My Micheal Kors Addiction

Over the last couple of months i have fallen in love with everything Micheal Kors, especially when the shop opened in Leeds City Centre. As everyone will probably know they aren't the cheapest of purchase... so not a good obsession. 


Rose Gold Chunky Watch - £258
Small Purse - £95
Bracelet - £99
They're are some stuff I don't particularly like all the stuff in there but the bags and watches and and bracelets are amazing to me. All theses i have brought are purchases out of my own money. As you can tell i like the colour white plus i bet I'm not the only one who like a bit of expensive guilty pleasure once in a while. I'm always having a gander on websites to try and find out different types of pieces they have brought out. At the moment I'm loving their clothes and shoes collection as they've got some beautiful sandal's which are to die for. People call me crazy for spending this much money on them but i can't help it, i don't think iv met a girl who doesn't like Micheal Kors produce or wants to have something from their website or shop. 

Hope every ones having a good weekend, I'm currently away in york at the minute enjoying a day without seeing any rain...which probably won't last trusting the British weather at the moment. 







P.S As you can tell my picture are far better quality that when i first started blogging, I've been playing around with them lately so I'm exited to put a higher quality picture into my blog

The Body Shop Mini Haul


After hearing loads of good stuff about the Vitamin E range at The Body Shop, I already have a moisturiser so i wanted to try something different to that. As i was looking up and down i came across this beauty. This is the Vitamin E Face Mist, when i went up to the woman to explain when you use it; she stated that "you can use it when ever you like through out the day, plus if you spray if before you put it on before your make up it is used as a primer". I already use a primer but i need all the help to keep me makeup on, no matter how much money i spend. Its so simple and eye catching, I don't normally shop at The Body Shop but after iv started blogging I've started to expand my range of beauty products.

I've used this Deep Sleep Dreamy Pillow & Body Mist before but when i was younger i wasn't really sure if it was working, so now that I'm older and assessing my sleeping habit's i can tell weather its going to be doing its job. I wanted to get this because i have trouble with my sleeping, as have ever since I've had a fall off a horse a couple of months back which i still haven't gone and got seen, its not like i don't sleep i just wake up various times in the night then wonder why I'm always tired. After trying sleeping pills which worked sort of but I'm still not back to my old self. This problem doesn't help as i cant sleep past 9 due to me having to get up early to go cater to my horse...its become a habit but I'm hoping this is going to work for me as I've heard good stuff about it. 

I will do another post in a couple of week to tell you how these products have gone and if i like them or not and if they're worth you're money. 

I hope you're all having a good week and everyones well... Mines been great! Have you tried anything like these products or these one's? if so what was your thoughts on them?

Best Make Up Buys

Recently I've changed my whole foundation that I use, and I have to say its been the best decision I've ever made! I use to wear liquid foundation and when ever I put on powder i never thought it gave me the right coverage, until i found Bare Minerals. I use to walk past this stale and not really think anything of it until i tried it. I first tried the loose powder which was brilliant but i found out that i got better coverage off the compressed powder. 

Before I committed to anything, so i brought this little travel pack which have everything in it, so before i committed to anything i thought this would be the best idea to start with, after id finished with that i had to get some more. With the travel pack you get a small slanted brush which you apply your foundation with, when you get the bigger individual sets you will get a bigger brush, when i purchased it i found the small brush had better coverage as the big brush was to flimsy.


If you don't know anything about this make up then, it is a make up that doesn't go into your pores, the minerals help your skin rather than irritating it and causing you to have break ups. Since I have trouble with spots I'm very cautious on if i use concealer or not but i find this one amazing, its got the best converge that i have ever found.

In the picture, i have a mixture of products;
1. Foundation - medium
2. Touch-up veil
3. Bronzer
4. Concealer
5. Iluminizer

My Daily Makeup 
Everything i use works perfectly for my skin, how you found any make up which works good for spot prone skin?

ASOS Beauties I'm Swooning Over


Ever since I was a young teen i have always had a obsession with shoes and trainers, they just make me so happy. I am normally a lover of high platformed shoes but ever since I started blogging I have started to kindle my love for small heels. These are shoes that when i saw them i instantly fell in love and i just want to get them. I personally need to get some more pastel colours but I'd just a lover of shoes which are black and white, personally i think white and black goes with everything so they are normally my staple colours for any out fit. These will WILL be with me when i go on holiday as i don't like to wear my  big heels while I'm away. I generally can't think of a pair which are the favourite out of the 6 because I love them all so much. As I can walk, run and dance is god know how high stilettos then picking my type of heel is not very hard, but as me being quite a tall girl i am going to be opting for a more subtle get effective heel. These all will go nice with my golden tan while I'm soaking up the sun on my 3 beautiful holidays.

New Beauty Buys



Body Shop Leeds - £5
This one i was a bit wary of getting as some oft them don't react good with my spots, but i though as my skin is clearing up i may as well give it a try. I do use the herbalism from lush and that is a cleaner so i find this good for after id done that. I actually like it as i don't normally get anything from The Body Shop but it calms my skin after the cleaner which can be very harsh at getting my make-up of, not that is use a very strong make up. I think this is going to be the one that finishes of my facial routine to clear my spots and get my that clear skin iv always wished for, for the past 2 years. 
Harvey Nicols Leeds - £61 (10% Discount)
As I walked into Harvey Nicols I was straight over to see the perfumes, this is the one that a normally get but i had ran out  a couple of months before. When the woman showed me this small bottle which was twice as strong as the other one i though in my head "i need to get this". While i was in the shop i'd sprayed it on me so when i was stood getting undressed for the sun bed, I just couldn't stop smelling myself. The smell was that overwhelming I fell in love with it all over again. So i had to buy it, the woman who was serving us was so lovely and helpful & she was so happy to see us again (probably because she knew she has a sale), i got 10% off which saved me some money... not a a lot but some. If you're looking for a perfume then i would just try this one you never know you may fall in love with it as much as me. 

Have you found a skin care range which work for spots, i'd love to to know! I hope you all have a had a good week and hope you all have another great bank holiday, cannot believe this is like this 5th one just this year and were not ever half way through.

Summer twisters

As I was layed in my bed  this morning watching the weather I though i might need a refreshing snack which is going to be healthy.  I was making a smoothie and before id be searching  and saw people were freezing them so as i just purchansed some like lollie holders from primark the day before (quite ironic) i though i may as well use them. 
Primark -£1.50
Well you obviously guess how you make a smoothie and all thats so i wont go into it but i will say you have a blender and just blend it all. 

What I used: 
1. Morrisons own low fat natural yoghurt. 
2. Morrisons mixed summer fruits
4. Tropicana orange smooth
5. Fresh blueberries 
6. Blender 






You will leave then in the fridge for about a day, thats what im doing. You could always add protein or anything you like to make a new refreshing low fat healthy snack for this wonderful summer days and weather.  Let me know what sort of combinations you have come up with i would love to know! These are brilliant if your wanting to keep up with your healthy eating like i am  trying to do. Hope you all have a brilliant weekend .

First ever haul: Spring/Summer

All from Primark

As iv started to browse around the shops lately, I have been wanting to find some affordable tops which are nice. I must admit that I do have a very expensive taste as iv been known to go and by my clothes from Micheal Kors etc (which is not good for my bank balance). So I though i may need to cut down a bit, as I went into Primark to get my daily socks and pants i stumbled across the new spring/summer collection, I'm not going to lie i fell in love with it all. I started buying just some trousers and a top and that was it until i kept going in buy more and more stuff!! 

Before I use to associate Primark with chavs (as we may all have done in the past) but they are starting to grow and grow on me and i cant help but love it, although some of the stuff do still look a bit cheap and tacky i never can stand in the Que waiting to buy my clothes with out seeing something that i want to buy on my next trip in their. 

there is some stuff that i wouldn't buy from their like some of the shoes and some make up and beauty as i like the best for my skin etc. But if you are looking for some nice summery clothes to keep you going through summer at not a high price then i would get down to your local store just to have a look if some thing is going to tickle your fancy.






These are the items that i bought the other day, they all come to about £52, which to me isn't quite bad as i'm not very good with finding nice tops and if i went and shopped at topshop the price of that could of only bought me 2 things or less. 

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend, what ever you are doing. Iv just been sorting out my blog and changing everything around so it looks a bit more like me so i hope you all like it.

Detox Water

Detox Waters
Iv become such a fan of detox water ever since i found out the effects of Lemon water, it so good for your skin, brain and just your whole well being, its been such a lift for me since i started drinking it. As i dont like water on its own i just always use squash i though it was really good for me, iv decided to cut out more of the sugary drinks (not always but im trying) for this because i can put the lemon in on a morning and then it will last me all day as i just need to fill it up with water.

I found these on twitter on a healthy food account, they just lit up my eyes with all the vibrant colour and just how beautiful they looked, i was instantly hooked! Some of them are unusual flavours but im going to be trying out all of  these to see what they will be like (exept the pinapple one as i cant have it).

I will be posting in a few weeks on how these got on and you'll see if my presentation is as good as theirs!! I would highly recommend drinking the lemon water atleast once a day as it can have such a imact (good wise) on your healthy and just in general. It swaps the boring water for something more tastey. It doesnt take much time and you can chose how strong you want it to be.

Vasaline Spray & Go Review

I was looking in super drug the other week as i wanted my eyes brows treading. I always want a fast drying moisturiser which isn't going to be making me slimy and have a wet sort of feeling, so as i was browsing the lane i picked up this product. I always love aloe Vera because it protects and just does good for my skin so this seemed like the perfect thing for me.

It took me a few weeks to get me to use it as i don't really have time only time to really do my face, but over the last week i decided i should give it a go after id of been on some sun beds. When i first used it it was really cold but i though that would be due to my cold room it had been standing in for quite a while but one the upside to that it really did do good for my skin. You do need quite a lot of spray to fill your legs i find (but i don't have quite long legs so this may be why). So i kept on using it and i kept it in a warmer surroundings but the temperature of the moisturiser as it came out didn't change and this is the only thing which is putting me off using it. 

I am very sensitive to the cold so something that is cold is just torture to me, i do not reach good to it.  On this down side i will be on my search for another quick drying moisturiser :(. 
Vaseline Spray & Go 
Have you tired this product have you have the same problems as me? Or do you find something better id love to know as this seems to me an ongoing task for me lately.

Luscious Lush

Over the past few weeks i have been trying to find out what is good for my skin and whats not! I want to use something that isn't harsh like i use bareminerals make up (wish is fabulous), right well...
1.
2.

1. Herbalism 
Well i went into lush and the lovely man came over and started talking to me i was going into him about what sort of stuff i used in my skin and how often, as we got talking i was mentioning that i used the angels on bare skin (another lush product!!) you use it exactly the same as that nothing different. So i said it wasnt really doing anything for my spots, as they are really bad :( so then he said i should go and use this as an alternative to that. So i bought it and went on my way. I couldnt of wished for a better product, i dont take my make up of i use it to take my make up of instead of wipes (i take my eye make up or with wipes) i cant quite remember how he said it help spots but it seriously does work, i use it every day and night and the difference in my skin is amazing. When i use other cleaners i feel like my skins not clean and i love to wash my face and this basically does it all. I dont use a foundation which goes into your pores which helps a lot but all the dirt and muck which is collected in the day feels all brand new and gone. I also wasnt disapointed in how much i got i was really chuffed with the price it was and the amount it got... Really worth a must buy is your having trouble with your skin!
2. Tea Tree Water Toner
This product doesnt really do much for me in order of helping my spots but the lush man said i should keep on using it as it will help any hiding break outs which it mush be working as iv had hardly any of it. I love to use a toner as i feel it make my skin more tight and firmed after iv washed my face and get rid of any hidden dirt. I use it after the herbalism and the spray bottle makes it excellent for controlling how much you can use. If i fell my spots are dirty then i spray as much in the area (i may get abit carried away oops) but if i didnt have troubled skin i wouldnt opt for this products id go for one of their other products on offer. 
3. Mask of Magnaminty
I use this product 3 times a week. Twice at night and once in a morning, after iv used it my skin feels so much better you can feel it working as your skin get tighter and when its off i feel such a different in my spots they feel so calm and collected. Not like there going to be red, they are also soothed down wish is reallt good when im doing my make up as it more controlled surface to do it on. Some people dont like using face masks as it strips all the natural oil from your skin but tbh i think this actually helps it. There is a strong lavender smell to it but it does not linger on your skin after you've wash it off which is good if you aren't very keep on the smell. Basically how i use it is slap on as much as you need and leave it for 10 mins. I went in lush today and iv just purchesed there cool face mask called cosmetic warrior which have to be put into the fridge, these in last 3 weeks and have to be kept cool as the products are reallt strong but i will be doing a review on that laster on. 
3. Grease Lightning 
As iv said with all of these it will dramatically reduce your spots. I put it on at night just before i go to bed it dry super fast so you arent worrying that its going to be rubbing of on your pillow, i always wake up and see if there a difference and 8/10 times there is i couldn't ask for a better products if i tried. Although all these positives i only find on negative is that i always have to wash my face not wipe it as the left overs on the serum always effect my make up but apart for the minor disadvantage everything is fine. It really does do what it says on the tin. I always put it on the tiny spots the big spots and the place where i can feel a spot brewing and they are always come up with a white head or not at all saving me on the self consciousness of them. The thing i love id that you can reapply this product when ever you like but if you do that i wouldnt put a lot on as it will leave a white crush on your face. 
4. Enchanted eye cream 
Iv never really thought about using an eye cream before as i didnt see the use if it, but after i went for my make up trial and they put some on but i didnt really want one which had loads of chemical in so when i saw it i had to get it, i noticed abit of difference but dont think iv been using it much to notice to be honest but i would advise everyone to use an eye cream as its reallt thin skin which can get damaged and it just helps it be revived. 

Have you tired anything which helps spot pron skin or tried anything of these products and how have they worked for you? 

Lots of lots
