Real Techniques Expert Face Brush Review ♥

Expert Face Brush - £8.99 Superdrug

Hello! I GOT A NEW CAMERA! It's the Nikon D3200 DSLR, I am in love with it, I'm really enjoying exploring all the different features it has. I hope you like my pictures in this post, I am sure they will get better as time goes on, once I suss out the different aspects of my camera!

I have been loving using this RT brush. I haven't used any other RT brushes apart from the eyeshadow ones so this was brand new for me. I'm so so impressed! I usually use Cosmopolitan's beauty blender (review here) to apply and blend out my foundation, so I wasn't too sure how I would get on with a brush again. I used to use stippling brushes but I hated the finish they give my makeup, I always seem to have loads of brush strokes left on my face which need blended in with a beauty blender and I find they make my foundation cakey. However because this brush has such dense bristles it manages to pack on all the colour I need and buff out my foundation flawlessly onto my skin. I am so impressed with it, none of the bristles fall out and it leaves my skin looking 'real' and smooth. If you haven't tried this brush then I highly recommend you do! Its amazing!

Marc Jacobs Dot Perfume ♥

Marc Jacobs Dot 50ml - Boots £49.50

Hello! I hope you're all having a good day.

I have been wanting to share my thoughts on the Marc Jacobs Dot perfume for a while now, so here it is!

I got this perfume for my 18th birthday from my uncle, who always knows what to buy me which is good because I had wanted this perfume for ages! It has quickly became my new favourite, I wear it most days because I love it so much!

The fragrance is soft, fruity and floral, with a hint of the signature Marc Jacobs scent. When first sprayed there are two top notes of mixed berries and honeysuckle, which compliment each other perfectly. For me it is a very versatile fragrance which can be worn either in the day time or night time.

Like all Marc Jacobs perfumes the bottle shapes seem to be the first thing to catch your eye and draw you in. I absolutely love this bottle's shape and design, it has been very well made and planned out, however, I am a little scared to carry it around in my handbag as I feel if anything hits the 3D parts they will fall off.

Overall I absolutely love this perfume and it is well worth the money. If you haven't already tried it out for yourself then you need to sample it because I am sure you will all love it! xo

August Favourites 2013 ♥

Hello! I am full of the cold/flu at the moment which has kindly jumped on me as I am just about to go for my weeks holiday from work next week, typical! The month of August has been brilliant for me, I had my 18th birthday (post here) and I passed my driving test first time:)! 

Now we are getting into my favourite time of the year, when its cold and frosty outside and warm and cosy inside and most of all the A/W fashion trends are honestly the best fashion season in my opinion, I am so excited, especially after seeing a sneak preview of Primark's new clothing range.. woo!

I have been loving a lot of things this month but I have managed to narrow it down to these 7 things.

The Big Bang Theory Season 1-5 box set - 29.99 Amazon

This was my favourite present James gave me for my birthday. I love The Big Bang Theory, it's so funny and it always makes me happy when I watch it. I know series 1-6 is out now but at the time it wasn't when he bought it for me, so if you want that one then I think Amazon has it but it is quite pricey.

Macadamia healing Oil Treatment 125ml Beauty Expert - £29.95* (review here)

I was sent this product but I am definitely going to buy the full size version, I can really feel and see a difference in the condition of my hair after using this oil throughout August. I apply it to my hair when it is damp before I blow dry it.

Marc Jacobs Dot Perfume 50ml - £47.00 Boots

I am going to write a full review on this perfume as it is thee nicest perfume I've used! It smells heavenly, floral and sweet. If you haven't tried it already then you need to get down to Boots, Superdrug or Debenhams and try it out!

Essie nail polish 'Avenue Maintain' - £1.99 Fragrance Direct

This has been my favourite nail colour this summer, it is a lovely sea blue shade which lasts a whole week for me. It's got a lovely shine which compliments the colour perfectly.

iPad4 32GB - £479.00 Apple (free engraving)

This was my main present from my mum and dad for my 18th birthday, I have wanted an ipad for so long and this one is perfect, I can do absolutely everything on it. It is the newest one Apple has to offer with the lightening charger port and retina display, I am glad I got the 32GB version because it gives me plenty space for films and all the apps I could ever need! (My friend bought me the polka dot case, I don't know where it was from but there are loads on eBay)

Nivea Harmony Time Shower Cream - £1.00 Semichem

I love this shower cream, it leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturised and it smells amazing, it has a soft and floral scent. What I like the most about it is how long the smell lasts on my skin, its lovely! I think it was a total bargain at £1 too!

Sanex Zero% deodrant - £1.00 Semichem

This might seem like a strange favourite but I have tried so SO many deodrants recently and none make me feel comfortable throughout the day, I don't sweat very much which I am glad about but I like to feel 'safe' haha. This deodrant has been perfect throughout this hot month, it lasts all day/night and it smells lovely! 

My 18th Birthday! ♥

My cake! Ahh so amazing!

(Jewellery Left to Right) Ring from my Gran and Papa (it has tanzanite stones in it), 'N' necklace from my Auntie and earrings from my boyfriend James to match the necklace he got me for valentines (:

Dot Perfume from my uncle.. it smells so good

My iPad engraving (:

Hello everyone! I have been pretty busy recently and I have my driving test this week.. ah, wish me luck! Yesterday (Sunday 4th August) was my 18th birthday! Woo! I had a brilliant day with my family, my best friend, Lucy and my boyfriend, James.
 I knew I was getting an iPad for my birthday but it was still exciting. It is the iPad 4 with Retina Display which has an A6X Chip and 32GB of memory which is perfect! My mum and dad also chose for it to be engraved when they bought it from the Apple website with lyrics from my favourite song 'Gypsy' by Fleetwood Mac, it says" 'I have no fear, I have only love' 'Gypsy' - Fleetwood Mac". I am so so happy with it!
 My mum and dad also got a birthday cake made for me. My mum told the lady how she thought I would like it to look and I absolutely love it! I didn't want to cut into it and eat it because it just looks so pretty! It took me a few hours to give in and let everyone have a slice, it tastes so good!
 In the evening we all went out for dinner to a beautiful restaurant that I had never been to before, it was absolutely brilliant! I had a drink in there with Lucy and my mum after our dinner then we came home and cracked open some cans of cider haha!
 I had a wonderful birthday and I am so happy with all my presents and money I received from my friends and family. How are you all?(: xo
