Favourite Make-up Products!

Hello! I've seen similar posts about people saying what their favorite makeup products are from different makeup brands such as benefit and MAC so I thought I would do my favorite makeup products form different brands!

I love lots of makeup and have lots of makeup too as I'm constantly buying it even when I don't need it, I just can't help it! I don't own all these makeup products but I've tested them or tried them and they are all really good in my opinion!

Here are my favorite makeup products!

1. Dandelion Powder - Benefit £21.50
2. Erase Paste - Benefit £19.50
3. That Gal Primer - Benefit £18.50
4. Extralasting Black Eyeliner - Avon £6.00
5. Soap and Glory Face Powder - Boots £12.50

Total - £78.00


What are you favorite makeup brands? Are they all from the same brand or different ones like me? :)

Also found a lovely Marc Jacobs giveaway which you can enter at here. Good luck!

Two lovely giveaways I found!

Hello, just doing a little giveaway post!

A friend sent me the link to these two wonderful giveaways! One is a sigma brush and the other is a mixture of makeup and beauty products so they are both great!

Im blogging about both so instead of doing two posts I thought it would be better to do it one just the one post!

This is the first one which you can enter here.


Makeup and beauty products!

And the second one which you can enter here.


Sigma F80 Brush!

I advise that you enter them, and if you do good luck!

Great weekend!

Hello! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, I said I would blog more often after re-vamping my blog so I need to stick to what im saying! Anyway I've had a really great weekend as it was a friends birthday party and about 5 of us went round to her house and played on the wii and singstar etc and it was really great fun!

I also recently got a new bikini from next which is sweet! Sometimes next do some really pretty pieces of clothing and other times there clothes just aren't nice at all!

Here is the bikini and a few pictures from the funny and great weekend I had!

Up and out of the way!


Recently I have come to love seeing people with their hair tied up in a pony tail, whether its simply taking back with little bit of hair hanging down, having your hair rapped around the hairband its self or even have your pony tail curled or designed in some complicated way! I also love the look of people putting their hair up in a pony tail but bringing it down over one shoulder. 

A lot of celebrities wear their hair up with complicated pony tail designs and little bits pushed up or plaited! I think it looks really nice plus its up and out of the way so it won't annoy you!

I have never mastered how to wrap hair around my hairband, although I would quite like to be able to do it as I think it looks really perfect when people have it done :)


A model with a simple pony tail and quiffed up hair 


Jessica Simpson with a wavy pony tail, hair wrapped around the hair band, two pieces of hair taken back and  fastened with a grip and then her hair fringe left to hang


Another model with all hair taken back into a sleek straight pony tail with the hair wrapped round the hair band


Nicole Richie with her hair in a pony tail, hair wrapped round the head band and then brought over her left shoulder

What do you think of this style? Are there any styles in particular you like?

Treat your feet

Hello! Went to school today for the first time in about 3 weeks which was a bit of a pain but its like a day and then a 4 day weekend which is pretty good I think! We had a whole school picnic on the school terrace which was then followed by a debate about the Royal Wedding and about whether or not it should be a national celebration! They were both better then I expected them to be!

After that I popped into town with my mum for a bit and got a foot pedicure from fish! Haha i know it sounds crazy but recently this little area in a shop in town called REEFEET has opened. They are these little fish called Garra Rufa Fish that originated from Turkey! People had been going to Turkey to get this pedicure done for years so people decided to get the fish imported and open little spas in the United Kingdom and then of course Jersey!

But basically it was amazing and my feet feel so soft now and that was only after 15 minutes, so next time I go I will definitely stay in for a little longer! Its amazing how little fish can do that! Its £15 for 15 minutes or £25 for half an hour so I would definitely recommend it! Even if you think it looks horrible, its not and it doesn't hurt at all! If anything it tickles!

Here is a picture of what the fish look like!

Garra Rufa Fish :)

If you want it done and your not too sure where your nearest spa is you can always go online and find out and even book online if you want, but if you just go into the spa without booking it makes no difference!

Here is a link :)  http://www.reefeet-jersey.com/

Have a look and see what you think! Its well worth the money!

Hope everyone enjoys the long weekend!

Relaxation time at last!

Hello everyone :)

Today I stayed at home for most of the day just relaxing and getting things ready for school tomorrow as we have to go back for one day which I think is stupid because we then have the following four days off but anyway! I also popped into town with my mum for an hour to get a few things, I didn't get anything but she got a few things which were nice :)

I'm have had a really busy Easter holiday as I have pretty much been down the beach with friends every day and then sun really wares you out! 

What have you been up to today? :)

Sun Sun Sun !

Good evening :)

Just thought I'd do a quick post before I go to bed! Its been lovely weather over here in Jersey and most days this holiday I have been down St Brelades beach with friends, just tanning, swimming in the sea and enjoying the sun! Jersey doesn't always get glorious weather like this so its always best to make the most of it when its sunny! 

It feels like I have been off school for ages and we have to go back a week tomorrow which makes it seem like the time has flown by but its been a great Easter holiday so I suppose school won't be too bad! 

We also had a BBQ on Good Friday and Easter Sunday which were both really fun and at both I ate ridiculous amounts of food, as you do!

Have any of you done anything nice over the weekend? :)

Lets get cookin'!

Hello :) 

Me and my friend hannah decided we wanted to bake something yesterday we ended up making caramel shortcake, although it didn't go completely according to plan it still tasted fine and looked very similar to what it was meant to look like!

I had the task of making the base and Hannah had the task of making the caramel which covered the base and then melting the chocolate which we had to marble over the caramel. It took quite a while and waiting for the base to cool was a long time and we were getting impatient!

I didnt manage to get any pictures of what it looked like at the end but they were pretty good!

Today I went into town and got a few things and tonight we are having a close family friend round for dinner so that should be nice!

Have any of you done anything nice the past couple of days?

Sorry i haven't done a blog post in a while, I'm such a terrible blogger!
Anyway on Friday a group of us all went down to St Brelades Beach which was great and then today i have been sunbathing in the garden doing work as i have so much of it for the holidays!
Glad we have time off school finally as its a long break because of all the bank holidays!

Hoping to start getting a tan and be able to go to the beach more often although the next few days aren't meant to be greatt! Oh well it'll brighten up and then i can spend as much time as possible in the beautiful sun :)


Most of the girls that went on friday :)
