Remember me? New and improved!

Hello old friends! Its been a while since i last posted (around half a year!) and i am excited to be back producing content for you all! 

As you may of noticed i have changed the look of my blog up a bit, including my name. I was never entirely happy with my previous blog name ( PoppyTalksAboutNothing ) or the look of my blog as I felt that it looked somewhat 'childish'. Although i am still not satisfied with my blog now ( i'm a bit of a perfectionist ) I prefer the overall look of it. The name 'VeryDarkGrey' stems from my love of wearing the colour black, also i didn't just want to use my name as its rather generic and boring. I hope to make future improvements on my blog both in my content and my layout.

Since i have changed my blog i have also unfortunately had to change my bloglovin' account. This means i have lost all 205 of my followers :( I know it will take a while to gain these follows back so it would mean a lot if everyone could share this post in order to get my blog back out there! 

I hope to be speaking to you soon!

Homemade Skin Care

Hey everyone, so I have recently been really into creating my own facial masks and scrubs and thought I would share a couple with you :)

 

Homemade face scrub - 

1. Grind up a handful of porridge oats in a blender, add a tablespoon of caster sugar and mix.
2. Take a small amount of the powdery mixture in a bowl adding VERY SMALL AMOUNTS of water at a time until the mix is a kind of paste (you could also use honey if you wanted.)
3. Gently rub the mix over your face, concentrating on the chin, nose and forehead avoiding the eye area.
4. Rinse with warm water. 

You can also make a simpler cleanser by adding a teaspoon of sugar to you everyday face wash.

Banana face mask - 

1. Mash together half a ripe banana, a tablespoon of honey and a tablespoon of thick cream (you could use olive oil if you have particularly dry skin) 
2. smooth over the face and leave for at least 15 minutes, then wash off.
3. you can store left overs in the fridge, use within 3 days.  

I hope you guys enjoyed this post as a little mid-week post I will post another in a few days :)

 

xo.

Procrastinating Beauty Blogger TAG

Hey everyone, so i saw this post on a friends blog (Chloespicksx) a few days ago. I thought it would be a perfect post for me as i am a pro- procrastinator. Enjoy!

 Name a beauty regime that you rarely do.

I would probably say exfoliate? Although i know its good for you skin and feels amazing, i just hardly ever do it?  

How long will you last with chipped nails?

FOREVER! I literally never use nail varnish remover because i just repaint my nails after it all comes off. With that said though, i do tend to pick at my nail varnish when i am bored so that could contribute to my nails chipping.

How long will you put off buying/replacing a makeup product even if you need it?

Well, normally if i know that i am running out of a product i will buy it before it runs out, genius i know :) But if i really need and i have none left i try to get it within the week.

What is your worst beautyhabit?

Either picking my nail varnish, again, or rubbing my face (that sounds weird i know but just hold on) i tend rub my face causing my makeup to smudge etc. It kind of calms me down in some way? idk. 

Name something non-beauty related that you put off doing all the time?

Homework, washing my hair, writing blog posts, cleaning my room, eating, sleeping, breathing...

When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready to last minute?

Everything, thats why i am always late! I normally roll out of bed 5 minutes before i have to be somewhere. 

Can you commit to spending bans?

 Ahahahahaha no, i will spend until i have no money and then spend someone else's money

How organised are your makeup and nail varnish collections?

 considering the rest of my room, my makeup and nail varnish organization is impeccable. 

Me!

I hope that you enjoyed this tag and i will speak to you soon, byeeeeee

xo.
