Spring/Summer Bags!!

I love all things springy or summery! I have found a few of my favourite bags that are new this summer and put them together or you! Enjoy x

So first is this lovely daisy backpack. The daisy pattern reminds me so much of summer and is just so cheerful. I actually own this bag, I think that it is really good because it fits so much stuff in it and is great for school. I also comes with a detachable IPad case so it's a win win situation!

Next is another Accessorize bag, which I personally think is really cool. Get ready for the big reveal....

It's just so quirky and modern. It is great because it could be used for a casual outfit or a more dressed up outfit, to me it's perfect!

£25.00

I'm hooked on the Accessorize website. To. Many. Nice. Bags This bag is so adorable! It reminds me of lemonade, for obvious reasons, and seems like the perfect size for Holliday essentials.

This Topshop pineapple bag is a perfect bag for hand-luggage or days out! Being a backpack makes it really easy to wear and also really comfy and the pineapple print is beyond words. Sorry about the blurry image :0.

That's it for this blog post because I don't want to bore your socks off, I hope you enjoyed it!

My Top Five Favourite Youtubers

Hi! sorry it's been so long I've had a busy two weeks. So today I thought I'd just tell you about some of my favourite youtubers. You will probably already know most of my top five but I hope I can enlighten you to someone new. Without further ado, let's begin!

1. Charlieissocoollike

You've got to love him! I like to think of him as King of You Tube but maybe this is because he is the first youtuber I watched. He is my favourite youtuber for so many reasons but the main one has to be his adorably nerdyness if you don't already watch him than I highly recommend you do! Charlie's You Tube channel is linked here :).

2. Zoella

Zoë has the nicest clothes I have ever seen, mainly because i share her obsession with collar tops, on a side note I do also love a peeping collar as well. I am also very covert all of her makeup (especially the MAC stuff) She is a great youtuber and also has adorable guinea pigs so I suggest you check out her channel here and her blog here.

3. Sprinkleofglitter

Louise or, if you prefer, sprinkle of glitter is also one of my favourites ! Louise and Zoë have the most lovely friendship which makes their collaborations even more enjoyable! Louise reminds me of the Miranda Hard of You Tube because she is so funny and likeable. I definitely recommend you try out her channel and also her blog

4. Crabsickz

I don't quite know how to describe Crabstickz to you apart from the fact that he is completely hilarious and slightly insane. If you're looking for a funny youtuber then what are you waiting for? Go on his channel NOW right here.

5. Itswaypastmybedtime.

You may have heard of Carrie from Les Misérables in which she is totally amazing, in fact I was lucky enough to meet her at the stage door! She is as lovely in person as she is in her videos. One of the reasons I enjoy her videos so much is because she posts little and often which makes her videos really interesting especially if your attention span is as short as mine. She is seems to be tallented at everything, see for yourself here for her channel and here for her blog.

I hope you enjoyed that!

See you soon (I actually mean it this time !)

Bye xxx :)

My Top 5 Lush Favourites

Hello !!!

Long time no see (awfully sorry about that). Well anywayz back to the blog. Today I am going to inform you all about my top 5 lush favourites:). I really do love the lush stuff as it always smells so delicious and well... yummy. I find that after using my lush things my skin is really super soft and clean which is always a good sign. I will link the product in the name if you are interested in further information, which of course you will be when you see the potential of these items. For excitement purposes I am going to start from 5 and go down to one so let the blog begin.

5. Phoenix Rising Bath Bomb

This  bath bomb is super fabulously amazing <3. I love it because it's so dark and shimmery and it pleases me very much to see shimmer in my bath (oh yes I went there). There is an actual stick of cinnamon inside it for extra goodness. The great thing about this is that the shimmer doesn't stick to you to much so that in the morning you will be less of a glitter ball and more of a subtly shining star. Overall it would be a 4/5. 

4.FUN

This is super fun as you may have gathered from the creative name. My favourite is the pink one as it is a really pretty baby pink. It smells amazing, it is a really sweet yet floral smell so I definitely recommend it to you, this gets a 4/5.

3.Creamy Candy Bubble Bar

I haven't actually tried many other bubble bar apart from this one and the Christmas penguin one (which is really cute btw). It is safe to say that those where good experiences :). In the future I want to try out some more of these as I have really liked them. They are really easy to use and can last for a lot of baths which is definitely a bonus. All that you have to do is crumble them under a warm tap and enjoy, so for ease and first impressions this gets  a 4/5.

2. Tisty Tosty Bath Bomb 

This bath bomb is unbelievably cute, as you can see it has little rosebuds inside of it so that when you have your bath they float on the water. I found out from the website that it is actually based in a medieval love potion which is even more adorable. It is also great as it is quite understated and not in any colour that's too garish, from me it gets 5/5 (YAY).

1. Dragons Egg Bath Bomb

This is the ultimate bath bomb, it has everything you could ever want in a bath bomb! It has everything from confetti, to popping candy, to gold shimmer on the inside. What more could you possibly want ??? I can't say anymore as I don't want to ruin the experience for anyone who may want to try it. This gets  a 5/5 and a smiley face :).

I hope you enjoyed that post sorry about the length of it.

Bye

My Favourite Winter Nail Colours

I hate painting my nails but I do love having painted nails, because of this minor setback I usually get my friends or family members to paint my nails :). My favourite colours are these ones below, in no particular order. Enjoy :)xx

As with many other nail polishes I am not quite sure of the name of this Jessica nail varnish, or the price for that matter. I assume that the price would be about £7.50 like many of the other of the 7.4ml colours. It is a really nice deep red that spreads really nicely and is very easy to apply. It doesn't chip that much and dries quite well.

Next is a colour that I know next to nothing about, this is because it was a present from a friend for my birthday a few years ago. I think that it may be from boots though I am not entirely sure. It is looking a little battered but hopefully that doesn't distract from the colour. It is a really pretty and shimmery gold which is a great Christmas colour especially with the tiny bits of glitter. It is not the best quality but the colour is amazing.

This colour is another unknown brand/name/price from the same set as the one before. It's quite old but has stood up to the age (yay). The deep purple is a really nice dark winter shade that has tiny bits of subtle shimmer in it. It looks really nice to wear and has a really regal feel to it.

Now for my Barry M colours which I love as they are so well priced but such good quality. Firstly I have a normal one in the shade bright purple (inventive). It costs only £2.99 which is a great price as it lasts really long and is perfect for autumn/winter. It is really great if you don't want a shade that is too dark but you do want a pop of colour.

Finally my second Barry M colour. This one is not strictly a winter shade, however I really like it as it reminds me of icicles and snowy days. It is quite a cool shade but it is a really pretty blue. It is one of the 'high-shine Gelly' colours and I really like these ones as they last really long and take only a few minutes to dry they are also super shiny:). It is a great price only £3.99, overall I love it :D.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed xx

Accesorize 'Lovely Day' Eye Palette

This eye palette contains some amazing colours for every season. It includes summery creams and pale blues, to wintery navy shades and greys. It also has some really a shimmery gold and copper which are great for autumn and definitely my favourite shades. As well as these shimmery shades it also has some great matt shades.

Accesorize Palette

I personally think that the picture on the website doesn't really show all the shimmer that well so here is a picture of my rather damaged palette.

Sorry for the rubbish photography

It comes in at £10 and with 32 different shades I think that's not to bad and it would be a great gift.  The only problem is that it is quite flimsy and the colours can may smash but apart from that I love it and definitely recommend it.

Natural Collection Spot Cover-up

 The Natural Collection cover-up is a great alternative to a normal blemish stick. It is a green colour meaning it cancels out the red of a spot and leaves an even tone where you can then apply your usual cover-up. This is only £1.99 which is a very reasonable price considering how effective it is. It also has a very nice creamy texture which makes it easy to blend. I usually find that it lasts for up to 4 or 5 hours which is a good amount of time if you are intending to wear it to school.

 Underneath are some pictures of the product :)

It is a good small compact size (roughly 5 cm tall).

Here is what it the actual stick looks like....

.....and finally here is a swatch of it on my hand.

Overall Thoughts on the Product

I think that overall it is a very neat, well priced product and it is also very easy to use. I was not expecting such good results from such a little product!

4/5 stars.

Below is the link for the Boots web page on the green cover up stick.

Winter Socks
Since it is almost officially winter I have decided it is time to bring out the winter socks. Here are a pair of mine I bought recently, cough*September*cough, from Matalan for £6.00. They have special grippiness on the bottom to stop you from slipping and they also have a soft fluffy lining to keep your toes extra toasty in the winter months.

Minus a pom-pom :(
