Nails of the Day #1

I'm doing this post on my phone so I'm not sure how well this will work but it's worth a shot! I wanted to do something a bit different on my blog so I thought nails of the day was a quick easy and fun post to do.

On my nails I'm wearing Beth's Blue and Freak Out! Both by Models Own. Freak Out! Is my friend Maddie's nail polish as we're always together when we paint our nails.

Beth's Blue is a lovely pastel blue/lilac. it goes on so easy and only needs one to two coats as the first coat is fairly opaque, definitely a bargain for £5.

Freak Out! Is a lovely chunky glitter with little sparkles in it, I definitely need to get it or myself and stop borrowing it off Maddie.

Kate Moss 107 Review

I bought this lipstick a couple of days ago. Ive seen so many amazing reviews of this lipstick and I've wanted it for months now. I was scared to buy it because I dont really wear lipstick so to spend £5.49 on this in Boots was a big jump for me. Its also quite a deep berry colour which is definitely out of my comfort zone.

I'm not sure how i like the colour on me however its grown on me after trying it on a few times, the texture of it is lovely though, it glides on really easily and it doesn't feel cakey on your lips. Its really smooth and creamy, it almost feels like lipgloss but without all the horrible bits like your hair getting stuck in it. Its definitely matte howver it has a slight sheen to it so its not just one dimentional. The colour is opaque after one application and doesnt make your lips feel dry. definitely a winter must have!

Most Worn Winter Things Tag

I was tagged to do this by my friend maddie shes lovely, I highly recomend you to look at her blog.

1) Most worn nail polish?

This was the first models own nail polish I ever bought and I'm so glad I got it, I wear this all the time. Utopia is the perfect natural colour as its different to any other i've seen.













2) most used hair product?

 This is the most amazing hair mask i've ever used, it makes my hair so smooth and my split ends seem a lot less noticable. If you have dyed hair and you're fed up of all the split ends that come with it then I would definitely recomend this!











3) most worn bag?

I've had this bag for about a year now and its lasted me well! My only issue with it is that the lock broke off about a month ago. I bought it from topshop for £40 and i'm glad I spent the money on it because its very hard wearing.






4) most worn shoes?

 I got my all black vans for christmas but I haven't worn any other shoes since, they go with everything and are so so comfortable, I dont know where i'd be without them now.








5) most worn accessory?

 I dont really wear a lot of accessories but I find myself reaching for my Dixi above knuckle ring a lot as it just adds a lovely touch to an outfit.












6) most worn clothing item?

 I love my vans top because its just so simple and so easy to wear. I got this new with tags on ebay for £10 and i'm so glad I got it.













7)most worn foundation?

 This foundation has lasted me so long and its so lovely, it has a light-medium coverage and is easily buildable and leaves my skin looking flawless. Its only downfall is that it makes me look pale.











8) most worn blush/bronzer?

 I bought this MUA bronzer for £3 and didn't expect much from it however I was plesantly suprised by it and I find myself reaching for it a lot. Its not orange, its just a my skin tone but better colour and I dont think i'll be getting a new bronzer anytime soon.










9) most worn lip product?

I love the body shop lip butters they leave my lips feeling so mousturised and soft and they're so easy to just throw in your bag. I'm hopefully buying Rimmel 107 tomorrow to try out as i've heard nothing but amazing things about the Kate Moss collection.

New Years Resolutions

I thought that doing this post would be nice as I wanted something to look back to at the beginning of 2014 and see how much things have changed and whether I even stuck to my new years resolutions. This time next year I would have left school, got my GSCE's, had prom, started college and would be almost exactly a month away from being able to drive, this seems crazy as it feels like last week that I first stepped foot in my secondary school yet so much has changed since then.

Resolutions

1) Do well in school - I always find myself slacking in school and thinking none of it matters and then when its too late realise I probably should be doing work. So from now on im going to buckle down, try and do more revison and listen more and hopefully come out of school with grades I can be happy with and say I tried my hardest to get.

2) Drink more water - this is something I tried to do last year yet it never really happened, but this year i'm more determined and hopefully i'll find myself reaching for water instead of a can of Dr Pepper. Im not going to give myself a certain amount to drink a day because it'll never happen so im just going to see how it goes.

3) Smile more - 2012 wasn't a nice year for me and I often found myself feeling sorry for myself and moaning about the tiniest thing so whenever I feel upset I've just got to remember that i've got amazing friends and family and theres always something good in life even if it only holds the smallest amount of hope.

4) Lose weight - I'd love to feel amazing in my prom dress and know that ive worked hard to get there, thats not the only reason though I just need to get healthier and change my life style even if its only small changes for the better.

5) Keep up my 2013 memories jar - I think it's easy to think the worlds always on top of you and far to easy to forgot good things so hopefully thing will help my remember that things arent always bad.

I hope you have an amazing 2013 x x x

New Year Haul

1) Vanilla and violet incense sticks
I bought these in Burley originally and they smell so good so when I saw that you could get them in bulk packs on ebay, I jumped at the chance to get some more as they're so calming.

2) Butterball bath bomb
 This bath bomb smells so lovely, its full of vanilla, calming and musky scents and it also contains cocoa butter to keep the skin supple and moisturised.

3) Magic Wand by Lush 
This smells exactly like the snow fairy shower gel or the marshmallow bath melt that they sell all year round. Unfortunately this isnt on the website anymore but you can still find it in some shops. This is perfect for people that love sweet, girly smells.

4) Dragons Egg bath bomb
This bath bomb looks so fun, its full of citrus scents and popping candy and glitter. It looks so lovely and I cant wait to try it out,

5) Nail Polishes (Models Own - Peach Puff, Barry M gel, Essie - Aruba Blue)
Probably everyone of my blog posts so far has a Models Own nail polish but I love them so much, Peach Puff is the perfect orange because its not bright its more pastel and less in your face. I was sceptical about buying Barry M because I generally dont like the textures or the drying time of Barry M but I was so intrigued by the gel colours that I just had to get one, and I definitely wasnt let down. Last but not least I took the plunge and got an Essie nail polish! I think you know your nail polish addiction has gone to far when you spend nearly £10 on a nail polish but this colour is literally my dream colour!

6) Sweet Dreams soap
My friend got this for christmas and when I was going through what she got with her and found this and instantly fell in love, it smells exactly like pink grapefruit and the stuff from boy shop and its was in the sale for £2.50.

7) Kiss Me Quick - hot fudge body butter
My friend also got this for christmas and the only way I can describe the smell is that it is literally the stuff of angels. I got it in a set(half price in Boots) because the smell is so good.

8) Yankee Candle - Christmas Cookie
This smells just like cookies in the oven but it definitely isn't too overpowering, its just right! Its just smells like vanilla and cookies.
 

What I Got For Christmas

1) Models Own box set 
So so so happy and grateful that I got this, if you know me you know that my obsession for Models Own is ridiculous so this was so perfect! The colours i got were as follows: Southern Lights, Ibiza Mix, Indian Ocean, Beths Blue, Pastel Pink, Mixed Up, Scarlett Sparkle, Lili's Pink, Smash Up - Black, Hot Stuff, Thunder and Lightening, Red 'n' Black, Soda Pop Pink, Peach Puff and Lemon Meringue.

2) Kindle Fire 
This is so so lovely, my mum knows me so well. If you have/are thinking about buying this, please do its so good, the screen quality is so good and it has apps unlike the other kindles, the only downfall is that there's not an Instagram app.

3) Hello Kitty mug
This is one of the cutest presents I got because its so girly and perfect for a nice cup of hot chocolate.

4) Black Vans
I got all black vans as well for christmas from my dad which I've wanted for so long because none of my other vans dont go with everything so that was so good to get.

Hope you enjoyed, I love seeing what other people got for christmas so I thought it would be a nice blog post to do. Ps I didnt make this blog post to brag, I am so so so so so ridiculously grately for everything I get. Hope you all had an amazing christmas and a happy new year xxxx
