LONDON SHENANIGANS

HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! Firstly I do apologise for the lack of blogging, as I mentioned last week I was going to be in London for a while and when I got back everything went crazy with the whole education thing and what to do, where to go etc. Howsit hanging for everyone?!
London was really fun and I loved spending some quality time with my dad. We went to some museums and visited old friends and family. Not a lot of shopping took place because it wasn't that kind of trip buuut I did get a few little goodies to review for you lovely ladies. Photo time!

Top: All Saints

Skirt: H&M (£7!!! Can't get over it)

 Makeup done using my new Guerlain bronzer which I picked up in Harrods. Review to follow.

 London's newest big building, the ''Shard''.

MY NAME IS NATASHA AND I'M AN ADDICT

'DIOR ADDICT LIPSTICK' addict of course. Having picked up my A Level results yesterday and done really well in one aspect and pretty shockingly in another, I decided I needed to reward myself for my shortcomings hard work and visit Dior <3 I'm off to London with my papa any minute now so will be doing a mahussive makeup/clothes haul and review when I get back (planning on parting with some monies) however I just wanted to share with you my first little gem of the weekend. Of course proper photos will follow. My dad will have to deal with the fact that his laptop is going to be abused this weekend as I will do little posts in the quiet moments.
How did everyone do in their exams? Comment and let me know! I hope you all got what you were hoping for but if not then it's so important to remember that life has so many different avenues for you to go down. A levels are not the end of the world! I know some awesome people who have amazing jobs/lifestyles who didn't do too well at school/college. If all else fails there is big demand for high class hookers so it's fiiiine! ;)

PRODUCTIVE EVENING...NAAAT

 

 SO APPARENTLY ALL OF THE little bits and bobs I was going to do this evening got completely thrown out of the window when I google imaged something and ended up being referred to Pinterest. I always knew about the site but never properly sat down to look through it. This evening I did...it ended up taking me through a journey of gorgeous outfits, gorgeous hair to amazing recipes and fitness ideas. That was only after a few pages! Lord knows what would happen to me if I decided to actually go through it methodically. I'm ashamed to say that I have done nothing and now I'm showing you photos that I like *facepalm*.

This dress is gorgeous...

Need I say anything?

 This is so cool! I want to copy it ;)

 Can bikinis GET any cuter?!

 This girl is gorgeous...not to mention the hair!

 Simple but nice :)

 Gorgeous girl with fit hair...again ;) *Planning when to copy it*

 So true hahahaha!

 Can't hear Ludacris the same way again now! Haha.

 Happens far too often :s

 Hehe...

This may be my new weapon in arguments with people, so cool ;)

I refuse to believe that I wasted my evening when I have fed my brain with such great content. Woop go me!!!

CLINIQUE EVEN BETTER FOUNDATION

IT'S THE DAY BEFORE SHIT HITS THE FAN...that's results day to normal speaking people. I...am...bricking it. Not because I havn't worked hard enough, trust me, I worked my absolute butt off. I just get nervous because it doesn't always turn out how you would like it too. AAAAAAAANYWAY. I was in Bristol the other day with my lovely friend Heidi, whom is also very obsessed with makeup, and I demanded a sample out of the woman working on Clinique. The lovely Kristina from KAYTURE has revealed that she uses Clinique Even Better foundation and her skin is literally f l a w l e s s ! I tried it in the colour 3.

The above two photos are the foundation in natural daylight (although pretty miserable outdoor lighting to say the least!). I found this founation a tad too shiny for my liking because I prefer not to use powder on top of foundation, yet with this I think I would have to. The colour is great, it matches my skin really nicely with how it is at the moment. Not much to say about smell etc. The coverage is medium to full and it blends really well.
I think this is great for anyone who has quite dry skin or doesn't mind layering the powder on, however it is not quite what I'm looking for. I can't imagine ever finding the perfect foundation but I damn well wont stop trying! In fact I'm off to London for a few days on Friday so I'm hoping to come by a Laura Mercier stand and grab the Silk Creme foundation which is supposed to be beautiful. Chanel is still topping my charts at the moment though ;) Love their foundation!

Has anyone given this product a go? xx

NEW ALL SAINTS BOOTS

WHY HELLO THERE (said very seductively). It feels like it's been a while. Hope everyone is good and happy. I've mentioned before that I work at All Saints, well we're gradually getting our new uniform over the next few weeks as the new season clothing fills out the shop. It's always very exciting to see which direction the brand is going each season. I'm going to do an outfit post when I've got more time but today is just a quickie to show you the shoes I've got to wear this season.

They're called the High Hessian Boot and can be bought HERE. They're made from soft Italian leather and they're leather lined too. I find the quality of All Saints shoes really good, I've found my past season shoes are in really good nick even after a few months of constant use.

What do you think? As I said, outfit posts to come shortly! :) Lots of love xx

HURRAH FOR DADS

SO I'M IN CORNWALL WITH my dad and his lovely girlfriend. It's his birthday today so I wanted to dedicate this post to him by telling you the things that make my dad (and hopefully everyone else's) very special. P.S: We took this photo yesterday...look how proud he looks! Haha.

1. My dad is always there for me, even though I moved out of home two years ago, if I need his support then he'll be round in a jiffy.

2. He's never down. Sometimes business gets stressful and where many people would become ratty he just takes it in his stride and remains calm and happy.

3. He wants everyone he loves to be as happy and healthy as they can be. Sometimes I'll meet up for lunch with him or go to stay at their house and he'll have some new product for me to make sure I'm comfortable and healthy. The last thing was anti hay fever pillows.

4. He's supportive of me in any situation. Whether he disagrees with me or not, he makes sure I feel supported either way.

5. He's active and looks after himself so we can do fun things together (for example totally failing at surfing).

6. He fills up my petrol tank each time I come to stay.........what?!

7. He's really fungy (funny).

8. When he gets an idea in his head, for example improving something about the house or garden, he doesn't stop until he's satisfied. It's very amusing watching him march back and forth outside, building stuff like a caveman with his big mallet, huffing and puffing.

9. He's very thoughtful with my friends too. My good friend Holly was pretty much like my sister at one point because we were constantly staying at each others  houses and my dad sent us both on holiday together and took us on day trips all the time, always treating Holly like another daughter.

10. My dad is fully dedicated to me and whilst my mum hasn't been involved in my life for the last 10 years, he's had to be both a father and a mum to me. He's done a damn good job because I'm not as screwed up as I could potentially be ;) Haha.

Enough now, I'm getting all soppy and I just heard him blowing his nose reeeaaallly loudly in the bathroom...kind of ruins the moment haha.
