Recently I spent a little bit of money at MAC which I had got for my birthday. I was looking to open up to a few more natural lip colours, as I only really have bright lip colours except a couple of nudes. I picked up MAC Twig because it's a satin finish and I wanted something that was a little glossier than matte...
Recently I went to see Mad Max in the cinema with my boyfriend. It was definitely more of his sort of film, as I like action movies but don't pick to watch them that much. Mad Max is set in the future when humanity is very divided and focusing on the main parts of their survival, oil and water. The main characters of the movie are Max,...
If there's one red I'll always go to, it's MAC Ruby Woo. I know it's drying and can be hard on the lips without proper exfoliating and moisturising before hand, but it's the perfect red for my skin tone and I absolutely love wearing it. Unfortunately, for absolutely ages there was no proper lip pencil to match. With someone as bold as red, I...
Recently I was browsing Netflix as you do, and I noticed this film called They Came Together starring Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler. I absolutely adore Paul Rudd so decided to give it a go. They Came Together is a very strange movie, it's quirky and pokes fun at every sort of romantic comedy at the moment. Full of cliché moments such as the first meeting...
A couple of weeks ago I purchased the Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser Eye Concealer as I was running low on my current Revlon concealer, and thought it might be time for a change. I had heard quite good reviews of this before so thought why not! I bought the shade Light which at first sight does look quite dark, but it does work...
For my birthday Disney emailed me with a tempting 15% off offer, and although I haven't used it (yet) I did have a look on the website and came across these adorable mugs. I think they would be so cute in a kitchen and adds a bit of Disney childhood/adulthood memories. I would definitely buy a whole bunch of these if I were moving...
A few weeks ago I bought the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge to try out, as I was tired of brushes always leaving streaks on my face and I could never really get my foundation to look great using face brushes (I used the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush). From the first moment I used the sponge, oh my. It was love. You...

Recently I finished up my shampoo and conditioner and saw these two on offer. I decided to buy them and try them out. I bought 'the colour illuminator' set which protects coloured hair, and as my hair is purple I definitely need some colour protection! I am absolutely in love with these products. The shampoo lathers up hair brilliantly, is great on my scalp...
Last Saturday was my 21st birthday and I thought I would show a few pictures from my day, as I really enjoyed writing the previous life post about Birmingham, which you can see here. My 21st birthday started off really well with a delicious breakfast at Toby Carvery. I usually only have toast for breakfast so it's nice treating yourself to a full...
Over the last bank holiday my boyfriend and I stayed in Birmingham for the night as a little pre birthday treat for my 21st birthday on the 9th. We ate at Jamie's Italian which is one of my favourites and I absolutely love the food there. My boyfriend had the steak while I had the lamb chop scottadito (3rd picture) which I had...
Marvel's latest superhero movie is the sequel to The Avengers, this time they are fighting hundreds upon hundreds of robots in The Avengers: Age of Ultron. The movie starts beautifully, with a very action packed sequence and a gorgeous shot of all avengers fighting together. They seem very in sync and almost enjoying it a little too much with their off topic dialogue...
Over the past month or so I've been using the L'oreal skin perfection day moisturiser as my daily moisturiser because I'm still on the look out for my favourite and 'holy grail' moisturiser. The moisturiser is part of L'oreal's skin perfection range which includes a serum, an instant blur thing (I don't actually know what it is!) and a make up remover. I...
Over the past two or three weeks, I've started pinning home decor on pinterest. A part of me loves being nosey and seeing how other people decorate a space and make a 'house a home' but also I find it very calming to sit with my laptop in the evening and just pin everything I love or find interesting. I'm sometimes a forgetful...
Recently while shopping I noticed a new primer on the high street from Rimmel. It was on offer at Boots when I bought it so I decided why not, because I do like primers and it's definitely something I'm lacking a few of in my collection. Rimmel lasting finish primer is said to increase make up wear for up to 8 hours, while minimising pores and...
As you have probably noticed, this blog has been rather inactive the past few weeks. It's not that I haven't had the time, or more depressed than lately but rather I was stressed and the stress was getting on top of me and I didn't know how to control it properly. Usually I can be ok with stress, and I like working to...
Still Alice is a movie about linguistics professor Alice Howard, who in her early 50's begins to forget words and places. After visiting her doctor, she is diagnosed with early onset alzheimer's disease, and faces the disease with the help of her loving family. I really enjoyed this film. It's an incredibly heartbreaking story, but doesn't make you cry, more just feel sympathetic and intrigued...
