Instagram Look Back #2

As you can tell from the title, this isn't my first blog post from this series!
However it has been at least a YEAR since my first one. Seriously where does time go?!

So here is the second part of my Instagram Look Back series.

If you don't already follow me on Instagram you can by clicking here!

So lets begin.
We're going to start with the top left image, which is a photo of my nails. Now you're probably just thinking 'yeah they're nails & what'. This is the way I had my nails done for my brother's wedding! So they do have some significance really. I am very lucky & have really nice natural nails, so I just had a gel polish put on. I did love to way they looked though!

This second photo is from the day we picked Ed up! He was just gone 8 weeks old when we got him. Look how small & weird he looks! He has grown up so much & has proper pug features now. He looked a like an alien back then (haha, bless him).

This top right image is of a shit ton of Candy Kitten sweets & no, I haven't selected this images because I love sweets! Haha!
It's actually because I have recently been selected to be one of their brand ambassadors, as part of their #sweetsquad. However they are amazing gluten free sweets. Wild Strawberry is my favourite flavour ;)

This fourth photo is one of my favourite photos EVER!
It's a photograph of me & Liam at the Colosseum in Rome. We'd been together only a few months when we went on this trip & it was perfect. I had the best time, with the best company.

This image is just of some lip products, however I chose this one because it really represents the reason I started this blog in the first place, my love of beauty products etc. I love all of these lip products & how this image came out in the end.

This last photo is from when I went to Scotland earlier in the year. I went to go stay with my friends up there. Firstly, I always love seeing my Scottish friends they're lovely, but we also did some really awesome things whilst I was there. We spent a day in Edinburgh, which is where this photo is from. It's actually from the illusion museum.

I love doing this series, because it's a great little memory recap for me.
Hopefully we can make these a more regular thing, maybe every 6 months?!

Bridesmaid Make Up Look

I recently had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid for my brother's wedding.
So I thought it would be good to share my make up look with you guys.

Below is a photo of my make up on the day. I went with a warm neutral eye look & a mauve nude lip colour.


The hairstyle for the day was an updo, so I wanted to focus a little bit more on contouring & highlighting to slim my face.

I would advise having a few practice runs before the day if you're doing your own make up. I did mine a few times, one being two days before. I would also advise using products you know work for you & wear well.

It is also one of those days where I would do some extra steps in my make up routine. Some of these things are concealing round my eyebrows & lips to tidy them up. I also used a setting spray before application as well as after.

Check out the tutorial here:

let's Get Festive!

Let's get festive!
Here is my favourite Christmassy eye look for this year.

This is glam enough for any Christmas party or night out but equally as appropriate for Christmas dinner (maybe drop the eyeliner & go for a neutral lip).


My inspiration for this look what a gold/ green shade in my MAC pre-made warm tones eyeshadow palette. The shade is called Unwind. I thought combined with a red lip it would make for a very festive make up look!

Nude Lip Lovin

I think this is something you learn as your experience make up, but everyone has their favourite type of 'nude' lip colour.
As for me it has to be a pink/ mauve nude!

Below are some of my favourite lip products in my favourite nude colour.


Left to right:

Rimmel Kate Moss Nude Lipstick in 45.
Rimmel Kate Moss Nude Lipstick in 42.
These lipsticks are great, especially for the drugstore! They are really moisturising & comfortable to wear. The smell is little weird but you get that quite a bit with drugstore lipsticks so I think it can be forgiven as these two colours are just beautiful nudes.

Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Lacquer in Charm Offensive.
I'm not a big lip lacquer fan but this one by Soap & Glory is actually quite nice as it isn't a matte finish. This makes it really moisturising and pretty long wearing (as it doesn't dry & crack). It also smells amazing, like ice cream.

MAC Lipstick in Twig.
This one is a little more on the brown side compared to the rest however I still love it. I feel like this is a great nude shade by MAC that isn't talked about enough! If you can't get hold of whirl, give this a try. It's a little more pink but that probably makes it look a little less aging.

Fleur De Force Lip Gloss in 020 Written in the Stars.
This is very new to my collection as it has not long been launched but it has already made it into my favourite list! Firstly, it's about time someone did a gloss instead of a lip lacquer (I'm totally over lip lacquers, sorry), as they're soooo much more wearable. This is honestly going to be a handbag staple of mine as it's buildable enough to wear on its own or to layer on top of another lip product.

Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in Fauxmance.
Again I love a good lipgloss to finish off a lip look & these Benefit ones are perfect. They're so comfortable to wear and smell delicious! They aren't quite as pigmented as the Fleur ones though, so are better to layer over other lip products.

MAC Lip Liner in Dervish.
This is my go to lip liner! It's the base I use for all of my nude lip looks. I love this on it's own & combined with other products. Sometimes I use a lipstick or simply just a gloss like the Benefit Ultra Plush or the Fleur De Force.

What's your favourite type of nude?
If your favourites are similar to mine, let me know some mauve nude must haves of your own!

Halloween is coming!

It's that time of year again where the creepy/ scary & gross tutorials hit youtube.
And I have to say.. I love it!

So I thought I'd channel my Halloween character from last year & show you guys how I created this make up.


The classic horror character I'm talking about is Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street.
Well the costume is in fact 'Miss Freddy', but I didn't want to just go with a jumper dress & some cute accessories.
What's Halloween without a little horror!

This tutorial is quick special effects free tutorial. Anyone with the most basic of make up kits can do this look!

Instagram Look Back #1

I thought it would be interesting to have a little look back at some of my recent Instagram photos & have a recap!

If you don't already follow me on Instagram you can by clicking here!

So we'll start with the top left.
This is the most recent photo, which shows the results of my favourite tanning product by Sun Goddess! I love this fake tan & I'm not really one for fake tanning, so that's saying something!

The second photo is of some band merch. My brother's band to be precise! The band is Everybody Looks Famous, you can check them out here. Even if you just like merch, it's always good to help out unsigned bands.

The photo on the top right is of me riding my horse.
I've being horse riding since the age of 7 & have owned my horse for 8 years. There is nothing more perfect to me than this right here! Horse riding is my little escape & I love it!

The photo on the bottom left is from a meal I had recently.
The restaurant is in The Mailbox Birmingham & is called Gas Street Social. It's quite a casual setting but equally quite fancy. I love the setting & the food. This photo is from the first time me & Reece (my partner) went but we have been back since.

The next photo is off a lovely golden bottle of prosecco & glasses. These were a birthday present for my 21st birthday last year. I included this photo as it was a great time & this was a lovely gift.

The last photo is of my camera (well one of them), to be exact my D7100. I love this camera, it's literally bae (sorry). I use this camera for photoshoots & for filming all of my youtube videos. It's also what I use to take my blog photos. It's just such an important 'tool' to me. I couldn't live without it!

Instalment number two of my OOTDs is here!
Firstly I'd like to apologise for the crap photos, they're screen grabs from the video. As I forgot to take proper photos :(

Anyway, so this ootd is a summer nautical theme which can easily be turned from day to night!


What I'm wearing:

Now here's the 'day to night' part.. just change up the shoes!

To stick with the nautical theme I thought I'd put on these espadrille wedges from Topshop!
