Top 5 High End Beauty Products

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Makeup, £30 - Debenhams // Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel Universal Bronzing Makeup Base, £32 - Debenhams // Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit, £39 - Cult Beauty // Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Palette, £39 - Debenhams // MAC Lipsticks, £15.50 - MAC Cosmetics.

I'm the type of girl who doesn't like to spend a lot of money, on anything, so spending money on high end makeup isn't something I do lightly. If i'm purchasing something from a high end brand I will read and re-read reviews a hundred times before I make my decision.

The bits and bobs I do have that are high end are some of my favourite products and I use them on a daily basis.

The Book Of Brave by Laura Jane Williams (Superlatively Rude)

The Book of Brave, Laura Jane Williams (AKA superlativelyrude) - £4.95 here

Recently I've been on some sort of reading mission, where I buy a book and unintentionally read it in under 24 hrs. I did this with Sophia Amoruso's #GirlBoss and I've also done this with Laura Jane Williams' The Book of Brave.

The Book of Brave is a 93 page ebook about what it means to be brave and to love yourself, in Laura's own words reflecting on her life and lessons she has learned and is now passing on.

Now, just because I read this book so quickly, that's not to say this book wasn't well written or well thought out, I'm definitely sure a lot of thought went into it, incredible amounts and the writing style/language in the book is brilliant. Laura is a truly intelligent woman. That's just to say that this book was so gripping, I felt I couldn't sleep until I'd absorbed every ounce of information it had to offer, as though it was going to be the answer to all my questions.

It wasn't.

But it didn't need to be and it wasn't meant to be, but it taught me something else. Something Better.

Review & Swatches // Urban Decay Naked Smoky Eyeshadow Palette

Urban Decay Naked Smoky, £38 - Debenhams.

I've wanted to own one of the Naked palettes for as long as I've loved makeup, but I could never justify, in my own mind, £38 on an eyeshadow palette. Then the other day I saw the Naked Smoky was being realised and mixed emotions overcame me a mixture of FOMO and also confusion. I'd previously spent £39 on the Too Face Chocolate Bar palette and £32 on a Chanel Bronzer so in my half asleep half awake state, I just bought it without thinking about it and now I am the proud owner of a beautiful range of eyeshadows.

What's in my Bag?

I've wanted to do a "What's in my bag" for a while but didn't think it'd be the right sort of topic for a blog, I feel like it's better suited to YouTube and then I thought, you know what, balls to that! So here's what in my bag, if you're interested!

Accumalating Favourites.

Do you ever sit down to write a blog post and just thing "I have no idea where to even start..." That's me right now.

I haven't written a proper favourites post since *opens new tab to check blog archive* January, where I spoke about my December favourites. I have no idea why, I just haven't, no excuses I've been lazy!

These are my favourite from January, up until now, there isn't a lot but these are ones that have really stood out to me.

Now lets move onto what I've been loving.

Sunless Tanning with St. Tropez.

St Tropez Gradual Tanning Kit, £25 - Debenhams

Sunbeds are not my thing, I'm putting that out there right from the get go. I have been on a sunbed once in my entire 22 years of living and it was for 3 minutes and it was the worst experience of my life.

Then I decided to try fake tan.
