Getting Floral with Primark

I took a little visit to one of my favourite places the other day and I found the cutest accessory for those sunny days that I hope will turn up soon. 

How adorable are these daisy print sunnies! Just £2 too and bang on trend for spring 2014!

Friday Favourites #25

After moving out, getting myself on the road and starting a new job, it is so nice to get back in the swing of things with Beka's Beauty. Friday Favourites is probably one of my favourite features, mainly because it's so simple to do and it allows me to put my beauty and fashion dreams out there without having to getting my purse out. 

This week's Friday Favourites features a print that I think will be EVERYWHERE in the next few months. I remember daisy prints like this being around when I was growing up in the 90's and I'm kind of loving the comeback. I love the idea of this dress being worn for a girly lunch or casual date, and those shoes! Swoon! I am really looking forward to summer and getting my legs out with a pair of tan boots or heels.

I haven't really had any adventures of late, as you can see from my blog. So where have you been or want to go that's maybe worth a visit? Let me know :)

MUA Make Up Brush Binge

This is probably a beauty blogging sin, but I don't actually have that many make up brushes.

So when I browsed the pages of MUA the other week, I thought I'd start to get myself on track with a few budget brushes to see where they would take me. 

I opted for 3 eyeshadow brushes and a concealer brush. 

I've got to say, that these brushes instantly look luxurious. Black, sleek packaging with minimal writing just looks really smart in my opinion. The quality of the brushes are great too, they blend colour perfectly and the concealer brush doesn't smudge my foundation once on. 

And at just under £2 each, I think these are an amazing start to what could be a make up brush hoard.

What are your favourite make up brushes and why? What should I invest in next?

Saffron Nails - Bargain Buy

Since I've managed to stop biting my nails and grow them, nail polishes are back on the menu for me and I've scouted out an amazing little purchase whilst on a girly shopping trip in Warrington. 

There were so many colours to choose from but I went for this gorgeous iridescent burgundy shade that's really up my street at the moment. At just over £1 I was chuffed with this little purchase. 

After two coats I got a glossy, streak free finish that hasn't chipped now for 4 days. Pretty Impressed. I don't think this will be my last purchase from Saffron anytime soon.

Lime Crime Velvetine Dupe - MUA

So this post involves 2 of my favourite beauty brands, Lime Crime & MUA. I haven't, as of yet, used any products from Lime Crime, I've merely admired greatly from afar.


So when I saw the Velvet Lips from MUA, I couldn't help but notice that it was a great dupe for the Velvetines that Lime Crime have on their site. 

They look like a normal lip gloss, but once on, dry into a matte finish that I've only ever seen achieved with a lipstick! So, I'm kinda impressed. 

What do you think? Have you tried Lime Crime before?

MUA Lipsticks

I have been slightly obsessed with MUA recently and it's not hard to see why.

They have an amazing range of quality make up without the huge price tag. So I had a little spree before Christmas and I've only just got settled enough to get them out, pictured and now blogged about, starting with this gorgeous lipstick duo.

I love berry lipsticks and I've wanted a nude lipstick for a while, so I thought I'd take the risk (at just £1.99 each) and I loved the results. 

Here is Totally Nude on. It has a really creamy texture but takes a few layers to get great coverage.

And here is Wild Berry, with a more shiny finish.

Have you bought anything from MUA before?
