Hey!

I thought I'd do an extra little post for you today (it's Elise by the way) because I'm sick *boohoo* and have a lot of spare time on my hands.

I want to talk about one thing that makes me happy.

In a world full of depression, lack of confidence and overall down times, there is happiness. Although you may have to look a little harder, and think a little deeper. The smallest things in life can give you the happiness which you need to carry on going. It could be anything, drinking a cup of tea, or watching a movie, that tiny bit of happiness to get from that, it makes a whole lot of differnece. And you can share happiness with others, smiling at someone when you walk down the street. Or offering to help someone with their shopping. That could change someone's life, it could save a life.
'Give someone a smile, it could be the only ray of sunshine they see all day'

I want to talk about one thing that makes me happy, and in general that is Youtube. I've been a fan for years now, and I'm found some amazing channels along the way. Such as ThatcherJoe, FouseyTube, Tanya Burr, Troye Sivan, just to name a few. I've found big channels, as well as small, and I'm so glad that I did.

People talk about finding channels that post amazing content, channels which are dedicated to their subscribers, and interact with them at every opportunity. You may not agree, or say that the majority of the time this doesn't happen. However it does, and their are amazing small channels out their that deserve much more credit, and support for what they do. I'm not saying bigger channels don't deserve it, because by god I've fell in love with some of the amazing people I watch, I'm saying smaller channels are just as good, and because someone hasn't pressed a button, or their channel hasn't been found. Doesn't mean they are any less than others.

So I want to talk about my favourite channel. Okay, this will probably sound extremely soppy and mega cringey, but I want to thank the channel.

About five months ago, I started watching a channel called ' The Lifestylists', two sisters, Amanda and Nicole. I fell in love with the channel. These two girls, they may live far away, and I may never meet them. But both Amanda and Nicole have made me extremely happy. Every video has been of such high quality, and generally so amazing. They recently decided they wanted a change, so they transferred to a new channel called 'Coco and Margot' and if you watch the last video on their old channel, you can see their reasons why. Both of them, have been the most amazing and supportive people ever. They are constantly active with their subscribers, and make every single one feel special. The girls deserve so many more subscribers, because they are genuinely the nicest people I have ever spoken too. I will continue supporting them for as long as possible.
You can find them;

Instagram- @amanda_margot and @_nicole_emily

In their channel I find my happiness. Re - watching their videos everytime I'm down, or feeling not too good about myself or the world, just makes me feel so much better. I recommend, highly, please go watch them, share my happiness.
'Life is not about making other people happy. It's about sharing your happiness with others'

No matter what you find happiness in doing, whether others like it or not. Please don't stop fighting for self happiness, or even happiness in the world. As I've said, the smallest thing can make you happy. Often people don't stop to enjoy the little things in life, like a good movie or a lovely day, happiness comes in all shapes and sizes.

And today, I wish you are happy♡

Lots of love,

Elise xo

Hello everyone,
Today i thought that i would post more of a relaxed an easy post. So not all the time we want to smother our faces in make-up, some days we just want a neutral look or a easy and basic look. So i thought that this post would be relevant! So, let's get straight into sharing with you my 5 product face!

Primer:
There is no doubt about it. If i am applying a BB Cream or Foundation i still have to apply a primer as it helps keeps my base in place for long lasting hours! So for my primer i would usually use the Baby Skin Primer however recently i have been using the Benefit Porefessional. This is not cakey or oily and perfect for my skin. This lasts for long hours and sets my make-up in place. The only down side is the price.

Base:
I am using the Maybelline BB Cream (The pink one). I have recently gone off giving my face a full coverage now as HALF OF MY SPOTS HAVE FINALLY STARTED DISAPPEARING! This is why I like to use a BB cream. This BB Cream gives a natural glow to your face and covers any blemishes or redness on the face.

Concealer:
Now, even though that the BB cream is amazing at covering blemishes and redness on the face, i still like to use a concealer for underneath my eyes as i have bad bags underneath my eyes. For concealer i use the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer as it gives a nice glow and is my everyday use.

Eyes:
I have only recently bought a Maybelline Color Tatto. I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH IT! It is a good base, blendable and gives a nice shimmer to the eyes, and is perfect for summer.

Mascara:
After seeing the advert on the television, youtubers going on about this product and the pretty good price, I finally got around to buying the Maybelline Sensation Lash Mascara. This gives such a good volume to the lashes AND ISNT CLUMPY! You guys know what I'm like with Mascara's, if they are clumpy i will not use them, as harsh as it sounds.

Thankyou for reading this post and i hope you have enjoyed it.

Hello everybody!

So we have made a few changes to our blog and have got some news to tell you about how to get in contact with us.

^^^First of all we have set up aa link on our blog that if you look to the right hand side of our ^^^ blog, you can enter your email to receive messages when we post. Now a few of you messaged Tia on twitter to do this and Elise asked me to look in to this as well actually, so there you go!

^^^ In addition at the bottom of each post there is this bar (shown in the photo). Now, in that bar ^^^ is a small icon of a letter with an arrow. If you click on this you can forward this post or page in to an email to forward it too another person or share it online. This is a quick and easy way to share our posts as i know a few of you wanted us to do this.

So, moving on to our contact details not sure whether all of you know but we no longer use our joint twitter account. This is due to finding it hard to post as well as using our personal and our individual fan accounts. At the end of every post, we always link our contact details down below and we did state our joint account twitter so we have now changed that to our individual fan accounts. If you have sent us a message or tweeted us on the joint account before we stated that we are not using the account then we would have most likely seen but from now on we will not see it as we don't use the account. So yeah.

Anyway, we have recently created an instagram account for our blog. Now, we are not sure whether we are going to post regularly or forget about the account however, we will try to keep it up to date and use it. Our theme is kinda a beige tumblr theme with a mix of our own photos and other people's photos that have been posted on tumblr. So linking to this, if a photo is not taken by us, then we shall state it. However, as tumblr users may know, it is difficult to figure out the owner of a photo as so many people post it on their accounts, so its hard to find the original. But, if we use a photo that we know the owner of we will certainly give them credit! So yeah! We have an instagram account! It is called @thebloggerlyf and please feel free to give us a follow for a chance of a follow back. To get our account started we will be accepting sfs and f4f however, it is just to get our account started.

So thank you for reading this quick post. We hope to see a few new followers to our account and we hope you have a lovely day.

Hello,

So we all have one problem when it comes down to buying make-up. We want to buy the high end products, BUT THEY ARE SO EXPENSIVE! Well. I have found, in my opinion, some drugstore dupes of some high end products that are a lot cheaper and good quality.

Concealer:

High end ~ NARS Concealer £22
Drug Store ~ Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer £4.19

Now, as you can see the NARS concealer is extremely expensive however i believe that the Collection Lasting Perfection is a dupe to this product. The Collection product is long lasting, not cakey, cheap and is basically, has a lot of similarities to the NARS creamy concealer.

Lipstick:

High end ~ MAC Russian Red £15
Drug Store ~ Revlon Really Red Matte £7

Now don't get me wrong, MAC lipsticks are amazing and so so nice however for me, it is a let down about the price. Revlon lipsticks are so nice and the Revlon Really Red Matte Lipstick is equally as good. The texture most likely isn't the same however, the colour is extremely similar, it is much cheaper and the packaging is kind of similar.

Cream Eyeshadow's:

High End ~ MAC Eye Paint Pot's £15.50
Drug Store ~ Maybelline Color Tattoo £4.99

Now recently, everyone has been going on about the Maybelline Color Tattoo's and that they are so good and moisturising for the eyes and make a good primer for the eye as well as a nice base. Now, again MAC products are rather expensive and MAC's eye paint pot's are £15.50 and are identical to the Maybelline Color Tattoo's however are higher priced and most likely to be better quality however the Color Tattoo's are good quality, moisturing, make an excellent primer and base and are extremely cheap.

I hope you have liked this post and if you would like more of these then let us know by contacting us! ALSO! WE HAVE INSTAGRAM!

Hello!

Once again I'm sorry I'm uploading late, I've been busy again! LIKE WHY SO MUCH HOMEWORK? I might change my upload day to Tuesdays from now on, simply because Tia uploads on a Friday, and seeing as we've ended joint posts for now, there is a massive gap between posts.

Today I've decided to do something different, not a beauty or fashion post. I wanted to talk about something a little deeper, and more meaningful.

I want to talk about standing up for what you believe in.

Now recently in the youtube fandom, there has been extreme amounts of hate, and situations of which have been very topical and difficult to discuss. In many cases have I seen some revolting comments and regards written about people on social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram.

Now, people may say it's no place for anyone to get involved, and that people are entitled to their own opinion which they are, of course. However so unacceptable things have been said, and you can't ignore it forever.

Okay so you may think standing up for a youtuber,or any big name for that matter is stupid. You may feel as though they never read the comments or tweets, or that they could deal with hate. But words hurt.

No matter what the situation, if you believe in something, then don’t let anyone put you down, or deem that it’s wrong. If you care strongly about a cause, or that what someone is doing is wrong. Stand up and speak out. If it’s for family/friends or some random person on the internet who has no clue you exist. Being a person who spreads positivity,or brings people together is amazing.

And to be honest I think words hurt the most. I like too see it like this; bullying comes in all forms- emotional, physical etc. Now with physical bullying, it hurts. Being punched, kicked it isn't nice, at all. However give it a week,perhaps a little longer and the pain is gone. Okay you might have a scar, you might have a small bruise, but the issue is temporary. Words, on the other hand, they don't leave a mark. You can't see how much they may have hurt someone, the pain is inside. And it doesn't leave, you can forget a small bruise. You can't forget what someone said.

So all I’m encouraging is never give up in what you belive in. Stand up for what you think is right, and do you're best to protect what you can. No matter what it is. There will be situations where, perhaps what you believe in isn’t right, or isn’t deemed acceptable by society. But people learn from their mistakes.

Hello,

Quick upload here, where I'm going to explain all about our Social Media Links♡

Both Tia and I have separate twitters, as well as a joint account. Tia's is @suggletlyf and mine is @itsayoutubelyf Our joint account is @youtuberrlyf however, where we are basically focused on separate accounts, thay one isn't used as much. We are both extremely active, so you can tweet or dm us any time you want and we will reply!

We have Instagram too! It's @thebloggerlyf and it's kind of a cool tumblr theme *tumblr girl* We are pretty active on there too, and we most probably follow back, so that's a bonus! You can message us on there if you have any questions too!

Finally we have an email, tiaelise123@gmail.com where you can talk to us in a bit more depth, and have a longer chat if you really need too.

Thank you (if anyone is) for reading our posts, we would really appreciate love and support. Please remember to share us with your friends and family, even if you just tweet our link. It would make us so happy☆

Lots of love,

Tia and Elise xo

Hello everybody it's Tia and today I thought I would share with you what products I have regretted buying either because of the quality or getting the total wrong impression! Now unfortunately not everything you buy is as good as people say and may not suit you as you had imagined or the way it suits other people. So! I am going to stop blabbing on and get to the point of this post.

Maybelline New York 'Great Lash' Mascara:

So the first product that I was ashamed about was the Maybelline New York 'Great' Lash Mascara. A couple of the youtubers I watch, recommended this mascara as it gave a good volume to your lashes however, it is so clumpy!! I can't stand clumpy mascaras as it makes you, in my opinion, look like you have 3 big lashes!! As well as it being clumpy I wasn't too keen on the applicator either, it was quite small meaning it didn't cover all of your lashes at once. Overall, I did not like this product and was quite disappointed as it was quite pricey I believe. 

Clinique Superbalanced Powder Foundation:

Another product that I was not impressed by was one of Clinique's powder foundation. The one that I had bought, you had to twist to split the powder into chunks. I thought this was a unique idea and thought it would give an even coverage. No. I'm afraid this didn't work for me at all. When I had applied this it had a like shimmer to it and made me look like I had been in a fairy land and been sprinkled in glitter! I really didn't like this product and will not be purchasing it again, or even using it. Now this was very rare for me as I LOVE CLINIQUE! However I just was not keen on this product. 

So I didn't want to make this post very long so I did cut it down to only two products however I still hoped you enjoyed reading this post and remember, that don't not buy the product because of my product. These were just my opinions and for example, the mascara you may love but I am extremely fussy and picky when it comes to mascara as I have said in a previous post.

Anyway! Hope you have enjoyed this post and make sure to read Elise's previous post!
