Zara shopper bag

Hi guys so I got this bag for Christmas off my lovely Mam which I am very grateful for and would like to thank her so much! It's from Zara and it is sort of a cross between the city bag and shopper bags. It is so beautiful. As you can see it has both a strap and handles but I prefer to use the handles just because the strap is short. 

So both of the zips open up and are pockets which I would see are for notebooks are secret presents but I put my laptop in there. Although it is a must to be careful as there isn't much padding. The zip inside the bag divides the space into two. 

So on one side there is sort of credit card holders and two little pockets I suppose you could put your loyality cards in here but I would recommend and bank cards just to be safe. I currently have pens in the middle pocket and my lip stuff in the right side. Although I have just started using it so things could always change. I love new bags its like a new adventure especially when they have lots of pockets and zips. (my weird side coming out)

This lining is such a beautiful red and it stands out which makes me love this bag a slight bit more. 

I was so pleased when I got this bag as it was a total surprise but I can always trust my Mam to choose the most amazing bags. Thank you Mam it is the best bag ever :)
Sorry I don't know the price of this and I can't find it on the Zara website but there is definitely where it was from.

Thank you for reading!

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation

Hi guys, I hope you have all had a wonderful christmas. I am so excited to write about this little beauty, it has been on my wish list for at least 4 month now and I finally picked it up on my little trip to Selfridges. I was a bit guttered that I couldn't get a pump to go with it as I feel every time i use it i waste a tiny bit but hopefully I will be able to pick one up soon. So this is my first product from Nars and I am so impressed with the packaging. 

This is by far the best foundation I have ever used to date. It is full coverage but it is not over the top and because it is full coverage I feel it lasts all day. I just think it is such a nice foundation and once you have tried it you can understand why is it so raved about. I got this in Mont Blanc and it is the perfect shade. 

When applying I use the real techniques expert face brush which does an amazing job at buffering it into your skin and gives you such a flawless finish. i did try using a stippling brush to blend it in the skin but I felt the expert face brush did a much nicer job. 

So the only thing I would have to pick up on is that it doesn't come with a pump which is sort of annoying and it can cling to dry skin but i find as long as you have a good skincare routine this shouldn't affect it. 

Overall this is an amazing foundation and I would recommend everyone to try this. The sheer glow is meant for people with a more dry skin whereas the matte range is for a more oily skin. 

Price: £30.50

Trip to Birmingham!

So I finished uni last Thursday which gave me and Connor a bit of time to have a trip to Birmingham before Christmas. I mainly wanted to go for Selfridge's and of course the German market. (There is no good markets in the north-east) So I have posted a few pictures of our little trip. 

I didn't get many of the Christmas Market mainly because I was so excited! 

How cute are the stalls! No idea what they say though

Wish I got a picture of the tree on a night.

I have no idea what this actually is, can anyone enlighten me?

Yes not the best photo haha

This is our friends cat who we stayed with he is so old but the cutest ever

Of course I had to treat myself to something, I have been lusting after this for a while and it was the only place I could buy it from a shop since there are no nars counters in the north east. I also got a few other things but they are for Christmas so I will have to do another post on those. 

I hope you enjoy these kind of posts! :)
