So I recently wen shopping in my local town and found some really lovely pieces to add to my spring and summer collection.
I went for some items that I wouldn't normally go for and went out of my comfort zone a little bit. I am so glad I did as I really love the pieces and know I am going to get so much wear out of them.
I really hope you enjoy the video and leave me a comment below and I will be happy to answer them.
So with the Spring air and the gorgeous sunshine the UK has been having I thought it would be a great time to do a spring makeup look.
I recently bought two new palettes.
Revolution: Ultra 32 Shade Eyeshadow Palette FLAWLESS MATTE £8.00
Collection: Collection Eyes Uncovered Palette in Nude £3.99 Both of these palettes are gorgeous and really pigmented! Also they are such value for money and superdrug are offering 3 for 2 at the moment (April 2015) so I recently purchased 3 more products from the Revolution range!
For this look I wanted to create soft eyes with a darker outer corner and also bring some colour under the eyes. I finished the look with a peach cheek blusher and a peach/orange lip.
I really hope you enjoy the video and please subscribe for more and stay tuned for upcoming shopping hauls and makeup tutorials.
Well Spring is truly on its way now, with the daffodils blooming and the sunshine making an appearance.
Spring is the time for more colourful clothing hitting the high streets and the perfect excuse to go on a shopping spree to update that wardrobe!!
Primark is such a fab shop to find bargain items that are this seasons trends to make you look and feel like a fashion Icon!!
I found some lovely items on a trip to my local Primark and I thought I would share them with you.
I hope you enjoy the video below and if you would like to ask me any questions then please feel free to leave me one.
The Pinafore dress can be dated as far back as the 16th century, originally worn like an apron.
Judy Garland is seen in a blue checked pinafore dress in the classic film The Wizard of Oz 1939.
This style of dress seems to be making an appearance again this Spring with all different designs and colours in various shops.
I love these dresses as they are so feminine and they can be worn either quite casually or glam it up for a night out.
Some of my favourite pinafores I have seen so far include a gorgeous zip through penny dress an a tan colour available from Topshop £36.
This one from New Look, is slightly different to the original pinafore design but still has the same affect, and I love the checked print on this. Available at New look for £19.99.
Asos stocks this very vintage, rustic looking pinafore, at only £16 this will defiantly turn heads.
This one from Yumi Kin at House of Fraser is very typical looking to a workwear pinny, this is available at £29. I love the metal detailing with buttons on the straps, very workwear style!
This trend for me at the moment, I absolutely love and can be styled in so many different ways!!
I hope you enjoyed this post, please check out my others, see ya soon xx
Yay, I am back to making videos and updating my beauty blog!!
It has been a while, due to personal reasons, but now I am back and ready to start again!!
What better way to return than a huge collective haul, everyone likes a haul!!!
There are some really great fashion trends at the moment that I absolutely love!
Fur is big this season, obviously not real fur, thats just wrong!! Tartan print, leather, mohair, and much more!!
Mixing textures is also a fashion statement this season and its such a fun way to try out different styles!! I absolutely love fur with leather, it looks so classic!
In the photo below are some of my favourite items at the moment that can be mixed and matched to create different outfits! I love making these grids with clothes I have, its really inspiring and you can put an outfit together in seconds!!
So please check out my video below for all the items I have purchased over the last two months and get inspired!!!
I hope you enjoy it, please leave me a comment if you would like to ask a question :-)
I recently received the Avon True Colour Eyeshadow Quad and I thought the colours would be beautiful to produce a tutorial on it.
I must say, the colours are amazing and they would work all year round. It really is a versatile little quad.
All the colours are pigmented and smooth onto the eye area just perfectly.
The four shades in the quad are:
1. Pearl/white/cream/pink highlighter
2. Lilac/pink.
3. Plum/purple.
4. Khaki/grey.
In the tutorial I have used all the shades in the palette but I have used the highlighter alone and I would also use these colours in other eyeshadow looks.
So this is my first ever get ready with me video!!!
Im really excited to share this with you and I really hope you enjoy it :-)

So I have had this brush from Blank Canvas Cosmetics since before Christmas and what can I say!!
Its the best foundation brush I have ever used.
The bristles are so soft, it says on the website that they handmade from extra soft high quality synthetic fibres. You can feel how soft they are when you apply your foundation to your skin, the product just glides on flawlessly.
What really makes me happy is that the brush is 100% cruelty free!!
I also love the colour of this brush, the purple and metallic look about it makes it feel so expensive.
Yet this brush is an affordable £11.62.
Overall I would defiantly recommend this brush, I have dry skin and this is so soft on my face. I find some foundation brushes quite harsh on my face and its leaves me with dry patchy areas.
This leaves my skin flawless and if you are wondering what foundation I use with this, then I use a range.
My favourites include:
* Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua
* Estee Lauder Double Wear
* Loreal True Match
* Covergirl Outlast Foundation
I hope you enjoyed the review and you found it helpful.
I am a huge fan of Beauty Guru Tanya Burr, so when I heard the news she was bringing out a lipgloss and nail varnish collection I was very excited indeed!
I have been a subscriber of Tanya's for around four years now and I look forward to every video that she brings out.
So lets get to the Lipgloss, the one I have is called Champagne Toast, such a unique name, I love it!!
The packaging is very cute and reminds me of the Mac lip glasses, so very elegant and also with a lot of product inside.
The applicator is soft and gentle and delivers just the right amount with one sweep, although you can build this up if desired.
The colour has a slight peach tone which lots of sparkle and glitter, and looks amazing on its own or applied over a shade of lipstick.
Above photo shows the Lipgloss worn on its own, as you can see it gives a lovely gloss and unique colour. It is not sticky at all, as with some lip glosses they can be super sticky and annoying.
It also lasts a very long time on the lips.
I wore this yesterday with a coral lipstick underneath and it looked just simply stunning!!
You can purchase Champagne Toast from Feel unique at an amazing price of £6.99.
There is a whole range of shades and I defiantly will be purchasing the other colours as they also look very stunning. I just might have to spoil myself and purchase the shoe collection.
So overall I am very impressed with this Lipgloss, it has good colour, lots of shimmer and sparkle and such a great price.
So this fun tag was created last year and a lot of youtubers have been taking part in it this year.
I thought I would do the tag video as its a really fun one to make and I love watching them myself.

1. Favorite candle scent?
2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate? 3. What's the best fall memory you have? 4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner? 5. What do you want to be for Halloween? 6. Favorite Thanksgiving food? 7. Hats or Scarves? 8. Most worn sweater? 9. Favorite fall nail polish? 10. Football games or jumping in leaf piles? 11. Skinny jeans or leggings? 12. Combat boots or Uggs? 13. What's your #1 favorite thing about fall?

With the recent unveiling of who is in 'Celebrity get me out of here'.I had the pleasure of meeting Amy Willerton at the Maggie and Co fashion show this year.
The fashion show was in aid of Rowcroft Hospice, an amazing Hospice located here in Torbay.
I also met Charlotte, which I had the amazing opportunity of applying her makeup for the show.
Estelle from Be Lush Bridal Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist had the fantastic opportunity of applying Amy's makeup.

So for my first Christmas gift idea I have chosen a DIY on how to make simple Brush holders. These can be for make-up brushes or even stationary.
The project is really simple, extremly fun to do and doesn't take long at all to complete.
These are the things you will need:
The result, beautiful brush holders that you can store on your vanity or wherever you keep your makeup. Or with stationary items on that you can store on your desk at home or at work.
Your colleges will be jealous, so make them for there desks as well!!!
Obvisouly everybody has different tastes but the great thing about this DIY is that you can customised it to the person you are making them for.
Give it a go, tweet me your photos!!!
Please watch the video below to see how I created them :-)
This week I have been testing out the Monu Illuminating Primer.
This was one of the items in my October GlossyBox and I was very keen to try it out. I have been using it for over a week now and I must say I am thrilled with the results. I have tried so many primers, from drugstore to high end and this comes in my top three.
A little bit about the primer:
This primer is formulated with light reflective particles known as Mica which instantly brightens the complexion and adds a sheen and radiance to the skin which looks amazing on its own or under make-up.
The soft focus technology gives the appearance of smoother skin and gives a flawless finish.
It contains Vitamin E, an antioxidant which fights free radicals.
How I used it:
After I washed my face, cleansed and toned, I applied my moisturiser and let that sink into my skin. I then applied a pea sized amount of primer and gently applied it to my face and neck. The texture is quite thick but feels lovely on the skin and immediately brightens the face.
I then apply my foundation using the F22 HD Dome face brush from Blank Canvas Cosmetics. The foundation goes on lovely over the primer and after wearing it all day the foundation stayed on my face. I was amazed as I have tried so many primers claiming they keep your foundation on all day and night.
I would defiantly recommend purchasing this primer, after I have used up my trial size I am going to buy myself one.
I am very impressed!!!!
Monu Illuminating Primer retails at £24.95.
If you would like to try this primer out for yourself I have included the website below:
