Afternoon Adventure | Day Trip to Arran

In my never ending quest to travel to new places, last week I decided to venture to off the Scottish mainland to Isle of Arran. Only a short train ride and ferry across from Glasgow, Arran is surprisingly easy (and cheap) to get to. With only an afternoon on the Island,  We decided to stay in the immediate area to the ferry port, and everything we visited was easily in walking distance. For such a small Island, there is a surprising amount to do. From the beautiful Brodrick Castle to Arran Heritage museum, there is something for most ages on the Isle, and not to mention lots of goodies to be picked up on the way at the Arran Brewery, Arran Aromatics and Arran Cheese Shop! If you find yourself with a free day in the Glasgow area, I would defiantly recommend heading out to the stunning Island, sometimes you just need to get out of the city!

Have you visited any of the Scottish Islands?

Maybelline Colour Sensational lipstick | 'Hot Plum' | 906

"WHY AM I NOT CARRIE BRADSHAW!?"

'Hot Plum' | 906 | Maybelline New York

Swatch | 'Hot Plum' lipstick

Bad light | Good lipstick :)

My Carrie inspired look

So in between vast amounts of uni work, i have been filling any spare minutes addicted to 'The Carrie Diaries".  I didn't think it would be all that good until I caught the young Miss Bradshaw wearing a jumper I own that!! It made me look at my current uni ensemble (leggings, baggy jumper, no make-up and scraped up hair) and think....what happened?! I LOVE dressing up, but over the past month I have had to make school my priority.....but with my thesis almost done and my last presentation a matter of days away... I can taste the freedom (and lipstick)!

I jumped into my make-up bag this morning and slapped on this colour sensation lipstick my Maybelline in shade 'Hot Plum' (No. 906). I bought it a few months back and still haven't had a chance to wear it out so what better day than today! 

During A/W I always head for reds, but hey, I've lost an hour of sleep so that mean S/S14 and pink lips right?!

The colour pay off was awesome and although it transferred off quite a bit, I just love the colour so much! perfect if you are feeling a little but 80's

What is your favourite Spring/Summer lip colour?

MUA Bronzer | Review & Swatches

"I'm too pale, I can't wear bronzer or i'll look like this....."

This was my motto/ fear for many years! A a pasty pale rose, struggling to find the right foundation that doesn't make you look too orange or pink can be a problem... so bronzer!? don't even go there...Until now!?

I always thought the key to finding the right bronzer would be to go for a better quality/ higher price tag! ohhh but how wrong I was. After years of spending a fortune on beautiful bronzers, using them once and realising I'm still too orange, I discovered this budget bronzer that are perfect for us pale gals!

MUA Bronzer | Shade 3

MUA Bronzer | Shade 3 | £1

The good thing about this products is the colour pay off.... in high quality bronzers, the colour tends to be more intense, and harder to blend! Now while this may be perfect if you are a bronzed goddess... in my case, less is defiantly more. In the summer, if you are a slightly darker, then just simply apply more... are for the cost of this MUA bronzer at only £1, you will not be left out of pocket!

B. Vibrant | Lip & Cheek Colour 099 'Alecia'

B. Vibrant Lip & Cheek Colour | 099 Alecia

B. Vibrant | 099 | £7.99

A wee beauty review for you today since my blog posts haven't been all that great recently due to the vast amount of Uni work I've had to do!

Being so Busy with school right now my make-up has been super simple, a dab of powder, blush, mascara and out the door but one full proof way to jazz up a simple days make up is defiantly a bright lip. It's simple, eye catching, and in my personal opinion looks awesome with just Mascara! 

So while in Superdrug, I was perusing the B. Cosmetics. I have used their skincare products in the past and been very impressed with the quality and the price so thought I would give their lipsticks a go. At the B. Cosmetics make-up stand I fell in love instantly with shade 099 'Alecia' a coral/pink/orange shade of the B.Vibrant Lip & Cheek Colour, not quite anything like I have already in my make-up collection. The application is smooth and very nourishing on the lips (so perfect for these chilly winter months) but needs blotting and quite a lot of touching up throughout the day. This stick doubles up as a cheek tint, it bends relatively well but, for me, this will be a lipstick product only.

This lip & Cheek colour is available from Superdrug at £7.99

Have you tried any other B. Cosmetic products??

What did you think of them?

That's All for now

New Year, So Far | Eggs, Pirates and Re Ombre

So

 I'm finally into my final ever semester at collage and it's terrifying! 

Work load is mounting and I can not believe that its February already... so I've not been up to much outside the library...

 but here it is

Re Ombre hair

Hamish & Andy | The Happy Hour

Pirate Mood Ring

Egg 'n' Spoon

Well I finally got round to re ombre my hair the other day, I was a bit worried about doing it myself and trying to get it to look lighter at the bottom but I'm super happy with how it turned out.

Next is my all time favourite men in the ENTIRE world... 

Hamish and Andy!!

For those who don't know these Australian comedians/DJs  I implore you to YouTube them 

AT ONCE

They make me giggle on a daily basis and these guys get me though this painfully long days in the library! 

(HINT don't listen to these guys in the silent sections of the library as you will be squealing with laughter)

Third is my beautiful new mood ring! I unfortunately lost my original 90's beauty on the streets of Glasgow but replaced it with this bad boy for only £1.49 at Glasgow's 'The Tall Ship'!!! 

And finally... February has brought easter chocolate!!!!! I have been gorging on every egg/bunny shaped treat but these Egg 'n' Spoon chocolates are amazing, at £4 they will have to be a special treat! I hate being on a student budget!

How is your Jan/Feb going??

Whats your favourite study treat??

That's All For Now
