OOTD - Daytime Date

Hey everyone,

Just a quick update of what I got up to last week. I went to see The Amazing-Spiderman 2, which really was amazing, and also out for a meal to Tamatanga - again. I love that place. If you have any questions then don't hesitate to contact me :)

I always look so awkward trying to pose. Also, my camera makes me look so blurry!

My whole pretty outfit! My jeans are from H&M sale for £5, My top is from Tesco FF for £8, My necklace is from Primark for £3 and my Kimono is from New Look for £12.

My necklace is from Primark. It was reduced to £3 when I bought it.

The pattern on my jeans.

MY FAVOURITE SHOES THAT HURT MY FEET SO BADLY. Miss KG by Kurt Geiger.

Cinderella, is that you? Sorry about my wrinkly foot hahaha, I don't know what happened to it!

Look how pretty my shoes are!!! My feet/legs look so pale, it's unreal. That's just before I applied fake tan.

My beautiful Kurt Geiger jelly shoes close up!!

You can see how bad my roots are in this picture! I was so fed up with the colour as well, so you will have to wait till my next post to see my new hairdo!

Big forehead alert!! My eyelashes look extra long! I use the 17 Va Va Voom mascara in extreme black.

Here you can see my messy little bun? I think that's what I should call it, even though it looks like a knot!

Cheeky little selfie of my make-up. Sorry, I'm always making awkward faces trying to pose for the camera!

Mmmm yummy chicken wrap! It was a mixture of spice and sugar, but it was the best of both worlds.

Mint and Mango chutney to dip my chips and wrap in! It was delicious. I will definitely have this next time I go to Tamatanga.

Best chips in the world. They were really salty and just tasted heavenly.

What's a dinner date without a glass of Coke or Sprite?

Lots of love,

Recent Purchases - featuring Bodyshop's new InstaBlur Primer!!!

Hey guys,

I recently ran out of all my high end face products and was in great need to stock up on new ones ASAP. But, instead of my usual routine which includes the Benefit POREfessional primer, MAC Studio Fix foundation and Benefit Hello Flawless powder I decided to go for something a bit less expensive but equally as good.

I have always wanted to try the Body Shop's (HERE) makeup range and I finally got to buy some products. The staff were very friendly, and helpful with registering for the Body Shop membership card and helping me choose the right shades of foundation and powder. Shoutout to the two fabulous ladies that served me today!

I bought the new InstaBlur primer, Extra Virgin Minerals foundation (medium to full coverage) and the Face Perfecter powder.

The most amazing thing happened to me today. This fantastic primer does not come out until tomorrow BUT I got on with the staff so well that they let me purchase this product today instead!! I will do a full review of this primer very soon!

Sorry about this picture, I always tend to forget to rotate at least one if not a few of them. This foundation felt very smooth and creamy but was very easy to blend. I chose the shade 102 as my skin tone is very fair and has warm tones.

Cute little mirror-like packaging. I've heard very good things about this powder from my friends, so decided to get one myself! I chose the shade 03 as it's not too light but not too dark and makes my skin glow. It also blocks out any shininess of the skin, so looks great on even if you're not wearing foundation!

This is what it looks like when you open it. You get a sponge applicator with this powder so you can just pop it in your handbag for a day out without having to bring a powder brush or worse, a whole make-up bag with you.

Underneath the first flap, you get a compact mirror and the pressed powder. It has protective foil over it, hence why it looks a bit odd in the picture.

I also found this heat protection spray in Boots reduced to £2, so thought I'd get it to review it and see if it's any good.

This gorgeous bikini is from H&M and it only cost me £8 for the set. (£3.99 for the top, and £3.99 for the bottoms) If this isn't the most gorgeous bikini that you have ever seen then I don't know what is!!! I reckon it will look great on fair or dark skin!

It has cute little tassels on the sides!

Pastel denim shorts are a must-have this Summer, especially when they are only £5 each from Primark!

I really do love my pastel colours!

If you have any questions then do not hesitate to comment or message me privately via email :)

Lots of love,

OOTD

Hello everyone!

It is March now! The time has gone by so fast. I only have 3 months left until my a-level exams, and I am stressing out big time! What calms me down the most, are Yankee candles. The fragrance is so strong and they last forever. I have recently bought those three candles, one jar and two votives. The fruity melon is a must-have this Spring!!

What I really wanted to talk about today was the outfits I wore last Thursday. Below is a picture of me wearing white jeans and a teal camisole. I wore that outfit to college that day. The jeans I am wearing were on sale in H&M for whooping £5!!! The camisole is from Primark, the gold chain is also from Primark. My nails are by Barry M in the colour Peach Melba. Excuse my dirty mirror, I didn't realise that I had so many fingerprints on it. It must have been my brother messing about with my sister and poking at things with their sticky fingers!!

Later on that Thursday, I was going out with my 3 close friends to a restaurant called Chutney. One of my best friend's father owned the place and they were having a Bollywood night. Me, being a great lover of Indian cuisine, was the first to get ready for this event! I have used all of my sparkly eye shadows and Indian bangles I have received for my 18th birthday. They were really hard to put on as they are meant to be tight around the wrist, so I had to moisten up my hand to get them on!! I wore my emerald and black lacy bodycon dress and black suede wedges.

That is it for today guys, I will try and post more but I really have no free time to do so as revision awaits me :( coursework deadlines also do not help!!

Lots of love,
