You guys have to eat here!!!

This is going to be a slightly different post, away from the norm of beauty related writing, I'm going to write a little review on one of my favourite places to eat; Turtle Bay. 

This restaurant is very special to me for a lot of reasons, relating to a relationship. But above the memories it holds, the restaurant itself is fantastic. 

This is a Caribbean restaurant which offers the whole experience the minute you walk in the door. The authentic decor, give a great party ambience, one to share with friends, family or a special date. they have a shack that usually holds to the ever so popular 2-4-1 cocktails, which (from experience) are brilliant, they're so original and very alcoholic and refreshing. 

The food however, is on another level. This being a Caribbean restaurant, offers Caribbean food all the way from curried goat, to bbq pulled pork buns, racks of ribs, and deep fried bait. Its just amazing!! The food is so full of flavour, and so incredibly spicy, (if you're like me and don't do well with hot food, definitely order a jug, or two, of ice cold water) and the portion size leaves little room for pudding... which are also exquisite. 

Everything about this restaurant is just a big yes! And i hope that eventually they open more, and one nearer to me. If you get a chance to go.. do! Visit and let me know what you think!

Favourite Drugstore Mascara

Hey guys, sorry I haven't blogged much lately, but Ive been busy sorting a post graduate placement, which has taken up quite a lot of my time. 

This post is about my favourite drugstore mascara, which I actually think, is my all time favourite mascara. Its the Barry M Lash Vegas mascara and it is incredible. I use this almost daily, even when I am going out at night. Its amazing, it is long lasting, it doesn't budge or fall down under the eyes throughout the day! 

This mascara not only lengthens, but adds volumes and thickens the lashes, it gives them a dramatic curl too. It almost looks like you have falsies on! 

I really can't rave about this mascara enough! I would recommend this to anyone, especially those that don't like shelling out a lot of money on mascara... like I don't. The Lash Vegas is only £6.99 from Boots or Superdrug and it'll last you for months!

Christmas mini blog #3 Silver lovin'

These next two items, technically weren't presents as I treat myself, it was more of a merry christmas to me from me kinda thing. 

Ive had a real thing about metallic and glitter this christmas, something about everything being so sparkly this time of year, so I made these two purchases in the christmas sales. 

The first is the Guerlain 'The Eye Pencil' in the shade 05 Amber Silver. This is just a gorgeous silver taupe colour, with the slightest sheen to it, it glides on so smoothly, is very blend able and has a creme feel to it, making it really soft and easy to work with. 

The second is the Mavala nail polish in the shade 213 Pure Diamond. I love this, its a true silver colour, with loads of little sparkles and crystals in, making it a lovely top coat to add some sparkle. This is also lovely on its own as its build able depending on how sparkly you want it. 

These are perfect for any party, and just in time for New Years too.

Christmas mini blog #2 Benefit

My next present was probably one of my favourites as it came as a total shock from a lady I work with, and this was the 'Benefit Goodies A Go-Go' set. 

I LOVE this, I literally can't stress how much I love it. This is a cute little set in the shape of a house, that in itself is a winner. This set has four gorgeous shades of eyeshadows, a 'Stay don't Stray Eye Primer' and  a 'They're Real Mascara'. This sett is literally perfect. Ive had the Primer and Mascara before so I know they are amazing, but I've never tried Benefits eyeshadow before so I am excited to time them a go. I love the colours, and one in particular the 'Kiss me I'm typsy' is a deep purple-brown, looks amazing, definitely think this will be right up my street. 

This is the perfect gift to give any makeup lover of any age.

Christmas mini blog #1 Cath Kidston

One of the cutest gifts I received, was the Button rose Cath Kidston brush set. I haven't had chance to try this yet, so I'm not to sure on the brush quality. But I love the packaging, and the variety of brushes you get in this. This I believe was the summer edition, but I know you can get different variations of this from their range. 

This is in a cute roll wrap bag, with three sections, two for brushes, and one for extra bits of make up. It has the cutest pink pattern on with little roses, and is the perfect size to throw in a suitcase or travel bag. The brushes range from eyeshadow and blending brushes to powder and blush brushes, its a good range for the price. 

I love it so much, and I can't wait to try the brushes.

Christmas Present Mini Series

Hey guys, Ive been away for a while, but a lot has happened in the last couple of months, so I have been super busy. 

Ive decided to start blogging again, and to get me back in the swing of things I'm going to do a mini series of blogs featuring some of the gifts I received for christmas. Ive thought of this idea as a fun way to blog, and to share gift ideas for yourself or for others, also for bit of fun. 

Each blog will be a small post with some pictures, and reviews on whether Ive tried them out, or disliked a item or fallen madly in love. 

I hope that some of you find it interesting and it gives you a little inspiration to go and treat yourself.

Current Drugstore Foundation Favourites

I always find it hard to find a foundation that I like and matches my skin tone. 

I hate testing in store, I find it cringey, and very messy to open up the little testing pots, which always seem to be covered in crap. 

However, recently I have been catching up on some beauty bloggers, and really 'stealing' ideas from them on which foundations to try on etc, mainly focusing on those who have the same skin tone as me, so I can just buy their shade. Risky I know, but luckily for me its paid off!

The two that I have been loving are both Rimmel, and both amazing!

The first is the Match Perfection, one I feel you will have all heard of. I love this, its so dewy and light. It leaves your skin looking so radiant and healthy without making your skin look cakey. 

The colour range for this is pretty good, as there is a few too choose from if you're of a light to medium skin tone. I wouldn't recommend this for oily skin, as I feel it would just slide off and make your face look shinier than you want. 

This foundation is so build-able and a great affordable price of £6.99.

The next is Rimmel's newest foundation; the Lasting Finish 25 hour. I love this, I have only used it once, but I can already tell it will be a staple in my make-up bag. 

This is a full coverage foundation, that does stay on for quite a long time, even through exercise. I love that this is skin perfecting, balancing out any imperfections and again it leaves your face really glowing and looking healthy. 

This is priced at £7.99, a great price for a new product, and a little bit really does go a long way!

I would 100% recommend this this new product out, if you're on the look for a new foundation.

What's your current foundation fave?
