Tattoo!

Hiya guys so yesterday was pretty exciting! I got my first tattoo. I've been wanting to get one since I was 18, well I say one, I mean I want to be covered haha! But I didn't just wanna go and get a random design that I would regret when I'm 40, so I've spent a few years drawing them up and deciding what I wanted and where. I chose to get Skye (my daughter) on my shoulder because she is my world! Being my first tattoo I wanted it to have meaning. Anyway here it is...

I absolutely adore it and it was surprisingly unpainful! Look out for more tattoo updates, 

Thanks for reading!

OOTD!

Hiya, this is just going to be a really quick outfit of the day post to accompany my first Youtube video!! (Woo!) The video itself will be uploaded later tonight or possibly tomorrow and I will make another post with a link when I've done it :).

This is just a casual everyday look for me and I'd wear this with my black Dr Martens, but if I were to go for a few drinks or out to dinner with no time to change I could put my black wedge ankle boots and glam it up a bit!

I'm wearing a red vest top from Zara, a black leather-look skater skirt from Primark and a pair of black tights (more than likely from primark too!)

Jewellery: My engagment ring, my pandora braclet, a necklace that cost me £1! from a local shop and three other silver rings that I have had for ages. (I have no idea where they are from)

I hope you like it!

Bye Lovelies,

Youtube!

Hello guys, I was thinking about making Youtube videos and I was wondering what you might think? Do you think I should? Would you watch them?
I've wanted to make videos for ages now, I absolutely love watching the beauty related ones, I can spend hours just watching them! But yeah I'm seriously considering it, I am a fairly shy person and a wee bit awkward but I just wanted to know who would be interested and so on...

As always, thanks for reading!

FOTD! Orange Lipstick and Winged Liner.

I've been wanting to do a FOTD/ Make up tutorial since starting this blog and finally I have got round to it! First of all I take my hat off to everyone who does these kinds of posts every other day and some even every day, so much work goes in to making these and it has taken me till now to prepare this post and actually be able to sit and write it! But this is my first attempt so if there's anything that could be improved please let me know... Here goes... :)

So today I decided to go for a usual look for me e.g. bright lipstick and black winged liner. But I did make it a bit more of a full make up look especially for you guys, hope you like it!

I started out with a Becca Primer this one is the Line and Pore Corrector primer, I applied this all over my face. I also used this Burts Bees lip balm as I knew I was going to be using a bright lipstick and this keeps my lips moisturised for ages!

I then used my favourite foundation right now, Estee Lauder Double Wear in shade 2N1 Desert Beige and I applied this with my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush starting in the centre of my face and working it out to the rest of my face, I like to blend this foundation extra well as I get so paranoid about it looking cakey haha. I then applied a tiny amount of Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in Light 2 under my eyes to make sure my dark circles were covered as much as they could be! Then I set my make up with my Rimmel Stay Matte powder, I use the translucent one. I did then apply a Dainty Doll eye base in 001 Frankie Girl but I forgot to take a picture of that stage... Oops. With my Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush I swept a matte vanilla/cream colour all over my eye lid, I used L'oreal Color Infallible eye shadow in Coconut Shake.

I then took my Deluxe Crease brush (all the brushes used are Real Techniques) and used another L'oreal Color Infallible eye shadow this time in Endless Chocolat, and blended it in to the crease and  outer corner of my eyes. I got my Accent brush and took a small amount of this eye shadow along the lower lash line.

I finished off my eye make up with a flick of my L'oreal Superliner in Black, I kept the liner fairly thin. I used two coats of  my Rimmel Lash Accelerator mascara. (I love this mascara so much and it's so cheap!) 

For my brows I used this Fashionista Brow kit, well I just used the light brown powder with my brow brush. (I don't really bother with the wax.)

I completed the whole look with a slick of this Topshop lipstick in Mexican Wave! I love this look I feel so confident with this lipstick. I have a thing for all things vintage and this is a fun and bright take on the pin up style make up! I absolutely love doing make up and this has to be my favourite post so far, I hope you all enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Thanks for reading.

Bye Lovelies!

Lush Haul!

As you can tell by the title this is a Lush haul! I visited Lush on boxing day because everyone knows they have a huge sale on!
It was mayhem, completely packed. My worst nightmare! But I powered through and got a few little beauties!
(also I have to say when I bought these I ended up paying full price, I understand because it was soo busy but that does not in any way change how much I love Lush, they were lovely and refunded the amount when I went back to the shop.)

Firstly, I picked up this cheeky little fella! He's a Bombardino Bath Ballistic. Now I didn't know and I feel rather silly but it's inspiration comes from the apres ski drink of the same name. Duh! But anyway this bath time version is made up of Cocoa butter, Vanilla Absolute, Bergamot oil and Sicilian lemon oil! I have tried this one and I don't think it's quite as moisturising as I expected it to be as I thought the cocoa butter would make my skin feel soft but it didn't really do much for me. But this does smell absolutely delicious!

I also grabbed one of these little beauties, it's a 'So White' Bath Ballistic. It smells amazing, it's so fresh and lovely! One of my favourites!

I bought two of these 'Star Light Star Bright' Bath melts, I think they are beautiful albeit extremely messy! They are coated in a silver shimmer which gets everywhere including all over the other lush products (they

had no individual bags left.) Part of the reason they are so messy is that they are bath melts and I imagine they are rather luxurious leaving your skin soft and shimmery ;) The scent of this one is very zesty and refreshing, I love it.
                                                 

 This one I am most excited to try! It's described as a fizzy champagne cocktail fragrance on the Lush website and a few of the ingredients listed are Sweet orange oil, Cognac oil and Lime oil. It is so cute and smells divine!
                                                 

I did get a few other little bits and bobs but I won't bore you as I have a tendency to babble! But anyway I absolutely love Lush if can't already tell! and I will continue to keep the business running single handedly (I'm kidding, I'm not that bad!)

Thanks for reading,

Bye Lovelies,

Christmas!

It has been a bitter-sweet Christmas this year, my baby girl was hospitalized and was discharged the day before her 1st birthday (she is absolutely fine now!). But never the less I have a few things that made our Christmas super special!
I'll start with the presents, everybody loves presents!

I'm not going to talk in great detail about all these items, that would take forever and there is one little surprise that I'm going to talk about the at the end, so I don't want you guys getting bored!
So, this isn't everything I received but these are some of my favourites (a couple of these are gifts from me to me haha!) There's a little 30ml bottle of Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker which I've been wanting to try for a while now and I'm glad I did, it's simply 'Lovely'. I also bought myself a couple of make up items...

I got this pretty little Barry M palette from Superdrug, it's the Smokin' Hot Shadow and Blush Palette!
Unfortunately I lost the two applicators before I had chance to use them. These are really pigmented and the blush is a super pretty shimmery peach...

And lastly I got this China Glaze nail lacquer in 625 For Audrey, which I have wanted for agesss! I was so excited to use this, I absolutely adore it! It's my new number 1 nail polish.




So on to what I received for Christmas, the first one I opened was the little Pandora bag and this is what I saw...

It is perfect! I love this so much, I was never really in to Pandora bracelets but I quite like the leather ones. The blue and white charm is a little hot air balloon, how cute?! and the other one is flowers with jade green stones in the centres and the bracelet itself is just a single strap black one... I haven't taken it off since Christmas (well except when I go in the bath! Also the picture makes it look grubby for some reason?).

I was rather spoilt this Christmas, I was insanely excited when I opened this Alien by Thierry Mugler gift set! The body lotion is divine!
I also got a few bath bombs/sets and the other typical presents... But the main thing that made this Christmas particularly special is that...

My lovely boyfriend is now my fiance!

I'm gonna keep this post short and sweet because I'm pretty poorly at the moment :( 

but as always, thanks for reading!

Bye Lovelies,
