The Experimenter | Review

Lush has been one of my favourite brands for quite some time now, I love the whole idea behind the brand and the products are really amazing too. Everything is fresh, 100% Vegetarian, handmade and most importantly cruelty free! 

New and Old Skincare Products

Skincare is something I will either religiously stay on top of or I just won't bother at all and by that I mean, sleeping with my make-up on-face wipes don't even cross my mind. But I do love skincare, buying new skincare is a guilty pleasure, I love browsing the isles of Boots or House Of Fraser in search of something new. 

Mini Boots Haul & Review

Hi everyone, hope you had a great weekend! Today I have a mini Boots haul and review, these purchases I did get almost a month ago but I thought it would be nice to try them out and let you know my thoughts instead of just showing a haul and then a few weeks later separately reviewing them. I popped into boots and had a little money left over on a gift card so thought I would check out a few new/old products and things I'd heard about that interested me.

All Black Bloggers Fashion Week Outfit Inspiration

So about a week ago I received an email from The Blogger Hangout group, all about the Bloggers Fashion Week which is happening this Monday, the 7th September, unfortunately I won't be able to attend this blogger event but in the email were details about a competition they are holding and it really interested me. To enter they had a few options to choose from but I decided to go with the 'All Black Bloggers Fashion Week Outfit Inspiration' I usually wear some sort of black item of clothing daily anyway-my wardrobe is a mixture of mostly black, grey and white-so I knew it would be easy to come up with outfit ideas. 

Ed Sheeran & Harry Potter Studios

So this month I did something pretty exciting and something I have wanted to do for a long time. Not only has the weather been amazing this month (the weekend I went away anyway!) which makes everything better but I went to London to see Ed Sheeran perform at Wembley and to the Harry Potter Studios, it was a great weekend away.

W7 In The Buff Palette Review

A few weeks ago I was browsing on Amazon and came across the W7 In The Buff eyeshadow palette, I usually always gravitate towards palettes so it wasn't a surprise that this one interested me. I'd seen it pop up a few times lately online and it's had pretty good thing's said about it and seemed like something I would enjoy.

Dirty Dancing On Stage!

When I saw that Dirty Dancing On Stage was coming to Theatre Royal Plymouth, I couldn't wait to go. For those who don't know Dirty Dancing is an unexpected love story between seventeen year old daddy's girl Frances 'Baby' Houseman who falls for the rebellious camp dance instructor Johnny Castle. Here are my thoughts on the show!

Would You Rather//Beauty Tag

This tag has been floating around recently-for me it has anyway-and it seems like a really fun one to do and if you look through my blog you'll see I am a big fan of tag posts. I recently saw this post done by a few different people

and thought it would be a bit of fun.

Holidaying in Barcelona

Recently I took a trip to Barcelona with my Boyfriend and the rest of his family, there were 11 of us in total and we all had an amazing time away! I thought I would put together a post with a few photos I took to give you an idea of what you can expect, I definitely recommend going if you haven't already as there is so much to see-the cultural side is beautiful! Barcelona was definitely one that I wanted to tick off my bucket list! 

My Topshop Sale Picks

Sales. Pre-summer sales. Right now they're everywhere and I am loving it! Topshop is my favourite high street store, everything is always great, so whenever they have a sale on I am there! Unfortunately my bank account isn't loving the fact there are sales everywhere and I am also saving up to go hopefully go on holiday.

 So I thought it would be a good idea to pick out what I would buy, kinda like a haul except your not spending a penny...and you don't actually get the clothes...so not really like a haul at all but they're fun either way!

5 Product #FOTD

Whilst on holiday recently I only brought a small amount of make-up with me, so I was usually wearing the same look each night and now back in England I seem to be wearing it here too. It's perfect for spring/summer days as it is a very minimal make-up look but can easily be turned into a night time look with a few additions (let me know if you'd like to see that look). So I thought I'd share what I had been using-I hope you enjoy!

Prairie Charms//Prairie Pizzazz Box

Now this is a slightly different post to what I normally do but its for a good reason-promise! Just over a month a go now via twitter a lovely company called Prairie Charms contacted me and asked if I'd like to be part of their new upcoming launch. At first I was slightly hesitant I'll admit-I'd only been blogging for a few weeks! but after many messages were exchanged and their customer service was very friendly and informative about the scheme I decided to give it a go! And now I am here to introduce to you the 'Prairie Pizzazz'.

What I Got For My Birthday 2015

I am one of those people that love to know what people receive for their Birthday or for Christmas, I find it so interesting-probably just called being nosey but especially when it comes to this sort of thing. I'm the same with room/house tours and what's in my bag posts/videos, I can't get enough! And I know I'm not the only one because they are such popular topics...  

Monthly Favourites//May 2015

So last month I posted my April Monthly Favourites and really enjoyed it and also when you think about it getting to know what I've been loving myself. So here is a list of everything I have been loving beauty/non beauty during the month of May.

Summer Clothing HAUL

Lets face it, Summer for me is just an excuse to go shopping and also the fact that I'm off on holiday and my birthday fall around the same time means it's simply impossible to not buy a few summer bits!

So here I have a summery haul for you all, with bits from Topshop, HnM, Asos and Primark. I hope you enjoy!

My Packing Tips

Now I am someone that enjoys packing, I'm not afraid to say it. I love the excitement of getting everything together for a trip and organising it all, obviously I'm no expert but I do have a few tips that I have learnt over the past few years that help me make the most of my suitcase space and also know what I am and aren't allowed to take.

Homeware Wishlist

If there is one thing i love more than clothes and make-up shopping, pizza and tv series, it's homeware! I have been obsessed with everything homey for several years now-I guess it's just because I'm getting older-but every time i see something homey, I want to buy it. I don't have my own home yet-I still live with my dad and younger sister-so I cant exactly fill the house with things only I want (although I try!) but I can get a few bits and bobs for my bedroom, bathroom and the kitchen. This post will also contain some things on the pricier side, that I'd love to one day own, so I hope you enjoy! 

money-free weekend ideas

Now I'm all about saving money when I can but terrible when it comes to spending money on things to do during the week/weekend. Now it depends who I'm with (family/friends/boyfriend) but on days when I have nothing to do I love to go shopping, eating out, going for coffee etc etc and it all cost money-more than I'd like to know-so when I have nothing to do with my days there are a few things I enjoy doing that don't cost money and I am here to share these with you today. 

So if payday hasn't come around yet, you're living off a student loan or just looking to save a bit of money when you can hopefully I have an idea for you here-hope you enjoy!

Mini Lush Haul

Lush has been one of my favourite shops to go into for years now, I remember when the nearest shopping centre to me opened up and walking into Lush for the first time and smelling the most amazing smells and being obsessed with the shower jellies. Now I'm older the obsession hasn't gone and when I first found out that they don't test on animals, everything is fresh and handmade and 100% vegetarian that was all just a bonus! Whenever I am doing some shopping I will most definitely take a look in Lush. Whether I am looking to try something new or stocking up on favourites I'm sure to leave with something, so here is a mini haul from my last shopping trip. 

KIKO Milano-Haul and Review

I'd only ever really seen KIKO products a few times on blog posts/videos and it wasn't a brand I was particularly familiar with. So a few weeks ago I decided to make a few online orders (make-up and skincare posts here) and thought I'd take a look at the KIKO website. The first thing I noticed was the price of products £3.90 for a lipstick, £7.50 for a blush! Normally I do agree with the saying if you spend more the quality is better and a lot of the time this is true but I couldn't resist the low prices!

HAUL//Part Two Skincare

I wont ramble on too much as hopefully you've checked out my part one of this haul all about make-up. This one is for you skincare addicts everything from a face mask, to a gradual tanner! I hope you enjoy!

HAUL//Part One Make-up

Ever since I placed the online orders for all of these products I haven't been able to stop thinking about when I would get a knock at the door to receive all of these goodies, I haven't actually purchased anything apart from maybe a nail polish or concealer since Christmas time, purely because there wasn't really anything I needed and thought I'd try and use up the products I already own. 

Anyway I decided it was time to do a few online orders-I may of gone a bit over board, there's also a big Kiko Cosmetics haul that I will be posting soon! I've decided to turn all of the things I purchased into two posts one for make-up and the other skincare/body just because there might be some people out there that only want to see one or the other. I hope you enjoy! 

48 Questions Tag

So its currently 01:15am and I am up in bed wondering what to do, it has been a few days since I last posted so thought I'd come back with a tag for you to all read and hopefully learn a bit about me. I searched for a while to get some good questions to answer and found these from the blog OrchardGirls-I hope you enjoy! 

The Liebster Award

Firstly I would like to start off by saying thank you to Katelyn Mcphee for my Liebster Award and for the chance to interact with many more bloggers. For those who don't know the award only exists on the internet and is given to bloggers by bloggers. (for those I've nominated, keep reading)

My Favourite Lip Products

I'm not super adventurous with what I put on my lips, most days I just go with a tinted lip balm if I want some colour, I guess I don't want to go for a bold lip and have to keep checking its not on my teeth or half way up my face but when I do wear a lipstick, gloss or stain I do have a few of my favourites that I will always grab for, there is only one high end and the are rest are drug store. Obviously there are other products I love (Ysl Rouge Volupte, Mac, Nars) but I find that the ones I'm going to mention work best with my style and suit my fair skin. I hope you enjoy!

The Netflix Tag

Now like a lot of people my age I love to sit down and watch a movie or tv show, much less now as I can be quite busy but whenever I have any spare time I'll try and fit in an episode of my favourite programme-I'm only human-and that is why I decided to do the Netflix tag. I have seen a few other bloggers do this tag and I love seeing what people are watching and thought you might want to see what I have been loving, its also a great way to get recommendations.

Monthly Favorites-April 2015

I've noticed in the past month or so that there has been a few items of clothing, accessories, beauty and skincare, that I haven't been able to stop using -we all have them-the new pair of boots that simply go with everything or the healthy (or not so healthy) snack you've been obsessed with, whatever it is, its something that you really really like and therefore if you are a blogger, you feel the need to share your favourites with everyone!So here I have put together my 'Monthly Favourites' for you lovely lot to take a look at-I hope you enjoy!

Spring #FOTD Products

Now please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks 2015 is going way too quickly!? Which only means one thing, we can start putting away our dark berry red lippys and trade them in for our coral/orangy pinks because summer is almost upon us and if there is one thing I love more than pizza, buying new clothes and my cat (well almost love just as much) its changing out my winter makeup for my spring/summer beauties. 

So here I have my typical spring/summer time makeup products, with light coverage on my skin-with SPF of course-I bronze up the hollows of my cheeks, apply a coraly shimmery blusher and a champagne highlighter to cheek bones with minimal eye make up, perfect effortless look with a fresh, almost summer kissed glow.

Coastal walk in Cornwall

Berry Good Smoothie

Now i am a huge fan of smoothies and juices, they're such a great way to get loads of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants into your body without having to eat a tonne of fruit! But I do know that it can sometimes be tricky to think of new and exciting juices and smoothies, especially when your limited to ingredients or simply didn't get enough sleep and the last thing you want to be doing is trying to come up with a juice recipe! 

My Bucket List

This is one of my favourite topic type of blog posts/Youtube videos to watch, I just love listening/reading about what people want to achieve, or where they'd love to visit. There is something nice about hearing people have dreams and aspirations especially when the younger generation seem to think that having goals is silly and not something to talk about.

All about that green juice

First things first (no not another iggy song) green juice, it seems to be on everyone's minds recently, people love looking at pictures of it-guilty! they love drinking, it making it and everything else in between, it is the ugg boot in drink form, though a lot healthier and you look way cooler having one of these in your hands! Anyway I'll get onto it, here is my favorite green juice recipe! 

"My mind says pancakes but my bikini says green juice!"

Lunch by the sea

During the past few weeks England has been having some amazing weather, hasn't exactly been hot but the sun has been out and everyone is loving it!

So, last weekend me and my boyfriend decided to go out for lunch which is something we like to do when were not busy. We've been to Padstow in Cornwall many times and its one of our favorite places to get lunch, everyone is so friendly, there is some lovely restaurants and cafes and a great place to get an ice cream or some fish and chips on a nice day.
