BarryM Goody Bag

Hello! When i went to Clothes Show Live, i was able to pick up a beauty goody bag. There were so many too choose from, but i went for the BarryM one - just because i new that i loved their range of nail varnish. It worked out that i got £60 worth of Make-up for just £10!! and surprisingly it is all make-up that i would wear, which is a great start.

It all came in a baby pink make-up bag

All of the make-up that came inside - 6 nail polishes, 2 eye shadows, 1 liquid eye liner, 1 wax eye liner, 2 lip glosses 

Incase some of you are wondering what colours the nail varnishes are (Left-Right)
Orchid 507, Majesty 451, Miami 523, Malibu 417, Jingle Bells 443, Paprika 445

I hope you enjoyed having a sneak peak into my BarryM goody bag!

Clothes Show Live - 6th December

Hello! Yes i went to clothes show live at the NEC in Birmingham, and yes it was amazing. If you've never been i would definitely recommend going along one year. Myself and one of my university friends went on Saturday and watched the 10am fashion show, it was just incredible. 

I took some photos - mainly videos of the fashion show, however i thought i would share some of the photos. 

This was the runway - just before the show started

There were so many brands there - Bootea, Coco White, Hair Burst, NYX, Rimmle, Fusey, inthestyle

Myself, Chloe Lewis (Towie), and my friend 

On all of the entrances and exits there were little quotes and mirrors surrounded by lights, this allowed everyone to check on their outfits an make-up through the day, it worked really well

12 days of Christmas

It's December!!! I have felt festive for about 4 weeks prior to now. Currently watching the grinch on my afternoon off of uni, I thought I'd come and say hi!!! 

I am thinking of doing '12 days of Christmas' on my blog. Doing a post every other day until the New Year's Eve. 

Happy December

British Fashion Awards

I wanted to share my thoughts on a few celebrities outfits for the British Fashion Awards from last night!! there were so many amazing outfits, I have chosen my favourite 3 too show.

Tanya Burr 

I really love Tanya's ( YouTube star) outfit choice. I think she looks so chic but a darker more vampy style. The outfit she choice really suits her body shape and pinches her in at the waist. The mesh/see-through skirt just adds that little bit off edge to the outfit, drawing it all together with a dark berry/purple lip.

Cheryl

Cheryl also went for the mesh look completing it with a bra-let  and thigh high boots, and she completely killed this look. I don't believe anyone else could of pulled this off as good as she has. The attention to detail on the dress is amazing and the simple make-up makes the outfit look so elegant and classy. 

Model - Rosie Huntington 

Last but definitely not least. Rosie Huntington, wow. This is what I would think off for a red carpet event, especially  the fashion awards. Its classic, classy and incredibly elegant , the low cut front add a bit of glam and style. I love this. Again, with a nude lip and a bronzed up face, it pulled this look together.

Another way to see what i am up too, is instagram;

Summer Afternon Tea

There is something about afternoon tea. Something that is cute and special, it's one of those cute things you and your girlfriends can do as a little treat for completing your last uni assignment, or a great way to celebrate your birthday - which is why I went. Even though my birthday was in May (we are now in July), I was going through all my photo pictures and discover this, and it make me super peckish! It would anyone let's all be honest now... 

I know need to 'justify' a reason to go and remake this memory, however for now I will just let you all look at this wonderful platter of the yummiest cakes

Favourite Summer Scent

One of my most favourite things about summer is the summer scents. I'm sure many girls (and guys) have those favourite fragrances that really bring back those summer day memories - i definitely do!

This year my two summer faves are these - Just Pink / Next and  Si / Giorgio Armani. 

They both have a very fresh/sweet smell which lasts on me all day (a total bonus!!) 

'Just Pink' is a body spray, which you can buy in any of your local high street store Next. I find this great for an every day 'I'm just popping out, but want to smell like a sweet candy cane/ classy woman' - if you get my drift!

Si is the perfect perfume for anyone who loves luxurious perfumes, and super cute as a birthday present! I have never smelt anything so yummy in my life, its a very sweet, glamours perfume. It lasts all night on me and I forever get asked what i am wearing when I wear this. If you are super girly and like sweet classy perfumes, this is deffo one to try! 

Thank-you for reading, let me know if you have tried any of these!

Monday - Update

Happy Monday Morning!! 

Hope you have all had a wonderful weekend and are ready for this upcoming week.

I remember when i was at school, Monday was defiantly the worst day of the week especially as early mornings are not my thing, on Mondays they just felt that little bit worse! I am currently trying to get 3 essays done as fast as possible, yes ones that i should have already done over my Easter break.. Oops. On the bright side of things I have come back to University a whole 2 WEEKS EARLY, to give myself more time and hopefully motivate myself to do my revision for exams. 

Over the summer I am really going to try and make my blog into something I am proud off, I really haven't found the time or the effort to keep up with this. But this summer it will all change, I probably said this last year but hay ho!! I want to make it a weekly thing, or even twice a week if im feeling super motivated this summer. 

I haven't actually got any plans for this summer as of yet, cry cry. hopefully a holiday will fit in ust nicely after my exams! 

Anyway little update done, Thanks for stopping by!

It's April

Happy April guys! 

Spring is finally here, and April showers have definitely come with it too!!! If you also live in England, and lucky enough to live in the country side, you will be aware of the gale force winds we have been experiencing these last few days, at some points I thought my house was going to be blown down (okay, little over exaggerating but totally felt like it!!!!!) 

I am currently enjoying a month off of uni, with 3 essays to write and revision for my first year exams, stresssssed!!! 

If anyone has any exam tips I would highly appropriate them as I haven't sat an exam for a good 3 years now, scary!!! 

Enjoy your April

Topshop

Happy Sunday!

Topshop - £20

How gorgeous are these shoes from Topshop!?

These are the newer version of there older pair ( if you have been into a local topshop recently you'll see what I mean). I think these shoes are such a staple in your wardrobe, they can be the feature of a really plain outfit, and will look great during the summer!

Fashion - 'I'm late to uni look'

Evening guys, 

Sometimes I find it so hard to choose what to wear to University or to do a little bit of shopping.. So I thought I would start to put together some different outfit ideas for inspiration. Im sure many of you will feel my pain of choosing an outfit! 

Everything here is from Topshop (except the hang bag - Asos) 

Layering is key in this English weather, ever so unpredictable! This outfit will look great for a 'i'm really late to uni look' or a casual shopping day out with your friends. Its a classic outfit which you can throw together quicker, which looked like you spent time planning.. that's a win win in my eyes!!

Fashion - Grey

Tonight I thought I thought I would write a super quick fashion blog - this Cowl Neck jumper is a Primark number, It was only £12!!! I honestly think it is the best buy I have done from primark, it washes lovely, the colour is still the same, it still feels super soft. Most importantly it doesn't itch my skin either! That's a bonus..

I brought it a size up, just because i wanted it to be a little more baggy. I have been pairing this jumper with black skinny jeans and over the knee boots. Also with leggins and converse.

New skin care routine

Hello beauties

For Christmas I received a lovely No7 Skin care collection. It is a collection of their must-have skin care essentials, the gift set includes a Hot cloth cleanser with a muslin cloth, the protect & perfect Night cream, the Protect & perfect Day cream and the Beautiful skin eye make-up remover. Also it came with a ultra-soft headband to keep your hair out of your face while you are doing your skin care routine.

I have never really had a skin care routine that was structured. I would put moisturiser on and do the odd face-wash but that was all, so I think these No7 products are honestly perfect for anyone's first skin care routine.

If anyone is like me and has really sensitive skin, I do find it very difficult to find products that my skin wont react too. Luckily I haven't had any problems with these products and I have been using them for a good 3 weeks now!

All of these products used together leave my skin feeling feeling soft and pumped. I haven'y had any breakouts and my skin has felt a lot more hydrated.



If you have any other No7 products that you really like please let me know in the comments!

Thanks for reading
