Easter!

Easter is one of my favourite times of the year! A time when myself and all the other sweet toothed citizens can scoff as much chocolate as we want and have most people turn a blind eye to it (except from my mum!). My mum thinks I'm getting too old to be excited about Easter, but hey! - one can never be too old! For me the best part about Easter is Creme Eggs! They are pure heaven! Although Galaxy is pretty good  to, it may be taking the top spot! I'm going to keep this post short and sweet (terrible pun intended!) and reign myself in from writing any more chocolate related ramblings. Now it's time for me to tease you all with my wonderful eggs! - Enjoy!

Until next time - Stay Beautiful!

Pastel Nails

I love painting my nails, whether I make them blend in with my outfit or paint them bright to inject a little pop of much needed colour into my day they really do complete a look. I decided to paint them pastel colours today as I think it looks so pretty! I am ashamed to say the two Beauty UK polishes I used came from a magazine! But they're really pretty colours and I love pairing them together on my nails! I'm going to keep this post short and sweet but I just had to share with you my perfect pink and purple nails!

Until next time - Stay Beautiful!

That Vanilla Moment!

I'm doing a review today about two of my favourite products of all time! They're from treacle moons line of products and are some of the best bath products I've ever used! They are That Vanilla Moment Bath and Shower Gel and That Vanilla Moment Body Scrub. They have the most beautiful vanilla scent EVER but some people may find it a little sickly. However don't let this put you off the actual brand as there are a number of other products in the line with different scents. One of my friends has raved about the Iced Strawberry Dream and Warm Cinnamon Nights but I'm sure the others are lovely too! Go and have a sniff!

The textures are lovely too! The Shower Gel is really smooth and works up into a lather really well. It's really cleansing to the skin and makes it super smooth. I normally put a little on a Shower Puff thingy (never know what they're called!) and just use it. The Scrub is well... like a scrub! There's not much to say about it apart from that it is really easy to massage into your skin and it visibly gets rid of dry and dead skin cells. I think they would work with all skin types.

The packaging is really cute and I know this doesn't affect the product but it has a little quote on the front 'My moment of sweet calm... just to think with carefree abandon about... maybe I won't tell you she said shyly some things are not for sharing.' I think having fun packaging can really make a product look good and make you want to use it a little more! Both products will last for ever as they are really big bottles!

I got the Shower Gel as part of a Christmas gift and loved it so much I wanted to buy the Body Scrub. They come from Tesco's and are both £2.99 so go and buy as many different 'flavours' as you can! One more little bonus about the brand is that they do not use animal testing and there products are suitable for vegetarians! So go buy some now!

Until next time - Stay Beautiful!

Fishtail Braid

I adore wearing my hair in a cute little fishtail braid. It's so simple to do and keeps your hair out of your face in the day. It can be ruffled and messy or sleek and shiny. There's so many different ways to wear it. I normally wear mine messy as my hair is quite thick and long so getting it sleek is a chore! For those of you who don't know how to fishtail plait it's super easy! You'll be in love in no time!

Fishtail Plait
1. Divide your hair into two equal sections. You can do this on the side or at the back.

2. Get a fairly thin but not too thin strand of hair from the outside of the left section and cross it over to the right section.

3. Then get a strand of hair from the outside of the right section and put it over to the left section.

4. Keep repeating this until you get to the end of your hair. Secure with an elastic.

That's it! So simple! You can add clips to your hair, headbands, flowers, bows, ribbons, whatever you want to the braid! Experiment to see what suits you best!

Until next time - Stay Beautiful!

P.S Excuse my school uniform :-(

Lawson

I went to see Lawson last night (Saturday night) with my best friend Emily. I thought I would write a post about what I wore to the concert, how I did my make-up and of course the actual concert itself!

Clothes

Firstly I'm going to write about my clothes. I wore my blue skinny jeans, a pink top, a black cardigan and my black ankle boots (aka my babies) which you can see in this post. I also took a simple black cardigan as it's still quite cold outside! My last post was about my handbag and what I had in it but that handbag wasn't really appropriate for a concert where I was packed into a small space, so I took a small cross body handbag with my phone, purse and camera in (I wasn't really too bothered about make-up touch ups etc).

My Outfit

Make-Up

For my make up I did quite a lot. I didn't put foundation on because I don't like wearing foundation as I feel like my skin is clogged up. I applied  Rimmel Clear Complexion Powder to my face to cover any blemishes using a bare minerals brush. I used Max Factor Earth Spirits Eye-shadow lightly on my eyelids using the other brush in the picture (don't know where its from!) and then Collection 2000 Fast Stroke Eyeliner and Miss Sporty Fabulous Lash Mascara. I left my lips natural as my eyes were quite dark.You can see my reviews of the powder, eyeliner and mascara here. I put quite a lot of make-up on because I wasn't going to be touching up throughout the night and I wanted it to be visible in the dark arena.

Make-Up

Finished Look!

Concert!

The concert it's self oh my! Lawson were amazing and so were the support acts Room 94 and Mike Dignam! We we're three rows from the front and had an amazing view! Room 94 came on first and they we're really good! We got to meet them outside afterwards but I didn't get any pictures :-( Then Mike Dignam came on and he was also brilliant! Afterwards Lawson came on and words cannot describe how amazing they are. The set list included Taking Over Me, Learn To Love Again, Standing In The Dark and a cover of Don't You Worry Child which I loved! I got loads of great pictures as well!

What's in my handbag?

Recently I've done 2 quite long posts reviewing items I own. Today I'm going to do a bit of a shorter post telling you all my handbag essentials. I hope you find it useful!

This is my handbag! My mum got it for me in London and I love it! I do also use a slightly smaller handbag when necessary but this is my favourite! It is Rosetti which I adore and the size of the handbag is just right. 

Here is a list of things I keep in my handbag at all times -

Purse

Blackberry

Chapstick

Brush, Mirror and Hair ties

Umbrella

iPod + Headphones

Tic Tacs/Chewing Gum

Lip gloss

Mascara

Notebook and pen

Tissues

Hand sanitizer

Love hearts

Keys

Sunglasses 

(and lots of sweet wrappers, tangled necklaces etc! I really need a good clean out!)

I hope that was helpful to you! Until next time - Stay Beautiful!

P.S. I just changed my blog header! I think it's better but would love it if you read my blog and prefer it to put a comment down below! Thank you!
