April Glossybox Unboxing!

Hey everyone!

For Christmas last year, my boyfriend got me a yearly subscription to the beauty box service called Glossybox! I love this beauty box and it's got to be one of my favourites, I've always wanted to be subscribed to it. I thought I'd unbox it with you all and show you what I got in my box and let you know a little bit about each product! Enjoy!


~~~~~~~~~~~


The first product I got in my box was from a brand that I'd actually been looking at a couple days prior! I saw it on Twitter and decided to have a look on their website. It's a SportFX Definition Duo Eyeliner Pencil which I find a great concept. At first I thought it was just a brown which I wasn't overly keen on as I prefer black, but was willing to give it a try for a more subtle look. I then realised that it was double ended and has one black and one brown side which I love! I'm really excited to try this out and it claims to always have a "sharp micro tip" which is a plus. This brand is aimed at products that you can use at the gym to and as this eyeliner is waterproof, it's perfect for all you people who work out! Sport FX is a brand that aims to bring out multi-use products, just as you can see from this one. This is a full size product and it retails for £9.99. You can find it at SportFX.com.
~~~~~~~~~


The next product I recited was from the brand ModelCo. which I personally love. It's a contour stick which actually looks a little too dark for me! I have very pale skin and when I swatched this product, it also looked a little orange. The chunky contour crayon claims to make defining the cheekbones easy and precise and to glide over bare skin or foundation. It can also look good as an eyeshadow or a lip colour for darker skin tones! This product retails for £17 and can be found at Modelcocosmetics.com.
~~~~~~~~~~


This next product smells and looks amazing! It's so cute and dinky too I love it! This is a Love & Hand cleansing gel and it reminds me of the bath and body works ones. I get a kind of citrus vibe from it and I love the packaging, it smells so good! It's a great size to carry around in your pocket with you and for on the go. Obviously a daily hand gel is a must have! This hand sanitizer also leaves hands feeling lovely and soft due to the tiny pearls which burst on application to hydrate hands. This product retails for only £2.90 which is great and can be found at en.mercihandy.com.
~~~~~~~~~~

The fourth product I received in the box is the Rodial GlamoLash Mascara XXL. Now I know we all love dramatic lashes and we don't want to hold back, so this volumising mascara isn't going to be any different. This mascara is said to be extreme! It's a smaller size and you only get 6ml of product. The long wear formula is jet black and leaves lashes super sized but soft. I'm excited to try this out and I love having dramatic lashes but I just hope it doesn't make them clumpy. The full size product retails for £24 which is expensive for a mascara and can be found at Rodial.co.uk.
~~~~~~~~~~~

This final product is my favourite and I can't wait to try it! I love trying new shampoos and conditioners and this product is supposed to replace both of them and do the job. This is the Deliwash Cleansing Conditioner by the brand Elgon which I admit I've never heard of before. This is a quick to use product which combines the cleansing action of a shampoo and the hydration of a conditioner in one product. This product claims to suit all hair types which is amazing! It gives less lather than a shampoo but is to be used just the same. This product retails for £14.50 and can be found at Elgoncosmetic.com.
~~~~~~~~~
That's all I received in my Glossybox this month and I hope you enjoyed this blog post! If you got a Glossybox this month, comment and let me know what you received in your box and if you got anything the same or different.

A little update - I haven't blogged properly since about 2015 and I think it's time for a new start. 2017 has been hard for me so far with lots of ups and downs but I want to make the most of it and begin doing new things and things that I love. I loved blogging when I first started and I can't wait to get back into it! I want to bring my hobby back and make it better than ever with better quality and better posts! Leave any comments of blog post ideas or any you'd like to see. I'm glad to be back! A new year, a new me.

My Shoe Collection!

Hello bloggers!

So after doing my shoe spree/wishlist blog post recently I came up with the idea of doing my shoe collection! Just to start off, I don't have a lot of shoes like you might expect and I will have no idea of where I got them and how much they were! I hope you like this blog post! If you have any ideas for upcoming blog posts then please comment them below! Enjoy!

 

The first is my pumps! My favourite!




 
Yes, I know my feet look horrible and I am so so pale! I usually wear them with tights if I'm wearing shorts but when I wear them to school, I have jeans on, so I will put on my ankle tights! I love these and I wear them everyday!
 
 
The next is my Vans.
 



 
I haven't worn these in a while as it's summer but as you can see, these have been worn a lot! This is my second pair of vans and my first ones were blue! I didn't get blue laces with these, I got white but I changed them to blue!
 
 
The next ones are my boots!
 




 
 
These are the boots I wear in the winter, mostly to school! I wore these ALL THE TIME when I first got them, but then I got my pumps for summer. These are suede boots, have 2 zips on each side and have studs up the back.
 
 
The next ones are my Nike high tops!
 



 
 
These used to rub my when I first bought them, so I didn't wear them much but last year I had started wearing them so much! I really loved these and they're so sturdy. These were quite expensive because they're Nike aswell.
 
 
The next are my black converse!
 


 
These are quite dirty as I used to wear them a lot. I sometimes wear them with shorts but I would have preferred white ones. These can basically go with anything which is great.
 
 
These next ones are simple grey plimsolls.



 
These are so so dirty and worn out as I used to wear them constantly! I need to buy a new pair of these. They work the same as the converse and basically go with anything.
 
The final shoes are my wedges!





 
I love these! I got them last year for prom and they are so nice! I prefer wedges to actual heels so that's why I chose these and whenever I don't wear them , I keep them in the box! I'll wear these for parties, weddings, proms and anything fancy.
 
 
So that's all my shoes for this blog post! I do have a pair of gladiator sandals but I couldn't find them for this blog post! I hope you enjoyed and why don't you comment your favourite pair of shoes that you own!
 
Lots of love,
Vikki x

Summer 2014!

Hello bloggers!

As you all know, it's basically summer right now. We may not have the best weather for it yet, but it is! I'm still in school but because I live in Scotland, I've just started my summer holiday but other people have 3 weeks left! So for today's blog post I'm just going to give a few tips for summer, a few outfit ideas and some things to keep you entertained this summer! Enjoy!


Summer! Everyone loves summer, especially if you get good weather. So it's good to purchase a few things! Like some sun screen! Remember to get a good and high SPF and even if you don't like it, you've got to put some on! It really protects your skin and will do you good in the long run. It stops you from burning and getting sun rays onto your skin which starts skin cancer.

Another thing you could invest in is a hat! It doesn't have to be a boring hat that just covers your face, but there is a lot of nice fashionable sun hats out there. If you don't already have one then I suggest you head out and buy one!

The final thing you should always have handy with you is a pair of sunglasses! They can really style up a look as well and personally, I love wearing sun glasses. They will protect your eyes from the sun and I really enjoy wearing them! You can basically get them anywhere, for cheap and dear prices.


Here is some outfit ideas I found that you can purchase this summer!

1.













This is just a nice simple girly outfit you can wear. Anyone can pull this off and it looks great for going out to town with some friends or even to the beach!


2.













This is more of a dressy look rather than a casual one. It is a really nice one though and one of my favourites! I think it's a great combination and I think it's a great way to look good, show of some tan and feel comfortable at the same time!


3.











This is a really nice look too. It's something you can throw on and you don't have to put much effort in to look good. It's a nice flowy dress that anyone can pull off and make look stylish.


4.













Now I think this is my favourite because it is such nice summery pieces! It's such a nice crop top and shorts and you can pull it off with a pair of sunglasses and a pair of cute boots!



5.













The final one! I absolutely love this and it's so cute!



Now you're probably thinking, "I'm going to be so bored this summer! What can I do?" Well, I have a list of a few things that you can do this summer with friends and family!


1. Go to the beach
2. Build a campfire
3. Make smores
4. Go to a villa
5. Go on vacation
6. Picnic at a local park
7. Have a pool party
8. Sleep under the starts
9. Create a summer adventure journal
10. HAVE FUN!


I hope this blog post was entertaining or even helped a few of you.
Comment and let me know what your favourite thing to do in summer is!

Lots of love,
Vikki x

Would You Rather - Beauty Edition!

Hello bloggers!
So as you have probably realised, I haven't blogged since April! It's ridiculous! I kind of neglected my blog and put of posting but hopefully I'm going to start up again!

Recently I saw the blog 'From Head To Toe' do a Beauty Tag! This gave me an idea to maybe do it aswell, even if I haven't been tagged! I hope you like it and I also tag anyone reading this to do it! Enjoy!

Q1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?
- I would rather loose all my palettes and eyeshadows as I don't tend to wear them as much as mascaras, eyeliners, lipstick and glosses!

Q2. Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?
- I'd probably chop it all off cause then it can grow back again, right?!

Q3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?
- Difficult one, most of my blushes are coral so probably coral

Q4.  If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?
- To be honest, I'd probably spend it on clothes!

Q5.  Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?
- Neither! But probably lipstick as eyeliner because you can get lots of funky colours!

Q6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
- MAC!

Q7. Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life?
- Eyeshadow because I love using different colours of lipsticks

Q8. Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?
- Summer clothes in winter so you can layer up and get all snuggly!

Q9. Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?
- Bright nails!

Q10. Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?
- Favourite eye colour!

Q11. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?
- Messy bun because I think ponytails get boring after a while!

Q12. Would your rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?
- Never wear lip gloss because I prefer lip stick anyway!

Q13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?
- Sharpie them in as I have to fill them in everyday anyway

Q14. Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?
- Live without nail polish as most of the time I don't have the patience to let them dry so end up wiping it off!



That's all the questions! I hope you guys enjoyed this tag and maybe leave a comment to your blog if you've done this tag! Also comment some future blogging ideas and stay tuned! Thanks!
