What's in my bag?

Hey :)

So today I thought I'd do the 'What's in my bag?' tag. 


 This is my bag. As you can probably tell it's from Cath Kidston and I got it for my 16th birthday last year so I don't know the cost - sorry! It is a really nice shoulder bag which is strong and sturdy - it has lasted for 9 months so far and is still going strong! It isn't a huge bag which is a good thing in my view as it means you can only fit essentials in so aren't carrying around useless rubbish. 
I have also just realised that there is a lot of Cath Kidston stuff in the post due to my bed covers!


 This is my purse and I can never leave the house without it! It is from Radley (as you can probably tell) but I did get it for my birthday about 4/5 years ago so it's unlikely you can still buy it. This purse is really great quality as it is leather. It is also a really great size as it holds all my money and cards. 


The next thing in my bag is my make up bag. For some reason my picture isn't uploading properly so here it is on the website (LINK) (Cath Kidston again I'm afraid!). Anyway, in my make up bag I have a hand cream which is essential in the winter months for sure! I also have a lip balm, gloss and mascara. I don't wear heaps of make up hence the reason for not very much! I will also carry some spot cream with me if I have a sudden breakout and will reapply it every couple of hours. 


The last thing on my list is my phone. I have the iPhone 4 and I can't leave the house without it! I carry it and my headphones in a rubber purse (which matches my phone case) from Blott to stop it getting scratched and also to make it easier to fine haha! 

If you have done this tag before please let me know in the comments as I would love to read it!

REVIEW - No7 Stay Precise Felt Tip Eyeliner

Hey :)

So this is my first review of a make up product! I am going to talk about the No7 Stay Precise Felt Tip Eyeliner. 
 I bought it in Boots for £8.00 (LINK) and I thought it was a pretty good price. 

This was my first felt tip eyeliner I tried and I decided to go for a felt tip rather than liquid purely because it is easier to apply, especially when getting ready for school. I have this in the colour brown/black. I chose this shade due to my blonde hair, fair skin and blue eyes as I didn't want anything too sharp and I wanted a natural look. 

When applying, it doesn't come onto your skin that well with the very tip so I found myself using the edge of it. This isn't too much of a problem unless you want a really thin line. 



When wearing eye shadow with this, I found that it doesn't show up very well and in this case I would prefer to have a black rather than the brown/black. 

Overall, I think I would rate this product 7/10 as it acts as a good eyeliner and gives a natural look but doesn't apply using the tip which I wanted. I have bought a different felt tip eyeliner to replace this however will carry on using it if I need a natural look. 

Have any of you bought this? What do you think of it?

Beauty Haul #1

Hey :)

So yesterday I went shopping as I needed to replace a few of my current beauty products and also venture out into different brands! 

The first thing I bought was the Amie face wash and cleansing wipes. I have used the face wash for a couple of months now (I will do a review soon) and I love it! It really has helped clear up my spots and make them appear less angry. After this good impression, I decided to give the face wipes a go as well. 


The next thing I bought was the Supercat eyeliner pen from Soap&Glory. I bought this because I have previously been using the No7 eyeliner pen but haven't been hugely impressed by it so wanted to try something different and this caught my eye (pun not intended) - especially since everyone has been raving about this brand. 


I bought two nail polishes - one from Miss Sporty and one from the Boots Natural Collection. I always route for buying Barry M because I know it's good quality for a cheap price, however, this time I decided to give these a go. 


The last thing I bought was the Miss Sporty Dr Balm colour Glam Kiss. I have really pigmented lips already so don't really need anything to give my lips any colour. This Dr Balm is really good at moisturising my lips and adds a nice glossy finish.  


Have any of you guys used any of these? What do you think of them?

Holiday OOTD

Hey :) 

Whilst I was away, I took (not very good) photos of my favourite outfits that I wore for the day/evening. I have chosen my favourite three to share :)



I wore this on the first evening and it was the first time wearing these things together. The pink shorts added a bit of colour and the necklace completed the outfit by making the top look less plain. 
Top - Hollister
Shorts - Hollister
Necklace - Fat Face
Bangles - Tesco, F&F ( I think)


This dress is one that I mentioned in one of my first blog posts (HERE) and is one of my favourite dresses so I just HAD to take it with me! 
Dress - TopShop
Bracelet - Tesco, F&F
Nail Polish - Barry M Gelly (Colour Grapefuit)


This is the last outfit and I wore it on the last night out. I bought this crop top a while ago, and it also in my other blog post (HERE), but hadn't really had a chance to wear it. I thought the pink shorts went well with it and made the outfit a bit more exciting. 
Top - New Look
Shorts - Hollister
Necklace - Fat Face

I apologise for the not-so-great photos, my non-existent tan (despite being in a boiling hot country) and not wearing a huge variety of different things!

Thanks for reading :)
