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,

My Nightime Routine!

Hello bloggers!

So this is a blog post I've been wanting to do for a while but just really put it off! I decided to do it now because I got a few new products that I use recently. This is going to be my night time routine and what I do before I go to bed! I don't use all of these products at the same time every night, I change it around each night but I'm just going to include everything. Enjoy!

 
 
 
First I take my facial wipes and take all my makeup off.
 
 
 
 
I will then use my Simple Eye Makeup Remover to make sure all of my mascara and eyeliner is removed.
 
 
 
 
Next I take my Tea Tree Facial Scrub.

 
To apply just wet you face. Rub over a makeup free face and neck in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly. Pat face dry.
 
 
 
The next thing I use is my Tea Tree Foaming Face Wash.
 
 
To apply just squirt some onto your palm. Rub over your face in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly. Pat face dry.
 
 
 Then I use my Garnier Softening Toner which I love!
 
 
To apply just put some onto a cotton pad. Rub over face in circular motions. Let it sink in.
 
 
The next thing I use it my DermaV10 cream.
 
 
 
If I need to, I'll put on some of my Cien Soft Moisturising Body Cream. I don't like to use this very often as it isn't one of my favourite products.
 
 
 
The final product I like to use to finish off and make me ready to sleep, I use my Garnier Normal to Dry Skin Moisturiser.
 
 
 
 
That's it for todays blog post! I hope you enjoyed it and if you have any ideas for other posts then leave them in the comments!
 
Lots of love,
Vikki

NOTD!

Hello bloggers!

So I recently purchased a new nail polish which is the Barry M Gel Paint polish and I loved it! I tried it out recently and it looked really good and pretty tumblr so I thought I'd do a Nail Of The Day post! I got the shade coconut which is basically a creamy white! Here is a few pictures!

June Favourites!

Hello bloggers!

Seeing as it's a few days into July now, I thought I better do my June favourites! I didn't do a May one but I did an April one, you can check that out here - April Favourites
This is going to consist of some beauty products, hair products, a tv show, a human favourite and maybe a book favourite. A whole range! I hope this gives you some ideas and tips as well and I hope you like it. Please leave a comment on a blog post you'd like me to do next. Enjoy!


My first beauty favourite has been my kabuki brush.

Now I love this for applying my pressed powder to set my makeup. It's a cute little handy brush that is so soft and fluffy and it's very compact so good for travelling. You can basically get one of there anywhere. I got this in Primark for about £1.
 
 
My second beauty favourite has been my Miss Sporty So Matte Foundation.



This was just a cheap buy that I bought a while ago but it's a great shade for my skin tone. I got this in the shade Ivory and it matches so well! I'm very pale so it's usually hard to get a foundation that matches perfectly but apart from the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation, this is the closest I've gotten! I got this in Superdrug for about £4.99 I think.
 
 

The next beauty favourite I have is my ColourTrend Lipstick
 

This is a very summery bright pink colour and that's why I love it. It basically goes with any makeup look that's not too heavy on the eyes. I have this in the shade Gone Pink and I got it from AVON for about £3 I think, I can't really remember. I love my lipsticks but this is probably my favourite one!



 The 4th beauty favourite is my MUA Bronzer
 
 
 
 This isn't too dark of a bronzer which is good for me because as I said, I'm very pale. I always have to look for a good bronzer that compliments my skin tone and when I wear it, I never put much on. I also want to invest in the Body Shop Honey Bronzer as it looks like a great pale shade but right now, this is a great one that I love using. I also got this in Superdrug for about £2.
 
 
The final beauty favourite is my Naked 3 Palette!


 
 This is one of my favourite beauty products ever! I don't always wear eyeshadow but this has made it 10x better! I'm obsessed with this! The thing is, I would never pay the original price for it as I find it way to expensive so I got it off amazon for a way cheaper price. My most used shades are 'Strange' for highlighting my brow bone, Dust, Burnout, Buzz, Nooner and Trick. I also use Factory for my eyebrows a lot with an angled brush.
 
 
 Moving on from the beauty section, my next favourite has been the Secret Fantasy Star Body Mist.
 
 
 This is just a lovely shimmery mist you can always carry with you in your handbag. It's compact and really handy to have. It also smells delicious! I love this and I use it all the time. I got this from AVON for a few pounds. Bargain.
 
 
My next favourite is my Lee Stafford Sea Salt Spray.
 


I love this! I've wanted a Sea Salt Spray for ages and I finally bought this one and I'm loving it! I spray a bit of this on damp hair after a shower. The only thing I don't like is on the packaging, they put a massive barcode at the front! This really bugs me! I got this in Boots for £4.99
 
 
The next favourite is another hair favourite and it's the Style Expertise Smooth Taming Anti-Frizz Serum 04.
 


This is quite a small compact bottle but it does go a long way. Personally, this is the best thing I've ever bought! I get such frizzy hair after a shower and applying this does a world of good! You just take a small few squirts onto your fingers and run it through your damp hair. As soon as you put it on you can tell a massive difference and then when you dry your hair, it's literally silky smooth! This is amazing and I'm so so happy with it! I got this in Superdrug for £3.
 
 
The next favourite is a skin favourite and it's the Garnier Moisture Match Moisturiser.
 
 
This is also another amazing product! I usually buy Simple products but this time I went for a Garnier product. It's a moisturiser for Normal to Dry Skin and it really works well! It's a small bottle but still goes far. It's not one of them products where when you put it on, it goes all sticky and you have to wait ages for it to dry. It sinks into your skin straight away and leaves it feeling silky soft. I got this in Tesco for £2
 
 
The next favourite is a jewellery product and it's my favourite necklace at the moment.
 
 
 
 
 
This is such a beautiful necklace and I love it. It goes with most of my closet and it's a lovely shiny gold colour. I can't get over how pretty it looks! As you can see from the second picture, it has bits where it points out and goes back down again. This makes it look even more amazing. I haven't yet bought a necklace as good as this. I got this in Primark for £3
 
 
The next favourite is a book and it's Dear John by my favourite author, Nicholas Sparks.
 


Most of you have probably watched the film and aren't much of a reader so didn't read the book! Well I highly suggest you do because it's so good and catching! You'll be sucked in straight away, just like I was. Nicholas Sparks is my favourite author and most of his books are now movies but I prefer to read the book first as I always get an imagination of what it's like in reality. This is a lovely romantic book and I highly recommend you buy it.
 
 
 So my second last favourite is my TV show favourite and it's Suits!
 
This is such an amazing show! It's an American drama show and it's on Netflix. Tanya Burr recommended this and I was quickly hooked when I started watching it. It has a great story line and each character is different! It's a very law related show so if you like that then I suggest you watch it! The main characters are Gabriel Macht who plays Harvey Specter and Patrick J Adams who plays Mike Ross. I am currently on Season 3 and I'm watching episodes back to back!
 
 
 The final June favourite I have is a human favourite and it's Meghan Markle!
 
 
She plays Rachel Zane in Suits and that's how I found out about her! She is beautiful and I love her personality. She is an American fashion model, spokesmodel, and actress. She is truly beautiful and an amazing actress and I've been obsessed with her lately! (not in a creepy way!) You should seriously check her out!
 
 
Well I hope you enjoyed this REALLY long blog post that literally took me about 2 hours to write! Look out for a new post coming soon!
 
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!
