Hope everyone is having a fab week, I am feeling much better so I thought I would give you a bonus midweek blog. Everyone has things that make them happy in the daily routine. Here is a few things that I like to do in my chill time.

Bedroom set up.

I would definitely say a good book is a good place to start if you have spare time. A great book can put you in a completely different atmosphere, it can make you happy or can make you sad . Either way it can distract you from many things. The book I am reading at the moment is Rainbow Rowell 'Eleanor & Park'. I was a massive fan of 'Fangirl' so I decided to look in to her other book. I am really loving this book. A cup of Green Tea and a cosy duvet is perfect in this situation.

Doodling is also fun. Whether you are an artist or not, get a blank piece of paper and start doodling. You never know you just might create a masterpiece. I am loving this Fashion Sketchbook. I received this at Christmas and I love it. Whether is drawing of a past outfit, future outfit or an over the top outfit, I love it. I am not the best artist nor fashion designer, having it beside my bed gives me the idea that I am. Getting the right equipment and a perfect soundtrack can make the day fly by.

Carrying on from doodling, Having a diary or writing paper is must. I love to write my ideas about blog posts or my favourite quotes from the day. Taking the time in the day to write in my diary can also bring out the best points in my day. Looking through on my younger diarys makes me laugh. I normally keep at home but you could also take it in your bag and carry it with you. It doesn't have to be a fancy diary but a pretty one can help motivate you to use it.

I can also find inspiration on Tumblr. Whether on my phone or on my laptop I find I can spend hours scrolling and reblogging. Like I said I can find inspiration about outfits, bedroom ideas and eating ideas. It can make the day/night go quick. Maybe to quick!!!!!! (*Enter Self Promotion Here*) .

I hope to do more posts like this, I have a few ideas for new posts so keep an eye out. I really want to blog a lot more. I am trying really hard. :)

Let me know what you do in your chill times?

Happy May , Hope everyone had a fab April. My monthly favourites have came around so quick so here it goes.

My Real Techniques Bold Metallic 101 brush. This brush has been number one this month. After getting the Oval Shadow brush I really wanted to try the other bold metals set. And when I had some spare time on my lunch hour I went down to boots and seen that there was only one left.I thought it must be fate haha so I purchased it. This brush is perfect. The triangle shape means I can get into any intricate part of my face.The brush is so soft making my face look really smooth. I find the brush a perfect size for my whole face.

Topshop 'Chuck' Lipstick . This month I have been experimenting more with lipsticks. My fav has been 'Chuck' from Topshop. I am more of a nude/pink kind of girl but I have been loving this shade. It is more of a cherry/plum colour. Although it is coming into the spring/summer I am really digging the shade. The packaging is also very cute.

Rimmel Wake me up Concealer. I have had this for a while but only recently have I been really loving it. It's great for under the eye and like it says on the it's definitely makes you look awake. It really brightens your eyes. I love how it has sparkles in it which makes your face glow. Coming into the hotter days you really want to look fresh faced.

My Favourite album this month have been Sia's 1000 Forms Of Fear and Meghan Trainor's Title.
I have loved Sia since seeing Dance Moms Maddie Ziegler preform in Chandelier. Every song and music video she released I was obsessed with so I decided to purchase the album. The music is different to want I thought it would be like but I love it. A big changed from the usual chart music. My favourite song would have to be 'Fire Meet Gasoline'
On the contrary Meghan Trainor's album has a very popy, 1950s/1960s vibe which I love. It puts me in a great mood. It also showcases Meghan's vocals. My favourite track is 'Credit'. Both albums are on reply.

Once Upon a Time. Having watched this two years ago when it was on TV I was so upset when it got cut from UK channel.... but I was super happy that it was put up on Netflix. (thank you). I love how it has more characters involved and more fairytales and the story is getting better and better, I can't stop watching and would absolutely recommend it. Plus I wish that David was my Prince Charming. ;)

Leave in the comments what your April favourites have been?

One month later and we have a blog post, sorry about that, but here is goes...

Primers for me have always been a should I or shouldn't I buy one? I haven't seen the big fascinating on primers before but as I am broadening my make-up collection I decided to go for it.

My friend Keira and I went on a big splurge the other day and I was very happy to pick up the Smashbox try primer starter kit.

I had heard a lot of great things on Smashbox primers so I thought I would give it a go. .

First of all I love the size, trying a product for the first time can be scary, buying the biggest bottle can be pointless if you don't like the product.

The foundation primer, I apply this after I cleanse and moisturize my face.

This product isn't to heavy on my face and I love the feeling as I apply. I only need a pea size amount on my fingers to cover my whole face.

I do feel that my foundation has applied a lot better on to my face and that it looks a lot smoother. There is no smell which is a bonus, and with having fairly oily skin, I love that it is oil free.

The Under eye Primer, This has to be my favourite product out the whole kit, an eye primer has been something I have been looking for a while, I feel my eyes have been going wrinkly after I have worn my make for a long time.
Using this product I again only need a pea size amount and dab under my eyes, I apply a little before my concealer, it makes my concealer go on a lot easier and again smoother, then I apply it after powder to hold in place and with the touch of shimmer through it it works as a highlight.

I don't partially have dry under eyes, but I am excited to see how hydrating it can be on my eyes..

The last product in the set was The Lid Primer, I've never been a fan of eye primers but I am very happy with this one.

The first bonus of this product is the colour, I really love the fact that it's the same colour of foundation, I will normally forget to cover my eyes with foundation so this is just perfect. After using a lot of eye shadow I did feel my eye shadow stayed in place for a lot longer and it also made the colour stand out more. .

Overall I am very happy with these products and would most definitely consider buying the larger size.

Let me know if you know any other good primers???

So my whole, 'I'm starting to blog more' when down the toilet! A lot of hard things have happen since then, and are still going on but I will try the best that I can to blog.

I'm going to start with reviewing the Soap and Glory Peaches and Clean deep purifying cleaner.
About a year ago I had a lot of problems with my skin, I am not sure whether it was to do with Christmas and all the rich/unhealthy food I was overindulging on. What ever it was I had A LOT of break outs.
I did try a few different cleansers, although it never made it worse, it certainly never made it better. I then went into Boots looking for something else and seen that Soap and Glory had brought out a beauty collection, what took my attention where the OFF YOUR FACE 3-in-1 daily purifying cloths. I thought I would give it a go. I am so glad I did, they cleared my skin up pretty well and I was really happy. They became an essential when taking my make-up off, repurchasing them several times.

At the start of this year, once again my skin was bad, not as bad as last year but it was still bad. My work schedule has increased which meant I was and I am wearing make-up most days, I felt that the wipes were just not cutting it, I felt my skin felt very groggy afterwords.
I still was on the lookout for a Cleanser but I had just not found the right one, I decided to go into boots again and check out what they had.
I automatically went to the Soap and Glory section, and I was very delighted to see that they did have a cleaners. I was also very happy that, the cleanser and the wipes both contain Peach and Go juice extract. I knew the wipes work so seeing they included the same ingredients, made me purchase it right away!

Day One.
I applied on my face and rinsed of in the shower, I felt I had to put a tiny bit more on after cleaning and but this time I left it on for about 5 minutes and then washed it off, my face felt very clean! Very happy!!

Day Two
I bought a face cloth, applied, left on for about 10 mins and then washed of with face cloth! I felt using the face cloth really helped take it all off. Was very pleased with this!! All my make up came of and my face felt clean and smooth.

Day Three

I only had a little amount of make-up on today which made it super easy for me. I applied 1 and a half pumps to my face, and washed it off. Extremely happy.

I still use the wipes in the morning when I wake up, as part of my skincare routine and I also feel that this work well too.

Over all I am very happy with this product, very easy to apply and very good quality.

The only thing I have to say is the does not a have a distinguished smell, I was expecting it to have a strong peach smell.

I'm very excited to continue to use this product, I hope it does good things!!
I am however looking for some kind of moisturiser, I was thinking trying another S&G product?!
