Haul

hey guys,
so recently I have been shopping with my friends Zoe and Liv and I brought lots of presents but I can't show you them. I did buy somethings for myself which I can show you.

Simple anti-blemish spotless skin moisturiser- £3.30
I saw this on the shelf in tesco's and because it was 3 for 2 I brought 3 things, this included. I have used it a few times and I had results from day one, which is amazing because usually I have to use products for a week or two before it starts to work. This is a moisturiser which helps get rid of blemishes or spots and I highly recommend it


Simple spotless skin quick fix cleansing wipes- £2.80
This is another product under the 3 for 2 offer. This was £2.80 which is very good seeing as from boots it is £3.85! I haven't used these yet but when I do I will do a review. This removes your makeup whilst helping to remove blemishes and spots. It also cleanses your skin. 


Simple kind to skin purifying cleansing lotion- £2.99
This is yet another product I got on offer from Tesco. I haven't used this either. This, as it says, is a cleansing lotion but can be used on dry skin instead of wet skin which can be useful if you are in a rush and just want to wash your face. 



Boots natural collection wild strawberry body spray- £2.00
Even though this is from boots' own collection it is incredibly nicely scented. It's very cheap because you get 150ml. The scent stays on for a good few hours and can be carried around. I would recommend this because I love the smell but there are other scents available.



Thank you for reading, it would be lovely if you could follow:) I've also added a giveaway tab to my blog that is easy to find and enter my simple giveaway, which is still open!

Half-term

Heyy guys,
so it's now half term:D which means no more school for a week:D
But sometimes in the holidays we don't know what to do. This could be because it is raining or you just can't find anything to do. Here's a list of things you could do:

  1. See your family. This could mean you would have to get your mum and dad to come or just catch the bus or walk to a relatives house.
  2. See your friends. Maybe arrange to meet in town or invite them round to your house for a sleepover.
  3. Paint your nails whilst maybe watching your favourite film.
  4. Create a blog, it's a great way to pass time and to write about what you want to.
  5. Tidy/ rearrange/ decorate your room. If your rooms a mess just spend 10-20 mins tidying it or move some things around. Maybe even pop to a shop get some decorations and put them round your room, maybe Halloween, Christmas or just a nice all year decoration.
  6. Read a book, i know it sounds boring but if you get into it you won't regret it. If you haven't read the harry potter series I suggest you read them.
  7. Be creative, maybe start a hobby or a club. 
  8. Go Christmas shopping, either online or go to your local town.:D

Thank you for reading I hope I have given you a few ideas, if you have any more comment what they are.

So today I can home and I had 2 parcels/letters and I knew what one of them was and it's more simple products I ordered:D It was buy one get one free on the superdrug website on certain simple products. It was also free delivery on the superdrug website:D



These are the two products I  brought. 
1) Simple Deep Cleansing Facial Mask- £3.99
2) Simple Kind to Skin Vitamin Foaming Cleanser- £4.49
I will do a review on both of these soon but I haven't used them yet. 

In the other package I got a Cherry Wallis wristband and a signed card from her:D If you don't know who Cherry Wallis is, she's a British you tuber who isn't as big as someone like Jack and Finn or Zoella but is such a good you tuber and I have met her at summer in the City 2013 and she has tweeted me 3 times now:D I recently ordered one of her wristbands which came with a a little card signed by Cherry.

Thankyou for reading, sorry its so short I haven't had loads of time but I will try and do a review for the simple products soon:D

So I didn't really have much time this weekend to write a post because I had a lot of homework to do on Saturday, then straight after I went to my friends party and slept round. At 2 on Sunday I had more rehearsals and then the show and when that finished I wasn't really in the mood to write a post. 
I will try and write a proper post for Thursday so if you have any ideas leave them in the comments. 
I would also like to mention my simple giveaway is still open and will be for quite a while as i have one entry so far:')so if you check that out that would be nice. And you can enter as well, its all free and I will only give the simple products away if I have over 6 entries:)
Also, thank you for over 500 views:D
As I said in my previous post my friend Izzy has started a blog too so it would be nice if you could go and read her posts.

Sorry, its short its only an update

Top 6- Nail Varnish

hey guys, 
I thought I'd share my top 6 nail varnishes with you today so here we go.
                                                        1. Beauty UK- Gobstopper- No.66
This nail varnish is extremely cheap (£1.99) but is absolutely amazing. I have had this on for about three months now and only had to apply it two, maybe three times. You don't  need to add an extra coat because it applies really easily but you can if you want to add a more bolder colour. It is a lovely light turquoise so doesn't stand out too much, which I like, and it is my favourite nail varnish I have.
This £3.69 nail varnish is especially good if you are in a rush and want to apply some colour to your nails. As you can see it only takes 60 seconds to dry and is such an easy applicator as sometimes you only need one brush because the applicator is a flat brush and is meant to take 1 second to apply!




3. Collection- Electric Dreams- 56
This is another 60 second dryer and it is only £1.99. It is a lovely shade of green. A deep turquoise. You might have to add two coats of this but it is definitely worth it. It's quite a bold, darkish colour but it doesn't stand out much.




This nail varnish is the same as number 2. It dries within 60 seconds, great applicator, only really need one coat. It's a nice, deep red. I don't really wear this on my fingers as much because it is quite bright but I don't mind as much in autumn!

                                                             5. Collection- Go retro- 58
This colour looks better in the picture than when its on because it comes out slightly lighter but it is still nice! It was £1.99 so such a good price and I don't mind if I have this on my finger nails or toe nails because it goes nicely on either.





6. Marks and Spencers- Pale Peach
Above is not the link to this nail varnish as I couldn't find it online but it is a nice colour as well. I love this peach colour and this is very nice for on your finger nails but sometimes a bit boring for your toe nails. It is probably quite cheap but I think I got this as a present so I can't remember. It's quite a good brush, not amazing, but you can just put two coats on and it looks amazing.


Thankyou for reading. Which one was your favourite, tell me in the comments:)

Summer In the City tickets

Heyy guy,
So this will be a very short post but like Zoe I was just so excited and really wanted to share this with you.

As you might know I went to Summer In the City 2013. On the first day I met up with my friend Darcy and on the second day I was with my dad. This is because you can't got the SitC on your own unless your 14+ and luckily next year I will be 14 so I get to go with my friends, Zoe, Liv and Laura. I am so excited because, if you didn't already know, SitC is a you tube convention so you get to meet you tubers, watch live shows, watch panels and just explore what else is on:D
On Friday 4th the first batch of tickets went on sale but there were only 1000 and because they were selling some batch tickets the website wasn't working very well so they sold out within 30 mins but another lot went on sale last Friday, this time there were 2000 so I got one quite quickly:D I am so excited to go to SitC 2014 :D
Also, I have a poll asking what post you like the most so it would be great if you could vote, it only takes a second or comment down below:)
It would be lovely if you could follow and I can then check out your blog:)
Again, sorry its so short,

Daily skin routine

hey guys, 
So, for a while now I have been doing a skin care routine which I do every morning and night. 



1. I will have a shower or a bath either in the morning or evening(whenever I have more time) and when I have a bath I put in simple bath cream which is also a bubble bath:)








2. I exfoliate my legs using exfoliating gloves which you can get anywhere but wilkinsons do them cheap. I use simple exfoliating body wash and sometimes sanctuary body wash.








3. If I don't have a shower or a bath then I will wash my face using this but otherwise, I then wash my face using simple facial wash. I also wash myself with dove soap or any showergel.







4. When I am dry and have dried my hair using Pantene heat defense spray I then use simple eye-roll on. This reduces puffiness and other things I don't quite remember.







5. I then use cotton wool pads(from superdrug or wilkinsons) to put on simple facial toner.








6. Finally, I put on simple moisturiser in circlular motions on my face.








So, that is my skin care routine that I do in the morning and evening. If you would like me to do any other routines comment. It would also mean the world to me if you could follow:)

September favourites


Heyy,
So September's gone and its now October. I have a few favourites from September so here we go,

Hazel hayes, aka 'Chewingsand' is an irish youtuber and occasionally on her channel she does a singing video. Recently she did a cover of Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball. She mixed it in with 'Set Fire to the rain' by Adele and its just such a good mix, so catchy and she's such a good singer. 








Another musical favourite from September is Conor Maynard's new song R U Crazy. This is such a catchy song and by far my favourite Conor Maynard song. 










I have quite a few favourite clothing items. First of all, from sanisbury's there is a pack of two leggins, and they're not thin and very comfy even though they're quite long.

Another clothing favourite are all the jumpers from my recent blog post, 'Primark Haul' so I wont drag on about those, you can just read my other post.




Next thing is from simple and is the facial toner. I have been loving this and it feels so relaxing on your skin, it seems to last for ages as well so I would go out and buy it or if you want to win the facial toner and the simple moisturiser, i did a post giving away those. it is still open but I will only give them away if I get 6 or more entries. 






The real techniques blush brush, is my favourite brush I own. It is £9.99 but very good. I got this at the beginning of September and I love it.




                                                                                                                                                                                                

Finally, Miss Sporty BB cream. this is £3.49 but I got it for £2.49 because it was on offer. It smells amazing and is quite runny but really nice coverage.









So, they are all my favourites from september, what was your favourite thing from last month?

Primark haul

So I went to Primark and got some jumpers so I thought I'd show you:)

The first one I got isn't really warm but its more for relaxing at home or if its not too cold outside. It was £8 and it also came in black and I think red but I prefered the white one.
It has a sort of floral pattern

 Next, I brought two of the same jumpers but in different colours, one is lavender and one is dark blue. They are quite warm but not incredibly fluffy but still warm. They were £8 each and have a knitted texture/pattern.

Left: Lavender   Right: Dark blue




Then, I got a cardigan. I don't usually wear cardigans but I'm trying something new. Its a light cream colour and is thin but soft. I accidently brought this in a size 16 and I'm a size 6 but it would fit anyone to be honest because it can be quite loose fitting.  




I then got a jumper I had before but I lost and because I had washed it loads (it was quite old) it had lost the warmth a bit so I brought a lovely new one:)



Thankyou for reading, it would be lovely if you could follow(:
