VIOLET VOSS: HOLY GRAIL PALETTE

Hello! Recently, I received a gift from my lovely boyfriend for Valentines Day that I was not expecting at all. As you can tell, this is the beautiful Violet Voss Holy Grail palette. I honestly have been after this for ages but haven't had the money to "waste" per se on this.

I thought I'd do a little blog post about it with some photos and swatches, so don't mind my little pale twig arms!

I hope you enjoy and hopefully I can convince you to invest in the only palette you'll ever want to use again, haha!!

WHATS IN MY EVERYDAY MAKEUP BAG?

Hi everyone, today I'm bringing you a what's in my makeup bag post. I love seeing what other people have in their makeup bags so I thought I'd do my version of it. I do like to wear quite a lot of makeup but that's just me and that's completely okay. Everyone is different.

Anyway, here's what's in my everyday makeup bag and my thoughts about each product!!

(ANOTHER) FOUNDATION REVIEW- NARS ALL DAY LUMINOUS WEIGHTLESS

Hello again! Today I am here with another foundation review. Foundation is easily one of my favourite makeup products to try out, mainly because I'm so picky. My skin tone is so difficult to match and every "professional" that has matched a foundation to my skin has been completely and utterly wrong. There has never been a foundation that has completely matched me, which is probably why I'm on some sort of manhunt to try every foundation that ever existed.

In December I went to Birmingham and went shopping in the Bullring, and naturally went into Selfridges, died, and came back to life again. Oh, and I took my bank account with me too. I've always always wanted to try a NARS foundation because the YouTube beauty community just raves about them. I went up to the counter and asked the lady the difference between the Sheer Glow foundation and the Luminous Weightless. Naturally, I chose the Luminous Weightless because she said it's full coverage, and that's what I love in a foundation. I don't care if I look like I'm wearing foundation, that's the whole point. I want to be flawless, hahaha!

Anyway, without further ado, lets jump into this review.

OOTD: CHELTENHAM RACES

Hello! I recently went to Cheltenham with my boyfriend to watch the horse racing (totally worth it by the way). He took me to the local races a couple of months ago and I had an amazing time and so one day he just booked the Travelodge and surprised me!
I genuinely had the best day ever and we did pretty well in terms of betting, plus we just got pissed. I'd really recommend going if you haven't been before. Plus the atmosphere at Cheltenham is just crazy, even though it wasn't the actual festival.

Anyway, today I am bringing you an outfit of the day from our day out. Obviously its only December so nowhere near the dress expectations of something like Ladies Day, but I still wanted to be smart. Warm, but smart. Without further ado, heres my Cheltenham OOTD.

OCTOBER/AUTUMN FAVOURITES

Hi everyone, I've been really struggling with blogging recently but I'm going to get back into the swing of things now that I'm motivated. Today I'm bringing you my October/autumn beauty favourites... I've bought way too much makeup recently but I've been really impressed and just needed to share!! I just bloody love autumn as well, its my favourite time of the year. Hope you enjoy!

H&M OOTD - KHAKI PLAYSUIT

It's the end of summer and it's that weird weather where sometimes it's completely boiling and the next it's freezing. What is that all about? Do you wear a scarf and jumper, or do you wear shorts and a crop top? The day I did this shoot it was really really warm; perfect playsuit weather.

I really struggle posing for photos and having my photo taken so this was a huge deal in terms of my confidence, but I actually really enjoyed myself and I'm happy with how the shots turned out.

Hope you enjoy!

LETS TALK ABOUT: BROCK TURNER

There is a lot of controversy surrounding the rape case involving Brock Turner in the US, and I feel like rape is not often discussed, nor are the cases. Not to mention the vast amount of judicial bias that surrounds cases when they go to court.

So, grab a cup of tea because this one's going to be lengthy, stick with me.

*TRIGGER WARNING- SEXUAL ASSAULT/RAPE
