Instagram Update
































The Script ticket / The Script / Pre-gig / One a day journal / Can't wait to be this tanned / Healthy Snack/ The yummiest dinner / Beautiful Pandora Ring / Make-up brush cleaning.

Nothing to really report to you I'm afraid bloggers, as usual I've been working loads and haven't really had the time to do much. The countdown to my girly holiday has started, 99 days if anyone would like to know!, so the healthy eating and exercise regime has really kicked in. I'm thinking of doing a few posts on this topic, is that something people would be interested in? Let me know in the comments.

I went to see The Script last night in Sheffield and they were absolutely AMAZING! The Irish accents were an absolute bonus too, me and my cousin turned to mush as soon as they started singing. Definitely rekindled my love. Its the first time in absolutely agers that my throat hurt this morning from singing too much... thats definitely the sign of a good night!

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder
























Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder - £3.99

Powder is something I always used to use, but for one reason or another I stopped and gave up with. I'm not quite sure why, I just stopped using it altogether. A few weeks ago after watching a few make-up tutorials I decided it was about time I invested in some more. I was slightly influences by Tanya Burr's make-up tutorials and blog after reading that she recommended the Rimmel powder, so I decided it was definitely worth a try. I decided to pick up 003 - Peach Glow, just for the simple fact that I didn't want to look like a ghost when I'd applied it.

I apply it all over my face after I've finished my make-up application, and I find that it helps to set my make-up and keep it in place. I also find that it does stop my face from going shiny and its lovely and light and very easy to apply. I use my mini Eco Tools powder brush to apply it and usually carry it in my bag, just in case I re-apply my foundation throughout the day. I do really like this product and I'm so glad I finally invested in a powder, as I can really tell a difference after I've applied my make-up. It takes off the cakey-ness and really helps to set my foundation. I'd definitely recommend this, and at £3.99 its a total bargain!

I'm Loving: A Missguided Midi Dress











1 / 2 / 34 / 5

Midi dresses are my absolute favourite trend at the minute, I really cannot get enough of them. I think they are the perfect versatile dress that can be worn in the day time, as well as dressed up for a night out. I know I myself love to do this exact idea, and I think they particularly look amazing and so nice dressed up. I first started seeing these kinds of dresses in Topshop a few months ago, but there was no way I was paying their prices. Missguided is definitely my one-stop place to go for dresses for months now, purely for their price and amazing styles. They have so much to choose from and I can guarantee there is something for everyone.

I actually have the the fifth dress in my line-up in a dark grey colour and it is the comfiest thing I own! Perfect for the day but is really easy to dress up at night. I literally cannot stop buying these dresses.

MUA Pro-Base Fixing Mist
























I picked this product up on a whim a few months ago when I stopped off at Superdrug for some concealer.  I think it was around £5.00 so I didn't really mind trying something for that price. I've read a lot in the past about make-up fixing and setting sprays but to be honest I've never actually come across any. I know a lot of people have a love-hate relationship with MUA but I've always been impressed with what I've picked up, and this is another product I do quite like.

Its just a simple spray that you apply when you've finished your make-up routine, and it basically aids in helping keep everything in place. The spray is supposed to protect your make-up from heat, humidity, windy conditions or basically just anything that may make your make-up look less perfect. 

I've been using this for a few weeks and to be honest I do like the idea of it, but I haven't really noticed a change in the wear or staying power of my make-up. I guess for me its one of those things that I don't want to stop using in case it actually is working for me, but to be honest I can't really see a difference. My make-up does look really lovely and it gives a nice dewy finish when I first apply the spray, but so far that is the only thing that I've noticed. 

What are your opinions? What is your favourite product like this?
