I defo prefer leggings than joggers in the gym and these were only £6 and super stretchy and soft. They fit perfectly with a high waist so AMAZING for doing yoga and weight training!

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES

This dress though….

OMG it is beautiful. Its a suede like material so really soft and fits me beautifully. Ive had my eye on this for a while and so happy I bought it today. Its very feminine and again fits me like a glove and was only £13!

A failed attempt at a baywatch pose….

However this lovely swimsuit was only £4 and is a real bargain!

The material is actually very good quality and fits really well. It has a low back for added detail and I LOVE the colour!

DOES PRIMARK FAKE TAN REALLY WORK? REVIEW + DEMO

Uncategorized

img_1053-4

I have been asked so many times to do a review of the PRIMARK FAKE TAN. 

So my gorgeous gals, today is the day.

I have been a fan of Primark tan for such a long time and I wanted to share with you my hints and tips for making it look its best!

Not only is it super cheap, its actually VERY good quality for the price. Not once have I had that horrible streakiness like some fake tans leave and it isnt a completely overwhelming smell.

Its only £3 for a generous size bottle of the mousse and the consistency is really lightweight too – perfect to blend in to the skin flawlessly.

Take a look at my before and after photos.

 

If you guys have used the same tan as me then let me know what you thought in the comments below!

Loreal Infallible Foundation Review + TRY ON

Uncategorized

img_1053-4

I’m sure you have all heard of the foundation that supposedly covers tattoos?

Yep? Well I managed to get my hands on it and I have been using it for about two weeks now and I have…. mixed reviews.

To watch my review and demo then just look below!

or click HERE.

 

 

I know everyone has different skin types, from oily to dry to combination… but this foundation just did not work the way I was hoping.

Don’t get me wrong, in terms of covering blemishes and redness and acne, its flawless… but long lasting?…

IT IS NOT!

I would only wear this foundation for photos or for short periods of time as after a while it goes completely cakey and speckled on the skin making me look like I have scales. It sticks to my dry areas too creating noticeable cracks after some time.

This is just my honest opinion of this product and as I said, it DOES create a flawless matte finish but I don’t think it is for me.

If you guys have tried this foundation then let me know what you thought in the comments below as I would love to hear your reviews!

So this little post is just a general catch up and life update for you all so you know that I haven’t completely vanished off the face of the earth…

I work full time so on my days off lately I have been super busy decorating the house and garden which is surprisingly time consuming. I have also started to do some proper wedding planning as our date has been set…..

9TH SEPTEMBER 2018!

Eeeeeek! Im so excited but there is a lot to do so again I have been planning and prepping for that!

Another thing I have added to the list is my new instagram account for my home – I follow so many inspirational people and we all share ideas for around the house from decorating to cleaning – I love it!

Instagram | January

Uncategorized

img_1053-4

 

It is February and freezing, so i’m sat in my pyjamas – slippers on – cup of tea in hand – fire crackling – i’m happy.

I don’t know about you guys but Instagram is my favourite social media platform – I can literally spend forever scrolling through pictures of home decor, makeup and food and before you know it it’s been an hour…. or two..

Just Kidding… but not really.

So for those who may not have the joys of Instagram or haven’t hit that follow button yet, here are some of my latest posts of what i’ve been up to from now and through January.

16522631_10155731364504179_9130287_n

So this was at 8:30 am at Penarth Pier. I was on my way to work and it looked so beautiful, the sunrise made everything look so pretty. Im lucky to live near the sea and the countryside so i’m always snapping the world’s natural beauty.

16650086_10155731364494179_1028985109_n.jpg

On this evening, I spent 3 lovely hours catching up with blog posts, comments and social media. As well as have a cheeky glass of wine or two. I tell you what, this arm chair from ikea is so comfortable and is so cosy to cuddle up on.

 

16559093_10155731364499179_37122727_n

This Milani blush is the perfect colour for me. As I am naturally paler toned, this adds just the right amount of warmth to my skin. Alongside my Ted Baker lipstick this peachy pair is perfect for me.

16650344_10155731364489179_1279220758_n.jpg

Does this need a caption? I love bubbles! This was probably the most bubbly bath I have ever had.

16650344_10155731364529179_1510106530_n

I was super excited to get my hands on the Sweet Peach palette. The colours are so pigmented and they smell gorgeous. If you want to check out my swatch video and blog post then click HERE.

16559139_10155731364534179_529120446_n

For those who are not familiar with Hygge, then I strongly recommend reading this lovely little book. Hygge basically means enjoying the little things in life like candles, cosy cushions, a cup of tea or in my case a hot bath with a glass of wine…

 16652065_10155731364654179_545106084_n

A table for two. This dinner set caught my eye and was a real bargain. It was from Asda and was only £14 for a 16 piece set. My flowers are also from Asda and I got them for £5 – another bargain. Not to mention my rose gold wine glasses from one of my best friends – Heaven.

16558818_10155731364649179_808967807_n

Shadeliers are IN at the moment. Not quite lamp shade not quite chandelier, these pretty things are from Next and add such an elegant feel to the house. I’ve got a matching one in the living room too..

16559140_10155731364644179_1825879910_n

These are actually the pjs i’m wearing right now. They are from Boux Avenue and are so cosy and warm for these winter months. Plus i’ve got grey nails in this photo and I was pleasantly surprised how nice they looked.

16559386_10155731364619179_405634264_n

Im so in love with this shirt from Primark. When I saw it on the mannequin I knew I just had to buy it. It has this cute bow tie on the front and looks great with jeans and heels. #Stripesforlife

16558556_10155731364579179_337728379_n

Anything marble, im there. This notebook was £3 from Primark and is great to keep in my handbag for those essential notes.

16559334_10155731364569179_1231231819_n

Ive been doing a lot of DIY projects lately and this rose bouquet is one of them. I used a candle holder as the vase and arranged the flowers inside. We also had some slate tiles left over so I made a decorative plate for the table. – Quite proud of myself.

16559351_10155731364574179_1789433588_n

Ive been after this Too Faced foundation for such a long time, and after hearing such good reviews, I couldn’t wait to try it myself. The formula is so creamy and dries instantly on the skin. It says medium to full coverage but you can definitely build it up on the skin.

16650496_10155731364584179_1933068920_n

I visited my local flower craft shop to browse silk flowers and was overwhelmed with how many there were. Im making my wedding centrepieces myself so getting inspo from here was perfect.

16559200_10155731364549179_617419908_n

So this stunning building is where im going to get married. We have set a date of 9th September 2018 and we viewed the building a few weeks ago. It has 8-10 chandeliers hanging from the ceiling with carved wooden walls. It was truly breathtaking and we fell in love with the place as soon as we walked in.

16521724_10155731364544179_696403262_n

Last night I wasn’t feeling 100% – full up with a cold. So what better way to spend the evening than with candles galore. It was so relaxing and I felt so much better after letting my body rest and recover.

Gosh thats a lot of photos.

Well as I mentioned guys, Instagram is my fave.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing what I have been up to lately and I would love to see what you guys have been loving too, so send me your links!

In the spirit of Valentines Day, I wanted to create a post featuring my all time fave colour –

PINK.

A lot, and I mean a LOT of the things I own are pink and I love it!

So lets take a look at the things im loving for this valentines season…

Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES

If you don’t already know, this is my new favourite eye shadow palette EVER. It smells gorgeous and the colours are even better, all in the shades of pink.

Click HERE to see my swatch video.

Chanel  Chance Perfume

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES

This perfume is so beautiful. I love keeping perfume boxes (because im weird) and this one is a great addition. The scent is very delicate and feminine and is great for wearing everyday.

Peony and Rose Petal Candle

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES

How cute is this?

This little candle comes on a mirrored plate with a bell jar and bow. When I saw it I just had to get it because it is so sweet! I have one of these in my bathroom and one in the kitchen and maybe a few more around the house….

Carex Love Hearts Handwash

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES

* I adore LOVE HEART sweets and when I received this to try, I knew instantly how delicious it was going to smell. Not only does it make my hands super soft but it also makes me want to drink the entire bottle…. oops

Jack Wills Body wash and spray

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES

Luffas are my thing. It makes any body wash lather up so well and creates bubbles galore. This set from Jack Wills is not only pretty for display but smells divine.

To do List

This notepad is my saviour lately.

Ive got so much going on that I need to either remember or quickly note down so this little book is great to keep in my bag for on the go note taking.

Jack Wills Scarf

SAM_1304.JPG

Cosy or what?

This scarf is more so a blanket its that big! It is so cosy when on and the fabric is super thick and soft. Its really good quality and looks great with a beige coat and boots.

Primark pink jumper

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES

In my Primark Haul video, I showed you guys this cropped pink jumper from Primark. It is so soft and I love to wear it in the evenings. Its a really dusky pink which I LOVE and is so comfy to wear all day…everyday if I wanted.

Click HERE to see the video.

And that is my PINK haul for you guys.

I would love for you all to find your inner pink self and show me your FAVE pink things for this Valentines season.

January Beauty Wish-list!

Uncategorized

 

bistro-bar-san-francisco

 

img_1053-4

 

Its that time of year where Christmas has just been and bank accounts are running low so why on earth would I be thinking of shopping right now?…

Umm…

Because payday is in 3 days thats why.

I wanted to create my January beauty wishlist as there are so many things that I have got my eye on at the moment and I can’t wait to get my hands on them.

Fancy a look what’s inside my shopping cart?

Makeup Revolution Retro Luxe Lip Kit

 

As soon as I heard Makeup Revolution were releasing lip kits, not going to lie, I did scream a little. Im a big fan of their lip products and am in desperate need for the whole collection. Unfortunately they did sell out pretty fast and im not surprised as the colour ranges are stunning.

Who needs a Kylie Lip Kit when you’ve got this huh?

Find them HERE.

Anastasia Beverley Hills Brow Pomade

Eyebrows shape the face and are an important part of my beauty routine. I have seen so many people use this bad boy and get stunning brows effortlessly. Again, the colour ranges are amazing as my brows are quite light in colour naturally. Its formula is also waterproof which means these brows are not budging all day.

At £18 I think its a good price as these pots really do last a long time.

Find them HERE.

MAC Lipstick – Mariah Carey

Do I need to add any words to this?

Look at the packaging! It is stunning. If Mariah was a lipstick, this would actually be her! – Sparkly and Magnificent!

The only downfall is the range in colours, there are not too many but HEY! Its a small collection which is crafted to perfection.

Find them HERE.

Clinique 3-step Moisturising gel

Image result for clinique moisturising gel

My skin could do with a break from this winter.

I have heard magical things about this and am in desperate need for some soft and hydrated skin. This gel is super hydrating which is just what I need after this cold spell were having, and it leaves the face feeling smooth and soft.

It is a bit more than I would like to pay for a moisturiser but if its true what they say – I’ll see a dramatic difference.

Find them HERE.

Essie Cashmere Matte Nail Polish

cashmere matte - effects by essie

Im all about matte right now and when I saw a cashmere MATTE polish, I knew I had to get it.

The collection is very natural to reflect cashmere elegance but thats fine with me as I LOVE neutral nails.

It is also supposed to have a pearl reflectiveness to it which I think will add a bit of extra glam to the fingertips.

Find them HERE.

And that is it guys.

Not too many items on my list, we’ve got to be reasonable now.

Do you guys have any products your hoping to buy on your wishlist? I would love to know!

Let me know yours in the comments!

FINALLY!

I have managed to get my hands on the GORGEOUS Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette!

It is as good as they say guys… It’s stunning.

I bought mine for £39 so a bit on the pricier side but im sure this bad boy is going to last a long time!

Firstly the packaging is so cute and is the most beautiful peach/pink shade with indented peaches all over it.

SAM_1279.JPG

Moving on to the inside… Well..

The smell hits you as soon as you open it! Such a pretty peachy aroma that makes me just want to eat it…thats a bit extreme but HEY!

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES

It comes with 18 beautiful pigmented shades that blow my mind with colour! I just couldn’t believe how rich and deep the colours are with just one swatch.

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES

They range from purples to browns to peaches to pinks and are just so dreamy!

Fancy seeing my swatches? 

SURE YOU DO!

Then look no further….
