♡ Birthday Shopping Make-up Haul ♡

Hi everyone! So this is my first proper post since I recently decided that I wanted to get back into blogging! The 17th of August was my birthday (Saturday) and I have had the most amazing birthday weekend so thank you so much to all my friends + family who made it extra special. I would also like to thank everyone on instagram and twitter who wished me a happy birthday, that was just the cherry on top of the cake! I received some absolutely lovely presents + money off everybody so thank you so much again for that. In this post I'm going to show you the makeup bits I bought with some of my birthday money when i went shopping, the products are from superdrug, boots and topshop. I hope you enjoy the post and if you would like reviews of any of the products I show please be sure to leave a comment telling me and I will get back to you asap! 

I finally picked up some of the maybelline baby lips yay! I got them in hydrate and pink punch, I've used them once and so far I really like them, they seem really moisturizing and they both smell amazing - £2.99 each from superdrug (3 for 2 with the maybelline rocket mascara so one was free)

I picked up another cosmopolitan makeup sponge (there exactly the same as the beauty blender just cheaper) this is my third one now, I love them for applying my foundation - £4.99 from superdrug

It was 3 for 2 on bourjois in superdrug so I picked up 3 things that I have been wanting for a while, I got the chocolate bronzing powder in 51 which is the lightest one out of the two shades (7.99), the colour boost lip stick in peach on the beach (£7.99) and I got the healthy mix foundation in 51 light vanilla which I have had before (£9.99) 

I already have the real techniques expert face brush and I love it so much so I wanted to get some more of Samantha Chapman's brushes because they are perfect! So from boots I got the blush brush (£9.99) and the powder brush (12.99) they are both so so soft and I already know how much I am going to love them.

I have been wanting to try something from Topshop's makeup line for quite a while now so I decided to get one of there cream blushes as I don't own many blushes and they had such a pretty colour range, I got mine in head over heels which is this gorgeous peach/coral colour and looks so natural on the cheeks and can I just say how much i love the packaging omg! (£6)

From superdrug I also got the maybelline rocket mascara which was on 3 for 2 offer with the baby lips, I've heard amazing things about this and I was in need of a new mascara so I thought I would give this a go (£7.99)

Then from boots I just picked up a few random bits and bobs that I wanted to try so I got the soap and glory hand maid hand gel (£2.50), the models own head kandi beach party nail polish (£5) and the palmers cocoa butter lip balm which was a re-purchase (£1.99)


I hope you enjoyed this make-up haul and like I said if you would like a review on any of the products mentioned please leave me a comment below and I would love to know if you have any requests of blog posts you would like me to do in the future because I am struggling to think of things to post, thank you for reading! ♡♡

♡My Love For Cara Delevingne♡

Hello lovelies this post is one that I have chosen to do myself and it has not been requested but I thought that I would tell you about my love for Cara Delevingne and where it all came from.

I suppose the obvious thing to tell you is why I love her and there's quite a few reasons but I will tell you them.

Firstly she is beautiful and she always looks perfect, she is one of the prettiest models I have ever seen and I'm not normally a huge fan of any models but I think that Cara Delevingne is just so beautiful and she just stands out. She also has a great personality (from what I have read and seen anyway haha) in lots of picture she is wearing onesies and other silly costumes and always pulling faces which shows that she is not like other snobby, posh models who think there too good for anything. Shes always having fun and shes never worried about anyone getting a picture of her when she doesn't look her best. 

The whole nation loves her at the moment and she is in every single magazine but I found out about her when everyone started hyping and uploading photos of Cara on instagram and suddenly I became obsessed and now she is my idol. I just think she is amazing, so beautiful and deserves all the attention.

♡Tips And Tricks To Grow Long Nails♡

Hello blogger friends, now my iPhone is letting me upload my photos onto my laptop which means more frequent blogging YAY. So I will start with a post that has been very highly requested on instagram which is tips on how I grow my nails. On instagram I always get asked how I grow my nails and I dont have any specific way I just have 10 tips and tricks which may help you to grow yours so lets just get into it!

Firstly I just thought I'd let you know that I don't use any nail growing products and I have had long nails since I can remember  For nail polish remover I use the Sally Hansen 'regular nail polish remover for all nail types' and it isn't a good nail polish remover to use as it contains acetone which is harmful to the nails (oopsy). I paint my nails every Sunday and I can't stand how my nails look when they aren't painted so painting them is like a ritual to me haha. Firstly I take off my old nail polish, file them in a square shape, paint them with a normal nail polish e.g. Avon nailwear pro in apricot (in the picture below) and then I use my favorite top coat over the top. The top coat that I use is Sally Hansen 'insta-dry' and I love this and I will defenitley be re-purchasing this again in the future, it literally dries my nails in around 40 seconds, makes them super shiny and stops them from chipping. 

10 Tips And Tricks That You Could Try:

1. Try and use an acetone free nail polish remover (unlike me) because acetone weakens the nails and dries them out so your nails will break very easily.

2. Try not to bite your nails (I know that this can be hard for some people) personally I feel ill at even the thought of biting my nails and I have never done it but if this is your habit then try and stop if you can.

3. Don't use your nails as tools to open things e.g cans or tins as this will make them break very easily.

4. If you are going to cut your nails then cut them whilst they are wet as this will help to prevent breakage on the rest of the nail.

5. Moisturize your nails and cuticles as this will keep them hydrated and nourished. I reccomend using the Vaseline hand cream in the pink tube, its great.

6. I don't know if this helps a lot but I always wear nail polish and I suppose this acts as like a second coat to your nails (if you know what I mean haha) so it makes them thicker and stronger and it makes them less likely to break. Even if you don't wear nail polish or your not allowed to wear it to school then you could just wear a clear top coat to keep them healthy.

7. keep good care of them, so file them every now and then to make sure there not going to catch on things which will break and chip them.

8. When you file your nails, file them in one direction so they don't get weaker and break.

9. I don't use one but maybe you could try using a 'fast nail growth' top coat (I think Sally Hansen do one) because this would help them to grow faster.

10. If your really serious about growing your nails then you could take Biotin which is a vitamin that helps skin, hair and nails to grow healthier and quicker. Its the vitamin that is found in most skin, hair and nail tablets but by taking pure Biotin it will work faster. You can buy this from Holland & Barret.

On the top left are my natural nails with no nail polish on, the bottom right is my nails when they have been freshly filed and painted and the other picture is the nail polish remover and top coat that I use and love.

Thanks for reading I hope you enjoyed x

♡My Thoughts On - Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips♡

Hello everyone, today I am going to be doing another 'my thoughts on' post, I apologize if you do not like these types of posts but I have had a few requests on Instagram and this was one of them. Anyway this post is going to be a review on the Biore deep cleansing pore strips. I purchased mine in Boots for half price reduced from £10.99 to around £5. Mine are the combo strips so the pack contains 7 nose strips and 7 face strips and you can buy packs with just 7 nose strips in but at the time these were the cheapest so I thought it would be a better deal. I have used the strips a few times now and I am impressed with them. It comes with full instructions on the box but basically you remove the plastic backing from the strip and apply to it to your nose or forehead (which has to be wet so the strip can stick to the skin) then you leave it to work for around 10-15 minutes then you remove the strip and its as simple as that! There super easy to use and the results are great, I can defenitley see that the pores around my nose are less clogged when I remove the strip and I can feel that it has taken away all the oil from my pores which is fantastic. I reccomend getting these if you have oily skin, clogged pores or blackheads because they will help to reduce the appearance of all these things. All in all these are brilliant and they really do work so I will defenitley be re-purchasing them when they are on offer again, thanks for reading♥

♥My Thoughts On - Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation♥

Hello blogger friends, today I will be doing a review on the Rimmel London match perfection foundation and again this is another post which has been requested from one of my lovely Instagram followers.

Firstly I'll start off by saying that this foundation is available in boots, superdrug and probably many other shops and mine was £6.99 (but its on offer for £4.99 and the link is below) from superdrug in the shade 101 light porcelain. I went into superdrug intending to repurchase the Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer and I saw this foundation and I had to treat myself and buy it because everyone was hyping about it, so I did.

 Ever since I bought it I have used it every single day as It's a really light foundation and doesn't feel heavy on the skin so its perfect to wear to school as is makes your skin look really natural. I'd say the coverage from this foundation is medium because I have very oily skin, lots of freckles and blemishes and the foundation does cover any redness and blemishes but I wouldn't say it covers freckles completely. The finish of this foundation is probably in the middle again as its not completely matte but its not shiny although I still like to use a pressed powder to set it with and reduce shine. This foundation is made to match your skin tone perfectly and to be honest I think it does as most foundations that I try are always too orange even when I buy the palest shade and they always look really dark on my skin tone. However this is one of the only foundations that I have tried that actually matches my skin tone and looks really natural which is great! When I apply this foundation I use my Cosmopolitan beauty blender to blend it in and set it with a pressed powder as I said before and I think it blends really easily. All in all I think this foundation is really good, its a very affordable price and I really like it. I would defenitley repurchase it although I do like to try new products.

Buy the foundation here - http://www.superdrug.com/face/rimmel-match-perfect-foundation-light-porcelain/invt/541561/

I hope this helped you and I hoped you like it please leave any feedback, drugstore foundations that you reccomend and any blog post requests in the comments below and I will defenitley reply, thank you♡

♥My Favorite Lush Products♥

So on Instagram I asked you what you wanted me to post next and someone told me to do a post on what my favorite lush products are so I thought I would because lush is by far one of my favorite shops ever and I always end up spending all my money in there oopss.

I think that its safe to save almost everybody loves snow fairy shower gel and yes I do know that this is only available at Christmas time unfortunetly but I have cleverly stocked up this year and I have a huge bottle which hopefully will last me *cross fingers*. It smells like bubblegum and sweets and has lots of iridescent glitter in it which makes me feel like a princess woop woop! I also got mine whilst it was half price so it was such a good deal.

Sorry that most of the products on here are pink but what can I say. Bubble bars are my favorite thing from lush and the comforter is one of the best in my opinion. It smells like berries and I break it up into smaller chunks so I usually get around 4 pink, bubbly baths from it so its well worth the money (it costs around £4 I think). I just love getting home from a hard day at school and getting in a red hot, pink bubbly bath that smells like berries and putting on my onesie afterwards, now that is my idea of heaven.

The magic wand bubble band is another pink, Christmas product sorry but I love this so so much! Its just like a bubble bar but on a stick shaped like a fairy wand so when you swirl it around your tub to create bubbles you feel like a magical fairy princess, or at least I do anyway. It smells identical to snow fairy shower gel (mentioned above) and you can use it up to 6 times so again its worth the money and I think mine cost around £5 sorry that I don't know the exact prices. All I do is run a hot bath and when it gets about half way full I swish this around the tub until the water turns a light dusty pink, bubbles are starting to appear and my whole bathroom smells like a fairy princess castle (you can tell that I love princesses can't you haha).

The next product is surprisingly not pink, but it is inside haha. This is the enchanter bath ballistic and it was a Halloween product but now they are keeping it in stores permanently because everyone loved it so much! It smells really fresh and zingy and it is great for that wake me up bath in a morning. When you drop it into your bathtub is creates hot pink, orange and yellow swirl patterns and it almost looks like a beautiful, bright sunset. 

So the last product is pink, sorry I just had to include it, it's the twilight bath ballistic and everyone I know loves this one. Its pink, purple and blue inside and it even includes glitter to make the bath even more magical. It smells like lavender and its huge! I love this bath ballistic and on every shopping trip I always end up popping into Lush and buying some of these,oops.

Hope you liked this blog post, please leave any feedback or future blog requests in the comments below or let me know what your favorite lush products are, goodbye for now lovelies.

♡Face Washes And Scrubs♡

Hi everyone long time no posts so I will start this post by apologizing for not posting anything in quite a while. The reason why I have not been posting is because I have not been able to upload any pictures or photos to my laptop from my phone and camera so I haven't had any pictures to include in my posts. But I thought that I should still do some posts so for the time being I am going to be using pictures from Google images so please bear with me.

Anyway after that ramble I am going to be doing a post on the face washes and scrubs that I have tried, so like mini reviews on them,enjoy:)

 So the first product is the Neutrogena visibly clear blackhead eliminating daily scrub (I know its a long name haha) and you can buy this from superdrug for £4.49. I have been using this for quite a while now and I like it. This product is definetley a scrub and has exfoliating beads in it to help reduce the appearance of blackheads and I bought this because I tend to get quite a lot of annoying blackheads around my nose. After using this scrub I have noticed less blackheads but I have to say it doesn't change too much. Its a very creamy scrub and I think it smells like oranges but I may be wrong.

The second product is the boots skin clear daily face scrub and I only got this because it was half price for only £1.49 obviously from boots. Also I only got this because I wanted a cheap scrub to take on holiday with me and now I am using it at home because I love it so much! I love the texture of this scrub because again it has the exfoliating micro beads in it to help reduce oil on the skin. I have really oily skin and this scrub definetley helps to reduce oil and helps reduce the size and redness of spots which is why I love this product so much. Also it makes my skin feel really clean,smooth and soft.

The third face wash is not a scrub and it is is the Nivea visage daily essentials and I can't remember it being too expensive and I don't even know if it is still available to buy but I thought I would still do a small review on this too. To be honest I didn't really like using this face wash at all and it does say on the packaging 'normal&combination skin' so I don't really know why I bought it because I have oily skin so I think that is the reason why I didn't like it. It smells really nice but it doesn't have any micro beads so it isn't very exfoliating and it didn't do much to my skin apart from make it feel soft, I don't think I would repurchase this again.

The last face scrub is the Garnier pure anti blackhead deep pore wash which I cannot find the link to and I do not know the price of it because my mum picked it me up because I ran out of my other face washes. I'm pretty sure you would be able to pick it up from boots or superdrug though for only a few pounds. I really like this scrub because it makes your skin feel really clean and fresh and it helps reduce oil on my face. It removes any makeup really well and It smells like cucumber which I don't really like but its not a big problem and the scent doesn't really affect me.

I hope this post was helpful to you and please feel free to reccomend any other face washes or scrubs down below or just leave me any blog post requests which you would like me to do in the future. Thanks for reading and I love you all♥♡♥

My Thoughts On - Soap And Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash

Hello my lovelies, today I am going to be telling you my thoughts on the Soap And Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash. You may recognize the picture on the right from my Instagram (@vintage_escape you should follow me hahaha) anyway that's what this product looks like. In fact why am I even showing you a picture of it you've probably seen it like a billion times already because its hyped up so much.

Moving swiftly on..I was wanting to try some more Soap And Glory products because I was a bit of a 'newbie' and I only have a few body sprays from them, so I went over to the Soap And Glory shelves in Boots and this product stood out because of the yellow stripes on the bottle. I automatically picked up the bottle and gave it a sniff..it smells totes amaze balls! So I bought it, it smells like lime, kiwi and very fresh and zingy if that makes sense. Its the sort of shower wash that you would use for that 'wake me up' shower in the morning. You could say I only bought it because of the smell. Apart from the smell I love the packaging and the way that It has a pump so its very easy to get the body wash out of the bottle.

This product was £6.50 from Boots which I don't think is too bad considering it smells like heaven and you get 500g which Is going to last me ages. Its a white body wash, it isn't very thick and when you pump it out of the bottle it makes the whole shower smell like a lime cocktail, its so good!

That's it for this 'my thoughts on...' post I hope you liked this and It wasn't too boring, goodbye everyone.

My Thoughts On: The Wreck This Journal♥

 Hello everyone, today I'm going to be telling you about a lovely book called 'wreck this journal' by Keri Smith. First of all it is a journal with lots of pages in and on every page it tell you too do something which wrecks it for example: 'colour the entire page' 'scratch with a sharp object' 'collect all the stamps from your mail' 'cover this page with your hand prints and fingerprints,get them dirty,then press them down' 'spill,spit,drip,fling your coffee here.' It sounds very weird and unusual I know but believe me its so fun and addictive, below I have included a collage of a few pictures of some of my favorite pages that I have completed in my 'wreck this journal.' I have also included a picture of what the book looks like, you can decorate the cover however you like, most people decorate it with pictures or wallpaper but I choose to decorate it with a few cute hello kitty stickers and I also stuck a few blue,glittery sequins around the title but most of them fell off. I choose to decorate my like this because I thought If I wrapped it up in something it would just ruin the whole effect of how damaged the book looks.

The books are available in WHSmiths and urban outfitters for around £9 I think. However I got mine from amazon for £6.74 here's the direct link to it http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wreck-This-Journal-Create-Destroy/dp/1846144450/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359048240&sr=8-1

I didn't want this post to be a big ramble that no one reads and hopefully it wasn't but I'm going to stop here by saying its an amazing book and when I'm bored it definitely gives me something to do, I can't wait til its all done and I can flick through the pages proudly. I'd definitely recommend getting one If you don't have one already especially if you love drawing and your a very creative person.

Some of my completed favorite pages of my wreck this journal.

To Buy List♥

I didn't know what to post today so I thought I'd just show you several items that I'm hoping to buy in the future,sorry if this is a boring post but I thought it would be great to look back on in a few weeks to see if I have bought any of these items and maybe I'll do these types of posts every couple of weeks just to remind me what I want to buy and why,anyway enjoy the post and don't worry there will be much more interesting posts soon!

Snowflake nail polish by models own. So I've been thinking about this one for a while,I am a nail polish hoarder and I really don't think I need any more but lets be honest there's always those unusual nail polishes that you come across on your travels and you just think to yourself 'I haven't got a colour like that in my collection!' then after you've said those few words over and over again in your head your already walking out of super drug with a brand new nail polish, that's how the story goes..right? Anyway with that being said I actually don't have a colour like this, I have many different kinds of finely milled glitter polishes but not that are this shape glitter its like iridescent flakes,so pretty so I'm definitely going to get this soon,it just looks so good on pictures and I need it in my life!

Cath Kidston pencil case. I always say to myself  'right I'm going to get this pencil case and actually use it!' But I never do, the last pencil case I lost so I'm going to get this one and use it, its so cute and I love floral so this pencil case is just so me!

White frilly Topshop ankle socks. I just love how these socks look peeping out the top of vans,blazers,creepers,wedges,heels,air max..the list is endless. I have a pair of burgundy vans and I love and wear them to death and I can just image my black skater skirt, baggy tee tucked in, vans and these socks. This is why I need them in my life,don't worry I'll pick some up next time i nip to Topshop,so pretty!

I know there wasn't really a lot of items on this 'to buy list' but I suppose that's a good thing,because I won't be spending my money on rubbish that I don't need. Toodle pip my lovelies.

nice to meet you♥

Hello and welcome to my new blog, I used to have an old blog which I never posted on and It just wasn't me so I'm starting this new one for a fresh start. I have just finished editing this new blog and I will soon be changing the background to a girly, floral print but It won't let me at the moment so bear with the bright galaxy print. Anyway I'm sorry if this post turns into a big ramble which you end up not reading but this is just a welcome but I'll be trying to post once a week at least and I'm extremely sorry if i don't post once a week, It will probably be because I have a lot of homework or I am very busy. My blog will be just random posts really photography, fashion, makeup, reviews, things I buy, stories and little updates mostly, hope you enjoy my upcoming posts♡
