Pink About It
All Tied Up

Whenever I order something from 'Fragrance Direct' I always get a few of these with my order because they are such a bargain! These lovely Essie nail polishes are only £2.50 which is a fraction of the RRP of £7.99. I love the darker brownish pink as its quite a sofisticated colour for work, and the baby pink is a shade I have been wanting for ages! It's such a flattering and cute colour, and this one has a nice little hint of glitter that you can only see in the light.

They don't have the whole color range on Fragrance Direct but definitely worth a look if you're curious!

Good Vibes.

I can't believe it is already May tomorrow! Where has the year gone?!
It's hard to believe I have been back from Toulouse for a whole month, it has really flown by. I miss it so much, but I am so happy with everything right now. Good times ahead :)

Got myself an Internship...
After months of applications it always turns out to be the job that your dad finds in the local paper doesn't it? But noetheless I recently started my 3 month internship and i'm really enjoying it. It feels great to be doing something with my day again, and getting paid whilst I do it is always a bonus of course!

Joined the Gym...
Just so happens I get a gym membership with my job so it's the perfect opportunity to get fit for the summer months! I am really looking forward to getting active again.

Getting back into studying...
One of my lecturers last year told me about MOOCs (Massive open online courses) which are majoritively free. So the other day I decided to give one a go and enrolled in a 'How to write for the web' course - quite relevant in my life right now! If you are interested yourself, you can browse here, they have courses on anything. I will keep you posted on how this one turns out!

Booked a trip...
I am going to Vietnam! I have had travel on the agenda for my summer for months now and with a job secured I thought there is not better time than the present! So in August I will be jetting off for four weeks to Vietnam with RealGap. I am sooo excited.

Lots to look forward to! How was your April?

Spring Fling

 Playsuit - Oysho

Cardigan - Primark

Spring in the UK is by no means hot, so my 'spring wardrobe' needs tights with pretty much every outfit.. However when the sun came out for a split second I couldn't resist finally having an excuse to wear this cute playsuit from a shop called Oysho. I descovered this shop in Toulouse and it has the most adorable underwear, pyjamas, sportswear, and summer clothing. And from just googling it now I see they have an online website! So check it out here. I cannot wait to be able to wear this in the summer!

What are you excited to get out of your wardrobe this Spring?

Sweet-tooth

Cute little Easter cupcakes that I baked!

Did you have a good Easter weekend? Mine was pretty standard - filled with a lot of chocolate! I haven't posted in a few days as I have just started my new job! I am officially an intern. So far so good but I have to say its a struggle to get back into the 9-5 routine! I am shattered.

Anyway, I hope you had a fantastic long Easter weekend. Lots of posts planned for later in the week - stay tuned :)

Everyday Make-up

My everyday make up is pretty simple these days, I gravitate towards neutral colours mostly - I can't get enough of my Naked Basics pallette! 

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer
Maybelline Bronzer
Rimmel Apocalips
H&M Eye Brow Kit
Maybelline Falsies Mascara
H&M Highlighter
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
Collection liquid Eyeliner
17 pencil liner
Urban Decay Naked Basics Pallette

I recently picked up this eyebrow kit and highlighter from H&M and they are actually really good! And quite affordable too. As you can probably tell I love Rimmel Products, especially since descovering them in savers (see my last post about that here). And finally my favourite eyeshadow at the moment has to be the 'Naked 2' shade in my Naked Pallette as a simple wash over the eye looks like I have made a lot more effort than I actually did!

What are your favourite everyday make up products?

The 'Pleather' Skirt

Skirt - Primark Sale £3
Top - £5 - Pull & Bear

I have been looking for a 'pleather' skirt for ages but every time I found one it either fit weirdly or was waay to expensive. I then came across this beauty in the corner of Primark on a Sale rack for just £3! Absolutely love it. Everyone needs a bit of leather in their wardrobe.

Savings at Savers

I recently descovered the little gem of a store which is Savers. If you live in the UK you need to check out this drugstore - it isn't the most aesthetically pleasing but it has such good deals on so many brands! Here is what I picked up recently...

1. St Moriz Starter Kit - £2.99 for set of three (tanner, exfoliater and moisturizer). I have yet to try this but being of a very fair complexion I have decided to test this out this summer. I don't mind being pale but a bit of colour on my legs always gives me the confidence to get them out a bit more!

2. Garnier Cleansing Water - £2.99 You may have recently seen my blog post about cleansing waters and I saw this in Savers and decided to give it a go. With the similar packaging and from what I have used of it so far I would say its a fantastic dupe for Bioderma! Definitely worth a try if you are lazy with my skincare like me.

3. Rimmel Products - all £5 or less. This is the main reason I pop to savers - the fact that I can get my favourite 'Wake me up' Rimmel foundation for just £4.99 as opposed to the RRP of £7.99. Every thing is less than £5 which makes most products a lot cheaper than you would find in Boots or Superdrug!

4. Cleansing Wipes - 3 packs for £1. These are just cheap and cheerful no more to say really.

If you have a savers near you definitely check it out for some Beauty Bargains!
