These paisley trousers are just life, they are so so beautiful and I need them in my life right now and I promise I would never take them off ever. They are monochrome loveliness. I've never really owned a watch properly, not one that I can wear like all day everyday and I just fell a little bit in love with this Olivia Burton dusty pink one, it's so pretty and delicate and I think watches always look so nice in an outfit (that is probably really weird).

I love orange- red shades for spring/summer I think they are absolutely beautiful and I'm slowly becoming more confident in wearing red lips. I think if you don't think you'll suit red lips to go for a more orange toned red as it just looks a bit less in your face. Lastly, is this beautiful little number from my favourite shop. I think it would look amazing with either some sandals or some little ankle boots or anything really, I just love it!

After seeing the hype that was taking place on the internet over the new Benefit Roller Lash mascara, I felt that as a beauty blogger it would be so wrong if I didn't get a sample myself a review it.

I think the packaging for this product is so cute and pretty, I love the pink/ rose gold colour of the lid and the pink and black together just looks so vintage, I'm a really big fan of it. Although it's not a full sized one, I actually think I prefer this size purely because it's the perfect size for your handbag and make up bag and doesn't take up much space.


I do see why everyone likes this product and I think the wand is perfect for separating lashes and lengthening them as well, I don't find it makes them very thick but I'm not a fan of big thick lashes as I prefer for my lashes to look more natural and this definitely achieves that look. I also like that it doesn't have brush bits at the end like they're real which always causes loads of product to clump on my lashes and it just gets EVERYWHERE. I also find that it really adds so much curl to your lashes as well, I've never had particularly straight lashes so they are pretty curly as it is but this just makes them look that bit better. It's like a 'your lashes, but better' type affect.

Hopefully from the above photo you can see what I mean! They don't look overly fake, they just extend my lashes without making it look like I've got much mascara on and I absolutely love it. I think it's definitely worth trying if you're interested in trying a high end mascara as it seems to give every single person a different look, but it always seems to be the desired effect.

I've nearly run out of my Urban Decay flushed palette which I reviewed on my blog here, and so I've been on the hunt for a new highlighter, bronzer and blush. So far I'm still looking for a highlighter, but I've managed to get the other two and they are absolute dynamite!


 As you can see from the above photo I decided to go for the Bourjois bronzing powder, and so far I am so impressed with how much I love it. It's absolutely brilliant! I love the shade it's so warm and looks very natural and it's a lot less shimmery than my Urban Decay one so it looks much more natural on my skins and although I was really worried it was going to be too dark, it works so well and blends like a dream. It also smells absolutely amazing, I cannot get over the smell! Whenever I'm using it I force Adam to smell it because I love it so much.

I wasn't sure how I would feel about the cardboard container as I was worried it would get quite battered up in my make up bag, but so far there hasn't actually been any problems with the packaging which is a huge plus and I actually really like the packaging. I can see why some people probably don't, but I love it. As you can see in the photo above it does appear to be quite dark, but I promise its not that noticeable! It just gives a really natural gorgeous glow.

It retails for about £7/£8 in the UK which isn't really that bad, I didn't think it was too bad anyway but maybe I'm wrong. I'd definitely purchase it again because for the price you get your money's worth and I just love it so much!!

Have you used Bourjois bronzing powder before?

So, March was a very up and down month. There was high points and really low points, and at the particularly low points I posted this quote, if you can't read it it says "a negative mind will never give you a positive life" and I just had to keep trying to remind myself of this quote which is hard but if you are having a hard time right now then remember this quote because it will make you feel a little bit better. It was also mothers day this month and so I posted a cute little photo of me and my mumma because she is a diamond and I love her a lot. It was also mine and Adams 'year anniversary' I feel weird calling it an anniversary if it's only a year, but that's what it is so oh well! We went out for a lovely meal at Ask and enjoyed it so much and I've enjoyed the last year with him so much. Lastly, my best friend Chloe and I had a long awaited night in with wine, chats and just general loveliness.

So that was my month of March, how was yours?

Here are some of my absolute favourite songs from the past month, it's quite a mixed bag of music but I love them all equally and keep listening to them on repeat!

What songs have you loved this month?

Now I know that i didn't actually do a years worth of these last year, but it would have bugged me otherwise and so I decided to start again because why the hell not.
December was a super awesome month for me; I had my work Christmas party, loads of meals out, the BBC music awards, Christmas, New years and just loads of nice fun things to do.

I bought the new Essie Christmas nail polish to wear for my works Christmas party and I had to snap a photo of it, but it's so stunning and really is Christmas in a bottle. The only thing I hate about it though is that like every other glitter polish, it is the hardest thing to get off of my nails and I've now had to give my nails a little rest from products for a while. Myself and Adam also went to the first ever BBC music awards which were incredible! I hope I get to go back another year because it was absolutely amazing. The creme brulee was the dessert I had when we went out for a birthday meal and it was absolutely MASSIVE, no one could finish it.
I was very very spoilt this Christmas and got so many beautiful and thoughtful gifts which I appreciated so much, two were from my absolute favourite jewellery retailers 'astrid and miyu' all the jewellery they do is stunning and I was lucky enough to get a ring and bracelet from Adam.
Lastly, myself and Adam spent new years in Liverpool. It's my favourite place in the UK and so I was over the moon to be there with my favourite person, it really was the perfect way to end the year!

I hope you had a brilliant December and that your January is even better.

• In the earlier part of the year, me and some of my best pals went to Norwich for our baby boy Zachy’s 19^th birthday and although I ruined the night because of my crippling stomach aches (sorry again guys) it was definitely one of the best nights of the year. We all played drinking games and took photos and had chats and danced so much and it was just a bloody beautiful night with some of the greatest people ever.
  
•   In July Adam and I went to Spain together for a week and it was just everything I had hoped it would be a more, spending a week together sun bathing, exploring, eating and drinking the week away was definitely what I had needed. It was such a chill out holiday and was just wonderful and reinforced all the reasons that I love Spain, because who doesn't love Spain!?
  
• I don’t like birthdays, don’t get me wrong if it’s somebody else’s birthday then I love it because I like to make people happy and get them what they want. If it’s my own birthday I just struggle to feel upbeat about it and don’t really want to do anything, this year was completely different. I spent the day with my family and Adam and it was just completely chilled and great because I got such wonderful and thoughtful presents from everyone; my family, Adam and Adam’s family all put such effort into what they got me and I was so thankful.
  
•  Now this joins to the last point I made about my birthday.  A week after my birthday, me and all my closest friends in the world (excluding frasmine) and Adam went out for my second ‘birthday’. This was hands down my favourite night of the year, I had one of the best nights out I have ever had which is hilarious because it was in our home town which is NOT good for a night out at all. It was absolutely amazing though, and at the end of the night I just remember lying on a hill and being so happy and thankful for all my friends. It was an emosh moment and I still get stupidly happy if I think about it now.
  
•  Going to Liverpool and seeing my family after such a long amount of time was so special for me, especially being able to take Adam with me. I've always gotten on so well with that side of my family and so just being able to spend as much time with them as I could and just doing really casual things like going shopping and watching TV and stuff, it meant a lot to me.
  
• Going to the Bury Christmas Market with my parents and Adam was great, we've never really done anything like that and so being able to mooch round and just look at all the great things that the market stalls had to offer was great and I think we all enjoyed it.
  
• Adam decided that for a Christmas present he would buy us tickets to go to the first ever BBC music awards and it was wonderful! We went shopping, went to Winter Wonderland and just did all cute London things and spent time together. I loved cute little days like that, they make my life.

What were your favourite memories?

So I didn't do blogmas AGAIN yesterday, but I had nothing to write about yesterday because it was just a normal work day and I was super tired.I'M SORRY OKAY. Anyway my day got off to a less than great start this morning as there were signal problems with every single bloody train and no buses, so I ended up getting into work at about 9:45 which is over an hour later than I start work. I was very very angry and had to send a few passive aggressive tweets to the rail line (don't judge, I'm only human).
 I thought I'd include a passive aggressive snapchat I sent, please don't judge. Public transport makes me want to rip my face off and today made me never want to look at a train again, but tomorrow is a new day so hopefully they will be better again. Including tomorrow I only had 4 days left until we break up for Christmas, which is insane because December has gone so so quick! Does anyone else feel like 2014 has been freakishly quick? I'm not sure how I feel about how quickly it's gone... I'm seeing some of my friends this weekend and I'm so excited, I'm going to squish all their faces because I've missed them so much! But I still have a day of work left until I get to see them, but I've decided to start wearing my Christmas jumper tomorrow (and probably until I break up from work). This is actually the first time I've ever bought myself a Christmas jumper and it is so warm and cute and I love it and just want to wear it for the next 3 months because its just super sweet.

It's from ASDA  and I haven't taken the price sticker off yet because I'm lazy, but look how sweet it is! It's got a 3D scarf and bobble hat and it's absolutely fabulous and I plan on wearing it to work in pure style.

I'll try and blog at some point tomorrow, but it won't be very interesting I'm afraid. If not then I will post on Saturday for you lovely bunch. I hope you've had a good Thursday and have and even better Friday x

November was a super good, but super hectic month. It is also a month that I didn't instagram a lot apparently, but hey ho what can you do! The first photo is from a night out that I had with all the people I work with, I was absolutely fine sticking to my wine but then I saw everyone else with nice cocktails and decided to try one. They had run out of vodka and they only spirit they had was gin? It was also a cocktail of gin, some sort of fruit liqueur, ice and fruits. So no mixers and gin, WHAT MADE ME DECIDE THIS WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. It absolutely wasn't and I spent the next day paying for it (drinking is bad). I decided that as I had a bit of money left over I wanted to take myself and Adam out for dinner and I'm so glad that I did because look at that little face so happy and full of olives. I also had a super cute catch-up with my little frasmine in November, she's become an adult and gone off to uni and I miss her a lot so when she comes back we do cute things like drink costa and talk for 12 hours. Lastly, I obviously went to the Christmas market in Bury St Edmunds with my parents and Adam which was lovely and that is also the photo I use for blogmas (sneaky sneak).

I hope you had a good November and have an even better December. I'm not sure whether to start this from #1 in January because I'll feel weird if I don't even though I'm not at 12.You'll all find out by January!

I have so many posts planned that I'm finding it hard to actually figure out when to post them, which is an absolute first for me! It's growing closer and closer to Christmas and although I will over the moon with any gifts I am lucky enough to get, I thought I would do a wishlist of stuff I'd like to be able to buy myself for Christmas!

Tomorrow I'll be on blogmas day 15, so I've technically caught up in my own messed up crazy way. I hope it's not been too confusing for any of you! So after the amazing night at the BBC music awards we were unsure of what we wanted to do for the last few hours we had in London and eventually we settled on going to winter wonderland which I've been super excited to do for a while.
