The other day a photo popped up on my Instragram of some pretty rings which led me to discover a new website called Lyla Loves which sells cute jewellery at a very reasonable price. I couldn't resist ordering a few pieces to add to my collection. A girl can never have too much jewellery, right? They're all different, I promise!...

After seven years at my school (a disturbingly large proportion of my life!), I finally had my last day there. But before we all rushed terrifyingly into two months of sporadic exams to hit our offers, we had a final day of fun! Disney Day! We took over the school with our childhood stories and dressed up as the familiar characters we all know and love.
Obviously, my choice was Mulan!
So today I'm sharing with you how I did my makeup on the day to recreate this fearsome warrior of China! (Reference Photo)
As I'm typing this up, I realise that I forgot to add my concealer and brow pencil into the mix (sorry!) but I used my Fit Me Concealer in 10 and Rimmel London Professional Eyebrow Pencil in Black/Brown. Please also ignore the disaster that was the spot on my cheek, I tried my best!

Hi guys! If you haven't worked it out by now... I'm a nail polish addict.
I purchased a Tanya Burr nail polish in the shade Penguin Chic a while ago and loved the formula but couldn't justify getting any more when they're priced at £5.99 each and I already own so many lovely polishes.
However, last week I got an email telling me that Tanya Burr lipglosses and nail polishes were now being stocked on my new favourite discount beauty website so of course I had to check it out.
I couldn't resist their prettiness and almost one coat formula, especially at only £1.50 each!

From a recent FragranceDirect order, I picked up one of the Calvin Klein Delicious Luxury Creme lipsticks in Ethereal after hearing so much about them! It was super cheap for just £1.99 but with a designer name attached!
The first thing I noticed was how similar this lipstick looked in the tube to one of my other pinky nudes - Lancôme L'Absolu Rouge in 06 Rose Nu, which I absolutely adore!
Since both aren't exactly drug store products - retailing at ~£13 and ~£21 - a comparison seemed like the obvious next step!
