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 :)

Review || TGI Fridays Restaurant

Hi guys,

Just a quick post today as I have been very busy revising for my exams. I don't want to disappoint any of you so I thought I'd do a quick restaurant review. Back in April, I went to quite a few birthday meals as my close friends were turning 18, and one of the restaurants I went to was TGI Fridays.

I really liked the décor as it was very 90's Las Vegas kind of style, which made me feel a bit like a rock star ;) The staff were very friendly and offered us a selection of menus and deals to choose from.

I chose grilled chicken skewers for the starter, I forgot to take a picture of it :( but, I chose the Club Chicken Sandwich for the main which was delicious as you can see above. I think I added a bit too much salt and pepper to my chips, but hey ho! The meal was very filling and tasty. I will definitely return there again, maybe even sooner than I think. :)

Here's a picture of the gorgeous birthday girl. She looked stunning in her white sheer top and high waisted leggings. She wore smaller heels than me, yet she was still about a foot taller! Oh the joys of being a hobbit!

Lots of love,

Professional Brush Set - 22pcs

Hello my beauties!

Tmart is the new Ebay. You can find so many great deals on that website!! As most of you already know, I bought the Urban Decay Naked 2 and 3 palette dupes from Tmart for less than £10, and I also ordered one of the brush sets to see if they're as good as everyone claims them to be. And guess what? They really are.

The set that I chose came in this cute little pink pouch.

That's what the brushes looked like when I first opened the pouch. As you can see, there is a little flap over the brushes to prevent them from transferring colours onto the other, for example if the eye liner brush was in contact with the foundation then it will get dirty.

And here's a snap with the flap open revealing all the brushes. They were all backed very nicely in foil to avoid moulting of the brushes.

A close up of the right side of the set which includes all the face brushes.

A snap of the middle of the set which shows a couple of the face brushes, and most eye brushes.

And the last picture is of the left side of the set, revealing the lip brushes and other eye essentials like the fan brush etc. 

If you have any questions relating to this brush set, then drop me a comment or an email :)

Lots of love,

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

Hey guys!

As you know, my exams start this week hence the lack of blogging recently. I have been deprived of my social life and just sit at home and revise all day for my A-levels. As soon as they are over I promise to blog more recently! I don't want to disappoint any of you because you've been amazing.

As most of you know, I discovered the amazing website Tmart.com through another blogger. I have already bought the Naked 2 palette by Urban Decay and reviewed it here if you wanted to have a look at what I think of it.

Little instagram collage :)

As you can see, the box is a little bit battered, but it looks 100% authentic.

The palette itself looks exactly like the real Naked 3 palette. Even the texture of the metal box is the same.

I know that neither of the pictures is great as they were taken on my phone, but here you can see the colours of the eyeshadows in this palette. They are very pigmented, just like the Naked 2 palette I bought from Tmart. You can buy the Naked 3 palette here, and the Naked 2 palette here.

Here is the back of the packaging. As you can see, it is a little bit torn in a few places, but hey ho, I only care about what's inside!! If you have any questions about this product then don't hesitate to ask me via comment or email :)

Lots of love,
