America Holiday Haul

Hello everyone,

I am finally getting round to doing my America holiday haul for you all, I have got quit a lot to show you ranging from makeup (obviously) through to some teddy's! Also I haven't shown you presents I have got people because they may be reading!

Duty Free - Gatwick (South terminal)

I do like to treat myself at duty free considering the price differences, so from Mac I brought 3 eye shadows which are Wedge, Charcoal Brown and All That Glitters, Sweetie lipstick, Mac 234 eye shadow brush and the Erase Paste concealer from Benefit.

Sephora

I finally went to Sephora while in America which you would have seen from Florida day 2. I brought a canvas makeup bag saying ' I would cry but my makeup is designer', the Sephora eyeshadow in the shade Cashmere Coat, a Spehora eyeliner in Girl talk, the Bite travel size lipstick duo in Fig and Date, the Anastasia Dip brow pomade and the number 12 brush with a angled eyebrow brush and spoolie.

Walgreens/Walmart/Target

Then from the drugstores I brought 6 EOS lip balms and a EOS hand cream because they are amazing I would highly recommend these. I also brought the ELF small stipple brush to go with the NYX cream blush in Boho Chic, the ELF smudge pot in Crusin' Chic, the ELF eye shadow C brush and the lip balm tint in Berry.

Bath and Body Works

Well I brought 20 hand sanitisers from the best place in the world! I got a mixture of scents such as Pineapple Sorbet, Dazzling Diamond, Emergency Stache, Pure Paradise and many more. I also brought one of the holders.

I also brought 6 of the travel size body sprays in the sets cashmere glow, sweet pea, Japanese cherry blossom, paris amour, pink chiffon and endless weekend. They smell beautiful if I had my way all of them times 5 would have been in my case!

Victoria's Secret

I didn't buy much from Victoria's Secret because I already have a lot of their sprays! I brought the Mango temptation body spray, the mini Noir Tease body spray and two of their lip glosses in Love berry and Candy baby.

Calvin Klein 

I have wanted to buy a CK underwear set for the longest time, I had waited for America because I knew they would be much cheeper. I brought the white bralette and matching knickers.

Miscellaneous 

I brought 3 shot glasses one Miami south beach, one Florida and one Mimia beach one because I am now collecting shot glasses, one from every country I go to. I also brought a Miami pen and magnet.

While at universal I brought a little minion because minions are my favourite thing! I also brought a Universal Studios Shelby tree decoration. Then at disney I brought a Mini Mouse and a S key ring with some disney faces on.

Michael Kors

I did get another Michael Kors watch, this time a rose gold one with a blush pink rim in the middle. The watch is called a MK-4288, I am not too sure why the rose gold has came out orange looking but their is a better picture here.

That is everything I brought while I was in America!

Miami Day 5 and 6 - Boat Trip, Famous Homes and Shopping

Hello everyone,

I have a combined Miami day for you, yesterday we went on a boat trip to see the Miami skyline as well as the rich and famous homes well mansions to be honest. Then today we had a relaxing stroll round the shops along Washington Ave.

Day 5 -

This is one of the many pictures I got of the skyline from the Boat, we done the Millionaire's Row Cruise (Link). I loved this cruise because you got to see everyones beautiful mansions and the views were amazing of Miami itself.

These were some of the houses, I love this one in the middle it's beautiful! All these houses ranged from millions of dollars to thousands of square feet. 

These houses were owned by many different people such as Elizabeth Taylor, Julio Iglesias and even some houses that Shakira had rented out. It was great to see theses houses up close, I love dreaming about what my house could look like (hopefully some of these)!

Just another close up of the lovely homes.

Day 6 -

Like I said we went shopping, I only got somethings in Victoria's Secret but had a browse in a few more shops.  I went to Dash Miami as well! I tautly forgot their was a Dash in Miami, until I saw their bags pooping up everywhere round the hotel. It was lovely inside everything was quit expensive but you expect nothing less from the Kardashian Sisters.

Their was also a Mac opposite Dash, also on the subject of Mac the woman at Gatwick told me that their brining out a Whirl lipstick, I am holding out for it since I have been wanting the lip liner so badly.

Victoria's Secret was a lovely shop I mean size wise, they had a upstairs of Pink and down stairs for underwear etc. I brought my mum a little present as well as something for myself.

The beautiful mothership, I didn't go into Sephora because I would buy the whole shop again but I took a picture of the shop for memory purposes. 

Well that was today and yesterday! Tomorrow is our last day! :(

Miami Day 3 - Shopping and Chilling

Hello everyone,

For Miami day 3 we decided to head over to the Sawgrass Mills Outlet  centre to pop into a few shops I only got a few things from Victoria's Secret because they were having a crazy sale!

This was the view this morning from our balcony, I also love this Snapchat stickers their so cute! The sea looked beautiful with this lovely gradient as the sea gets deeper.

I thought I would take a lovely picture of my VS bag against the view this evening, as I said the sale was so good, they had some body sprays for $5 and the lip glosses 7 for $24, the prices are much better over here compared to back in the UK, also the prices were even better because it was an outlet.

I also mentioned the book I was reading yesterday, well I have been reading it for a week and now I have finished it! It was a lovely book with a very meaningful story behind it. This is a great read and I would high recommend it, I may do a book review on it this month. I am now onto reading Juvie by Steven Watkins.

This is the view this evening I thought I would show you what I am currently looking at! I love sitting on the balcony looking our at this beautiful sea.

I'll see you tomorrow!

Haul/ Pandora, YSL, Victoria's Secret & more

Hello everyone,

Lately I have brought a lot of things, and thought that I would show you because I haven't done a haul in ages! I have probably forgotten a lot of things but this is some of the things that came to mind first. I have a collective haul from Lush, Pandora, YSL and many more, which I have collected over a week or so.

The Lush easter collection is out! They do some of the cutest things but I only picked two things up so far because I have too much. But I brought the Fluffy Egg bath bomb which is a signature one every year (£2.95, link)and the Hoppity Poppity bath bomb which is so cute! (£2.50, link). 

Then from Victoria's Secret I picked up yet some more body mists, they are the best things ever and smell great! I brought the Pink wild at heart body mist (Two for £18, link) Then because it was two for £18 I brought the Relax soft glow body oil because it smelt amazing, but this also made my skin glisten which would be perfect on holiday! (Two for £18)

If yo follow me on Instagram then you would have already seen this, but I got a new pandora ring (my 5th on) to add to the collection, this is the delicate bow ring (£40, link). Then finally a YSL rouge Volupte lipstick in the colour 01 (£26, link)

Them moving onto clothes I have brought two new dresses from Miss Selfridge  the first one is the black body con dress with a lace detail in the middle (£28, link), lastly for the dresses I brought this black body con dress with a off the shoulder sleeve, this is beautiful on so classy by simplistic (£15, link).

Lastly for Miss Selfridge  I brought this black clutch which says 'Tres chic' on the front, this is a simple clutch but it hasn't detail to it, this is also going to look amazing with everything! (£16, link). Then in the sale I also brought this burgundy crop top, with a triangle shape bust. (£12, link). Lastly from Miss Selfridge I finally brought some white jeans, this are  super high wasted and so comfy they fit like a dream! (£34, link).

America Wish List

Hello everyone,

I thought I would give you a extra blog post this week considering I am not that busy this weekend. If you didn't know I am going to America this summer, and I have a few things I really would love to buy and thought I would let you take a look.

Starting from the top, I have heard a lot about Bath and body works, and I really want to try their hand sanitisers and their body mists, because I want some nice smelling ones! Also I want another EOS Lip balm because they were amazing, and I seemed to have lost mine, but sticking with the lip category their is one lipstick brand which I have wanted one from and that is YSL, I really have to wanted to try their Rouge Volute lipsticks, I really want a coral/nude pink for everyday. A big item now is a Kate Spade planner, since I am going to college hopefully this year I really want to get super organised, and I would love a decent planner to help me get organised. Onto makeup again I have wanted the Anastasia dip brow pomade ever since I have got into my brows, it's looks really good! Then onto a beautiful palette which is the Hourglass Ambient Lighting blush palette, this looks stunning. Something from Victoria's Secret is a makeup bag, I have a few things from them but I have always wanted a makeup bag especially the white and pink stripes. Ok then the more expensive side of things to start off with the matte Ted Baker purse is something I want, ever since I got my Ted Baker purse for my birthday a few years ago, I have feel in love since, and the matte black one is high on my list especially in pink? Then hiding in the corner are two lovely Michael Kors watches, this is my favourite designer especially for jewellery, and since I got my gold Michael Kors watch I have wanted a silver and rose gold to complete the collection!

I thought this was something nice so I can remember the things I really would like when I go to America.

My favourites of 2014!

Hello everyone,

I can't quite believe that we are coming to the end of 2014, this year has gone so quick and because it's coming to the end this means a favourites of 2014 post! 

My favourites -

Makeup -

My first makeup favourite of 2014, has to be the Benefit Gimme Brow, this is a wonderful product that fills in, defines and cares of your brows! This looks so natural and only takes a few seconds to transform your brows. This can be used on it's own or over over products to set them in place.

Onto a lipstick, this is Mac's Lipstick in Creme cup, this is a great everyday lipstick and I have got a lot of use out of it since I brought it in August. It's a pigmented baby/nude pink, this is very creamy hence it being a cremesheen.

I think I found one of my favourite foundations through out this year, and it's the Bourjois 123 perfect, this is a correcting foundation with three pigments, yellow for anti-dark circles, mauve for anti-dull complexion and green for anti-redness. This is a great drugstore foundation, because it looks natural and helps to prefect any imperfections.

A powder that has had a lot of hype this year, is the Soap and glory one heck of a blot. This is a translucent and fine powder to help mattify your skin, what I love about this the most is that it doesn't add any colour to your skin, and doesn't make you look orange or even too pale, because one colour fits all.

The Nuxe Reve De Miel lip balm is great, it's a perfect all rounder, perfect for under lip products, perfect for dry and cracked lips but also it excels for hydrating your lips. This is one of the best lip balms I have tried, and I love this for every day.

Moving back onto Bourjois, I brought quite a lot of their Colour Boost glossy finish lip sticks. And long story short I have fallen in love with the two colours Orange punch (03) and Plum Russian (06), they are very glossy and look lovely on the lips, because they are a glossy lipstick they don't stay on the lips that well, but they are so easy to re apply that I don't mind topping them up.

Their is one mascara that I love, and that I will love for a long time, this is Benefit's They're real. A great mascara for getting length, but holding a curl and giving great volume!

Another lip product, this time from Sleek, this is their Matte Me lip creme in the colour Petal (435). This is a very pigment matte pink which is more of a baby pink. This looks matte and beautiful on the lips, and has great staying power.

Another lip product I love which is the Lush Santa's lip scrub, this is a paste scrub which work miracles at keeping your lips looks good, and is great at the dry and cracked areas on your lips. This is limited edition for Christmas, but all the other lip scrubs are just as good,

The HD Brows eye brown and eye shadow palette is great for travelling. It has a lot of neutral matte colours perfect for a every day eye look, but you can also use the colour to define your brows. It does a good job at filling in your brows, and then if you use the Benefit Gimme Brow on top, your brow game is very strong!

Lastly is a makeup product that is a stand out of 2014, or my ultimate product of this year! This is the Benefit Brow Zings brow shaping kit. This comes with a powder to fill in your brows, a wax to set everything, a hard angle brush to use with the powder, a blending brush to use with the wax and a mini pair of tweezers for any star hairs. This is in my eye a brow changing product.

Hair -

I have liked using the Toni & Guy sea salt spray for a few years now, but through out this year I have been using it more and in different ways. This gives great texture, and beach waves. One way I like using it is to spray it in the mid lengths of my hair, throw my hair in a bun on my head, then take out when finished getting ready. Or even curling my hair, then applying this in after to make the curls more rough and and beachy.

Something more recent, this is the COLAB dry shampoo in the scent New York, this is much better than Batiste dry shampoo. This one adds more body, volume and doesn't dry out your hair, it smells amazing and is by far the best one I have tried.

Scent -

A perfume I have recently brought is the Philosophy celebrate grace fragrance, this is a hard one to describe but smells fresh and fruity, but with a slight hint of floral. A great scent for everyday and one to throw on.

Onto a body spray, this is the Victoria's Secret Endless Love body mist. This smells like Herbal Essences shampoo, and is very fruity. It is meant to smell like apple blossom and ylang ylang.

Skincare -

This year I have fallen in love with one skin care brand, which is Ren! I brought one of their sets a few months ago and haven't looked back since. The Hot Cloth Cleanser is perfect for a mini pamper session every night when taking my makeup off, it feels amazing and takes off your makeup like no other.

Another Ren product is the Daily Supplement moisturising cream. This is my day time moisturiser, it hydrates and doesn't dry out. A little bit goes a long way but also it sits nicely under makeup.

Onto a skin care item I have mentioned loads of times, this is the Palmers Cocoa Butter, and my saving grace. Perfect for any thing, for hydrating dry areas from hands to face, or even using as a after sun.

Jewellery/Fashion -

I got given a Michael Kors bracelet when my dad and step mum went to America. I have loved it since the day I got it, it is a leather wrap bracelet with the MK in the centre, this is gold and is perfect with my Michael Kors pieces. 

They are my products of 2014! Have you tried any, also I want to know what are your products of 2014? Comment below

Let's Travel// Duty Free Haul

Hello everyone,

I have finally came back from Turkey, I arrived home on Friday. I had a lovely time and don't worry i'll be sharing all my pictures and videos with you very soon. But today I have my duty free haul for you, I did buy quite a lot and it is all high end but this is the time I treat myself every year.

I am going to start off with the things I brought going to Turkey, also I was flying from London Gatwick South Terminal. 

My first stop was MAC, I was quite dissapointed because they didn't have a lot of the things I wanted in stock regarding colours and shades. But I first brought the Prep + Prime BB cream in the shade Light. I wanted a new Mac Blush, I went for the Pro Longwear Blush in Rosy Outlook. And last of all the Mac Creme sheen Lipstick in Creme Cup.

After a stop at Mac I went to Benefit, I finally brought the gimme Brow in Light/Medium, I am so excited to try this. The onto the plane I brought the Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Delight, this is such an amazing perfume, very light and summery. The last thing I brought going to Turkey was the Bare Minerals Get Started face kit.

Last but not least, coming home I also had to buy a few things. We were flying from Turkey Dalaman Airport, also a quick fact about Dalaman Airport it's one of the most expensive airports in the world! 

The best thing about Dalaman Airport is that it's got Victoria's Secret, I brought two body sprays one in Coconut Passion and Endless Love. They smell amazing and I love the packaging! Then on the plane coming home I brought the HD Brows Eye & Brow Palette, this was the shade 002 Foxy.

That is everything! Expect some more final Let's Travel posts, including everything else I brought in Turkey. Do you go this mad at Duty Free? Comment below
