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!

Dr Martens, fur lining

Last week I had a little shopping trip and my main aim was Christmas presents but also some winter boots since it is getting very cold in the UK now. When I walked into schuh the first things that caught my eye were fur lined dr Marten boots. I have never owned Dr Marten boots before but these just looked wonderful. I tried them on and they were extra comfy and cosy.

So I have chosen to wear them with the flap slightly down so you can see the fur but you could also wear them curled down all the way round the top, although i feel it would make a crease in the leather. So I have only laced them up to the 6th hole so i can fold the tongues over slightly.  As you can see I am wearing these with jeans but I would probably wear tights with these boots as well. So since these are Dr Martens they are  cartegena leather it makes them feel extra soft and gives them a very smooth finish. I would totally recommend this brand to anyone. The leather feels amazing and I will last a very long time if you look after them.

Mascara of the month: Maybelline Falsies

After weeks of researching this mascara I finally bought it, I swore by benefit they're real mascara I believed nothing would come close to that mascara but this one comes 99% close and is half the price. 

So what do they claim? 

Well the name says it is like false lashes , they obviously don't add any more length to your lashes but they give them volume which in effect makes them look longer and thicker. Now I am very blessed to have lovely lashes that are long and thick without mascara so I don't need much but I do like getting the best. With this mascara I do feel like It gives my lashes a great look with just one stroke of mascara! They also claim it is ex matte and extremely black. Now in all fairness I always get a black mascara so I don't really think there is a mascara any blacker than another but it is a dark black I suppose. I have also never had a shiny mascara they have always been a matte colour so it is as matte as it can be. I can't really go into much detail about these two claims but it is black and it is matte! 

The brush is a very curvy shape which fits your lashes perfectly, this also gives less mess (getting it all over my face) which is always a benefit for me! It also gives your lashes a nice shape without a curler. Its hard to get used it it compared to just a straight line but once you do it is very addictive. I have never curled my lashes purely because they don't need it. I never find that it clumps which is always a plus from a high street. mascara. 

They do two different types one waterproof one non waterproof. I choose the waterproof one purely because winter is coming (yes, i was aiming for the game of thrones reference) and i always get caught in the rain. This mascara will last all day which is brill! I find it lasts long than the benefit they're real mascara. 

 

This was £7.99 which is a great price and does the same thing compared to the Benefit they're real which is

£19.50.

Review: They're real benefit mascara

Hi,
so i blogged about these a few weeks back and after trying it out nearly everyday since I can finally blog about how crazy I am over this mascara.

I literally love everything about this mascara which I can't be said for any other mascara I own. At first I was abit unsure of it but as soon as I got the hang of using it and how it works I fell in love. The brush on this mascara is long and thin with really short stems as you can see./I love this but I know some people prefer a thicker one. I think this looks neat and tidy and it glides on so well! It doesn't state that this is waterproof so I can't comment on that but I literally put this on at 7 in the morning and I am still scraping it off at 10 at night. I have never found a mascara that stays on so well. The blackness that it gives doesn't fade through the day like other mascaras. 

Now this is generally what it looks like, although the only makeup I have on is the mascara. I would go as far as to say it fills your lashes out but of course it doesn't make them longer since it isn't a magic potion. They do generally look longer. This mascara doesn't clump onto your lashes it does flow through them which is brilliant. It easily glides onto your bottom lashes as well which is always a bonus. I do have long and thick lashes which is always a bonus so I am not sure how this would be with someone who has thin lashes. I would recommend this to anyone who is asking for a high end mascara! This is the only high end mascara I would buy since most mascaras are the same where ever you buy them from. I would still only keep this for 3-4 months purely because if i use anything old it makes my eyes flare up and its not recommended that you do. This is £19.50 which is expensive for a mascara but I would totally go for it. I got this when there were vat free prices on so I think I paid around £16:50.

My first Benefit products!

For while I have been researching benefit products because I've never tried anything from them before. So I decided to go for the they're real beyond mascara. There is a lot of talk about this mascara and its all good so I thought why not. I also picked up the brow shaping kit.

I am so excited to try these products because there is so much hype about benefit and I am hoping I really love them. So far ive tried them a couple of times and so far so good! Although I am still getting used to the brow shaping kit! I am kinda knew to the whole eyebrow shaping on your own thing but so far it is all going good and the little instructions inside are very helpful. This brow pack also comes with two brushes (only mini's) and mini tweezers.

I've tried the mascara a few times now and it gives your lashes a good coverage and length. The few times ive wore them it hasn't stayed on as long as I had hoped but that might just be me. I am pleased with this at the minute and i will review this product soon. I hope there is a lot more benefit products to come into my make up bag!
