£500 Boots Haul*

November 30, 2018 by Lauren

I’ve been meaning to do this blog post since about May but life has a habit of getting in the way. My life has been crazy busy recently since I finished University, went scuba diving for six weeks, got a new boyfriend and started applying for my dream jobs.

Disclaimer: Boots kindly sent me £500 worth of points to spend on treats so I didn’t purchase these items myself but I am under no obligation to post about any of these items. I am very grateful to Boots and loved spending the points on treats for myself.

Without further ado, enjoy! This is a long blog post so get comfy, snuggle up and grab a hot drink!

Christmas Gift Guide – For Him and Her – Under £100

November 23, 2018 by Lauren

Hello everybody,

How are you guys doing? I’m feeling very festive today writing this Christmas gift guide and looking for the perfect gifts for under £100. I do one of these every year and they’re one of my favourite blog posts to research and write up. Not only is this a great blog post to give you guys gift ideas but I usually send it to friends and family as hints for what I want. This year I’m lucky enough to have a boyfriend – it’s been a while due to focusing on my degree but I’m so excited – Lee if you’re reading this then HINT HINT.

Anyway, without any more ramblings here if my gift guide. I’ve done gift ideas for him and for her. This is in no particular order but all gifts are under £100. Christmas can get expensive but I’ve got your backs with the perfect yet affordable treats – maybe some of these will even make the perfect treat to yourself. It can’t just be me who buys myself Christmas gifts…?

American Beauty Haul // Haul + Review

November 23, 2018 by Lauren

Recently I went on an amazing trip to New York which you will know if you saw my most recent blog post or if you follow me on social media. I loved it, I’ve been twice before so I’ve done all of the tourist stuff so instead, I went around finding the Instagram spots, foodie hits and shops! Of course, I did some shopping in New York – what girl wouldn’t?

My top picks – Advent Calendars

November 2, 2018 by Lauren

Every year, I love seeing the latest advent calendars and choosing which one I’m going to treat myself to. I still have a different chocolate advent calendar each year but I love having a beauty one too now I’m older.

Spanish Beauty Haul

October 12, 2018 by Lauren

Being the beauty obsessive that I am, whenever I go to a new country I love taking a peek at the different skincare and makeup bits on offer. Different countries have different products and styles that I love experimenting with and testing out. In a matter of weeks, I’ll be in New York browsing the American drug stores for their latest fall makeup and skincare launches. How exciting!

For now, though I’m on a little Spanish island called Menorca. I can’t believe that I’ve never purchased any Spanish makeup or skincare items… before now that is!

Dior Makeover

August 17, 2018 by Lauren

I don’t know how I’ve been blogging for four years and loving makeup since I was around 13 years old and I’ve never EVER tried Dior makeup?! Dior is a brand that I’ve always loved and adored yet I’ve never actually purchased or tried anything from Dior.

Recently I won £500 to spend in Boots (haul coming soon) thanks to an Instagram competition which is pretty exciting. I LOVE beauty as you can tell from my blog. When I found out that I had won £500 I couldn’t wait to get spending it on luxurious treats that have been on my wishlist!

Empties 2018 *

August 3, 2018 by Lauren

I haven’t done an empties blog post in a long time and recently there’s been a few products that I’ve been both loving and hating. I thought you might like to see what I’ve been using up and loving and/or hating recently!

I move back home in a matter of weeks and then I’m off to mermaid school for six weeks so I’m trying to use up products and save moving them home with possible spillage… It’s happened before eek!

LOC eyeshadow sticks duo review

June 29, 2018 by Lauren

Hey Guys,

Recently I ordered my first ever Birchbox and as it was my first one they kindly sent me a gift. I got the option to receive a FREE eyeshadow stick duo so obviously, I accepted. I’ve never heard of or tried anything from LOC. They’re a new brand to me but one that I now love and will be hunting down to hit up more.

BIRCHBOX June Haul + Review

June 22, 2018 by Lauren

Hey Guys,

I love Birchbox and they’re a company that I one day aspire to be a Digital Marketer for. They seem like such a fun, creative, inspiring and modern company whom I would love to be a part of. Not only are they a really cool company but of course their monthly boxes are amazing! They’re such an affordable monthly box of beauty treats for us beauty addicts.

Birchbox offers such an easy service.

C.Y.O. Review

June 8, 2018 by Lauren

Hey Guys,

Last week I popped into boots to pick up my favorite liquid eyeliner which is the Soap and Glory Super Cat liner. Realistically I NEVER come out of Boots with just one item. I always get distracted and spend more than expected… don’t we all?!

I spotted a new makeup brand in boots that I’ve never seen before! I decided to purchase a few bits which looked interesting and review the brand for you guys!
