My Blog is 1! | Giveaway

Hello beautiful's,

I cannot believe my blog is one year old on Wednesday 29th June 2016 - that is awesome!

Since it's my blog's turning one, I wanted to do a giveaway to say thank you to everyone who I've met along the way at events, and the people who have read my blog and been involved in any twitter chats or tumblr chats I've hosted and any previous giveaways etc, so that is what today's blog post is going to be about.

Also a massive thank you to every brand, PR company, press release or event planner who I have worked with over the past year, or has sent me things to review or try, or anything at all. Thank you so much!

Miss Lulu Bags

Hello beautiful's,

The wonderful people at Miss Lulu sent me this amazing bag a couple of months ago and since receiving it, I've used it so much - I just love it. I've had so many compliments from other bloggers, family and friends and random people who have seen me out and about with it so I thought I would say a few pictures with you all about about the bag, how much stuff actually fits in it and what I carry around with me on a daily basis.

Barry M Cosmetics

Hello beautiful's,

I've mentioned Barry M Cosmetics a lot on my blog in the past as I just love them so much! And since I get a lot of questions from people asking me about this company I wanted to do a blog post explaining why I love them so much. Barry M Cosmetics got in touch with me and asked me if I'd be interested in doing a blog post for them, and seeing as they're one of my all-time favourite make up brands of course I said "yes!". If you don't know already, and to be honest I don't know why you wouldn't, Barry M Cosmetics is the leading British colour cosmetics company. Founded in 1982, Barry M Cosmetics is famous for its wide range of colourful, cruelty free, on trend products and is dedicated to offering high quality at affordable prices.

Supersoft Yoghurt & Red Berries Smoothie Shampoo | Review

NOTE: I lost my picture of this product and when I went to re-take the picture, I realised I had put the empty bottle in the rubbish bin. The picture used on this blog post and on twitter was found on Google Images and all credit goes to Sophie Bella for her picture.


Hey beautiful's,

This has been my biggest bargain recently and I've been wanting to do a review on this product for  a while as its so good so I thought I would get around to doing this today for you all. I picked this up in Pound Land for just £1 obviously  and I loved it right from the first time of using it. It smells amazing, it leaves my hair feeling soft and looking beautiful, and I honestly just cannot rave about it enough.

#LivBloggersBall | Blog Event

Hello beautiful's,

This blog post has been a long time coming, and I've wanted so badly to be able to just put it up but my blog post schedule has been ram-packed these past few weeks - this is the only free time I've been able to do so.

A couple of weeks back I attended Liverpool Bloggers #LivBloggersBall event which was held by Liverpool Blogger's Steph Bewley in Roxy Ball Room Liverpool. I was little nervous attending the venue after the trouble I had at the last bloggers event I attended but I'm so glad I attended because I had an amazing time at the event and met some lovely bloggers and brands, so I thought I'd let you all know how I got on.
