ASOS A-LIST

One of the many things I love about ASOS is that you can shop so many unique brands that you otherwise would never have found. This gorgeous dip dye knit is by a brand called Stitch & Pieces, the ladders remind me of Kanye West's Yeezy range... but I promise that is definitely not why I purchased it. I also ordered my Converse on ASOS, and with excellent delivery and returns services you can understand why it is everyones absolute go to online clothing store! 

Ciate Liquid Velvet Review

I am a huge fan of the matt look liquid lipsticks, the only problem I find is that they are so drying on your lips they can be quite uncomfortable to wear. While browsing the Ciate London site I stumbled across the new Liquid Velvet range. With the promise of being both long-wearing and moisturizing I quickly added one to my basket.  

PIXI Brow Brightener Review

When I heard that PIXI had released a brow brightener I was intrigued. My brows aren't something I have really spent that much time thinking about, but when 'brows on fleek' became a thing I thought I should take a closer look at mine. I went along with my friend Alice for a HD Brow session however the technician told me she thought I would be much better off keeping mine natural, and I had to agree. 

Threads Beauty Review

When the lovely people over at Threads Beauty got in touch with me to see if I wanted to try out some of their false eyelashes I nearly snatched their hands off. I am a massive fan of the effect falsies provide although I am not the best at applying them. 

Make Up of the Month - February

 

This months make up is not dis similar to last's. I just can't seem to shake that Autumn vibe and I think the horrible weather in the UK has something to do with it! 

Saira Shoes Bloggers Event

On Thursday evening myself and my lovely friend Jodie attended the Saira Shoes event in the stunning location of Ninety Eight Bar Shoreditch. 

Tips for Thicker Healthier Hair.

Most people have that one thing that they wish they could change about their appearance, right? 

Well for me it's my hair! 

My mum is a hairdresser and always knew what was best for my hair (of course she did but I didn't agree at the time) when I moved out of her house I decided she was no longer in control of my hair and went on a mission to get it exactly how I wanted it. The problem is sometimes you just have to work with what you've got rather than completely changing it, this is a lesson I learned the hard way!

The picture above is my hair at its worst and then a recent snap where my hair is visibly in much better condition. 

Here are some tips that have helped my hair get back on track: 

Let's chat about Instagram

Oh Instragram you are a conundrum.

I have spent the last three months obsessing over instagram, I have probably read every post ever written on instragram tips and I've even completely renovated my account. My followers are very very very (one more very) slowly rising and although this isn't the be all and end all as a blogger, which you probably are, you want to have your hard work recognised, right? 

Sharing the love with Zazzle #loveisAtoZ

Whether you dread it or crave it there is no avoiding that V word, Valentine's day is well and truly on it's way. I've never massively bought into it myself, I think it's kind of sad that this one day splits the nation in two. If you are lucky enough to have someone special in your life you shouldn't need just one day to show your appreciation, but we all know that the days whizz by so quickly sometimes it is easy to forget to show you care. Valentine's day is a reminder to be thankful and a chance to put a smile on the face of someone who brightens your day.

When Zazzle emailed me to see if I would be interested in collaborating with them on a Valentine's post with a difference I jumped at the chance. The lovely folk over at Zazzle want to celebrate the other types of love this Valentine's, although romantic love is grand what about the love that gets taken for granted?

Spending the night with Russell Brand

Last night I attended my first ever stand up comedy show and in my very own home county of Essex.

This wasn't just a normal stand up performance however this was to raise money for a little boy called Jackson. Jackson Garwood was diagnosed with Infantile Krabbes Disease which unfortunately is terminal. The Garwood family are doing all they can to keep Jackson smiling for as long as possible. Darren, Jackson's dad, bumped into none other than Russell Brand at West Ham football ground and asked if he would mind signing a few books to be auctioned and help raise funds, Russell went one better though and said he would do a show.... What a guy! 

The Libertines @ The 02

My history with The Libertines, or more accurately Pete Doherty is extensive. In fact it is probably the only constant throughout my adolescence. I first fell in love at the end of 2003 at the tender age of sixteen when they released their second album, I can't remember how I found them but on first listen I was hooked. 

I've lost count at how many times I have seen Pete live, I was even lucky enough to be in the front row for a small gig at Shepherds Bush Empire once where he touched my hand (I did eventually have to wash it) I waited for hours out the back to try and get a photo but he never came ... I'm hopeful for one day!
