Recent best beauty buys - Makeup Geek, Urban Decay, Illamasqua..


Being completely and utterly addicted to spending money on makeup and clothes I don't need, I've had to seriously resist buying so much since I started University, however some things are just completely essential and I can't help myself hence why I want to share some of my favourite and recent beauty buys!

Spectrum Collections Brushes?!


For Christmas I received these GORGEOUS brushes which I just wanted to make a quick appreciative post about because I am obsessed, these don't just have a pretty mermaid aesthetic to them but are cruelty free & vegan, and amazingly high quality - they are actually great brushes to work with to create any look!

The workout which killed me..

I went to the gym tonight with my flatmate and didn't really have a routine planned before which led to me mashing up a load of different moves into a semi decent routine, but it turned out to be insanely good and half way through even I had to take a break and rethink it for next time. But I'm feeling super good now so I thought I'd share what I did here!

I did the exercises in HIIT style so as much as I could in the time so it would make me equally sweat & work!

The first two days of trying to be healthier...

Thought I'd do a little two day overview into my healthy eating & gym routine so far! When I came back to uni, first thing I did was a big shop to hopefully last me a couple of weeks, lots of fruit, veg and chicken and rice!


Ideally I'm hoping to cut out all carbs throughout the week, as this is the food I literally eat the most of, my meals revolve around pasta, bread & potatoes and I want to try and substitute all of these for vegetables and grains! With the help of Pinterest I've got some super exciting recipes to try out, I'm just hoping that I won't run out of ideas and result in cheat meals! As a student it is sooo difficult to not fall into this trap.


First meal: I'm so so so happy to have found this recipe and I am excited to pass it on! The main in my first meal I cooked is Baked Paprika Parmesan Chicken - I've never actually prepared or cooked raw chicken before and was a bit worried about it but now I am obsessed! The result is like a healthier KFC style chicken! Super delicious. I'll link the recipe at the bottom of this post!
To go with it I also made Garlicky steamed broccoli which was a massive fail if I'm honest! Fluffed up the recipe a bit and ended up with these lumps of butter & panko bread crumb balls which weren't too appetising, the flavours were there however my culinary skills aren't great, I would like to try it again though! The rice on the side is one of mine and my boyfriends favourite recipes, which I had today as a main, he had it last night as he is Vegetarian - so I nabbed a bit to accompany my dinner.

What I Got For Christmas 2016!?


It's a new year, but I really wanted to make this post last year but seen as I only started this new blog yesterday I thought I'd do a little post on what I did get for Christmas!


My lovely boyfriend got me a new set of Spectrum Collection brushes - the marbellous collection! I currently have the essentials set which I did a pretty hefty review of yesterday, however these babies are a new addition and are INCREDIBLE, I cannot express how good they are. I'll probably save any more compliments of them for another post! He also brought me a gorgeous chamilia bracelet with a new charm, which I've added my other charms too.

My Favourite Mascara - Primark?



Hiya, recently I've been dibbing and dabbing with different makeup products (mainly cheaper) to suit my student loans! I saw a video on YouTube from Jordan Lipscombe where she did a full face of makeup using products only from Primark, and I knew I had to try out the mascara she used.
