Westfield London Haul

Recently I went to Westfield Stratford shopping centre in London and went on a little shopping spree. I picked up some beauty stuff and also a few clothing items. I absolutely love it there as there are so many shops that I don't have where I live. So I thought I'd show you a few things I picked up.

Seventeen 'Define and Conquer' contour kit

I've wanted this for a while now so I finally picked it up and I really like it. Both the shades in it are matte and I love the packaging. The only thing is that the highlight shade in it doesn't really do that much. So If you have pale skin then I wouldn't recommend the highlight shade. However, the contour is really nice.

Kiko eyeshadow- 124

I already own an eye-shadow from Kiko and love it. So I thought I'd pick up another, and this one looked really nice. It's got a bit of shimmer in it and I think it will look really nice through the crease.

Kiko Vivid colour Lipstick pencil- 03

This is just a really pretty peachy orangey colour and I haven't got anything like this, so I thought I'd try it out.

Burt's Bees Lip Balm- Honey

I love Burt's bees lip balms, so just wanted to pick up another one. It smells very strongly of honey, so I feel like some people might not like it, but I think its really nice and they are so moisturising.

Benefit Badgal Lash mascara

This was one of the minis and was only £5, so I just brought it to try out. I love how the wand is so big and there are so many bristles on it.

L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Plumper

I had heard a few people raving about this, so I thought I'd try it out. I love how the brush on it is so small so it's easy to use and also the packaging is so pretty. The only thing is, I picked up the medium/dark one and I think it would have been better to get the dark blonde one. But I can still use it, I just have to be careful.

Lush 'Big Bang' Bubble bar

My mum actually picked this up for me because it smelt SO good and we had to get something from lush! It has two really cute pink stars on the top and some glitter in the little yellow blobs on the sides.

Next from Forever 21 I brought this jumper. I really like it as it's cropped and I brought it a little bigger so it's really cosy and quite baggy. I also really like the little 'happy' on it and I think it's really cute. My mum also kindly brought me these sunglasses from Forever 21 and I can't wait for summer so I can wear them more. Then from Topshop I picked up this Skinny dip phone case, because I really wanted a new one and I really like the design of it.

I also brought these Adidas Superstars from Office, because I've wanted a pair for so long and I love them. I did sort of want the pair with black stripes, but so many people have them, so I went for the silver ones.

Finally from Urban Outfitters I brought this backpack which I now use for school. I love it SO much and it has so many pockets inside which is really useful. It's black leather, but is so soft, which is really nice. So yeah, I'm basically in love with it.

Thank you for reading!

Kew Gardens | London

Recently, my mum, my brother, my brother's girlfriend and I went to Kew Gardens/ Royal Botanical Gardens in London. It's basically a HUGE garden with massive greenhouses full of exotic and different plants. It was really cool and there were so many plants and flowers that you wouldn't ever see in England. We took A LOT of photos there, so I thought I'd show you some of them. Brace yourself, there are tonnes ;)

Fairy Godmother // Tanya Burr Cosmetics

I really like Tanya Burr nail polishes and have  a little collection of them now. I think that the packaging is so cute and the colour range is amazing. If I could I would definitely buy them all!

This one that I have on my nails now is called 'Fairy Godmother' and is a really pretty pastel blue with lilac tones. I also think that this is perfect for spring and summer, as I always love wearing bright/pastel colours then.

Thank you for reading! Let me know your favourite nail polish from her range is and if you like them.

My Favourite Bloggers

As you may know I love reading peoples blogs. I think its so nice to just read about peoples interests or products they are loving. I also obviously love blogging myself and am really getting into it at the moment, so its quite motivating and I get a few ideas. So today I thought I'd show you my favourite bloggers. Some you definitely would have heard of and are so successful (*cough, cough* Zoella) and some you may not have heard of. But I promise you their blogs are definitely worth a read! and I love them all.
Meg Says
Meg also has a YouTube channel along with her blog and she just seems like the sweetest person in the world. She is always so positive and woks so hard on her blog, which is beautiful, and her YouTube when she can, as she has M.E. All her photos are also beautiful and at the top of her blog there are some really cute illustrations which make me really jealous.
She also lives quite near me, so in some of her vlogs on her YouTube channel, I recognize places and get really excited (I know, I'm weird I get excited about the smallest things).

Tanya Burr
I think you all know that I love Tanya very much and it's almost been a year since I met her in Norwich for her book signing for 'Love, Tanya', which is crazy. She, also, is so cute and I love her style. Her blog quite recently got re-vamped and I think it looks so professional and gorgeous. Its also nice that she keeps her cute and funny personality in her writing on her blog and can sometimes ramble on a bit, which I love.
Tanya has also recently done some blog posts on her honeymoon travels with Jim. It looked absolutely amazing and her pictures from it that she took are going to be so nice to look back on, as there are a lot of them!

 Petitelliee
I think what I love so much about Ellie's blog is that she is SO active. By this I mean that she posts so much and I honestly don't know how she does it as she also goes to college. She posts a lot of stuff about beauty and you can really tell she loves it, but she also has a few posts that go a little deeper and are life related.
I found her blog through her Instagram which likewise is amazing!

 Zoella
Now I sort of feel like there isn't much to say with Zoe as you will all know who she is (she recently hit 10 million subscribers on YouTube!). But I'll talk about her anyway.
She has the most amazing blog and all of her photos are such amazing quality! She also started her blog before her YouTube channel and has been doing it for so long now. She is also so friendly and funny and is just such a likeable person. I also love that she is now really getting into baking and she has so many posts about recipes, so if you are into that, then I'd recommend you go and have a read of her blog!

Georgia Louise
I only found Georgia's blog recently, but I think it's amazing. she's been doing it for a while now and has so many posts and her photos are amazing. She also does some posts on fashion and I absolutely LOVE her style. So you should definitely check her blog out!

Thank you for reading!

Barry M Nail Polish Collection

Barry M nail polishes are one of the the first nail polish brands I ever tried and I still love them now. They come in so many different colours and ranges so you can always find whatever colour you are looking for. And they also seem to last quite a while without chipping and the formulation is just really nice. They are only £2.99 or £3.99 for the 'gelly high shine' and other effects. I definitely recommend them :)
So for this post as I have a little collection of them now, I thought I'd go through them all and show you some of my favourites.

'Gelly High Shine'

Cotton

This is just a plain white, but I really like it for summer on its own, or in winter with a sparkly nail polish over the top. 

Prickly Pear

I think this is one of my favourites and I used to wear it a lot. It's a very pretty pastel lilac colour so the name doesn't really fit, but its cute.

Lychee

I have done a whole blog post for this nail polish before so if you want to check that out just click here. Like I said in that post it really is just the perfect nude colour and is easy to wear as it goes with any outfit and is quite discreet.

Satsuma

This polish just reminds me of summer so much as I wore it quite a lot then and it's such a nice bright orangey red.

Huckleberry

This is such a nice pastel blue colour and the name is the cutest thing ever. Again I love this for summer and its quite easy to wear.

Blueberry

I didn't get this that long ago, but I'd seen a lot of other bloggers/youtubers wearing it and I just thought it looked so pretty. I really should wear this more often as I love the colour.

Clear
I use this for a basecoat more than a nail hardener or topcoat, and it works okay, but sometimes if you wear really dark colours then it doesn't really protect your nails very well, so I wouldn't recommend it.
Jingle Bells
I have also done a blog post on this before as it's so nice for Christmas and makes me feel so happy with all the confetti and stars in it. If you want to go have a read of that then you can just click here.

Black
I got these two ages ago and to be honest I can't remember using them much at all. Also this colour is pretty self explanatory so I don't really need to go on about this one too much.
Neon Pink
This is quite a nice colour but I don't really think it's 'my cup of tea' if you know what I mean. It's just a really bright pink and it also has a sort of metallic look to it.

'Speedy Quick Dry'

Kiss Me Quick

I really want to get some more from this range as I really like them and the packaging is also really cute. This colour is a really pretty pastel pink and I really like it as it's quite girly compared to a lot of my other nail polishes.

Pit Stop

I love this nail polish A LOT. The colour is amazing and even though I have about five different shades of grey nail polishes from different brands, this is probably my favourite. 

Thank you for reading!
Let me know if you are as obsessed with Barry M nail polishes as much as I am!
