All Things Ellie


I have been really liking how I've started editing my blog post photos recently so I thought I would show you what I have been doing recently and what apps I use to edit them.

First you have to take the photo. Use different props, change the picture until your happy with it. I use natural lighting to take all of my blog pictures and you can really see the difference when you use artificial lighting, it's very yellow.
Once you have taken the photo and you are happy with is I use the app VSCO to add some brightness, but make sure you don't over edit especially if your doing a makeup blog post because the colours can look completely different to what the actually are.
I then use Snapseed where I use the selective tool where you can select area and edit just that area. I use this app all the time to brighten the darker areas and shadows.
If I am using a font I use the app Phonto or PicMonkey and get download fonts from DaFont. In this picture I used Hard Candy.
That is how I have been editing my blog post photos recently, what apps do you use to edits yours?

As it is now so close to Autumn I have been seeing some clothes that I would love to buy and where in these next few months, so I thought I would make a wish list of everything I have seen recently.

New Look:
The first thing from New Look are these dark blue skinny high-wasted jeans. I don't actually have any dark blue jeans, I have light blue and black but no dark blue and I really like these ones. I also like how these are high-wasted but they only have one button.

Secondly, is this cropped khaki sweatshirt. I really like the colour of this sweatshirt and I also like that its cropped because its different from the normal lengthened sweatshirt. I think this would look really nice with most things.

Last from New Look is a scarf, this is a dark blue, black and red check scarf with fringing at the bottom of each end. I like the colours in this scarf and it looks really big.

Topshop:

 I saw some really nice t-shirts in Topshop recently. The first one is by the brand Tee & Cake, this is a high-necked, light pink t-shirt with Uh Huh Honey embroided in white. I really like the colour of this and I like the slogan on it also, I think it's simple but nice.

Next is this Amour t-shirt, I have seen a lot of t-shirts like this recently and I really like this one. Its a plain white t-shirt with Amour written across with three stripes on and some more writing around that. It adds a bit more to a normal plain white t-shirt.

This last thing is this black and white striped t-shirt with three roses across the middle and No Romance written above the flowers. I really like the stripes as they are simple but different to a plain t-shirt and I wear a lot of t-shirts with stripes on. The roses add a extra detail instead of just saying No Romance.

What have you seen recently?

Recently there has been a 3 for 2 deal on at Superdrug so I thought I would pick some things up and so a first impressions of them.

The first thing I picked up is the Collection Speedy Highlighter. I have wanted to try a stick highlighter for a while now and when I swatched it in Superdrug it looked really pretty. It is a pink-y champagne colour and has a lovely sheen to it and also it is very buildable, you could have a natural glow or more of a blinding highlight.

Next I got the Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer. This concealer is one of the things I have wanted to try for ages. Unlike the Collection Lasting Perfection in 2 which is quite pink toned this one is more yellow toned which I really like. This has really good coverage and blends really easily.



Lastly is the Freedom Duo Brow Powder in Medium Brown. I think this is really good! The two shades both work really well for my brows. You can blend out any of the harsh lines really easily if you don't want the line under brow and you can build the powders easily. And for £3 this is amazing.


Overall I really like all of these products I have picked recently, especially the concealer. Do you like any of these products?

As it is nearly time to go back to school I thought I would show you everything that I will be taking in my school bag. Firstly my bag is from Bershka and I love it. It's a plain black bag and all of the detailing is gold. They had a few different colours on the website but I decided to for the black as it was my favourite.

Inside the bag there are small pockets on either side and in there I keep some tissues, lipbalm because my lips can get very dry and a hair bobble just in case I need to put my hair up. I also have other things in there like my phone. In the main part of my bag where I will be keeping my lunch box and water bottle, I also have my pencil case. This one is from WHSmith's and it is pink with white flowers on also the zip is rose gold. Inside my pencil case I have some highlighters, there are five of them. Next I have some pens, I got these ones as they are really nice to write with. And then I just have a few other things like pencils, a ruler, a rubber and coloured pens.



What year are you going into next year?

In the Summer I like to wear I much more natural makeup look so today I thought I would show you the products that would be perfect for those days when you want to wear a little less makeup.

For the base I will be using Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer, I don't use this that often as it is quite glowy but I think that is perfect for the Summer time. I will also set this in place with Rimmel Stay Matte as this will keep it in place all day. For a bit of highlight I am using the Seventeen Instant Glow Highlighter in the colour Pink Bronze, this is a brick highlighter with a mixture of pinks and bronzes  which looks lovely on your cheekbones.

On my eyes I am using my Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette. I am using the shade Naked 2 in the crease and then over the rest of my lid I am using W.O.S. This is a very light natural eye look. I will then apply the NYC Big Bold Volume By The Lash Mascara but only on my top eyelashes to make it more natural.

Lastly on the lips I will use my NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Abu Dhabi which is a gorgeous brown nude colour. I think this looks lovely with any look, I love it!

What have you been loving on you face?

I have seen a few different things that look really good and I would really like to try out. So I thought I would make a wishlist post and share the things I would like.

Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer - Whenever I see people using this I think it looks amazing. The coverage looks really nice and it just looks like a really good concealer. However I can't really imagine spending that amount of money on a concealer.

Too Faced Melted Matte in Childstar - This looks like such a beautiful lip product. I have a mini version of one of the Too Faced Melted Matte and it always lasts so well and doesn't feel extremely drying and the shade Childstar looks stunning.

Violet Voss Holy Grail Eyeshadow Palette - I would love to have this palette. All of the colours are something that I would wear and the pigmentation looks amazing. I haven't seen that many people use it but when they do it looks amazing.

Mac Honeylove Lipstick - I love my Mac Velvet Teddy lipstick and I love the look of Honeylove it's like a light pinky nude colour, it looks beautiful. Also it's a matte which I love, I find that the Mac ones aren't drying and the pigment is really good.

Benefit Highbeam Liquid Highlighter - Liquid highlighters are defiantly something that I want to try and this Benefit one looks incredible. You can create really full on highlighter or a more natural one with is defiantly something that I would like. Also the colour is my perfect highlight colour.

And that is everything from the highend brands that I would love to try. I think everything I mentioned looks amazing. What highend makeup would you like?
