TRAVEL- A WEEK IN IBIZA

 

 

 

The view from our room. Picture perfect anytime, day or night!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have just got back from the most amazing little trip to a beautiful place called figueretas in Ibiza and i'm feeling invigorated. I find there's something about travelling that really broadens the mind and gives us a chance to recharge and disconnect from our regular lives back at home. In my opinion nothing beats waking up in a new, beautiful country and then soaking up everything the day has to offer. In Ibiza's case this means soaking up the beautiful sun, sandy beaches and picturesque views (and maybe a few cocktails).

 

We stayed in a hotel called 'Jabeque' which had two pools, a bar and a restaurant with a range of Engish and Spanish foods to chose from. The staff at this hotel where so pleasant and the grounds surrounding the pool and rooms where kept absolutely spotless, the cleaners done an amazing job, i was amazed at how hard they work. Every room in this hotel has a balcony at sea view and the view honestly is beautiful. 

I couldn't fault this hotel and i am actually considering visiting again in October for a end of season break!

 If you are ever visiting Ibiza and are looking for an enjoyable and relaxing stay then i couldn't recommend Jabeque enough! 

 

 

NEW FOUNDATION FAVORITE: ESTEE LAUDER DOUBLE WEAR!

I have finally, after a long time of debating got my hands on this foundation! I have mentioned before that L'Oreal True Match has been my absolute favorite for years now so i never got round to buying this one, although i had heard so many good things about it i just never bothered! Anyway my lovely boyfriend knew i had my eyes on this and kindly bought it for me on valentines day, and i am so so happy he did!

I had seen so many people talk about its amazing coverage and flawless finish and my god they were not wrong. In the shade 3W1 'Tawny' it matches my skin tone perfectly. This foundation is definetly full coverage but saying that you can also get a really lovely natural finish by just applying a small even amount.

The only negative i have ever heard about this foundation is from people with very dry skin complaining that it does not sit well on their skin, i personally have dry skin and use a good moisturizer followed by a primer and have found no problem what so ever. I think well moisturized skin before hand plays a big role on how well this foundation will sit just because it is such a full coverage.

Overall i can happily say Double wear is up there with my favorite foundations now. The packaging is beautiful and a pretty decent sized bottle for the price of £29.50.
I have a feeling i will be purchasing another bottle of these very soon as i just do not want to run out now!

Have you tried this foundation?

I am trying to branch out and add a little more colour to my wardrobe this spring as i just tend to wear black ALL the time. As always i have been online clothes shopping and decided to put together a little spring wishlist of NON black clothes that i will be treating myself to and if you are like me and always reach for black hopefully this will  give you a little inspiration to get some colour back in your wardrobe!

MY INNER BIKER

Jacket: Oasis (stores only) similar here

T-shirt: Asos

Jeans: Topshop

Boots: Asos similar here

I wore this outfit today and felt like all i needed was a Harley Davidson to finish off the look. I haven't done a fashion post in a while so i thought i'd share my OOTD and of course i had to include my leather jacket that i got for Christmas as a present from my boyfriend, i am in LOVE, honestly i live in it. The weather was so lovely and sunny today so i was able to just chuck this jacket on over  a plain tee, ripped jeans and boots which has got me super excited for summer.

URBAN DECAY VICE 3!

With all of the eye shadow palettes in the world i can not think of one that is more functional than the Urban decay vice 3 palette. This is because not only are the range of 20 colours absolutely stunning, but the shades vary from cool tone/matte nudes to shimery bright blues, greens and pinks meaning you could live off of just this palette for the rest of your days if you had to! I have had this palette since just before Christmas and i don't think i have reached for another eye shadow palette since and as always with Urban decay the pigmentation is amazing. 

I snapped these photos earlier when i created this look using 'downfall' and 'alchemy' through the crease and 'lucky' on the lid. I just love creating different looks with this palette and honestly it is most definitely worth the investment!

grab it here when it's back in stock  £42.00

REVIEW: B. READY DAY CREAM

I have discovered a new and amazing day cream and i really wanted to share!

I have previously mentioned my love for Superdrugs 'B.' range when i spoke about their cleanser, i mentioned the fact that all their products are affordable and amazing quality and this B.Ready Day Cream is no exception. The thing that really attracted me to this cream is the fact that B. makes it very clear with their 'Skincare phase' departments which collection is best suited to your age range, naturally i searched the '20's-30's' range and came across this day cream which has an SPF 15.

I have become very attached to this cream and i use it every morning. Unlike a lot of day creams i have used in the past this one does not leave my skin feeling sticky, it sinks in to the skin so fast and leaves your face feeling super soft and just amazing, It also claims to 'protect against early signs of ageing for perfect looking skin'.
The only negative i can mention about this product is the packaging. As lovely looking as it is the plastic around the rim of the jar began to crack and crumble after a short while of me using it, which was a bit of a mess but not too much of an inconvenience!

B. Ready Day Cream- £4.98

GLAM GLOW SUPER-MUD CLEARING MASK REVIEW

I feel like iv'e abandoned my blog over the past month or so but i'm back now and it has given me a chance to plan a whole load of posts to do over the next month and the run up to Christmas, i'm going to have a lot to talk about and i'm excited to get back into the swing of things!

Anyway today i wanted to kick off by doing a review on a face mask that i have recently purchased and have absolutely fallen in love with, the face mask everybody is talking about the 'glam glow' clearing treatment. 

I purchased mine from feel unique for £39.99 after hearing a lot of good things about it. 

So where do i begin? this face mask claims to deal with pores, problem skin, blemishes, pimples, breakouts, zits, spots, blackheads & whiteheads. razor bumps and in-grown hair. Everything i need! 

Once applied the mask will start to dry, feeling tight and slightly tingly, which tells me its doing it job! As you can see from my close up it really gets to work drawing out the clogged up oils in your pores to the surface, and removing unnecessary oils from zits and blemishes.

You may think that after 20 minuets of having a dry face mask on your skin would feel dry when you washed it off too, but in fact it leaves your skin feeling smooth to touch, refreshed and clean. My pored where visibly smaller and any redness around my blemishes had pretty much gone. 

Another thing i love about this product is that you can use it just as a spot treatment too, so if you don't feel like you need to treat your whole face. just dab a small amount on a spot or problemed area and let it get to work.

I'd say this face mask is definitely worth the investment if you are looking for something that will cover pretty much any problem you may have with your skin, You really are paying for good quality with this one!

Hope this helped!
