Simple Mermaid Halloween Look

Monday 30 October 2017


I am a massive Halloween fan I always love to get into the spirit be that by baking, dressing up or watching an insane amount of horror films.

As we were actually going out to celebrate Halloween this year by visiting the local prison for a scream park I figured dressing up was a must!

I wanted to try something a bit different this year, in the last few years I went for the creepy broken doll look this time around I have attempted a simple mermaid look.

Payday Treats!

Friday 25 August 2017

I think we are all guilty of having the after pay-day splurge.
That moment after just being paid where we decide we can now treat ourselves to anything and everything that we have been lusting over for the past few weeks.

I had a mini-splurge the other week on some new skincare essentials from L'Oreal's new range.

L'Oréal Pure Clay Glow Mask Review

Tuesday 10 January 2017

I was lucky enough for Christmas to get my hands one of the L'Oreal Pure Clay Masks. I opted for the glow mask for two reasons one I want to have nice bright non-tired skin and two out of the three this one smelled the nicest!

Glamglow Mini Haul


This is a very belated post but on Black Friday (yes that long ago) I had a small haul on the Glamglow UK website. I did not know they had a UK website so I jumped at a chance to give these a try.

For those of you that don't know GlamGlow have a load of different face masks on sale to suit your skins needs.

Lush: Shoot for the Stars Bathbomb


I'm back again with another Lush bathbomb review. I know what your thinking are all your posts for January going to be Lush related and the answer is.....maybe.

I was very fortunate to be bought for Christmas the Northern Lights gift box and included in this was the Shoot for the Stars bathbomb.

Lush: The Comforter Bubble Bar

Thursday 5 January 2017


Another day and another Lush post this time on The Comforter Bubble Bar.
While in Birmingham shopping over Christmas me and my friend went and had a look and a sniff around Lush.
I came across the Comforter and it has the most wonderful scent of blackcurrant.

This is one of Lush's bubble bars which is not the same as their bath bombs. Something I did not realise till dropping it in the bath and realising it was not doing much of anything. (I'm a bubble bar newbie ok).

How My 2016 Went

Saturday 31 December 2016

2016 has flown by and we're all getting ready to welcome in a new year.

So I thought I would share with you all what 2016 was like for me.

There were some amazing highs I visited New York for the first time it's been at the top of my bucket list since I was around 13.
This holiday was fantastic and despite me getting ill the day before going I powered through and honestly I loved it. The sights were everything I'd imagined and more. My favourite had to be the Empire State Building at night it was stunning!

I started a distance learning degree with my work. Progression and all that once I complete this job will have a Bachelor of Science. I've finished two modules so far and have achieved solid 2:1 marks in both. Wasn't sure how I was going to fare with uni work but turns out I'm managing it rather well.

Winter Lipstick Choices
It's almost Christmas where has the time gone and how have I managed to post for Blogmas nearly every day madness! I thought I would quit after the first week.

Todays Blogmas post for you all is on my winter lipstick choices, if you read my blog or follow me on Twitter you will know that I am a massive lipstick fan. I own far too many with some of them being similar shades (what can I say I'm a sucker for a dark red.)

Rate or Slate: Nyx Lingerie Liquid Lipsticks

Monday 28 November 2016

As you can probably guess from my many posts I am a big fan of liquid lipsticks especially matte liquid lipsticks. I've been waiting for ages for the NYX Lingerie Liquid Lipsticks to be stocked in Boots and finally the other day I went in and realised my prayer had been answered.

Don't get me wrong I could have ordered these online but as some of the shades looked similar I wanted to see the swatches for myself.

Jeffree Star Rose Matter Velour Liquid Lipstick Review

Wednesday 23 November 2016



I'm a massive fan of Jeffree Star Cosmetics particularly the Velour Liquid Lipsticks. One colour I have been dying to get my hands on for a while was Rose Matter. You literally have to keep up to date with the Jeffree Star social media accounts as restocks of each colour are sporadic and random.

Finally though I have my hands on this colour and wanted to share with you my thoughts and a lip swatch for pale skin. 


Kylie Cosmetics Ginger and Kymajesty Review

Sunday 20 November 2016

I had a sneaky purchase off of Kylie Cosmetics at the end of October. This was when they had the offer on that every order would receive a free Kymajesty Metal Matte lipstick.
I was really tempted by the Kymajesty when it was first released but wasn't sure if I would be able to pull it off so decided against it. When this offer came up I jumped at the chance, considering how much the delivery is a free lipstick seemed like a pretty sweet deal.

Along with the Kymajesty I ordered the single Ginger Liquid Lipstick. Here are my thoughts on both of these products and some lipswatches.


Korean Beauty from TK Maxx

Saturday 5 November 2016


I've heard so many rave reviews of Korean beauty products and how good they are for your skin. 
I've been wanting to try something Korean beauty wise for awhile and the other week while I was in TK Maxx I noticed they had a whole rack of these animal themed face masks. 
I already love a good face mask so I knew I had to try one. It turns out the face masks are actually animal themed and make you look like the animal on the box. You get three face masks in a box. This one is The Creme Shop Wake Up, Skin! Animated face mask. In rejuvenating coconut gel. This one in particular was £3.99.

Sleek I Divine Vintage Romance Palette Review

Wednesday 28 September 2016

I am a huge fan of Sleek Makeup affordable products with a high end brand type quality yes please!
One of my favourite purchases thus far is their Vintage Romance eyeshadow palette.

Beauty: Kylie Cosmetics Leo Lip Kit Review

Tuesday 13 September 2016


I'm FINALLY getting round to reviewing the Kylie Cosmetics Leo Lip Kit! I bought this on the first launch of the Birthday Edition, I had been waiting for a dark red lip kit as I am obsessed with the colour and I am a big fan of the Kylie Cosmetics formula.

Delivery
I would note that this took AGES to go through customs and probably arrived at my house almost 2 weeks after arriving in London. While this has nothing to do with Kylie Cosmetics because of the brands reputation I was getting frustrated and feared it lost. We all know how hard it would be to get a refund! Thankfully this did eventually arrive and somehow I did not get charged customs.

Beauty: Boots Freebie

Monday 22 August 2016


While I was in Boots browsing a few weekends back now they were having a raffle on for Macmillan cancer. I love a good raffle but I never win but of course I still had to have a go. This time was not an exception and again I did not win. The kind Boots lady seeing that I had lost offered me one of their Christmas bags, which I gratefully accepted!

Kylie Cosmetics: Posie K Gloss

Sunday 14 August 2016

I've had a couple of purchases from Kylie Cosmetics recently much to the dismay of my bank account! One of my orders I've had a bit of a mare with and it's taken ages to get delivered! Not been a happy bunny and usps tracking is so slow!
Anyway one of the two orders that has arrived is my Posie K gloss.
I'm not much of a gloss girl often preferring the Matte Lip but as I love the colour of Posie K so much I figured I had to give it a go.

There's a Dupe For That..

Tuesday 2 August 2016


I have been doing a lot of dupe tweets lately after all who doesn't love a good dupe!? Similar products to the high end brands but at a third of the cost! I have decided to share with you via blog post some of the dupes I own.

Zoella Beauty: Sweet Inspirations. Worth the Hype?

Monday 20 June 2016

I finally caved into the Zoella beauty hype! The previous Zoella beauty releases have not grabbed me I just did not see the hype sure the ranges smelled nice but there were cheaper options around. Then the Sweet Inspirations range dropped and I knew I had to try it!

Belated May Favourites

Sunday 12 June 2016



A rather belated May favourites here. I would like to say it's because I have been busy but honestly I haven't had any motivation to write. As blogging is something I enjoy I did not want to force myself into writing blogs when I just have not felt like it.

On with the post! Here are my favourite things from the month of May. Mostly make-up - I have definitely had a bit of a splurge.
