Avon Haul!!!

Hi Everyone!!! This is part two of my double update and....it's an Avon Haul!!!! I have been a fan of Avon for the longest time, I've loved pretty much everything I've tried from the brand. It's definitely worth checking their shop out at http://avonshop.co.uk/ . I apologise for my background on these pictures, i had to use the living room table (oops)

Avon Haul!!! 

Ultra Colour Absolute Lipstick - Red Velvet - £4.00 

The first thing that i picked out was this gorgeous lipstick. It's the Ultra Colour Absolute lipstick in the shade Red Velvet. Its a beautiful shade of red, it glides on smoothly, the colour payoff is gorgeous and i love the pink packaging.

Ultra Colour Matte Lipstick - Matte Peach - £7.50

The seond lip product i picked out was the Ultra Colour Matte lipstick in the shade Matte Peach. I've been wanting a matte peach lippy for ages and when i found this one i literally fell in love. the packaging is simple but pretty, the colour is gorgeous and the payoff is amazing. i'd definitely recommend this

True Colour EyeShadow Duo - Warm Cashmere - £3.50

The third item i picked up was this eye shadow duo in the shade Warm Cashmere. The colours are perfect if you want a simple, understated eye makeup look, and the colour payoff is fantastic.

Gel Finish Nail Enamel - Wine and Dine Me - £3.50 

I currently can't paint my nails as i have acrylic nails at the moment, but as soon as i can paint them i will in this shade. I'm a huge fan of Avon's gel nail enamels as they last for over a week and the colours are stunning. This one caught my eye because of it's lovely burgundy colour and its name which i found quite funny.

Spectralash Mascara - Black - £5.00

The final makeup product i bought was this mascara. I haven't tried it out yet as I've been using my Urban Decay perversion mascara which i love. This caught my eye for the fact that you can change up the volume of the mascara, i haven't used a mascara like this before, but i'm sure Rimmel did a mascara like this and i'm not sue what it's called. (I will find out) . I'm interested to see how things go with this and i shall do a review if you would like me to.

body care - 2 shower gels, 2 bubble baths and a hand wash - 5 for £5

The final few products I picked out were in an offer in one of the previous brochures for 2015. It was a 5 for £5 pounds offer on body care so i picked out two bubble baths in the scents strawberry sorbet and dark orchid and raspberry, two shower gels in the scents Lagoon and garden of Eden and a hand wash in the scent Lagoon. I haven't used any of these yet but they all smell gorgeous. 

Thats all from me for now, i'll be back in the next few days with part four of my university series. I'll leave my social links below for you to follow me.

Book Haul!!!!

New Books!!!

Hi Everyone, I have a double update for you today, and they are both hauls!!! Over the past few weeks i have been collecting books that i have been wanting to read for a while. The Majority of them are by one of my favourite authors, Cassandra Clare - writer of the mortal instruments books. The others are two books i've been wanting for ages and the other two are style and beauty books by Lauren Conrad - which i wanted because she is one of my style and role models. 

The Infernal Devices - Cassandra Clare 

 The first three books are a trilogy by Cassandra Clare. these are the prequel to The Mortal Instruments Series that she wrote. I'm a huge fan of The Mortal Instruments and i definitely can't wait to get started reading these.

The Bane Chronicles - Cassandra Clare 

If there is a single character i love from Cassandra Clare's books, it is most definitely Magnus Bane. He is the Chief high Warlock of Brooklyn and hes fabulous. This book has several short stories of some of Magnus's adventures throughout his 300 years of living. Thanks Cassie for creating such a fabulous character!!!!

The ShadowHunter's Codex - Cassandra Clare 

The final book by Cassie Clare is The ShadowHunter's Codex. This is featured in the books and every ShadowHunter has one. Clare has written this as Heroine Clary Fray's copy, with notes in the margins from her and fellow characters Jace Wayland and Simon Lewis. I have started reading this book and i honestly think its awesome (and the margin notes are hilarious)

The Maze Runner - James Dashner 

I first heard about this as a fan of The Hunger Games books and because of the Maze Runner movie. I haven't seen the movie but from what my friends have said its was brilliant. i am determined to read the book before i watch the movie so i know what to expect.

House of Night: Hunted - P.C and Kristen Cast

This book i had been wanting/needing for about three months and i hadn't had the chance to get it until now. With this series i was in a bit of a predicament before i got this book. My predicament was that i had the first four books of the series, missing book five and owned six and seven. I couldn't continue reading until i had got this book. Now i'm pretty excited to complete this epic series of twists, turns and vampyres. Most definitely worth a read for all you fantasy novel lovers.

Lauren Conrad - Beauty 

The penultimate book in this haul is by one of my style and beauty Icons, Lauren Conrad. I love how she always looks effortless and has a classic makeup look that i have found easy to recreate. The beauty book has tips and tricks, and Lauren's advice on skincare, haircare and makeup - definitely worth a read.

Lauren Conrad - Style 

The final book in this haul is also by Lauren Conrad. I've been a fan of her style since she was on the Hills. It's effortless, classy and she has a look for every occasion. This book has plenty of tips and tricks about all things fashion and she also gives you outfit ideas for any occasion. 

Thats all from me for now, i'll be back with another haul once i've uploaded this post, i'll leave my social media links below if you want to check those out and follow me. What are your favourite books? Let meknow in the comments or by twitter.

Hi Everyone, Today's post is rather exciting as it's a haul!!! I've been wanted some products from Urban Decay for a long time, and on Monday, when i took a day trip to Manchester, I finally managed to get three of the products that I have been wanting. I haven't used any of these yet as I've been wanting to do this post, buti shall let you all know how i get on with them if you want a post on that.
The first product i picked out is one of the Naked Ultra Nourishing Lip Glosses. I got mine in the shade Walk of Shame. It's like a balm and a gloss in one product, and the colour is so beautiful, like a peachy-nude. (Picture 1)

So Pretty

The Second product i picked out is the absolutely stunning Naked 3 Palette. (Picture 2) It has 12 beautiful rose-hued Neutral shades. (Picture 3) You also get four samples of eye shadow primer in Original, Eden, Sin and Anti-Aging, each primer pod holds about a weeks worth of primer.

Stunning!! 

Shades from Left to Right: Strange, Dust, Burnout, Limit, Buzz, Trick, Nooner, Liar, Factory, Mugshot, DarkSide and Blackheart.

 The Final product i chose is the Limited Edition, Naked on the Run palette. It's the perfect product for travelling with when you don't want to carry a huge makeup bag with you. it comes in a beautiful box and you can create many beautiful looks from simple and natural to dark and sultry. What you get is a full size Naked Lip gloss in Sesso, a travel size 24/7 glide on Eye pencil in the shade Stag, a travel size Perversion Mascara in blackest black, a bronzer, a blush, and six brand new  eyeshadow shades: Dive, Fix, Resist, Dare, Stun, and 5050.

Sleek, Stunning rose gold metallic case. 

From Top: Perversion Mascara, 24/7 glide on eye pencil, Naked lip gloss, 5 eye shadows, bronzer, blusher and another eye shadow.
 

That's all from me for this post. I really hope you like it.

New Years Resolutions!!

Hi Everyone!!! its a double update today as I haven't posted in a good few days :(. i am not the best when it comes to keeping and sticking to New Years Resolutions, so i have carefully thought about some things that i would like to achieve in 2015 and made those my New years resolutions. Here we go...

1) Be more active on social media - This i will definitely stick with, as i really want to connect with you guys that read my blog. I'll leave my social media links below so you can check those out. I will post a lot more on instagram and twitter as well. 

2) Pass and graduate year 2 of my foundation degree - this i am hoping to do but will most likely struggle with. I will be honest, I am getting to the point where i am literally annoyed with the words travel and tourism. if i could quit, i honestly would, BUT  as there are only five months left till i finish i am going to stick with it and hopefully graduate. 

3) Lose weight - this is a classic new years resolution that i always make but never really stick to. but as i have a few important events coming up throughout 2015, i want to look a little bit better than i do already. aha. 

4) Drink more water and eat healthier - this is another resolution that i always make but never stick to. this time i am going to stick with it. it is known that i do love my sweet stuff like marshmallows and chocolate but i do want to eat healthier and drink more water. 

5) be more consistent with my blog -  this is another one i will most definitely stick with. i have so many posts planned for the next few months, that i will be posting on a more regular basis. i just hope you guys are excited for whats to come with this blog. 

That's it for today's posts. i hope you have an awesome new year. the next post will be Friday the 2nd of January. I will link my social media links below for you guys to check out. 

What are your new years resolutions?

My Highlights of 2014!!!

Hi Everyone!! Happy New Years Eve!!! I cannot believe it is already the end of 2014. the year has gone so fast. I hope you all had an amazing christmas, and you got everything that you asked for. I do apologise for not posting my Christmas Day #OOTD - my photo taking was quite ridiculous and blurry, except for the selfies i took with my Mum. They turned out quite funny.
Anyway, this post is going to be my top five highlights of 2014. i've had many a highlight and a few lowlights this year, but i put together my top five highlights to share with you.
1) Passing my first year of my foundation degree - This is a highlight for me because I really wasn't sure if i was going to pass.I struggled quite a bit with some of the assignments, but in the end i was lucky enough to pass.
2) Turning 19 - Turning 19 was pretty awesome. I spent my birthday with my mum, and had visits from some family members and friends. i also saw my dad at 9pm that day as he'd been working. Overall it was a happy memory and highlight for me.
3) Starting my blog back in September - One thing that is definitely a highlight for Me is starting this blog, just a few months ago. I'd done blogs before but got bored really easily with it or just forgot to post, so for me to still be posting now is pretty good for me. I really hope to get some feedback from you guys on twitter and on blogger as to what you want to see on the blog, and I would love to connect with you guys more.
4) Road trip to Bedford with Dad - I have many a funny memory from this trip. being picked up from home at 5am, Dad having Gangnam style ON REPEAT for about 3 hours (next road trip - please don't do that dad), going to watch the high jump at the athletics ground. it was a pretty awesome day.
5) Christmas Day 2014 - My favourite highlight was last week on Christmas Day. i loved spending time with all my family - especially those who i haven't seen in ages, like my uncle and Aunt who live in Leeds, and my cousin who lives down in London. It was lovely getting together and having christmas Dinner, and bonding and just having a laugh.

Thats all for this post. there will be another post today, which will be my new years resolutions post. i really hope you guys have an awesome New Years Eve. I'll leave my social media links below so you can connect with me on those.

What are your Highlights of 2014?

My Plans for Christmas :)

Hi Everyone, so as I probably wont be able to have access to a computer after today, until after Christmas I thought I would share with you my plans for Christmas. So on Monday I  am going to be spending the day with my dad. We are off to Manchester to do A LOT  of Christmas shopping. He's been away in Dubai for the last few weeks working so I haven't had the chance to spend time with him, so that should be fun. Then Monday night i am going Midnight Shopping to tescos with my mum, which will probably be catastrophically hilarious, knowing us. Then Christmas Eve mum and i are having a little party for ourselves, playing music and dancing like idiots. Christmas Day, we are going to my Aunt's house to spend the day with all the family.

I was supposed to upload an #OOTD for Christmas day but i won't be able to do that until next saturday...i'm sorry, i will make it up to you guys. :)
Thats all from me for this post as i have a music playlist to put together for christmas eve. i will link my social media links below if you want to follow me via any of those. I hope you all have an awesome Christmas, and that you get everything that you want. I'll be back next saturday with a new post
