So MissGuided is currently offering 25% Student Discount so I just had to take advantage! I initially was going to just buy this jacket that I have been eyeing up for the longest time, but the "Free Next Day Delivery on Orders over £60" caught my eye, and I ended up with more than anticipated. But who's complaining?
This time of year is my least favourite in terms of shopping, you can't buy summer clothes but it's pointless buying winter clothes. So the first thing I added to my basket was this beautiful teal suedette biker jacket. I initially wanted the mustard one that literally everyone seems to have, but the colour of this one caught my eye and i'm so glad as it is so beautiful. It sits so wonderfully, it is a lot less structured than leather bikers but will be so perfect for spring and cold summer nights as it's so lightweight. I'm also planning on wearing it now with some pleather skinnies and a turtle neck, I am so excited about this.
The two top's I bought are quite basic t-shirts, I am definitely more of a wear for comfort person. I love being able to throw on simple items that still look good. They were only £12/15 each so how could I say no? I was especially excited for the long-sleeved raglan t-shirt. However when it arrived I noticed one sleeve was about 7cm longer than the other? Which is so strange, so i'm going to have to send it back to exchange for another. As for the black one, I was torn between just keeping the sleeves rolled or cutting it into a muscle-tee, what do you think would be best?
Lastly, I bought some new shoes. I am never and have never been the type of person to wear any shoes other than converse, maybe some basic gladiators on summer. But these caught my eyes, the beautiful rose gold colour absolutely makes them stand out from anything. This style of shoe was so popular last year and is obviously going to be just as big this spring/summer! I am still wondering how I would style these, but i'm always up for a challenge! How gorgeous are these purchases though? I also only spent £63, so it's quite a bargain!
How would you style the rose gold shoes? Comment below, thanks for reading!:)

 I bought mine from Asda on a whim whilst buying some chocolate one night for £6 and was so excited to try it out. The packaging of this mascara is honestly lovely. The metallic pink and red really compliment each other well, something to be happy about if your into packaging! The wand is plastic (I usually stay away from plastic wands) but after hearing about the "hooks" on the bristles I thought this may bring something different that I haven't tried yet. As you can see from my photo, there really aren't any noticeable hooks at all which disappointed me. Honestly, it is just another plastic wand that gathers to much product.



When applying it to my eyelashes I knew from the first stroke this was definitely not my favourite mascara, or anywhere close. Due to the amount of product gathered when you put it on your eyelashes absolutely no separation occurs, all of your eyelashes just clump together. In terms of length, my eyelashes where such a clumpy mess I couldn't notice any lengthening that could have possibly redeemed this mascara at all, even when separated with a dry wand my opinion didn't improve. This mascara also (for me) produced no volume.



My eyelashes are naturally short and have no curve to them, so when this claimed it would "push up" my lashes I was hopeful, only to be disappointed. I am guessing all the reviewers I watched on YouTube had naturally beautiful eyelashes to begin with or were sponsored to advertise it, because I was just not getting the same outcome. The consistency and the time it took the mascara to dry absolutely sealed in my mind that I will never re-purchase this mascara, or maybe never actually use it again. I waited around five minutes for my eyelashes to be fully dry, in which time the product smudged and left marks on my upper eyelid.

On my second eye I placed a small amount of a dried out mascara just to separate my eyelashes and then layered the falsies on top, to which it did work slightly better. So I suppose that can count as something.



I am so happy I didn't pay a lot for this mascara or I would be a lot more disappointed than I am right now. In a nut shell, it was clumpy, took a long time to dry and did nothing it said it would really. Therefor it is safe to say that I did not have the pleasant experience others have had and I will stay using my Lash Sensational.




Thanks for reading guys, what where your experience's with this mascara like? Do you have any mascara recommendations I could try out? Leave a comment below!

Hi guys, so today I decided to do a little makeup post. I by no means am no makeup artist I just really enjoy makeup. I only wear minimal eye make-up but I just can't go a day without my lipstick or I just feel bare. I like switching it up between pinks, browns, reds etc. but my favourite has got to be my go-to nude lip.





 I have so many variations of "nude" lipsticks, I tend to shy away from the lighter shades that look like concealer. For this particular look I used my absolute favourite lipliner by Barry-M in "Russet," its a lovely muted brown that looks slightly rusty. I lined the outline of my lips and filled in the corners, I them applied my holy-grail nude lipstick; "Nude Embrace" from the Maybelline Colour Sensational Matte range. I can not praise this lipstick enough, it is so creamy for a matte lipstick and stays on for a good few hours with no re-application. To finish off the look I applied my Rimmel Apocolips Lip Laquer in the colour "Nude Eclipse".
I wear this colour 5/7 days a week, you absolutely can not go wrong with a good nude lip! There are so many variations of nude lipsticks at so many different price ranges and I love how affordable this look is. Hope you enjoyed this post, don't forget to comment below and tell me what you think to this nude lip. What is your favourite nude lipstick? I would love to hear some recommendations!

Hi guys, so I thought I would post something a little different today. I am getting into cooking a lot more now and thought it would be great to blog about some of the different dishes I am learning as I go along! Today I made a quick lunch which is one of my absolute favourite things, Pesto Pasta! It is so simple, all you need:

• Pasta
• Basil
• Garlic
• Pine Nuts
• Olive Oil
• An optional cheese and vegetables of your choice.#

Firstly, you place a hand-full of basil leafs, pine-nuts and 1 crushed garlic clove into a blender until it is all blended together as one. Then I poured enough olive oil to make a creamy consistency that can be mixed easily, and sprinkled some pepper. I then placed the pesto in the refridgerator to cool whilst I cooked the pasta.
I simply let my pasta simmer in the pan of boiling water for around 15 minutes, stirring in a tbsp of salt and a sprinkle of pepper half way through.
I cut small pieces of feta cheese to sprinkle on top of the pasta, along with slicing some green pepper and some fresh rocket (my alternative to spinach).
Once the pasta was cooked I simply drained all the water and stirred in my now-cooled pesto, adding some extra pepper and a drizzle more of olive-oil. I sprinkled the cheese on top and placed the rocket and peppers to the side of the plate. This took no longer than 20 minutes to make, it's so tasty and couldn't be simpler. Instead of making your own pesto you could always buy pre-made from a
supermarket, to make it even simpler.


I hope you enjoyed this post guys, don't forget to comment if your going to give this a try!
Are there any more easy pasta dishes anyone would recommend?

Hi guys! So I know i'm a bit late to the party, but I got paid a bit more than usual after Christmas (retail perks) so I decided to treat myself to some new MAC products. I'm not usually a high-end makeup person, but after years of complaining about every concealer I owned I thought it's time to bite the bullet and just buy the pro-longwear. It's not that expensive so it wasn't to much of a splurge.
Whilst browsing the MAC website I decided I may as well go for Velvet Teddy whilst i'm already buying something, I have seen so many people wearing it and loved the colour, so why not?



Not going to lie, when the products finally arrived I was less than happy about the size of the concealer. However, after trying it out I now know why its so small. Firstly, the consistency is SO thick. I was so careful with my pumps so I wouldn't waste to much product, a little really does go a long way. I firstly primed my eyes with my Fix and Perfect primer and then applied the concealer with my concealer brush under my eyes in a triangular shape. I then proceeded to blend it out with my beauty blender and was in awe at the coverage. I hadn't applied no colour corrector and my dark circles where almost unrecognisable! I use the colour NC15, I was wondering whether NW would be better for my dark circles in terms of colour correcting but the colour is perfect for my skin tone.
The reason I was so excited to try this concealer was the amount of people who claimed it was "creaseless". At first in the excitement of the moment I definitely thought it was a creaseless concealer sent from the gods, however after wearing it for around half an hour I did notice slight creasing. My eyes are naturally creased and I was expecting a bit much for it to be able to remove them, but the concealer didn't gather inside the creases which I was happy about! All in all the concealer is definitely high/buildable coverage, is very long-wearing and almost-creaseless. As far as first impressions go, I am very happy and unless my opinion changes I will probably be re-purchasing.


Moving onto velvet teddy, I liked it. I'm usually sceptical about matte lipsticks (hense me taking a year to try it out) but its definitely more moisturising than I expected. The colour is a muted brown mixed with pink/red. As with all MAC lipsticks, it didn't stay put all day, or even for a couple of hours and I had to re-apply it, but I was already expecting that to happen. For the price point it's not all that impressive, I still feel like I prefer my cheaper Maybelline and Rimmel lipsticks. The thing that cause this hype was probably the fact the colour is actually rather unique, if I could purchase this exact colour in Maybelline/Rimmel it would probably be a constant favourite! It definitely reminds me of my 2014 fave "Velvet Beige" from Maybelline which I can no longer find in superdrug, so I will definitely wear it out!
