, stationary, books, notebooks, rings, little gems, clothing and the list goes on.

Blu-Tack - Perfect for sticking down things that are going to roll around such as lipsticks of stationary.

Natural Lighting - Natural Lighting is an essential if you use artificial lighting it makes your picture look really yellow, I have defiantly learnt that when I first started.

Editing - I think editing is how your pictures really look amazing but don't do it too much especially if you are doing a makeup post as the colours change. Also if you have a iPhone use the editing section in photos and also use Snapseed it is amazing!  

So that is my tips for blog photography, let me know yours because I defiantly want to improve.

 Recently while I was staying with my grandparents because my parents where in America we decided to go to the seaside while visiting some family and today I though I would show you what I wore that day.


At the moment I have been wearing jumpers all the time and New Look has defiantly been one of my favourite places to get them from. A few months ago I picked up this baby pink jumper with white stripes on the arm which I really like.

For my bottoms I got these black ripped jeans which I love. They are high-waisted and are not too ripped which I really like. I think these look really nice with this jumper and they are also really comfy.

For my shoes I wore my Adidas Superstars which I wear all the time and they are so comfy. I have the white ones with black stripes and I love them so much.

I also had my ring on from New Look. This one is so pretty and it looks like the infinity sign and I think it looks so nice.

Recently my Mum and Dad went to America and while they were there they picked up me and my brother some things. When I saw the Sephora on the table I was so excited to see what was in there. So today I am going to show what they bought back.

The first thing I saw when I opened the bag were a few Hershey Kisses which I was excited to see because I love Hershey chocolate.
Next I pulled out a Sephora Beauty Blender from the tissue paper which I'm so happy to have as my Real Techniques one isn't looking its best. I love the shape of this one and I cant wait to use it.

I then pulled out a compact mirror which looks so nice. It came in black and white packaging and the actual mirror is black. The mirror has a magnified side and then a normal side.

The third thing I saw was a Sephora Sunbleached Filter Eye Shadow Palette. This is stunning. There isn't one shade in this palette that I wouldn't wear. The eye shadows are so pigmented and the packaging of this is also gorgeous. I LOVE it.


And last of all I saw a box shaped like lips. This is the Sephora Favourites Give Me Some Nude Lip which I'm really happy about as I love nude lip colours. When I first saw this was filled with lots of amazing lip products I was so excited to open it. In this you get a Estee Lauder Lip Liner in In The Buff, Too Faced Melted Matte in Queen Bee, Bite Honeycomb Lipstick, Urban Decay 1993 Lipstick, Marc Jacobs Slow Burn Lipstick and Buxom White Russian Lip Gloss. These all look incredible and I can't wait to use all of them!

And that is my Sephora Haul! Obviously I am so grateful for all these things (thanks Mum and Dad).

52 blog posts ago I posted my 'Welcome to Elzita' blog post one year ago which is crazy to think because its gone so fast. One year ago I had no idea what Bloglovin' even was.

I am happy that I started my blog because I've talked to people I wouldn't of ever spoken to and it's so nice to see people following, commenting and even reading my blog posts even though it's not about the numbers. I still can't believe I even got 10 followers and now there are 88+ people following my blog which makes me so happy! (so close to 100!)

I thought I would just write this post to say that I am so thankful to anyone who even bothers to click on my blog.

For this weeks post I am going to show you my January Favourites. These favourites are for both December and January as I didn't do a December Favourites. I think I'm going to do favourites every other month as I don't really have many favourites each month, however today I have quite a few to show you.  

My first favourite is my Too Faced Sweet Peach Eye Shadow Palette this palette is beautiful and I have been using it so much this month. I will be doing a review on this palette soon so I'm not going to talk about it too much but the colours are so pigmented and they smell amazing!

Next is the Urban Decay Naked Basics Eye Shadow Palette. This is such a nice eye shadow palette if you like natural colours and defiantly if you like mattes. The colours are also really pigmented. (REVIEW)
 
Mac Lipstick In Velvet Teddy. This lipstick is one of the most popular lipstick in Mac and I can defiantly see why because its beautiful. It is a gorgeous brown toned nude lipstick and I love it.

Next is Kylie Cosmetics Exposed Liquid Lipstick. I love this because it is a stunning peachy colour and it has amazing staying power.

A drugstore lipstick that I have been enjoying is the Rimmel 03 Lipstick. This is so beautiful, the colour is a peachy nude which I love at the moment, this is a lovely lipstick overall.

My last makeup favourite is my Rose gold Brushes. I have been loving these recently because they are so soft and they look beautiful. They cam in a set of 12 and I love them all a lot.

I have been loving three scents this month the first being the Zoella Sweet Inspirations Body Mist this smells amazing! It is quite sweet but I think it is so lovely, it smells like marshmallows but its not sickly sweet.

My second scent I have been liking is a Jack Wills Body Spray I got this in a set with two other scents but this has defiantly been the one I love the most. It smells really fresh and I love it.

And lastly is Victoria Secret Spray in Love Spell this is quite fruity and I think I'm going to wear it so much in the Summer.

My first more random favourite was Joe and Caspar Hit the Road this film was so funny and I really enjoyed it. I would recommend you to watch it if you want something to laugh at.

Next is Girl Online by Zoe Sugg. I really enjoyed this book because the story line was so amazing. I have read all of Zoe's books and they are some of my all time favourites. (REVIEW)

Another book is Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon. This book was incredible I loved it so much. It is basically about a girl called Maddy who has a illness so she can't go outside and it shows you how she deals with it when she falls in love with a boy called Olly.

Gabbie Lindley I feel like I talk about her quite a lot but I love her videos. She seems so nice and genuine and all her videos are incredible. I also love her covers and I think her voice is amazing!

Snapseed. I love Snapseed this app is amazing for editing pictures. The tool that I am obsessed with is the Selective tool as it makes a massive difference I your pictures.

Lastly is Little Mix Glory Days album. I love this. I think all the songs are so catchy but my favourite along side 'Shout Out To My Ex' has to be 'Touch' I just love that song its so good. I would highly recommended this album.

So those are my favourites. What have you been loving recently?
