Style Crush...Kourtney Kardashian

A few weeks ago, I watched Keeping up with the Kardashians for the first time ever! I know what you're all thinking, I'm so behind the times right? But to be honest I don't actually watch that much t.v and I always flicked past it whenever it was on. 
I now have to admit that I am hooked, my boyfriend and I will watch the lovely Kardashian and Jenner family at any opportunity we get (I think he enjoys it even more than I do haha) and I have come to realise that I have a serious style crush on Kourtney Kardashian.

I think she is absolutely gorgeous! She has amazing hair, facial features, teeth and a figure to die for! (serious girl crush haha) I also love that she's petite! Being petite girl myself, it can be frustrating finding clothes that fit perfectly, but Kourtney Kardashion is petite and looks fabulous!!

Her style is so feminine and classy, yet effortless. She never tries too hard which is what I'm soooo envious of! Of course she has the money to buy such fabulous clothes, which I unfortunately don't. Alas! But I'm pretty sure she would make a paper bag look great!

Another thing I love about Kourtney Kardashian is her personality. Yes she can be slightly blunt and sometimes looks quite misog but she is such a sweet person! On top of that she is a great mum and shares a wonderful relationship with the rest of her huge tight-nit family! She is definitely my fave out of the trio!

Kourtney inspires me with her make up too. Her skin is always flawless and bronzed,! Jealous much?
She can pull of an intense smokey eye and a bright pink pout with ease, yet can still look as beautiful with minimal make up!

Oh to trade lives with a Kardashian.....

Lipstick Obsession...Exotic Orchid Shimmer

If you've been reading my blog for a little while now, you will know that I love lipsticks as I don't stop banging on about them! In my Estee Lauder Lipsticks post, which you can find HERE, I briefly mentioned one of the Lipsticks Exotic Orchid Shimmer. I am in love with this lipstick, it has become my new obsession. 






 It was always one of those lipsticks that I would wear only on a night out, due to the vibrancy and the paleness of my skin but over the past two weeks I have been wearing it every single day.

This is a hideous picture...Apologies
 Packaging:  Love Love LOVE the packaging. Sleek, shiny gold tubes. What more can you ask for?

Scent: Most Estee Lauder Lipsticks have a particular scent that I can't quite put my finger on but it I do love it. It's fruity but not too overpowering which is what appeals to me.

Durability: The durability of this lipstick is great. Stayed on for pretty much my whole day at work with just a few touch ups and it also didn't dry my lips out which is an added bonus! 

Consistency: This lipstick goes on like a dream, it's so creamy but it does tend to slip during the day. I would definitely  recommend bringing a compact with a mirror with you if you are wearing this lipstick as no one wants lipstick smudged all over their face!

Price: The price is something I dislike about this, and all Estee Lauder products. I can justify spending £18 when I have the money but if I don't, I do feel it is a little steep for a lipstick. 

If you like Estee Lauder lipsticks, or just bright colours and don't mind spending £18 on a lipstick then I highly recommend this! This is by far my favourite lipstick in my whole collection!

Hair Of The Day...Loose Voluminous Waves

Just a quick hair and face (kind of) of the day post today girlies. I'm off out in Wimbledon for dinner this evening so I messily curled my hair and then brushed the curls out so that I had loose waves. I then backcombed the hell out of the top sections and my fringe (which is now crazily long and in need of a good old snip) and hey presto I have loose voluminous waves. With half a can of hairspray on my hair it should survive the rain and wind that I shall venture into.

I look naked but I promise I'm not... I have a bandeau top on haha



Hope you all like it.
Any questions ladies....ask away

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder?

If you're anything like me, you may find that there are simple things in life that just make you smile! I've been absent from blogging for a little over a week due to some sucky things that life just throws at you every now and again, but today I've had a day that has just made me smile, laugh and have a jolly good time!

(Image weheartit.com)

Today I helped my Dad with the gardening. I'm not particularly an outdoorsy kind of girl and I'm definitely not green fingered, but it allowed me be out in the beautiful sunshine, which is very rare in London, and it also helped with my mood as I could take my frustration out on those darn weeds! 

I went for a loooong walk with the bf. Admittedly I hated the idea of walking in the heat when he first suggested it, but once I'd reluctantly left the house, we ended up having a good old giggle!It also counted as strenuous exercise as we trekked up a humongous hill (his idea yet again!), which is great for my weight-loss programme! 

One of my friends sent my photo's from my last birthday over and I had a right good laugh at the drunken antics and how ridiculous we looked in our geek outfits!

Writing this post is also another reason that has made me smile. I love my little bloggy blog and how there are no constraints to what, when and how I write on it! 

Hope you all have a lovely weekend......

Estee Lauder Make Up Collection Video


I've recently dabbled in making YouTube Video's and I must say I'm really enjoying doing it..I still feel a bit like an idiot talking to myself but I'm sure once I get into the swing of things it won't feel so strange. I did a post a few months back on my Estee lauder Lipstick Collection and got a few request on what other Estee Lauder products I owned so I hope this answers the questions that you had. Please check out my YouTube channel if you liked this video.

Have a lovely week ladies

Hair Of The Day...Bow Updo





This is a really simple look to achieve, but after trying and failing numerous of times to type the explanation out, I've come to the conclusion it is impossible for me to explain without doing a demonstration. If you'd like to know how to achieve this updo or just have any questions then please ask away :) I may do a YouTube video or maybe a step by step photo blog post jobby thingy majig if that would interest you ladies at all?
