The Boyfriend Tag

So I finally recorded a video and put it on Youtube, I've done a few short ones before on holiday and stuff, but they are in bad quality and I had no idea how to fix them! I FINALLY figured it out and it was a looong process, but I had so much fun actually making this video and I really want to make more. I love watching youtubers and they all seem to be having to much fun doing it. 

So hopefully I'll have some new videos up soon :)

NXY Haul

Since reading so many amazing reviews of nyx make up and seeing how good it looked over and over again I really wanted to try some of their stuff out! So last week I finally got round to ordering some stuff, I ordered on the Wednesday night and it arrived by Friday morning which I was really impressed by, I later read on the site that they aim to do next day delivery which is so good for an impatient person like me. They also do free delivery for orders over £40 which is a plus.


The middle one is the Soft Matte Lip Cream in Antwerp, £5.50, I love everything about this product. It smells like cupcakes is highly pigmented and isn't super drying like matte lip products can be. I want this in pretty much all the other shades. 
  



 Its my new favourite.

I also got the Jumbo Lip Pencil in Chaos, £5, this is a really moisturising product and its super smooth, I like this because I get such dry lips in winter.

 I got the HD Concealer Wand in the lightest shade CW1O porcelain, I wanted this to be pretty light so I could use it to brighten my under eye area so this is a perfect shade for that. I love this concealer its really good coverage and only creases a tiny bit, it also lasts all day. I didn't do swatches which is a blogging fail, but my camera had low battery. 

NYX products are much better than a lot of high street make up brands I've tried and they are all 100% cruelty free and really good quality, so excited to try some more of their products!

Has anyone else tried any amazing nyx products ?

Introducing Snarf the exotic shorthair kitty!

I did a post introducing Cuddles so I have to do one for Snarf.

1. Snarf's real pedigree name is Adefish Shield Wall, the Shield Wall part is because the guy who named her loved world of warcraft.

2. Cuddles and Snarf are sisters, but they are very different. Snarf is exotic short hair and Cuddles has long hair.

3.Snarf is a hairy monster she sheds like CRAZY, if you touch her you will get a handful it gets all over pretty much everything, this gives her pretty bad hair balls because she loves to groom herself all day long. So we give her Katalax which has cold liver oil and helps her stop getting sick from hair balls.

4. Snarf is extremely silent, she almost never meows! When she was a kitten she would open her mouth, but no sound would come out! I thought she'd lost her voice. The exception to this is when she see's birds! Then she chirps and growls.

5. Snarf LOVES melon, soon as she sees I have some she goes wild.

6. Snarf isn't super sunggly, she likes to do her own thing and doesn't like being held for too long.




I post cat pictures on Instagram pretty much everyday so if you like cat photos follow me there :)

Style crush: Twin Peaks

So recently in-between doing loads of uni work I've been watching Twin Peaks and I'm a little obsessed. The whole setting of the show is so pretty and the cast are just some of the most flawless people I've ever set eyes on but mainly I'm obsessed with the clothes and style of the female cast, classic cuts, pencil skirts, polo knits perfect make up and the most perfect flowing locks all day long.


So I picked some pretty things that I can wear while pretending I'm a a resident. 

Earrings: Topshop £12
Red polo: Topshop £38
Pink fluffy jumper: Topshop £36
Soft Matte Lip cream NYX: £5.50
Loafers: Office £60
Green A-line skirt: Monki £20
Pink cropped knitted jumper: Topshop £42
Tartan skirt: New Look £18

I actually just bought some NYX make up after reading so many amazing reviews! So I'll post about that soon :) 
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Real Housewives Addiction




So on Saturday I finally got this book and I was SO excited, I'd been waiting ages and since I was off work I actually had time to read it. 
I was hooked and finished it by Saturday evening. I'd watched this season where Taylor was dealing with these issues, but never really thought much of it. The whole thing was pretty vague in the show. Real houswives is hella dramatic at the best of times and only shows a little of what's really going on and obviously it's over the top, but Taylor's problems were much worse that it seems on the show and although the book is definitely not a positive story, it does have a positive outcome and is totally worth a read if your a fan. 
I now want all the books by the housewives I'm just a trashy TV addict, a new season started on ITV today but I've been busy with uni work so haven't watched. 
Being back at uni has been taking up all my time, I've hardly been to the gym and I haven't had the energy to work out at home, hopefully I can get on top of it this week and get back next week. 

Today I wore this super cute Meow jumper from the Bats and Cats range at Forever 21! I love it, Cuddles meh.

OOTD

 Yesterday I went for birthday dinner with my family so I got to wear a pretty new dress I'd got for my birthday. I love this Zara dress, its super pretty. Zara isn't my usual go to shop, but recently I've been going more and found so many pretty dresses in styles/ shapes that are exactly what I'm always looking out for. I still don't have a tripod so Wes is my photo taker and he does a good job!


Dress: Zara
Jumper: H&M
Necklace: River Island
Boots: New Look

Wishlist

So it's just been my birthday and I got lots of pretty stuff so shouldn't really be looking at more things, but I need breaks in between boring writing dissertation stuff.
When I was in London I went to the muji store and I love the storage boxes!! I don't really have any proper make up storage just now, but these are so perfect and really affordable.


Coco Fennel do the prettiest dresses, I already have 2 and I adore them! This sailor dress is something I can imagine wearing all the time its just SO cute. The tutti fruity one is also amazing.


Last thing i'm lusting over is some NYX make up. I've read so many good things about NYX and I really want to try a few of their lip products I've just never got round to actually ordering. I'm on a spending ban after going a little wild with birthday presents, but after I hand in some essays this stuff is on my rewards list.
