My Desk/Vanity Tour


Hey guys!
Today I'm going to be showing you my desk tour. It is still not completed yet as it's still not
exactly how I would like it. There's still things I need to get and I'm forever moving things around.
But for now, this is how my desk looks. 
(I've tried to list as many things as I can at the bottom.)
Enjoy!

May Favourites


Hey guys!
So it's been a while since I last posted but I'm back with my May favourites.
I haven't really been shopping much recently so I don't have a ton of favourites. But
I have however been de-cluttering recently which has made me rediscover some old favourites of mine!






I never use to really be into bright lipsticks but over time I've grown to love them a lot. There's so
many amazing colours to experiment with and even if you have the most boring, plain make-up on,
put on a bright lip and it changes the whole look. Revlon lipsticks are my favourite. They have great
pigmentation, great colour range and they're so inexpensive and usually have 3 for 2 in Boots or Superdrug!
(Couldn't get a good swatch of it that did the colour any justice.
Definitely go and check it out though if you get the chance!)

If you read my blog you may have seen that I really love my Clean & Clear spot treatment gel. I still do,
I just rediscovered this beauty. I completely forgot I had It. I use to use it all the time. It's really amazing
and really reduces the redness and dried out any spot in just a few days. It is a bit more pricey than the
Clean & Clear one at £14. I got mine about a year or so ago and I'm almost sure it was only £10-£11 back then.
Anyway, I'm looking to try out the Mario Badescu range as  I hear nothing but good things about it.
I'll definitely be reviewing it on here if I do! 

You can honestly never go wrong with a Lush product. They're so on top on their game and they're
products are always spot on. I've never found an exfoliator that I even slightly liked until this one. It really
is so amazing. It smells like the beach to me, with the salty water and everything and who doesn't love that?
I have quite dry skin so when I first went to use it I was a bit hesitant just because I thought it might dry
out my skin even more but it did the opposite. It has avocado butter in it which keeps my skin soft and smooth.

I've never been one to fake tan or anything but, I don't mind using gradual tan products as I feel like they're
not as big of a commitment. I saw that Anna Saccone used this and I thought I'd give it a try because her
skin always looks so good and has such a beautiful glow. I'm quite pasty I'd say so I got fair-medium.
So far I really love it. It's easy to apply and quick to dry and gives you a lovely glowing tan.

Since the weather is getting a little bit nicer, I though I'd whack out the bronzer to give my pasty face a
bit more colour! I know this one is quite expensive but a little bit goes a long way with this. It's matte so
there's no shimmer which I love. It's easy to blend and on more pale people, like myself, it is hard to get
bronzer's to look natural on the skin. This one looks very natural on the skin and is great for contouring as well.

Primark Heeled Sandals
I'm a bit late on the heeled sandal trend but hey. I've wanted some for quite a while now. They're just so classic
looking and can be dressed up or down, which I love. Plus these ones were only £12 from Primark.. Bargain!
