Limited Edition Vaseline Creme Brulee!







It's very important to keep our lips moisturised during the winter months and i'm always on the lookout for something new and exciting to keep in my handbag. I have always been a lover of the Laura Mercier bath and body range and in particular the Creme Brule so when i found this limited edition Vaseline (which is is exclusive to Selfridges) i had to have it!

It is everything you expect from a lip treatment but has the added bonus of smelling AMAZING, and you all know how i love lip products that smell (and taste) nice :-)
i've been wearing it for a few days now and i am totally in love.

If anyone has the same love of all things delicious like me you can get it (here),  i hope you all enjoy and please let me know if you get it and love it!!!!!

Collection 2000 Pump up the Volume mascara!

Unlike the Big Fake lash mascara, i felt this one really worked! It is very black (which i love) really separates my lashes and adds the volume we all want. I love the curved wand as i feel which ever way you turn it you can reach every lash, with out the wand being massive.

This is a budget mascara i definitely recommend and at £4.99 i think it's an absolute bargain!

Calling everyone in Norwich!

So we all know how much i love my Aveda hair products at the minute and i was in Aveda in Norwich this week replenishing my products when one of the ladies asked me if i wanted my hair styled for a small donation which goes to water aid.

I said yes as this is a good cause and always love my hair being played with and it was amazing! The ladies in the are really good and professional and i loved what she did, i also saw her do another girl when i was in there that had an amazing french plait up do!

So if you are in the Norwich area i really recommend going especially as it is for Water Aid (they only asked me for a small donation so i assume what ever you can afford).

Next time i will take a pic and please let me know if you go in there as i would love to know what you have done!

Collection 2000 Big Fake Lash Effect Mascara.


I have been using this mascara for about a week now and as a person who is very big on mascara and making my lashes looking as long and thick as possible, i have to say i'm not massively impressed.

It's quite a natural effect mascara with a very large wand (which i don't get on well with) and i feel i have to apply lots of layers to get any sort of effect. I also feel the mascara could be more black as i am not a fan of mascara's that look greyish as they are not black enough.

With all that said for the price of £4.99 i don't feel i have too many complaints as some mascaras are very pricey these days, so for all of you shopping on a budget i feel Collection 2000 have a very good range at a very good price.

Traveling!

As i couldn't figure out how to put pics up on my traveling video i thought as it is coming up to the anniversary of me leaving, i would show you all a few.


This is Chang Mai which is Northern Thailand, we went to the Tiger Kingdom and i got the most amazing chance to snuggle this cub, but wait until you see the next pic!


This was slightly scary but amazing!


This is a view from a mountain top in Chang Mai, it was beautiful!


We went on an Elephant trek while in Chang Mai, we camped in the jungle for a night which was such an awesome experience to wake up to this.


The beautiful Koh Phi Phi beach which has to be one if my favourite places ever!


This is slightly random i know but i loved the Chang beer in Thailand especially after being in the sun all day there is nothing better than a nice cold beer (obviously mine was the large).


This was the beach we had outside our villa in Koh Phangan, it was a small treat in the month we were there so we made the most of it before we were back in hostels!



As we arrived in Singapore we were greeted by this huge santa, being away at christmas was the hardest but i loved seeing it from another country, although no one does christmas like family!


I had never seen anything like this hotel before, unfortunately i couldn't afford to stay there but when i win the lottery i'm definitely going back to Singapore to stay in one of their amazing hotels!!


The famous Raffles hotel where the Singapore sling was invented, i had one but it cost me $30!!!!!


Obviously the famous Sydney opera house, this is so surreal looking at something i have only seen on T.V!


And what would the opera house be with out the Harbour Bridge!


Bondi Beach on a slightly colder day as you can see by the lack of people but still amazing to see!


This is the YHA we stayed ta in Yamba, which is a tiny place but i couldn't recommend it more. I had one of the best times in my life here as the hostel owners are so friendly and make everyone feel at home, if oyu ever go to OZ please please go!


One of the many amazing beaches Byron Bay has to offer!


I couldn't go to OZ without going to Australia Zoo which is the home of Steve Irwin, i wanted to take this little guy home!


This is Lake Mckenzie on Fraser Island where i spent my New Years Eve last year, i'm still not sure if this was real, i couldn't believe the colour of this fresh water lake.



This was the view of Mt Maunganui.



This was a Cafe called Circus Circus funnily enough they had decorated the place like a circus with clowns hanging from the ceiling and my Hot Chocolate came served in a bowl, which is my opinion is the only way to drink it!


This was South Sea island (the first i stayed on in Fiji) it was seriously small and looked like somehting from a postcard!


I took this pic to show just how clear the water was, i still can't believe it when i look back at this, i was so lucky to of seen it!


One of the many sunrises i saw in Fiji!






Im sorry if that was boring but it was just a small insight into my traveling experience, if any of you are thinking about going, please don't hesitate it will be the best experience of your life and everything will be exactly how you left it when you get back :-)

Loreal Product Review.


They have amazing colour payoff, feel very light on the eyes and have an amazing shimmer.


  Top 164 Creme Lame
Bottom 182 Blue Jean


These are the Colour Infallible Eyeshadows, they are a loose powder with amazing pigment and when they are applied to the skin they feel slightly creamy, they are also water and smudge proof!


Top 014 Eternal Black 
Bottom 021 Sahara Treasure


Left-Volume million lashes extra black, i love the original and this is just as amazing, the rubber wand really separates the lashes and adds amazing length.

Right-Super liner luminizer, this is a really easy to apply eyeliner with a soft sponge applicator, it comes in a gorgeous plum colour with a metallic finish.


Black Amethyst super liner luminizer


The universal lip glow is a clear lipstick that adjusts to the warmth of the wearer to create a shade unique to you. It feels creamy like a balm and on me gives a lovely soft pink tone to my lips.


The Glam Shine Fresh is a lipgloss with a sheer colour payoff, it feels very soft on the lips and not at all sticky, it has the unique heart shaped wand which helps to get a precise application and it smells quite fruity which goes down well with me :-)


Top - 186 Aqua Grapefruit
Bottom - 181 Sheer Grenadine

Today i am loving!

Today i am loving my Laura Mercier Tinted Moisteriser, we have had a heat wave here in the UK over the past week which is crazy for us as that never happens in October but by no means am i complaining!!!! So today i didn't want to wear much on my skin as i was very very hot so i wore this and i had totally forgotten how much i loved it!

It feels so light on the skin however has a touch more coverage than the average tinted moisteriser so is perfect for me as i do get high colour on my cheeks. It is also in so many finishes (normaol, oil free and illuminating) i think that everyone is bound to find one that suits them.

Give it a go and let me know how you get on :-)

Jewellery!!!!

So another useless fact about me is that i absolutely adore jewellery (which i get from my mum) and i have so many pieces i love, i thought i would put a few bits on here over time to show you which ones are my favs.


These are my Vivienne Westwood earrings that i am totally in love with, i wear them with everything! They usually go against my taste as i'm not really into heart jewellery but these i adore and wear constantly!

They are really comfortable to wear and i love how the gold sits perfectly with the gun metal grey.
