Goodbye England.

-Few casual PJ selfies to exit with, why not-
See you later England, by the time this post is up I'll be on the way to Manchester Airport to go to Turkey! I hope you're all now fed up of my holiday posts, I now have nothing else to say about preparing for holiday - thank God. 
I'm due back on the 26th of August so I'm afraid I probably won't be posting anything until then. However, if I get the chance I may be able to so that would be cool, it probably won't be a long post though.
In the unlikely chance you're actually interested then you can follow me on Insta + Twitter cause I'll be updating there when I get WiFi, gotta get my fix! 
Bye England + bye people, please don't let my blog go invisible! xxxxxx

Real Techniques Dupes.

Everyone's got to love Sam + Nic's fabulous creations- the Real Techniques Brushes. And with such good quality for such little price where can you go wrong? The only disappointment I have is their lack in smaller brushes, you know, smaller ones for your face and eye makeup... and I seem to have found some fabulous Real Technique dupe style brushes that fit those specifics exactly. 
If you haven't heard already... Ebay have some wonderful Real Techniques dupes available here, and since I already have the majority of their brushes I wasn't in need of buying them (I'd thought I'd share them just in case you didn't know, they're worth buying if you're looking to test them out or something!). 
Since I was in need of some smaller brushes, I decided to purchase these on their own for £2. 33. They arrived in good time + were not damaged from travel or anything like that. They were basically perfect! These brushes are so soft and handy to use for concealer and eye shadow bases and things like that. You should definitely check them out! 

It's My Birthday.

It's my birthday today. I'm now half way to 40, how depressing!! This was the makeup I wore out last night, I really love it!

How I'm Packing My Toiletries For Holiday.

I haven't seen a post that explains exactly how products are stored/prepared for all of the bashing about they'll receive from the plane, so I thought I'd show you how I'm storing some of my toiletries to give you an idea on how they'll be made as safe as possible. I worship my products so of course I'm going to take every effort I can to protect them from damage. 
So the first thing I did was purchase some miniature bottles with labels from Primark (shown above) to condense the products. Anyone with common sense knows that taking a whole bottle when you're only going to use a quarter is silly- think of the case weight you'll save! 
To protect the bottles and keep them together I then used the clear bag that the bottles came with and stuffed them all in there. With the second bag I just put some items that are annoying when loose and need to be grouped together for protection, because I didn't use all of the bottles I had a spare bag.

For bobbles and grips I'm storing them in a small makeup bag thing I got years ago to keep them neat! I can just shove these in the case really.

You'll never be able to get rid of those annoying bulky products that must stay in their containers for whatever reason. So I've planned to store them in two carrier bags- one to group them, and an extra to protect them so they don't leak. God if they leak I'll be so sad! 

I'll also be taking two of these massive E45 containers and using them as moisturizer for my face and body. 

Have you got any tips + tricks on product case storage?

My Obsession With Mint Green.

So recently I've been extremely fond of the colour mint green, so much so that I thought I'd write a whole post dedicated to it! 
I'm not the type of person to go for bright-ish colours at all. In fact, I'm quite the opposite. Until recently I've been obsessing over monochrome outfits and all I'd buy was black and white. Even though some of this is still true, I think the summer has changed me and opened up my eyes to colour! 
I've been purchasing everything I see that's mint green, I see it, I buy it. And for my holiday wardrobe... its been overtaken by mint green garments, I think I'm going crazy!
What colour have you been obsessing over recently?
