Summer Wish List | Holiday Edition by akws 

OOTD | Queen's Garden Party

Hello lovelies, 

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I was lucky enough to be able to attend one of Her Majesty's Summer Garden Parties at Buckingham Palace, so this is what I wore!

Afternoon Tea at Buckingham Palace | Queen's Garden Party

Hello lovelies :)

On the 30th May I was lucky enough to attend one of Her Majesty's annual Garden Parties at Buckingham Palace!

Make Up by benefit

Heyy :)

Just before we were due to head of to Buckingham Palace for the Queen's Garden Party, we had to pick my dad up from work & he needed to get changed, so all the girls headed into Peter Jones which is right across the street to get our make up done :)

My mum chose to get hers done at Lancome, and I chose benefit (the man at Bobbi Brown was pretty rude and said we needed an appointment), but I'm glad I went with benefit in the end. The make up artist was lovely (but I can't remember her name, although she did have awesome red hair!), and we chatted the whole time. 

She did a natural look on me which I loved using lots of products including they're real mascara, hello flawless foundation, the porefessional and fake up concealer!

On the day there was a 10% off competitor price match, as well as if you bought 3 or more products you would get a free make up bag and some samples, so I went ahead as the sucker I am to buy some goodies!!

I picked up the hello flawless foundation in Ivory "believe in me" as well as "I'm pure 4 sure" because I'm between shades, as well as the new fake up concealer in 01 light.

In total I spent just over £56, but for the amount of product I got, and the free makeup bag I was pretty happy!!

Have any of you tried the new fake up concealer? If so how has it worked for you?

Haul- Boots & Superdrug

Heyy :)

After reading some of the recommendations you guys left me for products to buy for my Canadian cousin (check out my last blog post here), I thought I would make a start by collecting a few things in the week before I visit. So I popped into Boots & Superdrug to pick her up some bits, I also bought a few goodies for myself- well, why not?! 

Spring Wish List

Heyy :)

It's sunny outside, spring is finally here ( I hope it stays ) 
so here is my Spring wish list for April!

Original Source: Lemon and Tea Tree

Hello!

After recommendation, I purchased the Original Source Lemon and Tea Tree Shower Gel, and believe me when I tell you, that you will smell of lemon curd if you use this! 

Mini Spring/Summer Haul

Hello!

So Spring is here, and Summer is on its way, so what better than a bit of shopping! This is just a mini haul of a couple if bits I've bought over the last week or so :)

Simple VIP: Cleansing Facial Wipes

Hello!

So way back in September of last year I signed up to Simple VIP, where members can talk about Simple products, review them and take advantage of promotions and free samples.

Today I received an unexpected parcel in the post, and it was from Simple! They sent me a full size pack (25 wipes) of their Cleansing Facial Wipes* to try out. 

Stickygram: Easter Deal

Hello!

Following on from my blog post about Stickygram here, I thought I'd let you all know that they have the 3 for 2 offer back on for the Easter holidays. The prices are great, and the shipping took no time at all considering it was from the US (free shipping too!).

Use the code "EASTERTREATS" at the checkout and get your 3rd sheet for free! (This offer ends on April 1st so hurry!)

I love my Stickygram magnets, and I'll probably be ordering some more soon!

Hope everyone has a great Easter weekend :)

What's in my bag? Travel Edition!

Hello!

So I'm sat here writing this when I should be getting ready to leave for the airport, but couldn't resist doing a 'What's in my bag' blog post! I'm off on a field trip to Mallorca for a week, and this is what my hand luggage looks like, bearing in mind this is a short haul flight, I haven't packed any beauty type products (except a lip balm).

So first of all the bag. I have had this bag for about 2 and a bit years now and its pretty tattered and dirty, nevertheless I love it and its great for travelling. It folds up pretty small too as you can see! It is the Le Pliage from Longchamp and can be found here from Selfidges.

Bag Contents:

1. My Passport- essential for travelling, and I've recently got a new one so the picture isn't even that bad!

2. A book- I've just bought 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green to read on the plane and then when I have any spare time out there

3. My iPad- for playing games and browsing on the wifi, I absolutely love it! My case is from Cath Kidston, in the sale from John Lewis in January

4. Sunglasses- essential for sunny locations, these are my Ray Ban Wafarer sunglasses, they were the new design when I bought them in Harvey Nichols

5. Headphones- for listening to music and watching youtube videos! :)

6. My iPhone- I take this everywhere, and whilst I'm away I'll have a Spanish SIM so I can use the internet cheaply!

7. My wallet- I love this too, and its from Cath Kidston :)

8. Lip balm- from nivea, just incase they get a bit dry from the aircon on the plane- and it has SPF too!

9. Sweets! My all time favourites are Haribo so I got two packets! Yum :)

10. Sudoku and a pen- I get really hooked on sudoku and normally spend my summer doing them on the beach, its also good to keep the brian active!

10. I'm also taking my Canon 650D DSLR camera with me but, I used it to take this!

That's all I'm taking with me in my hand luggage, the rest is in my HUGE suitcase (only going for a week!!) which will be in the hold.  I feel like I have forgotten something, so fingers crossed I haven't!!

Are any of you going away soon? What do you normally carry with you?
