Benefit 'Goodies A Go-Go' Review

Long time, no speak! College work is currently a nightmare and this is currently my form of procastination (shh)...

Anyways, for Christmas I was gifted this beautiful Benefit 'Goodies A Go-Go' kit which I love so much. It contains:

♡ 4 amazing powder eyeshadows in 'call my bluff', 'thanks a latte', 'gilt-y pleasure' and 'kiss me, I'm tipsy.' (firstly the names have to be the best I have ever come across)

♡ 'Stay don't stray' eyeshadow primer mini

♡ 'They're real! mascara mini

The eyeshadows have amazing pigmentation and blend like a dream. The quad can make so many amazing combinations and they all work well together to create almost any look you desire.

I am a lover of all eyeshaow primers and find they last forever and this defiantly isn't an exception, it's so creamy and makes sure the eyeshadows stay put without smudging all under my eyes by the end of the day which isn't really a look I personally go for...

Finally the hyped up 'they're real' mascara is sadly worth the hype. I say sadly because of the price of the full sized version in comparison to the drug store ones I usually go for but it is so worth it because this mascara works magic on your lashes and makes them look insane.

The only small problem I do have with this kit however is the size that could definitely be reduced. this is only a problem if you want to travel with it but if I'm honest I love it so much I wouldn't mind this at all taking up extra room in my luggage. 

I believe this is still available from Benefit and lots of other stores like Boots. Go grab it because this is the perfect eye kit that ticks all the boxes.

I'll speak to you all soon,

Brighton Home/ Clothing/ Beauty Haul

For my friends birthday it has become a tradition that we all make a little trip to Brighton as we have now gone 3 years in a row now on and around Halloween (yes this post is 2 weeks delayed I'm very sorry haha but everything should still be in stock). We all love shopping there because of the variety of quirky/ vintage shops that you don't get in our area and it's so nice even if you are just browsing. We also went on the pier in the evening and sat on the deck chairs and honestly it's one of my favourite places in the world.

Probably my favourite shops in Brighton is 'Snoopers Paradise' which is full of so many old nick naks from vinyl's and jewellery to dolls and cutlery. There are 2 levels to the shop and I went upstairs to 'Snoopers Attic' and found a selection of little fake flowers that were too good to leave as they were only £2 in total. There is also an amazing photo booth that we all love to go in and take goofy pictures in which we did this time but I haven't included a photo of them in this haul.

Whenever I go to Brighton, even when it's not on the birthday trip, It has become a tradition that I go into the most adorable shop called Sass & Belle and pick up one of they their decorations for my bedroom. I just think they are so cute and give such nice finishing features to a bedroom/ anywhere else in your house.

I have been after a raglan/ baseball t-shirt for at least 2 years now so when we popped into Dirty Harry's and when I saw this I was all over it. I especially like this one as it's not super tight like most of this style and is a little baggy. It also has long sleeves instead of three quarter length ones which I love and it was a bit of a steal for £12. Such a staple item for winter.

I don't have a stand alone mac store near me, I always have to go into somewhere like John Lewis but in Brighton there is a really nice one so I always make the effort to have a bit of a nosy around. As you may have seen on my Autumn/ Winter Wishlist I have been after the Cranberry eye shadow for a while as it is a 'bright' colour but it is still reasonable subtle and not too in your face.

Along with the cranberry theme, in Urban Outfitters I picked up this little beauty of a nail varnish as I think it is such a traditional winter colour and for some reason I didn't own anything similar to this before so I picked it up and I have actually tried it out and I love it! It dries super fast also which is a must for me. It is in the shade 'Raspberry Beret'.

Finally we went into one of my all time favourite stores called 'Evolution' which I think has a few other stores around the UK as I know there is one in Reading. It sells really unique home peices and I smelt this candle and was in haven. It was only £3.50 which I think is really cheap and it kicks off so much sent and burns for I believe 40 hours, so overall a very good buy!

I'll speak to you all soon,
