Manicure Monday ♡



Now that summer is around the corner and the weather is actually acting like it, I came to the realisation that I need to leave the black nails for a few months. I don't think I have worn a colour that isn't black or white on my nails since I was little, but I really do love these.
I went for a pastel purple/lavender as purple is my favourite colour, with a small black and white detailing cause I couldn't get my nails done without incorporating black/white at all.
Sorry about the fuzzy second picture, I couldn't get my camera to focus!

Rings are all from H&M/Forever 21
Hope you all have a lovely week!

Maybelline Face Master Sculpt ♡

Im not too sure how long this product has been around but I am only just hearing about it. I've mentioned before i'm a big fan of youtube and watching Youtube videos, and recently all my favourite Youtubers have been using this product in their tutorials. 


Im very quick to buy drugstore products because they are usually very affordable, so if I don't really like it I don't feel like its as big of a waste. Whereas with higher end products I feel like regardless if I don't like it I will use every bit of it as it cost so much.

I would recommend this palette to any contour beginner. The powder is very easy to build up which I really like, most drugstore contours are really highly pigmented and I just end up with a brown blob on my cheeks. Its a very true brown colour so you don't need to fear the dreaded orange looking contour, a shade I would say would suit most skin tones. It has a slightly chalky feel to the skin if you use it without a foundation underneath, which I expect from a drugstore contour but this is easily avoided by 1) wearing a foundation or 2) moisturising beforehand if you want to have a no foundation day. 
The highlighter is so much better than I thought it would be. It gives a really natural glow on the skin, I would say its a good dupe for the MAC soft and gentle which I adore minus the specs of shimmer.
I would really recommend this product, great value for money and also really handy when it comes to travelling as you get a 2 in 1.

Quick, Healthy Summer Snack ♡

Now that summer is around the corner I think every girl is thinking the exact same thing, 'I need to loose weight/go on a diet.' Now, how many of us are actually going to make the effort to diet and exercise now? Probably none of us.
I have been trying to think of some quick and healthy snacks to have instead of a packet of crisps or chocolate when i'm hungry, and this is one of them.


These took me about 10 minutes to make all four, you cant get any quicker than that!
All you need is:
  1. Rice cakes
  2. Almond or Peanut butter
  3. Fruit of your choice
These are so delicious and so much fun to eat! Usually with most diet recipes they're full of ingredients that most homes don't have and are such effort to make. This is just about as easy as it gets.

Manicure Monday ♡

It is that day of the week again! Sorry about my inconsistent posts last week, I have a seriously bad case of writers block at the moment, Ive been counting down the days till Monday so I can finally put something up.


I thought I would get something different this month, something that people wouldn't really expect and haven't seen before. The lady who does my nails knows me so well I love it, she knows exactly what I like and the shapes I like. I have been getting compliments non stop all week for these nails saying that they're so unique and quirky. I understand that they're not to everyones taste, they're definitely a love/hate thing.
I personally love them and think they are perfect for the start of summer!
