Nails Inc Piccadilly| NOTD


Just a quick peek of my nails today. Moving away from the metallics (although I've got a little bit of sparkle.)
This is my first and only Nails Inc varnish, but I would definitely get another. I got this free with Cosmopolitan magazine or glamour magazine a few months ago, and I really like the shade.


Shoe Dazzle Haul




Just a quick little post to share some picture of my lovely new shoes. As I mentioned a few weeks ago Shoe Dazzle UK was closing down, so they had a huge sale. Naturally I indulged and ended up buying 3 pairs of shoes, which I finally received today... YEAH!

The shoes themselves are gorgeous! Really well made and comfortable.

Which is your favorite? Mine are the purple ones!

Topshop Makeup Brushes| Review


A while ago, actually during the January sales, I bought this makeup brush collection from Topshop. I had previously not owned an entire makeup brush collection, just a few cheap brushes here and there, so thought I would splurge. 

The brush set cost me £26 if I remember correctly (so not so much of a splurge) but I thought it was a bargain, a good starter set, and loved the cute little case it came in too. 

So for the review.

The Good
  • The brushes were soft
  • There is a good variety of brushes, including brushes for face, bronzer, blush, lips and eyes. 
  • Nicely shaped brushes

The Bad
  • Quite thin bristles, not good for packing on colour. 
  • The brushes have started to shed quite a lot... very annoying!
  • After washing the brushes, they do not seem as soft.

    Overall I would give the brushes a 2/5. At first I was very happy with them, but it seems that after continually usage they have almost disintegrated as they just get worse and worse. 

    I am definitely looking at investing in some new brushes. Anyone got any favourites that don't break the bank? Or does one have to pay money for quality make-up brushes?

    Dinner and Cocktails| OOTD


    This outfit is from about a week ago, when I went to dinner with my friend to celebrate finishing our assignments. We went to quite a fancy restaurant and knew we were going for cocktails afterwards so I went smart casual. I hope you like.


    *Dress- Primark*
    *Belt- H&M*
    *Shoes- Primark*
    *Bag- Primark*
    *Blazer- New Look*

    Wow! I didn't even realise till know that it was pretty much a Primark exclusive outfit. Not bad I don't think!

    Pamper Sunday



    So tonight I had a little pamper night, after my hard day at work.
    I finally unpacked my Lush box that I got for Christmas, and inside found two bath bombs/ fizzers and a bath bar. I decided to use the Santa bomb... better late than never! The aroma is really nice, quite fruity, but still relaxing, and it turned the water a bright orange.
    So I had a lovely long bath while reading my Cosmo magazine and painting my nails a lovely metallic silver, and being covered in my mud mask
    I think people should pick up Cosmo magazine this month, some great articles that make you stop and think, my two favourite are one on UK citizens being duped into trafficking abroad. The other article is about Sugar Daddy websites, and the girls who use them... a very interesting read. 

    I hope you all had a lovely relaxing sunday also!

    Beckham Crush

    As David Beckham is currently inside my telebox on The Jonathan Ross Show I thought I would share his latest H&M ad campaign pictures for his underwear collection. #Swoon #Crushinghard

    Fitness Friday| Lets get Fab Abs!

    I present to you all another challenge! Yes it is the third day of the month, so we have technically missed 3 days. But we can all start together. This is a challenge I found on my dashboard on Tumblr, and I love it! I  especially love it because it rhymes... how cute!

    So it is fairly self explanatory, just do what it tells you to do each day and I'm sure we will see some improvements. These exercises will only take 15 minutes each day so there is no excuse!

    Set this as your desktop, or print it out and place it somewhere you will see it often so you are more likely to do it.

    It doesn't matter if you can't do all of them, just do the most you can. I for one can not do more than 10 push-ups in a row, so its going to test me!

    For an even larger challenge for your abs, how about trying the plank challenge also (the number is in seconds);
    For those who want to follow the jumping jack challenge,  Click here for the plan for February.

    Let me know what you think, and if you are going to join me on any of the challenges.
