St Tropez Gradual Tan Lotion

St Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse

St Tropez Prep and Maintain Tan Applicator Mitt

St Tropez Prep and Maintain Tan Build Up Remover Mitt

Well I had one of those days when I went out for one thing then...... this happened. When you're trying to save, moments like these are painful, but slightly enjoyable. So let's begin..

 I watched a Zoella video and she spoke about these hair products, but I think she spoke about the coconut one, anyway I got the argan oil one as I think it sounded good and I've never tried argan oil before, and I'm currently trying this whole coconut oil pulling with my teeth so slightly sick of coconut oil.. It was also on a 3 for 2 offer, which is always fun, so I was glad to find they did a curl defining cream. I have naturally curly (and frizzy) hair so I always leave it to air dry, so I have tried all sorts of these lotions and potions, hopefully this one lives up to my high hopes for it.

 I walked through John Lewis to get to Asda and accidentally looked at the mac counter and saw this which caught my eye. It's like a glittery pretty gold colour, I never use these eye kohl pencils or anything like this, so it's a tiny bit exciting. I've been lusting over the Mac Soft and Gentle highlighting powder for ageeees now, but I found this in New Look, which is there new makeup range. It's not as pigmented or comes off as easily as I'm sure the Mac version does, but it's pretty none the less.

 I have a small addiction to sunbeds and have for a few years now, ONLY for the summer though, not like a year round thing. I will pop on one a few times a month in the summer, but I love it. Until this year when I read one article too many about skin cancer and the horrible battles people face because of issues such as sun beds and too much sun exposure without sun creme. I have decided to ditch the sunbeds for good and I am now switching to good old tan in a bottle. I was looking at the cheap stuff then I saw that St Tropez was on offer so I decided to splurge. I got the gradual tan lotion and also the self tan bronzing mousse. I such majorly at tan application so I also invested in their mitts, the application one and the one to get it off. I am hoping I will not suck too bad and walk round with a streaky awful tan, but hey, better than a sunbed!

 Aaaaand thats it folks! I hope you enjoyed this post! Please give us a comment and follow for more!

Double Denim | Ootd

Coat - New Look

Top - Gap

Jeans - Gap

Boots - Primark

 I haven't Double Denim'd since the 90s.. I am so in love with this outfit right now. These jeans are so comfortable. I haven't really liked myself in white denim before, until I found these Gap beauties. I'm not a maaaaaassive fan of my legs.. and white never ever looks good on me, bottoms wise, but I love these! They're the Slim Straight fit and have some slight distressing on the jean, which I really like. I've never trusted myself in white however as I tend to always get mucky no matter how hard I try not too, but I just managed a full day without getting these dirty, don't know how. This top is also from Gap and it's gorgeous. It has a slight open back and it's really soft, also comfortable too.

 I'm so happy I finally found a pair of white jeans I acccctually can wear without cringing at myself when I look at me in them! And the ripped detailing on them is so nice. I have a feeling they'll be popping up more on the blog.

Everyday Face

 Can I just firstly say how proud I am for this still-life set up. I can without a doubt preach that this consists of my daily face. I am one of those beings who chose 10 more minutes in bed than 10 more getting ready, I know, shame on me. I have managed to get applying my make-up into a 5 minute routine, and tends to get me through my working day (or whatever I'm up to, usually work though).

 Starting off with a cleaning and moisturising combo, I apply Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation, which is one of my favourite foundations on the high street. I apply this with honestly, whichever of my brushes is clean, but I usually use my Sigma flat kabuki brush or one of the Real Techniques brushes. I then use the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer which is again, my favourite concealer on the high street. It's beyond amazing and covers up my eye-baggles and blemishes well and lasts long on my face. I dab this onto my face in all the right areas I want it on, then use a clean concealer brush from my collection (not to brag, I have a few!). I really don't like using my fingers to apply makeup so I will rarely.

I then set this with my old trusty favourite, the Mac Mineralise Skin Finish Natural. I have been using this for years and years. I've never really tried anything else in the powder department, which is something I am looking to change, but for now, this will do amazingly. I then use Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder with my large Sigma powder brush. Lost count how many of these I have gone through!

 I then apply on my eyelids the Mac Paint Pot in Painterly, another product I have used religiously for years. This everyday face line up seriously hasn't changed much over the years, just the foundation to something cheaper as girl couldn't afford Dior and Mac for everyday foundation! I don't tend to bother with eyeshadow everyday, if I do I will use my Urban Decay Naked 2 or 3 palette for something quick and easy. I do always however apply eyeliner to the top lip, and I use (not pictured) the Rimmel Exaggerate Liquid Eyeliner.

 Quick swipe of Benefit's Gimme Brow to tame the 'brows, and a swipe or two of either Benefit Roller Lash or Maybelline Lash Sensational which both do the same thing, curl and lengthen my lashes. I honestly love both, but maybe Roller Lash a tad more..  THEN last but not least, I give Mac Fix + a good spray on my face.

 It may change a little but mainly 100% this is my everyday makeup line up. It's quick, easy and works for me. I have used the products for many years now, and I love love them.

Ootd | Interview Outfit

 

Dress - High Street Outlet*

Sleeveless Blazer - New Look

Tights - Primark

Bracelet - Pandora

Shoes - New Look (Old)

 I had an interview a little while ago and I wanted to share what I wore for it. I kindly received this dress and it saved my life. I had no idea what to wear. I did plan an outfit but last minute the day of, my mind decided I didn't like the chosen outfit anymore, and the panic commenced. Luckily this bad boy was hanging up and I love love love it. This dress is fitted with a knot detailing at the front, and is very flattering. I have worn it several times since and it has made its way firmly in my staple items.

 I wore it with this white sleeveless blazer from New Look. The sleeveless outerwear trend has been big for spring and I'm loving it so much. I have one of these in way too many colours, it's such an easy look to pull off and can transform any look, whether it be casual or formal.

 I also hated what I had chosen to wear on my feet, standard, so I wore these old New Look pumps with the metal bar detail. I really like these style of shoes, and for once I find them comfy. I don't know what it is with my feet, anything that isn't trainers, they don't like.

 I hope you like this outfit! Please leave and comment and follow :)

April Favourites

Oh hello H&M Home marble effect tray <3 Yes it's now May time and like everyone else, I have collected my products I have reached for the most this month and typed about them. ENJOY!

 First things first, (Iggy Azealia tune) I kid.. Nip + Fab have been a favourite brand of mine for the past few months, with my obsession growing mad, mainly for the Glycolic range products. I LOVE the cleanser as well but it was in my shower during photographing time and I didn't want my bed to get all wet and gunky, but the cleanser is definitely a monthly obsession of mine, and this overnight serum. Well them all really, but I couldn't shoot them all for this image (trays too small).

 The other month when I was doing my stock up of Rimmel's Wake me Up foundation, I picked up this BB cream as I had never tried it before and wanted to see if this was any good or not. I didn't use it much but lately I've really been grabbing this for some reason. It's quick and easy to apply and it doesn't make my skin look all blotchy, anddd powder goes nicely on top of it which I like.

 Lash Sensational is brilliant. I am obsessed with Benefit's Rollerlash but this is just as good. It's so good for my everyday quick grab mascara and makes my lashes look long and luscious. It's a pain in the bum to get off sometimes I've found but other than that, it's amazeballs.

 I recieved the Zoeva Luxury Rose Gold brush collection for Valentines day from the boyf and they're amazing brushes. It does mean now if he catches me looking at brushes he's always like 'but I brought you brushes, you don't need anymore..' but what do men know, ey. This Luxe Sheer Cheek brush is by far my favourite from the collection, (excuse the dirtiness) as it puts on my product amazingly and easily. And doesn't it just look pretty (prettier when actually clean).

 Finally to a constant and trusty favourite of mine, the Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions moisturiser. I have been using from the Clinique Anti-Blemish collection for years now, and this moisturiser is just great. It feels so nice and refreshing on the skin, sinks in lovely and helps clear up my problem skin, which is awful at the moment... gods sake.

 And there they are in all their splendour. I hope you enjoyed this post, give it a comment if so, and be sure to follow on Bloglovin for more posts from moi!

Nip + Fab Review | Glycolic Fix Range

Glycolic Fix Serum

Glycolic Fix Pads

 Glycolic Fix Cleanser

Glycolic Scrub Fix  

 I have been wanting to try from Nip + Fab and more specifically the Glycolic Fix range for ages now. Not just because Kylie Jenner is the new ambassador for them (although Kylie is Queen), but because I've just heard such good things about these products and I'm on a massive skincare hype at the moment. 

 I have only been using these for a little while now, but I can clearly see the results already. My skin feels so much cleaner, purer and softer, and my annoying constant redness is dying down! Praise the lord! Having these products also makes me actually want to use them and look after my skin.

 Each one of these products is super easy to use and apply, and in my eyes, seem to be working well. Which I'm mega happy about as if I were to hate these products I'd be quite upset, as Nip + Fab are a brand I love and Kylie is Queen. If they're good enough for her then they must be amazing!

 I keep the cleanser and scrub in the bathroom and either use them in the shower or just over the sink before bed or when I'm getting ready for the day. I don't use both each time but they do work so nicely together, well, as they should! The scrub is great when you've had a heavy makeup day, as it feels so good getting it all off and having a good facial scrub, and the cleanser is more gentle to use.

 The rest sit with all my other products and I love using the pads as they make my face feel so clean! I will use them twice a day religiously and I love the overnight serum. It doesn't feel too heavy and dries really quickly on my skin.

 My favourite from the range, well this is tough as I love them all, but probably has to be the Cleanser as I love the feeling after I use it and it's so nice to use.

I ordered these off Superdrug's online site as they had an amazing offer at the time but you can buy directly off their website here, with free UK delivery on all orders over £10, which is amazing, and I will definitely be repurchasing these items when they're all gone so I will at one point take advantage off the free delivery.

Next I would love to try their Yoga Blend range, as they sound lush and nice to use. Also their Dragon's Blood range sounds good too! All the Nip + Fab!

 Have you tried any Nip + Fab products? What do you think of the Glycolic Fix range?

Lush Easter Collection | Mini Haul

 

I know it's after Easter but I had this on draft and thought theyre too sweet not to post!

 I didn't mean to pop into Lush at all as I'm trying so hard to save money, but I have spotted so many pretty things on Instagram and it was hard walking past the shop without at least looking inside.... and whoops, I picked up this cute little Bunny, and then went to the till where shamelessly but cleverly placed was this Easter Egg which I smelt and then could not walk away without buying. Both these products look so cute and smell amazing, especially the Easter Egg, and I cannot wait to try them.

 The Hoppity Poppity bath bomb was £2.50 and looks so sweet I don't want to use it! The product contains popping candy which I'm really excited to see how it goes whilst in the bath, should be hopefully interesting!

 Then next is the Fluffy Egg bath bomb which is £2.95 AND SMELLS AMAZING. Any fan of Snow Fairy (I have been buying Snow Fairy religiously every Christmas for years now, it's the best) will be immediately drawn to this bath bomb after smelling, as the candy floss scent is just so yummy, I just can't. I can't. It smells so so so so good. I'm hoping it works as good in the bath as it does smells!

 And I had to stop here otherwise I would've walked out leaving all my money in the till, which I would love to do but it isn't wise at all!

 Did you buy anything from the Lush Easter collection?

OOTD #3 | Spring Has Arrived

Trenchcoat - New Look

Bag - New Look

Playsuit - High Street Outlet*

Boots - Primark

Sunglasses - New Look

 

  How gorgeous has the weather been these past few days?! If not by you then I feels, but here where I live it's been b.e.a.utiful. Warm and sunny weather just makes me so happy!

 This playsuit is so lovely and floral and perfect for spring, and only like £7.95 which is fabulously cheap, link is here. They have pockets as well which is always a bonus with clothing isn't it!?! Who doesn't love the odd pocket every now and again, so handy.

 It gets chilly from all the sea winds here so I wore my trusty New Look trench which I am in love with, and I have been wearing my New Look oval shaped tortoiseshell sunglasses non-stop lately. It's so amazing when you find a suiting pair of sunglasses isn't it!?

Hope you enjoyed this outfit post! Please comment and follow for more from this blog :)

Outfit #2 | Amsterdam Exploring 2

Trenchcoat - New Look

Scarf - New Look

Dress - Missguided

Shoes - New Look

 Another outfit from my recent Amsterdam trip, which was an amazing time. I did not take this trench coat off the entire time (well apart from sleeping and washing, the obvious, I mean out and about, you know what I mean) not just because it was a bit chilly at times but because I just adore it. It makes any outfit just look so chic and effortless.

 This striped oversized dress from Missguided is another massive wardrobe favourite of mine right now. I love oversized clothing and this dress just looks so sweet and adorable on, and it's comfy and not too short! Which is something I really struggle with, especially with Missguided.. I wore this to work one day and the woman who sits near me ordered it online approx. 20 minutes later after asking me where it was from. I always get complimented on this dress, it really is lovely, simple, yet lovely.

 As it was cold, I needed to wear some black tights, all hail the Primark Super Cosys! Cannot go wrong with a good pair of Super Cosys. I again wore these New Look slip ons which are so comfy and a SS15 footwear trend I actually really like. And finally, my trusty gold metallic rucksack was also worn with this outfit.

 Hope you enjoyed this post :) Please comment and follow for more posts to come.

March Favourites

Clinque - Anti-Blemish Solutions Clearing Gel

MAC - Velvet Teddy

Nip +  Fab - Glycolic Fix pads

Benefit - Watts Up

Benefit - Roller Lash

 I like doing monthly favourites as it reminds me to start sorting out all my bills and that. Also makes me realise how fast the months actually go by! You always hear people saying 'I can't believe it's April already!' or so on, but I literally cannot believe it! It's insane how quickly months go by!

 My skin is awful at the moment and I hate it! I've properly gone on a skincare hype right now, just ordered a load of Nip + Fab skincare products I've been dying to try, and my favourite so far has to be these Glycolic Fix facial pads. You wipe all over your face with them and afterwards it feels so fresh and nice. The only thing I don't like about this product is the fact the tub doesn't really feel like its shut properly, so I worry the pads will all dry up, but other than that the product itself is really nice.

 And again with the skincare, I swear by this Clinque spot gel, swear by it. If I feel a spot coming or ones come and is giving me grief, I just pop this on it either once or twice, and then it calms down and then disappears. I have religiously used the Clinque Anti-Blemish range since I was a young teenager and will forever to (unless I find something completely amazing to take over the range) as it just works well for my skin and its just the best in my eyes!

 My boyfriend did something incredibly sweet this month. We just went to Amsterdam for a mini break on our week off and he told me on our last day that I had a surprise waiting for me when I got home. I had literally no idea what it was and when we got back there was a package and inside was Velvet Teddy, something I had been wanting for bloody ages and I'm pretty sure the girls in my local Mac store are sick of me asking about. It was so sweet how he knew, although he had been with me a few times when I had gone in and asked whilst buying something else, but still. He's the best! I've been wearing it loads, it's a really beautiful shade. I feel like I can't wear anything heavy on the eyes with it though as I feel like a drag queen, but its such a beautiful lip colour.

 And finally, I swear I've had these before but I LOVE THem and they're the Benefit Watts Up and the RollerLash which is life changing. I really want to try Mac's Soft and Gentle, but for now, Watts Up makes it onto my face nearly every single day, it just gives the best glow. And RollerLash actually gives me lashes, and it's just an amazing beautiful product. I has made me want to try the They're Real mascara as well, but again, for now, RollerLash just dominates my mascara collection, all others are irrelevant now.

 Have any of these products made your monthly favourites as well?

 And that's it folks! Thank you for reading, please comment and follow for more from my blog!
