Travel Diaries: NYC

Since I've been a little inactive on here for a while (due to an array of reasons), I thought to get back into this I would start with a shorter post just to help some inspiration flow, plus I've been planning on doing this ever since I came back from my trip but just haven't got around to it until now.

Just a few photos from my recent trip to NYC for my birthday, hope you enjoy them! I've tried to mention in the caption what the pictures actually are,  but some may not be specific.

Travel Diaries: Washington D.C

If you're one of those people who love to browse through people's photos of where they've been (like I am!) then here's a great post for you haha. I've compiled a lot of mix and matched photos in this post from  my trip to D.C over the past weekend. I apologise that there isn't any real order to them...they're from different days and we went to similar places at time. But I will try to put what they photo is of, whether it's a monument of inside a museum or something, but they might not all have names depending on whether I can remember them haha. 

March Favourites

I can't believe it's already the end of March. This month especially seems to have flown by and honestly I'm pretty happy about that because I can't wait for my long awaited two month trip back to the UK. Anyway, I thought I'd finally get around to doing another favourites post. My last was a winter favourites post, but I'm going to try to do these monthly now, depending on whether I have a decent amount to share with you, but I'm going to try.

Beauty Pins: Helpful Tips and Tricks

Does anyone else love scouring pinterest for all of these beauty hacks and tips...No? Just me? Ok well, I love finding random random pins that might turn out to be really useful in the future and to refer back to. So I thought I would share with you some really helpful pins I've found, all beauty and and makeup related and possibly help you out a little bit.

Makeup Haul

I thought I would do a quick little post for you today showing you some of my recent purchases. If you've read a few of my past blog posts particularly my last, you'll know I'm a lover of foundations, and I'm always trying to find the best for my skin type. So of course there were going to be some in here, what did you expect from me? 

My Most Reached for Foundations

Foundations are one of my biggest loves when it comes to makeup. I am constantly repurchasing them to find one that is the perfect match for my skin, not just for my tone but to find one that can help me combat my oily, acne prone complexion and hyperpigmentation I have. With that being such a tall order I've found some pretty good ones that work well for me so I thought I'd share them with you. I've put two drugstore foundations and two slightly more expensive foundations in here just to suit everyones price range!

Matte Nude Nails

I was looking through the new editions to the Essie collection, particularly browsing their matte collection because I love the look it gives, but don't own a single one. I found a few really pretty shades like 'Cashmere Matte' and 'Spun In Luxe' which were my two favourites. But I didn't want to be spending money on more expensive nail varnishes just for similar colours that I already own, the only difference being that these are matte. So originally I thought I'll look at less expensive brands and see if I can find similar matte colours. But I came across this top coat from Revlon....that makes any nail varnish you own, matte. I absolutely love this idea...It's like purchasing 30 new matte nail varnishes because I can just apply this on top of any nail colour I want and make it matte without having to buy separate ones! 

(Count how many times I can say matte in this post...haha)
