TOP 3 FAVOURITE EYELINERS


I used to be one of those people who just couldn't leave the house without winged eyeliner on. After a good 4/5 years of wearing it everyday, I've tried and tested my fair share of eyeliners. So for you eyeliner lovers, or maybe you're just starting out, I thought I'd recommend my 3 favourite eyeliners, at a variation of prices. 
If you're a newbie eyeliner user/wearer, then I'd definitely recommend the 'Magic Liner' in the shade engraved by Topshop, it's got a very thin felt tip and is brilliant for creating a thin line, (so perfect if you make any mistakes!) this is £6.50 and you can buy it here.
For a medium/thick and vivid black line, I'd definitely recommend the 'Master Precise' Liquid Eyeliner by Maybelline in the shade... you guessed it, black. This is my favourite out of all the eyeliners and I'd definitely recommend this to anyone, whether you're new to using eyeliner or not, it's a brilliant felt tip liquid liner, this is £5.99 and you can get it here.
Finally, the most expensive of the three, is the Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner, I must admit, if you're not quite a dab hand at eyeliner, then this probably isn't the one for you, the felt tip is (quite) thick and is definitely not the easiest to use. I definitely prefer to use this eyeliner if I'm going anywhere special, with it being a high end product, priced at £12, it feels a little bit more special to wear. Does anyone else feel the same when they're wearing high end products? You can purchase the Eyeko liner here from Asos!

So there we have my 3 favourite eyeliners! I hope this helped anyone who's thinking of purchasing an eyeliner any time soon.

BY TERRY OMBRE BLACKSTAR: BRONZE MOON





If you're like me and you love a good bronze/brown eyeshadow but you don't want to spend AGES on your eye make up then the By Terry Ombre Blackstar eyeshadow sticks are definitely for you. My personal favourite is in the shade 'bronze moon' I've swatched it on the second photo, the first is without blending, whilst the second swatch is blended. The shadow sticks are a real life saver when you're in a rush but still want to make a bit of an effort with your eye make up, the colour pay off is incredible and it's very long lasting, as it doesn't smudge or budge at all once you've applied it. the only slight downside is that this does mean you've got to be quick with your blending as it does set pretty fast, so you've got to be a dab hand with your blending! I'm not going to lie, the price tag of these shadow sticks are quite phenomenal... £29 each! For a little bit extra you could purchase a high end eyeshadow palette, however, I can see this being an item that will be in my make up bag for a very long time and the shade range is brilliant.

Have you tried any of the By Terry shadow sticks before? What's your favourite shade?

SHOEAHOLICS: KURT GEIGER/CARVELA


If you've never heard of the site 'Shoeaholics' it's definitely one to keep an eye on. After hearing about this site on a student website I've been absolutely hooked on checking it out ever since. The site is run by Kurt Geiger and it is where they sell all their old season stock at amazing prices. The prices start at as little as £9! You can get some real bargains if you catch things early. I've purchased many things off this site, from handbags, to heels, to sandals and flats! The prices are just incredible. I got both of these pairs at just £19 each, not to mention the extra 20% student discount they offer! It is definitely a site to look out for, for bargains and somewhere to look before you pay full price for something. The best thing about the site is that not only do they sell Kurt Geiger, Carvela and Miss KG, they have an array of brands from UGG, to Michael Kors, Burberry, Hugo Boss and much much more. The only downside is that postage and packaging starts at £5, but for the bargains you get it's really worth it!

Have you purchased from this site before? What bargains did you get? I just love it!

WANDERING AROUND A BOOK SHOP


If you're like me and you love reading, then you'll know there's nothing quite like a stroll around a book shop. Wall after wall of books and not to mention the perfect stationery. It really is a book lover and stationary addict's paradise. On a recent trip to Waterstones I snapped these photos and thought I'd share them with you, as if you're anything like me, then these photos will fill your eyes with delight!
