Shop my stash January!x

Hello everyone,
So I'm feeling I need a series to start that is in the middle of the month, then I thought about shop my stash. If you don't know what this is it is basically where you go around looking in your collection of all things beauty and find a selection of things you've brought and never tried or loved for ages but then either forgot about them or found something else to move on to, you then try and love these products again.Each month somewhere in the middle I will do this post and get lots of love out of all re products it's a great thing to do mix up your look each month, so let's get into January's selection shall we ?!
Here is a basic product, it a lee stafford heat protector, I heard many great things about this so brought it but never got round to using it, I used it this morning for the first time as I straightened my hair which I haven't done for ages. I really enjoyed the product this morning and will continue to try it out.
Next I found this cream blush from Rommel London it's from their wake me up range, I have the colour radiant rose 002 I loved this about 2 months ago and it feel to the bottom of my drawer and I thought I had lost it however clearly not, I must admit I got quite excited when I found it and I'm sure I will soon fall back in love!
This is one of the chilli pepper palettes and I got it about 9 months ago and loved it until about 4 moths ago when I found a new silver smoky eye palette,as you can see im touching pan on a few of the colours however im still going to try and regain my love for this product.
Carrying on with the eye shadow theme, this is my collection of Barry M dazzle dusts which I still love so much but I just haven't used them in ages so I really hope I get some more use out of these.
Here we have the MUA nail polishes all the beauty bloggers rave about,they are known as the essie dupes and I must say mint candy apple(essie) and pistachio ice cream(MUA) are almost identical I brought these few shades to try them out but they have been lingering at the back of the nail polish drawer for a while now so I thought I better include these.Again I am actually getting on quite well as today I am wearing strawberry crush (left side in photo) however i must say it has applied very streaky.
For the lips I already tend to switch it up a lot so none of my lip products really get left out however I do feel like my lancome glossy tubes need a little more love,so they are going straight into my handbag and school bag :)

I know there is a lot of earrings here im not going to try and use them all but I am putting myself to the test of changing my earrings every week as I stick with one pair for months and I have all these earrings just sitting in my jewellery box feeling left out.

Last but not least again down the jewellery line I've found a few bangles that I haven't worn in a while and im going to try and pair some bracelets with every outfit I wear to make sure I use them.

That is it guys, I literally feel like I have been shopping through this blog post, you should definitely try it because you find some good old gems while your at it!
I hope you enjoyed

Empties #2

                                                                Hello everyone,
                                       
It's been a while however I have a lot of posts lined up for you all starting with today's which is going to be the 2nd episode of my empties series :) if your unsure as to what this is it's basically me telling you about products I've used up recently and whether or not I've enjoyed them so let's go!x
                                     
Today I ran out of this product which I am very unhappy about, it's the away with the fairies dry shampoo I've been using it like oxygen lately to give my hair more volume and texture ,not really for the purpose of a dry shampoo but it worked :) you can purchase it from superdrug for 99p it's so cheap yet such a good product!
                                     
A second product from superdrug, the cherry and fig scented shampoo, it smells divine and I also find it gives me a lot of volume and just genuinely makes my hair feel twice as clean, also only 99p you can't really go wrong.This is definatley a repurchase!
                                     
This product wasn't for me, I'm so glad it's gone as it's way way way to sweet for me every time I used it I felt sick because of the sweetness however if you love sweet smells this may be your solution.
                                                                   
 Recently my skin has been sucking up a lot of moisture so I have used up both my night and day creams. For my day cream I have been using the simple hydrating light moisturizer which I must say has worked wonders for my skin it gives so much moisture. And for night I have used the Lacura Aqua complete moisturizer which didn't really show results so this is another product I'm glad to get rid of.
                                 
My lips have also been very dry recently so I have been loving the Nivea essential care lip balm as it is so moisturizing and lasts forever ( please exuse the foundation muck at the bottom of the tube sorry :/ ) I am already using a new one it is that good!


I hope you enjoyed this post, I will have more coming your way very soon. I hope you are all having a fabulous January. Thanks for reading!x
Cheerio!x

2013 beauty favourites !x

Hello everyone,
So 2013 has come to an end and with my obbsession with beauty and youtubers this year I have a lot of favourites to share!
So let's get to it!!
In 2013 I have LOVED glitter nail polishes I have no idea why they are just so amazing! My favourite brand for these in 2013 was barry m 
My favourite scent last year was my love struck floral rush Vera wang perfume which I received for my birthday in September 
This has been my life saver, I get really bad knots underneath my hair and this just combs straight through them without it hurting it is amazing, it's also a great size for travelling and I love the colour 
As I started watching the beauty gurus this year I have been a lot lot lot more into makeup and I discovered contoring, which is where you darken the shadow of your cheekbone I think it makes such a difference and I haven't gone a day without doing this.
As you can tell by the embarrassing mess this powder is in, I have loved this powder soooo much, it's the rimmel London stay matte powder in peach glow this is also another product I didnt go without last year.

For body "things" i discovered towards the end of the year. I've always loved lush and I'm always going in to buy new bath bombs however I've never really gone in for any of their bubble bars or shower gels that was until this christmas when I discovered THE SNOW FAIRY SCENT it is like heaven, the stick you can see in the middle of the photo was the magic star wand thing in the snow fairy scent however I used the last part the night before I took the pictures but it was amazing and the other two products are the shower gels a travel mini and a large bottle. I felt the need to stock up as they only come out at christmas *cries* other body related things I've been loving are from soap and glory, their sugar crush scent is also divine when you see it anywhere smell it trust me it's amazing ! 
For foundation in 2013 I have loved the rimmel match perfection, I find it not too heavy but not too light and it is just perfect for my skin. It has particles in it which react with your skin tone and match it which makes it look even more natural. It is just great!!
The sleek blushes have definatley stood out to me this year they are so cheap and well pigmented, there are also a lot of colours so your bound to find dupes for more expensive products! I hope to extend my collection in 2014.
The maybeline the falsies mascara is one of the best around, in 2013 I tryed out a lot of mascaras but this one was by far the greatest it gives my lashes so much volume and length it seems impossible!
WOW this pictures blurry wish I would have noticed that before it went dark, sorry guys :/ anyway for eyeliners I have loved the umberto giannini painfeal lady feliner it has a felt tip and is so easy to apply, this I have loved since the very start of the year as I brought it in the January sales. For kohl eyeliner it is the rimmel scandal eyes waterproof eye kohl I love this for my water line as it literally stays put all day I definatley need to see what other colours are available!
This one was easy the barry m lip glosses are just amazing I don't need to ramble on about these as they are just simpley the best!
The mua lipsticks are really good for only 1 POUND you can't get better they are really moisturising and also have extra product I'm the bottom bonus!
The maybeline colour sensational lipsticks are also really fab! But hold up let's just move on a second these new rimmel colour rushes are just next level amazing! Amazing last amazing colour amazing scent I'm just gonna say amazing one more time !just go and get one !!
To remove all the amazing make up discovered last year I used the superdrug brightening hot cloth cleanser it's really cheap and completely removes all makeup water proof or not
Last but not least I've loved using my ghd straightners for all purposes wave straighten curl they are very good however quite expensive so maybe you could ask for them as a birthday present 

So there it is my 2013 beauty favs, sorry it was quite long but I hope you enjoyed I look forward to loving all these products more this year and also finding some new fabulous products!
Cheerio!x

Happy new year!!x

Hello everyone,
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all, I hope you all celebrated in style last night and hope that you had a fab end to 2013 !
Where to start ....
So many good things have happened this year we moved house, I started my blog and youtube channel,I got sucked into the addictive black hole of youtubers,I turned 15 and lots more exciting things.
However this year when we unfortunately lost a family member I realised how important family is, seeing my family that upset close to the end of the year made me feel like i had to be strong for them but I also felt like nothing would be back to the way it was and that none of us would be happy again. But thankfully we are all back on track remembering the good times we had with him and just living our wonderful lifes to their limits.
The year beside this has been amazing I feel like I'm much stronger now and that I can be myself around people.following the panic attacks due to bullying in 2012 I feel like 2013 has made me a better person. I now no longer worry about what people think of me while at school I just enjoy learning  and having fun with my friends. I hope 2014 is amazing for ALL of you! Thank you sooooo much for reading and here are a few pictures from last night where we partied with 2013! 

Thanks!
Cheerio!x
