YouTube | What's In My Bag




Hey there! This morning I uploaded a new video over on my Youtube channel. You can have a little nosey into what's in my bag! I personally love to film video's that I like to watch myself and this one is definitely one of my favourites to watch! i just love a good nosey into someone else's bag! It also gives me ideas on what other things I could carry around in my bag to make me more organised! I love (I try) to be organised!

I hope you enjoy!

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick "In Love with Ginger" Review

Hi there! Today I wanted to share with you a new favourite lipstick of mine! I do tend to shy away from the red/orange colours because I had always thought, red hair, red lips, is a complete no go. But I couldn't have been more wrong! I love the way it looks on me, especially against my fair skin.

This little guy ticks a loooooot of boxes for me! It is the Moisture Renew Lipstick by Rimmel in the colour "In Love with Ginger". It glides onto the lips so smooth and glossy! Usually with such a bold colour I have to apply a lip liner before hand, but with this being so smooth there is absolutely no need! This is also because the colour doesn't go on completely opaque (at first), so you can go on with your first application following the shape of you lips and then add a second application concentrating on the middle area. Leaving you with a beautiful opaque finish. I find this technique works best to create the perfect neat lip. 

This lipstick dries matte, but don't get me wrong I wore this all day and I seriously forgot I even had any lipstick on! There wasn't any rough, cracked feeling, it just felt like my normal lips. Moisture renew? I would agree 100%. Usually after wearing a matte lipstick all day I'm raring to apply some lip balm. But na'ah, not with this one!

Another one on my tick list is longevity. One application of this lasted me a whole lot of time,  the photo below was taken 7 hours after my first application. Yes it did fade as the day went by, but that is to be expected with a lot of eating, drinking and talking going on. But the best part was that the colour faded evenly. There was no patchy coloured lips going on and they were left looking like a lip stain. 

This lipstick creates such a easy to do gorgeous look. I have been going basic on the eyes with only mascara, my usually foundation and bronzer, then finishing the look off with this bold, statement lippy! Easy peasy!

Mexican Food & Imaginary Gardens

This Sunday me and my friend Rosie had a little lunch date planned at a restaurant called Nacho's. It's a gorgeous Mexican restaurant that Scott and I had been to before where we tasted the most amazing nacho's!!! Duh, of course they were amazing, they named the bloody restaurant after them! ;)
From Nacho's we ordered the chorizo and chicken salad...
a ton of fries and a lot of mayonnaise to accompany...
... and of course we had to have the chilli con carne nacho's! Mmmmmmmmm
I also ordered a beer, which for me is very, very weird!! I am usual the wine kinda gal but I really wanted to order a Mexican beer to prepare for my holiday, which FYI is only 18 sleeps away!!! I then discovered today that Peroni isn't a Mexican beer and I was actually thinking of Corona. Damn me! Peroni, Corona, pretty close?!
You can probably tell I don't drink beer very often... oops!
One of my favourite things about the restaurant was the cute cow print chairs!! I am very easily impressed! All our food was amazing, we got little side plates and shared everything out between us! I particular loved the chips, they were so lovely and crispy! I am in fact a very picky chip eater, I hate it when chips are too potatoy!! These had the perfect balance of crisp and potato!
By the time we'd finished eating lunch and catching up it was about 4 o'clock! We didn't want to end the day yet so after searching on google a lot a lot of time we managed to find a local garden centre that stayed open till 6.  We tried on these little flap caps, weirdly it suited Rosie rather a lot, while mine had to balance on top because my head was too big!! 
We pottered around for a long time and found some adorable bistro tables! I particularly loved the pink one in the middle! I can just imagine sitting in my (non-existance) garden drinking tea with my friends!
I then fell in love some more with this cute wired bicycle! They were in so many different sizes and colours!  I think they're such a great idea for putting little plant pots in the basket for your garden!
I couldn't believe how much lovely stuff they had! They even had a fish tank area and a reptile section! These bearded dragon's were so funny, they kept coming up to the glass staring at us!
These are my favourite kind of days, spending time with my friends relaxing and eating good food! We had such a fun day laughing, catching up and choosing furniture for our imaginary gardens! Now I really want my own garden that I can decorate with all this cute stuff! Oh and have an afternoon tea party on my bistro table with a china tea set!

DAISY PANTS!

Forever 21 Crop Top / Dorothy Perkins Daisy Pants / Aldo Handbag / Primark Sandals
Yesterday I spent the day with my friend having lunch and wondering around our local garden centre! The weather was beautiful so I went for a white strappy tee, but unfortunately for me I haven't been able to master the art of keeping a white t-shirt, white, YET! Since the age of being able to feed myself, I have been a very clumsy eater! Needless to say I spent the last 10 minutes in the bathroom cleaning salsa from my top, until a lady walked in while I was trying to dry myself under a hand dryer, classy! I paired this white crop top with my ever so comfy daisy print pants! What I especially love about these pants are the elasticated waist, winner! FYI these jogger style pants are in the sale online at Dorothy Perkins with 30% off! Along with everything else on their website with up to 30% off. Enjoy!
