Hi guys!

As everyone knows, today is Valentine's day. Unlike most people I don't really like celebrating this event, because you shouldn't need an excuse or just one day a year to be nice and loving towards your partner, as this should be done every day. I have been with Kieran for a while now and we have never paid much attention to this day as we show affection all the time :)

Anyway, I went out shopping with my best friend Amarah yesterday and we had our make up done by Benefit. Of course I bought some make up from there, you don't even need to ask!

The high beam highlighter is £19.50 and is used to illuminate your skin and to give you natural looking glow.

It looks like a large nail varnish bottle.

Another pair of frilly socks. (my obsession has no limits)

Those gorgeous cut out shoes/boots are from Topshop. They were on sale for an amazing £18! They only had size 7 left but with my eye for bargains I found the last size 5 pair, even though I'm usually size 6 these fit perfectly.

I hope you enjoyed this short post, let me know what you think and maybe what I should write about next time?

Lots of love,

Hey guys!

Wow it's February already! Next thing you know it'll be Summer! So, I recently got paid again and decided to go out shopping, because why not? I ordered a few items online as well, because I knew that if I went to have a look at them in store they will either be out of stock or have all sizes but mine left.

Cute little coral bracelet, I have a thing for bright colours at the moment.

I fell in love with this playsuit as soon as I laid my eyes on it. It's so girly and cute, I can't even express my opinion towards it! I got it in size 10 and it's tight on me and it's a bit short, so I will wait until Summer to wear it.

I got this white skater dress from Topshop and I wasn't too sure if I liked it at first. Then I've seen one of my friends wearing the same one but green so I thought 'wow if only I look half as good in this dress as she does then I'd be happy' so I added it to my basket. Just as I was about to process the payment, I got a notification saying they don't have size 8 any more, but I liked the dress so much that I got it in size 10. Wise move I would say, because it is very tight and I could barely put it over my head! However, it looks really nice when it's on, just add a gold statement necklace to it and some cute stud earrings and voilla! :)

I got this strapped top because I thought it would look very nice with shorts or leggings, especially when I go on holiday. The material is quite stiff but should be softer after a wash. 

I got this leotard because I needed something to wear with my new red shorts (scroll down). It's from Miss Selfridge and it was on sale!! I was really lucky because they only had my size left! And it was low in stock too. I would say, this leotard will look better on top heavy girls because of the mesh material in the middle. 

I bought this gorgeous slip dress especially for going out clubbing. It's so classy but sexy at the same time. It falls perfectly on my body, which I am very pleased about! It's so pretty that it doesn't need any extra accessories but a clutch bag, drop earrings and high heels. I got it in size 8 because it's very loose, but it's meant to be like that.

I bought these Kurt Geiger jelly shoes especially for my holiday this year, however I think it would be a crime if I din't start wearing them as soon as the weather gets better haha!!

I love frilly socks!!!

This roll neck crop top is definitely by far one of the best things I have ever purchased as it looks really good on me and I can wear it as a casual outfit with a pair of shorts or jeans, or for a night out with disco pants! I really need it in more than one colour, but sadly they didn't have any left in store at Primark as it sold out quickly due to being just £2.

I picked up this skirt as I thought it would look nice with a bandeau top and a blazer for a night out in the Spring.

I've wanted to buy some midi rings for ages now, and I found some lovely and very much affordable ones in Primark. They look really nice if you stack them up with normal sized rings and have pretty nail varnish on. :) 

All I have to say is - gorgeous chain for £4.

The red shorts. Not just any original shorts, but THE shorts. I was just walking around in Primark and they caught my attention from distance. I thought 'I must have them'. It took me a while to find them in my size as I had to chase a few of the workers around. (Sounds desperate but they're too perfect to miss out on). They make me look so slim!!! Definitely worth purchasing, especially as they have them in other colours too.

This maxi skirt is a must buy! It really compliments my figure and makes my legs look much longer, and for me being 5ft4 is kind of an achievement! The print is really psychedelic and would look great with a plain vest or a bandeau top.

This jumper is so cosy and you don't have to wear anything underneath it (I mean a strap top, not a bra;)) to make it look nice. It compliments curvy figures e.g. top heavy, and also hides a 'muffin top'.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this post and I shall write to you again soon!

Benefit Cosmetics Haul

Hi guys!

I know I have been slacking in the blogger world lately, and I'm very sorry about that! I have so much college work to focus on, especially as I have exams coming up next month. 

I recently purchased a couple of extravagant make up items from Benefit. It hurt my card to pay that much, however those items are so worth the money.

Hello Flawless and Brow Zings.

I needed a new professional pressed powder which would go well with my new MAC foundation. I was going to go to MAC originally, however I got side tracked by the benefit counter in Boots. I had my make up done by a lovely lady who worked there and decided to purchase this powder. I chose the ivory shade as my skin is very fair. The texture of the powder is very smooth and feels like velvet after it's been applied onto the skin. It comes with a mirror, brush and a sponge and costs about £25.50 from what I can remember.

I have always wanted to try benefits brow set, but could never get around to actually buying it as it is a little bit pricey. I spoke to the make up artist there and she asked if I wanted to try it on, so I thought 'why not?'. I applied the wax and then the powder onto my eyebrows and instantly fell in love with this product. I also got told that it lasts for about 2 years!! I couldn't be happier with an eyebrow product as I have tried many already. I chose this product in the light shade as I am blonde and do not wish for my eyebrows to be too dark as I thought it would look a bit funny. This is by far one of the best eyebrow sets ever at the price of £23.50.

I hope this helps and will make up for me being a lazy git not posting enough this month!

Lots of love,

Review || 17 Va Va Voom Mascara

Hello everyone!

So, this being my first post of 2014, I decided to make it a review as I know how many people struggle with finding the highest quality, affordable beauty product, including me! 

In today's post I will be introducing you to Boots own brand '17'. I absolutely love their make up, and feel like it's not cheap looking after application, and it is so damn affordable.

I usually buy new mascaras which come out, because they are always on offer in Boots. This time I decided to change my plans a bit, because as you already know, I like 17 make up and was very pleased with their new 'backlash' mascara so originally I was going to repurchase that item. However All of the 17 mascaras were on offer for £4 each. I went crazy, everyone was staring at me! I decided to try something different so I went for the Va Va Voom in 'blackest black'. All I had to do was put one coat on and look at the effect. It is an amazing mascara and is so worth buying, especially as it is so cheap! 

Hope this helps anyone who is wondering what mascara to get!:)

Love, Maya xo
