Beauty of Art

Good evening, lovely people!

I've been feeling a bit inspired in these last few months - especially in the makeup department. Whilst reading a magazine, I came across an article about beauty blogger, Sandra Holmbom, and I think I've fallen in love with her work.

She creates beautifully intricate scenes, patterns, paintings and make up looks on her face, that would probably impress the most skilled face painter. She's both self-taught and only doing it for fun, which is incredible.

Her work is crazy, and beautiful all at the same time, and as an artist, it's left me desperate to try out as many 'looks' as possible.

I'll put up my versions of some of her work in the next few days!

In the mean time, please go and check Sandra out!

Aloha!

It's the beginning of September, and as the cold air starts to creep in to the evenings, and we all become a bit seasonally confused in the clothes department, I seem to find myself slowly start to spend a little more quality time with my laptop and a cup of tea (not that that isn't the case in summer too!). So I thought, as the rest of the world might well be heading the same way, I'd share with you my favourite blogs:

- HELLOGIGGLES

My all time favourite go-to blog is great for a pick-me-up when I'm feeling a bit deflated, or a GIRL POWER-style boost. It's founded by my FAVOURITE actress Zooey Deschanel (from 'New Girl', '500 Days of Summer', 'Elf') and her friends Molly McAleer and Sophia Rossi and is full of gossip, life advice, how-tos, and pictures of cute puppies. 

- ZOELLA

I actually found Zoella through her Zoe's Youtube account (youtube.com/user/zoella280390) and although I realise this is a little backwards of me, both her blog and her videos are so bubbly and fun, and she always cheers me right up. It's all about her what she's up to, her beauty and fashion favourites and her day-to-day musings. 

- THEBEAUTYDEPARTMENT

This blog is also founded by a famous face and her friends - Lauren Conrad, Kristin Ess and Emma Nadine. These three run a blog full of hair, makeup and lifestyle tips and tricks that have been my saviour when it comes to getting ready in the morning. 

- CLOTHESENCOUNTERS

The fashion queen that is Jenn Im, runs a vlog on her Youtube channel of 'style musings, tutorials and lifestyle advice.' She has such a cool, bold style that I wish I had the nerve to pull off. She also has a blog (imjennim.com) which is awesome, but I prefer her beautifully shot videos (like a true Youtube fan).

- While we're on the vlog route, I want to also tell you about the three beauties that are Promise Tamang Phan and Emma Pickles, both makeup gurus on Youtube, and Sandra Holmbom, a makeup guru blogger. I've started to get in to makeup, and working out how to create interesting characters and artwork with makeup and facepaints, and these three are amazing and really creative in what they do. I highly recommend you checking them out as their skills are incredible, and really inspiring! 

You are now partially equipped for the rapidly approaching 'cosier' seasons - you're welcome. 

Thanks for reading, 

Til next time! 

Commence my new venture!

HELLO WORLD! How are you?

This is my very first post on my very new blog (yay!). 

I have no idea how this works, and no grasp of the rules yet so please bear with me. 

I am Chloe, from little old England and this, I've decided, shall be my new venture in life. 

I want to make this blog in order to keep track of my life, to share with the rest of the internet my likes and dislikes, and document my little adventures. No one knows what this will turn in to, as with most of my creative ideas, but right now I have thoughts of making it a lifestyle/beauty/frequent update blog with the occasional deep, debatably insightful or inspirational thought that is bound to leak out. I'll try and keep it as light and bubbly as humanly possible!

Maybe I should start off with a little bit about me, if you don't mind:

- As the current title suggests, I am a self-confessed introvert.

- I am a girl.

- I spend a little too much of my time watching Youtuber's videos and wishing I was their best friend.

- I occasionally Youtube myself.

- I am a lover of Gilmore Girls, New Girl and Les Mis, and have several guy friends who feel the same way. 

- I sing, and try to play guitar.

- Someday, I hope to be involved in film for a living. 

- I am a lover of all things creative.

- I have too many creative ideas. 

- I should go out more often. 

Thats some of me in a nutshell! 

If you like the sound of me, please do stick around and join me on whatever this little venture shapes into. I promise it will be fun, and worth your while! 

Now I think I'll go and google 'how to blog' and hope I can work out what I do on here.

Nice to meet you!

Til next time.
