Makeup Revolution : Golden Sugar 2 Rose Gold | Review

When your on a budget its not always an option to splurge, discovering Makeup revolution has been one of the best things to happen to me, I can go on a spree and not end up pennyless.

This palette includes beautiful blushes, for anyone, whither your going subtle or what strong pigment its there. There are also gorgeous bronzers and a highlight highbred.

Its gorgeous and there is genuinely a sometime for everyone in these eight shades. and at £8 (ish) does it matter if your not a fan of every shade.

I haven't really taken the time to play with all the shades properly so I do play favourites with this palette but its brilliant and excellent value for money.

So wither your a dab hand with the make-up brush or a newbie looking for something to start with. You should give this a try.

Makeup Revolution : Golden Sugar | Review

When the price tag for a palette is £6 it’s easy to be wary about quality but that need not be the case with Makeup Revolutions Blush Palette. 8 shades and a big mirror, the packaging is clean/no fuss and the product is amazing.  

The palette is highly pigmented and though described as a blush palette contains highlighter and bronzer.  

Each shade is gorgeous. The highlighter is glowy. The two bronzers in the palette can be used for a subtle contour. And the Blush shades are diverse and can be used for however rose or subtle hint of colour you want. 

And for the price who can complain.

Brave Enough - Cheryl Strayed :Review

I've talked about my struggle with books last year, finding time to read was near impossible, I just didn't have a lot of spare time to give to a story.  Cheryl Strayed's Wild was the first book I picked up and it genuinely took me maybe two months to read it all.  Not because I'm a slow reader, or that I found it difficult to read, each time I picked it up I was utterly obsessed with the story, but then I'd realise the million other things I was supposed to do and it would be set to the side again.

"Wild: A journey from lost to found" is a genuinely gorgeous book, an incredibly truthful account of Cheryl Strayed's journey across the Pacific Crest Trail and what lead her there.

When I heard about Brave enough I knew I wanted to purchase it. I really loved how beatifully put together a lot of Cheryl Strayed's words were and in fact took a picture of the last words in the book and had it printed! "How Wild it was to let it be" 

This little book is full of thoughtful, smart and funny quotes. Can leave you pondering, inspired and give you words to live by. Though you can flick through it quickly its one that you want to have on hand to go to again and again.

Michael Kors GlamJasmine

Michael Kors Glam Jasmine, part of the Glam collection comprised of Jasmine, Amber and Citrus, released in 2013.

I found this when I wandered into town when in Lanzarote. Side by side with GlamCitrus I was innitially drawn to try the citrus scent, as L'Occiatane Citrus Verbena is one of my all time favourite scents (and I've run out). But Michael Kors scent didn't strike me as much.

With scents for my I need to be absolutely in love with it to buy it for myself. I'm still sitting with the I Smell Great testers wondering if I should take the plunge and by myself the full sized product. I'm also quite picky with scents, overly strong ones or musky ones tend to be huge no's. I really like citrusy, or fresh scents and have been quite like fresh floral scents as of late.

I tried the Michael Kors Jasmine Eau de Parfum not particularly expecting to like it, but more just to see what it smelled like, I still haven't had the opportunity to smell the amber one but will if I stumble across it.

But once I smelt it I knew I'd have to buy it or otherwise regret it, especially as I was abroad and getting into in Lanzarote on the Euro worked out cheaper than if I were to buy it in the UK.

The scent itself is quite sweet, florally and is long lasting, just a really pleasant fresh smell. At Christmas I was also gifted by my Gran the set containing the lotion and a smaller bottle of the perfume which I love as I feel fragrances last longer if you have a lotion and I quite like putting it on before I go to bed.

This is defiantly my favourite perfume of the moment, and luckily I have enough to last me a while.

I recently purchased some Kikki.K products.  Having stopped myself from buying the whole site heres what I got.

Words to Inspire: 

A beautiful compact book full of stunning typography, over 133 quotes adorn the pages of this A3 coffee table book. Something to keep on hand to flick through these wonderful words and keep you motivated and inspired.  

365 [Pale Blue]:

This is a gorgeous journal with 365 pages, though I just realised this year has 366, its undated so you can start anywhere really. This has been something I've tried in the past I'm using this to keep notes of thoughts or quotes that relate to how I felt that day.  Hopefully its something I see through this year.  

Vision Kit Board: 

A lovely kit with varied sized quote cards. Lovely for any inspiration boards or in real life pintrest boards you want to make for your room or office. 

Quote Cards [12pk + 5pk]:

Both quote card boxes come with a wooden stand so you can display quote cards also would be easy to use these cards on boards in scrap books ect. I honestly can't wait to display them in my room and really install positivity in my life

Tyler Hilton + Kate Voegele | Glasgow Garage | Review

Tyler Hilton and Kate Voegele are currently touring the UK and I was lucky enough to see them at there sold out Glasgow show.

Even though One Tree Hill ended in 2012 the fans still show how much music was an integral part of the show. Still following artists that the show had introduced us to. Kate Voegele and Tyler Hilton played on this playing fan favourites from the show and even closing the concert with Where the stars go blue, Kate Voegele taking the female part sang by Bethany Joy Lenz on the show.

After the opening act. Kate Voegele came on stage. With a high energy performance singing songs that fans knew from the show and a some new material from her EP The Wild Card. The audience truly enthralled in the music she was playing. This was Kate's first show in Scotland and with the reaction from the audience it differently shouldn't be her last.

Then Tyler Hilton took the stage, this marks his fourth time in Scotland. And his first tour since the release of fan funded album Indian Summer. Meaning the crowd heard old favourites as well as some material off the brilliant new album. But Tyler has been truly busy starting in new Amazon Prime show Extant with Halle Berry meant he only has a few weeks off at a time to try and tour.

They then took the stage together for two songs. A duet from Kate Voegele's EP. And the much Loved Where the Stars go Blue that Tyler sang on the show with Bethany Joy Lenz it was a huge join in moment for the crowd who sang along to every word.

Tyler and Kate have already got plans to take the tour to Canada, and wish to take it to other countries. A  great experience for any One Tree Hill Fans. Or just check out there music and see what amazing artists they are and go and see them live where they truly shine.

Idina Menzel [Review]

I feel like I have waited a lifetime to see Miss Menzel. I remember being eight-ish and hearing the Wicked Soundtrack for the first time. Straight away I feel in love with the soundtrack and of course the song Defying Gravity. It started an unfaltering love of Musical theatre and the lady herself.  It wasn't to long after that I watched Rent and have basically followed her career since.

So on Wednesday June 24th when Idina Menzel took stage at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow I felt like I was eight again. Hearing her live was something else entirely she is just mesmerising. And though many know her from Frozen fame the lady is not afraid to let out some curses throughout the show.

Belter-ing out "Defying Gravity" and covering "Creep", "Tomorrow", dedicating "No day but today" to Jonathan Larson the man that helped start her career. Honouring powerhouse Ethel Mermen with a medley of songs. Throwing in songs from her albums "I stand" and "Still I can't be still". Having the audience help her out on "Take me or leave me" Idina covered everything you expected from her and then some. And looked like she was having a great time doing so.

So not only was she a great performer who I am incredibly glad that I got the opportunity to see live. She was funny and real.  Creating a perfect evening with Miss Idina Menzel.
