Meeting Zoella! - Girl Online 2 Book Signing ♡

Hey guys!

This post is just going to be a short one showing you a couple of photos from when I finally met my idol (Zoella) at her Girl Online 2 book signing in Brighton!  

Zoe was honestly so kind and friendly, she was so genuine and came across just as she is in her videos which was so nice! I haven't yet started Girl Online 2 since the book signing, but I am going to make sure that I do very soon!

 Unfortunately due to the amount of people there and time limits you weren't allowed to take posed photos / selfies with her, but your parents were allowed to take photos while you were with her! So creds to my Dad who took the first photo for me!

  I just want to do a bit of a disclaimer and say that I am in no means trying to brag about the fact I met Zoe - I was extremely lucky to get tickets to go with my best friend, and it was part of my Christmas present from my parents. I also wanted to share these photos on my blog as a memory to keep! If you love Zoe like I do but haven't got the chance to meet her then I hope one day you will, as I'm sure she will do lots of other events! *Fingers crossed for Girl Online 3 and book signings for that! :) * 

 I hope you all have an amazing Halloween tomorrow whatever your doing!

My Favourite Palette for Autumn - GOSH Cosmetics! ♡

Hey everyone!

Today I'm doing a post on my new favourite palette perfect for Autumn, and it's the GOSH cosmetics "To Enjoy in New York" palette! This palette is available in Superdrug,and retails for £9.99. 

So in this palette you get 9 shades, mostly plum colours, with a neutral grey and brown. There are also a couple of shades perfect for highlighting (top left) which I have tested under the brow bone and in the inner corner of my eye, and it gives a beautiful shimmer similar to MAC's "vanilla" pigment. 

Here are swatches of all the shades, going from left to right in each row:

The shades don't have names, but all have shimmer in them, so I use MAC's paint pot in "Painterly" to prime my eyes, and then use these gorgeous shades for a berry eye. If you love your red lipstick, then wear it with a purple smokey eye and it would look fab!
The shades are really pigmented, and as long as I prime my eyes (I have oily eyelids) then they stay on all day, and don't transfer to under my eyes!

For £9.99 I think the palette is really good, and it offers a pretty range of shades to create numerous different eye looks with, which look great in the Autumn and Winter!

I hope you enjoyed this mini review! Also, I thought I would just let you know that my new blogging schedule is that there will always be new posts once a week on a Friday, but I will also try and post  more throughout the week when I can!

See you Monday!

The Autumn Tag! ♡

Hello beauties!

As its getting into the cosy Autumn/Winter months I thought I would do a good old tag! I originally saw this on a girl called Georgia's blog ( http://www.makeup-pixi3.com )so creds to her for this fab idea! The last tag post I ever did was a "20 Facts About Me" one, which happened to be the first post I ever did on this blog, so I think one is long over due! :)

So grab some snuggly blankets and a warm cuppa as this may be a long post!

1: What's Your Favourite Seasonal Drink?
My favourite seasonal drink isn't available until Christmas, but its the white hot chocolate from Costa's! It tastes amazing, and they sprinkle cute little gold stars on top which I love.  But I also like one from Starbucks which you can get all year round, and its their luxury hot chocolate. It's perfect for if  you've been shopping and you fancy a sweet treat!

2:  Favourite accessories?
My favourite accessory during Autumn is definitely a red tartan scarf! I just love the way that it looks with my green parker jacket, and it keeps me nice and toasty when I'm outside and its cold!

3: What's your favourite music to listen to in Autumn?
I don't really change my taste in music as the seasons change (apart from Christmas of course!) and I normally just listen to whatever is hot in the charts. But recently I have been loving Ariana Grande, as her voice is just perfect and her songs are great!

4: What's your favourite scent for this time of year?
At the moment its the Zoella blissful mistful perfume! It's just a really floral, girly scent and I love it!

5: What scents will you be burning this season?
I really love the smell of Yankee candles, even though I don't own one, but hopefully this year I'm going to get my hands on Snowflake Cookie, because it smells incredible!
P.S - a good tip for making your room smell lovely is to have a basket full of festive lush products- it fills your room with amazing smells and lasts until you use them!

6: What do you love most about Autumn?
This is a tricky question, but I love lots of movies, hot chocolate, snuggly pyjamas, scarves, thick jumpers, the berry makeup looks, and red lips! I also love being able to go outside and see all the leaves changing colour, because it makes me even more excited for Christmas!

7: Favourite makeup look?
This time of year is when I whip out all those berry eye shadow shades and red lippy's! At the moment I have been using the GOSH cosmetics "To Enjoy In New York" eyeshadow palette, it has lots of deep purple and neutral shades perfect for this season! (Post coming soon!)

8:  What are you looking forward to most this Autumn?
Hot chocolate, shopping with friends and the countdown to CHRISTMAS! :)

I hope you enjoyed this post, see you next time!

New Tanya Burr Cosmetics Review & Swatches! ♡

Hey!

So today's post is very exciting because I'm going to be showing you some of the new Tanya Burr makeup products that I picked up the other day! I was so excited when I read on Tanya's blog that she was bringing out more products to add to her collection, as I am a big fan of all the other products that she has released! Soooooo when I saw the new collection on a shelf in Superdrug, I had to pick up a couple of things!

The products I decided on in the end were the "Hollywood Eye Palette" and also the "I Found Nemo" lipgloss. As a huge Disney fan of course I had to get the one with Nemo in it :)

So the first thing I love about the products is the packaging! The pink and gold on the eyeshadow palette is dreamy, and the gold lid on the lipgloss looks fab! I also love how the mirror in the palette is a love heart, little touches like that make me super happy!
The lip glosses are so long wearing and not sticky at all. The colours come out really vibrant on your lips. They also smell minty, and each lip gloss costs £5.99.
The eyeshadow palette - definitely my favourite! The names of all the shades are really cute, my favourite probably being "enchantment." The eyeshadows are really pigmented, and are quite long-lasting. When I used them I applied an eyeshadow base first because otherwise eyeshadows generally don't stay on my eyelid, so I'm not sure how they are without a base.
The palettes all cost £6.00, which I think is amazing!

So I really hope you enjoyed this post, leave me a comment below if you have bought anything from the range, or if you have your eye on any of the products!

Tanya's new range can be found in Superdrug and the FeelUnique website! Also, Tanya uploaded a tutorial with her using the Hollywood palette I showed in this post, as well as some of her lip glosses so here is a link to that video!

Mid-August Favourites! ♡

Hiya!

This weeks post is going to be my mid August favourites. I can't believe how quickly this month is going and we are nearly going into Autumn which is crazy! Summers nearly over and I will be going back to school soon. *cries.* Anyway, here's what I'm currently loving this month!

Life With A Sprinkle of Glitter Book

So I'm going to put my hands up straight away and say  I don't really enjoy reading very much at all. But when I was in Waterstones and saw this on the shelf I knew that I would love it, being by one of my favourite youtubers, Sprinkle of Glitter! Louise's fun personality really shows through in her book, and there were times where I found myself giggling at some of the things she said. There are chapters in there for everyone, like beauty, pampering, body confidence and love. My favourite was probably the "Glitz" section, it really put me in the mood for a pamper evening! :)

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water 

"Oh not this product again" I hear you say. Yep, I know. Every single beauty blogger and youtuber out there has talked about this product A LOT, and I'm about to too :)

Hearing this product being mentioned SO many times on blog posts or videos, I felt like I had to give it a go. So off I went to boots, and picked up the small bottle as it was my first time with it. I was a bit worried that my skin would react badly to it, because I have had that with a previous Garnier product before. BUT I LOVE IT! It breaks down your makeup a real treat, and makes the whole removing makeup process a lot quicker as you can use it on your eyes and your face! 

Real Techniques Blush Brush.

Being a huge fan of real techniques brushes and starting to get into wearing blusher, this brush seemed like the way to go. And boy was it the right way too. This brush is so so so soft (just like all the others) and is the perfect size and shape for your cheek bones. It gathers just enough product on the brush to create the perfect flush of colour to your cheeks. Yay!

Benefit Total Moisture Facial Cream

So, not so long ago Benefit released their line of skincare products. As you may have seen if you read my May favourites, I raved about their eye make-up remover, which I love. Now I'm back, 3 months later talking about their amazing moisturiser! I have been using a mini size which got in a big Benefit skincare kit (blog post on that soon) for a while now, and have fallen in love with it! It's really hydrating and since using it, my dry skin has improved a lot. It also has a lovely scent, which makes it even more lovely to put on!

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Good bye creasing eyeshadow, hello perfect eye makeup! This little tube of joy fell into my basket after a trip to Debenhams and im so impressed with it! It keeps your eye makeup on for hours, and keeps creases away too, which is fab!    

That was a little bit of a long post, congrats if you read til the end :) See you in my next post!

The No-Bump Bobble! ♡

Hey guys!

So this post is going to be all about a discovery I made whilst reading some blog posts, called the No-Bump Bobble! Being someone with thick, mid-length hair the idea of strong but cute hair bobbles interested me straight away. After having a long old browse on their online shop and seeing they had Disney ones, I was sold straight away! :)
The people behind the company are so friendly,as I had a chat with them on instagram about their Disney ranges. The delivery was also really quick, which is an added bonus!
Here are the ones which I bought:

 From left: 60p, 60p, 60p, 40p, 60p.

These bobbles are great for your hair because they are snag-free, and they create no bumps in your hair when you put them in! Hooray!
Also, you can pick 5 different bobbles for £3, including delivery. They would be perfect to give to friends as gifts too!

All in all I'm really happy with them and would definitely recommended them if your looking for fun but high quality hair ties! :)

See you in my next post!

A New Discovery ♡

So recently after taking a well-needed trip to Primark, I was in the beauty section, when I saw this weird looking thing sat on the shelf. After picking it up, I saw that it was a facial cleansing pad (ooh la la.) Before I had been looking at some more facial cleansing systems online, but the price had put me off, most starting at about £80. But you would never guess how much this was. £1.50. So immediately that went straight in my basket (I do love that vine) and I was so excited to try it out that evening!

 When you first feel the bristles they are so soft! You would think that being plastic they would be really hard, and hurt your skin but they don't at all! The reason why I love this so much is because I have oily spot prone skin, and with one use the next morning my skin looked clearer! I was so shocked that it had cleared my spots slightly, so the product must of cleaned my pores really well!

All in all I am so impressed with this cleansing pad, and for £1.50, how can you go wrong?

See you next time!

May Favourites! ♡

Hiya!♡

So today's post is going to be my May favourites! Now I know it might be a little bit early to be doing a favourites post for this month, but I was just so excited to share them with you that I decided to do it today! :)

Makeup Revolution Baked Eyeshadow Palette in "Chocolate Deluxe"

My goodness, if there is a brand that has made a big entrance into my makeup collection this month it has to be Makeup Revolution! I first discovered their stand in Superdrug when I went on a shopping trip to Brighton with my friends, and I remember being so impressed with the look of some of their products! Ever since then this mini eyeshadow palette has been my go to for a gorgeous pink eye, and I can most definitely say that the pigmentation of the eyeshadows is up there against some of my high end ones, such as my Naked 3 palette! They come out really vibrant on the eyelid, and I love using the pale cream shades as inner corner highlights. For £2.50 this is a definite win! 

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

There is only 1 word that can explain this mascara. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! On having received a mini size in an Elle magazine, I was obsessed with it from my first time trying it. I'm an extreme mascara user, and I use lots of coats to make my eyelashes look volumised and long. But I found that with this masacara I could use less to get the effect that I wanted, which is great for my lashes and my bank account (we all know that Benefit mascaras aren't the cheapest hey.) 

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in "Pink Gold"

Before trying out the Maybelline colour tattoos I had never tried a cream eyeshadow, but now I'm hooked! These cream eyeshadows have lots of pigmentation, and they are very easy to blend. I find that my one in "pink gold" looks really flattering all over the lid, with a darker brown shade in the crease! I will definitely be checking out more of these in the next few months!

Benefit Remove It

I'm always on the hunt for the perfect eye makeup remover, as I'm quite fussy about the ones that I like. I hate oily ones, because I find them such a pain to work with and I have to go to the trouble of rinsing my eyes to get the oil off, after I have removed my eye makeup. This is how I came into loving this benefit one! My Auntie gave it to me after buying it when she didn't need it, so I decided to give it a try. It claims to be oil-free, which I completely agree with! It removes my makeup easily and doesn't leave any greasy residue on my eyelids, so wahey for my perfect match!

So now I'm going to talk about a series which I have a HUGE obsession with, The Divergent Series! If you read my 20 facts about me post, you would have seen me talking about Theo James being complete man candy. That still hasn't changed, obviously. But I knew that my new favourite films were these as soon as I saw Divergent, the first film to be released. After loving that film, I had to wait for the next one in the series, Insurgent. I can tell you now, it was well worth the wait! After seeing Divergent I didn't think that it could get any better, but it did. I think I was in the cinema looking like a complete weirdo, grinning from ear to ear throughout the whole thing. Now I have the long wait for Allegiant, which I am SUPER excited for!

Let me know what you have been loving this month in the comments, I would love to know! 

See you in my next post

The Perfect Pastels! ♡

Hey beauties!♡

Today's post is going to be all about pastel nail varnishes! Pastel colours are a personal favourite of mine, and finding nail varnishes that matches my love for them makes me very excited! I have bought a few which tickled my fancy, so I thought I would share them with you!

The great thing about these nail varnishes is that they are quite inexpensive, but fab quality! The Avon nail polish is £7, the Barry M one is £2.99, and the Models Own ones are £5 each. They can be found in many shops, however I always purchase mine from Boots or Superdrug, as they sometimes have offers on them like 3 for 2 (I love a good bargain!) Avon ones can be found online.

Shades

Models Own ~ Lemon Meringue

Models Own~ Bloo Bloo

Avon Gel Finish ~ unnamed

Barry M~ Berry Lilac

What are you going to be wearing on your nails this Spring/ Summer? Let me know! ♡
