My Day In Pictures

I Had such a lovely day out in Exeter yesterday, the weather wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, when I first left my house it was raining and so windy and my umbrella kept turning inside out but the weather soon calmed down and it was just cold.

I was meant to be going to the Lush store last Friday for their A/W new products launch but I couldnt make it, I was gutted! So instead they asked me to go in yesterday and they saved me a goody bag and showed me through the products! The products I got were amazing, I'm so greatful to be a part of their A/W launch! Anyway I will be showing you the products I received and talk more about these products on another blog post I have planned for you all.

We then went to the Chinese buffet (7 Wok) anyone who knows me that reads this will probably laugh as they know I literally only eat at 7 wok hahaha! It's a Chinese buffet right next to Exeter City centre, I will actually say this is my favourite restraunt, I've lost count of how many times I've eaten there and I never actually get bored of the food. The staff are always really friendly to. 

Before I went home we went and sat in a park/gardens for a while just to chill out, it was slightly cold but it was so pretty all the autumn leaves had fallen from the trees and you can just tell winters on it's way.

HOW TO: make cheesy nachos

Your going to need: 

Tortilla chips/crisps

Cheese 

Tomatoes 

Low Fat Natural yoghurt 

Tomatoe purée (in a tube)

Thai sweet chilli sauce 

Salt & pepper 

Rocket Salad 

First of all place the tortilla chips In a bowl, I got about half a big bag of tortillas.

Now it's time to make your sauce, for this you will need your tomato purée,natural yoghurt, salt, pepper and Thai sweet chilli sauce 

Get a bowl and put about 4 table spoons of the yoghurt in there, then I did six squirts of tomatoe purée mixed In with the yoghurt you can do less or more depending on how much you want the sauce to taste like tomatoes. Then I put 2 table spoons of Thai sweet chilli sauce, again depending on how chilli you want it you can add more or less, it's all about getting the sauce right and how you want it to taste as this is very similar to a salsa sauce I think! Then add the salt and pepper, this defenitly completes the sauce it's a must have! 

Next grab an oven tray out of the cupboard and put the tortilla chips on the oven tray ( I'm not using foil as the tortillas stick to the foil so make sure you clean your oven tray before use ). 

Then I poured half of the sauce mix on to the tortillas. For cheese I have used cheese slices, I think they are creamier and taste a lot less sickly, but you can use any cheese you want! You then place the cheese on top I used four cheese slices. Next pour the remaining sauce you have left on top of the cheese. The reason why I've layered the sauce is to mix it all up so you can get the taste everywhere. 

I then got a tomato and cut it into slices and placed a few slices on top, before it goes in the oven it should look something abit like this: 

I then placed my tray in the oven on 150 degrees and left it in for 30 minutes! 

Once that's done place it on a plate, I put a tiny bit of rocket salad on the top and added some more salt and pepper.. It's now ready to serve!

Hope you enjoy.. 

Makeup haul

Hey guys!

Hope your all having a fab day! My days been abit boring so I got a blog prepared for you guys! These are just a few things I have bought over the past couple of months that I really like and think they are worth sharing with you ..

MAC EYELINER IN BOLD -

I bought this on eBay for £8.

I like this eyeliner it's so easy to apply and as you can see the wing is literally on point ..

This eyeliner is a shiny one, I don't know what it is I just prefer matte black eyeliners but I still defenitly love this eyeliner and I think it's worth it's money! 

BOURJOIS 13 TOMBEE A PINK -

I like this nail varnish, the colour is a very nude pale pink and that's what I like I have only used it once and I must say it lasts good, apart from if you catch it on anything it could chip - baring in mind this happens with pretty much any nail varnish!!

I use two coats, I wouldn't even say you need two because one coat looks fine! I add two for it to last longer and I think it looks more neat if you add a couple coats! Overall a good nail varnish (sorry guys I forgot the price) I know I'm an idiot!! I did buy it from boots though, also you can probably buy it online or any drugstores near you! 

SOAP & GLORY LOVE AT FIRST BLUSH PINK, POP & PEARL -

This blush is so cute! I bought it from boots for about £8-£9 I think. As you can see it has quite a few colours in it I literally grab my brush mix in all the colours and put some on my cheeks.

It adds a lovely glow and it's not to dramatic either it doesn't make you look to shimmery, and it doesn't make your cheeks go really pink like a gnome lol!

TOO FACED CHOCOLATE SOLEIL MEDIUM/DEEP MATTE BRONER -

I bought this on eBay for £5! Bargain I know! I got really bored of the same old bronzer I had been using for ages and really wanted a new one, so I was going to get hoola from benefit then I looked at reviews and people said it can make you look muddy and patchy and I really didn't want to waste lots of money on something that could possibly make me look like a hot mess! So I was looking at bronzer reviews on YouTube and I came across this, people were saying how good it is so I thought I'd give it a try! Once I tried it I absolutely loved it, it doesn't make you go patchy and it also makes you look like you have a real natural tan!

Also good for people with oily skin that don't want to look shiny because this is a matte bronzer.

CHANEL VITALUMIERE AQUA SHADE 20, 30ml -

Ok so same thing happened with my bronzer, I got bored of the same old foundation and wanted to try a new one and heard a lot of good things about this, I bought this on depop market for £18! If you don't know what depop is, it's a new app, where you can buy swap and sell your stuff all you need to do is download the app and make an account! I got this in shade 20 and it is a perfect match! So I have a lot of stuff to say about this foundation, good and bad things here I go ..

Let me list the good first!

So when I first applied it it made my skin look really dewy and glowing I didn't really want to even apply a powder on top of it (but I know what my skin is like it would get mega oily if I didn't) 

It really matched my skin perfectly, it has a yellow undertone which makes your skin look so tanned and natural I can't even explain it, it just looks flawless! So id say it's medium coverage, usually I want full coverage but with this I just don't care it makes my skin look so flawless and new one layer is enough for me.

Now let me tell you the bad things

So when you first apply it, it really does look amazing, like you have hardly any foundation on, but through out the day I can feel the oiliness on my skin, I looked in the mirror a couple hours after applying it and I looked abit oily, and where there are dents in my face I noticed that the foundation had kind of sunk into them and it made my foundation look like I had wrinkles on my face a little bit. 

I like this foundation a lot, but as my skin is quite oily I think I'm going to save this for the winter instead of using it now and see how it reacts to my skin then as my skin will be a lot dryer in the winter! 

If your skin isn't really oily I would say this foundation is perfect for you, it's a shame I had to have oily skin !! 

BARRY M LIP LINER NO - 5 

I loveeeeeee this lip liner!!!!! It's so easy to apply, it's really pigmented and it's such a gorgeous colour. It makes my lips look really full, and it looks so natural aswell, it's like a natural nude lip colour so it doesn't look dramatic or full on. This cost me about £3 or £4 I think from boots. 

It lasts a couple of hours on my lips before I have to apply some more, but even when I do re-apply it, it's not fully rubbed off! 

So there's a few of my favourite products I have purchased over the past couple of months guys, let me know what you think in the comments below and opinions on the products to! 

Thank you

Maybelline New York Master Duo Eyeliner Review

I really wanted to review this eyeliner I'm never picky with eyeliners they all seem the same to me the matte black ones I usually get but I have to review this eyeliner to let you all know how much I HATE IT!!! 

This is the maybelline New York master duo thin or thick glossy liner. First of all I am pissed I paid eight pound for this because from my opinion I think it's awful, others might like it, but personally I hate it I wouldn't have minded spending eight pound or more on an eyeliner if I liked it but I feel like this was a waste of money, I will start of with the thing that bugs me the most, the formula in the product, I put this on and it's easy to apply it's just like applying any other eyeliner there's no problems there but then I recognised when it had dried it looked really shiny and tacky and it was cracking so the eyeliner was actually flaking off it looked really tacky and this is the main reason why I hate it.

I do winged eyeliner nearly everyday and I love getting it perfect and looking really neat and tidy and when I applied this and it had dried I just felt like it looked shiny flaky and all around tacky!!!! 

I'm sure no one really wants their eye make-up to look like that. I would love to know what other people think of this eyeliner?
