Why I started blogging?

Hey bloggers, so today's post is a frequently asked question, I get asked this question all the time even from family and friends as to why I started blogging...?

Blog wasn't always something I liked doing, it was more just to promote my YouTube videos and stuff and so it wasn't really something I'd update on a daily base, however, I then started to post makeup related stuff and I saw that people enjoyed reading my posts and it kind of just went from there really. I started my YouTube 7 years ago (2010), so I also started blogging around that time too but then deleted all contents and posts on this blog and left my blog blank until recently I went back on my blog and saw that my blog went over 1,000 views which to me means a lot. 

Blogging allows me to give my personal opinion and reviews about certain makeup products and other things as well such as 'How to cook', or 'How to make...', it allows me to share different stuff because everyone does things differently. I have many stories to share and for me, this is the best way of showing it to you guys. 

I then created an Instagram where I can promote my Blog and YouTube as everyone is using Instagram for everything and the response I got from there made me want to do more and keep doing what I liked. It then became something I enjoyed doing in my spare time and I love doing reviews on products that I use and many people use too. My blog isn't as popular as any other bloggers, but the fact that people still view my blog keeps me going and it just motivates me even more and you never know I probably could one day be on the top 10 bloggers in the UK. 

My family and friends also give me a lot of support in doing YouTube and also updating my Blog. If it wasn't for them and you guys I probably would've given up YouTube and blogging but I guess it's something that I like doing for you guys and I enjoy writing it up. Hopefully, in the future, you'll see a lot more things on my blog and YouTube but right now I'll probably just leave this as a hobby and something to do in my spare time. I would definitely like my own website one day where I could sell merchandise that you guys would enjoy buying. I just want to say thank you for viewing my blog and giving me the best feedback as this makes me so happy and want to post more. I have a lot more posts that are coming so make sure you watch out for it!

My Everyday Make-up Routine

Hey Bloggers! Today's post I will be sharing how I do my everyday makeup. Believe it or not, the amount of makeup that I wear cannot be compared to the amount of makeup other girls wear on a daily base, I actually don't wear that much makeup it's literally the main thing every girl would start their makeup off. 

So first things first, I don't always prime my face but since I bought the Fenty primer I've been using it as I do tend to keep my makeup on for the whole day and since I have been using it, it's proven to have kept my makeup intact. 

- Firstly, I Prime my face using Fenty Beauty Primer.

- Secondly, I apply the Fenty Beauty Foundation in the shade 310.

- After I've applied my foundation I conceal my face especially under my eyes as I have dark circles and I also apply concealer on the areas that are pigmented, this just makes my face look so much smoother.

- As my foundation/concealer is setting in I put on my false lashes, in this post I'm showing you my Huda Beauty lashes in Naomi, however, I don't always wear them lashes as I like to save them for special occasions instead I wear these mink lashes that I bought from eBay. 

 

- After applying on my false lashes, I then apply my lipsticks. If you have read my posts previously then you'll know that I'm in love with the Inglot lipstick in shade 405 & 410. On top of this, I sometimes apply my NYX lip lingerie to give it a matte finish. I actually lost my favourite NYX lingerie ( shade: Seductive) so I use the another shade from NYX in the shade Cabaret show or I use Huda Beauty Liquid Matte in the colour Trophy Wife which gives me the same finish.

And that's literally my everyday makeup routine, It's not much but I like it that way. I think that looking 'simple' every day with not that much makeup is better than caking yourself up every day because when you dress up for special occasions you literally look no different then you do every day but I guess that's just in my opinion :)

Zack Knight💙

Words cannot describe how much I love Zack Knight. For those that don't know who Zack Knight is he's a Bollywood singer, songwriter & producer and I would recommend you guys to go check him out. (Click here) Here are some videos of when I and my cousin sis went to go see him perform live! For the first video, I just want to say sorry for the quality and the sound as this was recorded on my android phone years ago so apologies for that but the other videos which were like year/2 years ago was recorded on my iPhone 5s.

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

(I had two other videos to upload but it doesn't allow me to upload it because apparently, the video file is too large).

However, we did also go to the Newhams Under The Stars which you can view on my YouTube.

Q&A♡ - ohsnapitzaffy

Hey bloggers! I feel like you guys enjoy me writing in more depth posts and well I enjoy writing it up for you to read so today's post will be based on a Q&A as I feel like you don't know me well enough and well I really want to post different things not just based on makeup. I was actually meant to do this post like months ago as I promised in my previous posts however I never got round to it so here it is. These questions I have made up myself and some you guys have asked previously, these questions and answers will literally tell you everything about me and what Ohsnapitzaffy is all about especially if you're new here and reading for the first time.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

1. How old are you? - 19 years old  
2. How tall are you? - 5 ft 8
3. Where were you born? - London
4. What's your hair colour? - Light brown/Blonde
5. What's your shoe size? - 5.5/6 (UK)

8. What colour are your eyes? - Brown
9. Any piercings? - I have 3 piercings on my ears (1 on my helix)
10. How many languages can you speak? - English, Bengali, French, & Arabic (NOT Fluently, basic stuff)
11. What phone do you have? - iPhone 7 plus
12. What is ohsnapitzaffy? - To be quite honest guys I actually dislike 'ohsnapitzaffy', I made this blog name when I was obsessed with Ariana Grande and if you know back then before she had the fame her YouTube channel was 'ohsnapitzari' therefore I changed my name to ohsnapitzaffy but it was actually better then what I had named my channel before you probably might have noticed it on my channel domain name 'EastSisterz12' LOL what was I thinking. But anyways I can't change ohsnapitzaffy as I've accumulated so much work onto that name and well yeah...I'm stuck with that now.
13. Favourite songs? - ZAYN ft. Sia - Dusk Till Dawn, I love all Zack Knight songs
14. Favourite films/shows? - Hitmans Bodyguard, Harry Potter & Spongebob SquarePants
15. Nike/Adidas? - Nike
16. Reasons why you started YouTube/Blog? - I started my YouTube channel 7 years ago! And the first video I uploaded was my little brother dancing to a Beyoncé song and that got so many views believe it or not so I thought I should continue uploading videos which then I started making lyric videos and that's how my channel got the recognition as they went over 1 million views which even I was shocked to see. My channel has received over 3 million views and for me, I found that so amazing however I still do wish to do more things and hopefully become one of those famous YouTubers. I started blogging as well because this enabled more people to see other things apart from lyric stuff so I started posting make up related stuff and got a good response from that also and since then I have loved putting stuff up on my blog as it's not only beneficial to me but also helps you guys too!
17. Ever want to expand OSIA? - I have so many ideas that I wish to do however I feel that because there are so many people out there who are doing what I would love to do it wouldn't really work out with me as there are so many people out there bringing out merchandise and makeup products so for me I don't think it's possible yet, I'd rather just stick to what I like doing which is updating my blog every now and then, hopefully in the future some more upcoming content.
18. Favourite quotes? - I really love HerBlankCanvas's quotes, what she writes I can relate to. All her work are my fave and you should defo check her out on Instagram (Click Here) 
19. Ever been in a physical fight? - I would be lying if I said No but I have, during college times which was like 2 years ago I got into a fight with a boy at first it was a verbal fight and then it got physical. If you know me well as a person I am not like that at all, I really hate people who act up and this really p****d me off like the words that were coming out my mouth wasn't enough to shut this boy up and then I went for it. That's all I'm going to say lol
20. How are you as a person? - I don't like certain things so when people meet me for the first time they'd tell me that I look like a bitchy person and a very intimidating person but their opinion about me changed after they get to know me. I admit that I can be very bitchy but come on who isn't. Other than that I am a very nice and ongoing person, I just like to get along with everyone and not have any sort of beef.
21. Where do you go when you're sad? - To be honest, I just like to be left alone, I sometimes go to a corner and let everything out. (I even put sad Bollywood music to help me cry more LOL). I am a very emotional person, I do have problems with my self-esteem and it makes me so paranoid about certain things and the way I let it out is by crying.
22. How many countries have you visited? - France, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha & Bangladesh
23. Favourite car? - BMW 4 series, 3 series, Volkswagen Golf GTD, GTI, R & Audi A3, A4, A5, A6, A7 & RS5
24. Favourite makeup brand? - Fenty Beauty, Huda Beauty, NYX, Nars, MAC, LA Colours & Inglot
25. Favourite perfumes? - Coco Chanel, Chanel Chance, Gucci Bamboo, Gucci Guilty, Michael Kors & Joop
26. Ever won a contest? - No, I'm not that lucky tbh
27. Do you have a team for your blog/ YouTube? - My team is basically my family and my account manager Lara who helps me and guides me in how to get and engage an audience for my channel. But other than that my family have always supported in what I do, they all like to get involved such as giving me ideas and just generally giving me that push into making YouTube videos and posting blogs which will be helpful to most people. 
28. Do you like travelling? - Yes, I love to travel, I think my whole family love travelling. The idea of getting on a plane and having a fun journey whilst getting to your destination is most probably the best thing about it, I would love to have that as a career.
29. Where would you like to go next? - I really want to go back to Doha, the last time we visited Doha we only spent like 24 hours which to me isn't enough. I would also like to visit India as well.
30. Who else would you want a Q&A from? - YOU!

Well now you know a little bit about me, I had so much fun writing this up hope you guys enjoyed reading this! Make sure you look out for my next post which will be an 'Everyday makeup routine'.

October Favourites♡

Hey bloggers, I'm back with another favourites post! So this post will be a bit different to my other favourites as I won't be showing just my makeup products but also other things I've been loving and I would love to share it with you guys.

So first things first, let's talk about FOOD! Everyone is a food lover and so am I, so it's a shop called Lotus Leaf and it's a traditional Chinese street food and can I just say I'm in love with it...but let's give a little credit to my sister as if it wasn't for her then I don't think I would have even tried it out. You can find this shop in Westfield Stratford City (if you live in London) and I'm not sure about any other branches but you can defo search it up.  This dish just looks and tastes yummy, it's Crab & Meat Dumplings | Red Malaysian Curry with Jasmine Rice.

You all know how much I love my Inglot lipsticks. It's almost finished I think I will defo need to repurchase this again. If you haven't tried this lipstick then you should buy it esp for the girls who like a bit of nude and pink then this is the lipstick for you.

Recently I have been into henna, I've been practicing a lot and I think I have gone better at doing it. You can obviously tell that I love how it came it and you can purchase these henna cones at www.hennacones.co.uk or search them up on Instagram, trust me you won't be disappointed with the quality of it.

I also dyed my hair again, no more blonde hair. I dyed it back to my normal original brown, not sure I like it just yet as I've had my blonde hair for over a year so this sudden change will take a while to take in, however, I'm thinking to re-dye back to the lightest brown. The reason why I dyed it back to normal brown was so that I can restart my hair colour as it had ombre at the bottom so no matter how hard I try dying it to the light brown I wanted the yellowness wouldn't go so hence why I dyed it brown.
