What's in my school bag?

Hey guys,


Feels like I haven't uploaded a blog in a while so I thought I would post one today. This blog will show you everything in my school bag and also give you some ideas on what you could have in your school bag if you still go to school!







School Bag

 My school bag is from Primark and I can not remember the price for it. In my opinion I don't think you should spend a lot on a school bag as they will just get ruined easily at school and most Primark bags look nice. Surprisingly this bag has lasted me a long time without breaking, touch wood!













 My pencil case is actually supposed to be a cosmetic bag but I thought it looked better as a pencil case, plus I was in need of a new pencil case. I bought this from Morrison's for £3.00. I have so many colourful pens and felt tips because I loveeee making my books look colourful so it helps me when it comes to revising for assessments and exams.  I got the set of Crayola's for £2.50 and the set of  colourful pens for £2.00. I also have a habit to chew my pens because for some reason it helps me concentrate so that is why I only have 3 pens because I chew my pens too much that they break.
 
 
 
 



 A brush is always essential to take to school. My hair can get knotty really easily and I like to brush my hair before putting my hair up for Pe.








I will always have a bottle in my bag, it will either be empty or full because I love drinking water to keep hydrated.






Today I had a Geography assessment so I brought my geography revision guide so I could revise at lunch before the assessment.



 
 
I always have my school planner so I can write down the homework's I have been set. I am also so forgetful so I always have to check my timetable to see what lesson I have.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I always make sure I have my purse just in case I get hungry and want to buy something from the canteen or if I want to go to a shop in town afterschool. I think my cousin Shania is my saviour because I never got my finger scanner re done so I have to use her to put money on her finger scanner so I can get food from the canteen!





The next essential I must always have in my bag is a pack of chewing gum. This Is my favourite chewing gum!






Last thing I will always have in my bag is a body spray. This is my favourite body spray from impulse.



I also will have my exercise books for whatever lessons I have that day. For example I had geography and biology today and I had my books for those lessons at home so I put them in my bag and then my teachers took them in to mark. The other lessons I had today my teachers had my books.

Outfit for Non Uniform Day

Hey guys,


Today was non uniform day which also can be known to be "judgement day". I think to judge people on what they wear is so horrid, people should be confident and be able to wear what they want on Non uniform. They shouldn't have to worry constantly about what others think about the way they dress or not wanting to come into school due to people making fun of them because of what they're wearing. My message to you guys is WEAR WHAT YOU WANT AND WHAT YOU LOVE AND DO NOT LET OTHER PEOPLES OPINIONS AFFECT THE WAY YOU DRESS!


My outfit is very plain, but love plain. I am not a massive fan of colour.



My Outfit








Black and White stripe print High neck sleeveless top - New Look
Black High waisted jeans- New Look
Grey with white frill socks- Primark
Black Converse- Office

Lip Product Tag

Hey guys,

Sorry that this blog is the only blog I have posted this week, I have been incredibly busy and I have had tones of homework ahh! This is a collab with Sydneydoesfloral so go check out her blog when it has uploaded!



What is your favourite balm?



I Like lip balms but I am not really into them that much so I only have a few and I haven't really tried out a lot of lip balms. However, I have two favourite lip balms at the moment and they are The Body Shop mango one and Baby lips in Peach Kiss.



What is your favourite eye catching red?



My favourite eye catching red is in Hazard from TopShop





The best luxury and drugstore lipstick?




 The best luxury lipstick in my opinion is any Mac lipstick because they apply so well and they stay on your lips for so long. The Mac lipstick I own is in Dark Side.  The best drugstore lipstick in my opinion is any Kate moss lipstick because they are cheap and the product stays on your lips for hours. The Kate Moss lipsticks I own are in 08 and 101. I sadly couldn't find the one in 101 when I was taking the photos for this blog :(



Most disappointing lip product




This Lipstick which I have no idea where it is from as I got it for my birthday last year is the most disappointing lip product I own as it is far too creamy and doe not set when you apply it. You also have to apply it onto your lips a lot of times in order for it to go to the colour it is on your lips (hoping that made sense!)




Lip liner?


I dislike lip liners as I can never use them and they make my lips look horrid so I have never purchased one and I don't intend to in the future!




Fav gloss?





My favourite lip gloss that I own is this one from Ted Baker which sadly has no name :(





Hope you enjoyed this blog. As I said earlier this is a colab with sydneydoesfloral,she has done the same tag on her blog but the questions may be different so go check it out!

February Favs!

Hey guys,

Today's blog is my February Favourite's. Doing monthly favourites is one of my favourite things to blog about. Hope you enjoy!








Make up





My first make up favourite is Big eyes in Rebel Black by Maybelline New York mascara. I love this because it makes my lashes look incredibly long and bold. The price is so good for this product as in my opinion it is better than the They're Real mascara by Benefit. The push up brush (bigger brush)  pushes your lashes up and wide and the mini brush (small brush) magnifies your smaller lashes.




  



 My next make up favourite is a Sleek blush in Life's a Peach. I am in love with this product as it brightens my cheeks and the colour is gorgeous. I also love this product because I love that it comes with a mirror and the name is just too cute!









 Last make up favourite is color tattoo 24 hour by Maybelline New York in the shade Pink Gold. I love this because it applies so well and it looks fine on its on and blends well with other eye shadows. I used to hate cream eye shadows but after trying this out I am in love with them all over again. The colour is stunning!



Skincare




 First skincare favourite is Nivea's Double effect eye make up remover. I saw my friend Marni use this in one of her videos and I thought I would try it out and I am so glad I did because it removes all my eye make up amazingly well. It is also a good price and lasts a very long time.









 My next skincare favourite is Carex's hand sanitizer. This is so good because it absorbs into my hands incredibly quickly and it smells like strawberry laces, what is not to love about that?! I have been using this a lot recently as around school I accidentally keep touching chewing gum under the desks and somehow get mud on my hand every now and then so I like to make sure I have no bacteria on my hands!










 Last skincare favourite is Creamy Madly Dreamy by Zoella beauty. I have been using it a lot this month because it smells so good! If you want to know more about why I love this product then checkout my Top 5 body lotions blog!





Accessories







 I only have one accessories favourite and that is my necklace from people tree, which you would of already seen in my small haul blog. I have been wearing this a lot with many different outfits because it goes with everything and its super duper cute!




Random






 I am not going to write much about my cacti as I recently wrote a blog about them but they have been one of my favourites as I am just in love with them because of how cute they look!







My last random and February Favourite is my Blog Ideas notebook. I bought this from Tesco's for £3.00. I bought this because I kept complaining on how I had so many ideas in my head for blog ideas and what I would include in the blogs but had nothing to write them on. Most of you are probably thinking you can just type your ideas on your IPad or phone but I prefer to hand write then type on a electronic device. I love the colours and pattern on this notepad and I got a label from textiles.



Hope you enjoyed this blog. Happy 1st of march! Love you all

Cacti

Hey guys,


If you follow me on Instagram you will know that I bought some cacti about a week ago and this is what this blog will be about. This blog will be short as I have a lot of revision and homework to do!!!


The cacti I bought is such a random thing to blog about but they have made my room look super cute that I just had to blog about it. Is it bad that I have named my cacti? The one on the right is called Charlotte, the one in the middle is called Craig and the one on the left is called Charlie. I got these three from Wilkinson's for £4.00 which I thought was a really good price and they just look so cute. The only negative about them is the pots that they came in because I really wanted cuter pots like plain white or black pots not brown plastic pots which look boring. Purchasing the cacti makes me want to buy more small plants to make my room not just look super cute but MEGA cute or it will just make my room look like a garden centre but who cares!!!

Top 5 Body Lotions

Hey guys,


Today I thought I would talk about my top 5 body lotions at the moment. All the body lotions I will talk about, I defiantly recommend!






I love ... Mango & papaya






This body lotion is a good for travelling as its a 60ml bottle. Mango is my favourite fruit and I love the smell of it and mango mixed with papaya is heaven for me. What I love about this is it dries so quickly when you apply it on the parts of your body that need moisturising. There is nothing worse than putting clothes on and then them sticking to you!


Mango Body butter - The Body Shop





Sticking to the subject of mango, my next favourite body lotion is by The Body Shop and it is the Mango body butter. I love this because it applies onto the skin so well and it dries so quickly. After it dries it leaves your skin feeling so smooth for ages which is great. I got this in a set of other mango body shop products but you can buy this by its self.



Creamy Madly Dreamy- Zoella Beauty



Next body lotion,which of course was going to be in this top 5 body lotion blog because she is my idol, is the Creamy Madly Dreamy body lotion from the Zoella beauty range. Not only do I love the product but I also love the packaging as its super cute and the name is so catchy. This is such a good body lotion as it is cheap and it smells so so good. It softens your skin so well and leaves it smelling nice and fragrant.




Sympathy for the skin-lush






Lush is probably my favourite for when I want a relaxing bath or to make my bath water look more interesting. I realised that I had never tried one of their products for skin so I thought I would give one of their products a try. This one makes my skin feel freakin' amazing and fresh and incredibly smooth. The only down side I have to this is I am not a massive fan on the smell as I feel it is too sickly.





Nina Ricci






My last body lotion favourite is this one. The Nina Ricci has been my favourite perfume for so many years and last year was the first time I got the lotion and it smells so good because it obviously smells like the perfume but not as good as the perfume! This dries so quickly and I love to put loads and loads of layers of this on because it just smells amazing!

Small Haul

Hey guys,

Hope everyone had an amazing valentines day yesterday, if it was with your lover, best friend or Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Yesterday I spent valentines day with my Best friend Jas and we went to Norwich and I bought a few things which I thought I would show you guys.





Necklace:£2.00
Butterfly ring:£1.00


The first shop we went into was People Tree. I love that shop because they have so many cute and vintage things in there. What made me so happy is now they have started to sell necklaces and I looove them. They had so many interesting styled necklaces but this one caught my eye because I love black and white and I thought this could go with any outfit and I love that it is in a star kind of shape.

I also purchased a cute butterfly ring for only £1.00 which I thought was such a great price for such a pretty ring.



Black paisley tile print tube skirt:£9.99
Cream crepe stripe textured high neck sleeveless top:£9.99


The next shop we went into was New Look. As soon as I walked in my mission was to buy a new skirt as I am in love with skirts at the moment and then I found one that is a bit out of my comfort zone but I absolutely love it! I then found a sleeveless top to go with the skirt, which I love but it is a bit see through so I will have to wear a white bra when ever I will wear it.



7 pairs of socks:£2.50


The last shop we went to was Primark and I got some underwear which I am obviously not going to show but I also bought some socks because I am getting a bit tired of wearing frilled socks all the time so I thought I would get some ankle socks. I got these because my favourite colour is blue and seeing the different shades of blue in the pack made my heart melt so I had to get them and White and cream socks are a must have. 
 
 

Hope you guys enjoyed this blog, Next blog post will be up on Wednesday
