Plink love


My current favourite lipstick for the moment is MAC's 'Plink!' lustre lipstick. It's a great colour for both day and night-time looks, so I only need to pop one lipstick in my bag, instead of tons of different shades.
It's effortless to wear as I can literally pop it on and I look complete. A definite current favourite in my eyes!

Spring love


For the past few weeks I've been loving the Garnier summer body moisturiser, which is also a gradual tanner. When we had a mini British heatwave a couple of weeks ago i didn't want to be looking like a ghost and reflecting the light so I began applying this moisturiser again. 


I got the larger of the bottles for £3.55 in Superdrug, which is great because my last bottle lasted me ages last year.


It's great for building a subtle gradual tan just like if you were to sunbathe but without the burning, which I always do no matter how often I reapply sun cream of a super high factor.


WIthout a doubt my favourite gradual tanner out of all I have tried, I just make sure I apply a touch of normal moisturiser to areas such as my knees and elbows first to avoid them going orange and everyone knowing that I'm wearing tan!

Boots Spree


On my last trip to boots I had to spend £30 for my extra points to be added, and it's not that hard for me to spend quickly in that place!


I got the Argan Oil hair treatment which is practically the same as Moroccan Oil but a lot lot cheaper. It gives my hair way more shine which I love and for £12.99 saves me a lot of money.


Natural collection always have 3 items for £5, so i nearly always end up getting the offer instead of just one, I have a weakness to special offers of any sort. I got two blushes that were recommended by another beauty blogger, and they really are worth it! They have pretty good colour pay off, especially for £1.99 each. I got rosy glow and sweet cheeks, and they both really warn up my complexion. And also a neutral gloss that goes with anything, I love it for when you're running out the door.


I love Photoready foundation by revlon, it's my go to foundation for any night out or even during the day sometimes. I didn't necessarily need it this time but i dont want to run out of it, so this is my back up for when i do, because you just never know when it's going to go!
I also picked up a revlon lipstick in 'Pink in the afternoon', i thought i might become a little more adventurous with spring/summer day time lipsticks, because normally i only wear glosses and tinted lip balms in the summer. Its a creamy texture and a subtle shade of bright pink, I can only try it and see.
Revlon just bitten lip products are great for long-lasting colour without it being a thicker lipstick, something you don't always want. I got this product in the colour twilight. Its a deeper shade of pink/cranberry which allows you to create a more statement lip without it feeling really heavy. It's a great daytime product. I know these came out ages ago but I've just never thought that they would be any good and just stayed away from them, but they've surprised me :)


Collection 2000 concealer in light and Rimmel Stay matte pressed powder in translucent are two staples in my everyday make-up routine. The concealer has such good coverage and easily hides the worst of spots and even under-eye dark circles, it's brilliant, especially for the price of just over £4!

So far I've got the finishing polish but I'm going to try and get my hands on all of them, It's definitely worth it when you can get four full sized products for just £43!! I know they've been selling really fast though, just like the Clinique giveaway with Cosmopolitan, but it's definitely worth a try!

79p lashes


I love these lashes I recently bought from my local Home Bargains, especially due to their 79p price tag! In boots I've seen them for a minimum of £5, so these are a bargain in comparison.
They come with red string on the ends of the lashes which is meant to make the application easier, however I find that they just get in the way, so I just remove them before I put them on which doesn't bother me.
This particular pair gives a subtler and voluminous effect to your lashes without appearing over the top. I really recommend them at such a bargain price!!

A wardrobe addition

Crop biker jacket: Miss Selfridge: £49

My new favourite piece of clothing in my wardrobe is this faux leather crop biker jacket from Miss Selfridge, a splurge I've allowed myself to invest in. I've been wanting something like this in my wardrobe for quite a while now as I've always though it is something that goes with practically everything, I'm so glad I bought it!



With it being a cropped jacket I feel it adds a slight edge to the jacket, so the rest of the outfit can be simpler, which is what I like, one statement piece.

The jacket also doesn't have that cheap look about it which other faux leather effect jackets do sometimes tend to have, which I really like.

The only thing I wish is that the price could have been slightly less, however as an investment piece I can wear for quite a while, I believe it to be money worth spent! I don't think I'll be taking this off for quite some time! Love It!!!
