I thought it was about time I had a little catch up/what I've been doing these past two months post with you all, so here is a little snippet into what I have been doing since the new year began!
- These are the flowers Cal got me for Valentines day. We don't celebrate valentines day really all we usually get each other is a card but he got some flowers delivered to me as a little surprise which was really cute.
- For valentines day we just drove to Peterborough for the day and had lunch at the Homemade Burger Co which do the best burgers ever!! If you have a Franks near you then I am telling you they are better than Franks. Plus they serve huge chunky chips.
- Me and Cal are trying to eat better and starting this year have vowed to cook for ourself's once a week together since we are rubbish at cooking right now. We both live at home so we can get away with not cooking. One night we made an amazing homemade toad in the hole with mash and carrots and believe me, it was incredible.
- I can't do one of these posts without including a face mask selfie! Here I am with my all time favourite Lush mask, the mask of Magnaminty.
- This month I had a Five Guys for the very first time, yes I know I am seriously late to the party. I had a strawberry milkshake with my meal and it blew my mind. Hands down one of the best milkshakes I have ever had.
- In January I took the plunge to get false nails for the very first time. I just got french tips nothing to fancy but I fell in love with them. I thought I wouldn't be able to do anything for myself in them but after the first day, I was moving trends and changing bars at work and they didn't even get scratched! They lasted about four weeks and I probably should have got them off a week earlier as they were so out grown but I didn't want to get rid of them. They are off now sadly and I decided to give my nails a rest before I get some more at the end of march for a wedding I am going to.
- Now another food photo... Cal and I have our own favourite curry house which does the best curries so when I had a weekend off we went out for a little date night there. My curry (which is the best) was a Chicken Tikka Masala (left) and Cal's curry was a Dansakk.
- Two friends and I spent a random day in London in January and we done loads! We went to the typical sightseeing places, went to oxford street and went shopping, went to the ice bar on regents street and finally had a late meal at TGI Fridays. We ordered cocktails like true Londoners.
- Here is my Ice Bar selfie! The capes weren't too amazing but they kept us warm for sure! You pay £15 to enter the bar for 45 minutes and for a free cocktail. We lasted about half an hour before we got too cold and left to feed our bellies. It is beautiful inside though and worth a look if you are in London.

Considering I have an overly large travel make up bag, my skincare bag is relativity small and all pretty different to my last skincare post. Link Here
I have considerably reduced the number of products I use on my face on a daily basis in the last few months and my skin went through a horrible period over Christmas so I swapped around all my products again in the last month. This few products are what works best for me at the moment and I have no plans to change it any time soon.
Starting with makeup removal I like to use the Garnier Micellar water as it gets all the dirt and makeup off my face so easily. It works wonders on eye makeup which is something I dread taking off everyday. This product also doesn't dry out my face which is one of the reasons why I love it.
To wash my face I have been using this Spotless Daily blackhead Scrub which I purchase from Wikos at the end of last year. It is really cheap but it has become a really loved product lately, especially when my skin was at its worst. You can use it three different ways; with a lot of water to use it as more of a face wash, with little water to use it as more of a face scrub, or in the middle for a softer scrub. Hope you got that!
A new product to my skincare is the Lush Eau Roma Water (post) which paired with the Blackhead scrub has completely rescued my face. Unlike most other toners it leaves my skin hydrated and refreshed and I think it has been one of the factors in clearing my skin.
I have been loving using the Origins Out Of Trouble face mask lately as a night mask on any lumps, bumps and spots on my skin. It reduces the size of them considerably and the redness surrounding any spots.
My last two products are moisturiser for the eyes and the face. I like to use the Lush Enchanted Eye cream during the day to brighten up my eye area. Then I like to use the Clinique Dramatically Different moisturiser to give my skin extra love during the night and on the days when my skin is extra dry and my toner isn't enough to quench its thrust .

LaRoc is a brand that I have never really heard of before. I stumbled on this amazing palette by chance on eBay when I was hunting for bargains on the website, as you do. When I found this palette of 88 different shade for only £4.99 I couldn't say no! For that price even if they weren't very pigmented and I only used them for base colours I didn't mind at all since I had 88 colours to choose from.
I am excited to tell you all that the pigmentation of these colours is in one word - amazing. The shade range is incredible with the colour ranging from white and greys, to nudes to golden browns and taupe's. Plus you don't just have one shade of each colour, you get around 5! This is a great palette for people who love to do natural everyday eye shadow but it also has other shades that you can create a good smokey eye with and vamp up your makeup for the evening. You also get a few extra crazy colours like the grass green, dark green and fushia colour, just in case some days your feeling adventurous. There are 45 shimmer shades and the rest are all matte shades perfect to use as a base for the shimmer colours. You can already see big dents in some of the shades where I have worn them no stop recently.
Now the part you have all been waiting for... are the eye shadows good quality or not?
They are definitely great quality eye shadows especially for the price and size of the palette you get! The eye shadows definitely pack a punch when it comes to pigmentation and the texture is really creamy so you know they will last. To make the most impact I like to use the smudge brush that comes with the palette to apply the product to my eyes as normal eye shadow brushes don't pick up or transfer much product. These eye shadows last all day on my lids and don't need a top up or pick me up during the day which I love. Lastly the shade of product that you see in the palette is a true colour match for the shade that appears on your lids, too often does a eye shadow look slightly different on your skin to how it looks in the palette and then it ruins the look you were going for.
The packaging of the palette is very sleek and no fuss which I like although it does get dirty very easily, especially when im switching back between my products and I still have makeup on my hands. Good that about this palette is that it is super easy to clean thank god! Yes the size of the palette isn't ideal for traveling but what do you expect if you want all 88 shades in one place? The palette is ultra slim so you can fit it in your luggage somewhere!
I own a lot of eye palette now (slaps wrist) and I always seem to come back to this palette for shimmer shades to use on top of other eye shadows as the shades work with any eye shadow and add that extra bit of glam to a make up look.
This palette would be great for a present or great to buy for yourself if you want a palette which has everything in. You can find this palette here.
I love a good walk around a little village or a country park on my day off or during the evening. It clears my mind if something is bothering me and helps me think of new ideas or make decisions that are playing on my mind.
Here is a list of reasons why a good old walk makes life easier...
Here is a list of reasons why a good old walk makes life easier...
- the peace and quite of the countryside
- the great views which take your breath away
- the house hunting opportunity
- being alone with your thoughts
- the chance to catch up and have a good chat with someone during the walk
- the creative juices that flow while your mind is free
- the good old fresh air - sometimes you need it after spending all morning in bed watching films
- the excuse to get your best fluffy warm coat out
- the good feeling you get when a old couple say hello to you on your walk because they are just that polite
- the gardening inspiration
- the chance to get out of the house
- bumping into dog walkers and coo over their fluffy friends
For two days I stayed round my sister's flat while she went away (the lucky thing) and so I thought this was a perfect time to update my Travel Makeup Bag post. Now I have named this my Extravagant make up bag because I know that the contents of this bag is a bit excessive, I blame the size of my makeup bag! Enjoy my Makeup Bag guys!

It is crazy to think that it is the end of January already and I have a few great products to talk to you about today.
Starting with skincare, I have been using the Lush Eau Roma Water Toner no stop since I purchased it this month. I was having a few skin problems at the time when I purchased this and I hoped it would fix my face with its magic and I'm happy to report it actually has. I spray two pumps of this toner onto my hands and then smooth it all over my face. It leaves my skin super soft, moisturised and feeling clean.
Another product I have been using non stop since I purchased it is the Newlook | Pure Contour Palette in the shade Brown Pattern. I saw this palette open on the counter in Newlook and knew the light contour shade would be perfect for me and it was! It is my perfect shade to contour with and has brought the fun back into powder contour. Everyone is commenting on my contour game recently and most people are shocked to know the product in question is by Newlook.
On them days when I'm being really lazy and want a more casual look, I use my trusty Revolution Contour Stick. This is my favourite cream contour shade ever! I have quite a few cream contour sticks in my collection but I always reach for my Revolution stick over all the rest recently!
My next favourite is a new lipstick of mine by the Bodyshop which I have reached for most days since Christmas. This was one of my Christmas presents from my sister and it is a perfect shade for me. I have never owned a Bodyshop lipstick before now and since trying this product, I want to expand my collection. The formulation is so creamy and moisturising on my lips, they leave my lips healthy even when they are having a dry day.
Lastly I have a product which has become a staple in my makeup bag this month. The Lethal Length Mascara by Sleek is great for big individual leashes. This is the only mascara I have been using on a day to day basis this month and if I do go out anywhere fancy or want to make more of an effort, I can up my mascara game but going over my lashes again with the mascara to add even more volume.
Call me a nosey parker but I do love reading posts about peoples bedrooms, houses, make up collections and hand bags. I'm sure everyone is like me and keeps everything no matter how random in their handbag including the kitchen sink, which makes carrying it around the hardest chore ever. The one time I do leave something at home you can be sure I will need it that day!
Today I'm giving you nosey parkers a look inside my handbag for the first time - The handbag I am currently using is my River Island Christmas present from Cal which I loveeeeeee! (sold out online sorry!)
- My empty purse (river island)
- My house and car keys (including fluffy cat ball)
- My work notebook which has important info in
- My mini notebook for writing blog post ideas
- An array of 3 different lip balms -currently two baby lips and a EPOS
- Current Perfume -Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue
- Mitchum Underarm Deodorant (for them annoying hot flushes...)
- Benefit Boiing concealer
- Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
- A little hair clip which I don't leave anywhere without, it is basically a part of me
- 3 black hair bands
- My Newlook bobble hat
- My BodyShop Strawberry Hand cream (the best thing ever!!)
- Chewing Gum -for obvious reasons
- A big bundle of tissue (unused!)
- A packet of pain relief tablets (usually for Cal)
- An array of make up brushes which I used first thing that morning
- My watch -that I probably took off around 2 o'clock when it started to annoy me
- A pair of head phones -which I forgot I had in there so never used
- An lastly my phone because I am lost without it
I told you it was going to end random! What random things do you find in your handbag which make you question why there were put in their in the first place?
I thought it was about time I updated my post on my favourite films to cheer me up as I have fallen in love with some great films since my last post and January is always a depressing month.
Love Rosie
Love Rosie
I love love love this film! For many reasons, the first being Lily Collins is my girl crush and I want to be her. Secondly Sam Clafin is not sore on the eyes at all and his character is so goofy and cute. And lastly I love the story line, falling for a best friend myself I really love watching stories about the same thing.
Penelope
If you love cute romance but not tradional films then you will like this film. Penelope was born with a pig nose and the only way she can get rid of it is for someone of her own kind (filthy rich) to accept and love her, not an easy task. It stars Christina Ricci and James McCavoy who shock I have a crush on so I enjoy watching it. It has a really cute ending with a good meaning behind it.
Paddington
This movie makes me smile so much. It's a typical British comedy so has loads of great British actors like Peter Capaldi and Julie Walters plus its full of British humor. It is a really cute story line and is really heart felt throughout and makes you feel all warm inside.
Blended
No one really understands my love for this film but I can't deny that I love it. I love most of Adam Sandler's film tbh and I went to watch this at the cinema and thought it was great. Firstly its set in Africa so the scenery is amazing in all the shots. It is about two single parents finding love again so it has some real cute moments together, but mainly it is just hilarious.
Pitch Perfect 1+2
How could I not have already mentioned Pitch Perfect yet? I was one of them girls who was obsessed with this film when it first came out so naturally I went to the cinema to see the second film straight away. It always perks me up and gets me singing (badly) Plus Anna Kendrick is a bad ass in my opinion,

So my dry January didn't last very long... I promised myself (and Cal) I wouldn't buy anything this month and I went to London on Tuesday with my friends and we had a little lookie in Lush and Newlook and I found some goodies. Like I always do.
My only justification for any of these products is I had to repurchase the Mask of Magnaminity. I had a little melt down earlier this month when I realised my beloved tub was quite a few months out of date... not that you could tell! It broke my heart to through it away but I thought it was probably the best option. This time I picked up the big sized tub since I go through it quite quickly. It is my favourite ever face mask and leaves my skin so healthy and clean. I have included it in a few blog posts already including my Top 3 Face Masks and my Lush Skincare Collection.
The second mask I purchased was the Rosey Cheeks fresh face mask which I have been hunting for for ages now. Quite a few people spoke about this face mask on YouTube and it was always sold out in my local Lush so I had to get it when I was in London. It is to combat redness on the face and I sure have a lot of redness on my round face. I've used it once already and it left my skin really soft and even.
My last Lush product is the Eau Roma Water Toner Water which I am really interested to try. I used the Tea Tree Toner a few years back and didn't think it was anything special but the woman in store said that this toner is great at putting moisture back into your skin and I sure need that right now.
The first Newlook product I purchased was the Mattifying Primer in their beauty range which had been recommended to me by at least 5 people. When 5 people you know like a certain product it usually means there is something to it. I haven't tried it yet but if it is as good as everyone says it is, you might see it very soon in a favourites post.
Lastly my final product is the Newlook Pure Contour Palette in 29|Brown Pattern which I am really excited to use. All the contour shades are matte which was one of the reasons why I wanted to try this out so badly. The packaging is your basic palette with a huge mirror so that is a plus side. As for the contour product I am yet to use any of it but I am planning on writing a post detailing whether this is worth the £6.99 or not. Keep your eyes peeled!

Skincare has to be without a doubt my favourite subject to talk about. Although I don't experiment with skincare as much I do with make up, I have been trying out new things and growing my collection this year.
My favourite moisturiser of all time has to be the Clinique Dramatically Different Cream. I started a love affair with Clinique Moisturisers at the beginning of this year when I bought the 3 step starter kit from feel unique. Since then I have not used any other face moisturiser as nothing makes my face feel as amazing as this moisturising. This love affair has made me drag Cal around all the beauty shops in Barcelona to find my favourite formulation... you know its love then!
My favourite eye cream is the Lush Enchanted Eye Cream. This became a firm favourite of mine right from the start as it is so thin it sinks into the skin within minutes so it is a perfect product to use before applying makeup. It really brightens the eye area and makes me look like I have had a better sleep then I actually have. This makes it a perfect product for uneasy sleepers like me.
My favourite facial wash is the Clinique Liquid Facial Shop in Mild. Facial wash is something that I like to change up regularly as I tend to get bored of washes quickly, the clinque wash is a product I always end up going back to after I have tried something new out. It makes my face look and feel much cleaner and all round in better shape.
My favourite face scrub is the A-M-A-ZING Dr Organic Rose Otto Face Scrub. Oh my this scrub is the best face scrub I have ever used! You feel so clean and refreshed after using it and the amount of rubbish it scrubs off the your is amazing. It can leave you skin red sometimes but it doesn't last long and it means it worked.
My favourite face mask of the year is the Lush Mask of Magnanimity. I have spoke about this mask loads of times on the blog and I wrote a whole blog post on my Lush collection which includes it here. It is the perfect mask to use in the morning to wash up your skin and yourself.
I lastly have two favourite cleansers to end the post with. The first cleanser is the Lush Ultrabland Cleanser which is my holy grail when it comes to removing my make up. It melts away everything on my face so all I need to do is wipe my face with a flannel and I am done. The second cleanser is the Lush Dark Angels cleanser which I love to use to cleanse my skin of dirt and to deep clean it.

2015 has been my year to experiment with makeup and I have enjoyed every moment of it. I have quite a few favoruites that I go back in between so narrowing it down to one was quite difficult. I have cheated once and picked two products.
My Favourite Primer of all time is the Revolution Ultra Face Base Primer. It is the best budget primer I have used yet and it leaves my skin so super soft I feel like a new born baby! -Yes it is that soft!
My favourite foundation of the year is the L'oreal Infallible 24 hour Matte foundation, I can never go wrong with this foundation. It covers all my redness on my cheeks but never looks cakey on the face. It is very light weight but still has great coverage.
My favourite concealer is the standard Collection Lasting Perfection concealer. I have spoke about this concealer numerous times and it has never left my make up bag, it covers anything and lasts all day.
I have two bronzers on this list that I couldn't pick between because they do two very different things. The Benefit Hoola Bronzer is a all round perfect summer product that suits my skin tone really well and gives me a great summer glow. My other product is the Clinque Chubby Sculpting Stick which I love to use on comfy or no make up days to give my face some definition. It is also a great contour product for nights out.
My favourite blush product from the year has to be The W7 Honey Queen Homecomb Blush. I am not the biggest blush fan but when I do wear a little I like to wear this mix of blush colours together on the apples of my cheeks. It is more of a darker blush so it doesn't look too much on my face.
I have become a much bigger fan of highlighter this year and I have quite a few that I go in between which are both powder and cream. The highlighter that I have been reaching for the most these past few weeks is the Newlook Baked Highlighter in 93 Gold. This is the perfect cross between a bronzey glow look which I have been opting for quite a lot lately.
My favourite eyebrow product has to be the MUA Power Brow Highlight and Shape. It is so easy to use and you can't go wrong with it. The brow nib is the perfect shade for my hair and the highlighter is a great add on to define your brows.
My favourite eye palette has to be the first palette I bought this year, the Revolution Redemption Essentials Matte 2 Palette. This year has been my year to discover the wonders of eye shadows, before this year I had never touched a eye shadow and now I buy a new one every month (much to Cal's dismay). The Revolution palette is my favorite because it has everything you need to do a simple day look or a ramped up night look. I particularly like to use this palette for smokey eye looks.
I haven't worn much eyeliner this year as I prefer the look of mascara by itself as it looks softer and more wearable, but on them days or nights were I have wanted to go a bit more bolder I have used the Lord + Berry Kohl liner. It is really easy to use and great to smudge out to create a bolder effect.
My favourite mascara of the year is the L'oreal Volume Million Lashes, my mascara collection has grown considerable this year but when I want to use something I know for sure will work, I pick this mascara. It is really good at separating lashes and opening out your eyes.
I found it really hard to choose a favourite lip product but in the end my love of Newlook nude lips trumped all my other lipsticks. My all time favourite nude lipstick of the brand is the Camel shade. I wrote a whole blog post all about the lipstick which you can read here.
You can read my post from last year here. Comment below with links to your end of year favourite posts, I love reading them for future reference when i'm next make up shopping!

Last year I wrote a blog post called My 5 Most Popular Posts From 2014 and although the name of the post has changed, I am going to talk you through my most popular posts from 2015 too. Some of my most popular posts from the year are posts I put a lot of effort into and so I am glad they are my best received posts.
I'll start with my fifth most popular post and work my way up and that post was my Pure Lips post. This post was all about some new lipsticks I had purchased from Newlook. I still love these lipsticks and recently posted a second post all about more Newlook lipsticks that I bought recently, read that post here.
My fourth most popular post of the year was my Why Lily Collins Will Forever Be My Girl Crush post. I got a lot of love for this post so a lot of people must share my love for the girl. I basically list all the reasons why I love the girl and why I want to be her. If you love Lily too have a little read!
My third most popular post was my Best finds on eBay and Tips! post and I really enjoyed writing this post as I had never seen anything like it and loved how it came out. I do love a eBay shop and this post shows you all the great bargains I have bought over the years and gives you a few tips for buying great quality products on the site.
My second most popular post was my How To Style | Ripped Jeans post which was my fifth most popular post for 2014. Fashion posts are something that I really enjoy writing but very rarely do which is something I want to change in 2016.
My most popular post of 2015 was my Kiko Universal Fit Hydrating Foundation which I wrote in January of 2015 and for the whole year it has been my most read post with 1059 views, that might not be a lot to some of you but to someone like me, that is a lot of views! If I am being totally honest with you, I have no idea why this post has become so popular but every month this post is my most viewed post.
This year has been a good year for myself and my blog and I finally feel like I am finding my own style of blogging. I can't wait to see what 2016 brings and hope that I still enjoy blogging then as much as I do now (which I know I will already)
I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone who has followed me this year and also to the lovely people who have been following me prior to this year. I appreciate you all so much and hope you all have a lovely new years day and hope you all have an amazing year.
Origins is a brand that I have wanted to try out for so so long and now I have collected three Origins face mask and it's time to let you all know my picks. There are so many different types of Origins face masks that it can be hard to decide which one to try and trust me, I spent at least 20 minutes picking each mask. These are the three masks I own, so far...
The Quick Fix - Origins Out of Trouble mask
This is a mask that contains Zinc Oxide and Sulfur which you leave on your skin for 10 minutes and it helps to soak up excess oils, gets rid of dead cells and debris. So far I am really liking using this mask on my un-tamable spotty chin and I do think it is helping.
The Wake Me Up - Origins GinZing mask
My favourite type of masks are ones that really wake me up and give a energy boast to my skin and that is exactly what this mask does because of the energy boosting Coffee Beans, refreshing Cucumber and soothing Hoelen Mushroom. It is a really nice mask for the mornings and is part of my morning routine.
The Deep Cleanse - Origins Original Skin Rose Clay mask
This clay mask is a god sent when my skin doesn't want to do anything some days. I cover my entire face in the mask and sit back and relax in the bath and after I take it off my skin feels so clean and refreshed. It's a good mask to banish pesky little spots that wont go away because of the Mediterranean rose clay, Canadian willow-herb and exfoliating jojoba beads. I am currently using this right now as well as the Out Of Trouble Mask to combat my spotty chin.
These are three masks I am really enjoying using at the moment and I am excited to try out some more Origins skincare, I think my new purchase will be the GinZing Energy Boosting Moisturizer which I really want to try out.

I absolutely love what is on TV over the Christmas period and this year I have not been disappointed. After looking through the TV magazine I am even more excited about some family time around the TV on Christmas eve and Christmas day. Now I know Christmas is more than just sitting round the TV obviously but my family do love a good film to watch together in between board games and quizs (yes we are one of them families).
