Clinique freebies

Hi everyone

Ok so I just remembered this great offer I got the other week from Clinique and wanted to share it with you guys before the offer runs out. Iv always hated my skin ever since I was a teenager and it started to break out on me!! iv always battled with it sometimes going threw stages of full blown acne my last acne attack was quite recent and what made me turn to Clinique anti blemish solutions! I don't know about you guys but acne completely knocks my confidence, I don't want to go out and feel like everyone stares at me!! especially in my job where i'm face to face with customers all day!! I even had one woman say this to me when I went on the hunt for a new product her exact words where "you should go see a doctor you don't want your face looking like that especially when you work with the public all day" charming right!! I mean she was only being honest but she could of put it a bit different and I still walked away gutted. 

But then I found Clinique anti blemish normally nothing works but I never give up hope so I decided to get the little set of this for £25.00 and honestly I could see the difference within a week. It's a cleanse tone and moisturise set and im guessing from the smell of the toner it can be a little hard on your skin but at the min it's working so intend to use it for a few months as I'm still getting the odd break out but nothing like the full blown acne I had a month ago!!! 

I went back into Clinique to buy the bigger set which came in at £56.00 but you get a lot more obviously and if you sign up to ️There beauty  card you for  free you get ten pounds worth of beauty points credited making it more like £46.00 annnnnnddddd you get a lush free set so honestly when you work it all out your getting it for next to nothing I also had a ten pound voucher to put towards so it actually felt like nothing :) I was so excited when I left the shop with my new goodies.

So not everything is on here as I have left my free eye  makeup remover  that I also got at home but as you can see you get a ️cute little makeup bag, mascara, a tub of moisture surge, pink Clinique lipstick and gorge pink duo Clinique eyeshadow that I love and it's the only eyeshadow iv used since I got it!!! And I nearly forgot you also get a big bottle of body moisture lotion that I also left at home gutted because I could of done with that here on hol!! But honestly if the fact that this anti blemish set works wonders on spots isn't enough the freebies definatley are!!! 

The cleanser is a foam wash removes all traces of makeup and feels amazing on your skin!! 

The toner (as you can see I use this a little to much) smells a bit strong and I'm guessing it can't be so good for your skin but whatever is in it this is the stuff that is ️definatley combating the spots the most!!! 

And the moisturiser the moisturiser feels and smells amazing it can seem a little oily but it makes me look refreshed and sinks into my skin in no time :) 

Freebies :-) 

And the ️cute little free makeup bag you also get what's not to love :-) 

Much love

Hi guys, 

So I'm sat here missing my little boy like crazy and remembering the last time we stayed at a Hilton hotel Last winter at thePrague  European poker tournament. Lucas came with us that time so I'm going to add a post about Prague with him in to  make me feel a bit better :D 

Prague was freezing but sunny so picturesque and the Christmas markets where beautiful. Me & Lucas spent the days wandering around the unique town and visiting landmarks watching the street shows, the singers and music players and sadly the homeless that seemed to be on every street you turned.  But it is such a Beautiful place even if you can't  really go outside without wearing at least 15 layers!! 

St Charles bridge Prague 

Someone's being cheeky 

Lucas 

Head to toe in next.

I am guilty of spending a bomb on next clothes but I love it!! They always have such cute stuff and to be fair he does get his wear out of them this red bomber he never had off and it still fits him now a year later (£15.00)  & He,s cute little brown shoes that came in at £20.00 lasted forever to!  The hat, scarf and glove set was the cutest but that didn't last so long all lost within a few months he has a just as cute one now though :) For getting around I just took a standard cheap buggie from Argos. No way I was risking taking the much loved Stokke on a plane! The buggy was ok but didn't recline something I struggled with when Lucas wanted to nap.  

Me 

Coat: electric pearl boutique £25.00

Hat: Topshop £14.00 

Boots : river island £65.00  

The bridge at night 

Christmas markets from the top of the tower you have to pay to get up here but the view is worth it you can see right across the city.

No trip is quite complete without a mummy, son selfie :D 

 

Old khaki

On the subject of khaki here's a quick post with another khaki colour dress this was took at the end of summer....just before the dreary nights came rolling in and when I'd just had my hair cut to its shortest yet....I think this colour is actually my all time favourite ever I would wear it day in day out if I could khaki the new black 

Dress misguided £25.00

Shoes: dp £20.00 the old faithfuls again 

Black bag: stolen off a friend again (sorry Naomi) 

Moon child 🌚

I'm such a look at the moon person and tonight it's out in full I tried to get some photos in the moonlight but they came out awful! I really need to invest in this camera sooner rather than later. So for this post I'm using the other nights pics I love the dark gothic trend. lipsticks in dark autumn shades and the khaki & purple colours in clothes. I teamed my slinky khaki backless Topshop dress with some gorge primark jewellery £3.00 for the necklace 😃and I think it was £2 for the Grecian bangle that I love!!!! cheaper than a mocha choco latte down at starbucks! I love this look and this colour is my fav of the season :)

   Forgot to put my necklace on on this one but it shows the dress off the best 

 Khaki dress .... Rare at Topshop £40.00 

Jewellery .... Primark 

Lipstick.... Mac deep love 

Lashes .....eye lure in 145 

Black Shoes....Dorothy Perkins a steel at £20.00 

my old faithfuls they literally go with anything and are so comfy!!!! Even at 3am in the morning after a night on the tiles 😃

So below is possibly the worse quality pic I will ever upload to my blog I will for future try be more professional :D but I just wanted to show the moon (not that you can see it much here) and how nice the hotel looks at night plus I am wearing the purple colour I mentioned earlier in my fav maxi dress ️iv had this a while now and it comes on every hol with me its so comfy yet enough to make a statement with the gorge colour long slit up the side and strappy back I will give this dress more justice in another post x 

    Dress miss selfridge £20.00 

    And dinner tonight by the gorgeous harbour I wish my pics could show how gorgeous the moon looked tonight x

Favourite swimsuit

My favourite swimsuit I love love love this and it's a good job I do because the rest of my Holiday wardrobe didn't arrive on time!!! Last time I order last minute!! but luckily Id bought this little number a few months back from Topshop :) I love the print, I love the cut, the colours and I am loving one pieces at the minute. I'm normally a bikini girl but I think I have found a new love with these they just look more classy and you don't have to worry about any lumps and bumps :D anyway here's the few pics I managed to get my fiancé to take before he left me for poker :)

So I would of normally worn black sandals with this swimsuit but seeing as my last minute order never came I brought a pair of old black ones that so kindly fell apart while I was wearing them seriously does this just happen to me??? So I had to go with the only other pair I had.... white.... but the photo is about the swimsuit and the background obviously so can you just turn a blind eye to those  :)

As you can see black sandals before they fell apart :)

Swimsuit: Topshop £28.00 

Black sandals: I don't think we need to know.

White sandals: stolen off a friend (sorry Sarah) 

Much love

It doesn't rain it pours

Hi everyone,

So I have a back log of posts I want to share with you and there really is no better time to do it than now as it is absolutely pouring down out side and it hasn't stopped since two this afternoon there is only so much lounging around I can do I get bored easily and need constant mental stimulation that I blame on my star sign (gemini). 

  Earlier today in Malta when the sun was out I decided to treat myself to the outdoor jacuzzi mid relaxation or should I say mid selfie snapchat uploading the heavens opened and it lashed down!! I stayed for a bit watching everyone dashing indoors with there towels over there heads and then decided to use this oppurtunity to get some photos for my blog so wandering round in the pouring rain barefooted I started snapping, I swear I heard one of the staff call me crazy to their colleague haha still I got some really nice photos on my iPhone 6.... I will be investing in a proper camera when I get back to England :)

Pretty woman in Malta

So my first ever post for you guys is coming from malta we are here on a poker trip my fiancé is playing in the European poker tour malta so this leaves me with lots of free time to get started on something ️iv been wanted to do for so long now. My little boy is at home with grandma missing ️him like crazy and slightly bored without having a two year old to chase round after all day but I'm trying to make the most and relax what I have been doing lots of in my hotel dressing gown what is it with these things they just feel so much better than the ones we have at home que walking around pretending im pretty woman or something wandering down to the spa for sauna and steam wrapping myself back up in my crisp white clean dressing gown makes me feel nice and refreshed 😃 we even get the slippers at the Hilton ok so I'm not going to be wandering out for lunch or dinner in this attire but it is perfect for chilling on cloudy days or when there is torrential rain like today.

Much love
