ParT Outfit

Hey guys,

I am going to a party next Saturday, so I thought I would show you guys my outfit for the party and hopefully it might give you help on what to wear for an upcoming party that you will be going to or inspiration on an outfit



 
 
 
£10.00


I will be wearing this black long sleeved crop top from TopShop to go with the floral skirt that I will also be wearing. This crop top is great because I want to be warm but not too warm so I nearly pass out in the hall!



£9.99


With the long sleeved crop top, I will be wearing this floral pencil skirt with a white and grey floral pattern from New Look. If you follow me on Instagram you will know that I am now obsessed with floral skirts so I thought I would wear one to the party next Saturday. Just because its winter doesn't mean you can't wear floral patterned clothes!


socks: 3 for £8
Vans: £45.00
 
 
 
Finally, on my feet I will be wearing my grey frilled socks from River Island and my black vans. In my opinion I think frilled socks make an outfit look super cute!



Hope you enjoyed this blog, Love you all :)

Luscious Lips


Hey guys,

Sorry their was no blog on Friday, I went to a party and by the time I came back I was so tired and didn't have enough time to post a blog. However I have a blog for you today! This blog is about 4 lipsticks that I am loving at the moment.




First lipstick I have been loving is, Topshop's matte finish in hazard. I have been wearing this usually when I am wearing a black top or on special occasions because it just makes whatever you are wearing look flawless. I wore this to the party I went to on Friday and lots of people complimented and asked about this lipstick. This is also really good because it stays on your lips for so long!

Topshop matte finish: Hazard
Price:£8.00

 
 
 
 



Next lipstick is Mac's amplified creme lipstick in Dark Side. I adore this lipstick! It stays on my lips for so long and its a really nice dark purple which is great for this time of the year. This is the only mac lipstick I own at the moment because I wanted to try one out and it is so nice that I want to buy so many more from mac. Defiantly recommend mac lipsticks but they are bit more expensive than drugstore lipsticks so if you are someone who likes to stick with the drugstore make up then I don't recommend you get this.
 
 
Mac's amplified creme lipstick: Dark Side
Price:£15.50
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Rimmel London's Kate Moss lipstick in 101, is a nude pink. I wear this mostly for school because it is not very pigmented which is great for school, plus my form tutor isn't the biggest fan of any make up. This lipstick is also good if you want a natural looking make up look.
 
 
Rimmel London Kate Moss: 101
Price:£5.49
 
 
 
 
 


 

 Last Lipstick that I have been loving is MUA's in shade 11. I also wear this for school and it has a little compartment wear you can touch up your lipstick. The negative to this is it doesn't stay on for very long but it is so cheap!


MUA's lipstick: Shade 11
Price:£1




Hope you enjoyed this blog

Skincare Routine | Nightime

Hey guys,

Thought I would show you products I use for my skin after I have had bath. Hopefully this blog will help you if you're looking for new products or if you want to start having a skincare routine then I am hoping this will help you.(sorry for being a bit repetitive ah!).


 
 
£2.00

Firstly, I wipe of all my make up, or any existing make up after my bath off with the simple 'exfoliating' facial wipes. I defiantly recommend these because they do not irritate my skin like some other facial wipes do. They also provide vitamin E which moisturises to improve your skin condition and vitamin B5 which restores, softens and smoothens your skin.


 
£2.70
 
 
 
 
 After I have removed all my make up, I use witch's  'naturally clear' blemish stick and dab on where my blemishes appear. For some strange reason I really love the smell of this and I have no idea why! The stick helps break down excess oils and fights  bacteria that cause spots.



£2.99
 
 
 
 Next I put clean&clear deep cleansing lotion onto a cotton pad and apply it all around my face and dab where I mostly have spots. This product is great because it is so cheap and it can lasts for months depending how much you put onto a cotton pad. I buy I new bottle about every three months so it lasts for a long time and I have defiantly seen improvement in my skin ever since I started using it.
 
 
 
 
£3.59
 
 
 
 I then apply the Nivea 2 in 1 cleanser and toner lotion too cleanse my skin. This bottle has lasted me months and months which is so good. However I am not a massive fan of the consistency as it is very runny and because of this it takes a long time for the lotion to dry. So if any of you have any good lotions that are in a reasonable price range then please put the product in the comments below!

£2.99
£1.99
 
 
 
 
 
Now onto hands, to moisturise my hands I use the Garnier hand cream. I love it because it smells of my fav fruit,mangoooo! It also is fast absorbing, so it dry's really quickly. Sadly it has nearly run out so after it has ran out, I will use Nivea's smooth nourishing hand cream, which I am excited to try out!


???
The last product I use for my night time skin care routine is the Nina Ricci lotion which I got with the perfume which is my absolute fav perfume! I apply this onto my arms and legs and the smell is so so good!


Sorry for the bad quality of the photos, my lighting was so bad. Next blog is on Wednesday!

Remember to comment any face lotions that you use so I can try them out!

My Idol | Zoella


Hey guys,

Today my blog is going to be about, guess you can guess who by the title, My Idol/Inspiration Zoella. I first started watching Zoella near the end of 2012 when my best friend Jas told me about her.  Now I can't remember the first video I watched of hers but I fell in love with all her videos and couldn't wait for her next video and the next and the next and I still get excited now for Sugg Sunday. Since I have watched Zoe I really want to become a You Tuber and she has inspired me to do this blog as that's how she started to become noticed. Zoe is my inspiration because even though she is loved by many she still gets the odd people who are cruel and horrible, but she shows those people that their harsh comments are not going to stop her from doing what she loves.

As well as being gorgeous and a lovely person, Zoe has also got anxiety and has had many panic attacks and her videos about panic attacks and anxiety have helped me through lots. Zoe gives such great advice in these videos and if you have anxiety or have panic attacks then I really suggest you check Zoe's videos about them because they are so helpful.



£8.00

So now I am going to talk about some of Zoe's products that I have. First is the 'Blissful Mistful' body mist and I think the name is super cute for this and I love the packaging. It smells amazing and is only £8.00 which is great for a body mist!



£5.00

Next is the 'creamy madly dreamy' body lotion. I put this on after I have been in the bath and it smells of Shea butter and aloe. It makes your skin incredibly soft and moisturised. I think the packaging is so cute, with the kind of vintage style pattern at the top and bottom of the tube and the font of the writing is super cuteee!

£5.00

The fizz bar makes your bath smell great at makes the water fizz for a bit. As you can see I have already used two bits of it! I love that it is like a bar because then you can break of how much you want to use. I love this because I love anything to do with making your bath water more interesting!

 
 

£8.00


I use this Zoella beauty bag for putting my make up in if I am going traveling or going round a friends house. This bag is so good because it is fairly big so you can fit a lot of make up in and you could also put it in your handbag because its a great size! This bag is my favourite out of all of the three bags because I love how detailed Zoe's eyes are on the bag and I love the colours. Sadly I do not have the guinea pig bag or just say yes bag either but I will be getting them soon as well as the soak opera bath soak/shower cream.


£5.00

This is my favourite Zoella product because I absolutely love candles and I love how they can make my room look so so cosy! I think the pink dots look good on the white background and the name 'lets glow' is creative and cute.



£10.00


Thought I would leave my favourite till last, I have related to so many thing in this book about many different things some funny but some serious. I am only on chapter 24 but I loved it since I read chapter 1. Elliot is my favourite character because he gives such good advice and reminds me of one of my friends. If you have had panic attacks or friend troubles or relationship troubles (so mostly teenage troubles) then I strongly suggest reading this book. I am already in love with the story so far and can not wait to finish reading it.


Thank you guys for reading, next blog will be up and ready on Sunday!

Shoes,Shoes,Shoes

Hey guys,

So for my first blog I thought I would do a blog that isn't very common, well I don't think it is anyway. I thought I would do a blog about all the shoes I own because I love shoes and if I had a lot of dollar I would buy loads and loads because I think shoes are one of the most enjoyable things to shop for. Most of my shoes will probably look like clowns shoes because my feet are so big!





So firstly, I thought I would get the most boring pair of shoes out of the way. My school shoes. They are black brogues but the detailing on them are super cute and they are very comfortable. I got these from office for £28 but if you want to get them for a cheaper price, New Look sell them for about £17-£19.


Next pair of shoes are one of my favourites and they are my black vans. They can go with nearly every outfit and I usually wear them when I go to Norwich because they are so comfy! Sadly I cant tell you where I got them from or how much they were because I got them for Christmas but I think they are in most shoe shops like office and I think they are around £40-£45.
 
 




These are the only heels I own because
1) My other ones got ruined by my dog
2) I'm not the best at walking in heels

They are a nude colour so they go really nice with dresses and make an outfit look sophisticated and stylish. The heel is a bit high but I prefer quite high heels than low ones.




My black converse's are my newest purchase (shoe wise),I got them from office and they were £44.99. converse are my favourite type of shoe because they are so stylish and you can get them in so many different colours and patterns, although I'm really plain so I only get converse in one colour. I do have another pair of converse but they are in my cupboard underneath the thousands of shoes that my parents own so I couldn't find them, but if you go on my instagram you can see them on there if you scroll down my instagram. I will leave my instagram name at the bottom of this blog.



OOO another pair of vans! except these are a bit out of my comfort zone but hey ho! I got these for Christmas in 2013 and they are grey. Now I love grey jumpers and tops and tees and scrunchies' but not so much for shoes but I don't mind these but I don't wear them very much.


So by now you can probably tell the only colour of shoe I will wear is either grey, black or white, very colourful right? next pair of shoes are my black adidas pair which I used to wear for gym but I don't do gym anymore so now I just wear them out when I go to town and other places. They are so comfortable and I love them because they are the only pair of shoes I own that make my feet look small!


I know my puma suede's are very muddy I can explain, I used to wear these for rugby which I regret loads because they are wrecked! They used to be my favourite pair of shoes but now they look brown instead of black so think they will be going in the bin very soon!


Last pair of shoes are my Nike blazers but they are a bit muddy because I wear them for pe because they are so comfortable but they look like clown shoes on me! To be honest I don't really like Nike, because Nike shoes always make my feet look 10x bigger than they actually are!

So that is all my shoes! Next blog will be up on Friday

Hey guys

So I thought I would start writing blog posts as I love seeing other peoples blogs and I love You tubers and I feel as a blog would be a great start to boost my confidence for when I want to become a You Tuber some day. I wasn't too sure if I wanted to do this because I'm not the best when it comes to dealing with hateful comments but my friend Sydney persuaded me and I feel this will be a fun extra activity to do as well as posting photos on instagram.

On here I will post about things I have been loving like make up, movies and even food, bit like a monthly favourite's I guess ah. I also will try give advice about certain things even though I am not the best at giving advice but hopefully some of it will be helpful. Basically writing about things you have most likely seen other you tubers talk about.


I hope you enjoy all my blogs and I will post a blog every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday.
