May Favourites!

Hello lovelies
Time for my May favourites! I don't think I've done a favourites post before!

Beauty


Here are all my beauty favs for the past month!
For nail polish I have picked Seche Vite top coat, Bikini So Tini from Essie and Fairy Dust from China Glaze. I got these in Florida and have just been absolutely loving them. Featured in this Haul with prices etc.
I have one skincare item which is my clinique moisturiser. I got this about 3 months ago and it really has made a huge difference to my skin. Definitely would like to try some more clinique skincare products.
For my Eyeshadow I have my beloved Naked 2 Palette. I have loved this ever since I got it in January. The colours are so beautifully pigmented and perfect for any look. Swatches here.
I have my rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner in Nude. I love putting this on my waterline. I literally use this everyday I wear makeup.
I then have 2 of the Maybelline Color Tattoos in Bad to the Bronze and Barley Branded. I have worn one of these two almost everyday since I got them. They are feature in this haul which has prices and where I got them along with the next few items. They are just beautiful as bases or on their on. Bad to the Bronze is a lovely neutral bronze and Barley Branded is a gorgeous champagne colour.
For lips my two favourites have been the L'oreal color riche in 172 Blushing Sequin and Maybelline Babylips in Cherry Me. They colours are quite similar in the swatch picture below but on the lips Blushing Sequin is a very wearable bright pink because of it's slight sheer glossy finish and Cherry Me is a sheer red.
I've also been loving NYX blusher in Peach, It just gives a beautiful flush to the cheeks and Cover Girl Clump Crusher Mascara. One of my favourite mascaras I've ever tried, it just makes my eyelashes look long and voluminous with zero clumping!
I find it really difficult to find foundations I like but this month I have found two! Rimmel Wake me up foundation is great for every day and is a very reasonable price and Laura Mercier is a pricey foundation but perfect for high coverage and for special occasions.

All three Nail Polishes Together. 3 Coats on Bikini So Tini (could get away with 2) 1 coat of Fairy Dust and a coat of Seche Vite.

Fashion


For my sort of Fashion Favourties I have my white converses. I got these in Florida and I've never owned converse before but I am in Love! They are so comfortable and go with everything!
My shorts from Asda. I LOVE these. They were so cheap but I wore them all the time when I was in Florida and I'm not usually a shorts kinda girl like I usually don't even take any shorts!
Lastly is This Necklace from Forever 21


Finally my other favourite is my Dog <3
Max is 7 years old and is a beautiful Golden cocker Spaniel who never lost his puppy cuteness! Isn't he just adorable. I always wonder if other people think he's as cute as I do or if i'm just biased!


Sunbathing in the garden together. Best Buds!

Hope you all had an amazing May! It was probably my favourite Month of the year so far and here's to a healthy happy amazing June!

Keep Your Heels High

Hello there beautiful people

I don't know about you but I LOVE getting dressed up to go out and getting dressed up means HEELS

I love shoes, heels in particular so I thought I'd share mine with you so we can discuss how amazing shoes are


Starting with my black heels





 These were the one of the first ever heels I bought from New Look years ago. I could hardly walk in them when I got them, Bless my little self. But Yeah I still really like these, I don't wear them as much anymore but they are great because they are so simple and classic and go with practically anything.



 These next ones I got about 2 years ago from a German shoe shop in Aberdeen (sorry I can;t remember the name! ) They were so cheap like £15 and I have worn these to death and they are still in amazing condition! What more can I ask?













These babies are my newest to my heels collection that you will see! They are from New Look, I got them in the sale in January for £13. These are great. They go with almost everything for a party and they have lace all over which I love and they also have patent details! Only down side to these is they kill your feet because of the height!


Next, My purple shoes



Looking familiar? Yes these are the exact same as the first pair I showed, just in purple. I loved them so much I had to get both colours even though they only had purple in a 6 and I wear a 5 I bought them anyway. So as you can imagine I've never actually worn these.. I'm going to give them to my mum I think, they'll fit her!













Now these, These are my pride and joy, My babies, I love them to pieces. They were actually a birthday present for my 16th from my best friend, oh she knows me so well. I know they were from boohoo.com But come on, we all just have to take a few minutes to appreciate the beauty that are these shoes. They are suede with an amazing glitter heel, only downside is again, they kill your feet and aren't the easiest to walk in but it's so worth it even if you do fall three times in one night..


My red and pink













These were the first pair of heels I ever got and they were actually my mums and are also slightly too big being a size 6 but I wore them anyway because I adored these shoes! They are just patent red with a little fabric bow. As you can see i like this style of shoe when I first started wearing heels! These were from New Look and are just a pair of nice simple red heels.




 I got these nude shoes after months of searching for the perfect pair. Eventually I found these in guess where? New Look. I absolutely LOVE how the heel and platform and strap are a different colour. These shoes just make me so happy. I get to wear them a lot and they are the perfect fit! No insoles needed for these babies! The best part yet, I can keep them on ALL night!

My Little Silver Sandals





I got these for a friends 16th whose party was in the summer. They are from Stead & Simpson which has now closed down I think, well at least the one where I live has. They were just perfect for the occasion and were really inexpensive. I really like these because they are so dainty and pretty. Perfect for summer parties with the family and little things like that.

Wedges













These are the last shoes I'm going to show. My wedges. I got these last summer to go with a dress I bought for going on holiday and I really wanted wedges for the summer anyway! These are actually just from Primark! You can really find some gems there when you're lucky. Since they were from primark they were so cheap for shoes but they work perfectly well for me. Since they are black they also go with a lot of outfits and are just perfect for what I wanted. Although everyone says walking in wedges is easier, I completely disagree! I find these so difficult to walk in compared to for example my nude shoes! What is wrong with me?!

I do own one more pair of heels that just arrived this week but I'm not going to show you because they are my prom shoes! I love them and I so desperately want to show them but I'm keeping the for when I do like my Outfit of the Night for Prom post in June!

So if you want to see those babies ( they really are beautiful) then you should follow my blog ;)

Now leave me a comment telling me about your favourite shoes so we can be all girly and get excited over shoes!

Hope you all have/having/had a fantastic day! All I did was read a book and write this, exciting stuff eh?

Whats In My Bag

Aloha!

I love reading "Whats in my Bag" posts or YouTube videos so I figured other people probably do too!

Here is my bag, isn't it beautiful? I'm so in love with it. This was my Christmas present from my parents! Mother has good taste. It's from the brand Lipsy which I absolutely love!


Here is a little snap of the inside. The one down side to this bag is it is just one big compartment which some people love but i do wish there was more because I like to organise thing and it's difficult with this bag.


So in my bag I have:
  • A bottle of water because I am always thirsty!
  • My glasses which i pretty much never wear but in my bag they are there if i need them
  • My little purple camera 
  • 2 pens because one is not enough clearly
  • My Pink Radley purse I got for Christmas, I love how it's so bright and I don't have to dig around hard to find it!
  • My iPod for when my phones battery is running low
  • Keys
  • A hair bobble
  • Gloves, but not just any gloves, no. Touch screen gloves! So I can use my phone and iPod with them on! One of the best inventions ever.

More! I actually have so much in my bag, It's really heavy!
  • Perfume, This changes to whatever perfume I have on but today it's Paco Rabanne Lady Million. It smells amazing!
  • Tissues!
  • Soap & Glory Hand food, I love this stuff. LOVE.
  • Soap & Glory Hand Maid hand sanitizer. I have so many hand sanitizers. I could not be without them.
  • 2 Nivea lip balms. Unsure why there is 2 but..
  • Some good old Vaseline
  • Rimmel Apocalips in Big Bang (blog post on that here), This switches out for whatever lip colour I have on.
  • A little roll on deodorant 
  • A compact mirror. I got this as a gift from my friend for my birthday. It actually has a little personal engraved message which is super cute. I love it <3
  • Kirbys! I have millions but can never find one when I want it..

Finally I have my health carey stuff. Very boring but i thought I'd show you anyway because well its in my bag..
  • Antihistamines for hay fever and also for any minor allergic reactions
  • Eye drops for allergies
  • Right now I have Codeine in my bag because I recently had surgery
  • Inhaler 
  • EpiPen incase I decide to go eat a peanut or something..


Well that's everything inside my bag! As always if you have done this post let me know because I find it interesting seeing what other people carry around with them, is that weird? Probably.. Or just tell me what one thing you can't leave your house without!
