Baywatch Inspired Beach Wishlist

Baywatch is back with a new film installment and with summer finally here I decided to create a beachwear wishlist inspired by Baywatch, all of the pieces that I have picked are available on ASOS as well as their respective sites; so lets get started.

 First up, the most important part; the swimwear, I chose a more classic Baywatch style red one piece with a low back and thin crossover straps and for people who prefer I have picked out a red scalloped hem two piece.

Now for coverups I again, picked out two. First a classic white beach coverup with red detailing on the pockets with red tassels, if you were to wear it with the red one piece you would be able to see the crossover pattern of the straps because the coverup has a low back. Now my second choice I absolutely fell in love with, it is a red dress made of sheer chiffon, the bodice and the skirt are joined together with knots at the waist. 


Lastly for the accessories, because its a beach or pool day look that i'm putting together I simply chose sandals, a beach bag and some sunglasses as to not over compliment the looks. 



Bag, £25| Sandals, £22| Sunglasses, £11



I hope you have enjoyed this post,

Waiting For Summer| Outfit June 2017

As you probably already know, its summer now but in the UK the weather is still very much bouncing back and fourth between sun and rain, hot and cold and trying to find an outfit is extremely frustrating. But here is an outfit compiled of some of the key staples in my wardrobe at the moment. 


The first is this California lace up tee from Primark, I have seen so many bloggers and youtubers with this shirt and I couldn't help to pick it up myself. 


I love this light blush pink faux leather skirt from Zara; because it incorporates one of my favourite trends of the last few years - paper bag waist- I don't know why I just love this trend. 


Lastly are my white white Converse, like most people I just love Converse and they can be paired with almost anything. 



California lace up tee: Primark, £8
Faux leather skirt: Zara £9.99
Converse: £45



Thats all for today, thank you for reading

KIKO Smart Colour Eye Shadow Review

Im loving eyeshadows at the moment so I have a few reviews coming, but first; here is a review of KIKO’s Smart Colour eyeshadows. 


They are in quite durable plastic packaging with a clear lid, I love that they are so small because you could easily fit them into your makeup bag and take them anywhere. 


Now on to the actual product, there is a good range of colours from you to choose from. The formula is so buttery and creamy, with absolutely no fall out. On to the colours I have got, I only picked up two which I now regret, I wish I had more. I got 04 Matte Cocoa and 16 Metallic Orchid Violet. 


Out of these two shades 04 is my favourite, it is very pigmented, it is buildable so you could have a day time look or smoke it out for the evening. I also like 16 but it as build able, it is a more sheer and it is easier to use your finger with this one rather than a brush where as 04 works either way. 


But at £2.50 I can’t complain, I am going to buy more, I hope you have enjoyed this post, if you have any suggestions on other eyeshadows I should try please leave a comment.

February Birchbox | 2017

Hello lovlies, I hope that you are all well. Today i'm reviewing my February Birchbox as i'm sure you all guessed from the title. I fell in love with the design of this box as Birchbox have collaborated with Papier to create this months box.


I the design is white with green leaves printed on with a green draw, this design is so simple but also seems exotic to me, kind of reminds me of paradise, also with this box we have received a  25% off voucher for Papier.com, which is amazing because I love stationary. The voucher also has a quote on the back from F. Scott Fitzgerald, and as a blogger I love this quote.

'You don't write because you want to say something, 
you write because you have something to say'

So first off for the products I received a Spectum Collections Tulip Eye Contour Brush, as you know I love Spectrum products and this is no different, it is white and rose gold so i'm sure it will be a fan favourite, and it is super soft.


Next up I got a Pop Beauty eye shadow trio in Champagne Mocha, and I was so surprised by it, the texture of the shadows are so creamy and buttery with no fall down and they are well pigmented. 



Next up is a Keeome Hydration Mask Therapy, I haven't tried this yet but i'm looking forward to it as i'm really into face masks at the moment.



I also received Beaver Professional Daily Moisture Conditioning spray, I did like this but I don't think it works as well in my hair as other hair products I have received, but it smells amazing.


Lastly and my favourite of all is Whish shaving cream in Asia Grapefruit, now for me this product was sent from the gods, I absolutely  bloody love it, all the years that iv been shaving my legs or getting waxes or using cream, my legs always reacted badly to it. In fact a lot of the time it was quite painful and no matter what I tried to use it didn't work, so I didn't really expect much from this but OMG I LOVE IT. I do have to say though, the smell isn't that greats, but everything else I love, a little goes a long way and my legs are super smooth after with no irritation. I will definitely purchasing it again. 

Anyway guys, I hope you have found this post helpful, as always thank you for reading!

January Birchbox | 2017

If you guys have been following a while, you will know that I am a subscriber and in the past I have only Instagrammed about them. But for once I have decided to put them into a post so that you lovely people can see in better detail what I got.


First off lets all take a moment to discuss how cute this box is. It is white and sunshine yellow sprinkles and draw which is adorned with 'sprinkle happiness', perfect for the new year if you are into that sort of stuff - new year, new me- new phase of the sun.

So starting with the the products, my favourite is the Merci Handy Hand Cream, I usually buy hand cream, use it once of twice and forget about it; but not this time. I love this product, from the smell, to the texture and it is definitely helping my hands through this winter season.


Next up is the Lord and Berry Concealer, it is super creamy and it is actually the right shade for my skin it does blend easily and if you blend so much then it almost all disappears, I haven't worn it long enough to say whether it it has a good lasting power, so stay tuned on Instagram to see my final thoughts.

 The nail varnish in this box is a Nail Inc Foil Polish in Kings Road, now I don't wear nail polish because I have serious nail polish issues, like a seriously put it on and feel uncomfortably and I immediately take it back off. But if I was to pick a nail varnish I would 100% pick this shade and I did some browsing on their site and fell in love with so many of the shades.


I also  received Kebelo Clarifying Shampoo which I was excited about because I am currently in a love/hate relationship with my hair, but I am a bit disappointed, I don't know how to explain it but my hair didn't feel clean, it felt like there was a layer lingering over my scalp. the only thing I liked about this product was the smell and it made my fine hair feel thicker.

Lastly I got Nior  London Rejuvenating Cream, I haven't used yet because I am testing out a few new skin products at the moment and don't  want to just test them for a few days and start switching to new ones, so sorry about that. But I think I will start using it because it is to supposed to soften wrinkles which I don't have yet but I think I want to prevent them.


Well guys I hope you have enjoyed this kind of post, comment if you would like to see more Birch Box related posts. 

Thank you for reading!

Lush Valentines Collection | 2017

Hello lovlies, welcome back, I had planned to post this earlier on but you know me; I'm hardly ever on time because I have been concentrating on university. But as you have probably noticed it is valentines day and as you also may have probably noticed Lush always release a valentines collection so now that I'm out of student halls I picked a few things up; then realised that I have no water pressure in the bathtub taps to actually run a bath, I usually just have showers. But anyway, this is what I got.



Cupid bath bomb:
- Im not always one for floral scents but this bath bomb won me over, it isn't over powering and at £2.95 its a steal.


Lovestruck bubble bar:
-Just look at it, no more needs to be said.



Love you, love you lots soap:
- Once again this is a floral scent but it is subtle and sweet, it has a lovely creamy texture.



Over and Over bath bomb:
-Its orange, okay? Orange!



Ladybird bubble bar:
- I was a little reluctant to pick this up because it has peppermint oil in it but I can't actually pick that scent up at all but for me it is a little to much and I'm a little on and off about whether I like it, but the design is super cute.



Lover Lamp bath bomb:
-I love this, it has a simple and very cute design with a floral but fruity scent, its smells like chocolate but it also smells like a flower bed, win, win right?



Kiss Me Quick shower card:
-Its brightly coloured and its fruity, I mostly just bought this because it is something I have never seen before but I actually really love it.


Thank you for reading, I hope you have had a lovely Tuesday and a good valentines day.
