Boots Haul
Hey guys!
At the moment Boots keep doing Advantage Card point
events and being the Boots lover I am, I had to go!
So here's a little haul of the bits I picked up :)
This is just my everyday foundation. I've used it for years and always found that
whatever other foundation I use I always come back to this one.
My shade is 003 Shell.
I use this cleanser morning and evening with my Clarisonic.
Its great for dry or sensitive skin. I like to use Cetaphil's moisturising lotion after.
(I have dry/spot prone skin.)
After hearing every Youtuber rave about this concealer, I finally picked it up!
I've used it 3 times now and I think it's great. the coverage is really good and matches my
skin tone perfectly. I bought it in shade 2 Light, but I may go back and buy the
lightest shade just for under my eyes.
I never wear fake eyelashes as I just prefer to wear less make up in the daytime
and very rarely go out in the evening. But seeing as I want to do make-up professionally
I though I should pick some up and start practising. It went better than i though.
They look gorgeous and really open up your eyes. They're perfect for an evening/night out.
I use the Gillette Venus Embrace razor and just needed to pick up some blades for it!
The blades aren't cheap to buy all the time but it's well worth it!
I have my driving test coming up and I bought this as I read so many reviews saying
it helps to relax you before things such as driving tests, so I though I would give it a go.
Has anyone else used this before? What did you think of it?
Aussie is my favourite haircare brand and as I was running out on my last lot
I thought I'd pick up some more! I have long hair so I picked up the luscious
long shampoo and conditioner. I usually pick up this or the miracle moist ones.
As it was 3 for £10 on Aussie haircare I picked up this leave in heat spray.
I have the leave in conditioning cream which I put on my hair when it's damp.
I like to use to spray right before I style my hair with any hot hair tools
as I don't like to put heat on my hair without any protection.

My Favourite Online Shops
If you haven't heard of ASOS then I don't know where you've been! It's probably my
favourite online shop going just because their prices are great, they offer free shipping and
every time I have a look they have even more new things. As well as selling their own brand,
they also sell other top brands and designers and the prices are pretty good too. I've always
heard good things from them and my sister and I both love it.
Missguided are a great online shop. They are so up to date with the latest fashion
and offer a variety of different trends. Their pieces are so chic and great quality yet so
affordable. It's definitely one of the best online shops out there.
So I couldn't do this post without mentioning my favourite place ever! Most, if not all of you
must know of Zara. Zara are on the high street but sometimes I like to have a look online
when I can't be bothered to go out or haven't had a chance to go in. The quality of Zara is
amazing to me, especially for the prices. Although some things in there are quite
expensive to some people, there are some great deals in there. I always get
complimented on things I buy from here and always get
told they look a lot more expensive then they are which is a win win, right?
H&M are another hight street shop but again I love going online as they have more options on
there and they also have a home section and I weirdly really love home ware shopping.
Like, I really love it. H&M are so affordable and I buy most of my clothes from here. I love
their basic section, it's about the same prices as Primark but I feel the quality is better.
Since Forever 21 came over to the UK I've been dying to go in but sadly there isn't one near me.
However they have an online shop! I'm always on here looking at clothes. I'm yet to buy something
from here but I've heard lots of good reviews on their clothes and the quality of them. I always eye
up things on here and just think 'should I?' but never do. I immediately regret it, so next time I see
something I love on there, I'm just gonna give in!
So I discovered Nasty Gal not too long ago and I'm yet to buy something from here, as
they're not the cheapest place. If anyone has bought anything from here please let me
know your experience. For now, I'm just eyeing up bits and keeping tabs of what
I like until I have enough money.
So this place is a little more on the expensive side. Payment is in USD but you can change
currency to GBP to see how much it would be. This is for when you have a bit more
money and want to invest in something a little nicer. I'm currently wanting a
Marc Jacobs watch I've wanted forever!

Liebster Award
So my blog was nominated for the Liebster Award! It was nominated by the lovely Tiffanie from http://www.underthecoversofmysticfury.com/ or as she likes to be called ..Mystic Fury!
The Liebster Award is designed to give recognition to bloggers with fewer than 200 followers. So it gives a chance for bloggers like myself to be recognised.
The rules
You must link back to the person that nominated you.
You must answer the 11 Liebster questions given to you by the nominee before you.
You must pick 11 bloggers to be nominated for the award with under 200 followers.
You must come up with 11 questions for your nominees to answer.
You must go to their blogs and notify your nominees.
Here's the answers to the questions that Tiffanie has asked me..
Who have you admired in your life?
Lana Del Rey. And I still do. She's not you're average music artist and she doesn't do it for the money. She does it because she wants people to hear what she has to say and I love her outlook on life. To me, her music is a lot more authentic and honest than what you usually hear on T.V.
What is your favorite reading material?
Honestly, I don't read a lot as I never have time, but I religiously get Cosmo every month. Other than that I own quite a few Lauren Conrad books.
What is your dream job?
Make Up Artist, of course.
How do you manage blogging in everyday life?
I don't. Ha. I have a job other than this so it's a bit difficult as a lot of it is preparation as well but I'm trying! I also procrastinate a lot so that doesn't help!
Where is your ideal retirement location?
Haven't quite decided that yet. I'd like to travel to a few different places when I retire though.
Have you ever visited a castle?
A few that are ruins from castles but I don't remember any of their names!
Describe an epic moment in your life.
Having my blog nominated for this was pretty epic.. :)
What is your favorite holiday?
Disney Land Paris when I was a child, for sure!
Has a movie/film ever changed your views on a particular subject?
I studied film in college so had to learn to read into films and have views and opinions on them and discuss them afterwards. At the time I thought it was stupid and pointless but it is nice to have a discussion about it afterwards to see other peoples views on it.
I watched Prisoners recently and that really hit me. I felt extremely upset afterwards and even though I know it was based on true events and it happens all the time, to me I couldn't quite believe that someone would do that and things like that happen in the world. That film really stuck with me.
What are your thoughts on true love/soul mates?
I'm not sure about soul mates. I don't not believe in it, but for me I just feel like you can love people in life but there's one person that everyone is just meant to be with.
One word to describe your favourite teachers or boos.
Protective.
My list of Liebster Awards
