june favourites ❁

hey, 

its coming to the end of june which has been a long and stressful month with exams, however i thought i'd share a few products/things which i've enjoyed this month.

1. pretty little liars
ive forever been a fan of the amazing and thrilling show pll, but its defiantly in my june favourites as season 5 has recently started. i reccommend to all  

2. lush 'cupcake' facemask
this mask is a lifesaver for teenagers with really oily skin or with a few spots. it does what it claims to do and was perfecr to keep my skin looking nice before prom (£6.25)

3. balmi strawberry lip balm
i bought this recently as it was in one of my hauls. as i thought, this product is amazing, and 200% worth trying if you want to moisturise your lips. (£5)

4. maybelline mega plush mascara
this mascara does magic to your eyelashes i swear. it just makes them stand out by adding volume and length. ive loved this product ever since it first came out (£7.99)

5. maxfactor facefinity foundation

i cannot praise this product enough! i use the shade natural which is an exact match for me. this foundation has an excellent coverage but doesnt feel to thick on your skin. (£11.99)

6. starbucks limited edition glass cup

i picked this up in starbucks earlier this month as i thought it'd be perfect for summer. ive literally used it so much and am so happy i bought it. (£8.50)

so these are my june favourites:) enjoy

london trip ❁

hey,

so i spent a few days down in london to relax after all my exams. i wanted to write about a few of my highlights and share some photos from the trip. 

one of my favourite parts of london is the huge topshop (they even had maps at the door so you didnt get lost). it was truly amazing as topshop is one of my favourite shops and being in such a big one was an amazing shopping experience.

another one of my trips highlights was my visit to covent gardens. they have lots of little stalls with good prices which was good to find gifts for people back at home. also around the area was all the theatres for musicals which i found especially interesting. 

i love the red phone boxes in london as they're so classy and old fashioned.

in the corner you can see big ben which is absolutely beautiful to look at.

overall the trip was a great success and i enjoyed every moment, and can't wait to come back soon.

mini haul ❁

hey, 

so today i arrived in london for the week for an 'after exams treat'. we went shopping for the afternoon and i purchased a few items which i love.

1. balmi moisturising lip balm - strawberry  
i recently saw this item on sprinkleofglitter (louise's) channel and decided to give it a try. it smells absolutely amazing and im in love with it so far. i bought it in topshop.

2. topshop frill socks - white 
i own so many pairs of frill socks but these ones stood out to me in the shop. on the frill part theres iridescent sparkles which make them really cute and girly. 

3. topshop pink floral jersey 

this top is perfect for summer as its slightly cropped  and is in a pastel pink colour. it has flowers made from a thinner material around the sleaves and bottom which make it very pretty. 

4. forever 21 floral top 

as you may have noticed, im quite a fan of floral prints, as they're so summery! i loved the style of this top as its very floaty and also the purple and pink colours go together very well. and it was at a great price of  £8.25. 

5. forever 21 navy cropped top 

perfect for daytime and nighttime. i love the straps on this top as they cross over on the back. 

6. forever 21 floral hairbrush 
i adored this item when i saw it at the checkout. and was in despirate need of a new one. its really pretty and girly and i just thought it would be perfect for me.

hope you enjoyed this mini haul
