Clutch/travel essentials

Hello guys!

Considering it's winter and the party season but also travelling, im going away at the end of Jan and thought I'd share my beauty essentials when you need to pack light/have a small bag!!!

Firstly make up, this is more for a Clutch bag because for holiday unfortunately my fave needs more then this haha! But what a useful tip for this is choosing items that can double up, for example

Here I have mac so chaud lipstick which can too be used to tint cheeks as a blush ( but only a smidge, clowns are not in season ;))

the next is concealer, apart from doing its job it can also act as a contour or highlighter job! Again this is mac in the shade nw20 , the coverage is amazing :)

Third make up is eye pencil, for your eyebrows but can also make do as a eyeliner woo!The one I chose was rimmel but anastasia brow pencil is amazing also!

Next is anti bac wipes, you never know when you might need these, especially in club or airport toilets!!!

Small purses are a saviour too, fitting your phone, bank card and I'd can be hard in a clutch so a small purse let's you take just the essentials! This is my cath kidson one I got for chrimbo!! (Thanks mum )

Small/compact mirrors are so useful too, especially if you decide to venture with red lippy so you can spot check! 

That little brown thing is a hair clip, which after a sweaty night out or long flight is perfect when hair just gets in the way and you don't want it anywhere near your face!!! Boots is the best for these! 

And lastly something nice smelling! Now, you don't want to take your whole perfume bottle with you so you can either get those mini tubes and fill a little bit in, but my  urrent fave is the body shop body mist in moringa and it smells so good but I chose a mist instead of perfume because then you can spray anywurrrrrrr ( and it smells so pretty )

I hope that was some use to you guys eve n just for clutch bag inspo or you too are going travelling that this helps! And if you have any similar products you find useful then please tweet me

Beauty-ful presents review!

Hello everyone!
i hope everyone had a really good christmas and ate loads of chocolate ( i know i did, no shame! ) and then its new years woo, i know everyone says this but i genuinely can't believe its 2015 in a few days ahhhh, i feel so old. Anyway, i thought i would kickstart with a review of some of the popular winter products we got for christmas ( and what to look out for in the sales, hell yeaaahhhh ).

The first thing i got for christmas was 4 mini's of the clinique chubby sticks/ crayons in Woppin' Watermelon, Balm Plushest Punch, Pudgy Peony Grandest Grape 1.2g in a Pink and Silver Bag ( which might i add is super cute and perfectly fits in nail varnishes!! :)).
These were one of my stocking fillers and i know its a little late on the hype and i already have a gajillion of the revlon colour crayons but these are so cute and they fit perfectly in side pockets of handbags and the colour stay is really strong ( withheld my christmas chocolate attacks ) and i found they were really moisturising for your lips but not too thick and gloopy that you can't move your mouth, perfect for withstanding the whole night at partys such as new years, they don't rub off when drinking your... lemonade... but also just the fact they're mini eeee.
and also, they're currently reduced at debenhams to £13.33 from original rep £20 ( you're welcome )

The second beauty item i got for christmas was the ole henriksen pure truth melting cleanser, id never seen this before but my auntie recommended it so i thought i'd try it and oh my lawwwwd this stuff is insane, i know there's a massive buzz recently in the beauty blogger world with cleansing balms but this belly stuff is insaaaane, before when removing my make up i would double cleanse with liz earle cleanse and polish and then a cleansing face wash to make sure all the impurities were removed but with this belly stuff you just gently apply it to your face all over and then wash off with a hot flannel and its all gone, thank you beauty santa! massive kudos to you with love from , my face. ( although i'm still searching for one just as good for eyes, rubbing jelly in your eyes is bad kids )

beauty santa got this for me from germany but i found it in the reduced section of selfridges ( again, you're welcome ) from £24 to £21.60 woooooo i love sales.

and a third and final thing ( i didn't want to bore everyone, Ill let you get back to your christmas chocolates in a bit ;) ) that beauty santa got me for christmas was the soap and glory gift set of sugar crush, it had the body butter, scrub and shower lotion with a doofer to wash with. This scent by soap and glory is honestly incredible but the body scrub has similar qualities to the sanctuary oat scrub but the scent makes you smell like a walking angelic fruit bowl ( i don't work in PR i promise , with similes like that ) it just smells of lime and goodness and having every single shower/body  essential smelling of it is what dreams are made of!!
and boots are now selling all gift sets half price so it is now reduced from £18 to £9 , PRAISE THE LAWD FOR SALES MMMMMMM MMMM


haha anyway, hope you all had a lovely christmas and prosperous new year and i'll see you in 2015 mother lovers!!!
