Hey all, how's you? Autumn is fast turning to winter, and with that is a change of outfit and make-up look. Note: When it comes to eyeshadows, the palette I'm using doesn't give me any names for either the shades nor the palette itself.

4:05 PM / BY May
Hey all, Hows you? As summer fades into autumn, make-up looks change as the leaves on the trees do. That sounds very pompous doesn't it?

Anyway, I felt like it was time to show you lot what I've been slathering on my face to make myself look presentable during this season. Base ...

Social Media - Real Or Not Real? | Matti May Hardie

5:23 PM / BY May
Hey all, Hows you? A quick note before I start: Yes, I referenced The Hunger Games in my title and no I have no shame.

Piercings 101 - Nose Piercings | Matti May Hardie

5:19 PM / BY May
Hey all, Hows you? I don't actually know if I mentionned this on my blog, but my "reward" for having passed my brevet was to get my nose pierced. I got it done in mid-July and I was so freaking obsessed with it! Sadly, the hole has since healed up, which I'm super upset about! So to mourn my late-nose piercing (even though I plan on asking to get it re-pierced for my birthday), I...

11:38 AM / BY May
Hey all, Hows you? We all get it. Those times when you look at yourself in the mirror before or after a shower or just generally when you look at yourself naked, and you can't help but say "I look like shit". We've all said it. Whether we've put on some weight, bloated or whatever, we've all looked at ourselves and thought that we don't look our best.  I do it too. I have a...

My Love-Affair With My Hair | Matti May Hardie

10:09 PM / BY May
Hey all, Hows you? Ever since I started dying my hair when I was just 11, I've had a total love-affair with my hair. I've cut it, dye it, style it every way I can. My hair has been dark brown, auburn/red (my natural colour), strawberry blond/blond, light brown, red, and not forgetting black (I went through a particularly long emo phase, okay?). It doesn't seem like very much dying, but let's remember that I'm...

The Aftermath Of Coming Out | Matti May Hardie

6:01 PM / BY May
Hey all, Hows you? On the 7th of June 2015, I came out as bisexual. I first came out to my friend, Frances, in May, and gradually came out to my little sister, and my best friend. After I came out to my parents, I pretty much totally accepted my sexuality and I'm not even scared of coming out to anyone anymore. They can like it or lump it and to be quite honest with...

England 2015 - What's In My Carry-On | Matti May Hardie

3:12 PM / BY May
Hey all, Hows you? So I'm off to England today and I don't think I've ever thought about Starbucks, Primark and MAC so much in my entire life (priorities).
