#OOTD

Hi Guys

Here's a little outfit of the day post for you! 

I've recently bought this little combo from peacocks. The vest is just from there basics range and is one of my fave colours. 

I had originally tried these shorts on with a bright yellow bandeau style top and it did look really nice, but I'm not much of a yellow person, so opted for peach! Although with these shorts there are so many different colours you could put with them to make a different look!

The shorts cost just £8! Bargain! And the vest was just £4. I did buy these for my holiday but as its been a lovely hot day I thought I would bust them out today! 

My sandals are just my new look ones that I wear quite often as I love them, and they just got perfectly with the outfit.

Review - B Makeup Brush Cleanser

Hi Guys 

Anyone tried this then?

I spotted it in Superdrug and thought I would try it. I've been looking for a reasonably priced brush cleanser for a while now. And in saying that this one costs £4.99.

I do actually mean to pick up the boot no7 one as I've heard that's really good.

I can't say I had ever seen/heard of this brand of before which also intrigued me. (Love a new product). On the Superdrug website it says that this cleanser is a gentle formula that is great to use on natural and synthetic bristles which is very correct. Both types of bristles cleaned really well. I also really like the fact that it would be a fab product to use for a makeup artist to quickly clean brushes in between clients, as it dries super quick and is antibacterial.

Great for everyday use between deep cleans, because come on, ain't no one got time for deep cleans every week! Hahaha!

I will just get a flannel, squirt on some of the cleanser and swirl my brushes around until clean. It does remove the makeup really quickly.

I only really have one bad thing to say about this product, and it is something that would probably put me off purchasing it again. The scent of it is horrible! I just really can't stand it. 

Anyone who can recommend any other good cleanser to use please let me know.

New Bag Love!

Hi Guys!

I have a new found love and it's the shape of a bag! I spied this little beauty in Primark.

I Hadn't seen it in there before and I'd been looking for the perfect evening holiday bag and this is the one!

Sounds dramatic but bags are important lol. 

I went for black which a lot of people wouldn't necessarily take on holiday, but I have so many different colours to wear in the evenings I've played it safe. Plus I'm not one for taking loads of different bags with me. Beach bag and evening bag will do me! (And of course any I find to buy to bring home! Haha).

Tassels as we all know are bang on trend right now so obviously I had to jump on the bandwagon and buy one. It cost just £7 and is the perfect evening bag size. It has a long strap which can be made to whatever length you wish. Which I like for holidays as I do tend to like a cross over bag. (I'm always paranoid of pick pocketers abroad!)

The hard wear on it is gold which I love and it has a zip along the top. Inside there is a zippy pocket and another pocket for your phone on the opposite side.

Can't wait to use it! Under 7 weeks to holidayyyy whoop!

Battle of the Micellar waters!

Hi Guys!

So what else Is there to do on a Sunday morning at 8am other than blogging right?

No idea why I'm up this early on my only day off however it seems a good thing, as I've been soooo busy with my day job I just haven't had time to blog.mso sorry about that guys.

As you can see from the title of this blog I'm reviewing some Micellar waters I've been trialling over the last few months. I have 4 that I've used but could only picture 3 as I seem to have lost one of my empty bottles.

So the first one I tried was the Garnier Micellar cleansing water. This beauty retails at £4.99 but it is often on sale. It's a great size bottle too at 400mls. There are several types you can buy but mine was for sensitive skin and is perfume free.

It does say 400mls = 200 uses. I can't say I got 200 uses however I didn't count. I did like how this poured out though, which may seem like a strange thing to say but the loreal one was a nightmare. But it did seem to last well. This one was perfect for taking off eye makeup including waterproof mascara. It literally just melted it off.

So on to the Loreal skin perfection Micellar water. This is the same price as the Garnier but only half the size. So that was my first fail with this one. 

The product itself was really nice to use, and again took off waterproof makeup well. 

However, as I said this one for pouring out was a nightmare. I felt like I used the bottle up so quickly because it would pour out so quick and so much at once. This one is also good for sensitive skin and fine to use on eyes, even though there was a slight decent to it.

Next was the Simple kind to skin Micellar water. This one is again only 200ml and costs £4.49. It pours well and seemed to last really well too. 

Being in the simple range it's perfect for those who do suffer with sensitive skin, so it was perfect for your eyes too.

I don't think this one melted off my makeup quite as well as the Garnier one, but it was good to use too.

Finally I've recently been using the Superdrug Gentle Micellar water from the vitamin E range. Again it's just 200mls however it's only £2.99 so a great price. 

But... It's definitely my least favourite. It smells sooo nice and is ok to use on skin, but on your eyes no! It stings! Even though it's called gentle Micellar. It's definitely not. So whilst using this I've used my simple wipes to remove my eye makeup and then this to remove my face makeup.

In my eyes I'd much prefer one of the others that I can just use all over my face.

I do have to say though all 4 that I've tried do remove all reminents of makeup and left my skin feeling really clean and fresh. Also none of these have made me have any break outs which is a big bonus for all of them!

Hope you've found this helpful. Let me know what your favourite Micellar waters are!

Summers Day Outfit!

Hi Guys!

Thought I would share an outfit post with you again, as like I said before I want to get more into doing fashion posts.

This was just a casual daytime outfit on a hot sunny Saturday, and boy was it hot hot hot!

The picture was taken later in the day as the sun was going down.

I can't link my skirt as it was from Primark last summer. (Sorry)

I'm definitely not one for skirts normally but when it's super hot they can be so cool to wear. Especially as I'm such a jean lover.

It's a high waisted skirt in my favourite summer colours, coral and mint green with a little white and black. I just paired it with a basic black strap top from Asda and my Primark sandals which have cute Daisy's on them. 

You may still be able to get these as they were this years collection. 

My necklace was also from asda and I think it does dress the outfit up slightly.

Hope you enjoyed this post. Please leave me a comment if your liking the couple of fashion posts I've done.

Summer Evening outfit #1

Hi Guys!

Super sorry I haven't blogged lately. I've had a few issues in being able to upload pictures to my blogs, and what's a blog with out pictures. Anyhow the issue has now seemed to resolve itself Yay! So I can start blogging again. 

Today I'm doing my first plus size outfit post. I wore this on the Saturday just gone when we went out for a birthday meal for my other half mums birthday.

It was just one of those outfits that just made me feel good and I loved wearing it.

Top - Sainsburys £12 

Jeans - Wonderfit jeans from George Asda - £18

Sandals - New Look - £7.99 

Necklace & bracelet - Links of London

The top was brought fairly recently so it may still be in stock. I haven't been in new look recently so no idea on sandals as I got these last year. They did have the same designs in, the last 2 years so they may have them or something similar in again. 

I literally will just live in sandals now until it's too cold to wear them. There's always a pair suitable for either chilling in the day or going out in the evening to go with any outfit. 

Hope you enjoyed this post. Please let me know if you'd like to see more fashion plus size blogposts.

Collection Eyes Uncovered

Hi Guys

Soooooo.....I'm totally late to the party on these little beauties I know BUT oh my goodness!! They are beautiful.

I had meant to pick these up along time ago but every time I thought about them they were always sold old. Or they didn't have all 3 in stock and I wanted to look at them all together in person to decide if I wanted to buy all 3 or not. And naturally I did end up buying all 3. They all have they're own unique colours, and don't even get me started on the pigmemntation.

Here is all 3 palettes swatched.

My favourite palette has to be the bronze nudes. Just look at the gold and bronze colour. Love them! But alsp suprisingly I am loving the grey nudes too for that silver shade.


I also got these slightly cheaper than normal too. I think there normally £3.98 and I got them for £2.98. Not a massive saving but every little helps as they say. Haha.


Here's me with a makeup look using the bronze nudes palette.

Overall I think these palettes are brilliant for the price and if like me you still haven't grabbed them then you should. Pigmentation is great and they do last so well. I had it on all day and went out In the evening and didn't even really need to re-apply as colours hadn't creased or anything.
