Current Favourites

Well, hello (almost) April! Didn't you just creep right up on us!

My baby brain is fried and i'm trying desperately to think what I couldn't live without this past month - these are the things that sprung straight to mind...

Simple Do Sheet Masks?!

I know, I know... I had no idea either! I just can't resist a sheet mask, they're my favourite type of mask! So naturally I couldn't leave Boots without grabbing these babies!

I gravitated towards the De-Stress Mask and the Rich Moisture Sheet Mask... wouldn't you? (lol)

I've tried and love them both...I have to say they are my new skin care obsession! They don't irritate my skin, not one tingle! They don't turn my skin a lovely shade of purple like some products I've tried  do and they don't  break me out.

They say to leave them on for 15 minutes, but I never really pay attention to that and tend to leave them on for about 30 or until I get bored.  The sheets are completely covered/drenched in product so when I take the mask off I rub the product in a little and let the rest sink in on its own.

The De-Stress Mask is super soothing on my skin (lovely to put on while you're having a bath FYI!) and the Rich Moisture Mask leaves my skin feeling all lovely and plump and juicy.  I honestly don't have anything bad to say about these masks, really I don't. Even the price is spot on - you know what, you should gab a few of these now, like right now, go! They're currently on offer for £1.99 (normally £2.99) at Boots. You can thank me later! (link below if you wanna check them out - Ps. I've stocked up on these and currently have a ton in my bathroom cabinet!)

Back At It // Update!

Well, well, well... isn't a new blogpost around here a sight for sore eyes!

Hello and welcome to my first post of 2018! I have to admit I'd sort of given up on the whole blogging thing for a while, I just had far too much going on in both my work and my personal life to even contemplate blogging. But recently iIve been feeling a blah, like really blah and I felt like i needed an outlet again and I remembered that blogging really helped the last time i was feeling like this.

Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, lets jump in to a few updates shall we…

The New "It" Concealer

When Nars brings out a new concealer, you best believe its gunna be the new IT product! With Nars’s sleek packaging and the brands reputation for amazing base products I can totally see why everyone and their mum jumped on this!

I’m head over heels for the Nars radiant creamy concealer, I mean that thing is my ride or die, holy grail, desert island must have concealer, SO when Nars came out with their soft matte complete concealer I needed to give this baby a go, especially after hearing all the beauty bloggers/vloggers bang on about how good it is. So these are my thoughts…

Current Skincare Favourites

As you can guess by the title (and see) I've been loving me a lot skin care recently. I don't know why, but my skin has decided to get even dryer (thanks skin!) lately and i've been piling on the products to try and help it.

Beauty & The Beast // Day Out in London

Well well well, isn't a new blog post a sight for sore eyes around these parts?! I’ve been missing in action for far too long! TBH I just haven't been feeling the whole blogging thang for a while, and I’ve been super busy - I’ve been a total gym bunny lately, thats for another post! - but today I feel like I've got my mojo back and actually want to take the time to sit down and write about something thats happened in my life and share it on my lil ol’ space on the interwebs.

Top Products of 2016 // Makeup

God I love these yearly round ups don't you? I love finding out what products people just couldn't put down and they usually end up straight on my beauty want list!

Happy New Years Eve!

Happy New Years Eve lovelies!

I honestly cant believe how quick 2016 has flown by! In a sad way, I'm going to miss 2016 - I know some crappy things have happened but some pretty awesome things (for me) have happened as well.  I got engaged, I got promoted, I got to see Jurassic Park at the Royal Albert Hall, I got to see the Cinderella ballet at the English National Opera House and I finally got to go to Harry Potter World! I'm so thankful blessed for my Fiancé and the friends and family I have around me.

I know I said I'd be sad to leave 2016 behind but I'm still excited for 2017! I have some pretty grown up stuff coming up you know! Me and the fiancé are hoping to buy a house, I'm buying my first car(!), and I'm really hoping to work on my blog more! I don't really dedicate as much time and energy in to this little space as I could...

Whether you're staying in tonight and ringing in the new year in your PJs or whether you're dressing head to toe in glitter and seeing the new year in on the dance floors - I hope you have a cracking night! Happy New Years Eve my loves, heres to 2017 and all the possibilities another year holds!

Mini Superdrug Haul

You know what its like, when you're shopping with your best gal and she recommends a product that you just cant stop staring at, you just need to get it... and a few extras because its 3 for 2! lol

What I Got For Christmas 2016...

I know these types of posts are a bit hit and miss, but for me, I love being mega nosey and finding out what everybody else got for Christmas, so I'ma show what I got!

To Me, From Me ... My New Tattoo

I know, getting a tattoo is not the most practical thing to get so close to Christmas, especially when you're trying to save your pennies because you need to spend them all on Christmas presents, BUT I just couldn’t help myself and I guess I'm just gunna go with it’s a Christmas present to myself! Isn't she a beaut of a Christmas present though?

Last Minute Christmas Gift Guide/Wish List

At this time of year when we're spending more nights in than "out out", and especially with Christmas literally round the corner and all the brands bringing out their Christmas gift sets, I just seem to want EVERYTHING!

I thought I'd share a few of my current beauty wants with ya'll in case you need some inspiration or simply just want some ideas of what to add to your Christmas wish list…

A Mini Beauty Routine While You Sleep?

In the colder months my skin gets dryer and dryer and I find myself needing to do more to please my skin, but these days who has the time during the week to come home and do a full on spa/pamper session? Well I certainly don’t! What with overtime at work and trying to cram some time in to see your boyfriend/fiancé and friends in the evenings, by the time I'm finished I'm ready for bed and the last thing I want to do is spend half an hour putting on a face mask, waiting for it to dry, washing it off, you know the drill – I wanted something that will work its miracles on me while I'm catching those much needed zzz's.

November Favourites

Wow, I can honestly say that November has been one of the craziest and best months of my life! And hasn’t it just flown by? Does anyone else out there feel like we've been robbed of yet another month of 2016 too soon? I had zero time to dedicate to my little blog in November, but I just couldn't miss doing a monthly favourites post. They're my favourites, not just to write but to read too!

(Late) October Favourites

Well, hello November! You've certainly crept up on us! Am I the only one who feels like October has been a bit of a blur?

It don’t know whether it was because I spent the beginning of October in an out of hospital and generally feeling rather shit, or whether it's because the leaves have only just started to change colour – it just feels like I've been robbed of a month and I haven’t really had much of an October, although I bloody loved Halloween (I didn’t love the hangover I had the next day!)

Anyway, before I get too deep about the loss of October 2016, here are some things that I've been LOVING …

The Halloween Outfit // Stranger Things

Yes, I'm going there... for Halloween this year I've decided (like many others out there I'm sure) to go as Eleven from Stranger things. Stranger Things is one of those CULT shows on Netflix that I really didn't want to like because everyone raved about it but it drew me in and I became instantly and completely OBSESSED! I mean c'mon, who doesn't love this show and wouldn't want to be a part of it (or pretend to be) in some small way?!

I found a few pieces to help get me lookin all Eleven and decided to share them in case any of you awesome lot out there fancy getting your Stranger Things Halloween costume on:-

What Happiness Is To You #3

I woke up this morning and thought to myself that today WAS going to be a good day! I'm determined to have a positive mental attitude and to not let things get me down! I'm a huge advocate of finding the silver linings in situations and finding happiness in all the little things in life.

Mini Boots Haul

After my last "Debbie Downer" blog post, I now bring you a little "I need to pick myself up out of this funk" mini Boots haul.

Now I've been off work for about 3 weeks and spent some of that time in and out of hospital.  Its impossible to be off and not trawl through blog posts and youtube videos hearing all about the latest and prettiest beauty products that everyones loving - I just couldn't handle it anymore so thought I would pull myself out of my sicky post-op funk with a little Boots haul, I fancied trying some "drug store" products out that people seem to rave about and ones that I hadn't tried before...

The Tonsillectomy!

I know my little space on the world wide web is mainly talking about beauty and other crap I like, but I wanted to put this post out there in case there was someone else in my position who wanted to know what its like to go through something like this.

As you can probably guess by the title (and from my lack of posts, if anyone actually follows my little blog), I recently went through a tonsillectomy (yes, its as gross as it sounds!)... I'm so glad I had it done, but if I'm being brutally honest, it was probably one of the worst experiences of my life!...

3 Hair Products I'm Loving Right Now

Say hello to the three hair products that I cant live without right now! Also, can I just say, isn't all the packaging just stunning?!
