Nivea Express Hydration Primer

The dreaded day my Origins GinZing moisturizer ran out has finally come round and since I'm not working I needed to find a cheaper alternative. I've seen so many reviews before about this raving about how good it was so since it was half price in Tesco there was no harm giving it a go. 

The first thing you notice about this primer is it's fresh scent that isn't too overpowering which is what you want when applying something to your face. When applying this primer it's not thick and tacky on your face it's the complete opposite being lightweight and the smallest amount goes a long way. For a primer you want something that absorbs to the skin quickly and this does just that after leaving it around 20 seconds its fully absorbed ready for the foundation layer to be applied. I used this before going on a night out and after wearing my makeup for around 11 hours in a sweaty environment my makeup was more or less in tact.

If you're looking for a drugstore primer to try out this is definitely one to have a try of.

Social Media

Quick update for you all. 

Being a journalism student I am on social media sites all the time though recently whenever I'm off uni I end up sitting on the sofa not moving because I am checking over my apps all the time. Lazy I know don't judge.

I have recently been loving polyvore and becoming slightly obsessed with it mainly because I am styling outfits I can't afford. Follow my Polyvore here.

Victoria's Secret Fragrance Mist

In March I visited New York as part of my 18th birthday present and you can't visit America without going to a Victoria Secret shop or 'store'. I went to the Victoria Secret near to Macy's in New York and spent hours in there choosing which body mist I liked as there are loads to choose from and tones of perfumes as well, every girls dream. 

Love Spell

This mist is 'Cherry Blossom and Peach' which means that this is a really fruity and sweet smelling spray which I love. Whenever I choose a perfume or spray I always choose the sweeter smells as I think they smell summery and feminine  The spray is infused with Aloe Vera to condition the skin and Chamomile to calm. 

Bombshell

When I was in Victoria's Secret there were lots of perfumes to choose from though as I still have a lot of bottles of perfumes at home that I still hadn't used I didn't really want to come back with yet another bottle though I did find the perfume Bombshell to be really nice and was so tempted to buy myself it. Though when looking around near the tills there were some smaller plastic bottles of the perfume which were on offer for $10 which meant I had to buy it. I love how this is a plastic bottle because it means I can just take it to college, to the gym or anywhere in my bag and not have to worry about it being smashed which is what would have happened if I had bought the bottled version for twice the price. This is spray is a blend of purple passion fruit, Shangri-la yellow peony and vanilla orchid and smells amazing. 

Luminous Touch

This spray is quite a sweet smell it's ' White Peach and Sandalwood'. I chose this one as out of the others in the shop the smell wasn't too over powering and it was part of the radience collection. This is also infused with Aloe Vera and Chamomile which I think is a nice added extra to a Spray/Mist.


If you live in the UK there are only selected Victoria's Secret shops located to find out where your nearest is opening check HERE.

M.A.C Full Lash Curler

I was always put off using eyelash curlers but after a while I became fed up with my eyelashes looking non existent. When I was in the M.A.C shop buying my eye shadow palette and eye shadow brush it only made sense to by an eyelash curler fitting in with the eye product theme. The eyelash curler comes with an extra rubber pad that protects your eyelashes. The curler fits the whole of my lashes and allows me to make my dull straight lashes look naturally curled. I was a bit wary about using these as I was worried that I would pull out some of my eyelashes but not once has this happened and the rubber padding isn't hard on the lashes. 

The first time I used these I was so confused about what I was doing but now I can use these without even having to look in the mirror. Once the eyelash curler is in place around three to four long squeezes gives the natural curl look where I can then apply mascara. I use a lash curling mascara to define the curl look. Throughout the day my eyelashes do loose the curled look a bit though I always carry it round with me as it fits into my bag and top up the curl quickly. 

A little bit of a steep price for a lash curler (£16.00) but the product is worth the price. A spare rubber pad comes with the curler so don't loose it as refills aren't sold.

Midi Rings

 *I know these are worn the wrong way round but I prefer them this way*

Triangle Midi Ring - River Island 

2 Set Midi Ring - River Island (HERE)

I'm not one to wear rings because they tend to annoy me or fall off though I can't resist a midi ring. I picked up these midi rings (or finger top rings as it says) the other day when I went into town. Now I know I shouldn't be buying things being on a student budget and that but they were £2 each which to me is a bargain for jewellery. The ones pictured above are from River Island though you can pretty much go into any clothing or jewellery shop and find midi rings for quite a cheap price. 

If you've just painted your nails and want to draw attention to them midi rings do just that as they sit further up the finger and draw attention to your nails. Midi rings also work well if you're wearing lots of other rings on your fingers as they create a balance on  your hands. 

Would you wear a midi ring or already got some, let me know?

Monthly Favourites | February 2014

It's finally the start of March which means it's goodbye to February and a few days till my 19th birthday. I haven't done a post about my monthly favourites of the past month but I think it's what my blog needs. Here are some of the things that I've been using a lot and obsessing over in February. 

I have suddenly got a slight obsession with elephants and when I saw these pajamas in Primark they just had to be bought. They are so comfy to wear in bed and for just lounging around the flat which is what I tend to be doing most days. I've seen a lot of pj bottoms this style in Primark with the elasticated cuff at the bottom and personally I think they're great.

These are my Topshop Agra Boots and I must say they are never off my feet. These are perfect for wearing in the day and are great for going out when I can't be dealing with heels. They seem to match everything I have in my wardrobe, even a pair of joggers go well with these. I think I may have to do a post where I style outfits with these very soon. 

The bad thing about where I live is that I have to leave the flat just to wash my clothes and on the days where my skin doesn't want to cooperate this Rimmel Stay Matte foundation is perfect. It's none cakey and it's quick and easy to apply using your fingertips. It's going in my favourites for the month as I don't know how I would have coped without it when my L'Oreal foundation ran out and it's super handy to have in my makeup box. 

I was given this Artdeco eye shadow palette for christmas and this month I haven't gone a day without using it. It lasts all day and the colours are perfect. My step mum bought me this and I don't know what I ever did without it. 

After christmas I seem to have been going out a lot and this Garnier Summer Body Mouisturzing lotion has allowed me to walk around with my legs out without my pale legs showing. 

Malteser Bunnies are the one. I don't think I've been on a food shop and not come back with three of them. I couldn't resist the other day and bought the box of five and it's safe to say that my beach body will have to wait until these are discontinued after Easter. 

My MAC studio fix fluid has ran out (shedding a tear) and now I don't know what to do. It's going in my february favourites as I used up the last of it all throughout the month. Not to worry though my mum has been informed and its on the birthday list. If your looking for a MAC foundation to try I would recommend giving this one a go but do go and get your colour matched before purchasing it. 

I hope you like this post don't know whether it's as good as I hoped but I might start doing this as a monthly thing.
