Please let me know if there are any items you would like me to start reviewing first, otherwise I will slowly go through the list one by one. I won't be buying much in the next few months - or the next year as I have a wedding to save up for!!

I'm going to start reviewing my most recent purchase first because I was so excited when I saw them on the Sleek make up stand. I had hoped they were on 3 for 2 like the last time I bought my Sleek palettes, but no such luck!! So this week I will be reviewing my new Sleek palettes - Caribbean Collection Curaҫao, The Primer Palette & Mediterranean Collection Monaco.

Summer Bright NOTD

Today I've decided to go for something really bright and textured. I picked up my selection of jelly nail polishes by Essence. I haven't used these as much as I would like, the Bubblegum pink is lovely!

Here we have Very Berry by Essence, part of their Jelly Baby nail polish collection.

I also added a bit of flair with the black and white nail art pens. What do you think?

Outfit Of The Day (OOTD)

Today I was looking for inspiration on what to wear with my high waisted denim shorts as it was a lovely sunny day in the UK! I came across this picture of Rachel Bilson and found the perfect outfit for my day spent in the park reading "The Brightest Star In The Sky" on my Kindle.

Cardigan - Dorothy Perkins
White vest - Republic
High waisted denim shorts - Republic
Gladiator shoes - New Look
Necklace - Gift Shop

What do you think? Do you ever copy a celeb style - who's your guru?
Thanks for reading! xoxo

New video up on Youtube

Hi everyone, hope you're all doing well and looking forward to Easter?
I've been enjoying the lovely weather we're having in the UK at the moment and am getting excited as I go on holiday in 27 days!

I finally managed to upload a YouTube video - yes!!

Stay tuned for more. Thanks for watching xoxo

Delay...

Apologies for the recent lack of posts and delay in doing a video blog. I was gonna get back on it tonight, but my boyfriend was out on his new bike and was hit by a car, so I'm currently in the hospital with him.

Hope you're all keeping well, and looking forward to me coming back! Xoxo

Black Spring

I know it's lovely and sunny here in the UK but I really fancied using my black sparkle nail polish! I cheated and cleaned the edges up when I was in the shower! I think the sparkles manage to brighten it up enough for Spring, and the black is a perfect contrast to all the bright clothes I've been wearing!

What colours have you had on your nails lately? xoxo

Poolside Blue

I have another short blog post for you! My internet won't be switched on until 25th March so please bear with me!

I used No.7 Poolside Blue for the base and Models Own Sterling Silver for the tips.

What do you think?

I apologise once again about my lack of blog posts. I've now moved and am hoping to get the internet sorted shortly! But for now here is a picture of how my toiletries have settled in!

Makeup for a Gig

Doing make up in a car is always good fun...to see whether you will end up getting lipstick all round your mouth or eyeliner in your eye!

I used:

L'oreal True Match Foundation in (W3) Golden Beige
No.7 Perfect Light Loose Powder in Medium
Rimmel Blusher in Santa Rose

EYES

Urban Decay Primer Potion
Frontcover Twinkling Gold - inner eye
