What's in my bag?!

This is a post that ive never done before and I couldn't understand why. For one it's a classic post that I've seen bloggers and youtubers do and another reason I can't belive I haven't done it, is that I love seeing what people have in their bags! I'm so nosy when it comes to these things because people can keep the most random items in their handbags. 

I've layed out all the items I had in the bag I'm using currently with the exceptions of some random old pieces of chewing gum (obviously not chewed. Ew) that I thought would ruin the image slightly. I have the usual things like my purse which is from new Look. I love it because it fits everything in. (I mean receipts and not money because I'm pretty poor) Phone and ear phones are standard as well. 

I'm really not sure why I always have sunglasses with me when I live in England but I'm ever the optimists. Something you might not know about me is that I love reading and it's my favourite hobby. However I find it hard to find the time to really enjoy a good book so I always carry one with me on case the opportunity arises. At the moment I'm reading 'We need to talk about Kevin' which is written my the mother of a boy named Kevin who committed a school shoot up in America. To avoid making this into a book review, it is an interesting book to because of the way it's written and that you get to see a different side of a well known news story. 

Who else is a compulsive list maker? Because I definitly am. My anxiety means that I obviously worry a lot but knowing that I have written everything down really calms me so I keep my trusty Flamingo note book that is full of scribbles and lists.

Finally, a makeup bag in a women's handbag is not unusual but I try hard not to pack everything. Instead I keep the necessities like concealer and eye lash curlers which may not be a necessity to someone else but my eye lashes are short and straight which I don't like. At the bottom of my bag I found a couple of hair pins and hair bobbles left over from God knows when. Another thing I feel unable to leave the house without is my hand sanitizer which is a gorgeous smelling one from The Body Shop. (At the moment its satsuma) all with that smelly thing I have a miny of one of my favourite perfumes which is from Dior so we donto have any bad scents while out and about. 

Over all I'm pretty impressed with the lack or hoarding I have even if I did take a sweet wrapper out as well. I hope you've enjoyed having a nosy in my bagarden.  What do you always keep I  your bag no matter what? 

Summer everyday makeup

So apparently its summer here in the northern hemisphere however I don't think anyone bothered to tell the weather this. But life goes on in sunshine or in rain so I thought I would show you my go to summer makeup. This year I haven't been very creative with my summer makeup since I've had limited time and I couldn't be arsed to be honest to play around with different looks so I've just gone for the bronzed look.

Please don't think orange though, I like to have some colour just to warm up my complexion since when I'm pale in the winter I get lovely comments about how I look ill and tired. I have great friends.... 

This look is pretty standard with a bit of eyeliner and mascara and I tend to also put a bit of eye shadow from he Maybelline Blushed Nudes palette which I will be reviewing quite soon. The foundation Im wearing at the moment is the Rimmel Wake me Up foundation in a slightly darker shade for my summer skin. I have only recently made the change from my Rimmel Perfect Match foundation as I've only just caught the sun from going on a couple of walking weekends.

The thing I would recommend out of everything is probably the Bourjois bronzer because it's so beautifully subtle that you can completely avoid the fake orange look. But I still love the Benefit They're Real mascara and push-up liner.

April favorites.

Hello, I thought this week I would do an April favorites, because I usually just stick to talk about one thing, so I'm going to talk about a few things. Here are the things I've been loving this month even if they a bit random without explanation.

So these are my new walking boots that I have bought for my Duke of Edinburgh award which I shall be doing as you are reading this, so please think dry warm weather thoughts for me. I already have walking boots which are extremely comfy but they do not have ankle support with is really needed. I shall be walking 48k this weekend so they have to be broken in otherwise my feet will be covered in painful blisters.I bought them from Go outdoors which is fantastic for things outdoorsy. (Obviously) But they are really good for clothes, tents and all sorts. I really hope these boots live up to my expectations.

As the sun is coming out to say hello I am looking forward to getting more colour in my skin. I never have and probably never will be a fake tanner, mostly because I'm scared it will go wrong knowing me.But I discovered this from one of my older sisters (perks of being the youngest child). It is a great moisturizer and as you can see it gradually helps you tan. I have found you actually have to go out in the sun, because it won't suddenly appear overnight. I do think it helps as there hasn't been that much sun to give me the more tanned look I now sport. When I mean tan I don't mean orange ,but I'm just no longer paper white. 

I wore these in a previous post when I was playing with my new yellow coat. I love them so much because of the shape and colour. They are cat eyed and brown with speckles on. I found them in a shop called pound stretchers which isn't usually the kind of shop I go in, but I'm so pleased that I did. They were 99p! I don't know how long they will last but I will enjoy them while they do. 

Loving this foundation is nothing new for the internet. I haven't been able to where has it had been the wrong shade but now its perfect. I love the consistency, the feel of it and how it looks. I only have to use a small pump on the back of my hand to cover my face. It lasts as long as I won't it to and it has SPF in so I know my skin will be protected. I would recommend this foundation to anyone. 

What have you been loving this month?

Review: Rimmel Wonderful mascara.

Hello, I just ran out of my old mascara which was the Rimmel scandleyes so I've been looking around for a new mascara. I'm not that interested in having lots of volume especially for school put I just want a bit more length. I came across this in boots and I had heard good things about this product. I've used it now for about a month and I love it. I would recommend this to anybody. It is the Rimmel Wonder'full mascara.the brush is light and gets rid of all clumps so it gives the eyes lashes a long black natural look.
