Holiday OOTD @ the Zoo

On one of the only sunny days on my holiday in Newquay my boyfriend and I took a trip to the zoo. Seeing as the sun was shining for a change I decided to get out a holiday classic...

The Maxi Dress....and only £8 from Asda. A beautiful baragin!

Maxi Dress – from Asda £8
Khaki Draped Cardi – from Primark £7 (I think?)
Black plated belt – from New Look £5 (for 2 different colours)
Handbag – from Accessorize £32 (I think, but now it’s in the summer sale for £14) :(
Worn with flip-flops

I didn’t realise until looking back at these pictures how coordinated I was with the surrounding of the zoo, I think my boyfriend was tempted to leave me there :)

Summmer Nails!

Seeing as I’m off on my holidays on Saturday I thought I would share with you lot some of my favourite nail polish colours!

No line-up of nail polishes would not be complete without a bit of Barry M....

Barry M - pale purple – I love this colour its sooo pretty!

Barry M - mint green – this isn’t a usual colour I go for, but its bright and summery

Barry M - pink flaming – a more of a brighter colour for the summer

Eyeko tea rose – I love pinks and this is a lovely summery dark pink shade

Topshop – Nice ‘n’ Neutral – perfect neutral shade for all year round

No.17 High Gloss – Raspberry Mocha – a new favourite of mine (featured in a previous blog post) perfect with a summer tan!


What are your favourite summer nail polishes?

Happy Feet thanks to Vivianna and Lush :)

I thought I would treat my feet to some pampering after reading Vivianna’s blog post she tried the Stepping Stone Foot Scrub from Lush and I thought I would give it ago myself.

As it's flip-flop weather I gave my toes the full attention of a mini pedicure!

I started with the Stepping Stone Foot Scrub. It made my feet feel super soft and smelt amazingly of citrus flavours. The scrub takes away horrible dry skin from the feet and the oils and cocoa butter adds the soft moisturized feeling. I can’t wait to use this again and again; it feels like a mini spa for my feet. (please read Vivianna’s Blog for more of a review)

(it broke into several pieces when I tried breaking a small piece off to use, it is supposed to look more like a foot, but look on Vivianna’s blog for a better look at the stone) it was a bargain at only £2.75!



To make my feet feel even softer I smothered my feet in my favourite body butter, N-Spa Coconut ice cream body cream. It was a gift for my (birthday and it smells delicious! I believe you can get it in all different scents from Asda and other supermarkets.

And to finished I added a new nail polish I picked up today. No. 17’s High Gloss polish in Raspberry Mocha! Such a lovely colour for the summer as it really compliments a tan.

My feet feel amazing; I think this might have to become a weekly pampering occurrence!

What do you think?

Beautiful Ends with Herbal Essences

While straightening my hair one morning (how horrible is it straightening your hair in the heat. I'm not liking the sweaty look...yuck!) I notice my ends where looking a bit frazzled. Too much heat abuse on my hair I think?

Since I have cut my hair short I can’t really leave the house without running the straighteners over, so I was on the hunt for something to give my hair a bit more protection and nourishing. My lovely, amazing friend Jenn came to the rescue and recommended Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends – Split end protection intensive mask!

And I’m in love!

It works by running the product through your hair and leaving for 5 minutes then wash out (but it’s advised to only use once a week). It makes my hair so soft and the ends of my hair feel really nourished! And it smells delicious – red raspberry!

When I brought the mask there was a special offer in Superdrug – buy two Herbal Essences products for £3.50. So I also tried the Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends – Split end protection cream.

This product works as a leave in conditioner. It say you can use on towel dried (damp) or dry hair, but I would advise to only use on damp hair because I tried the cream on dry hair however it made my ends slightly greasy. Not as amazing as the hair mask but still good for protecting the ends of my hair! And again smells absolutely amazing! I would just repurchase again just because of how lovely my hair smells afterward!

Have you tried any of the Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends products?

A Studio Secret....?

How GOREGOUS is this weather??

But when the sun is out, the make-up starts slide! So a primer is essential in this weather!

Recently I’ve been trying L’oreal Paris – Studio Secret Professional Smoothing Resurfacing Primer.

It’s a soft white/pink mousse that smoothes out the surface of the face creating a perfect surface base to apply your foundation. It makes my face really soft and smooth and I’ve also notice it dulls redness of my old acne scars and even some shine while making my make-up stay on longing through-out the day. It also claims to smooth out fine-line and wrinkles!

Seems like the perfect primer?

Only problem is it only a 15ml pot and it cost £12.99 (rrp)........it’s very pricey for a small pot that won’t go very far. When I purchased my pot it was on sale for £9.99 in Superdrug and I’m lead to believe that this could be a regular occurrence. I’m not sure it’s worth nearly £13 for such a small pot! So maybe I will only be repurchasing if it’s on sale?

Or maybe find another primer to try? Any suggestions?

Topshop Sale - Jewellery!!!

As me and a friend wondered around town we noticed Topshop was having a sale! We both didn’t really have the money to buy anything (even sale items) :(

But I really can’t say no to jewellery.... here is what I brought

I notice this bracelet before but didn’t buy it...glad I didn’t as I got it half price for £3!

These two necklaces caught my eye, they were each £3.50 but I thought they would look lovely layered together. As you might notice I really like simple words in jewellery.

And I also brought my friend a little something; she has been looking for a horse-shoe pendant necklace for a while and I found this...

Hope she like it....(if not I’m sure I can find a home for it lol!)

Have you found any bargains in the summer sales?
