little update post

top: hypnotic skirt: topshop 


havent posted for about a week so i feel really bad! i bought loads of things that i need to post about : one being the zara messenger bag, topshop skirt that im wearing here; topshop lipstick; two new necklaces. i had my first university exhibition last night- it was so lovely having daniel, my dad and sister seeing my work, everyone was chatting and it was just a lovely opening night. been invidulating the studio today and will be taking the exhibition down tomorrow- have got an essay to hand it too so its been a rather busy week, from next week i probably wont have much to do so ill have time to blog but! ive put myself on a spending ban from today because i need to pay for my holiday! 

My skincare routine.

kleenex facial cloths; T-zone shine control cleansing wipes; tesco sensitive eye make-up remover; No 7 foaming cleanser garnier deep clean foam wash; lush breath of fresh air toner water; clean and clear shine control and monu recovery balm moisturiser;

heres a few products that i use- i have really oily and shiny skin that is prone to breakouts and spots, i use a few shine control products aswell cleansers; i prefer foaming cleansers and i would really reccomend the No 7 foaming cleanser as its really nice to the skin and smells nice. you may be thinking ergg tesco eye make-up remover, this is the first time ive used it but it was 80p and its amazing; its really sensitive, it doesnt hurt your eyes at all and it removes all your make up not just eye make up- so for those on a tight budget get yourself down to tesco- they have a whole range of products too. i really like my monu moisturiser and ill be gutted when ive finished it- ill probably buy the full size product as its for stressed skin and i feel it really works and refreshes my skin.

REVIEW: cheeky pink

models own cheeky pink powder blusher £6
collection lasting colour lipstick shade 8 sweet tart £2.99





i picked up the models own blusher because ive prevously been using no 7 loose powder blush and i really liked it however i wanted to try something new the models own blusher is a powder blush and its a nice bright pink colour which is what ive been using recently. the consistency is nice and it applys nice with my blusher/bronzer brush. Its not clear in the picture but it does have a little bit of shimmer in to. i think its abit like benefit coralista although its a little less orange. i think for £6 this is a really good product and may use it again.

the lipstick is a really bright pink i've been looking at lipsticks alot recently because i really want to buy a ysl lippy but i really cannot justify the price so i keep picking cheap lipsticks up and i will continue to until i decide whether to buy a more pricy lipstick .

this collection lipstick was £2.99! and its a lovely bright colour, its rather moisturising and it stays on for ages, i dont really like the packaging but its £2.99 and i would really recommend it !! its such a cute pink aswell :)


have you tried any of these products if so what do you think? 

REVIEW: LUSH breath of fresh air toner water.

100g = £3.75

I've never really used lush before as i never really know what i'm looking for and i think a few things are overpriced.
I heard about this product on a video (cant remember who's :/) and i decided i would give it ago! ive been using it for about a week now and i really do love it.

I've started a new cleansing regime- Ive been using T- zone wipes and then a clean and clear shiny skin cleanser followed by a few spritz' of this and then followed by my monu moisturiser. my skin feels great and its glowy too

the toner smells really nice and makes your face feel really fresh - its nice to put on in the morning to wake you up but also when you are just sitting on your computer or doing work etc its a nice fresh spritz on your face.

I dont know how i feel about the price - its  not alot of product for £4 but then again whats £4?


have you used this or considered trying it?

REVIEW; Montagne Jeunesse Skin Heros Range,






most have you have probably heard about these- its the new skin heros range from montagne jeunesse, its specifically for spot prone/ bad pores etc.
as i feel my skins not the best; i have break outs and my skins really oily i decided that i would try them out.

i tried the nose strips first;
they are really easy to use; have alot of stick in them; they smell nice and fruity not chemically.
they didnt irritate my nose. 3x so should last a few weeks; i would imagine they will retail at just over £1 or £2 so a good value for money.
I used superdrugs own brand nose strips and my nose was irritated and i broke out in spots; really happy this didnt happen- will defonatly use again and would reccomend.

Shine Control;
The consistency was really nice - there was plenty of product and it applied to my skin; i put a thick layer on and it dried really fast! after i used this product i was really happy with how bright my skin was and after using the moisturiser my skin was really soft and moisturised- however i didnt really notice any difference in the shine to my skin; its still a nice product

T-zone Peel Off:
Again alot of product; smelled nice - tea tree; which is popular in t-zone/ spot products. the mask peeled off really easily- i liked this because some peel off masks are abit tricky and messy but not this one. dried fast too;
the moisturiser was rather greasy but i used it before i went to bed so i didnt mind.- the moisturiser again had a tea tree scent which i think was a good mood because people do associate tea tree with spot treatments.

Dry Skin Mask;
Abbie (my sister) tried this one out for me;she suffers from eczema and has really dry skin.
It didnt seem to cover her face as thickly as the previous ones did on myself; i dont know if we had didnt applying methods. She kept it on the specified time - it didnt really go as hard as the others either; however her forhead was so soft and smoothe and she said it did releave some of the dry areas of her face.

*havent tried the Breakout mask yet.

Overall the products are nice; they have lovely packaging- the idea of including a moisuriser is clever to lock in the moisture to the skin so the treatment actually works- they smell nice; fruit not chemically. They are nice products to use if you do use spot treatments; however its hard to tell whether they do actually help prevent spots; dirty pores.

I know quite a few people were sent these too so let me know what you thought - link blogs below !

river island shirts.



i bought both of these shirts from river island in the sale, the white one was £12 and the black £10. i really like the material and length of the white one; its so comfy and goes really nice with leggings.

the black one is shorter; i wore it with jeans and it was abit annoying/ uncomfortable because of the length but tucked into a skirt it will look really nice :)

did any one buy anything in the end of season sales from riverisland?
