What's in my Bag!

Finally a new blog post from me! I have been on holiday to Cyprus and have only recently just got back and I must say I'm missing Cyprus so much, but I will be doing a holiday blog post when I get all the pictures! But I thought in the mean time why not do a What's in my Bag because I have seen a lot of people doing these sorts of post's and videos on youtube so I thought why not! Also we might do a whats in our school bag like we did last year as people took and interest in them so maybe a back to school series on the blog as me and Abbie are going to sixth form so we have more school supplies and outfits as we don't have to wear uniforms! Anyway lets get on with it!!!!

This is my bag that I have started using when I go out to places like shopping, college induction days ect, but I also used it to travel to Cyprus with and it was amazing it fit so much stuff in and didn't actually get that heavy! And its the Michael Kors Medium Jet Set Travel and it was brought by my mom and dad for my 16th Birthday and I actually wrote a blog post on it so check that out as I go into more detail! 16th Birthday. It's a decent size and has 3 compartments in it so I can fit quite a lot in there which is good because I take it out for a day hardly anything in it at the start and then by the end it's full and I don't know how!

The picture above shows you a top view of that compartments in the bag and a quick overview of what is in it on a daily basis. So first lets start with the first compartment which is the pocket at the front.

The first pocket I just carry some earphones who are apple ear phones which just come with my phone, I then just have a pen just incase I ever need one when I go out or if I go out with my mom and she doesn't have one it's nice to know I have one as a backup! Then lastly I just have this cream pouch which is from H&M a while back and it just carry's my girly stuff so that they aren't on show to the whole world!

Then in the middle of the back there is a zip pocket and In that I carry my makeup because I don't really see the point in carrying a makeup back because I don't actually wear that much makeup and because at the moment with my tan my makeup doesn't match the shade of my skin as I'm darker so I just carry some Tissues as they are a must with my hay fever, 4head as I get migraines and don't really want to carry my tablets around with me but I do carry paracetamol around with me, then I have my Nivea Milk and Honey lip balm as I have dry lips, then the benefit Bad Gal lash to top my mascara up If I wanted to, then last thing for makeup if the Seventeen Miracle Matte Pressed Powder as I don't want to look shiny. Then the last two products are some hand cream from Soap and Glory and some Spray so that I don't smell.

The last pocket in the back is the same size as the pocket in the front and in this one I tend to carry the more expensive stuff as it's closer to my underarm so I anyone tries to steal anything there is a good chance I will be able to feel it! Anyway first thing first is the two paris of glasses first I have my sunglasses which are RayBan and then my glasses which are also RayBan but they would only be in my bag If I were to wear contact lenses. Then I have my purse which used to be my baby pink Ted Baker one but I changed to my MK ones as it's bigger and I could fit more money in when I went to Cyprus and this is just a light brown, then I carry my inhaler just incase and then lastly my life which is my phone!


That is all from me until I do my holiday post but this was only a filler until I write my holiday post but I hope you liked it and stay tuned for the holiday post and more posts of both of us due to summer holidays!

October Favourites❤

YES Im back! Me and Abbie are back, we have been very busy lately with revising and maths and english exams! but finally we are back on track and have very little homework to complete! So back to the post! I managed to pick out some of my october favourites yes I know im late but who cares.... So this post is just basically what I have loved in the october month! Lets get started

Beauty:

1) Nivea Daily Essentials- Refreshing Cleansing Mousse
  This has been my life saver all though the month of October! I have been so tired on a night that I have been ditching my normal skin care routine and have just been taking my makeup off with my makeup wipes and then have been getting hot water squirting this in to my hand and then just moisturising this in to my face and its honestly worked. It just comes out as a foam and you just run the hot water on it the apply to the face! It has left my face feeling really fresh and soft!  

Nivea: Cleansing Mousse

2) Maybelline Eraser Eye
    This has also been my life saver as I have been worn out and tired with all these exams           so I havent been sleeping as well as normal so what appears?! Thats right dark circles.... I know this says anti-age but it works on anybody face old or young! This covers all my dark circles and usually I apply it with my beauty blender and then just set it with my powder and bam you're done!

3) Mac Studio Moisture Tint-Light 
    This has always been my go to tinted moisture and in the month of october I have       gone back to this as I was using the Maybelline-Dream BB but I found this was getting very heavy and making my face dry so I stopped using it and went back to my old faithful! Tinted Moistures are honestly the best as I never wear foundation I always wear BB Creams or Tinted Moistures so If you ever what great coverage then I recommend the Mac Tinted Moisturiser.

4) Lancome-Hypnose Doll Eyes
    This is my all time favourite mascara from Lancome which I never shop at for makeup but this is the most perfect mascara ever! And I brought it at duty free in Cyprus, It was limited edition so you probably will not be able to buy it anymore which im really sad about because when it runs out I don't know what im going to do! It has never gone clumpy and stays one forever im not even joking!

5) Benefit- Speed Brow

    I must say that my eyebrows have been out of control alot at the moment so I did invest in the Benefit speed brow gel which tints you're eyebrows but also keeps them in place so this has been working a trick for me as its 2 in 1! I havent had to fill my eyebrows in like I used to because this adds colour but also keeps them in place so its perfect its quicker in the morning as well so I defiantly recommend this!

Hair Care:

1) Babyliss Pro-Stylist Tool
   Only one thing for hair tools as this is the only thing that is new over the october month and also what I have been using non stop! My mom invested in this as she wanted to start curling her hair alot more and our hairdresser recommended this to us so we brought it from beautybay and it arrived and we have been using it non stop! It adds these nice flowy curls to you're hair and they stop in all day! I will normally just add a few curls to my hair with this in a morning even though my natural hair is curly I just like to add more curls to make it look new again!

Fashion:

1)Super Cosy-Black Fleecy Tights
   Since I have been wearing dresses with my chelsea boots and just ankle boots and my fluffy 'Princess Coat' I brought some new tights as mine are old and too big for me! So I was just shopping in Primark having a look around and saw these tights which are jet black and are super cosy I thought wow bet they are nice and as I walked closer I saw that these tights had a fleecy lining I MEAN WHAT?! OMG so I just chucked them in to the basket and here they are!

Black Tights-Primark 

2) SWEATER WEATHER:
   So recently i have been buying and wearing loads of jumper and watching beauty gurus on youtube has made me want to buy more so every time I go shopping to Topshop, Forever 21, Primark etc i have to look at the jumpers and there is all sorts of different kinds so yes I have been buying them and I can't even tell you how many I have got and where I have got them from but here is just a few that I have brought.

Cream Jumper-Forever 21
Black Jumper- Primark
Blue Jumper-Topshop

Thank you for reading and me and Abbie are so sorry that there has been hardly any post but we should be back with it know! And my lookbook is on its way with some outfits that you can wear everyday but still be warm! Bye

Skin Care Routine

I have recently started looking after my skin a lot more than usual which I know is a must and that you should always look after your skin! My skin is lovely and I am totally spot free  I know I am very lucky with my skin and I feel terrible because some people with spot's have tried all different types of products that will help with their skin but sometimes it makes it worse for them and im guilty because I never used to look after my skin the only thing I used to do was remove my makeup with makeup wipes! So I'm going to show you how I look after my skin know so with out further a do lets get started!

Step 1: 

* Garnier Clean and Soft Complete Cleansing Wipes (£2.17), I have been using these facial wipes since I have started wearing makeup my mom recommended them to me and ever since then I have never brought or used any different cleansing wipes.I really recommend these cleansing wipes because they are so soft they smell pleasant and they remove your makeup perfectly.And this is what I use to remove my makeup every night it's also good at removing the dirt off your face because you don't want a dirty face!

Step 2:

*Nivea Pure & Natural Cleansing Lotion (£2.30), I use this cleansing lotion every night before I go to bed I apply it to a large cotton wool pad which you cant get from Boots, Superdrug and also supermarkets.Once I have applied a fair amount on to the cotton wool pad I just apply that to one of my cheeks and just make sure that its spread around the cheek evenly I then do the same to my other cheek then to my forehead just my whole face really and I just try to rub it in as much as I can, you can see the dirt that has been on your face all day on the cotton wool pad but this helps alot to remove all the grubby things that are on your face.

Step 3:

*Nivea Pure & Natural Cleansing Toner (£2.24), When I have applied the Cleansing Lotion to my face I get another large cotton wool pad and just squirt some of the Cleansing Toner on to the large cotton wool pad and just go around my face just wiping off the Lotion that I had put on before, you can  see the dirt on the cotton wool pad when you remove it which shows that the Makeup remover wipes don't remove all of the grubby things that are on to your face all day even though you can't even see them! The Cleansing toner honestly looks like water if you ask my but anyway... When I finish with this my skin feels so soft and refreshed.

Step 4:

*Nivea Extra Gentle Eye Make Up Remover (£3.39), I use this again every night just to remove my eye makeup as I always wear my eye shadows and mascara because im obsessed with making my eyes look pretty so I just apply this to a large cotton wool pad and just wipe over my eye lids and just my eye lashes to get an mascara that didn't come off with the makeup wipes.

*******Another thing I also do is not something I do every night because I don't go in the shower every night but when im in the shower I just wash my face with just the hot water from the shower and just cup it in my hands and splash my face.**********

I also hope to add another thing to my skin routine which is the Clarisonic Brush in pink so if anyone has one just comment and tell me what they are like as I might need to purchase a pink Clarisonic Brush!

And thats it thats my skin routine for you I would honestly try these products if I were you because they are fantastic! Thank you!

Little Side Note:

Me and Abbie have not been posting alot lately as we didn't know what to write about but we are back up and running again! We will probably be doing a whats in my school bag? Maybe we could start a back to school series even though it might be a little late know but we could do advice anything that you need help with about school that just a little idea!
