Fashion/Beauty Haul!

Helloooooo everyone :) I hope you're all well.

Recently I've been shopping and I've bought a few things so I thought that I'd make a blog post about some stuff I bought. I love reading/watching other people's hauls I always find them so interesting and want so much stuff they have! :-) x

As it's now autumn and winter is coming soon I needed some more long sleeve things such as jumpers but not big fluffy things if you know what I mean? So I recently picked up some different ones, I love what they all say on the front!!

Full Time Fashion Blogger I LOVE THIS! I have seen this sooo many times when I went in River Island but I never wanted to  spend £25 on it :| but it was now in the sale for £12!! So I knew I just had to get it:) I mean come on, full time fashion blogger?! It's so me haha!! I also love how the fashion is a pink background making it stand out more! So this was just £12 from River Island.

Nothing To Wear: I also LOVE this omg. Nothing to wear describes how I feel everytime I look in my wardrobe yet there's clothes there. This is such a great jumper which you can literally throw on with any bottoms on as it's white and goes with anything! Something which is also great to lounge around in :) I got this from New Look and I'm pretty sure it was either £10 or £12, but i'm not sure sorry!

I picked up 3 Barry M original polishes and a glitter polish too, these were actually on buy one get one free which was amazing tbh! I'm actually obsessed with nail polish I never leave the house without a colour on my nails, I hate the way they look bare. Anyway these colours are all so beautiful, the first two are pinks but the photo doesn't do the pink glitter one justice it looks red on the photo! The other two are purples great for Autumn! L-R Shocking Pink, Ruby Slippers, Berry Cosmo and Vintage Violet. They're normally £2.99 each.

Next I went to Lush and whenever I go there I just have to get something.. haha!! The lush shop smells amazing so why not ;) Anyway I got Candy Mountain Bubble Bar which is £2.75 and Shoot For The Stars which is £3.50. Candy Mountain smells absolutely AMAZING, it's a very sweet girly smell so if you like sweet smells, this is for you! It's also glittery which makes it extra cute. Shoot For The Stars has got also a nice smell but it's not sweet, I recently used this before writing this post so I can't remember the smell much sorry! But it made my bath a really dark midnight blue and it has PINK inside which I didn't expect, also it's full of glitter and little stars!!

I picked up this L'oreal lipstick in Pure Red by Eva. I've never really owned a red lipstick because I've always felt like I look stupid in a colour like this, but I tried it on and I really liked it, especially now it's Autumn and Winter next it's a really nice red. It looks more bright in the photo but it's darker on my lips. I got this from Boots for £6.99 and they're doing a 3 for 2 on all L'oreal products :)

I hope you've enjoyed this post as I enjoy reading everyone elses about their hauls and stuff they've bought recently, so have a great day, thanks! :D

How I Wash My Make Up Brushes!

Hey everyone!

I'm going to show and talk about how I personally clean my make up brushes and what works for me. I know many people have different ways and use different things so I thought I'd share mine. Obviously I'm no expert so haha. Cleaning brushes is such a boring job but when they're all nice and clean after it's literally the best feeling!!
Washing your brushes regularly is important so you don't keep spreading bacteria from your face and to the brush, which can cause break outs of spots on your face which nobody wants.

These are the brushes I was cleaning when doing it this time around.


So the first step is to wet your brush under lukewarm water, make sure you're holding the brush downwards as you don't want water going down into the brush, it can make the bristles fall out.

After your brush is dampened, put some of your cleaning product onto either the back or palm of your hand. Today I was just using a hand wash as I had no shampoo left. Don't worry if there isn't enough you can always add more if you think it needs more, obviously more is needed for bigger brushes.

Next, grab your brush and start to swirl around in circular motions on the product, remember to keep adding a little water onto the brush to lather the product up getting more dirty product out of the bristles. 

When you've finished doing this, squeeze out all of the water and dirty product into the sink. I actually find it fun to watch it all drip it haha!! Knowing all that dirt has been in my brush disgusts me!! Keep adding a little water aswell to make sure you're getting it all out of the root of the brush.

Ta-da! After these photos I cleaned the rest of my dirty brushes!  When all your brushes are clean it's time to let them dry, it's best to let them try overnight to really dry them. When letting them dry, try to let the bristles end of the brush face down onto some toilet paper or a towel, this makes the dregs of water come out of the brush to thoroughly dry it.

By the morning your brushes will be nice and dry ready to use again!

Thanks for reading :)

Zoella Beauty!

Hey everyone!

So last week, Zoe Sugg aka Zoella brought out her new beauty range of products! I've been so excited for these products ever since she announced about them.

When they finally came out they literally sold out SO quick it was unbelievable tbh, so I waited a few days before I could order what I really wanted from her range. I bought the blue eyes make up bag/pencil case which was £8 and the bath soak/shower cream which was £5, I also wanted to buy the body mist but it was sold out so I'm gonna buy that at a later date. :) The make up bag is such a good size because it can even fit brushes in there and most make up bags cant because they're too small so I'm loving it already! It's so cute. And also the bath soak smells absolutely DELIGHTFUL! Seriously it does. It's like a really fresh floral scent, when it arrived in the post I couldn't stop sniffing it haha, so weird.

I really love to watch Zoe's Youtube videos, she's such as great person!
