Whats In My Travel Backpack

Hello everyone, I am going on holiday tomorrow (Monday 11th August) so I thought I would show you what I am taking in my travel bag for the journey. I'm only going to Devon for five days to see family but I'm really excited! We are travelling down in the car and it usually takes around 4 hours including service stops.

The Backpack I am using is my Cath Kidston one, its my favorite and I prefer backpacks than shoulder bags because they are easier to carry and can fit a lot in. This was £14 on sale in the Christmas sale.

So the first thing in my bag is my iPad, i always take my iPad and headphones as they are essential and keep me occupied on the journey and I watch films or listen to music.I also have this Ipad case that was from Cath Kidston, it keeps it extra protected. My headphones are mint green ones from Primark!

I am also taking my Will Grayson,Will Grayson book by John Green.Again this is something to pass the time but sometimes when I read I get travel sickness unless i'm in a plane but I still take it just in case.

I also like to take a notebook to write stuff down or too even play hangman or something if we get really bored! This one I got for Christmas and its from Marks and Spencers.

Since its quite a long journey in the car I like to take a bit of makeup with me just so when I get there I don't look too terrible! I usually take my Wake Me Up foundation, my scandal eyes mascara and my Cherry Me baby lips.

Finally I take my purse, which I am sure everyone does! I usually just put a bit of money for the services in this purse I don't put my actual holiday money in here because I like it to be separate (yes, I'm a bit weird).Me and my cousin always get an Iced Lemonade from Costa when we go to the services so I usually just get one of those as they are Amazing! 

I also take snacks and a bottle of Pepsi Max or water or something but I haven't got them yet so couldn't show you but its more than likely that i will get a pack of Hula Hoops, a dairy milk and a pack of Haribo sour cherries!

Hope you enjoyed this blog post!

Avon Haul

Hello everyone, so today i'm going to show you what I brought from Avon, last week I ordered some things from the avon catalogue and I thought I would show you all! I have never done a haul before so hopefully it turns out okay! 

Avon Purchases

Violet Freeze-ColourTrend Nail Polish

So the first thing I bought was this nail polish and it's definitely darker than I expected, in the catalogue the colour looked more pastel blue however its purple when applied.I still really like the colour and it was 2 for £4 so for £2 its ok but it is quite a small bottle.

 Vixen-ColourTrend Nail Polish

So i also got this colour which is a pinky/burgundy colour which was £2, originally it was £3.50 and i don't think i would pay that much for this nail polish just because of the size but the colour is really nice.

Nail Experts-Pearl Shine

I got way too many nail polishes but this one was £3.00 and it's so pretty, it looks really nice with a french manicure (how it was modelled in brochure) again it is a brighter colour than i expected but it still a nice pink colour.It dries quite fast but chips easily.

Nail Experts-Liquid Freeze

This is the best thing ever, for me when i paint my nails they always end up smudging because i get bored of waiting for them to dry, so when i saw this i immediately wanted it.Once you have painted your nails you spray this on it and it freezes the nail polish, drying it faster so they are literally dry in a minute! This was £5 and i would definitely recommend this!

Supershock-Gel Eyeliner

So i have one L'oreal liquid liner but i find it hard to apply and it has glitter so i bought this one and its soo much easier! It looks like a pencil eyeliner but it is obviously gel and i really like it . This was £3.95 and i think its a good price for gel eyeliner!

Perfect and Hide Concealer-Colourtrend

So again this was in an offer 2 for £4 so i got this as originally it was £3, i own one liquid concealer but i find it too oily so i got this one and it looks like a lipstick and it does a good job covering up redness, spots and dark circles !

Magic Lift Mascara-Colourtrend

To go with the concealer i got this mascara, originally £4 and i got it for £2, it has a thin brush and i love it as it it doesnt have lumps when applying.It makes your eyelashes look more natural as it doesn't have too much mascara on the brush so it applies thin layers.Also it doesn't clump your lashes together.

Romance-Nailwear pro+

                                                    

Platinum Ice-Supershock Vivid Gel Eyeshadow

                                  

So the above two items i got for free along with a pink makeup bag as I spent over £10.The nail polish is a nice colour ( you choose out of 4 colours) but my mom is having it as it is not my kind of colour.I have never tried liquid eyeshadow but it looks better than I expected, I got it in Platinum Ice which is a glittery, silver colour and looks quite nice.They are good free products!

I hope you enjoyed my first haul, comment some requests of blog posts you want me to do and comment if you would like me to do another again soon!

Q&A

Hi guys so i asked on my Instagram for people to ask me some questions so here are my answers:

When did you start your Instagram?
- I started my themed Instagram account about a year ago but it wasn't good and I didn't like it so in October I changed the name and retook the pictures and I started to gain more followers around that time.

What is your diet and fitness routine?
-I don’t really have a fitness routine but I usually play badminton in the back garden or I go on the trampoline nearly every day, I have also started to take my dog a walk more frequently and I enjoy dancing too. When I was at school I had a more structured diet routine but since being off I don’t eat until about 11am/12pm in the morning then I snack in between and the eat dinner around 6pm/7pm.

Favourite sweet?
- Personally I don’t really eat sweets often (as I prefer chocolate) but I do like rainbow drops and tangfastics and the liquorice red stick things with the white bit in the middle ( I have no idea what they are called!)

If you could give somebody starting out on Instagram one piece of advice what would it be?
-I would probably say if you’re starting a themed account to be original, to not copy exactly certain peoples account. If you like your pictures upload them, don’t worry about what people think it is YOUR account! Also make sure you enjoy going on your account and you like it because if you don’t like it or you’re not enjoying it than it’s pointless.

What are in your opinion the pros and cons of Instagram?
-For the pros I would say that for me I have never had any problems with anyone before on Instagram but on fb or twitter there was always problems and I find it nicer because it’s just sharing photos instead of opinions. Also people are more positive and lovely on Instagram. The cons I would say are that people can get jealous more easily especially with themed Instagram because they are pictures of peoples possessions so if you get something that is seen as expensive etc. than people can get jealous in a negative way.

Favourite hairstyle on yourself?
-It depends more on whether my hair is curly or straight, when it is curly I like to have it half up and half down (but not showing my ears) with a ribbon in the back. When it is straight I like to have it split down the middle and put back into twirls either side of my head.

Favourite celeb?
-I don’t have one that I obsess over but I love Ariana Grande and The Vamps but I also love Zoella (from YouTube)!

Have you ever met a celebrity?

-No i haven’t ever met a celebrity.

Favourite Instagram account?
-I don’t have one particular account that is my favourite but all the accounts I follow I love!

Thank you for the questions and hope you enjoyed reading this blog post!x

Review

Wake Me Up Foundation

The other week I brought the Rimmel London Wake Me Up foundation, i thought i would do a quick review on the the product, incase anyone wanted to purchase it or was wondering what it was like.

Rimmel London
Wake Me Up Foundation
Shade:True Ivory 

In no way am i telling you to buy it now or saying that every single person will think its amazing but personally i think it is worth the money.

I was quite lucky to get this foundation whilst it was on sale for £4.99 instead of £8.99, I know the original price is a lot of money for foundation for certain people which is understandable, however if you are willing to spend a bit of money on foundation i would most definitely recommend this product.The foundation when applying has good coverage and it smells pleasant ( i hate foundation that smell funny). The shade i purchased was True Ivory which in the bottle looks a bit darker but once on my skin blends and looks very natural.I would make sure you test (using a tester) the shade on your skin as sometimes it shows up a different colour on your hand, as your face is a different tone then your hand.I really love this foundation as i dont even need to wear powder foundation which is a bonus as it saves a bit of money. Overall i would definitely buy this product again as it is one of the best foundations i have ever tried and i really recommend it. I would just like to point out that i have never tried the more high end make up products like Mac and Benefit because personally i prefer to buy clothes than makeup so i try to spend as little as possible, so obviously the more expensive the most likely to be better but i still would say if your looking for a good foundation and you don't mind the cost, Rimmel London's Wake Me Up Foundation is worth it.


If you disagree with this review than thats is fine, everyone has an opinion and everyone hasn't got the same opinions but i hoped this helped some people if they were looking to purchase this but were unsure or if some were looking to try a new foundation.This is my honest opinion and i hope you guys liked it !
