Meeting Vivianna does make up and Lily Pebbles!

Hey Everyone,

Today's post is all about my trip to London (again!), but this time I went to the Kiehl's meet up and met Anna (Vivianna does make up) and Lily (Lily Pebbles). I can't believe I just typed that! I have been reading their blogs forever and watching their videos for longer! It honestly felt like meeting old friends :P - they were such lovely girls to meet! 

I just like to say a huge thank you to Anna and Lily for doing the meet up, and to Kiehl's for holding the event! The evening was awesome - I particularly enjoyed the 20% off  and that lovely elder flower beverage that was being served :P (easily pleased!)

So, I traveled to London with my best friend Allie (Living Life in Docs), leaving Brighton station just in time to catch our train! 

We arrived in Covent Garden and we were starving! So, naturally we searched for a near by Starbucks - I swear we are like homing pigeons to that place! 

Of course I got my holiday favourite Turkey feast panini, and I branched out and got the Orange Mocha (tastes like liquid chocolate orange with caffeine!)

We made a quick stop at Space NK before the event, and made the error of testing the Hour Glass Mineral Veil Primer :O! It's beautiful! Allie had to drag me out before I spent all my money! 

When we arrived at Kiehl's the excitement was over-whelming! I think my phrase was "I'm going to wee myself with excitement!" Thankfully I did not :P 

Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to take many pictures at the event :( I was preoccupied getting my skin consultation from the lovely Jillian, and purchasing some Xmas pressies for my boyfriend and sister.  

There are three reasons I love Kiehl's: 1) The staff are always so helpful and friendly 2) The products are amazing and 3) They always give you loads of samples of their amazing products! :D

And at this event they delivered this and more! Even as I write this blog I have already tried 5 of their samples (review coming soon) and enjoying the lovely scent of the Patchouli and Fresh Rose Body Lotion! 

As, I said I did do some Xmas shopping at the event, but I also couldn't not indulge in a product for myself (with the 20% off!) So, I did! I've tried this amazing treatment before, and put off buying it as it is pretty pricey. But as the event was on, I thought why not!! :P 

And I used it last night and it truly is wonderful. My skin this morning feels really pampered! 

After, the event, Allie and I went on a little adventure around London. We went to M&M world (which I had never been to), Hamley's and Liberty. 

I had an amazing evening, and again thank you to those mentioned for making it happen!

I hope you enjoyed this post and have a lovely day!

London Haul!

Hey Everyone,

This is going to be my first haul post! So, I don't do big shopping hauls very often - I normally accumulate lots of things over a period of time! (Poor student!) But as I was in London, I thought "Why not?" :P

Here we go - first stop was MAC :)

I love MAC products - and these three products have been on my MAC wishlist for a long time! Firstly, I bought Pro Long wear Foundation (NC15), I've never owned this before but I had tried it many times (from my sister!) I also bought two pan eyeshadows - Carbon and Sketch.







Next stop was Space NK, another shop I'm obsessed with :P There are so many things I want to try out, but when I saw they stocked the Glam Glow Youth mud Treatment - I had to get it! This has been talked about a lot on the internet and I caved! A full review will be posted soon on this!



















Also made a stop at Muji where I bought two of their tinned candles! Winter berry and Black tea, and Cinnamon and Mandarin -  both to me are awesome winter scents! I also bought a small notebook - for blog writing purposes :P










Finally, in a moment of weakness at the train station, I stopped at Lush. I had planned to wait until I got home to purchase these, but I bought some Xmas presents and decided I'd get something for myself too. I got the Melting Snowman Bath Melt (which I had last year and loved it!!) and the new Santa's Lip scrub which smells amazing!



I hope you enjoyed this post and have a lovely day!

Trip to London!!

Hey Everyone,

I hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend :)! So, as you can tell from the title of this post I went to London yesterday! I love London (especially the shopping!) and I just wanted to share my trip with you :)

I had a very early start so I could catch my train, which left at 7:49 a.m.! But I had enough time to take a quick picture of my outfit and make up.
Firstly, I'm wearing my leather jacket from River Island (which I mentioned in my Investment series), Top Shop cardigan and Snood from French Connection. My top and jeans are also from Top Shop (Leigh jeans). Finally, my boots are from Levis.
I curled my hair with my curl formers, which I slept in over night :)!
My make up I kept pretty simple and won't go into too much detail. I'll just say what is on my eyes: Kiko Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow in 06 and I used Urban decays Dark horse eyeshadow (from the original Naked Palette) in the crease. Then, as usual, I draw my cat flick with Stila stay all day waterproof liquid liner in intense black. Finally, for mascara, I layered two to make them extra full and long lasting. Using Clinique's high impact mascara in black and over the top of that I used Maybelline's the Rocket Volume Express mascara in waterproof.

After, shopping (haul coming up!) we went to Belgos in Covent Garden for lunch! I love muscles, and I had with chips and a peach flavoured beer! 

The show was amazing! Jude Law was good live - very surreal seeing such a famous actor in the flesh! (:P). 

Overall, I had a wonderful day and I am so grateful to my parents for taking my sister and I!

I hope you enjoyed the post and have a lovely day!
