Busy Bee - OOTD

Hello my lovely people!

Recently there has been a lot happening and I really have been a busy bee, with my Boyfriend getting a new job and moving and my family are about to move so been helping him move and needing to start going through all the rubbish that I have hidden under bed, I don't even know where to begin with that! The main thing I am excited about, about moving is that I get to decorate a whole new room and if you know me you will really understand how much this excites me :) haha

I wore this outfit to go and measure up things in the new house and we were planning on going to have a look and find a new bathroom because the new house really does need updating, but when we got to homebase it was having refurbishment done and the bathroom section was, well, not there so that was a complete fail, so instead we went a got yummy food and made toasted sandwiches, they tasted good! :) 

I hope you like the outfit! :) I got hotter during the day than I though and I really did regret wearing my leigh jeans haha!

April Favourites - FOTD

Happy May PPB's :) 

So its that time again when every blogger shares what they have been loving during the month of April. I love these posts but my shopping list and wish list always seems to grow after reading them all! 
As I haven't done a Favourites post in a while I have tried so many new things that have become a must wear for me here are the few I have been obsessed with during April.
Redkin Forceful 23 Hairspray - I got this as a free sample when I ordered my normal Redken shampoo, I've never tried anything from Redken apart from the shampoo and condition so I was excited to try it, Well I'm hooked! It smells lovely and it does its job, Hair stays in place without feeling Crispy which is something I really hate, I will be buying this next time I have to make an order!
Sally Hansen in Fiery Island - With the weather changing my love for Orange is returning with force! This polish is a stunning bright colour and I've always loved Sally Hansen so can't really go wrong with this!
MAC in Faux - I brought this lippy years ago and loved it from the start, but I stopped wearing it for a while, I seriously don't know why I did because I is now my must wear everyday lippy, its so easy to wear with everything and its my perfect nude! I gutted though becauseI don't think MAC do it anymore...Does anyone know if they do?
Estee Lauder BB Glow - You can see this is a sample pot, I'm bait funny when it comes to face make up, being so pale I find it so hard to find a match, so when I picked up the face cream, which I will talk about in a minute the lovely lady at the count gave me a sample, Oh My! its beautiful stuff! so light wait with a light/medium coverage, Its going to be so perfect for the hotter months!
Estee Lauder Day Wear Moisturiser - I mentioned this in my last post! I use this day and night its perfect. Honestly think Estee Lauder is now my go to brand, everything I use from them is just amazing! high price tag but high quality!
Estee Lauder Translucent Pressed Powder - After all the success with the other products I decided to get a powder from Estee Lauder also, not disappointed, again a light wait powder, perfect for setting and it also leaves a lovely matte look, which I adore, I must prefer to add my own shine where I want it then to have a face that looks greasy. (personal opinion).
Lancome Doll eyes in Brown - This was actually and accident, I already used Dolls Eyes but in black, I picked this up by mistake and had mini freak out when I got home and released, but its the best mistake I have ever made. It's made me relies just how hard black mascara is on a pale skin and blue eye, Brown just works so much better!
Maybelline Color Tattoo in on and on bronze - Again I brought this a while ago when they were all the craze and every blogger was buying, but I just couldn't find a way to wear it that worked on me, until now! I use it as a base under W.O.S in the Urban Decay Basic palette and it just works perfectly together!

As these products are a daily wear for me I decided to add in a FOTD with this post, Everything is as I've just said and the blush is Maybelline Dream Touch in Blush 02. 
Earrings are Links of London.

Well I hope you have enjoyed my favourites for April. I always feel like I put to many pictures in my posts, what do you think? Are my posts to Picture happy?

Guess who's back...

Hello my beautiful PPB's

I have missed you and blogging so much the past month, but I'm finally back with a nice new laptop that actually works and doesn't freeze and shut itself down every half hour! *does a little excited clap*
After being away for so long I thought it would be nice to just do a quick catch post sharing a few pictures of what I've been up to over the last month and let you know what will be up in the future.

Warning: This post will contain a lot of pictures!

Where have I been?

Okay so lets start with March 21st! Seems so long ago now! haha This was Mine and Daniel's 5th Anniversary! SO crazy, the last 5 years have gone so quickly!

From this
Oh dear haha!!

To this
Haha okay so not one of Daniels best side, but we were excited, we decided to go to London Zoo for the day and it was so much fun! It wasn't the warmest of days but it didn't rain so all was good! :) Here are some pictures of the animals we saw! I seriously love Zoo's!!!!
This day was so much fun. I really want to go back! We didn't get to see everything because we ran out of time, so hopefully in the summer on a nice warm day we will go back :) I obviously took way more pictures of the penguins than anything else and we also watched them be fed! My love for them has grown even more! :)

What have I been wearing?

I have decided this week that I can now start wearing Spring/Summer colours on my nails, I love Dark reds so much I find it hard to stop wearing it, also with red being the only colour I can wear at work, I'm making the most of this week off to wear nice summer colours. I've gone for Barry M in Berry and Essie in Penny talk which is a stunning rose gold colour and who doesn't love a bit of rose gold!

What have I been loving?

I have been looking for a face cream for ages but I haven't never been able to find one that I love and want to keep buying, until now!! :) I have always loved Estee Lauder Make-up I use it on a  daily basis and after seeing Anna Saccone rave about their face creams I had to try some. The brand have never failed me before so why not! Well they have not disappointed this time either! I picked up Day Wear and have fallen deeply in love!
Not the best picture I know, I'm taking all these pictures from my phone. If you want a full review of this let me know :)

I've also had a bit of a hair chop! I had it cut first at the beginning of April and just had a trim,   and then yesterday went back to have it cut again, I was thinking maybe going quiet short, if you follow me on integral you will have seen the picture of the style I was thinking of, if not....why not! haha @pollypocketx91! But being the chicken that I am we went with just putting a few layers in to add body and shape to it. I love it!
I get my hair done by the beautiful Shel from Thebeautyshell, if your in the Cambridge area make sure to check her out! She also does my eyebrows amazingly! Take a peek at her site to find out more about her :) 

Keep your eyes open for more post very soon! Few tag posts, OOTD's and reviews are all on there way! :)
