The Rainbow Beauty Tag


Sorry that I haven't posted in a while, but I have been so busy lately! So today's post is a new beauty tag called #TheRainbowTag. Where you use colours from the rainbow and say your favourite beauty product of that colour. Now as I was choosing products, I realized I don't have anything that is Indigo, so I replaced Indigo with purple.


So the first colour is RED. I chose my BaByliss Curling Wand. This is really easy to use and it's quite cheap. I like it because you can use it to do loose curls, or tight. Also, you can change the temperature of the wand. The only bad thing is that it doesn't have a clamp, so you do have to hold your hair.



 Next is YELLOW, I picked my L'OREAL paris, ELVIVE- Repairing Shampoo. I purchased this about a month ago, and I've used it every time I washed my hair since. It's amazing and smells gorgeous. It leaves your hair feeling soft and I like it because it doesn't leave your hair knotty.

 So for PINK, I couldn't choose between these two Lush products. But as I love them both, I have added them both. They are the Lush Bubblegum flavoured Lip Scrub, and The Melting Marshmallow Moment bath bomb. Now they smell amazing, the nicest things I've ever smelt! So basically you rub the lip scrub on your lips and it leaves them really soft and then my favourite bit, you can lick the rest of your lips because it's sugar. The bath bomb smells exactly the same, and it just looks like a big marshmallow, and it turns the bath pink. If you haven't tried them, then you should.


For GREEN, I picked the BarryM Nail Paint in shade 304- Mint Green. I adore this colour because it's great for summer. You do have to put a few coats of it on to get the full colour, but it's lovely and looks so nice when you have a tan!


So for ORANGE, I picked my Rimmel London Scandaleyes Mascara in Black. This mascara is really good because the brush is so big. It gives my eyes good definition and it lasts for ages. I have re-purchased this 3 times now.

 For PURPLE, I have two products because I couldn't chose. So I picked TRESemme Superior Hold Hairspray. This is a great hairspray and doesn't leave my hair crispy. But the best thing about it is the smell, it's the nicest smelling hairspray ever, it's just gorgeous.

I also got stuck picking for BLUE, so I have two of these as well. I have one of  Topshop's Nail Varnish's in the shade 'AirKisses.' I wrote about this in my Topshop haul which you should check out because I gave a review about it. The colour is so bright and looks great. And I wore it for a whole week without it chipping! The scond BLUE product is the Jack Wills, Ladies Luxury Body Wash in English Velvet. This smells so nice, and it's nearly all gone now:( It isn't too dear and it's just lovely.

The last product is the RAINBOW coloured product. I have chosen one of  The Body Shop's body washes. I got the Love Etc. one and it smells delightful, girly and floral but now over powering. I put it in the Rainbow colour because it has loads of upside hearts in different colours all over it. I only got the tester size which is small and only 60ml, but I take it with me when I go travelling and it's great, I would definitely go and get a bigger one.


So that is my Rainbow Beauty Tag complete. I hope you enjoyed reading about some of my favourite products. If you have done this tag comment below, or just leave your opinion below. Thanks

Primark Holiday Haul! Part 1 For Portugal

So if you haven't guessed yet, this is my Primark Holiday Haul. So this is what I have bought over my last 2 trips to Primark for my holiday in a couple of weeks time. By all means, i'm NOT trying to brag, I just thought i'd let you know what I have bought because Primark isn't available online, so by people like myself showing you some clothes and accessories, you might spot something you like, also Primark is fairly cheap it's not like i'm doing a haul about loads of stuff from *insert dear high end clothes hop*, haha. Enjoy.
So I was a little naughty.
If you haven't figured out yet, I have a slight obsession with aztec print. So the first thing I purchased was this nude and black coloured aztec print bikini. It's from the Ocean Club section in Primark, which is basically all the holiday stuff. It was only £4 and I think it's just cute.
 Next thing I bought are these red and white wedged flip-flops. I really wanted the navy blue and white ones but the past three times I've been there, they haven't had my size so I just got the red ones. I just quite fancied ones with a bit of a wedge and they were only £3. Also, they're really comfy.
This dress, is probably one of my favourite summer buys. As some of you may know, I'm not usually a dress person but I really liked it. I have seen quite a few people with these dresses on and they just look so nice. Its a stretchy bodycon dress that goes just past the knees, it's tight but stretchy and it shows your figure nicely. I got in a nude and blue/grey aztec print. I think on holiday, I could wear it in the day time or dress it up at night. This type of dress is available in loads of shops but the main reason I bought it off Primark, is that I liked the pattern and it was only £10, which is really good because the quality is good for that price.

I then and purchased two loose fitting crop tops. Mainly because they are nice to just throw over a bikini on holiday, but also, in the summer I like to wear them with high waisted shorts. I got a plain khaki army coloured one that was only £3. Then I picked up a Disney Mickey Mouse one, which has a grey background with Mickey & Minnie mouse all over it, that was £6 but it is really cute and I can't wait to wear it.

I got these shorts. I got them in grey and burgundy. They were £3 each and are really good value. I would just wear them in the day time on holiday and sometimes I just wear shorts like this around the house because they are really comfy. If you haven't got a pair of these then seriously you should try them.

I also just picked up some footless sock things. I'm not too sure what you call them, but I like to wear them with vans because it still looks like your not wearing socks, but it saves you getting blisters. I got 2 pairs for £1.30.



The second to last thing I picked up, was these sunglasses. Last year, I bought these but in brown and I constantly wore them, so when I saw them back in stock then I went and got another pair. They are great because they block the sun (obviously) and you can still see through them easily. They are only £2, which is a great bargain.

So the last thing I purchased was the white/beige and black aztec print bag. Obviously because I needed a bag, then I had to choose the aztec one. I was looking for quite a big-ish bag because I wanted to use it as an 'aeroplane bag' to use for my upcoming holidays. So when I saw this, with it's lovely print I had to have it. It has a long strap so you can wear it on your shoulder and short straps to wear it on your arms. It was only £10 and it is just perfect and is exactly what I was looking for. So when you see my blog about my holiday, you'll bound to see a picture of it because I know that I will get a lot of use out of it.

A Day To Remember

Teenie Weenie post today. Today was one of those special days that you just know, in 5 years time, you will look back at that day and think "That was such a good day" and smile to yourself about that little memory.
I went on a business trip to Chester Zoo, which isn't that far from where I live and I went with some of my closest friends and we basically just had an amazing time.
Most people will be like 'oh a boring zoo'. Not for us, we made it so much fun.

We also made a vlog and popped it on my YouTube channel, so please check that out! the link will be at the bottom of the blog. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZoetPzOxDw


This is Me, Megan and Becca and we had to stop to get a quick picture with the plastic monkey.. Who wouldn't?
This monkey wasn't special, but we were waiting to go in to a business conference and it was there, so we couldn't help ourselves.






So this is one of my bestest bestest friends.. Megan, she's like my twin and we always know how to make eachother laugh. She's the kind of friend you can just look at, and you'll think the same thing as and then laugh. It's her birthday tomorrow, so Happy Birthday to her ! x

Hannah, Haf, Becca, Megan and Me. We thought to get a nice picture in the lovely sunny weather by the Cuban flamingos. So if you are wondering what is in the background, they're flamingos.

We had such a great day so if you are interested please have a look at our vlog that is linked below.




Please check our Vlog out.. Much appreciated.
