THE PERFUME WAS MY WEAKNESS

I had an unexpected free Friday, as didn't end up doing what I had thought- but it wasn't that fun so having some me time was a bonus :)
I arranged with a friend to have a gander around the shops and go for some lunch.

My day started off with dropping Alex off and nursery and having an ultimate chill out morning in front of the TV binge watching Once Upon a Time. Got to say, at the moment this is something I could watch day in, day out- I'm that into it! It did make me late leaving my house to head into town to meet my friend as just had to finish the episode I was on.
 If you haven't seen it and into fairy tales but with a twist - get on Netflix and give it a try.

We met at the local New Look a successful shopping trip indeed, I didn't get what I intended to buy but successful all the same :)

Black High-Waisted Jeans - Black goes with everything right? I've never owned a pain of high-waisted so thought why not try them on. Loved them, keep everything tucked in but also better to tuck tops in then normal jeans and this is something I seem to be doing quite abit at the moment

I tried on some bodysuits too as was curious as to how they would look. Do you see a theme, it seemed to be an unintended day of new things out of my comfort zone.

I am in LOVE with this one, the colour, the style I think goes really well with the high-waisted jeans that you can wear casually or dress up! 

But Guys, I need your help!! I really really want a berry colour lipstick to match this top - can you recommend any you think would look great?
drop me a comment, tweet, message
:)

I like this one because of my love for stripes and is always good to have a mix of colour to match with different items in your wardrobe. But, I've been trying this on with different items etc and I just don't feel as good in it as i did in the changing room, so I think it'll be going back to the store, maybe an exchange? Not sure yet though











I only planned to go to Boots for some coral looking nail varnish as was feeling something bright for my toes. I came out with Rimmel - Glaston-berry which is a pretty colour. A coral-pink, bright but not too bright. i really like it was definitely the look I was going for.

For those who know me know I am a massive perfume fan. My collection was getting smaller so over the last couple of weeks I've been having a gander. I 100% did not intend to buy any perfume on Friday haha but when we was having a look we were told an extra 20% off all perfumes. I could not resist this opportunity. It took me so long to choose but went with Flower by KENZO. This perfume is a really sweet blend, probably better to wear spring/summer time but I love changing my 'smell' on a daily basis :)
what perfumes do you like?

We had a lovely chinese lunch at MaySum a buffet-style restaurant I haven't visit in such a long time and got to say I really enjoyed it, I came home afterwards as we actually spent quite some time in NewLook haha and yep I did binge watch another episode of OUAT before collecting Alex from nursery - what am I gonna do when I'm finished? haha - luckily I've had another series recommended to me.
I have a list as long as my arm for other things I want to buy, can't wait to update my wardrobe with jumpers and cosy cardigans.

Love days like this!

LETS TALK MASCARA

Lets talk Mascara, most of us wear it, its a staple product in most peoples make up bags. If I'm planning on not wearing much make-up to pop to my local shop my go-to first grab item is a mascara- it makes all the difference!

I think I mentioned in a blog posts months ago that I was trying to try and change my make up iems as had stuck to the same products for such a longgggg time - when i could possible find something better :) so over the months I've been trying different Mascaras that have caught my eye.

Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Drama

I purchased this Mascara when I saw it advertised in my local Boots drugstore as a new poduct, I thought it was the perfect different kind of mascara to use. I actually really like this product, it definitely gave my lashes some volume and 'push-up' effect. It was easy to use and I really like the wand. The only downfall that I found was if i was rushing to do my make up it would be clumpy. But, if you have the time to build it gradually 1 or 2 layers it was perfect. The tube was really pretty too, really stands out amongst your make up bits.

Rimmel Scandel Eyes Extreme

I purchased this Mascara after a couple of recommendations of some friends as was looking for abit more volume for a night out. Out of the 3 this is my least favourite, I really struggled to use it. I didn't like the wand and the 2 different type of bristles. Although it had instructions on the back of the tube still struggled to get it right. It was. for me, extremely clumpy, every time I put it on there was clumpy bits in my eyelashes. It didn't give much volume or effect other then looking messy-It was generally messy to use- I was lucky if didn't get it all over the tube hands etc in the process. 

I did purchase a different mascara as soon as i could as just wasn't enjoying using this one. Sadly not a fave (thumbs down)

L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Fatale

I saw a video of this being used on Facebook and was interested in giving it a try. when I did see it in my local Boots Drugstore the lovely bottle caught my eye, really love this tube and the colours :)

I've been using this for about a week or so now so its still pretty new but I'm loving it so far. Although it doesn't give as much volume as I hoped but... i really really like the way it fans out my lashes and the way they look. Its so easy to use and no problems so far. 

So thats a few I've been trying, liking and disliking. Whats your favourite mascara, any recommendations?
