Youtubers you need to watch part 2.

Hello so a couple of weeks ago I did a blog about some of my favourite youtubers but I couldn't fit them all into one blog so I decided to do a part 2.
So the first YouTuber is Sophdoesnails. She doesn't do nails, she mainly does makeup and all of her tutorials/ first impressions videos are so good and I love watching them. She has recently done a collab with makeup revolution and created an eyeshadow palette and a highlighter palette which both look so pretty and are only £10.
Next is sophie foster. She does a variety of videos like makeup and fashion and she puts so much effort and thought into every video she uploads. You should definitely go and subscribe.
Finally is pointlessblog/ Alfie Deyes. Alfie has been making videos for ages now and I have been a fan for such a long time. He does daily vlogs which I always watch because they're so entertaining and positive. He also has merch out and I have a pink PB tshirt which is such good quality and only £15.

Thank you for reading todays blog and I hope you enjoyed it.

Snowella haul/review.

Hello so today I went shopping and bought a couple of items from the new Christmas zoella beauty range so I thought I'd do a blog about them.
The first thing I got was the all is bright makeup bag. This is £12 and which is a really good price because inside you get a mini hand cream and a roller ball. The hand creams are really nice and make your hands so soft. And the roller ball smell amazing and is a good size. The makeup bag itself is really nice too and it's made from a grey felt material.
The other thing I got from the range is the body mist. I really like zoella body mists because they smell really good and last a long time. In this range they brought out a bigger size which is the one I got and it's only £10. I love the packaging for this because it looks so Christmassy and the Pom Pom is really soft.

Thank you for reading todays blog and I hope you enjoyed it.

Clothes haul.

Hello so over the last couple of weeks I have bought some more clothes so I thought I'd tell you about them.
So the first thing is this pink sweatshirt from topshop. I am obsessed with this I love it so much. I have the tshirt in this in white so when I saw this I had to get it. This was £30 but is so worth it because it's really comfy and looks amazing.
The next thing I got was this Tommy Hilfiger tshirt from urban outfitters for £35. This is definitely the most expensive tshirt I own but it looks so nice I couldn't resist. The quality of this is so so good and I really like the design and fit.
Next I have this tshirt which is by a singer called Sarah close. I have recently been obsessed with her music and so when I saw this tshirt I had to get it because it looks so nice. This was £18 which is quite pricey but again the quality is amazing and it's so soft.
Finally I got this white jumper from new look for £14.99. This jumper is so soft and comfy which is really good for this time of year. This is really good for the price and I would definitely recommend looking at new looks jumpers.

Youtubers you need to watch part 1.

Hello so today I am going to be telling you about a few of my favourite youtubers because I haven't done one of these blogs in a while and I always like to try and watch new people on YouTube.
So the first youtubers are the sacconejolys. The sacconejolys are a family of 5, Jonathan, Anna, Emilia, Eduardo and Alessia. They have been my favourite youtubers for so many years now, I think maybe 3 or 4 years which is crazy. They post new videos everyday at 6pm over on their vlogging channel and I have watched every single video since I have subscribed because they are so funny and entertaining.
They have a 2018 calendar coming out which you can pre order now. I have got their calendars for the past three years now and they have all been really good.
Also they have a children's book which will be published later this month which I'm so excited for because they are going on tour too which means I finally get to meet them after so many years of just watching them on a screen. I'm so so excited. I would definitely recommend you subscribing to their channel.
The next youtuber is Hannah Renee who posts beauty and fashion videos. I have only recently started watching her but I really like her videos. She is also throwing a Christmas party in December which I was lucky enough to get tickets for. The tickets sold out in about 3 minutes! You should definitely go and check out her channel.
Next is Saffron Barker. I have been loving all of Saffrons videos recently, especially her vlogs. I have been watching her videos for almost half a year now and she puts so much effort into every video she uploads. She also has a book which I am reading at the moment and it's so good. She also has a new primark range coming out later this month.

Thank you for reading todays blog and I hope you enjoyed it.

September favourites.

Hello so as today is the last day of September I thought I'd do a blog about things I have been loving this month.
First is this red puffer coat from urban outfitters. This is the comfiest, biggest cosiest coat ever. I love this so much and it's definitely worth the £76 I paid for it. I would definitely recommend this coat if you are looking for a big warm winter coat.
The next thing is the fenty beauty foundation. I got this a few weeks ago and I have already done a review on it but I thought I'd mention it again because I love it so much. It has a really matte finish and stays that way all day which I love because of my oily skin. This is £26 so a bit more pricey but it's definitely worth it.
Next is music. There are 4 songs I have really been loving this month. They are call me out by Sarah close, needed me by Rihanna, too good at goodbyes by Sam smith and dusk till dawn by zayn and sia. I have been obsessed with all of these songs and I've been playing them on repeat.
The next thing I've been really liking is the gold magic perfume that little mix made. I got this for my birthday a few years ago but I've recently started wearing it again and I really like it.
Finally I have two food items.
The first one is strawberry pencils. I am obsessed with strawberry pencils and I could eat so many of them.
The final thing is the new walkers lime and black pepper crisps. These are so nice but are only out for a limited time unless they get voted in.

Thank you for reading todays blog and I hope you enjoyed it.

Colourpop cute af yes please eyeshadow palette review.

Hello so today I'm going to be doing a review on the colour pop yes please/cute af palette.
I ordered this palette about a month ago and I have been wearing it so much. Even though this is from America it didn't take long too arrive and the shipping wasn't too expensive either.
The pallett was $16 and shipping was $10 but you get $5 off when you sign up so it cost me about £16 altogether which is really good. The packaging for this is really nice and simple and I like how it is magnetic closing too.
I love every shade in this palette and you can create so many different looks with it. Another thing I love is that it is so pigmented so you don't need a lot. The glitter shades aren't as pigmented as I would like but I don't know if I just think that because I am used to wearing nyx glitter pigment.
 My favourite shades are big cocktails, spoiled, mischief, chauffeur and butter cake. I really like all of these colours together and they blend really easily.

This palette is only available for a limited time I think which is a shame because it would be good for all year round, especially autumn and summer.

Thank you for reading todays blog and I hope you enjoyed it.

Fenty beauty foundation.

Hello so yesterday I bought one of the new foundations by fenty beauty so I thought I'd do a review about it.
Rihanna came out with a new beauty range called fenty beauty to go with her clothing line and shoes.
She's released a few different products such as highlighters, contour sticks, foundations, lip glosses and primers bit I got the foundation.
There are 40 different shades of her new foundation and I got the shade 150. This shade is perfect for my skin tone. When you first apply it, it looks slightly too light but it does oxidise a bit so it matches really well.

This is really easy to apply and I would recommend using a brush as you get a better coverage ( I use the spectrum one).
The packaging for for this is really nice and the bottle is matte with a white lid and a white pump.

The foundation has a matte finish and is very good for if you have oily skin like me because it stays matte all day and covers pores. It is quite pricey at £26 but I think it's worth the money as you get good coverage, it stays matte all day and you get 32ml.

I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for a good matte high end foundation.

Thank you for reading todays blog and I hope you enjoyed it.

Clothes haul.

Hello so today I am going to be telling you about some of the clothes I have recently bought as I haven't done a haul in a while.
So the first thing is this missguided x barbie t shirt. This was £18 and I absolutely love it. The material feels so nice and it's really comfy because it's oversized. In real life the colours are a little bit darker than the photo but it still looks really nice. This is completely sold out at the moment but there are still other items from the range available and I'm sure they'll be restocked.
The next thing I got was this ciao Bella t shirt from topshop for £18. I love this so much and the material is really nice too. I like to tuck this into black shorts and wear it with a denim jacket.
Next is this coral pink t shirt from asos with black and white rope in the side. I wasn't sure of this at first but it was in the sale for £9 so I got it and I really like it. It's very comfortable and it is just the right length for a crop top.
Finally I got a red hoodie from primark for £8. This is the most comfortable hoodie I've ever had and it's so warm inside. It's a really good price and I would definitely recommend it. All I would say is wash it first otherwise you end up with red fluff all over what ever you wear underneath it!

The best restaurants in Madeira.

Hello so last week I did a blog about some of the best cafes to go to in Madeira so I thought this week I would do a blog about the best restaurants.
So the first one is called casa das espetadas which is a really nice outdoor kebab restaurant. The food here is incredible and i would love to go here again. You chose what meat you have and they hang it down from the table and all the food comes with it. You get traditional maderian bread with garlic butter, salad, chips, potatoes, octopus, olives, cheese and there's always some traditional singing/ dancing on.
The next place which I loved too is called leenos. In here you can get meat which you can cook on a hot stone in front of you. I had spaghetti bolognaise which was amazing and it has outside seating which you can see the sea from and all the staff here are very nice too.
Finally is mamma mia which is an Italian restaurant. Italian food is my favourite so I loved the food here. I had garlic bread and pizza which was honestly the best I've ever had. It's really nice outside in the evening and I would definitely going here if you love Italian food.

The rest of the week when I was there I just stayed in my hotel for tea which was very nice.
I would definitely recommend eating in any of these restaurants.

Thank you for reading todays blog and I hope you enjoyed it.

The best cafes to go to in Madeira.

Hello so a few weeks ago I went on holiday to the pestana Carlton hotel in Madeira and I absolutely loved it. I decided to do a blog about some of the best cafes I went to because google was good for some places but it was quite hard to find some places to try out. I will do one about the restaurants next week.
So the first cafe is called well.com coffee bar and it doesn't look like somewhere I would usually go for but the food is so nice. This cafe mainly sells burgers with traditional bread and traditional chips but I had an omelette which was very nice. There is a lot to choose from here and you can sit outside so it's really nice.
The next cafe is called Barreirnha Bar Cafe. This one has views of the sea when you sit outside and has umbrellas so you don't get too hot. The menu here is really good because you can get sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs paninis etc. I had a vegetarian burger which was very nice and it is quite cheap here too.
Next is A Confeitaria. This cafe is mainly all about the cakes/ dessert. It's so nice I went here twice. They have everything from sausage rolls, sandwiches, traditional Madeiran pastries, cakes, brownies etc. I had sausage rolls, a bueno brownie and a Nutella doughnut which were incredible. This cafe was so cheap too and the staff are nice and helpful. You can also sit out the front.
Finally is Pastelaria e Padaria Momentus which is a cafe at the top of a very steep hill. This is the cheapest out of them all and it has more traditional things therefore not as much choice but it is still really nice. I had a tuna pizza and a bueno brownie. This was only about €5 and you can sit outside too.

Thank you for reading todays blog and I hope you enjoyed it.

Birchbox August 2017.

Hello so today I'm going to be telling you what I got inside this months birchbox.
This is what I got. I really like the box because it looks like a mermaid, the colours are really nice, I like the shiny gold and the boxes are like draws so you can display them and it's really easy to get into them.

The first thing everyone gets inside is a full size spectrum contour brush. You get a choice between two different colours/ designs or you can get a random one. I couldn't decide so I said surprise me. I got this one which looks so nice and it's called glam cam. I love this brush because it's really good for blush, bronzer or contour and it's really soft too.

Next I got a full size LOC eyeshadow stick in the shade out of your shell. This is really nice as a base shade or for the inner corners of your eye.

Then I got a NUXE oil shimmer. You can use this on your face, body or hair and it smells really good. I haven't tried it in my hair but I like it to put on as a highlighter or on your arms to make you look more shimmery.

Next I got a yes to tomatoes detoxifying charcoal paper mask. I haven't had the chance to try this one yet but all you do is put it on your face for 10 minutes and then take it off like a normal face mask.

Finally I got a sugar texturising hair spray. I really like this because you can spray it into wet or dry hair and it makes your hair have a natural wave. My hair is already naturally wavy but it makes it look less frizzy.

Overall I'm really impressed with everything I got in this months birchbox and I would definitely recommend looking into getting one.

Zoella jelly and gelato beauty range.

Hello so the other day when I went shopping I bought some of zoellas new beauty range so I thought I'd do a review of it.
These are the three things I bought. It was 3 for 2 so I got one of them for free.
The first thing I got was the gelat'eau body mist. At first I didn't really like the smell because I thought it smelt a bit like bubble mixture but now I love it. It smells like elderflower so it's really fresh and is nice to spray in your room or on yourself. This was £8 which I think is really good because it stays on all day.
The next thing I got was the shower shake body wash. I love the packaging for this because it looks like an ice cream. This is weird because you can't really see it when you're washing yourself with it but it feels really nice because it also moisturises your skin. This was £6.
The last thing I got was the cream scrub body scrub which was £8. I really like this because it is orange which is one of my favourite colours and it smells good too. This works really well and the smell stays all day.

Thank you for reading todays blog and I hope you enjoyed it.

Random haul.

Hello so today I went shopping and bought a few things so I thought I'd do a blog post about what I got.
So the first thing I got was this white Bardot top from Zara for £5.99. I really like this because it was really cheap and fits really well. Also the material feels really good so I'm looking forward to wearing this.
The next thing I got was purple kinetic sand from the entertainer for £3.20. I've wanted kinetic sand for a while now because I find it really satisfying and I like cutting it with cookie cutters and a knife.
I also got a pack of tools to go with it for £2 from the entertainer so I had more things to do with the sand.
Then I went to boots and got a coconut infusion nail varnish from Barry m in the shade flip flop. I really like the colour orange and this was only £4.99 so I got one.
Finally I got a matte top coat by Barry m for £2.99. I love this because it's just a normal top coat but it makes any nail varnish matte so you don't have to buy matte nail varnishes.

Thank you for reading todays blog and I hope you enjoyed it.

Holiday clothes haul.

Hello so today is my second day of my holiday in Madeira so I thought I'd do a blog post about some of the things I bought for my holiday.
(Sorry this blog is a day late I couldn't get the wifi in the hotel to work properly.)
So the first thing I got was this pink and white stripy dress from forever 21. This was £11 which is definitely such a good price because this dress is so comfy to wear, it's good quality amd lightweight and you can wear it at day time or in the evening.
The next thing I also got from forever 21 was this orange men's tshirt for £7.70. I actually didn't realise it was men's until I got it home but I absolutely love this. I wear it as a t-shirt dress because I got it in an extra small and it is the right size for a dress. I also think it looks nice because the sleeves are longer than a normal t-shirt and I love the colour orange. It is really good to put on over a swimming costume or to wear out during the day.
The next thing I got was a swimming costume from m&s for £19.50. I really like this swimming costume because it's in my two favourite colours, orange and pink, and it is halter neck which I like better than a normal swimming costume. It fits really well and is very good quality which means it's comfortable so I would definitely recommend it.
Next I got a black pair of lace cotton shorts from primark for £5. These look really nice and are really comfy and good to wear over a swimming costume or to walk around in at day time.
Finally I got this pair of sunglasses from primark for only £3! I love primark sunglasses because they are extremely cheap, they look really nice and they last quite a long time.

Thank you for reading todays blog and I hope you enjoyed it.
