What's in my hand luggage?

So it's that time of year when everyone starts getting excited about holidays. Well if not everyone, me!  I thought I'd do a what's in my hand luggage post today seeing as its only 4 days til I go to Ibiza! 

1. Black Tote bag 

The plan is to take my new brown tote bag that I got from Matalan a few weeks ago, but as I could no longer find it online, I have gone for this classic black tote also from Matalan. To be honest, the longer I look at it, the more I want to buy it and take that instead..

2. Sunglasses

 Sunglasses are a must on early morning flights/ late night flights in order to hide those under eye airplane bags! Also, they are a necessity when stepping off the plane into the (hopefully) blazing sun.

3. Purse

 A purse for obvious reasons, to carry the necessary cards and holiday dolla'! For some reason, holiday money never seems like real money, so I tend to buy stuff I wouldn't usually buy when I have my sensible head on.

4. Concealer

Seeing as airplanes now have the 100ml fluid rule, I will keep cover up to a minimum and just take my small collection 2000 concealer to touch up any blemishes after the flight.

5. iPhone and earphones 

Well you need your phone for obvious reasons, but the beauty of an iPhone means its also my music as well as my way of accessing Instagram to update it!

6. Lip balm

On flights, my lips seem to get ridiculously dry due to the air conditioning, so I shall keep them alive with this gorgeous lip balm from Hawiian Tropic as it also has the benefit of SPF25!

7. Passport case

I thought this passport case from paperchase was so cute! Such a chirpy way to present your passport!

8. Wet wipes

These are also a necessity on flights to freshen up on the plane. Brilliant to take your make up off with, and even more brilliant on your armpits..

9. Chewing gum

To beat the overnight bad breath and to keep your mouth feeling clean. If only for a while (hahaa)

10. Reading material 

Of course I need my trust Company magazine to get me through the journey as well as the third in the trilogy of 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. I bought it months ago and just haven't got round to reading it yet, so I am determined to get thought it by the end of the holiday!

I'm ridiculously excited seeing as I went shopping today to get toiletries and to exchange my money, Gaah.

Maybe I'm out of my mind

Good evening lovelies!

Just a quick OOTD post today. This is what I wore yesterday whilst out shopping with the boy. Just a simple outfit really as it was raining and a bit grim. I got this shirt last week in the Miss Selfridge sale for £15 instead of £28 ( i think) so I'm a very happy bunny!

Beauty Training! (picture heavy)

Helloo lovelies! 

So Thursday I got back from my Nottingham beauty training trip for work and it was brill. Admittedly, I shat myself knowing I had to get two trains seeing as I have never got a train by myself before, but all went well and I didn't get lost! (yay) So we stayed in The Village Hotel in Brailsford and it was gorgeous, there was food on tap and a free spa and swimming pool for us to use. (Plus all of the staff we're pretty hot..) Luckily everyone there was lovely and we all made friends quickly. We had several different work shops including talks with Phillips, Braun, No7, YSL and fragrance distributor 'Coty'. It was a brilliant experience and I am so happy I did it! Below are just some pictures of my few days there.

So that's it! There's a lot I could talk about, but I shant bore you!

In my fantasy we're running wild

Good evening!

Just an outfit post today as I have been at work all day despite to beautiful weather :( So this is what I wore yesterday, all of it is actually new which I haven't actually realized until now (haha). I have been pining after a new pair of sandals ever since my trusty ones have become so loose that they are now basically flip flops :( I have had my eyes on these ones for a while now and luckily held off on buying them as they went down to £7.99 from £14.99 (yay). Recently (after a thorough sort through my room), I gave myself a handbag ban as I have a stupendous amount of them, but when I was this suede and leather bag in Primark for a tenner, well, can you blame a girl. Well, I'm off to Nottingham tomorrow for a beauty training course for work, I'm super excited (and nervous about the two trains) so expect a Nottingham Related post soon :)

Garnier Moisture Match - Goodbye Dry

Hello!

I've seen these new Garnier Moisture Match moisturisers in work for a few months now and I have finally given in to buying one. These five moisturisers come in five different textures in order to suit five different skin types. 

As you can see, I bought 'Goodbye dry' as I find every now and again I get dry patches in certain areas on my face. So far I'm loving it, you can use in day and night and even though its pretty thick (as you can see above), it soaks in really quickly and doesn't feel greasy. Oh and did I mention it smells gooooorg!

Has anyone else tried this range? If not, go here and get your moisture match! :)

 

Soap & Glory Madness

Good afternoon my lovelies!

So yesterday I was at work and I went a bit mad on our 3 for 2 offer on Soap & Glory make-up and ended up buying 3 lipsticks because I got one of them for free. I twas very naughty of me but I couldn't help myself. I have really wanted a raspberry pink lipstick for a while and when I saw this Soap & Glory one called 'Pom   Pom' in matte I couldn't resist. I then saw another Matte one called 'Blush Pink' which is a purple on me, so I got that too, so I thought meh, might as well get another, it is free after all... 

Swatches: Pom Pom - Blush Pink - Man Trap

Pom Pom and a cheesy grin. Ignore the background mess..

As you can see from the frankly scary picture above, I have been wearing 'Pom Pom' today and the staying power is incredible, I took it off to eat and I was literally scrubbing it and it wouldn't budge! Plus the colour is gorgeous so yay! In other news, I shall be travelling up to Nottingham on the 10th June for a 4 

day beauty course, MEGA EXCITED. 

I hope everyone's enjoying the weather today, it's gorgeous in Bristol today! If anyone has tried any of the Soap & Glory lipsticks, tell me what you think!  

Just another brick in the wall

Good evening!

So yesterday was a beautiful day and luckily I wasn't at work. Me and one of my band members played an acoustic set at this years 'Dot to Dot' festival which takes place every year in Bristol. As it was a gorgeous day and I knew I'd be out in town for majority of it, I wore this maxi skirt/tank top combo. It was a such a lovely day, sat in the sun drinking cider, it just makes me excited for better weather!
