30 day blog challenge: Day 10

A photo of your favourite place to eat

Without a doubt my favourite place to eat is Nandos! I just love it. It's cheap, has a great atmosphere and who can resist unlimited drinks and chicken?! I get the same meal every single time I go there- l always have a chicken pitta with peri peri chips and mash potato. Seriously if you've never tried it then you need to! Deeeeeeelicious :)

Have you ever been to Nandos? What's your favourite place to eat?

30 day blog challenge: Day 9

A photo of the item you last purchased

(A day late again- I know, naughty Jaime! But my camera broke over the weekend and my family were away so I had to wait until they were back to borrow theirs!)

I am in love with this handcream!! It is 3 of my favourite things rolled into 1- handcream, Cath Kidston and bluebells! I saw it online and it was one of the those purchases you just don't think about. No sooner had I seen it, it was in my bag and I was checking out. It's the perfect spring purchase. Love love love <3

*buy here*

Have you tried any of the Cath Kidston handcreams? Let me know if you would like to see a review on this!

See you tomorrow! J x

These might seem like pretty depressing choices but at the minute this is how I feel. I'm on the other side of the world to all my family and friends and some days it sucks more than others. I know I go home in 2 weeks but still.. today I want nothing more than a hug from my Grandma and a night out with my girls.

30 day blog challenge: Day 7

Your dream wedding

This may seem strange but I am obsessed with weddings! I love the glamour and the romance of the whole thing. I can easily spend hours and hours looking at dresses and cakes and flowers, ahh I just adore it. But this means at the young age of 18 I have quite a lot of ideas for my own wedding, lets just hope the man I decide to marry wants something as lavish as I do :D

How amazing is this dress?! Perfect *from here*

I want my bridesmaids to wear baby pink! *from here*

I want to get married by water! Photos on a jetty are just too much! *from here*

Do you have your wedding planned out? Or is it just me?

This was such a hard question to answer, there are so many different shops I love! I love New Look because it's high quality clothing at ultra cheap prices. They are always on trend and I love the fact that they've started to do different labels online. The fact they do student discount is also a bonus ;)

Brown and Pink Leapord Print Hoodied Onesie- £22.99

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 1

A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was

So here is day 1 of my 30 day blog challenge!! I'm so excited to be doing this :)
(A day late I know, but I was poorly yesterday!)

This morning I woke up and felt so ill. Had a really bad headache, a sore throat and just generally felt like shit! It was absolutly pouring it down too and I didn't bring anything waterproof to Australia with me. I did not want to get out of bed at all but I I was up, dressed and out the house for half 7! I went to a little cafe on the Mandurah Foreshore called Merchants Tea House for breakfast and sat with a croissant, a pot of tea and my kindle for like an hour watching the weather outside- there is literally nothing better to do when it's raining!!

I then went to the hairdressers and finally got my hair sorted out. It's been in such bad condition recently from the constant home bleaching and over straightening so I booked myself in for a deep treatment, highlights and a cut! After feeling pooey all morning it was the best pick me up :) As you can sort of see in the photo I've had a sort of side fringe cut back in and I had 3 different colours of blonde highlights in. My hair looks and feels better than it has done in ages!!!!

After a quick stop off at subway for lunch I got a taxi home and crawled straight into bed where I didn't move again until the following morning. When you're feeling poorly there is nothing better than putting your comfiest pjs on, getting a hot water bottle and getting into bed! So my day wasn't too exciting, hope I feel better tomorrow.

See you tomorrow! J x

30 day blog challenge

Hey :)

First off I just want to apologise for my blog at the minute- I'm new at it and I know.. It's showing! I'm still getting the hang of things and even though I'm not writing many posts at the minute I'm constantly researching for ideas and hints and tips. (If anyone can help me get my head around htmls then this would be much appreciated!!!!)

I've decided that I want to try and blog at least 3/4 times a week but I think I need a kickstart, which is where the 30 day blog challenge comes into play. I'm going to do a post daily and whilst doing this I'm going to be trying products out, researching popular posts and keeping you updated on my life!

So please, bear with me and I promise it will get better x

So here it is.. The 30 day blog challenge!

Review: Rimmel Lasting Finish By Kate Lipstick - Shade 16

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate in shade 16

Buy here: Asos Beauty - £4.39

I've been lusting after this lipstick for so long after reading only positive reviews. Rimmel has always been one of my favourite high street makeup brands and Kate Moss is one of the all time super models so I was super excited to try her collection out- 2 of my favourite things combined- how could I resist?! It was my bargain of the day! I picked it up in Coles (an Australian supermarket) on the reduced section for around $4.00 (This is about £2.70!!). I had to stop myself from fist pumping in the middle of the aisle! If you are ever in the beauty section of Coles make sure you look on the very bottom shelf. There are always loads of great products reduced. 

I have light blonde hair and naturally quite pale skin so I normally tend to go for light pink lipsticks as I think these suit my complexion more than most darker shades.The shade I bought was number 16. It is was the light pink/coral colour that I instantly fell in love with. The swatch photo below shows the 2 different tones in it. I've worn it so much over the past few weeks that my Auntie actually asked me the other day if I was bored of it yet (answer- no!!).

There literally isn't 1 bad thing that I could say about this lipstick. The colour is sheer but doesn't require a large number of coats like some other lipsticks (This is a pet hate of mine!). The lipstick claims to be long lasting and I can say that it does live up to this. I can put it on in the morning before work and by the time lunch time arrives it is only just starting to fade. The moisturising element is also a benefit as I have naturally dry lips and some lipsticks can stick in the cracks of dry skin but this lipstick gives a good coverage. It has a really girly smell which only adds to how much I love it!

Final thoughts: After a lot of hype to live up to, this lipstick did not let me down! It's now firmally up there in my favourites and I'm excited to try some more of the collection.

Have any of you tried this lipstick? I'd love to know if you love it as much as I do!
