A little update...

So, it has been a while since I last blogged. Just over two months in fact. I don't really have any excuses to be honest except for I had no motivation, I had a few personal issues & life just generally got in the way! From now on I think my blog will just be a place for me to document my life & upload pictures just for my benefit so I can look back on it & remember. I do enjoy blogging and I love putting together wishlists & reviewing products so you may occasionally see some of that on here.

First things first though, lets have a little update via the pictures I have taken over the last two months.

 The G dog being an absolutely cutie / a night out for a friends birthday / A little visit to Westfield for shopping, a wagamamas & seeing Johnny Depp!! / Me & the boy made Burritos for the first time & they were delicious! / Loved these nails done by one of my friends <3

This poem made me laugh :) / there is always time for a mcdonalds breakfast! / I was finally reunited with my best friend after 8 months of her travelling in australia! / Aimee's 25th birthday <3 

Me & my boy <3 / Happy times xxx / Me & Scott @ Wireless festival / Me & Aimee / The main stage / Cute summer nails <3

Such a beautiful sunset on Tuesday evening / Lanterns xxxx / An impromptu shopping trip landed us in Wagamamas - with Cat & Aimee :)

I suppose I have had quite a fun couple of months. However, the last few weeks have been a bit surreal & I feel like I have gone through a roller-coaster of emotions. Back to work & back to blogging will help me get back on track I'm sure. I do enjoy sharing my life on this little part of the internet so hopefully I won't go AWOL again :)

Nicole x Missguided

So what its only taken me a fair few months to actually get round to looking at Nicole x Missguided & I now want everything! Except those slouchy leather trousers... those are a bit strange...

The collection is made up of monochrome, cobalt blue and a whole lot of bodycon! I've picked my favourites & wanted to share them with you. I really thought the pieces would be more expensive than they are, I think that's why I didn't look at the collection for so long. However the items are between £15 and £40 which is actually really affordable. When i was browsing I also thought how simple & timeless they are; they will be wearable for years & will never be unfashionable.

It was hard for me to narrow down my favourites. I looked at everything and just thought 'wow'! I definitely cannot pick a favourite out of these outfits and I am so tempted to buy them all when I get paid next week... The first two outfits only link to the top so this is the link for the midi skirt & this is the link for the biker leggings. 

What are your favourite items from this collection?

Lots of love,

ELF Lip Balm SPF 15 in Rose

ELF Lip Balm SPF 15

Prepare for the first of many ELF reviews to come because I ordered a shed load with a 50% discount & I love almost every single thing so I want to do reviews for you guys :)

First up we have one of their lip balms which also has a bit of colour to it. This is in the shade 'rose' and probably the only shade I would ever wear. Saying that, I would probably buy the Nude colour but when it comes to lip balms I like them to be as natural as possible. This shade just sort of adds that 'my lips but better' look.

In terms of packaging i think its really sturdy and easy to just pop in your handbag to use throughout the day. I've been using this now for the past few days and I can say it does make my lips feel really moisturised & soft. Also with it having SPF in it you don't have to worry about your lips getting a bit sunburnt which always happens to me. 

On first application it has a really strong minty smell which I absolutely love - some people might not like that which is understandable. It slightly tingles on the lips which I also love, and then the smell & the tingling goes after about 10 seconds. It doesn't really have a long staying time like most lip balms but the colour is still significantly noticeable after an hour or so which is good for a lip balm in my opinion.  

Overall, I really love this product & for just under £4 I may have to buy the Nude...

Have you tried any other ELF lip products before? What are your recommendations?

Lots of love,
