This Week I'm Loving... #17

This was meant to be up yesterday so I am super sorry that it is late! But like they say... better late than never right?
Eat Natural Bars
You may have seen on twitter that last week I started a 6 week chocolate ban. Yes - I am insane, but until June 1st I will be eating NO form of chocolate at all. The first week has been a little painful but I've managed to get through it okay and I've found alternatives to hit that sugar craving just as much as a cheeky Kit-Kat. Eat Natural bars are SO yummy, my favourite has to be the yogurt coated blueberry and cashew bar, they are so, so good.... I just wish they were cheaper!

Sugar Crush Body Spray
This has to be my purchase of the week! I love the Sugar Crush scent and having a body spray on had 24/7 has been awesome, both me and my home smell sweet and zesty, perfect for Summer! (Here's the post I did a few days ago...)

Trouble - Iggy Azalea & Jennifer Hudson
TUNEEEEE! I love Iggy and Jennifer's voice is amazing so this song has me smiling everytime I hear it.... especially when James Cordon is singing it - please tell me you've seen that video?

Disney Tsum Tsum's
Having these delivered to me last week was the highlight of my week! They are so adorable... keep your eyes peeled as I'm sure they will be featured again, you know how much I love Disney!

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation
I thought I'd feature my everyday foundation this week! I've used this for the last 18months or so I'd say. I remember picking it up just after I had starting blogging after seeing lots of reviews and recommendations and immediately I fell in love, said goodbye to L'oreal's True Match and swapped over to this as my daily base.
 I cannot tell you how much bottles I've been through since then but this week I finished off yet another and made another repurchase. If you love a good coverage with a slight glow this is the stuff to try - plus it's less than £10!

Armani Si Perfume
This one is a bit of a cheeky one.... I don't actually own it... but I have been wearing it daily! 'How?' you might ask... well, I work with perfume so having a little spritz is a perk of the job, obvs! I LOVE this scent, it is so strong just one spray can last hours and hours, hands down my perfume pick of the week.

Revenge Season 4
Okay, I know you are all fed up of me talking about bloody Revenge! I have become pretty much obsessed this month. Sad as it is to admit but I have literally watched... 86 episodes this month. 86. ..... Eighty Six. Wow - that's kind of embarrassing to admit. I am totally upto date now, minus this week's episode which I am waiting to be uploaded. Not long until season 4 will be over and I won't know what to do with my life.

Tesco Damson & Pomegranate Candle
Candles are a right weakness of mine and I think I've talked about this one before either on here on on my YouTube channel. I love this scent and it is a total bargain, if you are in Tesco look out for it! 

the Balm Mary-Lou Manizer
Highlighter of the week has to be my Mary-Lou! I love popping this on my cheek bones, forehead and down the centre of my nose for a gorgeous dewy look. This brand is one that I really want to try more of this year.

This Week I'm Loving... #15


The Girl On The Train
Yes I am finally reading again! I took four books from my parents bookcase a few weeks ago, this being one of them! My Mum read it recently and said it was brilliant so I thought I would give it a go. So far, so good!

Hollyoaks
I know this is obviously something I watch every week but I'm loving the storylines at the moment! I can't wait for Mercedes to come back and for Kim to be revealed as a nutter haha!

Clearasil Rapid Action Treatment Cream
Unfortunately the last week or so I have had some friends join me on my face..... the big red ugly kind! This stuff is what I run too as soon as I have an unwanted zit - it works like a charm for me and has helped me vend these beasts off!

Sunshine (Finally!)
ENGLAND HAS HAD SUNSHINE! Yes it's true that big ball of fire in the sky does actually work. It's amazing how much it can change my mood and put a smile on my face!
 I went for a lovely walk along to seafront with my favourite songs playing in the week and it really lifted my spirits - it's the little things in life!

Ralph Lauren 5150 Sunglasses
With sun comes sunglasses, these are my total and utter favs at the moment - I did a blog post on them a few months ago! They are great for my face shape (aka a massive face!) and I think the pink detailing on the arms and inside.

Special K Porridge Pot
I love porridge and I love easy porridge. I have been having these for lunch everyday with a few almonds and raisins chucked in - they are great if you are on the go and so, so yummy!

Revenge
I know this was in my 'TWIL' post last week BUT I have still been watching it ... ALOT. I'm half way through season 2 already and am still loving Emily Thorne and her antics!

MAC Viva Glam Miley Lipstick
Most worn lip colour of the week has to go to Miley once again! I love this bright pink shade and have even been wearing it to work!
Writing
Like I said earlier in my "Me Project" post, one of my missions for this year is to write a book! I have now started to draft out my idea and expand my thoughts for it, hopefully soon I can get started on the proper writing - I'm excited for it.

Zoeva Luxe Cheek Brush
This has been my favourite brush for contouring for months now ..... and I'm not sure how it hasn't been mentioned on here yet! It's the perfect angled shape to use with my matte bronzer and highlighters to create great daily contour!

Lee Stafford Poker Straight Flat Iron Protection
Since getting my haircut I have been styling it alot more, which of course means alot more products and alot more protection! The 2 heat protectant's I was using have totally run out so after hunting through my haircare stash I found this beaut which I hadn't used in month! I'd forgotten how fab it was and how much I love the scent!

This Week I'm Loving... #14

Cinderella
When a new Disney movie is released it is inevitable that I am going to go and see it. I had been looking forward to seeing Cinderella ever since it was announced and I was super excited to grab my popcorn and m&m's (best movie snack ever) and go and see it with my pal Megan. I LOVE it, the cast was amazing, I love that near enough everyone was British - Lily James was actually perfect as Ella and had me close to tears at least 3 times! I'm off to see it again with my Mum tomorrow and cannot wait!

Revenge
I have been wanting to watch this show for years now, the amount of people I see rave about it I knew it was going to be right up my street. I started season 1 earlier this week and although I'm only a few episode in, I am hooked! I cannot wait to catch up to season 4!

Taylor Swift Wonderstruck
I have owned many a bottle of this perfume over the last few years. We all know I love T-Swiz so when I went to the US back in 2012 and it had just been released it was the number one thing on my wishlist from Sephora! I went straight to the store in Times Square and grabbed a bottle. The scent forever reminds me of my trip around the US and I have been wearing it loads this week :)

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick #36
One of the new lasting finish lipsticks now! I did a post on these new shades last month (here) and have been wearing them non-stop! This bright fuchsia pink is a great alternative for when I don't want to use my MAC Viva Glam Miley or Girl About Town! 

St. Moriz Bronzer
Bronzing products are something I have coming out of my ears! This newbie in my collection from St. Moriz is a gorgeous shimmery bronze great for completing any look. I have been dabbing a little on the apples of my cheeks to give me a little colour each morning - as I feel super pale right now.

Easter Eggs
It's Easter! Which means....... lots of chocolate. Is it me or does Easter egg chocolate taste so much better than normal chocolate? And don't get me started on creme eggs... I could eat 100!

Nivea Creme Sensitive Shower Gel
With shower gels I have my regulars that I use and I normally buy the one that's on offer! This beaut is only £1 at the moment in Boots so I've grabbed a few to keep me going! I like to buy sensitive shower gels as they contain less crap and don't irritate my skin like others do.

Hands down my YouTuber of the week! I've been watching Meghan for a while now and I am obsessed with her and her videos! She is hilarious, so down to earth and just seems like a girl I would love to be friends with! I've watched sooo many of her videos this week, her "Draw My Life" just made me want to get on plane, find her and hug her (in a total non-creepy way!) Meghan you rock! (Click her name above to check out her channel!)
