Spring Morning Routine Collab! xox

Hiya everyone! Today I am going to talk to you about my Spring 'Morning Routine.' This is actually a collab with @liifeas.g https://liifeasg.wordpress.com - her blog is so beautiful and her photography skills are on point! She is doing a 'Spring GRWM', you should go and check it out! This is going to be my routine on the weekend/ holidays, since we are on Spring Break at the moment.

First, I wake up at around 8:30 or 9:00, but stay in bed and go on my phone or watch YouTube for a while.

Then, I drag myself out of bed and go down to have some breakfast. I usually have some cereal or a smoothie.

If I haven't showered the night before, this is usually when I will take a shower. At the moment, I have been loving using the 'ST Ives Apricot Face Scrub' in the shower to exfoliate my skin.

After this, I will go and brush my teeth and get dressed for the day.

When I am dressed, I will either blow dry my hair first or apply my makeup. If you would like to see what I use as my everyday makeup, click here to see my post on 'What's In my Makeup Bag'

Now I am ready to leave the house and start the day! On the weekends, I usually meet up with my friends or go shopping.

Thank you for reading my post, and make sure that you check out the other half of this collab! Add me on social media; the links are near the top of my page. Have a great day, talk to you soon lovelies!

Perfect Pinks! x

Hiya everyone! It's Easter season at last, so we can finally start bringing out the pinks and other bright colours! This post is going to be all about my fave pink/Spring products- I did have a few more faves but I wanted to add just four so I could talk a bit more about each one. If you don't already follow me, my username on Instagram is @graciepastelpinkk so follow me to get updated on when I will next post! So here are my 'Perfect Pinks!'

'Patisserie de Bain' Cranberries and Cream Body Lotion/Shower Gel

I actually received this as a free gift from Superdrug, but I still think it is amazing! This smells so fruity yet sweet, and when I use it, the smell leaves the room smelling gorgeous! This set comes with both a shower gel and a moisturiser, and both contain a lot of product. After applying the product, your skin feels soft and hydrated! I use this on my arms and legs to soften them up and make myself smell nice too. If you are looking for an intense moisturiser with no scent, try the Re-Gen cream because that is really thick.

MUA 'Undress Your Skin' Highlighter (Pink)

Usually, I only really use this in the Spring/Summer months, so now its nearing April I have started to use this again. This is a beautiful baby pink shade, and works as a blush as well as a highlighter. There is a lot of shimmer and pigmentation in this product, which I love! I think this is a great drugstore option, because I find that High-End highlighters either have too much/not enough pigmentation. However, this product is perfect!

Nivea 'Soft Rose' Lip Balm  

To be honest, I quite like most lip balms and will use any, but it's always special when you find the right one! I really like this lip balm because it is hydrating yet not too heavy and leaves a lovely pink tint on the lips. I can wear this without wearing lipstick and still look like I have got something there- I can just throw this on in the morning! It also smells really sweet too. If you are looking for a lip balm that is really hydrating any creamy then try the Nivea 'Essential Care' lip balm.

Maybelline 24h colour Tattoo in Pink Gold

This is my perfect spring eyeshadow colour! I use this as part of my go-to eye look, and the shade is beautiful! The colour is really light-reflective and metallic, so when I wear this my eyes really pop! And the best part about this is that it is so quick and easy to apply-meaning it is perfect for before school or work. Maybelline do these in a huge variety of colours in the drugstore, so if you don't own any yet I would highly recommend them!

New Room! Xxxx

Hiya everyone! Recently, I repainted and redecorated my whole room since my old decor was pretty ugly. I have been slowly purchasing new things to add to my room, and I think it is nearly done. I'll be showing you some pictures, and telling you where everything is from. Also, my Instagram is @graciepastelpinkk , so you can follow me on there if you want to be updated when my next post is!

I really wanted a double bed in my room, so this meant buying new bedding to go with it.

Duvet, Throw, Gold Pillows-Primark

Letter Pillows-Matalan

This wall seemed quite plain, but I saw this lovely picture and i had to have it!

Picture-The Range

Because I am quite tall, I needed a mirror which I could actually see in! I also got a container to hold all of my makeup in.

Mirror-The Range

Acrylic Makeup Storage-Amazon (they have millions of different ones)

I had a few spare shelves left in my bookshelves, so I added some cute little bits and bobs (Including some of my art) into here!

Bottom two shelves-Primark

Nail polish jar-Tiger

Everything else is DIY!

Thank you for reading my post, and I hope to see you in my next one! Have a great week, Gracie xx

My Pins and How I Get Inspiration! xx

Hiya everyone! Today I am going to show you what I pin on Pinterest and also talk about my inspirations! I got this idea from +A Girl, Obsessed , her blog is amazing- you should go check it out! If you want to know what else I have pinned on my boards, my Pinterest username is @gracierosexx so go follow me! Anyways- here is what I pinned!

Makeup:

For makeup, I like to pin things I want to recreate, things I want to buy or tutorials.

Hairstyles:

For hair, I like to pin styles I would love to wear (goals) and different shades of hair colour.

Fashion:

For fashion, I like to pin boho, relaxed styles and pretty, formal outfits.

Nails:

For nails, I like to pin designs I would wear but probably not be able to do to my own nails!

Quotes:

For quotes, I like to pin messages that make me feel better about myself and feel happy when I read them.

I use Pinterest as a way of getting inspiration and even teaching me how to do new things. Another way I like to find inspiration is by Instagram. This creates a platform for me to talk to people who read my blog and people who have the same interests as me. Also, I can share my love of photography here! If you are looking for a way to communicate to others like yourself, then go get yourself an Instagram account! As you may know, I used to own an Instagram account for this page. I have just created a new one, so you can follow me to receive updates from when I am going to post and pictures of things I enjoy. My username is @graciepastelpinkk

Thank you for reading, and I will see you next week!
