Shopping ban

Okay, so AGAIN i haven't written anything on my blog for a very long time, so with all my assignments and just two exams to focus on now i thought it would be a good opportunity to get writing again, mainly so my brain doesn't turn to mush, meaning my hopes of working for a magazine will also turn to mush, let's hope i can keep this going ha!

The last post i wrote on here was about my month temporary shopping ban i gave myself, which was indeed very successful. In fact, after my ban was up i did need something for my 21st which i thought would lead me on a wild crazed shopping spree from not getting anything for a month but i'm proud to say i stayed strong..haha.

This, coming from the girl, who regularly used to splurge on clothes, shoes etc, not really needing anything just buying things out of habit, it's actually sickening how much money i used to waste, i have things in my wardrobe that still haven't been worn a year or so later, items with tags still in. So I brought my dress back in the middle of April for my birthday and haven't brought one piece of clothing since, i have saved SO much money.

I think it's just down to our habits, with me anyway, i think i just got into a really bad habit of hitting the shops regularly and not realizing its not normal nor necessary.

However getting into this habit of not doing this for a month hasn't given me the urge i used to have before (plus shopping is just not fun anymore) soooo if i can stop my unnecessary spending i really think any other girl can.

Has anyone else quit their crazy splurging? xo

Narciso Rodriguez

If I were to put heaven in a bottle, this would be it.

The American designer hit the nail on the head when it comes to perfume. He hails from Cuba and has created his first fragrance 'For Her', that has become an instant hit in the States.

According to one blog it describes the perfume as 'the new modern aroma aimed at the modern and free woman, who is aware of her sexuality' ha!

I don't speak perfume language but I will tell you that it smells god damn amazing, just give it a spritz.

It starts at around £50 a bottle but when you smell that amazing who gives a sh*t?!

Kim Kardashian beauty

So this is how I had my make up when I went out at Uni a couple of weeks ago. I don't know about anyone else but I like quite a natural look when it comes to make up, less is always more. Sometimes I put on a bit more than usual because pictures can make you look like you have no make up on at all so it's always better to put a bit more bronzer on I've found.


I used Xen-tan because I believe its the absolute best tan, lasts forever and has a nice colour.
My foundation I'm wearing is YSL Perfect Touch Radiant. 
Benefit bronzer with benefit blusher over the top.
Benefit lipgloss 
Benefit 'They're Real' mascara 

In my opinion Kim Kardashian has the absolute best make up all the time, she always look stu-ning. If your to google make up and Kim Kardashian there are hundreds of blogs and tutorials on how to copy the different looks she goes for, her make up artist is a genuis!
Love the smokey eye here it makes her brown eyes really stand out
Serious eyelash envy. That's the finest eyelash extensions with mascara over the top again. I love that she's put her hair to the side, it draws more attention to her gorgeous eyes.

Kim's lashes look incredible here. I imagine this is due to her combination of her eyelash extensions and a good mascara.
The blush makes her look radiant, simple yet slick

What do you think to Kim's make up?
