Busy Bee...

Good morning my loves!

As I said last week, I have been such a little busy bee and have not been able to work on my beloved blog! To assure you that I’m not telling porky pies, below are some pics of the past week and a half…

 

I've been trying to wind down before I go to sleep and a candle does just the trick, along with my Bath and Body Works Pillow spray in lavender and vanilla : )

 

 

I saw this on Facebook and thought it was bloomin hilarious! Its what a cat looks like from underneath a glass coffee table!

 

 

I have been experimenting with a lot of make-up looks recently (tutorials to follow) and been loving using the MUA matte palette.

 

 

I used Chanel in 'misty soft' on my eyes here 8-)

 

 

I bought these beautiful flowers out of Morrisons for a couple of quid! They remind me of the flowers in the garden in the film 'Coraline' (one of my faves)!

 

 

I have been eating and drinking so much crap, but its soooooo good! We got a Chinese last week - I got duck pancakes, mini spring rolls and salt & chilli chips. Guy made Blackberry Fizz cocktails to go along with our dinner : ) If you would like the recipe for Blackberry Fizz, let me know in the comments below...

 

 

I have been spending so much on ebay recently...my bad! I got this Abercrombie & Fitch cardy for £12!

 

 

When Guy go his wages, he made us steak for dinner, yum! We had it with a large mushroom cooked in garlic butter, chips and whiskey sauce. We bought a deep fat fryer so we could have chips the naughty way ;)

 

 

When I downloaded ios7 I had to delete all my apps including Snapchat! Once I remembered to re-download it, I had a lot of fun sending my pals crazy snaps!

 

 

I have been absolutely loving the weather. I'm one of those people who love the rain and colder weather. Don't get me wrong, I'm crazy about Summer, but if I had to be a season (sounds weird) I would deffinitley be Autumn : )

 

 

Although we've been having take-aways constantly, I always try and eat healthy in work. This is a pic of my usual daily salad.

 

 

Love a bit of vino so I do ;)

 

 

SELFIE!

 

 

Oft, now this was AMAZING! We got this Indian tapas mixture from our regular Indian restaurant because we had never tried it and it was honestly the best take-away I have ever had! Absolutely amazing!

 

 

Lilly is being as crazy as ever, she just loves climbing up my legs...especially when I've only got my jammie shorts on! :(

 

 

More work lunch pics : )

 

 

Chanel mascara freebie that I got with my recent Chanel purchases! It is so amazing I am going to have to buy it in full-size!

 

 

The flight down to London for my exam was lovely :)

 

 

But I missed this gorgeous girl though!

 

 

Me & my other half attended an engagement party on Saturday. It was loads of fun and was a nice way to relax a bit before my big exam!

 

 

What have you guys been up to?? Let me know in the comments below.

Ps. I have finally reached 50 followers!!! Now I just need to pic a winner and post their goodies!

Birthday Haul...

Hello Lovelies! 

Today I am going to talk about the amazing things I got for my birthday and a mini review on each. I was absolutely spoiled and appreciate every single thing I received - my family & boyfriend are so generous!

So here goes....

This was the lovely site I woke up to in the morning (excluding the wrapping paper), everything was from Guy. I had wanted the Pomegranate Noir perfume by Jo Malone for ages, so I was over the moon to get it! It smells wonderful! Its not something I would usually go for, as I feel that it is a little mature for me, but I think its such a classic scent.

He got me a cheeky little voucher for House of Fraser, so I could later purchase whatever MAC products my heart desired ;)

Guy also got me a couple of goodies from Lush. I have wanted 'its raining men' for ages because I LOVE the smell of honey!! You can also use it for your hair which makes my hair smell heavenly.

The second product Guy got me from Lush was the 'Whoosh' Shower Jelly. I haven't actually used this yet, but it smells so zingy! I can imagine it will work wonders in the morning to help wake me up! 

So after we got up, had breakfast and got ready, as mentioned in my previous 'Birthday Lunch' post, we headed into Glasgow. We went to House of Fraser first (obv!) and I used my voucher to buy a new Ted Baker tote and MAC prep & prime in radiant rose. I have needed a new bag for work for quite a while so was very pleased to come across this little beauty!

After watching numerous beauty gurus on YouTube recommend this product, I had to have it! I have quite a pale complexion so the rose tint to this primer really compliments my skin. I use it under my eyes, brow bone and cupids bow to add just the right amount of highlight.

Guy's mum gave me some vouchers too, I haven't had a chance to use them all yet, but I managed to pick up a couple of things from Boots the other night after work. I had heard amazing things about the new Maybeline Baby Lips, and I can honestly say they are all true! Not only do these wee wonders smell sooo yummy, they really moisturise my lips and the pink one is very pigmented! The one on the right (Peach Kiss) is more of a clear lip balm. I only took a swatch of the Pink Punch as it is lovely bright hot pink colour and is more obvious than the Peach Kiss.

I also got the 'Soaper Heroes' gift set by Soap & Glory. I really wanted the hand food hand cream, but all the other products are fab. Especially the moisturising body mist. I already have the clean on me shower gel and the body butter, but I am excited to try the exfoliator!

Guys elder sister came round later on and brought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a gorgeous eye-shadow duo by Chanel. The duo is in No. 40 Misty - Soft. As you can see from the swatches below, one is a gorgeous shimmery violet colour and the other is a deep matte plum.

Wee birthday selfie :p

I had the best day ever and was truly spoiled. Now, seeing as my birthday is out the way, I can properly start looking forward to Halloween and Christmas!
