A Little Splurge...

So, I've neglected this blog for a while... Time to update!

On Saturday I went shopping (surprise there) and finally splurged on my first ever Benefit product!

(pictured: Revlon Just Bitten Balmstain in Cherish - so yummy on the lips and looks great too!)

I had such a lovely experience with the counter lady (whatever you call them) and after asking to get her to test the product on me, she seemed all too happy to get me onto a wee barstool style seat. The product was "High Beam" - a lovely satin pink highlighter and she showed me where/how to apply it. She also thought I'd had my eyebrows shaped somewhere (I just tweeze strays) and said they were a lovely shape - I felt so proud hehe :)

Back to the product... once she applied it onto the apples of my cheeks, a little on my chin and bridge of my nose I could tell I was gonna buy it! At £18.50 its justifiable when you think how long it'll last! I forgot to take a photo of me wearing it :( but they gave me a sample moisturiser too, which feels great on my skin but doesn't last as long as I thought it might - but then again I have really dry skin!

this photo isn't the best quality but oh well. i liked my outfit for christmas shopping last weekend so here it is!

jumper : Jack Wills. investment buy and its amazing quality and so cosy!

shirt : New Look. this is sleeveless and sheer white so you'd need to wear a bandeau underneath but theres lovely gold small studs in a wee line which add love!

jeans : River Island. got these in the sale for £20, such a steal

boots : New Look. already shown a better photo of these <3

these are a few of my favourite things...

seeing as im new, i thought i'd better give you an idea of who i am, so what better than to show you some of the stuff that makes me tick!

1. my grey boots : got these a month or so ago from New Look. they give me just a little bit of extra height (not that i really need it) and i just feel so good wearing them!

2. my perfume : Marc Jacobs-Dot 100ml. i totally adore the scent and its just so fresh and sweet but not too overpowering

3. River Island : this shop is just too perf for words.. i seriously need more money so i can actually afford everything in there.

4. collecting things from my holidays : little souvenirs make me so happy and remind me of all the memories from when i was there :)

5. my camera : Nikon Coolpix s3100 - had this little beauty for just over a year and it keeps fuelling my love for photography ❤

6. Tom Daley : don't even need to explain tbh
