Moving On Without Drama || Lifestyle

(*Quote* | Bulbs)

I've been dwelling on this post for a while; I really wanted to write a post to express how I feel regarding such a big change in my life & I know a lot of people experience similar issues. Moving on is inevitable for everyone; there comes a time in everyone's lives when they have to move on from someone or something. It can come in the form of a break-up, losing a friend or even a death but we all have to adapt to our new reality. There's never been a right way to move on; everyone moves on different & every situation is different but I think we can all identify some unhealthy behaviours we can express in these times. 

London & Reading Haul

After working so much overtime during the Christmas period, I thought I may as well splurge a little when payday came around!! Me & Jacob decided to pop into London because I really needed new foundation & only Oxford street Debenhams offers Kat Von D's range. It was well worth a chilly day in London to get a few goodies. We also travelled to Reading the next day to pop into the new Primark & Ikea to grab a few bits as well. 

Taking Time To Relax || Lifestyle


My weekends are currently all about winding down & relaxing. I only have to work for two hours in the morning so it gives me that chance to do those things I need to (as if) & just take time out of my usual routine to actually relax (much better option). I wouldn't say I rarely do anything on these days even though I've had some ultimate lazy days over Christmas but I do try to relax.

Beauty Wishlist


We all know I'm a huge beauty addict; I adore a pretty palette & I can't resist having a splurge once in a while so it's about time I created a wishlist. Over the next few months I've decided it's time to refill my current products & try a few new bits. Later this month I'm heading into London & I'm excited to purchase a few Kat Von D products; I would usually order online but foundation needs to be matched. I can't wait to test her line & I'm hoping her range has a colour match for me. I'm also very excited for the UK release of the better together collaboration palette. It looks beautiful & the colour comparison can be used for a lot of creations. Now I'm finally sorting out my body to create my ideal I want to trial a few lip pumping products. I'm not one to jump into surgery so if I can find a good alternative to fillers I'd love it. You've also seen I'm in need of a replacement for my contour palette & I'm debating splurging on the ABH collections. I'm definitely one to use powder over cream so I may have to give this a go. Finally it comes down to brushes; I've seen the oval shaped ones everywhere so I may grab a couple just to test out. I have a great set of brushes currently but everywhere is stocking these so why not. I've seen a few in Primark so I'll probably stick to those. I've also seen the silisponge shared on instagram a lot & it looks like such a good product; less waste & easy to clean. Definitely ordering this on their next restock!!

Teal Liner & Red Lips || Beauty

This a first for me but I was rather happy with my Christmas day make-up so I thought why not share it with you guys. Luckily you don't have to put up with an embarrassing video (remember those tumblr days),  so here's a quick post on how I painted my face & what products I used.
