Ootd: Crop top and red boots

Hello Everyone,

It has been getting a bit colder in England so today I will be showing you a ootd that is more suitable for colder weather (not for when there's a heat wave). This ootd is a bit more dressed up than my last one but the mock on Dr.Martens make is look more casual. If you would like to dress it up then you could maybe wear some black wedges or just simply add more jewellery. I hope this ootd gives you guys an inspiration on what to wear on the colder days leading up to summer. (the lighting in this photo isn't amazing so it does make me look quite washed out)


Chain necklace- River Island
Crop top - Primark - £4
Chain bracelet- New look
Black and pink lightweight blazer - Debenhams
Black heigh-waisted leggings - Primark - £3
Red mock on Dr.Martens - Christmas present

I hope you enjoyed this ootd and I am hoping it has given you a inspiration. Share it with all your friends and family.

Products I've Used Up / Empties

Hello Everyone,

Today I would like to share the products that I have used up. Today I am going to be talking about these products. I have used most of these products up because I love them. 


The first thing I would like to talk about are the Charlie sprays. The Charlie sprays are body fragrances that smell like perfumes. The Charlie collection has a wide range of scents to suit everyone. I am currently obsessed with the Charlie sprays, I always stock up on them. I have a couple more but I just picked out the red one to talk about. The red scent is a very flowery scent perfect for spring. The smell lasts all day.


The next thing I would like to talk about is the St. Ives apricot face scrub. This stuff is amazing if you want very soft, smooth skin. The ex-foliating beads aren't harsh on the skin and they don't leave your skin red after using it (like some products do). This scrub is perfect for all skin types, it is also oil free and it has 100% natural exfoliants. I actually got recommended this product and I am so happy that I have been using it because I have seen a massive difference in my skin. I like to massage this onto my skin then rinse it off with warm water but you could massage it onto your face and then leave it on your face for a couple of minutes (like a face mask)


Another St. Ives product I have been using and I have used up is the St Ives gentle facial cleansing wipes. These wipes are really good for dry and sensitive skin but St Ives do have different types to suit your skin the most. The wipes contain natural aloe Vera extract that helps make your skin soft and smooth whilst removing your makeup. These wipes are also good for summer days when you don't have any makeup on and you want to wash your face on the go , you can just use these wipes.


The next Product I would like to talk about is the seventeen doll'd up mascara. This mascara is amazing if you want your lashes to be defined and have more volume. I've got this mascara in the colour black. The brush is bent a little bit which makes it easier to apply the mascara to the bottom of your lashes for more volume. This mascara proves to give you a up to 24 hour curl. It defines your lashes to make you look like you have doll like lashes.


The next product I have used up is the Nivea pearly shine lip balm. It gives you a pearly shine while making your lip soft and smooth. It has a pinky colour to it. I have been using this products for over 4 years and would highly recommend it.



The next product is the Original Source cranberry and honey daily scrub. I love the original source products because they are all natural. I bought this product during Christmas and used it up then stocked up on it because I didn't know if it was a limited edition thing. This is my last bottle and I am not sure if you can still buy this. It is a good scrub because it is natural and its not harsh (like some scrubs can be) yet is still does an amazing job at ex-foliating. I bought this from boots.


The next 2 products that I would like to talk about are the Satinique extra volume shampoo and conditioner. These products work really well on fine, flat hair (like mine). I have struggled with finding the perfect shampoo and conditioner for so long and I have finally found them. These don't make your hair greasy they just give a big lift at the roots. These products also make your hair thicker and prevent split ends.


The last product I want to tell you about is the Artistry tinted moisturiser. I have had this product for almost a year and have used it all up. It contains SPF 15 which is very good for summer because it will prevent you from getting sunburnt. It blends very easily into your skin giving you a very nice matte but glowy finish. It is also very creamy.


I hope you guys enjoyed my blog post. Share it with your friends and family.

Review: MUA lipstick

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to be reviewing 3 of MUA's lipsticks. I recently watched a youtuber talking about them and after I found out that they were only £1 I decided that I wanted to try 1. I originally only bought one but now I have 3.  Any time Iam near a Superdrug I always go in to look at the MUA makeup because it is cheap and the quality is pretty good. 


I have 2 normal colours and one matte one.
The colours I have are: (left to right) 
Shade 15 - Juicy
Matte lipstick: Pouty pink
Shade 12



These lipsticks are quite good for their amazing price (£1). They are really pigmented and very creamy.
They also smell quite nice too. The lipstick on the far right is a glitter lipstick, the one in the middle is a matte lipstick and the one of the left is a nude pink lipstick. I only chose these colours because I like pinky lipsticks but they do have quite a selection of different colours so be sure to check them out. Unfortunately you can only buy MUA products in Superdrug and not in Boots. These lipsticks only last about a hour but you can't really moan because they only cost £1. However I wouldn't really recommend applying these lipsticks on dry, chapped lips because they aren't that moisturising. 


I hope you guys enjoyed this blog post. Share it with all your friends and family.

Messy bun

Hello Everyone,

So recently the weather in England is starting to get hotter (finally) and when you have medium-long hair you don't want it in your way all the time, so recently I have been putting my hair into a messy bun which was originally inspired by Zoella (youtuber). I find this hairstyle very quick and easy, you can do it if you are in a rush and make it look very casual or you could spend a little bit more time on it and dress it up for events like nights out or family celebrations. I feel like this is a perfect hairstyle for spring/summer. I find that this hairstyle works better on hair that was washed at least a day before so your hair has alot more texture and is easier to style. I find that this ahirstyle lasts a whole day for me and looks even better if it is rushed.

If you would like a much more messier look you can add salt spray to add more texture (I use the got2b texturizing salt spray), you can tease your hair (to add alot more volume) and finish it off with a hairspray (I use the vo5 ultimate hold hairspray) this will make your bun stay in place longer.


This hairstyle has 4 easy steps:

1) Put your hair in a high ponytail.

2) Twist your hair and wrap it around your hair tie. Secure it with another hair tie or bobby pins.

3) Tug at your roots to add more volume and make it look a bit more messy.

4) Mess around with it until you have the shape that you wanted.You can make it as neat or messy as you like.

Review: Tanya Burr lip Gloss

Hello Everyone,

Today I will be reviewing one of Tanya Burr's new lip glosses in the colour 'Aurora'. I love Tanya Burr overall (for those of you that don't know who she is, she is a youtuber/ beauty guru and a big inspiration to lots of people) and when I found out that she is releasing her own nail polish and lip gloss line I was very excited. So far i only have one thing from her collection which is one of her lip glosses in 'Aurora'.



This lip gloss is a subtle pink colour with shimmer and its looks amazing on and it lasts over 2 hours which is really good especially for its price (£7.99). This lip gloss smells like strawberry laces. I think it is an amazing colour for spring/summer. I really love this and I recommend it a lot.



I hope you guys enjoyed this review

My top 5: Spring 2014 nail polish picks


Hello Everyone,

Spring is finally here! So I decided to show you guys my top 5 spring nail polishes. I love wearing nail polish especially in spring/summer because I love wearing bright nail colours.



My first pick is a mint green colour (I love mint green). This nail polish is from the Primark 'P.S' range. You need about 2 coats of this nail polish because it does appear quite streaky on the first coat. Once I used my Barry M top coat the nail polish lasted over 4 days!

Mint green P.S nail polish (£1)


My second pick is a lilac colour by Barry M and its one of their gelly hi-shine nail paints in the colour Prickly pear. I like the Barry M gelly collection because they give a nice extra glossy finish and last a long time.

Barry M gelly hi-shine nail paint in the colour 'prickly pear' (£3.99)


My third pick is another Barry M gelly hi-shine nail paint in the colour 'papaya' (329). This is a orange colour and it is the same as the 'prickly pear' one it gives a nice glossy finish.



My fourth pick is a artistry nail colour in the colour 'pink delight'. This is really nice long lasting colour. It is a light pink colour with shimmer perfect for spring. It has a good application brush which makes it really easy to apply nail polish. This nail polish is £11.10



My last pick is a nail polish by MUA in the colour 'Bright coral'. I like the packaging of these because they remind me of little Essie nail polishes. This nail polish gives a very glossy finish.The MUA nail polishes are really pigmented and a bargain at £1.  You can only buy MUA products at Superdrug.



I would also recommend using a top coat on all of these nail polishes. The two I would recommend are Barry M base coat, topcoat and nail hardener all in one (£2.99) or Artistry top coat (£11.10). I would recommend using a top coat to make your nail polish last longer and have a glossier finish, both of these top coats are also very good nail hardeners.



I hope you guys enjoyed this blog and I hope this has given you a inspiration on your spring nail polishes
