Liz Earle gift set + review

Hey guys, another one of my christmas presents coming up, THANKYOU MAM!

This is the gift set which my beautiful Mam got my for christmas and it was a complete surprise. I have always thought I would never try any other skincare products apart from things from Clinque. Although this gift set has changed my mind. 

So these are the products that come within this set: Hot cloth cleanser, Hot cloth, eye bright, instant boost skin tonic. 

The Hot cloth cleanser is now in my everyday skin routine which was definitely my mams aim as she also uses it religiously. This stuff is amazing, the website describes this as a concentrated but gentle cleanser it is plant based. This makes it very natural and no matter how sensitive your skin this shouldn't affect it at all. It is made for all ages and skin types. So all of you can use this no matter what your skin type. 

It is a cream based product and I normally use about two pumps and rub it all over my face with slightly extra applied to my dry patches. I then make sure the water is warm/hot and wipe everything off my face with the cloth which is given. I normally do it on a morning and evening and it fits in perfectly with my routine. This product is definitely worth a try, it will most likely be one of the best cleansers you will try. 

100ml starter kit (with cloth) £14.75

Now I haven't used these as much as the hot cloth cleanser mainly because I have other products I use but I will start using these more and get a review up! They are both liquid based so I mainly apply them with a cotton pad.

Thankyou for reading I hope you enjoyed it

I can't give a price for the gift set because it was a christmas thing!
Although they do plenty of sets which could give you a little starter kit if you would like to try this brand!

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!

My make-up story

I was stuck in traffic all the way home, i pre-occupied my mind by thinking about what sort of different posts I could put up! I thought about why not a history on how I have got on with make-up over my teenage years and what got me so into make-up so much to start a blog.

I probably started wearing make-up around the age of 13 just a little bit mascara and blusher. I was more into nail varnish at this time and my school was always telling me to take it off. One of the main reasons I started wearing make-up at this age was because everyone else around me was. I thought it was a grown up thing to do not really understanding make-up at all. As I got old I'd say around 15 was when i started doing a full face of make-up so to speak. One of my first foundations was a rimmel which by all means made me look orange. I had no idea what a colour match was and I was wearing a foundation that totally didn't match my skin type. Looking back I looked horrible. So I think my mam started to pick up this wasn't the look for me and decided to take me to get some make-up. A lot of my friends were using dream matte mousse. I got the perfect colour and I started learning how to blend etc etc. I suppose I started exploring with make-up but I only ever got make-up from drugstores. I also got the powder from maybelline which matched this. I used these until i was 17. I at 15 i also started to wear eyeliner. Id wear this under my eyes and I have done this until about 5months ago.

So this is the look I'd gone for starting at around 15/16 and it stayed like this for a long time with a few adjustments. I was very bland I never really wore blushers I owned probably none until I was about 16. Another thing I never wore mascara hardlys I didn't feel it ever made a difference to my eyes and I have tried a lot. In this picture I don't think I have any mascara on.I also never did much with my eyebrows they were so bad I dont know what was going on in my head! So when my 17 birthday past a few months after I pasted my driving test which led to me getting a little job in a coffee shop where I still am now! This started giving me extra cash etc etc. I started looking at you tube videos around the summer of 2012. I did this for a good while and this is when I started understanding the concept of make-up and it really made me love it. I then started looking at blogs and reading what everyone had to say. For my birthday my mam bought me my first high end make-up and since then my full make-up bag has changed. I started getting into high end brands mainly because I could afford them. I read up on a lot of products before buying them and i just started to explore and play about with make-up. I still haven't forgotten about drugstore make-up because there is a lot of good make-up still to have from there but I understand make-up and it is such an amazing thing. 

It was only this year in may when I made my first blog which is this one. I am loving every second of it. It has given me confidence to try new things and I love the community that goes along with it!  

This is me today!
