Happy 4th Birthday Coleoftheball

 

I cannot believe I have been blogging for four years, today I thought I would do a little roundup of some of the posts I have put up in the last four years! I hope you enjoy looking back at some of my older posts and didn't cringe as much as I am! Just before we do get started I just want to say a huge thank you for all your support whether you've been here since the beginning or this is the first time you have read my blog!

My first post - Top 5 Autumn nail polishes

We have to start off with my first post! To be 100% honest I feel like I've read far worse first posts, I feel like mine definitely went downhill from here before they picked up. The photos wouldn't be to bad but I was obviously a big fan of flash which washed all the colours out so overall it was a bit of a fail.

 

My first OOTD - Blogmas Day 16..... OOTD

I think it's so strange to look back on this and see how much I have changed I honestly don't think this looks anything like me! I have never done a lot of OOTD's on my blog and I feel like this post explains why.

My first FOTD - Blogmas Day 9...... FOTD Simplicity is key

Cringey title - Check
Bad camera angles - Check
Bad quality Photos - Check
Gappy teeth - Check

This post really does have it all!

First yearly favourites  and the time I sprayed batiste on my hand (Would definitely not advise you do this!) - 2012 Favourites

I find looking back on favourites so strange! I now don't use any of these products and I'm pretty sure the only one I still own is the natural collection lipstick.

 

My first high end review - Urban decay Naked basics review

 

I actually don 't mind this post, it isn't overly detailed however the pictures aren't too bad and it seems to have a little more structure than some of the reviews I had written before.

 

 

My most recent OOTD - Inside this place is warm, outside it starts to pour

 

I can't believe the last OOTD I did was this long ago, I really do still love this outfit and I really like the photos from this post.

 

 

 My most recent FOTD - The Autumnal smokey eye

 

Looking back at all those old FOTD's made me realise how much I've changed and grown up in the past four years. This is one of my most favourite recent posts and it definitely shows how not only my photography but also my writing has improved.

 

 

My most recent Yearly favourites - Blogmas ¦ Day 31 - 2015 Favourites

 

Even looking back at last years favourites there are some things that have been replaced by other products and I just find them so interesting to look back on. Also can we take a moment to appreciate the improvement in my flatlay skills!

 

 

My most recent High end review - Smashbox brow tech matte pencil   

 

Even though I didn't mind my naked basics review I feel like this is so much better. It is better structured and just goes in to much more detail whilst I also offer an alternative. It definitely shows how much my collection has grown and how much more educated I am!

 

 

So that's it for today I really hope you enjoyed this post!
