Hello my lovelies,
Before I get onto the post I want to say sorry for not posting on Tuesday I've had coursework deadlines and haven't had a chance to post.
Anyway today I thought I'd give you an idea of my personal shoe essentials and how far through my list I have gotten.
I used polyvore to create this
1. A good Ol' sturdy pair of Dr Martens. I have wanted a pair of these for about 3 years now and I'm hoping to buy some soon. They might seem pricey but I know people who have had theirs for years!

2. Another pair of boots but these are more fashionable. They're the Vagabond Libby boots, I did think at first that these wouldn't be very comfy and I would regret wearing them, BUT I have found myself feeling the complete opposite. They've molded to my feet super quickly and are so comfortable. Plus they look good with everything and make your legs look AMAZING!

3. Black and white converse. Converse appear a few times throughout my essentials but they're really good shoes and last me such a long time. I love these ones and I really want to buy more pairs for reasons I will explain when I get to them (if that makes sense?) 

4. These are the 'Old Skool Shoes' I think these would be great for throughout the year as they go with everything and look super comfortable.

5.  The ones in the photo are the 'Authentic Shoes' but I am debating between these and the 'Ezra Shoes' because I think they both look good... hmm too many decisions! I think these will be great for summer especially. I love wearing comfortable shoes and vans are definitely comfy.

6. Here is another pair of converse, I really like these for wearing on the colder days of summer with a little skirt or some shorts as I think they can make your legs look quite short when worn with jeans. I like the all black because I think it makes my legs look nicer, nothing more than personal preference to be honest.

7. Lastly are another pair of converse this time the white Oxford converse, I really like the black ones but when I wear black jeans wearing my black converse sort of make me look like a scary hard core rock chick and I think that white shoes would help a lot with this problem of mine. They would be great for in the summer except that they could get pretty dirty which would suck but is also a small price to pay.

I hope this has helped you if you are trying to decide on some new shoes, I know there isn't much colour but I don't wear much colour at all (sorry).
So far I have 2/7 of my essential pairs and I will keep you all updated on any new purchases.
What are your shoe essentials?
I hope you're all having a great week!
Much love <3

Hello my lovelies,
So as promised here is a little review for the Maybelline "Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser" Primer.
I really loved my little tester of the Benefit Porefessional primer and really want to buy the full tube but it is too expensive for me to buy at present so I was looking for a good dupe or a product to use in the mean time and I have found this to be really good.


Sometimes I don't want to wear foundation all the time so I tend to like to use just a primer, powder and maybe some concealer on my face. So I feel like it is quite important to get a good quality primer and this is one I'd heard about and had quite a few good reviews so I thought I would give it ago. 
I think it does quite a good job at erasing your pores and making your skin look a bit more flawless. 
It feels quite lightweight on the skin but it can also feel slightly greasy on your skin even though it doesn't look it and doesn't really go that far on your skin which is a bit annoying. It also doesn't feel very nice on your skin it just sits on top even if you buff it in really well like with foundation.
It is quite, matte but I think that it makes it look more natural especially if you are going to apply foundation over the top. I really like the finish of this primer and it does erase my pores and helps keep my makeup on which is what its for.
I think if you are looking for a cheaper primer this is a great one but in my opinion you definitely get what you pay for.
I hope you're all having a really good week!
Much Love <3

Hello my lovelies, 
Recently I went a bit crazy in Super drug and thought that I would share with you what I bought.
Here is everything


Of course first I went to Rimmel and when I saw they had a 3 for 2 offer on I couldn't resist buying these lovely Kate Moss lipsticks, I bought the shades 101 which is a matte nude colour, 01 which is a gorgeous red and 05 which is a sort of rosey pink. They were £5.49 each.



 Also from Rimmel I bought the Stay Matte powder in Translucent. I love this powder I think it is just the perfect drugstore product with high end product qualities, so for £3.99 it is perfect!

Sticking with face products I have been craving benefits porefessional for ages but I have had to admit that right now it is too expensive and I need a primer now. I'd read a few reviews about this product and they were all pretty positive so I decided to trust my fellow bloggers and but the Maybelline 'Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser' primer and I actually really like it and am going to do a full review post on it soon!


As you can see it is a gel consistency but it really does exactly what it says on the packaging very impressed.

The last thing I bought was this Bourjois colour boost lip crayon in the shade 03 Orange Punch. As most of you know I loved my Maybelline colour sensational/popsticks in 060 Citrus Slice but I have pretty much run out. This product is pretty much the same colour.



The colour is quite faint here but looks great on the lips
Overall I am really enjoying all of these products and can't wait for summer to come around now!
What have you guys been loving? 
I hope you're all having a great week! 
Much love <3

Hello my lovelies, 
So last weekend it was my mamas birthday and as you may know we went to York, while I was there I made some cheeky purchases from YSL. As you know I've wanted a YSL lipstick for ages when I bought one the lovely lady gave me a little travel sized babydoll mascara. 

 I bought the 'ROUGE VOLUPTE SHINE' in the shade 13 'Pink in Paris' I really love it as it's not too bright but it is also a really nice shade on your lips to add a bit of colour to my outfit as you know I wear a lot of black. Plus it smells of watermelon a little bit and I love it!
I really like this mascara and I genuinely want to buy the bigger version already. I think this will become a little handbag essential and will stay in my make-up bag pretty permanently. 
I hope you guys are all having a lovely week!
Much love <3
