Magnifibres Magic ♡

Hi there wanderers, I am officially back from Belgium (boo) but am now blogging and YouTubing again (yay). I decided that whilst I was away at home I didn't want to be doing either as I really wanted to make the most of being at home and enjoying some quality family time. I am now back in touch with reality in cold rainy Scotland and need to get my head into gear!

First of all, I want to talk about Magnifibres! What it is is a revolutionary product! Basically the box itself game me a very helpful step by step of how to work and apply the product.

I have naturally very short lashes and when I heard about this I was slightly sceptical just like with any other product which promises to give you longer looking lashes. However, I was definitely not disappointed! I am not a huge fake lash wearer in fact I have only ever tried them on ONCE and took them off after all of three minutes.. 

Magnifibres was incredibly easy to apply and since the fibres stuck to my own lashes it looked absolutely natural. A huge plus! You basically apply one coat of your normal mascara, add a coat of the Magnifibres product, sit tight for a minute and reapply a coat of your own mascara and low and behold - your own eyelashes have miraculously grown! :D 

If you would like to check it out for yourself check them out on their website over here --> Magnifibres. 

Would you be willing to try Magnifibres?

Makeup March ♡

Hi there wanderers, today's post is all about three new purchases of mine:

Boots - Cucumber Cleansing Wipes

Rimmel London - White Eyeliner 004

Rimmel London - Black/Brown Eyebrow pencil 710

I have been using the cleansing wipes for as long as I can remember and I don't think i will ever stop loving them to be honest! It cleans my skin up nicely, smells delicious and is great for my sensitive skin that is prone to redness. The eyeliner is a brand new addition as I have been seeing it everywhere! I have been wearing it for a few days and it definitely makes my eyes (which are tiny) pop out more and seem a lot more awake :) The last product is the eyebrow pencil; something I have never even thought f buying before! It may be a tad shade too dark but as I only apply a small amount it does the trick perfectly for me :) I have naturally very 'barely there' type eyebrows so I definitely need to fill in the gaps!

Nail Nirvana ♡

Hi there wanderers, and to join my list of many first, today's post will be all about nails and manicures! I am absolutely obsessed with all things nails and when I was younger I always thought nail varnish was an absolute waste of time! I did spend hours collecting them just for the colours though I never opened them once! 

I then grew to love light pink, pastel shades and would spend hours trailing through shops and finding that perfect baby pink shade. I can now say that I own at least three boxes full (about fifty) of a plethora of pastel pinks and baby shades. Most of them are now half empty as I did end up opening them and applying them everyday. However, once Summer came about in good old Belgium I decided to venture out and saw what OPI colours had to offer me (OPI is my favourite for long and durable nail colour). I moved from pink shades to more adventurous once such as sunshine orange, banana yellow, green grass and lilac purples. 

Now though I prefer to veer towards Matte shades as it is (or feels like) Winter here in Scotland. As soon as Summer is upon us again I will crack open those adorable pastel and soft shades! How about you? What shades do you always rely on?

Birchbox February ♡

♡ Birchbox February

Hi there wanderers, welcome to my second post on unboxing my Birchbox! So this month we have some super awesome products! Super awesome because 1) I can give the chocolate to my boyfriend as a token of appreciation and help in my new diet and 2) I have always always always wanted to try the Eyeko liquid eyeliner! I honestly cannot wait to try out all these products (minus of course the chocolate) and am actually going to try out the polish tomorrow as I currently have on a Matte Pink from Topshop but it's time for a change! 

This particular Birchbox came to a grand total of £64.03 which I guess really means £32 as the products are all miniaturised (as mentioned previously). Once again it is a bargain! Compared to the £10 I actually spent on this lovely February box I am very happy with the result. If you would like to join the Birchbox community and receive these wonderful products why not check them out here and see for yourself! I have to say my favourite feature is probably the fact that no box is exactly the same! Meaning everyone has a little surprise tailored to their personality. How cute! 

♡ Nourishing hair oil 

♡ Foolproof liquid liner

♡ Gentle exfoliator for a youthful complexion

♡ Paraben free formula to hydrate skin

♡ High performance polish 

♡ The highest quality organic coca beans for a delicious treat

Products mentioned:

♡ Beauty Protector Protect & Oil - £16

♡ Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner - £12

♡ Urbanveda Radiance Exfoliating Facial Polish - £8.99

Maybelline Favourites ♡

Maybelline Favourites ♡

Maybelline Favourites ♡

Hi there wanderers, as I have been quite absent and have not written a blog post in quite a number of days, I do apologise for that, I have decided to write a quick post at 2.15am just to keep you interested and I will (I promise) go back to a regular blog post everyday as I have been doing before this slight gap in business :D In fairness I blame University and work for keeping me shattered and far too busy!

Today's (mini) post is on three lovely new products I recently purchased at Boots and these are:

♡Maybelline Falsies Volum' Express Flared Mascara (£7.99)

♡Maybelline Baby Lips in Peach Kiss (£2.99)

♡Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch (£2.99)

I cannot get over just how cute and totally adorable the Baby Lips range is! It literally took me half an hour (no exaggerating; ask my poor boyfriend who had to wait around for me!) just to choose which ones I wanted. It really didn't help that Boots had on a 2 for 3 sale in which you buy three products and get the cheapest one free. Meaning one of the Baby Lip balms were free, yay! 

I really want to go back to Boots and pick up the Baby Lip balms in 'Hydrate', 'Intensive Care', 'Mint Fresh' and 'Cherry Me'!! :) 

I have been wearing the Falsies mascara lately and I know I mentioned in a recent post that I wanted the volume mascara in the very black range but when I saw this mascara I couldn't leave the shop without getting it (at a very affordable £7.99)! The mascara totally works and has a spoon side with a flared effect and a straight side to the wand for expanding the volume of the lashes, for me, it really does the job! 

I hope you enjoyed this very random, late night blog post and that you keep your eyes peeled over on my YouTube channel here for my new video coming out tomorrow! :)

My Daily Makeup Routine ♡

Makeup Products

Hi there wanderers, today's post will be on my makeup routine and in what order I apply each piece to

my bare face. I honestly have not changed up my routine in at least two years but I like what I have right now and I feel like if I changed it up I might not be entirely happy with the finished product.. Meaning the mess that is my face!

I am not a huge makeup guru nor am I the kind of person who loves to experiment and go wild with different styles and pieces so I prefer to stick to a more clean cut, natural and very minimalistic routine and colour on my face. 

I use my fingers (washed of course) mainly for applying all my foundation and concealer as I find that using brushes is not for me at all! It gets applied to my face faster when it is with my own hands and for the blush I do use a brush. I would say this routine takes me about ten minutes maximum every morning as I have perfected the fastest way to apply makeup! 

I hope you enjoyed reading this! 

Products featured:

♡Clinique - Even Better Makeup SPF 15

♡Maybelline - Dream Matte Mousse (Sun Beige 048)

♡Rimmel - Hide the Blemish Concealer (Soft Honey 103)

Beauty Wishlist: Top 5 ♡

Hi there wanderers, welcome to my top 5 items currently on my beauty wish list!

These items are ones that I really really really want but haven't had a chance (or the money) to purchase them! Although in saying that some of the items listed are really not that bad price-wise, I just have terrible spending and saving budget skills.. As you might have noticed, I have added the Naked 3 palette as one of my top 5 items and yet in one of my upcoming YouTube videos (look for it on HERE) I mentioned that even though I had no money (£37's worth!) to be spending on expensive palettes and that the 'In the Buff' palette was just as practical, if not better, as a wholesome palette. I just can't help myself falling into the hype and buying into the latest craze.. 

So with that in mind I hope you feel the same as me in terms of giving in to fashion and beauty related crazes and that this post gives you some, if any, inspiration :)

Top 5 Beauty Products

Items featured:

♡ Naked 3 Palette

♡ EOS - Smooth Lip Balm Sphere

♡ Maybelline - The Rocket Mascara (Very Black)

♡ Topshop - Lip Bullet in Crave

♡Benefit - Hoola Bronzer

January Shopping Haul ♡

♡ January Shopping Haul (whoops) ♡

Hi there wanderers, todays post is going to be about my January Shopping Haul and there are lots of new buys, goodie! I have a severe shopping condition and I am signed up to far way too many online shopping forums and sites! Recent ones I have joined are Pinterest (which makes me want literally everything!), click here for my profile, and my favourite new website is called The Hunt and you can find my profile here! 

Basically The Hunt is this super trendy website where you can search exactly what it is you're looking for by uploading a picture of the item and then you just sit back and wait for everyone else to tell you where you can buy that exact item! It super easy and the response is so fast as well. While you are waiting for people to find your items you can browse so many different things that you end up finding articles you want that you didn't even know existed two minutes ago! (That happened for me with the Nutella dispenser and the plastic bottle that crushes fruit and dissolves it into your water..). 

Anyway here is a handy list of all the items on my January shopping haul! 

Items featured: ☟

♡Polaroid Album - Amazon

♡Daisy Phone Case - New Look 

♡Black Heels - Ebay

♡Shirt - Wildflower

♡Dress - New Look

♡Kimono - New Look

♡Mint Top - Missguided

♡Purple Top - Missguided

♡Mesh Crop Top - Missguided

♡Quilted Top - Topshop

♡Black shorts - Topshop

♡White jumper - Asos (Mango)

♡Daisy Dress - Asos 

♡Blue Top - Forever 21

♡Pink lace Top - Boohoo

Can't wait to wear all of this, just looking at it makes me want to climb out of bed and put them on!
