September/Autumn

Summer is finally over, well near enough over and I can not be happier. The months approaching are my favourite. The amount of times I have moaned to my parents about having me in spring is well into the hundreds but nothing we can do about that now.

Things I love about Autumn

Crisp leaves on the floor

 Pumpkin season

Conkers (which remind me of being a kid, conker fight anyone?)

Snuggling in front of the fire

Hot chocolate,Marshmallows and Cream 

Weather change

 HALLOWEEN

 Knitwear

 Dark lipsticks 

 Candles

 The fact Christmas is just around the corner 

X factor returns along with other well known and favourite shows

 Fluffy socks

Darker evenings

Horror films 

Back to school/college/university (yes I was one of those kids that actually wanted to go back to school)

I probably could go on all day here but I think I will leave it there, you get the idea to where I was going with it. This time of the year just makes me all warm and fuzzy which I know many people will disagree as they are all Summer people. But I have never been a summer person.

Okay, so lets talk about summer. I know I have not really posted all summer and for someone that doesn't like it you would of thought I would of blogged more. But I actually went out and enjoyed the summer. Cam honestly say I have done so much the past 3 months and enjoyed being out and about with my friends. So I thought I would simply back away from the laptop and just enjoy life.

But again I am back and looking forward to blogging my life away again,  getting excited for all things Autumn as I know I have a lot planned. Well, like I have said this time of the year I am at my happiest.

First Impressions Of Zoella beauty

I have been a fan of Zoella for quite a few years now so when she was working on secret projects I was always keen on what this may be. Lets face it there was a big stink on her book. Which I own but still struggle to get into. Is this just me? 
When it was announced that it was a beauty range I was a little bit excited as you can imagine what the products were to smell like just by reading her blog or watching her video's.

Quick re-cap for people 

*Blissful Mistful 

*Creamy Dreamy Body Lotion

*Fizz Bar

*Soak Opera Bath Soak/Shower Gel

*2 Different make up bags 

*Let's Glow candle

 Now I can honestly say I only bought two products from the first range which were the candle and the body mist. I LOVED the candle it was nice and fresh smelly perfect for them cold winter nights. The body mist is nice but not something I would wear day in day out. I mean don't get me wrong it is a lovely smell but not for me. I do think maybe this was aimed at the younger/teenage girl rather than the then 24 year old *which is weird as me and Zoe are the same age* The candle has long gone... so are candle's two and three but the body mist is still sitting on my perfume shelve.

Fast forward to July 2015 and there is a new range of Zoella beauty the 'Tutti Fruity Range'  Everyone has yet again gone Zoella mad again but I was lucky enough to find a few product left in my local Superdrug store. Although I am quite sad that there isn't a new candle *yes I am obsessed with candles* the new products that have been introduced are quite exciting.

Tutti Fruity Range

*Fresh Fizz Bath Bar

*Candy Cream Body Lotion 

*Foam Sweet Foam Shower Gel

*Lets Spritz Body Mist

*Scrubbing Me Softly Body Scrub **NEW**

*Kissy Missy Lip Balm **NEW**

*Zoella Cosmetic Purse **NEW**

As I wasn't the best lover of the original range smell I was that crazy person sniffing all the products in the shop. That was a picture and a half if I do say myself.

See I watched Zoe's video where she introduced the new products and I have watched MegSays reaction video and both of them were in love the smell *Zoe may be a bit biased* so I was a little more excited this time round. See I am more of a fruity smelling person. 

Now this my be me but I couldn't smell anything when I opened the package. I never got this amazing whiff of smell so with that I was disappointed. Even so I knew I had to give something a go so I choose the 'Scrubbing Me Softly' and 'Candy Cream'. By the way the packaging of this range is BEAUTIFUL I LOVE the colours and the designs so much more than the original.

So when I got home I was still opening and closing the lids of the products I bought still waiting for this amazing smell that everyone has been raving about. But nope nothing :( So I took a bath. Yep I took a bath just so I can use these products and the fact that I do love a nice long hot bath when I finish work *6am starts are a killer*  

THEN.... when I was using the scrub did it hit me the most amazing smell I have used *swoons* it actually is A-MAZE-ING its so summery, fresh and fruity. Three things that I do love in a bath product. 

The lotion was exactly the same. Once I started using them and rubbing them in the scent was getting stronger. I literally am in love with these two right now. I LOVE soap and Glory body scrubs normally as they are fresh smelling and I know they work. Leaving my skin smelling beautiful. Which is exactly what Zoe's are doing to me. I could smell the scent for hours after using them. Which makes me happy as I know I smell good. So good the bees and wasp's are going to chase me. This is not a good thing as we have a wasp nest right outside our house.... *Off topic Chelsea* 

Anyway, I would recommend these two products to anyone that loves fresh,fruity smells. That smell of Summer which we all love * I don't but I am making an exception this year* 

The scrub cost £7 pounds if I remember correctly and the body lotion was £5 which compared to Soap and Glory is a Bargain.

YSL Babydoll lipstick/blush

I had been eyeing up this lipstick/blush for quite some time. By that I mean about 3 months. I am addicted to the site feelunique, I probably visit the site every day even when I don't have any more I am fully aware I have a problem. When it first caught my eye I feel in love but I didn't feel right spending £28.50 on it. I have bought MAC lipsticks for £15 but I think that is my limit, even that is a bit much but sometimes you have to pay that extra bit for a good quality, something that is going to last longer on the lips.

I adore this this lipstick and I am already thinking of purchasing another one in a different colour just so I know I have one for every occasion.. Yes I may have to puchase a couple more but it is worth it. I would recommend to all my friends and family. That includes all you beauty bloggers out there.
I have number number 3 Rose Libre. It comes in the same packaging as all the other YSL lipsticks and the actual lipstick itself is still the same gold just the the pot is different to the norm.
I would say it stays on your lips for most of the day but like most lip products wears off when drinking or just doing your everyday thing. But the shade is still on your lips just needs a little top up.t doesn't leave the nasty lipstick ring around the edges of your lips either. Which I know many of us girls can relate :)
Lipstick/gloss can sometimes feel like the biggest chore to keep looking nice and fresh all day long so we look for something that is long lasting not just pretty anymore. This certainly does it for me and I will be using on them evenings that are special. It has to be them nights for me with the price that this costs.

Thanks for reading guys 

Please let me know if you own one or even thinking about getting one :)

Can a girl ask a guy out?

I am quite traditional kind of girl and I like being that way BUT there is something I am questioning. Something that has been playing on my mind and that's the whole "Can a girl ask a guy out" or even Can a girl just walk up to a guy and give him her number? 

Many of my friends think I should just bite the bullet and do it. What is to loose they say? My answer he may say "No thanks!" or worse shoot me down there and then. ULTIMATE CRINGE!!

 So there is this guy that is a regular in my work place and I may have had a little tiny *MASSIVE* crush, oh god do people even use that word any more :/ I keep wanting to talk to him and give him my number but little old me has no faith my myself, let alone any confident to do so.
The other thing that has held me back is that EVERYONE in my work place knows and I knows what I am like *cue old post BLUSHING AND FLUSHING* I have no control over it when I am talking to someone I really and I mean REALLY fancy. I know this is said to be cute *quote by a guy friend of mine* but is it though... I mean I wouldn't really have to say anything as my face clearly would do the talking.

But then again am I just blushing and flushing because everyone I work with knows and is watching intensley? I honestly don't know what to do or handle the situation. I really don't want to come across desperate and needed. Any guys out there reading my blog want to lend there opinion on this would very appreciated :D Not that I don't trust my friend just you never know if he just said that because we are friends. 

Now call me a loser but I have watched YouTube videos on this and read articles and everything seems quite 50/50 which is stupid and not the answer I need right now. I clearly need to get better at flirting and being a girl. Everyone else has it easy in my eyes. Actually I have had it easy as guys have just come to me before *that's not me being all big headed* I have never been the ask-ee and I give it to the guys that pluck up the courage to walk up to a girl, sometimes not even knowing her just meeting across a bar or a coffee shop an talking to her and getting her number. Like, that is some scary stuff and us girls expect you to do it now. That's just how its goes. In the films maybe. Oh Man, why is my life not like a Disney film or one of them Rom-Com's the girl always gets the guy and 9/10 times its the guy that makes the effort. With the girl being super pretty, smart and flirty. 
Where are my flirty skills? I really feel like I have lucked out of things *I blame my parents* 

So do I stick with tradition and try my hand at some flirting techniques away from the eyes of EVERYONE or do I just grow some *female* balls and just walk up to him and give him my number * maybe run away after* I am joking!

HELP!!!!!

Thanks for reading and please leave some comments on your opinions on this as I am really in a little pickle :(

Beauty Con London

I recently went to BeautyCon London. It was a lovely day out with my friend and we bought make up which made the day 10 times better as we are both a bit of make up junkies.
It was in a weird looking building that reminded me a bit of an empty warehouse as even though it was decorated with Beauty Con banners and balloons still looked a bit empty. Not the location I was quite thinking of but then again I don't really know what I was thinking it was to look like.
There was SO many people there, 100's in fact and I think that if the YouTuber's werent there most of them wouldn't be there. Now I am not saying that to be mean. But in my honest opinion they could of done so much more there. More make up stands, more crazy photo booths so there wasn't an hour's wait for the ONE that was there. Even more seats so people could listen and watch the beauty panel's. 
Don't get me wrong I loved being there and had a wonderful day I mean what more could a girl ask for playing with make up and listening to her favourite youtuber's talk beauty and spending the day with my friend.
I sadly didn't get to meet any one I would of liked to as the queue's were CRAAAAZY long and I am not a fan of queuing :( but I did get some replies from my favourites on twitter :D 


But here are a few pictures I took from the day...

So I thought I would list a few of my favourite YouTubers here well the ones that were there.

*Fleur De Force 

*Tess Christine 

*Niomi Smart

*Suzie Hello October 

*BeautyCrush 

Guess who's back... With a YouTube video

Hello guys!!

I am back after my little break from all things blogging. I had a serious case of writers block which left me feeling so blah about everything. 
But I think I may be over that. I have written a lot over the last couple of days or so about everyday things *not for blogging i'm afraid* but it really made me realise that I miss this little space on the internet.

Anyway as it is the 1st of the month I thought I would share a little Vlog that I made last month at my bosses wedding reception. I was there with a few of my work pals and YES I was drunk but so was everyone else so it makes it a bit more bearable to watch. I don't regret anything I just think it is one of the funniest things I have seen for a while and I am proud of myself for picking up the camera and shoving it in everyone's faces. May I also add these guys are so supportive of me blogging and vlogging that they do not mind it makes it so much more fun this way.

So here it is my first video on youtube... ENJOY!!!
P.S it would mean the world to me if you can subscribe. I really enjoyed making this one even editing it that I will be making some more on a regular basis I think :) 

Thanks Chelsea XOXO

MAC lipsticks

Guys.. I think I might have a *new* slight obsession with MAC lipsticks. I have always been a fan of the make-up but lately I have found myself on the website everyday putting more and more in my basket. They have such a wide selection that is hard not to find the perfect *all a few* one for you. Now I only bought my first one at the end of last year as I was a fan on lipsticks but I never hardly wore them but now I am obsessed with them and realised how they can change up a classic, casual look to evening party look in seconds. 
Although I am still on the hunt for the perfect RED lipstick for my skin tone.
So I had previously bought 'Girl about the Town' a nice bright pink that I am love wearing and wore it in all the pictures from my birthday weekend.
But I have recently purchased 3 more... literally 3 in the last 2 weeks. I don't think it will stop just yet either not with pay day around the corner and Beauty Con coming up.

So my new purchases are 
Snob.. This is my favourite, its a pinky/purple colour that is perfect for my every day look * I even wore it to work one evening* I love the name as well. Snob is a Satin lipstick and is one of the favourites on the website.

Sweet and Sour.. A perfect orange colour for the spring/summer months. It is a Creamsheen lipstick and is just beautiful. I actually fell in love with this shade whilst on a shopping trip with a friend but put it back as I didn't think it would suit me. 1 week later it was in my hand and on my lips and I don't regret it one bit.

Lastly the one I have wanted for a about a year but always was sold out due to it being a limited edition. Thanks the Emma Willis wearing it took forever to find it. We all know which one I am talking about.

Heroine..This Matte lipstick is a favourite with everyone and I personally think everyone should own it in their lipstick collection. Bright purple it maybe but it will certainly make you stand out from the crowd when you wear it. I am not sure as of yet when I will be wearing it but I can assure you it will be.

Last Swatch is all together. The colours are so different but I do love a wide variety. 

It is not me with this obsession it has seemed that my friend has also become rather addicted to the wonderful world of MAC and has a growing collection... Sorry Kel... Shopping soon though yeah?!

MY BAD!!

Hope you like this post 

See You Soon

XOXO

Lauren Conrad and Minnie Mouse

Good Afternoon my fellow bloggers or readers :)

I was scrolling through my Twitter feed today and happened to come across Lauren Conrad news feed and noticed that she has created a new clothes range based on the Disney character Minnie Mouse. 

Now if you have read the post on 'My Idol' you will know that Lauren is that for me... Her clothes to her style, her hair... I grew up watching Laguna Beach and The Hills * was devastated when she left* and I have just continued to follow her career now she has become a successful designer/author. Then I LOVE Minnie Mouse she is my favourite Disney character and it worries me how much stuff I own that is Minnie Mouse * DO I EVEN CARE, NO* 

So Lauren doing this actually makes me want to cry as I know the collection will just be amazing and stunningly beautiful as is all her collections, Have you seen the Cinderella one *Swoon* 

The downside if you are a UK resident like myself is that is in the Khols store but as far as I am aware you can order online but the shipping price might be a bit pricey... I will be looking into purchasing some stuff I mean what Minnie Mouse/Disney Lover would pass on that opportunity. It excites me so much.

The collection is available from 10th May but some of the pictures for the collection have been released like a little sneak peak on what to expect. So there looks to be 

2 Dresses 

Red skater dress with the iconic Minnie Mouse logo all over 

Navy dress with Polka dots on the peter pan collar and on the bottom skirt 

Classic white T-shirt with the a sliver outline of Minnie Mouse

Red Skater Skirt (Not 100% sure this is part of the collection as of yet)

and my favourite piece

White short sleeve blouse with again the iconic Minnie Mouse print all over it

The price range is $36-$68 which in £'s is about £24-£45 which to be honest is not a bad price at all.

Please leave some comments on your opinion on the newest collection :) 

Thanks for reading guys and girls

Marc Jacobs Limited Edition

This perfume actually makes my life right now.. From the second I saw/was told about this perfume I knew I would just love it. 
Everyone knows about Marc Jacobs amazing bottle designs and this one is no different. But the colours well they are just my favourite colours Pink and Purple. This bottle is your proper girlie girl bottle and I am more than certain that even when the perfume is all gone *which I hope last FOREVER* I will still keeping the bottle for decoration :)
Lets get to the smell.. Well it smells like everyone says its smells fruity/ floral. There are a few sites saying it has hints of raspberries which I am not going to lie did kind of put me off this one but once I smelt it there was no raspberries. Just I don't even know how to describe it just divine. 
If you like quite sweet and floral scents then this is one for you. I have tried most of the Daisy range now and they all have a similar smell in which you can recognise who and what fragrance it is.

Perfume Shop 75ml £49.99 

Worth every single penny! Trust me girls.

Lastly it is a limited edition perfume so who knows when this is going to leave us. Grab it quick!

Thanks for reading :)

Easter, Birthday and McBusted

Hello there blogging friends!

I haven't posted in a while as I kind of got bored with writing what seems to be the same old stuff all the time. I never wanted it to be full of beauty and make up all that jazz. I wanted this little space to be about life, experiences I have had and things I am generally passionate about. I wanted a real life blog something that everyone and anyone can read.
So I don't feel so bad now posting and I am and will be back on track with post whenever I possibly can.

Lets talk Easter,Birthdays and McBusted. I am not sure if you had all known, as I may have mentioned it a few times that my birthday this year feel on Easter weekend. It certainly has it's perks CHOCOLATE being one of them. The other being off work for 5 days straight which was AMAZING!.
Although I was super anxious about the fact that I was turning 25 it turned into being one the best weekends I have had in a very long time. It comes down to my friends and family that's for sure.
So I spent the morning of my birthday at home with the family opening presents, drinking tea *how very English* and singing at the top of my lungs to a birthday playlist. My lovely best friend popped over for a little chat and to help celebrate the day. Which was truly lovely as I don't half see her as much as I would like with me working and her being mum to two beautiful girls that call me 'Aunty Chelsea' so it made my morning an extra bit special.
I then met up with my friend Kelli for a girlie trip to London for a bit of shopping has to be Selfridges buying OF COURSE make up. Going to the Cinderella exhibition, which was basically all the dresses and props used in the new Cinderella film that has recently come out *FYI, I cried TWICE at the film* they were stunning. The blue ball gown dress that Ella wears is just... words can't even describe it. It twinkles when it was twirling around on the stand. 
Lastly, ended the day watching Matilda in the theatre. It was a good show and I recommend it to anyone that loves singing and super catchy songs. It is not the same as the book but then again how can it be the same. It just took me by surprise a little as I have grown up watching the film over and over and over again. I think I was thinking that it was just going to be the same.
Overall it was a good night and was a great day I really enjoyed spending time with friends, shopping and laughing as I feel I haven't laughed that much in a long time.

After my birthday I am normally have a down day as everything just gets to exciting and then its a bit deflating. BUTT this weekend wasn't I woke up even more buzzing as one CHOCOLATE FOR BREAKFAST how can anyone say no to that.... Even better I was going to see McBusted at the 02 in the evening. I have seen the twice last year so I was dying to see them again performing new songs from there album. Someone told me this time last year they would have singles, albums and another tour I would of laughed as I generally thought it was a one time thing and now its just massive. If your my age you have probably grown up with Busted and McFly and cried when Busted split... I think I cried more than James Bourne did and we all know *if your a fan* how much he was upset and sad over it. But then McFly came along and filled that music hole in my chest and now well the UK's number one supergroup.
We were so lucky we had quite good seats. Close to the stage and the OMFG stage so close you could see the sweat on their faces and all their crazy antics.
Ill post some pictures below...

My favourites they performed were "Riding on my bike" if you've seen the show you know how funny the set is for this. "Hate Your Guts" which is just so fast you have to give them props for performing it so well and still being craaaazy and my favourite McBusted song " Beautiful Girls Are The Lonelist" not just because James performs it pretty much on his own but the lyrics are just well.. beautiful.

I got some footage from both days on my trusty camera as well as my birthday meal... Oh the birthday meal let me tell you about that.
Friday before my birthday I was planned a birthday meal with all my work friends which was such a good night. Lets just say there was lots of alchol, lots of video recording, photos, laughing and a Pizza in my lap. I shouldn't be allowed drink sometimes. 
I am going to film the rest of the month *the exciting parts* and mash them in to one video I think until I can get used to this whole vlogging markly so for now there will be month to month vlogs not whenever I go out.

Cocktail Masterclass Fun+ Selfie Stick+7 Girls = Carnage

Evening....

Today I am writing a little fun post about my weekend. I had such a awesome day on Saturday, I say weekend but I only have a one day weekend as I am rather unfortunate that I work Sundays EVERY WEEK.
I don't really go out any more, I used to think it was because I never could afford it but I can its just I don't like the town I live in and well lets just say I had some 'Friend Issues' 
Off topic.... Saturday was friend from works 23rd Birthday and Emily * I know your reading this now* planned a little do for her. In fact it was a Cocktail master class :) Based in Central London (which by the way I LOVE) is a small out of the way building called Revolution. I had never heard of it before but many people we know had and highly recommend it.
I am quite a shy person it is one of the reasons I started blogging and vlogging to build up my confidence so even though these guys are all my friends making a cocktail in front of them all made me nervous its the weirdest and strangest feeling ever and I don't know how to stop it or control it. 
Anyway of topic... I made a Peachy Cheeks cocktail which was so yummy, tasted a bit like a Peach sorbet. I would most certainly having that one again, if only I remembered the ingredients and how to mix it all together *DAMN IT* 

Here are a few pictures, the sensible pictures from the evening :) 

 I do like me some Chocolate Brownie 

 This picture sums the 3 of us I think... Me, Emily and Georgia 

 Selfie Stick Group Photo :)

Me and Georgia 

Whilst out drinking with these beauts I filmed a few little bits and pieces for the first month's vlog but it will be put into my April one :) It is the worlds weirdest and scariest thing ever as people look at you funny and just don't understand why you have a camera pointing at yourself and why your talking to it :/  My friends were understanding I think this night but it helped that everyone was a little bit drunk. 

So to my friends reading this I hope you understand what I am doing and why I am doing. I hope you all don't mind it is a laugh at the end of the day. Also encourage me to do it more as I get bloodly nervous whacking the camera out on my own.

Thanks for reading guys 

XOXO
