I finally got my hands on the beaut Violet Voss Holy Grail palette. I saw it last year on a random makeup page on instagram and I instantly fell in love with it. I knew I had to have it. I tried different ways to get it and they all fell through or I'd missed out on it.
This is by far my favourite palette I own, it was well worth £45. I've seen people sell them on ebay and depop for twice the price.. I waited until BeautyBay restocked it and like I said before, I was lucky enough to get my paws on it. It seems that I was fortunate enough to get the new packaging - I've heard a few rumours about the old packaging getting dirty easily.
This is the first product from Violet Voss that I've tried and I'm super impressed, I can't wait to try out more products from them. I love the texture of the eyeshadows, they aren't too chalky or too soft.
After doing a lil bit of research about them I found out that this palette is cruelty free! There isn't a colour in the palette that I wouldn't wear. My favourite shade has to be Wine N Dine, I can't wait to do a look with it. All shades are highly pigmented even the shimmers.
When I've experimented with the colours in this palette a bit more I'll definitely create a blogpost on a look for you all.
Let me know if you've tried this palette out or any other Violet Voss products below!

Hoola on the Left - Urban Decay Beached Bronzer on the Right.
I was gifted both of these bronzers for my birthday and I'm in love with both of them.
I have used the Benefit Hoola bronzer before and I used every bit of it! My mum got me the smaller size Hoola bronzer which is super cute but inconvenient, you can't really use a big fluffy brush with it. The perfect brush for it is the Real Techniques 301. Hoola is more brown-y toned than the Urban Decay Beached Bronzer, it works as a good contour colour for me. The smaller Hoola works out at around £10 and the bigger one works out at around £23.
I originally asked for the Urban Decay Beached Bronzer because I loved the packaging, always a big part when I'm online shopping for Make-Up. It also has a big mirror in, which is always a plus. I was using this to contour but I realised I was going to use it all up within a few months and I really didn't want that to happen! So I now use it to bronze up my face and neck/chest. I'm extremely pale (which I've mentioned before) and this seems to give me that 'colour' I need. I love the size of this product, It's big enough to use a big fluffy brush and that's what I find best to give my skin some colour. This product was £20.
I recommend both bronzers for different reasons. Hoola for the pricing of the smaller one, (it has a small mirror in so you could throw it in your bag for on-the-go) but Urban Decay for the product as a whole. The packaging might of pulled it out of the bag for the Beached Bronzer.
If you've tried either of these products, let me know what you like about both of them!

So.. a couple weeks back I made a few purchases on the Superdrug website.
This palette was one of my many purchases. Am I pleased with it? Heck Yes!! I saw it and instantly fell in love with the palette. I also noticed near enough straight away that it was a complete dupe for the Naked 3 palette. I love the Naked palettes but I'm not 100% sure I want to spend nearly £40 on something I'll wear once in a while. When I saw this I had to get it. It was only £4, bargain! The colour pay off is amazing. I can wear these eye shadows all day and they don't crease. As soon as I tried it I knew I had to do a blog post on it. I'm totally in love with my purchase and for £4 you can't go wrong! If you would like any swatches etc just leave a comment and I'll get right on it.
You can buy it here

Another Wishing Weekly for you today, Hope you enjoy or even get inspo from it.
First thing I'm lusting over this week is fully Black Converse, I have fully white, white & black, white & burgundy and white & navy. I love wearing converse, you can either dress them up or dress them down and I love it!
The second thing on my wishlist this week is the 90s crop tops, they're the cutest thing I've seen. Hoping to get my paws on some of these this month.
The third thing I'm hoping to snatch this week is the new Daisy range by Marc Jacobs, It's such a lovely smell. If you get chance to have a sniff, do so!
I need some Zoeva brushes in my life, I don't know when I'll be able to get them but hopefully this month! Pay day hurry up!! :-)
Macs Huggable lip colours are the best, I love the colours. If I'm able to get one I'll do a review for you all.
All photos are found on either the product website or google.

I'm so sorry I haven't posted in 20+ days, I promise there is a valid reason. I've started my final major project for my Art class and It's very difficult to balance everything with my major project going on too. So I'm sorry and I will be on track again soon. When? I don't know but It will!
I thought I'd do a Wishing Weekly as I haven't done one in a while and its time I did one. So here we go.
The first thing on my list is Bioderma, everyone is raving about it and I really want to see what the hype is about it. I just wish it was easier to find over here in the UK.
The second thing I want this week is MAC eyeshadow in the colour Sketch, It's such a lovely winter shade (or autumn) I think it would go well with my eye colour, If I buy myself a palette I will most definitely be buying this to go in it!
The third thing I am lusting over this month is the Black cut out boots from Newlook, they're stunning. GIMME!
Pandora rings.. who doesn't love a Pandora ring??? They're so beautiful and dainty I really want them before the valentines season is over!
The last thing on my wishing weekly is the Pastel Yellow Statchel, I already have a fluorescent yellow one but for the spring/summer I really want a pastel one.
Links as usual are under the 1,2,3,4 and 5! All photos are found on either the website or google.

We've come to the end of another month again and its time for my monthly favourites so here we go!
This is everything I've been loving in December.
The first thing I've been loving this month is the Justin Bieber Girlfriend perfume, I usually get a new celebrity perfume for Christmas and I still had half of this bottle left so I tried to use it up so that I could make way for my new celeb perfume and I realised how much I actually liked it so now I'm trying to savor every bit of it! I may just have to re-purchase.
The second thing I've been loving this past month is dry hair shampoo, I don't use this as a 'quick way to wash your hair' kind of product I use it for more volume although my hair is very very very thick.. my hair is also very long so it goes flat super quickly, I love this floral-y sort of scent so I got one to put in my bag as a as-you-go product. I highly recommend this scent.
The next thing I'm lusting over this month is having some 'me' time. December is a very busy month for me.Yes, I have two weeks off from sixth form but I still go to work and do extra shifts and have sixth form work to finish etc so whenever I've been able to have an hour or two off I'll grab a Bath Bomb, a book and a candle. Last month I was reading The Perks Of Being A Wallflower but this month I've decided to start reading 14,000 Things To Be Happy About, I enjoy seeing other people happy so I thought surely I'd enjoy this book and I'm sure I'd relate to some of them!
This is a strange way to start a new favourite paragraph but I have small/short nails naturally but this month I've had acrylics on to help me grow my natural nails and personally I think rings with longer nails look so much nicer than my short horrible nails so the last time I grew my nails I got some Midi Rings and then stopped growing my nails so I stopped wearing them but now that I've got acrylics on.. out come the rings. (I got to the point in the end) I've been loving wearing Midi Rings this month, they're so cute!
The last thing I've been loving this month is Dollie Pumps, I'm usually always wearing converse, vans or boots etc but this month (despite the cold) I've loved wearing Dollie Pumps. I have this exact pair in tan (as shown above) and in Black Suede. I love them so much they're so cute. I need to get myself some more!

Just a quick Haul post for you from what I got at the Clothes Show Live 2013.
Part Two.
Models Own Goody bag - £10
Included:
With the Models Own Goody Bag you originally had to pick 3 nail polishes and then you had a little gift bag in there that included the buff it nail file, 3 eye pencils, a dazzle dust eye shadow, applicators and a bubblegum lip balm.
So Susan & Jelly Pong Pong Gift Bag- £5
Included:
The 'So Susan' and 'Jelly Pong Pong' gift bags were completely random (more of a goodie bag) you saw what was up for grabs but you didn't see what was in the bag until you actually paid and got it, Which I was kind of disappointed in but I later found I could purchase the one that I actually wanted online!
there was also a lip and cheek pencil & a black pencil eyeliner which were not photographed.
(I did get a couple more things from the clothes show but as presents so for obvious reasons, I couldn't photograph them!)
