Zoella Beauty Review!

Zoella. Also known as Zoe Sugg. If you're reading this, I would imagine you would have heard of the Internet starlet, but if in the off chance you haven't, she is the Queen of Youtube. Her YouTube channel 'Zoella', is a place where she uploads beauty, fashion and lifestyle related videos. From makeup tutorials to funny challenges with fellow youtuber friends, she has captured the hearts of millions and has completely captured my very own. I have been watching her videos for what seems like forever, and they really do bring me so much happiness. Zoe was indeed one of the few people who inspired me to make my own YouTube channel, and I could never thank her enough for that. NOW! Away with the cheesiness and onto why we're here! 

Zoe has released seven products as part of her debut beauty range. The collection is mostly related to skincare, which is something Zoe is obviously very passionate about. The packaging of all the products is honestly so cute, rather photogenic and VERY Zoella! 

The Blissful Mistful perfume is a bestseller! When I heard there was going to be a perfume, I was expecting it to be at least £20, but I was pleased and rather delighted to find the perfume only cost £8. The biggest bargain of the century! The perfume has a subtle sweet scent, nothing too over-powering but very girlish. When I first sprayed it, I was instantly reminded of Daisy by Marc Jacobs, a perfume favourite of mine. The bottle is a nice size and very easy to pop in your handbag and carry around with you on your daily travels. I think this would make a perfect gift for Christmas! YES! I said the C word already! 

I am loving the Creamy Madly Dreamy Body Lotion. It's enriched with Vitamin E and Aloe and Shea butter which softens and conditions the body beautifully. I have been applying this to my arms and legs most evenings and it feels fabulous. This big bottle only costs £5, so it's something that cannot be missed! 

The Zoella Fizz Bar was probably the product I was most looking forward to trying. The concept is so unique and great. At first sight it looks like a chocolate bar, allowing you to break off little pieces of the bath bomb easily. It says 1-2 cubes should do it, but for me personally I need to use more to get a decent amount of bubbles in my bath. It smells amazing and it makes your bath water go all white and purifying. This pretty product costs £8. 

My final purchase was the Soak Opera which is a really lovely body wash. I can honestly say this is my favourite product from the collection. It smells LUSH and once again it feels really nice and soothing on the skin. It even leaves a lasting smell of sweetness on your skin when you get out of the bath/shower. It's an amazing size and looks ever so pretty sat on the side of my bath. This product was £5 which again is such an amazing price for such an amazing product! 

Other items in the range include two make-up bags and a candle. I'll definitely be investing in these in the near future! The Zoella Beauty range is available in selected superdrug stores, and is also available on the superdrug and feelunique website. Overall I am SO happy with my buys and would definitely recommend her products and re-purchase my buys in the future. I am so proud of Zoe and I can't wait to see more exciting things for her unfold. 

Thanks for reading!

Meeting The Saturdays and Outfit Of The Day

Last week on Wednesday 10th September, something VERY exciting happened. It was something that I have waited years for and will remember forever. It marked the day I got to meet five of my favourite ladies, Frankie Bridge, Mollie King, Una Foden, Vanessa White and Rochelle Humes - also known as The Saturdays! I met them at their concert, which honestly was incredible. They performed all of their Greatest Hits and being sat front row meant we got lots of little smiles and waves from the girls. They were all incredibly sweet and so, SO kind. I remember hugging Mollie, congratulating Una on the news of baby number two and wishing Frankie good luck for strictly come dancing! Vanessa also said she loved my outfit (along with another random stranger) which really made me happy as I had thought long and hard about every little detail. 

My outfit is practically all from Coast. My top is a very vibrant knit top which I am really looking forward to wearing throughout Autumn/Winter. Might I add it feels SO lovely! The emerald green pencil skirt happens to be my favourite item in my wardrobe. The yellow lace ties in nicely with the top I'm wearing and the jewels on the skirt are perfectly coordinated with the green jewels on my necklace. The skirt is a limited edition piece so if you want it, grab one NOW! It isn't cheap, but it's nice to treat yourselves every one in a while. My shoes are Carvela by Kurt Geiger, and honestly they are super comfy! I wear them to work as well as going out and I'd go as far as saying they could be my favourite shoe. They were well worth every penny! 

Meeting them was one of the best experiences of my life and it's definitely something I can tick off my bucket list. Mission accomplished.

Get The Look: Zoella

Today I thought I would blog about my latest Get The Look video that I uploaded over on my YouTube channel. I was inspired by the amazingly awesome youtuber and fellow blogger Zoella to recreate her daily look as she really has become a fashion icon for young people around the globe. 

My makeup consists of a few products Zoe loves and uses herself. For example, The Body Shop All in One BB cream is a must-have, particularly if you're in school or wanting to wear minimal/natural makeup. For my eyes, I used the Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette, again, a favourite of Zoe's. The palette is full of lots of warm tones that will be perfect for autumn/winter. On the lips, I have used one of Zoe's favourite lipsticks, the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in the shade "107". Though it's a matte lipstick, it isn't drying in the slightest, and honestly, I love it SO much. Currently it is my favourite red lip product. 

Zoe's hair is long, ombré and full of beautiful, bouncy loose-curls. I didn't really have the proper equipment to create those gorgeous waves, so I decided to fasten the top half of my hair into a bun, a look Zoe has been doing a lot in her most recent videos. 

The outfit is exciting as Zoe actually has this dress (and guys I did buy it first)! This River Island dress is obviously perfect for this Zoella look. Not only does she have it, it has a collar, and pretty much anything with a collar will be Zoey approved. I paired it with my much-loved black leather Warehouse jacket, which makes the outfit slightly less girly. For the first time in a long time I put on some tights, and finally I wore my Topshop Chelsea boots which have honestly lasted me so well. 

I think this look is actually a perfect look for winter, with the tights, boots, red lip and all. I really enjoyed recreating her look! If you haven't seen the video, you can check it out here: http://youtu.be/coWwtp6tTds

Get The Look: Emma Watson

Last week I uploaded a video on my YouTube channel about how to look like Emma Watson (or at least try to copy that perfection). I thought it was a good idea to write about the look also! 

My makeup wasn't full coverage as Emma always has more of a natural, flawless finish. On the eyes, I used a black eyeshadow from Urban Decay as my liner, achieving my long lashes using the Benefit They're Real mascara, which is excellent at adding volume and separating your lashes. I didn't particularly contour in this look. I just used my no7 blusher in the shade "Romantic" which is a beautiful peachy colour. My lipstick is from the amazing Kate Moss Rimmel collection (one of my absolute faves), in the shade 107. Emma loves to have a bold lip, as seen in the picture above. 

My hair is all down to my brother who is excellent at all things hair. It's quite complicated to explain but not too challenging to do (well it is for me who can barely put my hair into a ponytail!) I'll just say, watch the video which will be linked below (shameless self promotion there). We decided to put our own twist on the hair. Emma loves her curls, braids and her legendary, statement quiff, so we contributed the three things together to achieve this hairstyle! 

I absolutely LOVE the outfit. I think it's very classy and very Emma! Firstly, I took my white Warehouse blouse and tucked it into my River Island Jeggins. Already, without the Warehouse blazer, I think this is a super cute look! Adding the blazer just makes it a bit more mature and smart. The shoes are my favourite item, as they are Christian Loubitons! Sadly, they don't belong to me and are from my mums wardrobe (also far too small for me), but the stiletto style heel was perfect for this classy look and I like how the red sole tied in with my lip colour.

Huge Beauty Haul

Oops, I did it again! I may have a few new products in my makeup drawer after last weeks makeup splash-out. Though I don't feel too guilty as it has been a while since I went out and bought new makeup instead of picking up the odd product or two. I expect product reviews will be on the horizon, but for now, here's a little bit about my new buys...

1) Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet "03- Hot Pepper" - I finally decided to grab one of these revolutionary lip products as currently they are a lip product must-have! All beauty bloggers rave about how great and striking these lipsticks are, and I love a good matte lipstick for winter, especially one that isn't drying! I'm excited to try this out, and for £8.99 I imagine you can't simply go wrong! 

2) Soap & Glory Wonderbronze - This is actually my first S&G product which really excites me! I thought this bronzer looked absolutely gorgeous. It's full of sparkly pigmentation and I love the colour scheme. I have never been one to wear a sparkly (relatively powdery) bronzer, so I'm looking forward to trying this one. The mirror, might I add, is a fantastic mirror, and well..I love a good mirror! This cost me £11. 

3) MUA Eyeshadow Palette "Undressed" - As a lover and constant user of the Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette, I fancied a little change and this MUA palette really caught my eye. I really like the colour scheme and think it's a great Autumn/Winter palette full of lovely warm tones. I can't comment on what it's like, but for £4 I thought it would be worth trying out.

4) Bourjois 1 Second Nail Polish Remover - This product I will either love or hate. It's supposed to remove your nail polish in a second, just by dipping your finger into the bottle and it's contents. I have seen numerous videos where this works amazingly and I've yet to try it out. For £4.99 I thought it was a must-have! 

5) The Body Shop Honey Bronzer - This is yet another product everyone is raving about at the minute. I have used this product and honestly I love it! It's a matte bronzer and I think it looks so elegant on the skin. It's around the £12 mark I believe. Great and affordable. 

6) The Body Shop All In One BB Cream - This is a favourite of mine and was simply a stock-up. I've been loving wearing this over the Summer as it feels really light on the skin. Be warned.. it isn't high on coverage, but with the right amount of concealer it gives a nice flawless finish. This is £12. 

7) The Body Shop Brush On Highlight - This highlighter is like no highlighter I have ever seen before, and the concept is totally new to me! The container holds within it small pearls, of various lovely colours. You dip your brush into the pearls, pop it onto your cheeks or your designated area and boom! You'll be a shimmering highlighted Queen! This cost me around £14 I believe. 

8) The Body Shop Blusher - Finally, I picked up a gorgeous pink blusher. It really caught my eye as the shimmer brick is full of various pinky tones which together, work really well. I have also used this as an eye shadow, taking out the various shades I wanted. And I love a product where you can use it for multiple purposes. This was £16.

Holiday Outfit #2

So this post is all about a tropical green themed playsuit I have been loving wearing, which is from Oasis. The shortsy playsuit is perfect for Summer, and I love the little green belt that it comes with. I paired it with some Carvela sandals by Kurt Geiger, which I have to say are the comfiest shoes ever! My rings are from Topshop, and my sunglasses are warehouse. I love this look and I definitely think it's one of my favourites of this Summer!

Holiday Outfit #1

I've decided to make a little blog series where I write about a few of my holiday outfits! 

Today's look has to be one of my favourites. I bought both the Zara parka styled jacket and green jeans on holiday. The jacket is not only incredibly comfortable, I also feel really nice when wearing it, and that is essentially what is important. The fur collar makes the look very chic and also quite editorial. I paired my Zara purchases with a white lacy tee from the Oasis Loved By Mollie collection, which I wear TOO much. I forgot to take a picture of my shoes (bravo Kiera), but on my feet I was wearing a pair of black Toms, AKA the comfiest shoes ever. The snake bracelet I have mentioned in a previous post. It was from a quirky, little non-descript jewellery shop and I love it A LOT. My hair is naturally straight, but it was curled using a babyliss hair curler.
