Boots and Semi Chem Haul

Hey lovelies so as I am off for a few days I thought it would be a good idea to get a few blogs up as I don't know how busy I'm going to be this month with work and other commitments. So with that being said lets get started...

If like me you get lazy with shaving your legs and cant be bothered with shaving gel I picked up the Gilette Venus and Olay razor and I am in love. It just smells so nice and leaves yours legs so soft this does have 4 blades which I prefer it was a wee bit expensive for a razor but I cant complain. I also bought 4 other heads for my razor so as soon as I'm finished I just change the blade and I'm good to go!

Up next is fake tan and I love fake tan so the fake tan that I picked up is the St Moriz in the shade medium but instead of the mousse I picked up the lotion and I love it I mean I don't mind the smell of biscuits but if you guys don't like it then I wouldn't pick this one up. 


 Im not sure if ive said this before but my hair can go greasy really quickly so I decided that I would pick up the Herbal Essenes in Rosehip and Jojoba Extract and I am honestly in love this makes my hair so soft and smells amazing.

I love body sprays so when I went into my local Semi Chem and saw that they were starting to bring out the Victoria Secret most popular scents I thought I would pick one up. So the one that I picked up is Pure Seduction and this just smells like heaven! its one of the best scents ever so if you guys have Victoria Secrets or a Semi Chem near you id definitely pick this one up.

And last is skin care I don't know how many times I've said this but I have dry skin so I just picked up another of the Boots exfoliator pads and a Boots face wash.

So that is everything from this blog sorry I don't have individual pictures I thought it would be easier to do a massive one at the end I hope you guys enjoyed reading this and until next time stay BEAUTIFUL

September Favourites

Hey Lovelies so as we are part of the way through October I thought now would be a good time to get my September favourites blog up for you.

Lets start with skin care, since coming back from Gran Canaria my skin has been not so great lately I've had break out after break out so I decided that I would give the simple skin care range a go and Ive fallen in love!!! I like to use the wipes and I know so many of you will be saying don't use the wipes their bad for your skin my skin has cleared up since using them! Secondly I like to use the Simple Kind to skin purifying cleansing lotion on a large cotton pad to remove any excess make up I might have left on my skin. So many people say that once you cleanse you need to tone so the toner I use is again by Simple and as you can see it is the Soothing Facial toner and I love the smell of this it just smells so clean and fresh and clean. Lastly on skin care this for me is an oldie but goodie and that is the Nivea face hands and body cream.

Make up has always been something that I love so you would think that this part of a blog would be easy well its not! Since I've been back I've had a small tan so the foundation that I've been using is the Rimmel London Match Perfection in 200 Soft Beige and I love this foundation is has a light to medium coverage and is easily buildable to a full coverage but with any foundation you have to remember and blend it into your neck. As ive lost weight in my face I now enjoy really enjoying contouring and highlighting my face ive been using my Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot this as you can see has the 5 popular blushes that they sell it has Dandelion, Coralista, Bella Bamba,Rockature and my favourite Sugar bomb.In September ive been wearing a lot of brown and red/purple lipsticks and the lipsticks I've been grabbing are Macs Velvet Teddy and Diva

 

Now for my random favourites while I was away my mum and I liked to watch the sex and the city movies so I decided that I would collect the Sex and the City series so far I have 3,4,5 and 6 so if you guys know where I can get one and two let me know in the comments below!

What were you guys reaching for in September I would love to know!

So until next time stay beautiful

Weight Watchers

Since this is my blog I've decide to come away from the make up and beauty side of a bit and talk about some of the things that I guess a lot of us go through on an every day basis... my first topic of conversation as you guys can tell from the title is Weight Watchers. I know some of you will be thinking I tried that and failed!, it only works for certain people! No it works for everyone.
I have heard people say 'Weight Watchers is a diet' No its a lifestyle you can still eat what you want and lose weight at the same time but you cant be silly about it and you cant cheat the only person your cheating is yourself. Here is a few reasons why I started

About two and a half months ago I split up from my boyfriend and because I still respect him I wont go into why we broke up as I don't feel like I need to air my dirty laundry in public so id like to keep that part of my life out of the blogging world, However not long after we broke up I decided that I would try and lose some of the weight I put on while we were together. I was watching a video on Youtube when a advert popped up about joining Weight Watchers for £10 your first month. I had joined weight watchers when I was about 16 and lost weight but at that time when I was eating wasn't staying in my stomach and I was bringing everything back up. But over the years I have always struggled with my weight I was never the slim girl at school but always the fat one...I mean I was never the fattest at school I must of been about a size 14 when I was at school but after leaving and getting into my first serious relationship I put on about 2 stone taking me up to about a size 18 and I was miserable, after that relationship I got my head down and started training harder then ever getting myself back down to a size 16.. but as ive said over the years my weight has been my biggest struggle, I would lose 10 pounds think it was good and then put it all back on when someone said how good do you look. This time my weight is coming off slowly and surely. I am so far away from my goal weight but I will never stop trying until I am at the weight I want to be. So far I have lost 18 pounds and it is all down to the help of the weight watchers app I mean yes some weeks ive stayed the same but I've still managed to lose weight the next.
I would recommend maybe planning your meals before hand so you can track just how may points you have a day, the one thing you can eat as much as you want of is fruit and vegetables. As I'm not very confident I have done a before picture of what my body was like but if some of you reading this know me you will know what it was like before and now.
I think that maybe once I've lost this next few pounds so that I have two stone off I will post a picture of what my body looks like so far. As far as weight is concerned I have been a massive difference in my hips, bust, stomach and back! My back fat has been on of the things that I have been trying so hard to lose that as I don't like people looking at my back when Im in the gym. Some of you are probably thinking why do you care what people in the gym think about you? in a way I don't but at the same time I don't want the big ' gorillas' as I like to call them looking at me thinking I don't know what I'm doing.. its okay chicken legs I know what I'm doing do you? if like me you don't really like doing the free weight when the big guys are in why don't you take your weight over to a mat or an area that they cant see and do I there? Weight lifting is also good for losing weight as you burn more calories...yes do cardio but focus on weight training, healthy eating and drinking loads of water.
I feel like this blog has been a wee bit of a ramble....in my next blog I will be talking about sex. Don't worry im not going to tell you who ive slept with and how many ive slept with but I will talk about what its like in the lead up to sex with your boyfriend and if some guys read this for your girlfriend so you know what their going through.

So until next time stay beautiful

May Favourites

As we are very close to the end of May I have decided to do my favourites, I seem to go through phases with this blog, one minute I want to tell you everything and the next I don't want to...maybe I need to get back into it! So what have I been doing for the past wee while I here some of you ask well...I have been here!! I have a few things id like to talk about on this blog but putting my personal life out there is like wearing your underwear out in public...but with that being said lets get started.

As some of you guys know I like to fake tan but I don't fake tan my face so the foundation that I use to match is the 25 hour one by rimmel it gives such an amazing coverage and hides every imperfection.

Recently I've not been sleeping properly so I have pretty bad bags under my eyes but what I like to do is hide the face im tired and to hide that I've been using the collection lasting concealer in the shade fair but I stupidly put it away after I did my make up this morning...

I have also been loving getting my nails done. As some of you know I use to be a nail biter and it is honestly the worst things anyone especially females as I feel woman should have female hands if that makes sense. I have been getting Shellac done and as I was away on holiday about a month ago I decided that I would treat myself and get them done. they are a wee bit pricey and cost £25 but last 2 weeks with no chipping and colour fading so if you're going away on holiday or just fancy getting your nails done to feel a wee bit more girly go for it!!!...this was the colour I got but I will let you this isn't what my nails look like now as because of my work they are all broken and short I could cry...

 

Im sorry this blog is so short but if you keep your eyes open I will have a new blog up hopefully within the next few days...so until next time stay beautiful

March Favourties

I know ive been away for a while but as I said in my last post I had a lot of personal things going on and im not going to go into them here because I feel like I don't need to so with that being said lets get started with the post...


Ive not been grabbing a lot this month but the one thing I have been loving has been my new unit.. your probably thinking what unit? and by that I mean a dressing table

I got this unit at beginning of the month and im 100% in love with it...as you can see I have a massive mirror which helps me see what I look like. Would you guys like to see what I store in the drawers?

Up next is a few lipsticks the first one is of course a MAC one and that is the Viva Glam Miley and the only was I can describe this shade is as a gorgeous hot pink shade and looks amazing on any skin tone. Next we have two Barry M shades the first is in Shade 100 and as you can see it is the perfect Barbie pink but I would say this shade is for more tanned girls so if youre like me and love to tan this is the perfect shade for you and last for lipstick is the shade 129 and again as you can see it is a gorgeous lilac shade but as some of you girls know purple lipsticks make your teeth look yellow so I would recommend wearing this with maybe a dark lipliner or a dark lipgloss over top.

I have never included a clothing favourite in my pervious blog but today I am. As I have big boobs and work out a lot I like to wear sports bras and my favourite ones are Primark ones they are so inexpensive and comfy! I sometimes even wear on to bed but the ones I love the most are the ones with the boldest colours

And lastly this month has been lemon water, you guys are probably like em what? and all im meaning is water with lemon I have been loving drinking this I wouldn't recommend leaving this over night as it tastes vial!!!!!

Im sorry this post isn't like my pervious ones but I've not really been loving a lot this month maybe April will be a better month.

So until next time my lovelies stay beautiful
