London: McBusted gig

Hey lovelies!
I went to London on Friday to see McBusted at the o2 arena with my friend Jess, which was absolutely incredible! As we arrived in London around 2pm we decided to get the tube to central London and have a walk around, of course we first popped to china town to have something to eat then went on a stroll from Leicester square to Covent garden looking in book shops and when i saw mac i had to take a quick look inside as i love their lipsticks. Later we headed over to Regent street and Oxford street mainly window shopping. I was on the hunt for a frozen yogurt place as i've only ever brought it from the supermarket and i always see cute frozen yogurt places around London, i found a stall on Oxford street so of course i got one and it was heaven in a pot; strawberry frozen yogurt with oreos on. Shortly after we headed back towards the o2 for the gig. There where three support acts; Young Brando, Vix and 3 Dudes, they were all rather good. McBusted were just phenomenal and had a great mix between busted and McFly songs, even after so many years i can still remember all the lyrics. The whole night was amazing and i wish i could relive it, it's one of the best gigs that i've been to.






I hope you all have a wonderful day

Tanya Burr Lips and Nails: Aurora and Vampire Kiss review

Hey lovelies, 
Recently while in town i've purchased purchased two of Tanya Burr's lip glosses from her Lips and Nails line. At first i only brought Aurora on the day her line came out in Superdrug stores which i was super excited about then when i was out with my friends a few days later i couldn't resist but buy Vampire Kiss.



Aurora - Aurora is a coral pink shade with speckles of glitter. It isn't very sticky which i love about it as i was hesitant about purchasing it as in the past the lip glosses i've brought have been really sticky. It's moisturising and really easy to apply. I love that the the shade as it's very neutral and can be worn to give a bit of colour, it stays on for hours so you don't really have to keep reapplying it throughout the day. This will no doubt be one of my go to lip products this spring!
Vampire Kiss - Vampire Kiss is a lovely red shade. I like how this shade is buildable so it can be more subtle or bold. Again like aurora it isn't very sticky, easy to apply and is moisturising however i found that the colour doesn't seem to last as long and you can notice it wear off after a few hours.
Over all i really love the two lip glosses that i picked up plus they smell great too which is always a bonus. I would really recommend these products to anyone who is after a new lip product.

Have you tried out Tanya Burr Lips and Nails?

phandom meetup

Hey lovelies!
Today i went to a phandom meetup in town which me and my friends organised for Easter half term as we had some free time away from school/college work. It's lovely seeing these guys talking about anything and just having a fun time wandering around. We went and did a little shopping while we were out and i picked up another Tanya Burr lip gloss in the shade 'Vampire Kiss' which is a lovely red (review coming soon). We have a tradition of going to BBC television and movie store which helps fuel my love for sherlock, merlin and harry potter with all the things they sell and i had to resist and not buy half the items in the store, after we went in there we took a few photos on Zoe's polaroid camera which were the cutest things. As the day went on the more we kept singing songs from frozen, who doesn't love frozen? Then later on as we were walking through the shopping centre we were about to go downstairs when I looked over and saw Jim Chapman standing there so we went over and said hi, got selfies and had a quick talk with him before he headed off. He was so lovely and sweet, he also gives the greatest hugs. As we carried on walking we saw Tanya and i quickly said hi and got a quick photo with her as she was in a rush but it was lovely meeting her all the same, it all seemed so surreal. Overall today was a wonderful day out.

Lush: BB Seaweed review

Hey lovelies, today i have a lush face mask review for you. A couple of weeks ago i popped into lush after a new face mask as i'd almost finished mine, instead of going for my trusty cupcake face mask i wanted to try something new and after a nice chat with someone who works there i picked up their BB Seaweed.



"A calming fresh face mask with fresh seaweed, ground almonds, rose absolute and aloe vera to soothe and soften the skin. We also use rosemary oil for its regenerative qualities, kaolin to remove any excess dirt or oil, and millet flakes to gently exfoliate away dead skin as you scrub it off" The mask does everything it says it does and reduces redness of skin. My skin has really noticeably reduced in redness since using the product only twice so far. You don't need to apply too much and the scent is quite subtle and it's easy to apply. It has left my skin feeling soft and moisturised. I'm loving this product and i'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for a new face mask. It's reasonably priced at around £6 for a pot as a little goes a long way with it and you'll get at least 5-6 masks out of it.

What's your favourite face mask?

Have a wonderful day

An Appology

Hello lovelies,
Sorry i've been inactive from blogging for a while, i started college studying photography, from this i've been working on it 24/7 along with other opportunities that it's bringing me but now the year first year is coming to a close i thought i'd try picking up blogging again. I've wanted to for a while now but then something came up so since i have a few weeks off for Easter i thought this was the perfect timing after many months to finally get back into it. I have to say i've missed blogging and i have a few upcoming posts planned.

I have a goodreads account for my reading obsession which you can find here and a flickr with all my photography work, mainly college work or other events here.
