Perfect Pom Pom Loafers..

Oh my goodness gracious me, I've been on the hunt for a pair of Pom Pom shoes for the longest time. I've wanted some for so long: partly because of how cute they are; partly because I want to want to feel like Tinker bell but who doesn't. I found the most amazing pair on my hunt, guess where from?! Primark oh my gosh Primark you've out done yourself with these. 

They're loafers so super comfortable and super wearable. I've wanted a pair since last year from Topshop but they were a lot more expensive than these which came in at just £10 bargin right? I'm absolutely in love with them they're also improved comfort which means I can wear them for work all day and they're stupidly comfortable. They're super duper cute if you're looking, get these. 

Lots of Love

Three of my Favourite Budget Eyeshadow Brands.

Okay so I don't know if I've said before I'm a sucker for a bargin, I love a good bargin and these products I'm going to talk about these fit into this category perfectly. So let's jump right in.

Sorry about th dusky products just shows they're used I guess!

Number 1, this brand have literally become probably one of my very favourite make up brands. It's Make up Revolution I have a whole bunch of these palletes. The one in the photo is the What You Waiting For pallete these come in at just £6 i know right bargin. Im a sucker for a pink eyeshadow look I think it looks girly and fun and this pallete come in handy for achieving this look there are 12 shimmer colours and 6 matte. This the same in the majority of their palletes apart from the Iconic pro palletes which are an incredible dupe for the naked palletes and they're just £4. The pigmentation, texture well everything about these palletes are incredible just get them don't even hesitate. (The sheer amount of times I said pallete in that is extremely alarming.)

 

Next up we have the Maybelline Colour Tattoos my go to colour is Pink Gold, like I said I love a pink eye make up look at this looks perfect on its own or works amazingly as a base. If I use of these underneath my eyeshadow it doesn't budge all day. On its own it's a subtle pink and looks super pretty is you're going for a less is more look, I also have on and on bronze and I'm going to invest in a few more they're incerdible.

Last and by no means least we have the Collection Eyes Uncovered. Oh my goodness gracious me these are good like really good like really really good I could go on. These come with 6 very wearable shades and I got mine for the bargin price of £2.99 yes that is all. I can't sing this products praises enygh and if I could I'd need a huge choir and hours. I have two of these I have the Nude Bronze which is the one photographed this is perfect for a gold summery eye. It also has a white so perfect for inner corners of the eye. I also have the Little Mix limited edition one which has a wider variety of colours and I love them both so so much. They would be your perfect travel companion as they are small light weight and very pigmented. One downside is the magnetic packaging but that is easy enough to deal with. All in all just pick one of these little beauties up they're honestly an amazing bargin product. 

Let me know your favourite products and I'll look into getting them.

Flower (crown) power 🌸

So it's wardrobe Wednesday and today I'm going to talk about FLOWER CROWNS! I have a huge love for flower crowns and excuse to make me feel like a disney princess (please don't tell me this is just me). I have so many but I'm going to tell you about a few of my favourites. 

First up my very very very favourite is from Claire's which usually I don't go in as I feel like it's quite a young shop but oh my golly gosh I love this flower crown. 

Can we just talk about this a second I'm more of headband flower crown wearer because as you can see I have a fringe so they sit weird on me. That was slightly of tangent but this crown is just beautiful it should of been £14 which for me was just super expensive but I got it for £5 amazing right?! The colours are very autumnal which for me makes it better as most people just get the flower crowns out for summer but the colour of this gives me an excuse to wear it all year round. To put it bluntly I love it a lot, a lot, a lot a lot. Look at me being all Parent Trap quotey. Seriously though is that not such a classic film. 

Next up we have a primark beauty, I love this so much. It's so so cute it's pink and white! I love pink a lot this one was calling out to me so I just got it, it cost £4 which I think is a bargain if I'm honest it's so beautiful. 

I actually got another from primark for £2 it was also on sale I just love it as well. I think we can take that I love my flower crowns everyone I've mentioned I've said I loved. But this is a white and baby pink so it's super wearable, I wear it all the time. 

Lastly we've got one I picked up from the Katy Perry range at Claire's it was on sale in the 5 for £5 offer they do sometimes so I was like okay it looks like little animal ears and is so adorable I could burst from cuteness it's a bright blue and just cute as a button. 

I really do love my flower crowns I really want a mint green one if you know where I can get one let me know! 

Lots of love

My Top Five Favourite Lip Products.

It's Make up Monday here we go. So I'm going to tell you guys about my five very favourite lip products. These products are my go to like what I think are the greatest products.

 Let's start with this little beauty, okay this is one of a collection because I really love all the colours but I tend to go for this one the most it's the Revlon lip butters. I know everyone swears by these as so I, the colour I go for most is Tutti Fruti in summer this is my go to bold lip. It's a gorgeous orange which I love in summer time as it just brightens up any outfit. The texture of these is too perfect. They're so moisturising and so pigmented. I could sing their praises all day but I won't I'll move on. 

Next up we have, what has been my handbag lipstick since the day I bought it. It's the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in number 38. This is the perfect pink nude,it's such a day to night colour. It's long lasting and just perfection if you're on the look out for a more pink toned nude this is it! Please excuse mine I accidentally squashed it in the lid (please feel my pain.)

Next up we have another Nude. It's the Soap and Glory sexy mother pucker gloss stick in Nudist. I love this product, truth be told I've neglected it a little bit. This is more like a coloured gloss do it's not heavily pigmented but it leaves your lips looking lovely. It's also very moisturising. 

Next up we have the easiest product ever to apply. I love these I have two of these products but I need more, main word there being NEED! It's the Maybelline Colour Drama range. My favourite is minimalist it's a really muted pink with a lot of shimmer. These are heaven sent they're long lasting highly pigmented and all around just great. If you don't have one get one they're super duper great. 

Lastly is one I won't talk about much because it was in one of my last make up Monday's it's the Lush Lipsticks in Affectionate unfortunately at the moment the lipsticks are only available in Oxford Street, I need more of these lipsticks I wear it for work where I do a lot of talking it doesn't need topping up. It's a perfect colour, such a pretty pretty pink it's girly and just super sweet. 

They are my holy grail lip products I love each and everyone one of them. Let me know if there's any products you think I should try? 

Lots of love

My Favourite Lush Oxford Street Shower Products

I've got a few Oxford street favourites that I want to talk about. Now I love lush products just love them. I've already done a post about my favourite bath bomb Frozen that is truly a thing of beauty. Now I'm going to talk about my favourite shower products.

My favourite lush product will always be snow fairy, seriously I have to buy about 2 litres to keep me going for the year. It's the most incredible smell ever if you love candyfloss get it. I'm a sucker for a sweet smell.

For that reason I could not wait to try the Comforter Shower Creme, if you love the smell of the bubble bar you'll love this. I would say that this is my second favourite lush smell but it's a very close second. The shower Creme feels super moisturising and is bright pink! It's the best thing since sliced bread you leave the shower feeling so comforted and happy the smell is so uplifting. The bubble bar feels like a hug in the water and so does this. It's also got a little bit if sparkle in there which is a bonus for me. Also it's available all year round at Oxford Street BONUS! 

 Next we have Yuzu and Cocoa shower Creme, oh this. This smells like holidays and it's bright yellow, so you may resemble a Simpson for a bit whilst showering you do actually, you do look like a Simpson.  But like the comforter it's super moisturising and perfect for this warm summer time as you feel so refreshed coming out of the shower. I bought my bottle from the Lush Kitchen but I need more in my life and I need it soon. 

Whilst placing my kitchen order I also ordered the Refresher Shower Jelly. I adore the shower jellys you can use them for your hair as they're seaweed based so incredible for eczema which I do suffer from as well quite badly on my hands. You can also freeze them so they're cool again in this warm weather and they're amazing for sunburn! Can you see why I love them so much, anyway this one smells like its name sake sweet it's a very uplifting morning sent it'll leave you ready to seize the day. It's a perfect morning pick me up. I love it! Both products are also all year round at Oxford Street again what a bonus. 

Let me know your favourite lush products

When Life Gives You Lemons Wear Them.

I've bought a lot, I've bought a lot of stuff and it was all YELLOW. (Just my little nod to a fantastic Coldplay song)  In my last few buying experiences and truthfully I don't know why. As most of you will probably know I'm extremely fair and very dark haired naturally so a lot of pale people avoid yellow like the plague, but not me. But everything was just screaming 'YELLOW is it me you're looking for.' No I'm going to stop with the frankly terrible song jokes. Leanne just stop. 

It started with my yellow backpack granted I look slightly like Dora the Explorer with my big backpack on (I know hers is purple). But this bag had been my staple bag since I've had it. It's so spacious, its got a front pocket which I just love because I can keep my lip products in there and they're so easy to access. New Look you did a good job on this bag. 

Next I bought the Lemon printed bikini. How I love this bikini guys. If you've been reading my blog from the beginning first of all thank you but secondly you will know I love food printed clothes a whole bunch. When I saw this I just had to get it , it's from primark and cost me around £10 which isn't bad at all. The bottoms are 50's pinup style which for me was even better being the vintage fashion junkie that I am. It also has bows on. So all in all of there was Leanne's dream bikini it would be this one, primark you did a very very good thing bringing this bikini out. 

Sticking to the Lemon theme, again if you've been here from the start you'll know my love of quirky clutches. It's a lot I have a very wide selection, but not many fruit based ones, which really is not an excuse to buy one I know. But when I went into Matalan earlier this week and saw this little slice of heaven. (Haha slice I can't believe I've just made myself laugh with that. ) I just had to get it, it was down to £4 which compared to the New Look ones is a complete bargain and I just know it'll be a summer outfit staple. 

 

Next also from Matalan in the sale. ( if you're from the UK get yourself to the Matalan sale everything is just incrediblely cheap.) I got the most adorable socks, now from the name collars and frills it pretty much signifies my love of both of those things, so when I saw yellow frilly socks for 75p well they just had to be mine. They are so adorable and paired with my silver jelly shoes it will just be a cuteness overload. So my Matalan trip was extremely successful. 

Last but by no mines least, is what is probably my favourite yellow thing I own. Well it's yellow and white but still, my dress. This dress was literally just love at first sight. It was £15 from primark which for primark is slightly expensive but I don't even care. Whenever I have it on people say I look like Belle which in my eyes is the biggest compliment ever in the world. But it's just so summery, sweet and scrumptious. Since I've bought I've worn it pretty much once a week it's just so cute and girly. In other words I just love it a lot.

  I think yellow is going to be colour of the summer as possiblely even the winter. Let me know what your summer colour is . 

Lots of love

Summer Saviours.

Okay so as I'm writing this it's raining, but here in England we've had a huge heat wave so I'm going to give you a quick run down of my five summer saviours. 

Number one has to be the Lush Million Dollar moisturiser, this stuff is heaven sent if you are like me and you have to just take half a step out of the door and you burn this will be your saviour. It has the lush feeling younger pigmint in the product do your skin looks glowing no need for heavy make up, it has SPF 30 so works as your sun tan lotion on your face, has the most amazing honey and toffee smell to the product and lastly it's an amazing moisteriser to my skin has been raidient since using this product. I'll defiantly repurchase this as I'm running out, I might 2 so I never run out.

 Next up we have the Maybelline Lash Sensational, oh my good golly gosh this mascara. So a few posts ago I said I love Roller Lash and yes I still do but I think this little beauty has piped it to the post as my favourite and it comes in at half the price, BONUS. I get so many compliments on my eyelashes when I wear this product. The wand is also the perfect shape for rounded eyes, DOUBLE BONUS. It stays put all day so no flakey bits down your face. Just get it is all I can say. 

Next lips, these two kind of come as a pair but I'll take about each separately so I've fallen head over heels for the Bourjois   Rouge Editions. My favourite shade is 07 which is supposed to be a nude but because of my pale pastyness it's more reddy,pinky and slightly nude I do love the colour anyway but the thing I love the most is the staying power they are a liquid lipstick that ends up very matte. They almost leave a stain on the lip and in summer are super perfect because you don't need constant top ups. 

But because of there staying power they sometimes like to stay put so my other best friend is the Lush lipscrub in Bubblegum. This smells like snow fairy which with the comforter would rank as my favourite scents ever. It tastes amazing sometimes I find myself eating it once I've used it, it really does taste that good. You simply rub it on your lips and lick it off job done. 

Lastly, now I'm a girl with a thick full fringe. Hands up fringe barers if you get gappy fringe in the heat. My hand is well and truly up, however I've found the solution the Colab dry shampoo is just incredible. I like the New York scent best as I'm a sucker for a fruity smell however they're all lovely smelling. They're a god send for hot days the best thing about them too is you can buy minis. YES MINIS. I'm a fan of mini beauty products there's just something so thrilling with a travel sized product, so I've also got a little bottle in my bag for when I'm on the go bye bye gappy fringe.

Let me know if you have a holy grail summer product you think I should try.

Sparkley shoes.

Okay guys, I'm pretty sure I'm slightly magpie because if I see something shiny it has to be mine. Now if you've read my blog for a while you will also know I'm a shoe obsessive. I just really like shoes, ALOT. In March time I spotted what can only be described as my ideal shoes on Asos, the silver shooting star heels. They had them in mint too and I adore mint but the silver were just something else and I kept putting them in my basket and then seeing the price and was like you're so pretty but you're also £40 which I know isn't that steep but the amount of shoes I own I was doubting how much id wear them. This is turning into some dramatic story! But then, dun dun dun when I went to purchase them they were out of stock. ( I was so close to tears.) But in some freak twist of fate the day I got my university results they had one pair left and THEY WERE MY SIZE. So I turned into a Finding Nemo seagull and was like mine,mine,mine. As it was my results day I got them as a treat for my self for getting a 2:1. 

Just look at them though, they're are a thing of pure beauty. I couldn't really leave them could.

Life with a Sprinkle of Glitter.

Okay so at 21 I am probably one of the Louise's older Sprinklearinos but nevertheless, I am indeed a subscriber to the very lovely lady and if you're no you should be. Louise is the most incredible lady who teaches girls of all ages how to be body confident and feel great about themselves and that's me included. So when I heard Louise was releasing a book I pre-ordered it straight away. (Amazon is heaven sent for that sort of thing.) Today the book arrived after a few emails telling me different days it came and I could not have been more excited. I'm only about 40 pages in so far but everyone needs to buy this book it is in a word, GLOURIOUS. First of all she talks about walking round a vintage shop which if you know me is like my dream pastime. Secondly, the whole layout of the book is just stunning from the colour schemes to the illustrations it's perfection. Lastly, the way the book is written is just like having a chat with an older sibling or a best friend. (Seriously am I the only person who wants to be Louise's friend.) But don't hesitate to get this book it's amazing if you're younger or older it's just great.

Wardrobe Wednesday-My Dream Skirt.

So I've been naughty again, but we're back now. So one of my very first posts was about my favourite shop. Handmade by Hollycrow, it is literally the shop of dreams. Honestly if you're anything like me you will feel like you've won a golden ticket. Holly last week relocated to a new shop which is much bigger, and loving her clothes as much as I do I took a little trip down. It's safe to say I wasn't disappointed. Now I've been wanting the Cath Kidston cloud print dress from the second I laid eyes on it. But when I went into Hollys new shop and saw this, this over took that cloud print and took it too a whole new level. 

How adorable is this skirt. I paid £40 for this beauty. But there's only a few out there and even though it's rain printed and here in the UK we are in the middle of a heatwave it's still super summery. It's safe to say I love it a lot. 

Lots of love
