Happy Father Day all Fathers out there!! Big love to my dad!!! Have a blast!!!

Hey m'lovelies. How has everyone been? Thank you to anyone who donated to Cancer Research, We smashed our target as well as our time for the Race For Life, Well done if you participated.
 Now that the Race is over and done with it is all steam ahead for my summer holidays. The next few weeks will be a lot about my hols so prepare yourself ;)

One thing that is essential for me during the summer is FAKE TAN. I have super fair skin and rarely tan. I thought I would share what I use to help get the perfect tanned look. 

I was never a big lipstick fan, I was always a lipgloss kinda girl. I think it is due to the fact I have pretty small lips and since the whole 'Kylie Jenner Lip Craze' took of it became more difficult to feel comfortable with small lips. Yes I played into the media/society hands.
But I guess now I am not really bothered and I have to embrace my small lips.  *laughing emoji*. I have built up a collection of lipsticks/lipgloss so here is my Top Five.

From Top- Bottom: Miley Cyrus Viva Glam, Tanya Burr 'Aurora', Topshop 'Chuck', Topshop 'Innocent', Bobbi Brown Pale Petal

Viva Glam

MAC Miley Cyrus Viva Glam. When Miley released her Viva glam line at Mac, I had to buy.I purchased both the lipstick and lipglass. I have to be in the right mood for the lipsick which is why the Lipglass is Number 1. It is a super fun colour yet it is not too bright. I do like natural shades but this is perfect to throw on, on a great day. It has a high shine and as it is quite sticky it stays on for a long time. I really need to pick up more Mac Lipglass.

Aurora

Tanya Burr Aurora. The name in its self so so pretty. I purchased this when her line came out last year. It is a coral pink colour with sparkles. It is not to sticky on my lips but it last a long time. It gives a good shine, I wear it when I go out but I can also wear it everyday. It is super pretty colour, not to mention it smells yummy.   I am super proud of Tanya.



Topshop 'Chuck'. I mention this in my April Favourites. I really love this shade. It isn't particularly a shade I would always go for but I am branching out. I would say this is a perfect shade for going out at night, I think it is as close as I am going to get to wearing Red. I would highly recommend.


Topshop' Innocent   '. Is the newest shade I have bought. But it is becoming one of my favourites so I have to mention it. I think this shade is a perfect shade for the summer. It is a super cute pink, it is quite bright yet still a neutral colour.  I extremely love how creamy this is. I would definitely think that Topshop is make-up is somewhat underrated.


Bobbi Brown 'Pale Petal.' Last but certainly not least. This has to be my all time favourite lipstick. My sister bought it for me a few Christmases ago and as you can see I am using it to death. It is really easy incorporating it in any make-up look. It is however a perfect cute pink/nude for everyday. It is a very subtle colour which I love. I will 100% be repurchasing when it is done.

I know  that this is a slightly different post but I want to help as much as  possible as it has affected me greatly. We can find a cure!! 

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.    

Hey guys, so I thought I would do I quick haul post. I went on a shopping spree yesterday and got quite a lot of beauty items but I also went into Topshop. I am going to America in the summer so I thought I would pop in to see what they had. I pick up a few things.

As it is going to be super hot over there I was looking for something that would be very cool to wear. I have never really been one to wear crop tops but I thought I would step outside my comfort zone.


The first one as you can see is very plain. It is just a simple top to wear with high waisted shorts or trousers. I am planning to wear it when I am on the plane, I think it would be super comfortable and it will keep me cool. It was £6 and it does come it different colours.


The second one was love at first sight. I love the Aztec pattern and the embroidery. It has been described as 'Very you'. I also love the lace detail round the hem of the top. The would be perfect for an everyday outfit that can be transition into an evening outfit. Again this would be perfect for the hot weather. This was £22.


The last item I picked up is probably my favourite. I have been looking for a pair of sandals for ever. I wanted a pair that looked nice but also would feel comfy on my feet. These were perfect. They are super comfy. The leather straps makes them fit nicely on my feet. These were £28 and I am super excited about these.

Over the next few weeks I will hopefully be uploading more fashion and holiday posts. Like I said I am away in July and I am buying items as I go.
 I do however have a few hauls of the other items that I purchased from yesterday, so keep an eye out.

The bath bomb in the set was Shoot For the Stars, This is again one of my favourite. Drop this in the bath and it creates a space like scene in the tub. Very pretty colour. The product was very relaxing and very moisturising. It did leave me with a lovely purple bath.


I was delighted to see Candy Mountain. I had always wanted to try it but not realising it was only out at holiday time i never picked it up. I love it. It smells a lot like Snow Fairy, very sweet, like candy floss. which is a win for me.  It created a lot of bubbles and a sweet smell. It was nice to relax with. I definitely need to stock up on  this at  Christmas so I can use them all year round.

I would say I have a pretty simple skincare routine! I know that I should take more time with my skin as it is super important. I am getting more into the habit now so I thought I would share. 

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. 

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!
