DIY: Flower Crown

Hi guys so I'm going to briefly explain to you how to make a easy do it yourself flower crown. If I knew I was going to do this blog post I would of included pictures along the way so sorry guys :( but i'll try my best to explain to you how I did it and add pictures at the end of the finished product.
So I think flower crowns are so cute and beautiful for the fall time and also if you just want to do a fancy dress or maybe for a event that's going on. When I wore mine it reminded me of a bridesmaid haha. They are super cute and adorable to wear not forgetting easy! 
So here's what you will need: 
-thread 
-needle 
-flowers (I used some from my garden and cut some off but you could use artificial ones or anything like Daisy's will work as well) 

So first what you do is get all your flowers, like I said I cut mine from the garden. Mine were pink and all pretty much the same size but I think it would look even more adorable if you also used leaves, Daisy's, different sized flowers but that's all your choice. 
So get your needle and thread and measure it round your head to fit. 
Once you done that cut it and tie on to needle like usual. 
Then start threading it through the middle of the flowers and keep on going until your flower crown is completed. It's easy as that! I alternated the flowers as well so some were facing each other and some weren't as it gave it a better realistic effect. Make sure to tie it as well so you can pop it on your head afterwards.  
So I hope you understand as they are honestly super easy to do and fun to make. You could also use it to tie round a bun as that also looks nice. :) 
And another idea is to instead of cutting it tie a knot at the end instead and let it be one long string and do a plait in you hair whilst clipping it at the top and plaiting it in with the flowers. This look will look amazing with someone with longer hair. 
So thanks for reading! Hope you make one as sometimes Claire's and other places like Topshop are quite expensive just for a headband when you can make one instead.

Budget makeup

On a budget don't sweat as I have some makeup picks that are really cheap and aren't too bad for the price your paying!
1. First is MUA lipsticks these are £1 and look like any other lipstick to be honest so you might as well get these! Amber also did a blog post on this lipstick brand so go check it out. They mainly have coral, pinky shades but are really nice. Some are more pigmented than others so I recommend you swatch first but apart from that there's nothing wrong with it. Some also have shimmer which is pretty.
2. Is the MUA blusher. This also is £1 and have really pretty shades such as rose pink and coral orange. I'm not quite sure but they could be slightly powdery as there cheaper but it's always good to swatch first anyway. I think the pinks are really pretty and can be picked up from SuperDrug. I recommend you buy this product if you use makeup for your first time or you just simply just trying out new looks or even practising. 
3. Three is the MUA nail polishes. These two are £1 and have clear, and also bright colours to choose from which is again a good budget item you could try out or test to see if the colour suits.
4. Four is the miss sporty concealers which can be picked up for about £1-£1.50. I have got this product so I can do a  review on it one day but for now all ill say about it is that it's worth it! There's vitamins and goes on well on skin. There's only three shades though so make sure you get the right one!
5. And last is 2 true lipgloss. These are £1.99 from SuperDrug also and have the most gorgeous shades ever! There pink with shimmer and don't look to gloopy either so it won't be as sticky. There's three ranges. There's the drench range, the crystal range, and the plumptuous range. 
So there you go my top five budget makeup. Hoped you liked it and check out mine and Amber's channel!
Thanks xxx
