Getting back to the blog


If you are a blogger you might understand this feeling, if you just enjoy reading blogs, and are still here, then you may not. I recently found myself a little stuck in terms of blogging, I've been trying to handle blogging, Alevels, a somewhat lacking social life and work over the past couple of months and its been stressful to say the least. Its safe to say my blog took the biggest hit. However after investing in a new laptop and realising how much I missed my little old blog I decided to get back into the swing of things and get back to blogging.

I really hope some of you are still here and want to hear some of the random stuff and thoughts that end up on here.

Thanks for reading,

Makeup revolution - Iconic 2 Palette




Being a beauty blogger I could not get away from the hype surrounding the launch of Makeup Revolution a couple of months ago.  Not being one to normally order online I was so excited to see it finally in my local superdrug. I bought a few things but my favourite being the iconic 2 palette.

 Its a great budget palette which contains earthy neutral colours. The colours are not just normal natural colours however as I find some are not the common colours that you would find in a natural palette. Making a great all round palette. For only £4 you get a great palette with all usable natural shades to use daily.They obviously are not the most pigmented however in comparison to MUA, they are build-able to get the strong colour you are looking for.

In contrast to the Naked 2 Palette, you get very similar colours and the same amount of product. So a definite dupe if urban decay are a little out of the price range.

Yes the packaging is a little more on the cheap side but for a £4 palette that many are comparing to the urban decay naked palette, im not one to complain.


Have you tried any Makeup Revolution products?

Whats your opinion?

Hello October



*Obviously this post is not on the blogger Hello October, just making that clear*

*picture my own*

As I’ve already mentioned multiple times on my blog autumn in my favourite time of year and October my favourite month. I’ve read a lot of hello October / Autumn  posts today however decided to do things a little differently. Instead of doing the normal ‘my favourite things about autumn post’  (which by the way are white / gingerbread  hot chocolates, sweaters, Hull fair, Halloween, girls nights in, burgundy clothes, Topshop boots, spiced apple candles, bonfire night and of course it’s nearly Christmas) im just going to ramble about bits and bobs.

At the start of this year I was writing a complete different blog to my blog now and was not enjoying it that much.  Now im writing this blog with almost 500 followers and I could not feel more proud of it. Also so far this year I’ve passed As and right now I am applying to university its feels like a massive leap forward into the real world, I really do not understand were this year has gone already.

This month is going to be a lot more lifestyle / day to day life  on my blog as I have lots of little special days planned, obviously along with the normal beauty and fashion bits. The major event this month however, which I have previously mentioned, is I am moving house *prays doesn't have to deal with no internet for too long*. So there's going to be lots of home-ware hauls, room tours and a new set up to deal with very soon. 

So is Autumn your favourite season?  What’s your favourite thing about it?

Scarlett fashion - Paisie Ocean Blue Necklace *




In my lovely goody bag from the Lincoln blogger meet, I received this down right gorgeous necklace from Scarlett fashion! Now I will say now that I will never say that I love anything given to me by PR or through blog meets ect just because it was free. However this necklace is literally my new baby! It is such my style and I have already picked out outfits that I want to wear it with. So I would like to say thank you for the donation by Scarlett fashion, I LOVE IT! I also wore it in my vlog of the meet so have a look at that (here)


They are an online fashion retailer and I've been having a good look through there website since the meet. I think I meant have to put in an order for the  Missco Girl Oversize bag as It looks beautiful. 

                                                            Thank you for reading!

Back with a BANG!

Hello all and welcome to a new chapter in my blogging life!


After much deliberation I decided to leave my old blog as it was as it was getting to the point were I wasn't happy with it and had given up. Since my last post on my old blog, a lot has changed! I've had to deal with A levels, made an amazing group of new friends, changed my whole wardrobe and spent way too much money updating my make-up collection. So now as exams are almost done and Summers in the air, its a perfect time to get back in the blogging swing of things with a new url and a new mind set, I cant wait!

So please sit back, get a cuppa tea and enjoy!
