Lemsip and lots of tea....

I have been struck down by either a horrible alien bug that is making me very ill or perhaps possibly just your common cold, either way the only cure I have found so far is staying in bed all day and watching the first season of Vampire Diaries (which I am now hooked on!). I am starting to get a little bit bored though so if you have any requests of posts that do not require me getting out of bed then please let me know and save me from the awful morning TV shows that I am sure to indulge in tomorrow morning.


Thanks in advance and I can assure you that once the alien bug has left me there will be much more exciting posts to come. For now I will make myself my trillionth cup of tea of the day and settle myself down to watch Youtube videos.

Have a great day girls and try not to get sick!

My Scent of January

I thought I would do a new series of posts on this blog called 'My scent of...' and every month I will tell you all about a perfume I am loving. I don't buy new perfumes every month but I do love going into Boots or Debenhams and smelling the different perfumes, so if I smell one that I think is really different or nice I will make it my scent of the month.

This months scent is actually one that I brought at the beginning of January and it is Vera Wang's 'Princess Night'. Now I love Vera Wang and especially her perfumes, I own 'Princess' and 'LoveStruck' and the thing that always draws me in is the packaging. 'Princess Night' is no different, the packaging for this perfume is stunning, it is in the same bottle as the original 'Princess' but is covered in black glitter. I was worried that it would cover my hands every time I picked it up but so far it hasn't come off at all.

Sorry the picture is not my own, having problems with my camera atm.

I am no good at describing scents so I will just tell you that it has heart notes of Jasmine Petals, Spicy Orange Blossom, Passion Rose, top notes of Wild Berries, Watermelon, Sweet Raspberry and base notes of Crushed Sugar, Sensual Musk, Vanilla. And I think it smells delicious.


You can buy it here
Hope your all okay

Have a great day

If you had a million pounds...

What would you buy?

I seem to have a list that goes on forever of things I'd like and that I tell myself I will buy next time I see it but in reality money always seems to stop those purchases. Its not even that I want things that cost thousands of pounds but all the little things soon add up and it can come to a staggering amount of money on such materialist things that I can quite easily go without. I tend to have huge shopping spree's where I spend a ridiculous amount and spend the rest of the month feeling guilty about it even though I work hard for that money. Is it just me or do you get like this too?

So if I had £1 million pounds I think I would feel a lot less guilty about treating myself to a splurge in Mac or a new pair of shoes. So my question for you is...If you had to be completely selfish and buy yourself something up to the value of £1million what would it be? And would you feel bad about it afterwards???

Have a great day girls

New Years Resolutions

I don't tend to make New Years resolutions because I never seem to be able to stick to them but this year I've got two and hopefully I will stay strong and achieve both of them. The first involves you guys and this blog, I am going to try and blog 5 days a week every week for the rest of the year. I'm not promising big reviews every day but I will at least put up an outfit of the day or a overview of what I have done during the day. Also if you want me to write about anything in particular then just let me know because I'm sure I will run out of ideas. I know I'm always saying I am going to post more and never actually do so this time I need you all to keep me going and if I start to slack then message me and let me know please. The second resolution I have is a personal one and it is to lose a stone by summer. Now I know I'm not massively obese but I have gained a lot of weight over the last 2 years and I really want to get back to how I was a few years ago so maybe I will do a few posts on how that is going as well just to keep me motivated.

So starting from today there will be at least 5 posts a week ( A week being Monday to Sunday) for you to look forward to.

Hope you all had a great New Year and I can't wait to share the next one with you!

Long awaited E.L.F haul

I've had these products for about a month and a half now but keep putting off posting about them. There isn't a particular reason for this I just keep forgetting. So here we go, I won't ramble on about them but I will just say I haven't used the products as much as I thought I would so I am overall a little disappointed and glad I didn't spend too much on them.

The first two items are make-up brushes, I've got quite a few brushes now so I may do a make-up brush collection post soon. I don't like buying expensive brushes because sometimes I think they may be a waste of money, Saying that whilst I was in Las Vegas I did buy a Sephora Make-up Brushes set which I am excited to show you. The 2 brushes I got from e.l.f were the blending eye brush and the lip defining brush and both cost me £1.50 which i think is a bargain. I've used the concealer brush for about a year now and I love it so I thought I would pick up a couple more.

The eye shadow brush is one of the products I haven't really used. I think its a good brush but I didn't really need another eye shadow brush so it ended up being a bit of a waste of money. I have however just started using it to blend my concealer and I like the effect its giving.

The Lip brush is the most used thing that I brought, I have used it nearly every day since and I don't know why I didn't own a lip brush before. I now have two so I can alternate them.

The plumping lip glaze was a freebie when you ordered and there wasn't many colours left so i went for the colour I felt I would wear most. The colour is in mauve berry and since I ordered mine lots more colours have come out so I may buy some more. The tube is double ended with the lip plumping treatment in the white end which is very minty but not sure how much it actually plumps your lips and the coloured gloss in the other end. Its a nice product but is a bit sticky.

The next thing I got was the raved about blush and bronze compact, there have been soo many reviews about this, claiming it is a dupe for Nars 'Laguna' and 'Orgasm' however after using the compact for a while I can't say I am that impressed. The bronzer can be quite dark if you are not careful whereas the blush doesn't show up unless you paste it on. If you get the application right however it is a really nice product and for £3.50 you can't really moan can you.

The final product was a set of the Individual Lash Kits , I purchased these to wear at my 21st birthday party but after trying to put them on for half an hour I gave up and shoved them in my draw. I'm sure if i could have put them on they would have looked really good but it just wasn't going right that night. I may try again and let you know if I have any more luck.

Hope you have a great day girls!

I feel inspired...

After a good few weeks of being the worst blogger in the world I have finally got my inspiration back and cannot wait to get back into a good routine. So over the next few days you will be getting very sick of me! I've had enough of boring update posts and need to get back to reviews and OOTD's (which I am going to try and make a bit more fashionable because I have slipped into a boring routine).

This is just a photo to make this a less wordy post, the dress is one of my favourites and I brought it from River Island almost a year ago in a sale for £20 and I love it. Ignore the face though because 1 too many vodka's is not going to make for an attractive face.

Have a great day girls

Bad Bad Blogger...

These last few weeks have been soo busy for me and unfortunately my poor little blog has been the one to suffer! I have missed blogging soo much lately and I have soo much I want to talk about I just haven't had time to sit down and actually do it. I have a couple of days at home now before I go to Las Vegas on Thursday so hopefully I can get a few posts up before then and I promise I will be back on form starting in two weeks.

I though I would use this post as an update kind of thing just to let you know why I have been so busy and also tell you all about what I have planned for the next few week because it is coming up to my favourite time of the year...CHRISTMAS!!! I love everything christmassy and have already started Christmas shopping so lots to tell you there.

So the main thing that has been distracting me lately has been work. I got a new job 2 weeks ago and since then I have not had one day off so of course any time I am at home I have been either sleeping, doing my assignments for university or spending time with my family and friends. I love my job, its working in a new clothes store a few miles away from me and I'm really enjoying it but I am glad I have the next two weeks off  because I have so much uni work to do. That leads me on to another thing that has been keeping me busy...University. I have just gone onto my second year of a business degree and the work load has pretty much doubled since last year so I am having to work really hard just to get it all done on time. That said I am still really enjoying it and its great to be back after the summer and see all my friends again.

That's enough of whats been distracting me, I have had a bit of fun these last two weeks it hasn't all been work so here are a few photos of what I have been up to lately.

My 21st Birthday Party

Me and my best friend at my 21st

Halloween

Fireworks

At the fireworks display

Now on to what I have planned for all you lovely followers before Christmas! I have so many ideas going through my head that I don't know if I will get it all done before Christmas but I really hope so. This will be easier if I just list what's going to be on here soon.

• A pretty big haul from ELF which I've actually had for about 3 weeks.
• Las Vegas review and probably a HUGE haul when I get home.
• More Nail Varnish of the Weeks however I've just started having cal gel put on my nails which lasts a few weeks so it may not be up every week.
• Christmas gift ideas for girls and boys because I always find other versions of these always include really expensive gifts so this will be a bit of a lower budget version.
• Christmas wrapping - I have decided to wrap my gifts a bit different this year so I will show you all what I'm doing with that.
• A Christmas Giveaway will give one lucky follower the chance to win a special Christmas present from me
• Reviews on quite a few new products
• Christmas Party outfits - Photos of what I will be wearing to a few Christmas parties this year.

Please let me know what you think of these ideas and if there are any other things you would like me to do in the run up to Christmas. Sorry for the extremely long post and thanks for sticking with me over the last few week.

Have a great day girls
