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

Loosing Matt.... 6 Months On

Hey...

I was going to do a little what I bought make up and clothes post but instead I thought I would update of the the last 6 months and what it has been like..... I am going back to the post I wrote 'Loosing Matt'.
6 Months has passed since I wrote the post and 6 months has passed since he went away, never to return. The hardest half a year I have experienced that's for sure. No one really talks about it any more, like its gone and forgotten. But for me it never really is. Yeah time makes things seem easier but the guy was one ( I have two Matt and Chloe) of my best friends. Do you know how hard it is loosing your best friend and having to carry on your everyday life without them being at the end of a phone or text away.
 Since that day I swear I have had more things going on in my life than ever and I don't have Matt to turn to, give me the advice he always gave me,sometimes its was bad and I mean bad but most the time I listened. Everyday there is something that has happened that makes me want to pick up my phone and text him *drama queen I know* .There is something about having a guy best friend that is different to a female best friend and anyone that has one will know what I mean. They make fun of you but they help you more than girls will sometimes and it always nice to have the guys point of view of certain things. 

When I go running or on my own I always have little thoughts of what it would be like if he was still around like would he be with me talking of all the things we were going to do in the future, or him laughing at me as I am trying to run my best. What his thoughts are on me FINALLY applying to University? Telling people how I feel? Living my life the way I had been talking to him about for the past 7 years? So many questions... So many unanswered questions :(

My life has changed since August because I don't have Matt around any more. It is like starting all over again. Changing things what I have been so used to for the past 7 years. I wouldn't say it's like a routine our friendship as we always argued over the stupidest little things. We were so different but that is what made our friendship. I trusted him with my life and I can safely say he would say the same about me.  How many people in your life can you honestly and truthly say that about someone?! 

All the first's without him :( 
Christmas time was tough! Real tough. I hid it well from my friends and family as I didn't want to ruin it for them but I cried a couple of times and I even wrote letters to Matt telling him how much I hated him for not being on my doorstep Christmas Eve and the fact I carried my phone around all day Christmas Day waiting for a phone call and the text when the Christmas Dr Who special to come on. Of course none of these things happened :( .
 New year comes around and of course I cried like a baby as I never wanted 2015 to come around as I didn't want to leave Matt in 2014 while I went on into 2015. I HATE that I have to say that he passed last year, I hate having to say it at all but ya know!
 Then we have my up and coming birthday another first for me JOY!! He has been by my side since my 17th birthday watched me throw up, dance on tables, get banned from clubs and certain food places, to walking me home listening to me moan about some guy or other or even held my hair back while i puked * nice image for you there* but that was my best friend. May I also add I did the same to him not the holding hair back but watched him do ALOT of foolish things. Right old pair!!
So this is the first without him. 

I know there are plenty more first to come along in the next 6 months but I am ready to deal with them and face them. But I just want to say it is bloodly hard loosing someone like that and I would never ever wish it on a single person. 
I wish people would talk about him more or let me talk about him more I feel like sometimes I want to say something but I don't want people to feel bad or sorry for me. I've had enough of the sad and pity faces now. Just let me talk about him every now and then and laugh at something. He may be gone but he has been a HUUUUGGGGGEEEE influence on my life in life and in his death. I look at things so different now. 

He would sooo be laughing at me right now as I am crying just writing about all this and expressing my feelings and he will be saying " You're such a girl, you need to man up" such a DICK sometimes.


I am not going to apologize for this post as well I wanted to update you all on the whole 'Loosing Matt' and I wanted to get my feelings and words out there :) 

Thanks for reading :)
XOXO

Blogging/Vloggin

Hello blogging friends....

I thought today I would share my plans on the whole vlogging. This scares me SOOOOO freakinnn much but I want to do it so much. I am doing this for myself and not really anyway. I am turning 25 soon... Oh gosh I have just realised it is March now so it is next month *sickface* anyway.. I have quite a few things exciting that is going on this year and I thought I would get the camera out and film all the funny and amazing times I am going to have with my family and friends. I mean the videos won't be great, especially the first couple as I am a newbie and getting a camera out is not for everyone but I am going to give it a bloodly good try. 
Basically I want to remember the year I turn 25 I mean I have done a good job getting this far in life, Quarter of a century of over * woop woop* an achievement right there.

I am going to make it a monthly thing so at the end of the month I will mash up all the good, bad and funny moments and make one long *might be short* video. 

Wish me luck as I feel like I need it and let me know if you'll be interested in seeing the videos as I don't know what I am going to do with them yet. I might just put them on my blog or shall I put them on youtube *scary*

Real Techniques Make Up Brushes

This post has been a long time coming as I have used the Real Techniques brushes for a while but its not since I purchased some new brushes *Limited edition* set that I really thought how much I LOVE them and how I probably wouldn't change to just any other set. I use them on a daily basis *which I am sure many of you guys do as well* I have a few of them, not every single one *at the moment anyway* I do need to invest in the complete set. There really is a brush for each part of your face. Just what all us girls needs right?!


Brushes I have an use on a daily basis:
1. Powder Brush.
 The one brush that actually lives in my bag and goes wherever I go. Perfect for a quick powder freshen up. Stop that shiny face.
2. Expect face brush.
Perfect for everyone and so nice putting on your foundation. If you wear foundation this is one for your make up kit.
3. Miracle complexion sponge. Perfect for contouring and the tips can be used to cover them imperfections.
Nic's Picks limited edition kit:
1. Duo fibre face brush
2.Cheek brush 
3. Angled shadow brush 
4. Base shadow brush
5. Eye liner brush 

I seriously recommend everyone and anyone to use these brushes *the whole range* whether you are just starting using make up and trying to find the brushes for you to the make up artist out there. They are soft of the skin, beautifully designed each brush has a different colour handle for the part of the face it is used for. You'll never be confused if you are a newbie.

Purple= Eyes 
Pink= Cheeks and Contouring 
Gold/Orange= Foundation, Concealer 

They are a reasonable price and even better if you buy on line www.realtechniques.com then if you were to go into a shop. Starting from £3.90 to £6.50 these are for the single products. There are some sets on the site which again would work out a bit cheaper than if you bought individually and these are £11.70 and they contain 4/5 brushes.

Most recently the real techniques girls have realised a new line of brushes that are slightly on the more expensive side and I would say more for the make up artist of the world. They are stunning brushes and I would LOVE to have a collection of them but at the same time I would never use them as they are just to beautiful to ruin with make up *yes I know that is what they are meant for* but still. This range is called the Bold Metals Collection. I would highly recommend if you love make up and brushes head over to the site and just have a little admire at them. *GAAAAH* BEAUTIFUL!!!

Hold you enjoyed this post. I enjoyed writing about this I really thought I lost all motivation in blogging but buying my new brushes made me want to blog them.

Hope you all enjoyed this post
XOXO
