Eyelashes Are A Girls Bestfriend



I got these Brit Rocks eyelashes from Savers for just £1.99. 

The quality of the lashes are just as good as Eylure lashes and look lovely on however the glue inside wasn't very good. I found it hard to apply the lashes with the Brit Rocks glue so I used a spare Eylure glue I had which worked perfectly for a stress free application! 

They had a variety of different styles so I picked up a couple of pairs. If your a fan of false lashes I would definitely recommend these.

Topshop Sale Goodies


The Topshop sale started today so I HAD TO  head down there to see if I could find myself any bargains.

 I picked up a couple of items, these summery black/tan leather sandal and a gold statement necklace. 

The heel on the sandals aren't to high so I'm thinking I can wear these during the day as well as in the evenings. Statement necklaces are a girls must have at the minute, you can never have too many!  This is my excuse for adding yet another necklace to my collection!

Today I'm Wearing


This weekend I went to Manchester for a Hen party and of course I had to take advantage of the amazing shops! Zara, Topshop and Mac were top on my check list.

I ordered these shorts from Topshop online, I had seen the matching jacket on Instagram but I couldn't find it anywhere. So that was it, it set me on a mission to find the matching jacket. I needed it! (Well I didn't need it, I wanted it) 

Low and behold they actually had the jacket in stock in the Trafford Centre Topshop, must be fate. 

I'm really into co-ordinates at the minute. I love the fact that even if the weather isn't great, which lets face it is often, I can wear the jacket with a nice black tee and a pair of black skinny jeans. 

Iv worn the jacket and shorts with a Zara v neck cami, chunky rose gold chain, Michael Kors rose gold watch and my Jeffrey Campbell studded shoes.

Magazine Freebie



Ciate nail polish and caviar set worth £10 free in this months Marie Claire.


Essie Polish


Being a hairdresser I often have my hands in water which means my polish tends to chip and needs painting more often to look neat and tidy.  I find the Essie polishes stay on for longer, keep their colour, and do not chip half as much as other brands I have used. The application of this polish is easy and neat to apply. I've applied 3 coats for an even finish and it drys fairly quickly to which is a bonus!

Current Favourite Makeup Products


A selection of my favourite makeup products at the moment

Bobbi Brown Hydrating Gel Moisturiser 
I have quite oily skin which is prone to breakouts so I find using a gel moisturiser works best for me. This moisturiser is quite light but definitely does the job of leaving my face soft and moisturised without making it look greasy.

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Even Finish Foundation
I've tried various foundations, before this I was using Estee Lauders double wear foundation but I found it made my skin break out a lot which then left me in a viscous circle because I would continue to use the foundation because I needed the coverage to cover the blemishes. With this Bobbi Brown foundation it gives me enough coverage and blends really well without feeling like I have a cakey foundation on my face. Will definitely purchase this again!

Bobbi Brown Illuminating Compact Powder
I swap between this and a Mac powder. I find the Bobbi Brown powder gives me a very natural even looking finish. The texture of this powder is creamy and super soft, it goes on beautifully.

Mac Bronzing Powder / Golden 
This has a slight glitter to it and is very natural looking which is perfect for during the day. 

Bobbi Brown 
I always swap between blushers, this one is very natural looking so I use this in my everyday makeup routine. It has a light matte texture that blends evenly and is long lasting. 

Estee Lauder Ideal Light Illuminating Concealer
Again I've swapped from double wear concealer to this, I was finding the double wear concealer was sitting in the fine lines and was a bit to heavy. This concealer gives a really nice even coverage, it's light reflective so will give a really illuminating healthy glow. I use this as a highlighter as well under my brow bone to make them look more defined or down the bridge of my nose. 

Mac Mineralize Skin Finish / Soft and Gentle 
I use this as a highlighting powder for my cheek bones, it can be used on the bridge of your nose or as a highlighter for your brow bone. I use this on my collar bones to contour and shins to elongate my legs. I found this has lasted me a lot longer than previous highlighting products I have used. This is well worth the money.

Estee Lauder Gel Eye Liner
I love this, I used to get really bad smudges on my eye lids from using eyeliner - this gel liner seems to set so much better without smudging and lasts longer. I use a brush to apply so I can get a neat finish. 

Bobbi Brown / Everything Mascara
I have yet to find the perfect mascara, my lashes are short and I am having a break from the individual lashes so at the moment they are quite brittle and short from having them on. This is long lasting and does not leave smudges under my eyes ,which is brilliant for bottom lashes.
