February GlossyBox

Hi peeps!

If you haven't heard of GlossyBox, it's a monthly subscription service for £10 a month (excl. P&P) where you are sent a box of 5 deluxe beauty samples (some full size, some miniatures). The box is an exciting way to try out new products, from more well known brands or from brands you may not have heard of before! All together, the products are worth well over £10, so it is definitely worth ze money.

Therefore I thought I'd share my box with you all, as it might be something you're interested in! Part of my Xmas pressie this year was a 3 month subscription, so sadly this was my last box :(

Each months box is themed, for example Jan was the 'Detox Box' and Feb is the 'Valentines Box' (much excitement)

 Dun Dun DUUUN... I wonder what's in the box...

 Oh ma gawd it's pink

Anatomicals - You Need a Blooming Shower (rude if you ask me): full size is worth £5

 Micabella - Mineral Eye Shadow: full size is worth £14.95

 Sassoon - Professional Spray Shine: full size is worth £14.89

 Me Me Me - Fat Cat Mascara: worth £7.99

Miners Lipstick - Pink Shimmer: worth £3.99

A lollipop!!!!!! (yay)

I haven't tried out any of the products yet, (OK I tell a lie, I've eaten the lollipop. T'was fabulous) but  overall I'm impressed with this months box. It's nice to get lots of makeup, as January's box was all skincare, but I'm more of a makeup gal!

My Fave Trends: SS13

Hiya guys,

Some of the biggest trends this season are florals, monochrome & stripes - all which I looove.

Here are some ways that I'm wearing them, perhaps to give you some ideas! (Caution: Bit of a Topshop overload)

FLORALS

Contrast Floral Print Tee: Topshop

Baxter Skinny Jeans: Topshop

Denim Jacket: Rokit

I bought this top last week, and my mums reaction was that it's very 'AGH'... (I'm assuming by this she means 'in your face') Hey ho, I'm o b s e s s e d with it! It mixes lots of trends in one, with the florals,  block patterns and the checked print. Definitely wear with a jacket in the winter, so you don't freeze to death!

MONOCHROME

Aztec Midi Dress: Topshop

Leather Jacket: New Look

Ankle Boots: New Look

Eeeek I'm so excited to wear this dress out! I'm trying to think of ways to make it look more casual, cause at the moment it looks quite formal, especially with the tights & boots. What are your thoughts?

STRIPES

Stripy Shirt: Topshop

Baxter Skinny Jeans: Topshop

Necklace: Dorothy Perkins

Loafers: Primark

I'm so pleased that stripes are still in fashion, as I bought this nearly a year ago! Definitely think I'll stick to the vertical stripes, as horizontal could be a bit dodgy...

Hope ya liked the post! x

A Guide to Long Lashes

Hiya everyone,

Over the last few years, over a billion people have asked me what mascara I used, so I thought this would be an ideal thing to blog about! (Warning: this post contains slightly creepy pictures of my eye)

I'm currently using two mascara's. For lengthening: L'oreal Telescopic, Carbon Black, and for volumising: Maybelline The Colossal, 100% Black. I also use the No7 Eyelash Curlers (shown below) 

Now for the exciting part!

So here's my eye au-natural

Then... after holding my curlers over them for 30 seconds

Then I do one coat of my L'oreal Telescopic, Carbon Black

You can see how well this lengthens them!

Finally... (cue dramatic music) here are ze finished eyelashes, after a coat of Maybelline The Colossal, 100% Black  However, if you prefer a less clumpy look then this step is optional :)

I love both these mascaras, neither smudge during the day and they are both fairly easy to remove. I'm also desperate to try the Benefit They're Real mascara, has anyone tried it?

I'm Likin': Frilly Socks

Here are some of the shirts that I'm currently lusting over/can't afford!

Entering the Land of Blogging

Well hello...

Welcome to my first post! (Aaah this is scary)

I've wanted to start a blog for months now, yet never quite had the guts to do it... but thanks to a bit of egging on from friends, here I am!

I plan to post about anything fashion or beauty related and ridiculously girly. We shall see!
