Today I am going to branch out a little and do more of a beauty style post. Although I am a lifestyle blogger I like to mix things up from time to time. Plus I am really nosy and love to see what other people have bought.

The bunch of stuff I bought was because I found a bit of money in my room I had forgotten I had (bloody love it when that happens). A sensible person would have put that money aside for a rainy day and not spent it on eyeshadow, but I had clearly already done that and never spent it. So y'know I just thought what the heck, ITS TIME.

am obsessed with Urban Decay and in particular their Naked palettes. I find myself trawling through Instagram and Pinterest for pretty pictures that have these incredibly sexy eyeshadows in. I already have the Naked 3 palette and I have got such amazing use out of it. Clearly I now need all three of them.

So I had to get Naked 2. Its a beauty, I mean just look at it. I know everyone who has ever been on a beauty blog already knows all about them so I am not going to blabber on about the different shades and how pigemented it is or whatever. You already know this stuff, just look at it and appreciate how gorgeous it is. I think I'm in love. I suspect its only a matter of time before the original one is sitting in my online basket.

I also got the Urban Decay Primer Potion in original because this is the only thing I have ever tried that stops my eye make up sliding around my face on a night out. If for any insane reason you have not tried it yet then you really should. And just as a hint if you get a eyeshadow palette you get a free sample of this with it...

So moving on to lip products I finally purchased these after trying them on in store back at the beginning of the year. I can't stop thinking about how much I liked them so it had to be done. First up is the Revolution lipstick in Turn on which is a lovely soft pink colour. You can't get better than pink lipstick for Spring. Thats just how it is.

To go with it I got the Naked Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss in Lovechild. I used to love lipgloss and wore it everyday, but recently lipstick has kind of been winning for me. Its time to get back into this and I love that this one doesn't feel sticky and gloopy.

I'm pretty happy with all this, plus I got 10% off and free delivery which is always a bonus :D

My first ever pedicure

So a few days ago I had a pedicure for the first time ever. As a student this might sound like a ridiculous luxury and it is certainly not something I can afford to do all the time. However it was such a lovely treat and a really nice way to relax and pamper myself before the boat party that it was totally worth it.

I went to Maddisons Nail and Beauty in Southampton and I cannot believe I have been walking past this place for the last 2 years! Conveniently located on Portswood High Street and right between Costa and Sprinkles making it ideal for a catch up with your friends as you can go for an ice cream/coffee after. Plus they also offer a student discount (even better).


The whole trip was actually my friend Abbis idea and I am so glad she invited me. The interior is gorgeous in soft muted greys making the place feel really fresh and light. The girls who did our nails were lovely and gave the most incredible foot rub. My feet felt so soft and clean after I hardly wanted to put them back in my gross old Converse.

Apologies for the gross picture of my feet but I just wanted to show you how pretty and shiny the result was. I went for a shellac pedicure in a classic red so hopefully it will last a long time. I am thrilled with the result as my feet look so healthy and smooth.Afterwards Abbi and I went and had ice cream for breakfast (obvs) before heading off home to get ready for our night out.

Gonna have to start saving my money because I would love to treat myself again at some point in the future.
