Please sponsor me.




I have decided to donate my hair to a charity called 'Little Princess Trust' and I need you guys to sponsor me and donate to such a great cause. There's just a few photos of what I'm going to be doing. 

Here's what they do. 

About us
We provide real-hair wigs, free of charge, to boys and girls across the UK and Ireland that have lost their own hair through cancer treatment. As a result of treatment for cancer, most children will suffer hair loss as a side effect. Some boys and girls cope remarkably well but for others this can be very upsetting.

What we do
We work with specialist suppliers and experienced hairdressers who offer wigs tailored to the individual child’s needs to give the most realistic look and feel, as close as possible to their original hair. We strive to put parents/carers in contact with suppliers as local as possible.


The Little Princess Trust is a children’s cancer charity and our mission is to supply real-hair wigs to children suffering with cancer, for the duration of their treatment. However, in addition we assist children with other conditions which also result in hair loss, the most common being alopecia. Our commitment to these children is different. Despite being set up to help children with cancer, the Trust is pleased to confirm that we will supply children that do not have a cancer diagnosis with one wig. Whilst we are unable to commit to supplying more than one wig to each child, we hope that this gesture will help the family whilst they decide on their long-term plans for dealing with this condition.

Please support me in this & donate with the link below.

My make up wishlist

1. Sleek sparkle 2 palette - £7.99
2. Naked Basic palette - £20.00
3. Katy perry Lashes (sweetie pie) - £5.59
4. Chanel mat top coat - £18.00
5. Topshop's 'Brighton Rock' lipstick - £8.00
6. Topshop's 'Nevada' lipstick - £8.00 

Lately I really got into make-up and trying new things, so here's some of the new things I want. 

1. I saw this on Vipxo's blog and wanted it instantly. The colours are really lovely & would be great for a night out or adding a bit of sparkle to your look. Also a reasonable price too. 

2. This is on the other end of the price scale. It's quite expensive but really nice for everyday life and adventures. I definitely need this. 

3. I just like the shape and thickness of these, not too obvious which is nice and I've wanted to try some Katy Perry lashes for a while. 

4. This is quite expensive for what it is but a girl can dream, cant she? Looks lovely in all the reviews I've read and love the matte look. 

5 & 6. These have pretty much the same reason why I want them. They are lovely colours and will go nice with my skin tone. I have so many lipsticks now but I just keep seeing more that I love.


Lime crime 'Velvetines' Matte Lipstick

Lime crime 'Velvetines' Matte Lipstick - £11.50 each

This is not a review, it's just I've bought them and I'm so excited to receive them. I first heard of them from my sister and started looking them up and reading reviews and all of them are saying they're amazing. As you can see they are both beautiful colours too. 

The Red Velvet is described as, Rich, velvety red. Like petals of a red rose.
The Suedebery is described as, Strawberry red, often associated with the 1950's icon Marilyn Monroe.

They're both vegan and cruelty free too, which is always a bonus. I will review them once I get them.

My make up bag

3. Matte foundation by Miss sporty  (different packaging now) - £3.99
6. Eye liner by 2true - £1.99
8. Ruby woo lipstick by Mac - 14.00
9. Redd lip pencil by Mac - £11.50

11. 'Heaven & Earth' Eye Palette by MUA - £4.00


1. I love this bronzing powder, I know its quite a bit of money but it goes on my skin nicely and suits my skin tone. When I first saw the amount you get I was little disappointed but actually its lasted me ages, I cant really fault it to be honest.  

2. Oh this smells amazing, its marshmallow scented. What I hate about lip gloss's is that there sticky but this is really not, goes on nicely and a lovely colour. For the price its great, easy to apply and nice for going out of an evening.

3. I've only started using this but so far so good. Makes my skin looks lovely, basically does what it says on tin. 

4. My sister introduced this to me and thank god she did. Under my eyes are really dark and purple most of the time and I've tried loads of different concealers but none really work as well as I would like. But this one really does it for me and covers the dark bags and everything else. 

5.  Once you use this, you won't go back. I absolutely love it. Once again my sister introduced this to me and at first I was really unsure whether to buy it due to the price but I love it, and really makes my lashes look their best. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. 

6. I started using this when I was about 15 and have tried others but I cant get off this. For £1.99 you'd think it was a bit crap but its lovely. So smooth going on and stays on all day and night. Perfect for me, as its cheap and brilliant. 

7. I love matte lipsticks so when this come on the market I had to try it. Its a lovely wine shade and I was hoping it wasn't too dark and I was please when tried that it wasn't. It's really creamy and just a nice lipstick overall. 

8. My first Mac lipstick bought kindly by my sister and I'm so happy she did. I love it and wear it all time. It's a beautiful shade of red too. This will be the first of many Mac lipsticks. It's called Rubywoo. 

9. My first Mac lip pencil too. I bought this to go with my lipstick, so its neater (if that makes sense). Same as the lipstick, nice shade. Great tip, colour your lips in with the lip pencil and it creates a great base coat. 

10. This scrub is created to make your lips ultra soft and man it works. You cover your lips in it for a few minutes and then lick it all off. (its created to be eaten after) there's a few different favours too. I would recommend this to anyone. 

11. I haven't used this much but the colours are lovely and also very much like the naked palette. (I think that's why I bought it) For the price you can't really go wrong with this. 


Have you got any of these? Would you recommend them too?

Just found a few bits I want:
1. I know everyone has a 'geek t-shirt' but I really like the grey version so I think that's a must.

4. How cute are these socks, not too sure how I'd wear them but they're adorable. 
6. I'm not really a fan of jeggings but they really don't look like them. Just a cool colour, in my view. 

Overall a nice selection. I've linked you to all of them under the picture too. 

Anything you like this season? If so, please feel free to share.

Kindle Fire HD - The Pro and Cons.



The Pros:
1. Great size - Not too big or too small, fits in your hands nicely. 
2. Looks lovely - nice screen and matte black back with a little panel with Kindle Amazon written on it. 
3. Books - loads of good cheap books and over 20,000 free ones. 
4. Easy to find things - A menu going along the top of the kindle for each category. For example games, apps & books.
5. Light - Nice weight, won't weigh your bag down on your travels. 
6. Price - Not a bad price for a tablet.
7. The web - so easy to search or tweet or even just watch some TV. 
8. Buying books - Amazon have a thing called one click buy and it's as easy as it sounds. You click it and they ask you again if you want it (to make sure you didn't do it by mistake) and its there, ready to read. 

The Cons: 
1. The camera - you have to pay £1.30 for the camera to actually work. If its build in, it should be free. 
2. The charger - the one that comes in the box is only to charge via your computer. 
3. The charger (part 2) - it takes hours like 5 hours to fully charge. Unless you buy the fast charging adapter but its £17.99.  
4. You can't change the background. Also the lock screen is adverts so you can't change that either. 

Overall I do recommend it, I love mine and hardly ever get off it. Since I got it Christmas day I've read 3 books. 

Have you got one and would you recommend it?

My Topshop Haul



2. All 3 bracelets are from topshop's sale
3. Star necklace - £1.50
4. Friendship rings (obviously I only have one) - £2.50
5. A pack of 8 rings - £3.50

I don't know about you guys but I absolutely love topshop's jewellery and even more so when they have a sale. All of this is from their sale except the skull ring which I'm totally in love with. They have some really cute little items in there for really cheap and the thing I have noticed is they always last a long time. 

Great tip, before you wear a new ring, cover the inside in clear nail vanish and they don't turn your finger green. 

Have you bought anything from there recently? If so, what did you think of it?
