My Basic Night Time Routine

Today, I share with you my basic night time routine, Hope you like it x

5 Things I Learnt In 2O15

O1. I suck at keeping up to date on my blog despite having more time to myself but life just suddenly takes over and I have no time to write. So this year I want to aim to get more posts up and improve my time-keeping skills because I'm late for EVERYTHING.

O2. I suck at keeping new years resolutions. Last year I wanted to drink more water and experiment with what I wear. Both of which I started of well doing but by March I had forgotten what they were and gave up but then had periods when I did drink loads of water. #FAIL

O3. Berlin and Malta are insanely beautiful for different reasons. I loved Berlin because of the art museums and the range of shops that we don't get in Bristol; And I loved Malta because it was a STUNNING country, there was just blue sea and it was very relaxing and peaceful and did wonders for my mind.

O4. I'm the biggest creature of habit. If I go into a shop to buy my lunch or go out to any familiar restaurant, I instantly make a B line for the things I know I love and I won't look to try something new. Same with netflix I watch the same things over and over again without watching anything new. So if you have any recommendations please share!

O5. I cringe way to much about the past. Late at night my mind gets going and I think of a past memory that makes me cringe SO hard and in that moment in time I wish the ground would eat me up alive even though I know I can't do anything about it as it's a thing that has previously happened but my mind still goes into overtime.

PS. Sorry the image doesn't go with the title of this post, I've left it too late in the day to take a picture with natural lighting. Another fail.

WISHLIST: Rebecca Minkoff Dupe

Everyone who knows me knows that I LOVE bags and they are my greatest weakness in life after skincare and after seeing this bag in Marks and Spencer, I might have died and gone to heaven. Now the title is a bit deceiving because it's not a proper dupe, I just saw the clasp on the front and the first thing that popped into my mind was it looks like a Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac but on further inspection of the bag it seems like that is where the similarities end. On the Autograph Leather Boxy Shoulder Bag the strap is different as it's all leather whereas the RM bag has a material and chain strap. Another difference is on the RM bags they have tassels and the Autograph ones don't. Another thing the Autograph bag doesn't have a pocket on the front which I think works really well it almost looks more 'formal'. The last difference is that I think the Autograph bag is a tad bigger as it also has a pocket in the middle which would be handy to store important things like keys and money or things that could get lost! So to sum up if you want a bigger bag for your buck get the Autograph one but if you want chains and tassels get the RM bag.

Until next time, Sam x

Guess who's back..

Back again tell a friend.

Hello everyone! About the title I just had to go with that classic.. Any way lets get back to what this post is about, I'm back blogging after my long unannounced break, my blog took a back seat whilst my a levels were more demanding than ever and with working part time but doing more hours I just didn't have time but now that I have finished and am taking a gap year I will have more time to put more in, I will hopefully be uploading 2-3 times a week. Now I've cleared that up I hope you have a lovely evening.

Barry M 'Pink Flamingo'

Hey guys, sorry I've been absent from my blog for past couple of weeks but life has been pretty cray, and I've had to put my energy into other things, but I should be back for a while now that I'm on study leave. Anyway enough of the ramble and lets get on with this review! I've had this shade in my collection for about a year now and I still can't put my finger on this colour because initially it looks like a coraly-pink and then in some lights it turns to a bright almost neon colour. I would definitely call it a Barbie Pink.

Formula wise it is quite thin so I did have to use two-three coats to get a fully opaque colour and on top I used my Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat, which made the polish have a nice shine to it. As I'm typing this, it's my third day of wearing it and it's showing minor signs of wear at the tips but it's nothing major. I think this colour just shouts spring/summer nails, and I think it will suit every skin tone. I'd say it took about five minutes for it to be completely dry as I used a top coat and a dry spray.

I love this shade as it's good quality for the £2.99 price tag which you can buy at Boots or Superdrug.

Do you like this shade?

Nail Of The Day #8

Hey guys, today I thought I would do a quick post and tell you what's on my tips. On my nails today I have got Barry M nail paint in 'Pink Flamingo'. The colour is like an almost neon coral with more pink undertones than orange which I love as already I feel more summery.

What's on your digits?
