Who is CarriesClosetxo?
CarriesClosetxo, Who is she? A question I'm sure you've asked yourself. Who am I? A question I've asked myself on many occasions, so what would I answer if you asked me, what would I honestly answer if I really asked myself?
Well I'm Carrie Feagan, 18 from a small town in Essex, England; my love for fashion started at a young age like any young girl I'd dress up in clothes from my mums wardrobe and steal her make-up- but the day that I really feel in love with fashion is a day I'll never forget.
My Nan had always been a big influence in my life, I like to think that she helped raise me- after my parents got divorced, I'd often stay the night at my grandparents house throughout the week when my mum worked the night sift at work and as my dad was a scaffolder it meant he had an early start in the mornings and me staying there wasn't convenient.
But the one day when my life would change forever- whether I knew or realized at the time or not, looking back I now know that that was in fact the day my life changed forever, you see my nan had this room- she called it the 'Dressing Room'; I walked into the dressing room one day and stood in the doorway looking in and it was on this particular day that I chose to really take in everything in that room, the masses of clothes that where hung on one wall, the boxes on shelves above the clothes that contained hats, bag and probably the odd shoe here and there- the clothes neatly folded into draws, the dressing table that contained masses of beauty products "something for everything, each do something different to keep you looking young" my nan would often tell me when I questioned her why she had so many pots of the same white cream. So on this day standing there really taking it all in, I made a decisions that I one day wanted to own a room just like this one- I'd always thought that my Nan looked amazing in whatever she wore and I wanted to be like that one day.
Only now roughly 10 years later do I realise how much of an impact that day had on my life. In February of last year it got to the time in my life where I had to make a decision that would change and impact my life forever, I had to decide what I was going to do once I'd finished my A-Levels, was I going to go to University or get a job? Only there was one problem I didn't know what I'd study if I was to go to uni and I didn't know what I wanted to do if I was to get a job- so I found myself stuck with a massive decision to make and not only was it a massive thing to do it was scary too.
I'd like anyone changed my mind constantly on what I wanted to do with my life, but a few years prior to this whilst in high school, I had thought about being a fashion designer- only I hadn't actually taken the right subjects to allow me to do that. So now with this massive, scary decision to make I thought back to this time, this was the one thing that had been stuck at the back of my mind for years, so I did some research into other areas within the fashion industry that could appeal to me- that's where I stumbled across a course 'Writing Fashion and Culture' a course that I took a liking to, only I didn't know if I was going to enjoy it because I didn't have any experience and I'd never actually wrote anything to do with fashion? On top of that I didn't know if i'd actually be a good writer- although I enjoyed writing it doesn't always mean your good at it and seeing as I was re-taking my English exam as I hadn't passed in year 11, I was left extremely confused.
But it wasn't until I remembered someone that had not only boosted my confidence but taught me a lot of what I know now, the one teacher who when I left high school had impacted my life in a way that I now am incredibly grateful for and who probably doesn't even realise the impact she left on me. My English teacher from year 11, in a year she took me from a very bad G grade to five marks of a C- she helped me in all areas I was struggling in and who was the only person to believe in me when I truthfully had given up on myself, she taught me that in life there will be things that you struggle at but it doesn't mean your not good at them. She boosted my confidence and made me realise that the thing i'd been struggling with for years was something that I became to love and enjoy- it was the only lesson that I'd look forward to. Without her I don't know where I'd been now, she inspired me and even now continues to influence me, when I find something hard I think back to the many lessons with her and remember that not everything's easy but if you really want something work hard for it and your get it in the end.
So with that in mind I decided to combine the two things that left a huge impact on my life, fashion and writing- Now knowing what it was I wanted to do and that I could maybe make it on to the course that I'd been left thinking about for a while, I decided that University was what I was going to do after my A-Levels. It was all good that I'd made that decision but it didn't mean I had any experience in it, so I did the one thing I had thought about for a while I decided to write a blog- a scary concept I'll be honest, the fact that someone might actually find it and read it terrified me but I didn't think about that because I wasn't going to write it for anyone but myself; this blog was for me, for me to see if it could be something I could do for the rest of my life - and then CarriesClosetxo was born.
As the weeks went on I started to realise that not only was I enjoying it but so were a lot of other people from other countries, the page views started to go up and I began realise that I no longer was doing this for myself that I was doing this for all of you. I didn't know why I was so worried about someone finding it or someone that I knew finding because I loved what I was doing and it seemed like so did it everyone else, I didn't care if someone I knew found it- it suddenly didn't bother me, I was too happy to even think about it.
Now a year and 5 months later and I've just reached over 3,ooo page views. I can't believe that something I started just for myself has received such an amazing response not just buy people I know but by so many people I don't, in countries I couldn't imagine, from all corners of the world; now I know that this thing I'm doing is absolutely what I want to do for the rest of my life, I can't imagine myself doing anything else.
So who is CarriesClosetxo? Who am i? Well I'm a successful international blogger (got to blow your own trumpet sometimes) that will continue to blog for the rest of my life, only along the way I'll make it my job and hopefully one day I'll influence or inspire some of you. Just know that at some point in your life your remember a day, a day that you might not know now will change your life and when you find that day, don't let go of it, remember exactly how you felt and cherish it forever- because it's a day that will influence the person your going to be.
So that's who CarriesClosetxo is but who is Carrie Feagan, well that's a long story that one day I'll share with you but for now this is exactly who online blogger Carrie is.
Always remember that not everything's easy but if you really want something work hard for it and your get it in the end.
Lots of Love

Bronzed Summer Make-Up Look.
Hey beautiful,
I thought I'd show you all how you all can recreate my go to summer make-up look, during the summer you want a natural make-up look and bronzy colours will always look nice during the summer.
So here are all the products that I'll be using.
Firstly I start by applying concealer from my Sleek palette- Number 02.
I put my Rimmel London Match Perfection foundation (010), I put this on the back of my hand.
I use my Real Techniques Buffing Brush to apply the foundation.
I then apply my Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer, in 030 Classic Beige.
I usually put the concealer under my eyes in triangles, on any spots or blemishes and on my forehead - and then again using the Real Techniques Buffing Brush buff it all in.
Using my Beauty Blender I blend it all together, just to give it a less shinny finish and to make sure it's all blended together nice.
Using the Collection Work The Colour Eyebrow Kit, I fill in my eyebrows.
I use my Bourjois Paris Bronzing Powder (51), as an eye shadow. Using my Real Techniques duo-fiber Eye Brush, I cover the eye lid with the powder and making sure I get it in the crease of the eye lid.
Using my Barry M Concealer brush and Topshop Liner Ink, I apply a thin to medium thick line of eye liner along the lash line.
Using the mascara I got from my Beauty Box, I apply it to my top and bottom lashes.
Then using the Real Techniques duo-fiber Face Brush, I apply a light coverage of Rimmel London Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder (002).
Using an angled brush I apply the Bourjois Paris Bronzing Powder (51), to the hollows of my cheeks (excuse the weird face!).
Using the same brush and the bronzing powder, I apply it to my hair line, side of my nose and along my jaw line.
I then apply my high lights highlighter, using the Real Techniques Pointed Foundation Brush.
Lastly I use the Tanya Burr Lip gloss in the shade Aurora.
The finished look!
I hope you liked this kind of post, I haven't done a make-up tutorial/look before- so if you do like it comment letting me know, send me photos of you re-creating the look on Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr and facebook! Also leave suggestions of other looks you want me to do!
All my Love
