Feel Unique and Cult Beauty


I've been meaning to get my hands on the Becca Jaclyn Hill collab, Champagne Pop highlighter but I didn't want to get it in Sephora as it would have cost me a lot to get it shipped. So when I heard from Kaushal that it's now available at Cult beauty, I knew I had to place an order. 
But then I also remembered that Huda Beauty just launched her lashes on the Cult beauty site so it was appropriate for me to purchase one of her lashes. I decided to go for one of her most loved items which is Giselle #1. I think they're a bit too big for me but I'll just trim them down. I really cant wait to try these two products out!

From Feel Unique, I finally got some items that have been on my wishlist for a long time. The first is the setting spray that everyone raves about and now it's finally mine! I also show a couple of youtubers wear the Matte Revolution lipstick in 1993 and I thought it looked really pretty, like an everyday nude toned colour which is something that I've currently been obsessed with. The last Urban Decay I brought was the Glide on travel set with 5 shades of eyeliner. I'm really gutted that I missed out on the 10 piece set that they had last year as I would have gotten a lot more colours with that one but I'm still really glad that I finally have some of the most talked about eyeliners ever! 

I seriously can't wait to use these products in everyday life and tutorials. 

1. Becca: Champagne Pop- £30
2. Huda Beauty: Giselle #1- £12 

Feel Unique:
1. Urban Decay: All Nighter Setting Spray- Original Price: £21. Sale Price: £18.90. I got it for £17.22 because I get an extra 10% discount for all urban decay products which I was able to chose after doing a little survey about myself on the feel unique website. 
2. Urban Decay: Matte Revolution Lipstick in 1993- Original Price: £15.50. Sale Price: £13.95. I got it for £12.27.
3. Urban Decay: 24/7 Travel Size Pencil Set in Cosmic- Original Price: £25. Sale Price: £17.50. I got it for £15.82. 

I LOVE SAVING MONEY!

Designer Wishlist


As you can tell from the title, I am going to be talking about my top 5 designer products wishlist that I have always wanted. 

1. Christian Louboutin So Kate: Need I say more? But seriously, one day, I'm going to have a kylie Jenner collection of these heels and that is the dream. Truly, I've told myself not to set goals on what I want in my life as a career because that always changes depending on circumstances but the dream is to be able to afford your own louboutins.  Price: £425

2. Valentino Rockstud leather Pumps: Just look at them! What can I really say about these? They are studded, they have a very flattering style to them which helps you feet look pretty and they make you feel confidence. So, why wouldn't you want to splash some cash on something that will boost your confidence and make you stand taller? Price: £650 

3. Alexander Wang Rocco: Most beauty bloggers have this bag and they are not wrong to like it. It's got gold studs at the bottom, it's oval shaped and the interior is beautiful. Price: £775.


4. Chanel No. 5 Perfume: This is such a cult perfume that all women know of but it doesn't necessarily mean that we can all afford to buy it. My theory is that it is only perfume so do I really want to spend £70-£100 just a spray? The truth is, I want to but that feels like a slap in the face to spend so much money on perfume. The highest I've ever spend on perfume is around £25 and not a pence above it. I have mixed feelings about this because part of me wants it and the other part of me, thinks its absolutely ridiculous to spend so much on just a bit of fragranced water. Price: £70

5. Michael Kors Rose Gold Watch: This is a beautiful watch! It would be amazing if I could hopefully buy this for my birthday! I love how the rose gold and the white plated design clash together and the watch blings with silver stones embedded into the wheel of the watch. It just looks so classy and sophisticated and worth the drama! Price: £229

I hope you enjoyed this and let me know what your designer wishlist is. I also hope you're enjoying my Top 5 series as I have a lot more of them coming soon. 


Thank you and see you next time!

Female Youtubers


Well, hello, and welcome back to my blog. So today, is a continuation of my Top 5 series and as you can tell by the title, I am going to be talking about my top 5 female youtubers. Now, you have to keep in mind that I do watch a lot of youtubers but the channels I am mentioning today are what got me into blogging and youtube. So, in no particular order, I shall start. I've decided to even go through my Like videos playlist on youtube to kind of get an idea of when I started watching each of the youtubers I will mention (mind you, there is around 2500 likes so it will take me a while).

1. Zoella AKA Zoe Sugg- I've had my youtube subscription since 2010 but I'm pretty sure I started watching her videos around 2011/2012 but from my liked list, the first video I did like of her's is her How To: Milkmaid Braid Up do- which was the hairstyle I did for my birthday on 28th May whilst she had posted that on the 14th of May 2014.


2. PixiWoo AKA Sam and Nic Chapman: So based on my like video playlist, the (unofficial) first video I watched on their channel is the Mystique X-Men inpsired Makeup look that Sam did, that was uploaded on 19th September 2013, but I'm pretty sure there were several others that I watched before I started liking their videos and by like, I mean the thumbs up. I remember being confused by seeing two different people on their channel because from other videos I watched there weren't any duos that worked on a channel together but now it's common for friends to do a youtube together. 


3. Tanya Burr: The first liked video from Tanya, is her What's In my Bag video which was uploaded on 23rd August 2014. I think I was introduced to her channel by a suggested videos from either Pixiwoo's channel or Zoella's. But I remember watching a ton of her videos in one sitting because I was so interested on her makeup tutorials. 


4. Fleur De Force AKA Fleur: I'm pretty sure Fleur was one of the first beauty bloggers I watched. I rmember when she had an intro for her channel that consisted of her giving a kiss to the screen so based on that I'm pretty sure she was one of the very first bloggers I watched. My first liked video of her is her Beauty Q&A with Sprinkleofglitter and Zoella video. This was uploaded on 5th April 2012. 


I'm pretty sure that the like videos aren't the official first videos that I did like as I know Youtube likes to skip a few etc. so this is just based on what is there but for the most part, I've watched these youtubers well before I liked their videos- at the time, I wasn't really aware of what it meant to thumbs up a video so I didn't do it often. 



5. Kaushal Beauty: Now Kaushal Beauty is someone that I had always watched but never subscribed to and I don't even know why but finally around October/ November, I did in fact, subscribe to her. My first liked video of hers that actually appears in the playlist is her Indian Wedding Get Ready With Me

What to Wear on a Date

Welcome back to my blog and today is a huge event as I'm starting a new series. I've decided to call it 'The Closet Truth' where I will be talking about certain fashion issues (in terms of outfits etc). For the first of the series, I will be talking about what to wear on a date. 

So, I want to start off by saying that I'm a huge feminist and as a feminist, I don't think we need to get all glammed up for a man- that doesn't mean that he's not deserving of it but simply if he cannot accept you at your worst then surely you shouldn't allow him to see you at your best, right? 



To begin with, let's start off by saying that the whole purpose of a date is to get to know each other and what better way to get to know each other by what you wear. I love to sleep. That's one of the biggest things you need to know about me and rather than tell you that I could always just rock up to a date wearing my pyjamas and honestly, I would very much like to do exactly that just to show you that although it is pyjamas, you can make it look super smart and casual with the way you accessorize it. But when I say pjs, I actually mean a shirt and bottoms not sexy lingerie otherwise he'll get the wrong idea so be careful in what you chose to wear. So, if you're a lover of sleep then I challenge you to wear pjs on a first date with someone. However, if you're not fond of that idea, you could express your feelings in a t-shirt like this one: 


Another great way to express who you are is with slogan shirts and jumpers. I mean, they're cute and funny so why not. You honestly cannot go wrong with some of these! I just think that these sorts of outfits shows that a) you're fun, b) you have a sense of humour and c) you're not being your artificial self. So one of my favourite foods is pizza- I live and breathe that cheesy goodness and if I wore a shirt with a pizza slogan on it, the person I'm with will be more open to what I actually like to eat rather than just guessing. If pizza by itself isn't enough, throw in one of your favourite singers and that there is a conversational starter. 

Naturally I'd say wear something casual, not over the top because you have to remember that it is just a first date and if it is meant to be, it'll be your personality that clicks with him not your outfit. Jeans and t-shirt are what most wear everyday, the way to change that up is by accessorizing it with pieces that makes it look like you're making an effort even if you aren't. 


I kind of miss the old day where men would 'court' a lady for months before finally becoming official. I honestly think that if this person doesn't have to try hard enough to 'get' you then he can just as easily 'lose' interest in you so ladies, please, keep your high expectations and just compromise on minor issues because you deserve the best and you deserve to be treated like a queen.
