Hey guys! So this Eau De Toilette spray was purchased online from The Body Shop, I was so excited to try this because Raspberry is a very fruity, clean and fresh scent which would be perfect for summer and hot nights. When it arrived it looked super cute in a 30ml bottle, the smell was just as expected which I loved. The only thing which disappointing me was the scent didn't last very long, I would say for around an hour. But for the price, it is perfect for just after a hot bath, or if your just hanging around in the garden during summer nights.

Hey guys! So I thought I would write a post about best ways to get freebies, a lot of people are worried they feel too "Cheeky" right? Well don't there is various methods you can try to get you hands on freebies and samples of products.

1. Visiting counters - Cosmetics
Going to stores like Boots or Debnhams which have various cosmetic brand counters can be an easy way to grab yourself some freebies! Although you have to be cheeky for this, and can be intimidated to buy something but if your confident this shouldn't be a problem for you! Just ask details about a certain product, or even tempt into buying one and ask them to trail it out (E.g right foundation for you?) then once they are done you can walk away and usually they give you various Samples & Freebies. (This is only sometimes depending if the worker is genrous!)

2. Magazines
Usually in magazines you always have a page which offers a free sample pack of a perfume, or BB cream right? Well majority of fashion magazines offer these including Glamour Magazine, VOGUE etc.. Some even come with free gifts so be sure to check them out on the shelves!

3. Social Media
Various Social Media sites the most common being Twitter offer lots of giveaways also known as "Freebie Friday" so be sure to search hashtags like #FreebieFriday #Win #Giveaway where majority require you to "Retweet" and "Follow", some giveaways can be pretty awesome! I never thought I could ever win from things like this but over the past year I've won a mobile phone, lip gloss, fake tan, paintings and much more! Plus be sure to checkout the Student Money Saver website here which shows various deals and freebies you can sign up for!

 Be sure to comment below any methods you guys have got! Or let me know if you've ever won anything? + Don't forget to follow my blog over on the home page X

So recently I've been trying out new hair products, I saw this one on The Body Shop website which suggested to use once a week. I began by using a normal Shampoo on my hair, after rinsing that out I applied around one scoop using my fingers over the ends of my hair then rubbing it through the top of my head (but avoid rubbing it into my scalp). I left the product on my hair for around 5 minutes before rinsing it off and then dried my hair normally. I found this product made my hair really really soft, it made my hair look like it was full of life instantly once it was dry. The smell was very "Rainforest" like, reminding me of the outdoors, fresh and "wood" like scent which was actually rather refreshing. I also noticed that I usually wash my hair every other day because otherwise it starts to get "greasy" but this product left my hair healthy and shiny for 3 days before I re-washed it but I could easily of gotten a full four days out of this! I was so shocked, I am honestly in love with this product, as it leaves my hair healthy I will be using this for an every-other-wash.

Hey guys! So as I've been reading a lot of blogs and watching Youtube videos I couldn't help but notice this concealer has been highly rated as one of the best & easiest to use when contouring. This shade was mention several times and stood out to me, I decided to do some research and found a site which sells them! When it arrived it was completely wrapped up and sealed shut, when I took the lid off the product was like fiber brushes and was super soft!


After squeezing the tube a few times the product began to appear out of the fibers and it was so easy to draw onto my face (to begin contouring). At first I just tried this on my cheeks to create cheek bones and more dimension to my face. I drew a very thin line and used an angled brush to blend, the first attempt I tried of this it blended awful the line become very thick and the colour was standing out awful! I retried it a few times and found you need to draw a very little thin line, and blend for a good amount of time (About 3 minutes) without stopping until it has completely blended and I found I have to apply a little powder to further the dimension and the help blend the colour. 


If I am completely honest I am not 100% sure if I love this product, it seems like a lot of effort and isn't a fast solution although once done it does look very good I feel like it does enhance my cheek bones. I think it might just be the colour of the product, I am just not sure!

Let me know in the comments below your thoughts of this product? Have you tried it before? Do you struggle? + Don't forget to follow my blog over on the home page!X

Hey guys! So I recently started talking with Treasure Cove Cases who creates 3D mobile phone cases to how you would like such as Disney. I was really excited to get a case to write about and share my thoughts with you guys, I didn't know 100% what "theme" to pick so asked for a "Girly" "Pink" inspired case.




It was only a day or two after the case was received to fit my phone (HTC Desire) when my case was done and ready! Its really beautiful words can't describe how in love I am, the case has a pink "rubber" style with super cute gems, bows, flowers and all things GIRLY! Treasure Cove Cases have already done a few other various styles which I found really inspirational, all cases vary in prices but usually around £15 (For specific details I would suggest contacting the Facebook page to ask questions!). With the prices having a donation to Flintshire Wildlife & Pet Rescue, something I personally feel close to being an animal lover makes the need to purse these cases more! 



I personally think these cases would be a great gift to a child, lover or friend as they can be designed to any user type / age / gender! 

 Be sure to check out Treasure Cover Cases Facebook here & comment below what design you would request? Have you ordered one yet? All I can say is I am truly in love and the money is being used to help so be sure to like the Facebook page and keep up to date with designs! X

Hey guys! So today I thought I would write about a Lush Bubble Bar which was a "Easter Special", in the shape and appearance of a carrot! Yup a carrot, the actual product is the orange bit and the green bit which I call "Leafy bit! is plastic which you can throw away at the end.

To begin with, the scent... It smells very "fresh" and "outdoors" like reminding me of fields and the air scent (May sound a little weird!). At first I had no idea how to use this product, I tried to mix it around in the water but not much happened, that was when my mum told me I had to run it under the tap. So keeping the water tap on I held the carrot under it and instantly the water was running down under it in a orange colour it let out so many bubbles I can't even begin to explain! I held it for about a minute then removed it because the bubbles began to fill the entire bath and the water turned an orange tone (More of a dull yellowy orange). One thing I do have to point out, is I held the carrot by the green "leafy" bit while running it under the tap and it did fall off and resulted in me holding the bottom half of the carrot so wasn't overly joyed by that! 

Otherwise I have to admit I do kinda like this product a lot, as it is reusable I can say this will easily last me a good 3-4 more times! It let out a huge amount of bubbles but the water wasn't "oily" leaving your feel silky soft it was like any other bubble bath but with more bubbles and fun using it!

So as you guys are probably aware, I am a huge bath lover! I was recently shopping when I saw this and just had to pick it up, mainly because it was "Limited Edition". I always use Radox Bath Soaks they give off so much bubbles and always feel silky soft on your skin just pure relaxing! When I used this one, I literally only needed the smallest amount for lots of bubbles! It turned the water a slight baby pink light colour and the smell was very fruity!

Hey guys, I recently got offered to trail this beautiful Nokia Lumia 930 smartphone from Connects for two weeks. I can honestly say I have fallen in love, the style, size and quality are all perfect for what I look for in a phone. I personally choose my phone based on a good camera & screen quality, this smartphone excels both of these features!



Camera: The rear camera is an amazing 20 mega pixels with a dual-LED flash it catches all the pictures in a sharp and clear quality in pretty much any lightening. Plus the App Store offer so many editing features to enhance the quality even more, it's really easy to use! And with such high quality it is a pleasure to watch videos, just sit back and enjoy let the phone do all the work! 


Appearance: To begin with I was so shocked by the colour, the smartphone back is bright orange (I mean bright bright!) it stands out a lot which I love. Plus you can purchase this phone in three other colours (Green, Black, White) which is very rare because most new smartphone only give you the choice of one or two where as Microsoft are offering a total of four to choose from! The screen size is a large 5 inches, which is becoming more common with newer smartphones. I personally love the size, it fits perfect in your hand without having to stretch to text! The screen edges are smooth and sleek looking very high end, they even off to the sides of a silver trim which works great with the phone! 



Positives: The camera is the major selling point for this phone, I have simply fallen in love with it! The clear sharp colours just throw me every time and the more I use this phone the more I love it! I love the sizing of the screen, and how easy it is to slide your sim card in with iPhone's you have to use a small silver key to poke around or with my HTC you have to tug and tug to open it! With this phone you simply slide across the top which has a very small gap but perfect nail size! And of course, I love the HD Quality screen which is super sensitive and responsive perfect for texting! The battery lasted so long, I didn't have to constantly charge it up, the sound worked perfect when people was texting me, phoning me or my notifications going off it would ring loud enough to hear! I would use the settings on 6/10 and it would be perfect! The other point about this phone is the customization freedom, you can change the layout of the screen "pinning" Apps to the front and switching the orders around.

Negatives: I must admit I tried to push this phone to its limits to get a full response, I noticed when video recording from the rear camera (Selfie) the sound recording wasn't all that loud and you did have to speak up and louder to get a clear recording. Another thing I noticed was that not all the Apps I use was available in the store, I'm not sure why 100% but they will probably get released sometime this year the main App I look for is Depop (Which didn't appear in the store anywhere). I also noticed the Instagram App worked a little different to how I used it on my HTC, on my HTC you could edit the filter more with brightness, shadows etc.. But on this phone you could only pick a filter and not edit it.. Again I think this is because of how new Microsoft has become on the smartphone platform and will probably get fully up to date with the Apps sometime soon. And the only other down point on this phone is that the screen gets dirty quick, of course because it is touch you will get a lot of finger prints but I think if this was my personal phone I would honestly get a plastic screen protector to go over it!

Overall: I have honestly fallen for this phone, I love the colour, the camera and just majority of everything! I would honestly consider buying this phone it has so many bonus features, but I would say it can be rather "complicated" to use and different to some of the other smartphones as it gives a lot more customization but once you get the hang of it, the phone is perfect! I could honestly say I prefer this to my HTC Desire Eye smartphone because the sizing is perfect, I find my smartphone is a bit too big to hold in one hand. 

You can buy this phone on its own as a "Pay as you go" user, or you could get this phone on a contract with EE, O2, Vodafone  and any contract supports! I personally am not a fan of buying contracts and would much rather pay for the phone and place credit on it monthly as I only use about £10 worth! But that's just me!

I decided to choose the pair The New Black Clubmaster because I loved the style, modern yet stylish. Now before I carry on I wanner say how affordable these sunglasses are, yes! They are £7.95 each for Women's, Kids or Men's, plus if you decided to buy two pairs it is £15 and for any extra it is £5 each!!! PLUS FREE POSTAGE!!!! (To the UK). 




The glasses arrived super fast, in a safe packaging with bubble wrap and there own plastic bag + I got a free candy sweet!(Hehehe thank you it was Yummy!!!) When I saw them I instantly fell in love, words couldn't describe honestly I was shocked by how good quality and stylish these glasses where for only £7.95??!?! They have a silver trim around the top and sit very comfortable on my nose, I had no problem with them irritating behind the ear either and I wore them for a good 3-4 hours straight! They worked perfect in sunlight and when I went into the shaded areas they fitted great on top of my head!!! I just love these and honestly would rate this company to anyone who is looking to buy a pair, they offer so many different styles suited for everyone.

Hey guys! As you know I am a huge lover of Yankee Candles, I recently got this one as a swap over on my Depop! I was so excited because I have never tried this scent before and since my all time favorite is Vanilla Cupcake I thought I would just fall in love with this one? I think its because the picture looks so sugary and tasty!

When it arrived I was rather shocked by the scent, it isn't at all what I thought it would be like... It does have a scent of strawberries to it but it is over whelmed by the smell of the buttercream. Usually I think of buttercream being all buttery, and sugary but this scent has very less sugary feel to it and almost like dull smell. It's very hard to explain but I have to honestly say this is one of my least favorites I was very shocked!

Hey guys, so as per usual I am always on the hunt for bargains! I have recently decided to buy some "sporty" clothing (Trainers, sports bra etc) as I plan to take up walking, jogging and maybe even the gym! So I was searching through eBay and came across this beautiful baggy style top for ONLY £2.06 including Postage! I had to just buy it, one because it was so cheap but for two because I thought this would be perfect for sportswear as it has low cut under the arms!

Now as many of you may already know, Asian clothing sizes usually are smaller than what they say. On that note I decided to order a size "Large" just because I wanted it to be baggy anyway, but because I was unsure of what the sizing would be like. It took about a week and a half to be delivered (Which wasn't too long!), it arrived with its original tags on which I love because they are written in Chinese! Once I tried it on I think it fitted perfect to how I wanted it to be, loose and baggy style! To give you guys an estimate idea for sizing I am usually sizes 8-10 UK.

Hey guys, so today I thought I would include something a little different on my blog! And include a post about baking in the kitchen, now I must admit I am not the best cook and usually rely on others to help and support me. One of my favorite deserts is Cheesecake and I saw this bake your own pre-made in a local store!


It came with two packets, the first being biscuit crumbles and the other being a powder cheesecake filling. I began by placing tin foil into a tin covering the edges which will help to pull the cheesecake out of the tin once finished. Then applying 75g of butter into a pan I heated it up until it had all completely melted and then applied the biscuit crumbles into the pan (ensuring it was no longer on the stove) and mixed it together fast using a large table spoon. (Fast so that the melted butter didn't dry up too fast), once the crumbles was stuck together I placed into the pan with tin foil and spread it out evenly using the back of the table spoon and then place in the fridge for 15 minutes. 




I then measured out 235ml of normal milk into a jug, before then placing it into a mixing bowl and applying the cheesecake topping. Using an electric mixer I mixed together for 3 minutes (Holding the bowl on it's side so the milk didn't spill out with the power of the mixer). After 3 minutes the mixture become very thick and almost like a foamy cream substance I applied it into the mixing tray which had the biscuit base from the fridge (ensuring it was completely cool) and using the back of a large table spoon to even it out. Then for decoration I applied some Galaxy Chocolate crumbled over the top before placing in the fridge, which I then left for around 2-3 hours before eating although the box states you could place in the fridge for 45 minutes and it should be fine.
