Beauty Bay Haul

Hi Lovelies, welcome back!

So I recently treated myself and bought some items of Beauty Bay that I've been dying to try for aaaaages. I have been testing the skincare products out so there will be a full review coming up of those, but for now I thought I'd show the haul as a preview. 

The delivery of the package was pretty quick from what I can remember, although it was delivered by Hermes, who actually left a £50 package in my wheelie bin (eye-roll).


The Mario Badescu Essentials 50th Anniversary Edition cost me £32 and contains the Enzyme cleansing gel, the Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rose Water, the Drying Lotion, Silver Powder and a Flower and Tonic Mask. I've now tried everything  from the set so will do a full review in a couple of days. 

The Small Magnetic Z palette cost me £8.50 and can fit up to 9 shadow pans inside. There not a lot more I can really say about a z palette other than it holds the shadows nicely to be honest...

To go with the Z palette I bought my very first Make-Up Geek eyeshadows. I got the shade 'Bitten' as I had seen this shade recommended by a few people, and then I got the shade 'Peacock' as I don't own any blues and I wanted something a bit more interesting than my normal neutral look. I'm yet to really create any looks with these but will post when I do!

Thanks for reading guys! I hope you enjoyed this post, and keep your eyes peeled for future uploads! Any feedback is welcome xxx

A Week in the Life of Me

Hi Guys! So I thought I would do something a little bit different than I normally do, and do a weekly blog on what I've been doing throughout the week. I won't be doing this every week- However I've had quite a fun week so thought it would be interesting to write this!

Friday 
Friday daytime was quite a relaxed day for me. It was my last week day off before I returned to work,so I spent time at home catching up on a few things and pre-writing blog posts. Friday was also the day when the second season of Stranger Things was released, so I watched the first two episodes at night. I couldn't wait for Stranger Things to come back on Netflix, and was definitely not disappointed! 

Saturday
Saturday day time was spent by me having a huge tidy up of the whole house. I love it when my room is clean and tidy as it really helps to clear the mind and I just feel so much better once I've done so. I then started to get ready at around four in the afternoon, as I was going out into town with a group of friends for a Halloween night out. I loved doing my make-up for the night but annoyingly I didn't manage to take any photos before I went out.

Sunday
I spent most of the day with my family nursing a minor hangover and feeling slightly sorry for myself (Vodka is not my friend). I was so excited for the evening though, as me and Ollie were heading up to Birmingham for a drift experience I had booked him for his birthday. Watching Ollie learn to drift was amazing, and I even got to have a go as a passenger for 3 lap which was an incredible experience. I have only good things to say about the company Learn2Drift as they made it such a fun experience for us!

Monday
So today was my first day back at work after the half-term. I've actually missed being in the classroom so I was quite looking forward to going back, even though it really doesn't feel like I've had a week off. In the evening I went to my clubbersize class, and this week we all dressed up for Halloween. I needed something that looked really good but I could still dance in, so in the end I went for zombie 80's. This is actually my most favourite outfit ever and the class was so much fun this week!

I apologize for the crappy photo 

Tuesday
Today was a pretty chilled out day for me today. I went to work as normal, then came home and took my Mum and Nan shopping. Once I was home I carried on watching Stranger Things and tried to get an early night for once!

Wednesday 
Another chilled out day for me today. Wednesdays are an earlier finish for me so I went into town after work to pick up a package. Nighttime consisted of me watching the final episode of Stranger Things (sob.. I'm already so excited for the next one) 

Thursday 
I spent my day at work as normal because I lead such an exciting life... me and Ollie then attempted to go and watch a local fireworks display but couldn't quite see them from where we had parked so that was a bit of a fail!

Friday 
In all honesty I ended up feeling a bit rubbish on Friday so all I wanted to do when I came home was to eat crap. So me and Oll ended up buying a Dominoes and having night in front of the telly. I did feel better after the pizza though!

Saturday
So I know this day takes it over the week mark. However, I really wanted to include it as I had a really good day on Saturday. Ollie took me up to IKEA for the first time, and omg I'm in love with the place. I then went to Pitchcroft fireworks display with my brother, Ollie and my niece and we had an amazing time together.

Thanks for reading Guys! I really enjoyed writing this blog post and if you read the whole thing I can only say thank you! It still feels weird to just constantly type about my boring life and I can't actually imagine people reading this, so truly thank you everyone xxxx
