NYX Lid Lingerie in the Shades 'Whimsy', 'Evening Spell' and 'Morning Sky'.

I'm pretty certain that everyone has heard of NXY's infamous Lip Lingerie liquid lipsticks, right? The hype around the Lip Lingerie line insane. But did you know that NXY have a Lingerie range out specifically for your eyes?! I know, amazing! Although the lip range is based on the perfect nude shade for every skin tone, the Lid Lingerie offers many exciting, pearly and shimmery shades to chose from.
Evening Spell
Whimsy

At first, I didn't really know if I was going to like the formula as I mainly stick to plain old powder eye shadows. The idea of a liquid eye shadow seemed a little daunting at first, what if it didn't blend and I looked like a clown?! Despite being apprehensive, I took the plunge and bought myself three gorgeous shades.  Buying these has been one the best make- up decision I've made in a while! These are my all time favourite eyeshadows now! They're super easy to blend out with a makeup brush, they don't crease at all and simply look stunning.

'Evening Spell' is my classic go-to shade. I love a gorgeous deep red colour on my eyes for a grungy smokey eye and Evening Spell is just that! All of the Lid Lingerie's are pearly and shimmery and personally I really like that. It's really pigmented and stays put for hours!

'Morning Sky' is just a gorgeous sea foam green shade and I use this whenever I want something different. I can't put into words how pretty the colour is, just look at it! It's unlike anything else I have in my collection.

'Whimsy' is an absolutely gorgeous dark pink, shimmery shade and as with 'Morning Sky', it's a colour that stands out in my make up stash!

So as you can tell by this review I am over the moon with NYX Lid Lingeries! I do apologize for not having swatches of the shades on my eyes! I was just desperate to get this post up on the blog. If you do want to see swatches though, the good news is that there are loads of swatches online!

Summery: These liquid shadows make a quick and easy, effortless makeup look! Perfect for day or night.

Glasses Shop.com - The Place To Go For The Best Glasses!

I think everyone loves buying a good pair of sunglasses because let's face it, sunglasses look awesome on everyone. They protect your eyes in the suns harmful rays and they are great to pop on when you're having a 'no make-up' day. Sunglasses are just cool - fact.

But finding the right pair of sunglasses can be incredibly hard. Especially when, like me, you need to wear prescription glasses. My eyesight is absolutely terrible and I am always wearing my eyeglasses to be able to read, watch TV and do daily mundane things. So, unfortunately I haven't had the chance to wear sunglasses much because I can't afford prescription sunglasses and plus, many prescription sunglasses out on the market aren't too pretty and many of the designs are old fashioned. Or so I thought. Recently, a kind lady from the Glasses shop reached out to us via email to review a pair of sunglasses or eye glasses of out choice. Looking through the website we were absolutely spoiled for choice! There were so many glasses frames and styles to choose from. Finally we decided to go for some blue mirrored coated Aviator style shades.

It's very to safe to say that I am absolutely over the moon with these sunglasses! I mean, look at how stunning they are. I love the blue, reflective lenses. Also, the sunglasses are really dark too so they're going to be perfect in the summer when the sun is at it's brightest and most harmful. I can see through the lenses so clearly too which is always a major plus. These sunglasses also have an anti-scratch coating on to ensure the lenses stay perfect for as long as possible! I am just so in love with my new fashion accessory and I recommend the glasses shop to everyone.

We have very kindly been given a 50% off code which includes eyeglasses, sunglasses  with free lenses only throughout the glassshop.com website with the exception of sales frames. CODE IS - GSHOT50 

Be sure to check out this incredible shop. Their range is massive and I think I'll be treating myself to some new eyeglasses soon. These shades are perfect for anyone that struggles with their vision. You only need to put in your eye prescription in whilst ordering - simple!

Boho in Distress.

What I'm Wearing:
TOP - BOOHOO
SHORTS - PRIMARK
BOOTS - RIVER ISLAND
SPARKLY BACKPACK - BOOHOO

It's been a really sad week to say the least. When I first heard of the terrorist attack in Manchester I was literally in shock and I think I've been in a state of complete shock all week. How can such a heinous and vicious attack be carried out in an arena of all places? Taking the lives of children and people that just wanted to enjoy music. It's broken my heart and I want to take a moment to pay my respects to all those affected by the attack. 

I wanted to do a blog post today because we had a lovely day out at the Albert Dock! Me, Rachel and our mum all took our lunch down to the pier head and snapped some photos. The weather has been so lovely! It's been so awesome being able to dig out some of my cute summer clothes. I absolutely adore this floaty white Bardot from Boohoo. It's giving me serious hippie vibes!


 I love nothing more than some distressed shorts. I usually stick to darker denim but recently I've been stepping out of my comfort zone and getting some classic blue denim shorts. These ones are from Primark and I love them to bits already. I think these shorts were only £10 so they're definitely worth getting in time for the warmer weather. 

I've been into grunge music since I was 13 (REST IN PEACE CHRIST CORNELL!!!) and one thing I always noticed was how the 90's rockers wore black scruffy boots with eveything! So, here I am, bringing 90's grunge into my style with these ultra cool boots that I've had for years from River Island. 
Hey, guys have you noticed I got all tanned up for these photos? I'm loving looking bronzed at the moment! 

What's your favourite Summer item this year?

Makeup Must Haves - L'Oreal Miss Baby Roll Mascara!

I always get so excited when I see hight street brands releasing new products. The minute I saw L'Oreal's latest mascara offering, Miss Baby Roll, I knew I had to get my hands on it. The name of this mascara had my attention at first. Miss Baby Roll? What does that even mean? Nevertheless, Baby Roll sounds rather adorable but I don't think the name tells you much about the product. Miss Baby Roll comes in four unique and exciting colours! There is plain old black and there is also a waterproof option in black for us classic makeup loving girls. The shades Bright Teal, Indigo and Liliac are for more daring and bold makeup lovers. I got my Baby Roll in black.

First of all, the packaging is simple but cute. Packaged in a black tube, the black mascara design is accompanied by a gorgeous pastel pink and mint lid. The colour theme of each shade is unique to each mascara so for instance, if you get the shade Teal, the packaging is teal and pink! It's so pretty, I'm considering going out of my comfort zone to buy the Indigo. The wand is different for the standard mascara, it's more rounded and L'Oreal describes this as a ''roller brush''!

Now, onto the product! I'm going to jump right into this and say that this is probably one of the best mascara's I've used. L'Oreal never let me down with their mascara offerings and Miss Baby Roll has lived up to my very high expectations! A few coats of this baby and my lashes literally look false. Doing my bottom lashes is just the best with this mascara wand because even my lower lashes look really long and separated. The formula doesn't clump so you don't get the dreaded 'spider legs eyelashes'. This mascara is for anyone that wants their eyelashes to look super long and curled. The mascara is super black too so that's always an added bonus!


The verdict - Long, curled eyelashes that LAST. ALL. DAY!

I'm already nearing the end of my Miss Baby Roll, it seems to have run out quite quickly which is a bummer. It costs £7.99 but Superdrug have a 2 for 3 deal on L'Oreal products at the moment so ladies, we all know where we're going this weekend!

Thank you for reading guys!

Casual but Definitely 'Me'.

WHAT I'M WEARING 
 Bag - Primark
Tights - Primark
Choker - Forever 21
Jumper - Primark
Pink Top - Boohoo
Silver Shorts - Boohoo
Boots - River Island

Hello to all our lovely readers. It's been a bit of a rough week this week (let's not even get into it yet.) What's better than to sit down with a cup of tea, write a blog post and just relax? It's nice to get lost inside the world of blogging. I'm bringing you another outfit post today and although it's casual it's still very much 'me'. I love this silver shorts from Boohoo. They're actually running shorts but I wear them just for everyday wear! As if I'm going to wear shorts this pretty for working out. 

Is everyone else still obsessed with clothes with the corset, lace-up effect? I'm sure the certain design has a proper name but to me, it looks corset-like so we will stick with that for now. The jumper I'm wearing from Primark is one of my ultimate, comfy but stylish picks. It looks amazing while keeping me cosy. What's not to love about that?! I love the pop of pink coming through too from my top from Boohoo.
Do you guys like my little blue/green bag? I don't know if I'm colour blind but I think it's blue while my mum thinks it's green... what do you think? Whatever the colour it's still gorgeous and reminds me of a mermaids tail. 


I don't know if you can see my choker but it's see through with holes in it. It's hard to describe but I thought it looked so cyber! I'll probably do more outfit posts featuring this choker so keep your eyes peeled if you want to see it in all it's cyber glory!

On a side note I've just eaten vegan ice cream that doesn't contain banana - it was the creamiest ice cream ever and tasted so good. It was two ingredients were chocolate and nuts too! It was by the amazing dairy free brand Alpro and the flavour was Hazelnut chocolate! Try it everyone because you won't regret it!

Greece, Corfu - A Historical Beauty Spot of Paradise.

Travelling is something I've never really experienced. I've been to Devon a lot, Scotland once and Wales a few times and to Turkey twice but that's it. I've always had a fear of flying - you've all heard the horror stories and my dad used to always watch Aircrash Investigation so my fears only increased haha! Also, mental health struggles prevented me from living and experiencing many things in life. I wasted my teen years on being sick and mentally ill - I couldn't help being sick but it's the truth. But this year I had an epiphany. What if I could fight my fears of change and flying? What if I could actually witness the beauty of the world with my own eyes and not through someone elses Instagram? I never thought I'd do it but I was sick of not having a good time and not having memories. So, me, Rachel and our lovely mum went to Corfu together. It was the perfect place to go. It wasn't too far away (only three hours on the plane) and the views are just mesmerizing - the beauty of the clear blue seas, the white caves, the culture... the island of Corfu seemed idyllic and I wanted my first holiday abroad in over five years to be in Greece. 

Now, it's safe to say that I'm completely besotted with the place, in fact me, Rachel and my mum are all in love with Greece. The culture, the absolutely lovely people, the incredible sights... not to mention my new found love for Greek Mythology! My dad actually studied Greek Mythology in University for a year. I'm obsessed with all things mythical so it makes sense that I love reading about the historical Greek myths. We took a boat to Paxos and went inside Poseidon's cave - God of the Sea. I encourage everyone to get into Greek mythology, it's fascinating!

I hope you enjoy all the photos in this post! I've included photos from our boat trip to Paxos and Anti-Paxos which isn't too far from Corfu. The waters were so clear and the island looked like something from a fairy tale.
We stayed in the four star hotel Aquis Sandy Beach and it was amazing in there. It was the most lavish place I've ever stayed in to be honest! We went all inclusive so we took advantage of the opportunity to eat as much Greek food as possible! I've now discovered I really like Greek salad - feta cheese is just delicious. But the hotel had a wide variety of food to chose from so everyone can find something to enjoy. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were just my favourite times of the day - somethings never change - even when in Corfu :) When we went to Paxos, we found the loveliest cafe and had crepes, nutella and ice cream! I would of took a photo but come on, I couldn't wait to stuff my face with crepes!

One of the best parts of staying at Aquis Sandy Beach was that the hotel is literally on the beach! and the beach is absolutely gorgeous. The sand is soft and golden and the sea was so blue. It was amazing. I could of happily of stayed in the hotel grounds the whole week as there were three pools, daily exercises classes, a spa/beauty treatments and there was even a gym! It was like a little town inside the hotel, there were shops, a hairdressers and a jewelry shop too! It was incredible.


Now as I'm sitting back at home writing this, I haven't really got the holiday blues. Why? because I know for certain that I'll never deprive myself of travelling again. As we speak, we're already planning our next holiday for later this year and I'm already so excited! I always thought you'd need tons of money to be able to go away but this holiday cost us £300 per person - how amazing is that?!

I might have the travel bug now but Corfu will always have a very special place in my heart.

Where is your favourite place to travel to? Have you ever been to Corfu or any other Greek island? let us know in the comments!

Fishnet Queen

Fishnet Jumper - Boohoo | Fishnet Leggings - Boohoo | Boots - ASOS

Have you ever noticed that wearing mesh clothing or fishnet tights makes you feel incredible and like a bad ass bitch? They're just so sexy and they look so cool. I absolutely love wearing fishnet tights but sometimes, tights aren't enough. I needed more fishnet goodness in my life. Who do I turn to in my hour of need? Boohoo of course. Boohoo came to my rescue as always because lets face it, Boohoo is the best website going. 

This whole outfit cost me just £11! I don't think I've entered something as fast into my shopping bag as I did with these leggings and jumper.  

This is my favorite outfit in the whole entire world. Yes, I say that quite a lot about my outfits but no, this time I mean it. I feel like this jumper and these unique leggings were made for me! Not only do I feel confident wearing this, I also feel so comfortable too. I thought the fishnet material would feel tight or scratchy but it's quite loose so it's really nice to wear. I like the thought of just lazing around all day while looking goth as fuck while I do it ;)

Creep/Artist

Creep Jumper - H&M | Artist Jacket - Forever 21 | Lace Skirt - Forever 21  | Tights - Primark | Creepers - River Island

It's Tuesday, so happy Tuesday everyone! I've been feeling a little low lately - it's just one of those times in my life where I feel a bit lost and I haven't got motivation to do much. It's hard to get out of bed sometimes but I know this feeling isn't permanent. I've just got to take care of myself and give myself lots of TLC! 

I don't know about you guys but my idea of TLC is wearing some bad ass outfits that make me feel amazing. I've found some absolutely amazing clothes recently, one of those being this awesome slogan ''creep'' jumper. The slogan looks so good running down the sleeves - I really want more clothes like this! My mum actually got me this top from H&M (Thanks mum, you're a diamond). I find this top great in this chilly but bright weather.

And look at my fucking incredible denim jacket from Forever 21! The minute I saw this sleeveless jacket in the shop window, I had to get it. Being a girl with creative interests, a massive love of drawing and playing musical instruments, how could I possibly not get this jacket with ''artist'' written all over the back!? It was £35 but I know for sure that I'll have this piece for years to come and get a lot of wear out of it. 

Have you found any great denim clothes in the shops recently? Let us know!

A Touch Of Pink

    Dip Dyed Crop top - Boohoo | Shorts - Primark  | Tights - Primark 


Hello everyone! Sorry for not being as active on the blogging scene lately, life gets in the way sadly. But I'm really pleased that we managed to get some outfit photos today in the lovely sunshine.

 I've been looking for some new Summer clothes recently because we're going on holiday to Greece at the end of April - SO EXCITED. We haven't been on holiday for years and we've only been abroad twice. I think I was too excited daydreaming about my holiday in Greece when I put this outfit on this morning and forgot I was in Liverpool, freezing my ass off despite the bright sunshine.
 I don't have many colourful clothes in the slightest but hey, it's getting warmer (supposedly) and I thought I'd embrace some more colour in my life! Introducing this gorgeous pink and white crop top from Boohoo! This was only £4 so it was such a bargain! The material is lovely, it's a great fit and I love the hint of pink as it's not too over whelming for a girl like me that doesn't wear much pink at all. I can see myself chilling in this cute top all Summer - hopefully minus the big black woolly jumper like I'm wearing over it now!

These shorts. These adorable lace trimmed shorts were just £12 from Primark and I absolutely love them. I think sometimes plain denim shorts can be a little boring but the lace on these beauties adds a little more detail and sexiness to any outfit which I love of course! I think this outfit shows that you don't have to spend loads of money on Summer clothes. You can't buy style - it's how you pair your clothes together that matters! 

Have you found any Summer bargains?
