NEWS!

Ohhh, guess what!?
I've made a Facebook page!
Everytime I do a blog post I bombard all my friends with links on my personal facebook page, and they're not so interested in lipstick and mascara and skincare as we are so I've decided to make a separate bloggy facebook page, so if you'd like to like it, you'll get updates about when I post and maybe even some other linky plinks to other things that take my fancy!

Click here to be directed to it and like if you like and we can all be bloggy friends together! And I won't have to annoy all my facebook friends with my abundance of blog links!

Thanks :)

January Favourites!

Hiya! How are you?

It's time for January Faves! I really like doing these posts, and I love reading other peoples too! It's nice to have a little round up of what you love, it makes me feel all appreciative! I've had a busy January! I kicked off the New Year in Cambridge with all my lovely friends, then I did the last two weeks of my internship at ASOS which was amazing, then I moved back to uni and braced myself to get going with my dissertation :/ It's going ok, but still a long way to go! How was your month? I do like a catch up! Right let's get on with it, hope you enjoy :)

Tartan Scarf H&M

It's been crazy weather recently, Portsmouth must be the windiest place ever, (or maybe I'm just not used to living near the sea) and I hate it because I have to walk to uni with an uncontrollable fringe but I do like to wrap up in this massive scarf from H&M and keep warm!

Body Shop Beautifying Oil

I got this in a set for Christmas from my boyfriend and it's really lovely! I've never really been into using oils, I love the body shop body butters and have a little collection going but I've recently been neglecting them for this! I really love using it, it dries really quickly so ideal to use in a rush and it's really moisturising on the skin. Apparently it can be used on your face and hair too so I'll have to give that a try!

Wah Nails Book of Nail Art

I also got this for Christmas from my little sister and it's amazing! I've been trying some of the ideas from it which you may have seen on instagram if you follow me, and the fact that it has stickers in the back excites the child in me greatly!

Soap and Glory Lipstick in Pom Pom

I'm so glad Soap and Glory bought out more colours in their lipstick range because it's such good quality lipstick and lasts ages. This colour is such a lovely berry colour and I've been really enjoying wearing it over January!

Vivienne Westwood Naughty Alice

I also got this for Christmas from my Boyfriend! I'm sure you've all smelt it, it's really lovely and I'm doing a full review on it really soon so look out for that!

I've also really been loving Revenge Series 2! AMAZING!

What have you been loving this month?

I've been shopping...

So I've been a bit loose with my student loan lately, but lets not think about the debt and how I'm going to buy food for the next three months and all look at the lovely things I've bought, yayyy!

                                     Did you get any bargs in the sales?

Favourite spring trends!

Hellooo! How are you all? I'm back at uni now with a crazy 3 hour a week timetable, £3000 a year for this ay? :o So I have loads of posts planned and should have time to write them now! This one is about my favourite trends for spring and I've made you some pretty little pictures to illustrate! Hope you enjoy :) 

This is a trend that is constantly good, and all the new prints and styles for spring are great if you aren't too keen on colour!

I love both of these jackets and the whole trend! I'm a bit too girly to pull off anything too grungy, but the mix of tough biker and soft pastel is perfect!

If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen that I recently bought the missguided hand sweatshirt! I love it, it's different and quirky and looks great tucked into a pretty skirt!

I've been seeing these EVERYWHERE lately! They are big for ss13 and the contrast panel is very flattering! Perfect with heels for a night out or with a jumper during the day :)

Which trends are you loving for ss13?

Thanks for reading!

Recipe | Spinach and Ricotta Haddock

Hey! I've got something a bit different for you today! :) 

My New Years resolution was to start trying to get more fruit and veg in my diet, I'm sure it's a very common one but I've noticed while being at uni I hardly eat any fruit and only a small bit of veg every week. So I've been doing this mostly by having salads for dinner and also snacking on fruit and greek yogurt instead of chocolate! And I've really got in to looking up recipes and trying out new meals, so I thought I'd try out one of my own and see how it goes down! This is quite filling because of the nuts and fish but it's only 300 calories :)

Ingredients

Haddock, Ricotta, Spinach, Rocket, Pepper, Tomato, Olives, Cashews, Salad Dressing.

Bake the haddock at 200 Celsius for 25 minutes (of follow the instructions on whatever pack you get!) 

When it's finished, take the haddock out of the packet, spread over one tablespoon of ricotta and sprinkle chopped spinach leaves on top and bake again for ten more minutes.

Chop up peppers, tomatoes, olives, cashews and whatever else you want to add! Mix together with rocket and spinach leaves and drizzle over your salad dressing. I used Sainsburys low fat honey and mustard! 

Get the haddock out of the oven and lay it on top of the salad and serve!

I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know if you want to see more!

Also let me know if you try it out!

Thanks for reading :)

Review | Burts Bees Cuticle Cream

So I bought this recently because my nails have been really bad since the start of winter! The cold weather dries out my skin and nails and they just need some extra tlc! I love Burts Bees products and had heard some good things about this Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream and it was only £5.99 so I thought I'd give it a try! (Buy here)

'For the intensive care and moisturization of dry cuticles and brittle nails Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme is ideal. The strength and health of nails is dependent on healthy cuticles. Use daily rubbing a small amount on the nail and gently pushing back the cuticle.' (Burts Bees)































































First off, it smells lovely! Lemony as you may have guessed, quite strong but it doesn't last ages so it's not too overpowering. It's quite a thin consistency, much like the Burts Bees Miracle Salve. You only need a tiny bit on each nail so it should last for a while! 
It's very moisturizing and is slowly repairing my cuticles. I use it everytime I paint my nails so maybe once a week, I may try using it everyday to speed up the results!

I really like using this and it's definitely improving the condition of my cuticles so I'd recommend it to anyone who's had the same problem over winter!

Have you tried any cuticle creams?
What did you think?

Review | Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara

Hello!
How are you? Hope you're all having a good week!

I have a review I've really been looking forward to doing today, it's Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara. It's been around for ages and I've seen so many reviews and always meant to try it but never got round to buying it. My mum knew I wanted it and got it for me for Christmas so I've finally tried it and I'm so glad I did! 

I've always been perplexed by how I put makeup on in the morning, and look in the mirror only a few hours later to find black smudges under my eyes! I thought it was eyeshadow dropping down so stopped putting it on the bottom, still there. Tried wearing no eyeliner on the bottom, that wasn't it! And then I realised that it was mascara rubbing off of my bottom lashes onto my undereye, so I gave up and stopped wearing mascara on the bottom altogether. 
Then I tried this and it is AMAZING. It's the only mascara that doesn't leave me with massive black smudges under my eyes after a few hours, needless to say that's not a good look! It looks so nice and lasts all day, it's definitely something I'll be repurchasing! (Thanks Mum!)

It's so cute and small! The pattern on the bottle is so pretty just like most Clinique products and the wand is really diddy, perfect for getting the small lashes that big wands cant reach. I apply this to the top of my bottom lashes, near the base and don't apply all the way down (because they are quite long and it looks odd!) then I also use it to coat the smaller lashes in the corners of my eye on the top lid. It's a lovely formula and doesn't dry out, it lasts better than any other mascara I've used. I'll apply it at around 7 in the morning and it will still be in place when I get in at 7 in the evening! I can't rave about it enough!

£11 may seem a lot for such a tiny bottle but it's definitely worth the money!

Have you tried this?
