Morocco: Day #3

Sunday, March 31, 2013

Day 3 was action packed to say the least. We had a slightly earlier wakeup call so we could get going and really explore Marrakech. At about 9am, we set off and before long, entered the newer part of the city and arrived at Yves Saint Laurent Gardens. It is an absolutely stunning place, so vibrant and full of life. Countries from all over the world have sent plants to add...

Morocco: Day #2

Saturday, March 30, 2013

After a lovely nap we woke up at about 8.30am and headed for breakfast. My family and I decided that it was better to have a relaxing day by the pool and leave the sightseeing until Saturday. So, we lounged around the pool and I went for a quick dip before heading back to our rooms to shower and get changed. I don't think many of you know this, my my older sister works for a events management company...

Morocco: Day #1

Friday, March 29, 2013

So, day 1! I talked a bit about my arrival in Morocco in my previous post, so I'm just going to start where I left off. We arrived at the hotel at about 6pm, the perfect time to see the sun set over the stunning terracotta architecture. We were then shown to our rooms and were offered a fresh cup of the most delicious Moroccan mint tea - delish! We all got scrubbed up a bit and headed...

Update!

Thursday, March 28, 2013

Hey guys! I am currently in the most amazing hotel room in the most amazing hotel after enjoying the most amazing dinner. At about 1pm this afternoon my plane took off from Gatwick in London, and 2 hours later I arrived in the beautiful country of Morocco. I am staying about 20 minutes outside of Marrakech, an although I've only been here for about 6 hours, I have already fell in love. These...

Birchbox: March 2013

Monday, March 18, 2013

Laura Geller Gel Eyeliner in 'Black': I'm all up for gell liners so it's nice to see this in the box. I got this in black which is nice, but there were some other colours floating around that might have been nice to try. I'm looking forward to see how this compares to my Bobbi Brown Gel Liner. Plus, this is worth £24.50, £10 more than the entire box!! Molton Brown 'Valbonne': Now...

Topshop 'Amethyst'

Friday, March 15, 2013

Topshop 'Amethyst' - £6 I spotted one of my uni friends sporting this the other day and immediately had to steal it. 'Amethyst' is a crazy duo chrome, a combination of a dark, taupe-y brown and a bright violet. In most lights, you get the gorgeous violet, but the taupe adds a nice dimension that makes this polish just that little bit more interesting. The thing that caught my eye...

March 2013 Glossybox

Wednesday, March 13, 2013

Hey guys so today I'm going to do a quick post about what I received in this month's Glossybox and my first impressions of the products! Tresemmé Salon Finish Hair Spray: This is personally my favourite hair spray, and although it's nice to have a travel size of this, I wouldn't exactly call it 'luxury'. Oh well, I'm happy with it. Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush: This looks...

What I've Been Wearing #4

Tuesday, March 12, 2013

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette: Ever since I have owned this, I have neglected it. Despite me thinking prior to buying it that it would suit my skin tone better, it just didn't live up to the first Naked Palette. However, this week I've decided to give it another go and have been particularly loving the shades 'Bootycall' and 'Suspect' to create a contoured eye. Bourjois Queen Attitude...

NOTD: Seche 'Enamoured'

Monday, March 11, 2013

Seche Nail Polish in 'Enamoured' - £9.95 I received this lovely polish in the December version of Glossybox. At first I was a bit unsure about the colour, but when I applied it it was love at first sight! It's a gorgeous plum/purple with a strong gold duo chrome running through it. It applied really easily and looked flawless, but there is one major flaw with this polish, and unfortunately the...

The Zara Office City Bag

Wednesday, March 6, 2013

The Zara Office City Bag - £49.99 At precisely 1.24pm this afternoon, the new love of my life arrived on my door step. I tweeted earlier in the week, um-ing and ah-ing about whether or not to take the plunge and just buy this or not, as it seems that everyone in the blogging world and their mother has one. However, after putting this in and out of my basket for about 4 months,...

Hotel Chocolat 'Cocoa Juvenate' Candle

Tuesday, March 5, 2013

So a few weeks ago I was feeling ill and a bit down. The next thing I know, the door bell rings and I get handed a lovely package from Hotel Chocolat. My amazing mother had sent me a box of 'cheer up' chocolates and this amazing candle. Who even knew that Hotel Chocolat did candles?? My mum sent me the 'Cocoa Juvenate' candle which smells gorgeous! It says that it is supposed to smell like Bergamot,...

What I've Been Wearing #3

Sunday, March 3, 2013

REVLON NEARLY NAKED FOUNDATION: I have only recently purchased this but it has quickly become one of my favourites. It is a light-medium build-able coverage foundation with a semi-matte finish. I love this for everyday as it it very light, blends into the skin beautifully and is fairly fuss free. The only problem? No pump! Don't ask me why, it seems like a stupid thing to do to me, but...

Barry M Nail Paint in 'Ridely Road'

Friday, March 1, 2013

Today I wanted to show you guys this recent polish released from Barry M. They have released a handful of gorgeous pastel shades with this crazy texture. Before first applying this I was worried about how rough this polish might feel on my nails - but I didn't find it irritating at all. Due to the texture, I didn't want to apply a top coat, but this lasted about 5 days without a single chip,...
