FOTD: Minimal Make-Up!

Well I've been trying to think of a more imaginative title for this post for a while, but that's just gonna have to do! On Wednesday I went for lunch with my grandparents and some family friends. I've been suffering quite badly with hayfever over the past week and minimal make-up is the way to go...wearing tons of make-up just irritates my eyes even more. Actually looking at these pictures it looks like I'm wearing no make-up at all, but hey!






~Maybelline The Falsies Mascara
~17 Hide Away Concealer
~2true Twist 'n' Line Eye Definer
~Mango & Papaya Lip Balm (this was a gift but I'm pretty sure it's from Superdrug....the only problem is that it tastes SO good yo have to keep putting more on!)

~Hair flower from H&M
~Blouse from Tesco

I was also a 'Featured Follower" on Elle's blog. It's a great idea for bloggers to see other bloggers and find out more about them, so check it out!



Enjoy! xo

Half Term Buys

Hi there,
I hope you're all having a lovely weekend and enjoying the nice weather again! For me this weekend is the end of half term...I'm back at school on Monday and have a lovely week consisting of 7 exams (3 of which are on one day!) :(
I haven't done much revision which is a bit stupid on my part, but as you can see from my haul here I've had much more fun!
These are the things I've bought over the last week;


(Image - Google)
Tesco, £4.99. I've been on the look out for a new mascara, and saw my friend wearing this the other day. It looked amazing on her so will have to give this a go.


Retro lilac swimsuit, Tesco £12



Pretty floral blouse, Tesco £8


Navy striped dress, Primark £9


50s style dress, Primark £7.50 (love a bargain!)

So my Summer wardrobe is beginning to come together...I just hope the weather is good enough to wear it! There are a couple more things I'd like to get, and I'm sure I'll end up buying stuff I don't need but we'll see :)

Enjoy! xo

Cheap Cosmetics & Website Rave

Hi girlies :)

I'm so excited to share with you a beauty website I came across over the weekend. FragranceDirect sells dirt cheap cosmetics, hair products and perfumes. Delivery to the UK is only £1.95 and my order came within 2 working days!
I just bought a few things for my first order, because I'm always wary of cheap websites which may not deliver your items. Here's what I got...


Rimmel Lasting Finish - Black Cherries £0.59 (RRP £2.99)
Maybelline Pure Blush Mineral - Plum Alchemy £1.99 (RRP £6.99)
Bourjois Eau de Gloss- Rose Vitamine £0.99 (RRP £7.99) *my only complaint about this product is that by taking the packaging off a bit of the writing rubbed off, not a big deal though!*


St. Moriz Self Tanning Mousse £2.99 (RRP £15) *I've never self tanned before, so will let you know how this goes!*


Veet Sensitive Skin Hair Removal Cream £1.99 (RRP £6.29) *I regularly buy this but have never seen it this cheap.*


Covet by Sarah Jessica Parker £7.99 (RRP £29)

So overall I'm really impressed with this company. The delivery, quality and prices are excellent. I definitely recommend you take a look....check it out here!

Barry M Kohl pencil
A gold shimmer eyeshadow (sorry no idea where it's from, the label has worn off)

Favourite Mascara

Hi :)

Ok this is going to be a bit of a weird post, because I have found my favourite mascara...and I've only used it once!! Recently I've been having really bad luck with mascara and couldn't find anything suitable. However, I took a gamble yesterday and bought The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara by Maybelline ,mainly because it was on special offer! RRP is £7.99 but I got it for £5.99 from Boots. I used it straight away and I'm so so impressed! It adds length rather than thickness, which is exactly right for me because I need extra length. And so far I haven't had any clumping or flaking so all's good :) I took a close up picture of how it looks, but it hasn't come out very well so you probably can't see quite how good it is lol, but anyway here we go......




I really do recommend you give this mascara a go...it's great value and looks good! :)
