Favourite Kylie Jenner looks

I have been absolutely loving Kylie Jenner and her outfits recently (I can't believe she's only 16!). I thought I would share my favourite Kylie looks on here. The thing I adore the most about Kylie's dress sense is that even when wearing jeans and a top she still manages to look fabulous.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post - I may do a follow up post where I try to find hughstreet equivalent  outfits to Kylie's. Let me know if this is something you would like to see.

Favourite iPhone apps

My phone is a big part of my life and I would imagine, all of yours too so I thought I would dedicate a post to it.I have the iPhone 4s and I've had it for around two years (I REALLY want the 5s champagne gold). I think my favourite thing about my phone is the amount of different apps you can find and download. I'm going to let you guys know which ones I use all the time and why I love them them.

Photography

Instasize - I like to use this app to create the white border for instagram. Most of the pictures I post on instagram do have the white frame because I just think it looks nicer. This app is really easy and fast to use and links up straight to instagram and other places you can upload photos.

Pic Collage & Picframe - I've put these app's together as they're both similar but I like to use both of these to create picture collages. They're really easy to navigate around and there are plenty of collage options on both. 

Games

Subway Surf - I think this game has been around for a while but at the moment I am addicted to it, definitely give it a try if you're looking for a new game to play when you're bored, it'll keep you busy for hours.

Smash Hit - This is really different to any iPhone game I've ever played before but this is what I love about it. I would recommend it if you're bored of the same old games and want to try something new.

Travel

Tube Map - I'm not from London so when I do visit, this app really helps me get around. It plans your routed for you and tells you what lines you have to go on and what stops you have to swap at to reach your destination. It also updates you on any delays that the tube lines have or if any lines are closed etc.

The Train Line - If you're like me and travel quite a bit on the train, this is a GREAT app. Obviously you can look at train times on there and purchase tickets but the thing I love about it is when I'm travelling I can just type in a train and it'll tell me if it's going to be on time and what platform it's on (especially good when I'm changing trains and don't have much time.) Definitely a very handy app.

Others

Voucher Cloud - really great for picking up some bargains on the high street and at restaurants. I like to check this app if I'm going out for a meal as they always do some sort of discount. 

MyFitnessPal - I could rave about this app so much. It's really good when you're dieting to help you watch what you eat. It basically lets you record everything you eat for the day & your exercise and every day you have an amount of calories you have to meet. Really worth a try if you're trying to cut down the calories as it makes you really conscious of what you eat.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post, let me know your favourite iPhone apps, I'm always looking for new ones.

Mothers Day Gift Ideas

Mothers day is coming up this Sunday and obviously this is a time to treat your mum! If you're stuck on what to get your mum, I've got a few ideas for you. Most of these are based on not spending a crazy amount of money but still being very thoughtful.

Cosmetics
A woman always needs some cosmetics. Boots are giving out vouchers at the moment (after you spend in store) where you get £5 off no7 skincare and £3 off no7 make up - so you could always go to Boots buy some essentials for yourself and get those vouchers in the process.

I personally like to get my mum some hand cream, a lip gloss and maybe some nail varnish. A combination of three small items makes a great present! Boots has a great variety of skincare and beauty products so you will be able to definitely find something in there. Around this time, they also do some great details so look out for them as well.

Flowers and Chocolates
Every woman loves flowers and chocolates. This is an easy present but definitely a guaranteed success. Buy your mum a lovely bunch of flowers, some chocolates she loves and a cute card and you're guaranteed to be daughter of the year.

Bath bombs & Smellies
Who doesn't love a relaxing bath after a stressful day? Lush is a great place to pick up the nicest smelling bath bombs but not only that, it has a great selection of shower gels, soaps and everything you need for a shower/bath and they all smell AMAZING!

Pandora
A slightly more expensive present but Pandora has been a craze for a while now and it's a great gift. If your mum already has a Pandora bracelet why not buy her a charm (I'm pretty sure they're doing special mothers day ones). If not, Pandora do a great selection of rings, which you probably think might be quite expensive, but there are some pretty nice ones for £30-£35, so it's definitely worth having a little browse.

House accesories
I'm pretty sure that every mother loves and takes pride in their house so why not buy them something cute for that? It could be as simple as a candle (Yankee Candles smell SO GOOD) or a diffuser, you can find these in any department stores such as House of Fraser, Debenhams or John Lewis. Other things could include, little ornaments or pictures to make the house look pretty.

Perfume
Again, a more expensive option however a very nice one. Everybody likes to smell good and no matter how many perfumes your mother has, she could always do with some more. Again, department stores are the places to look for those. For cheaper perfumes, it would probably be best to look at the Perfume Shop!

Days out
A present doesn't always have to come in the traditional rapped up form. You could always take your mum out for a meal or book a day at the spa for both of you.

I hope this was a little helpful to anybody who is stuck - that's only a few suggestions, I am sure there is plenty more. Let me know what you're getting your mum this Mothers day :)

Mini Boots haul: the essentials

I ran out of some essentials in the last week so I went to Boots to top up. I like both Boots and Superdrug but I would say I prefer Boots especially because you get triple points on your card every time you shop and they always hand me some vouchers too!

First of all, this is a product I haven't tried before, I decided that I was getting so pale, something had to be done about it, so I invested in St Moriz Instant Self Tanning Mousse.

St Moriz Instant Tanning Mousee

I chose this particular one because it retails at £4.99 so it's a much cheaper option to some of the other fake tans. Also, I was a bit nervous in applying it because in the past I have had terrible luck with fake tan. However, I found that this applies really well, dries really quickly and doesn't actually go patchy. I found it very useful to get a tanning mitt with it is as well, which I got from Primark for £2.

The next product I purchased was the Rimmel 60 Seconds Rita Ora Nail Polish. I got this nail polish in the colour '203 Lose your lingerie.' 

 Rimmel 60 Seconds Rita Ora Nail Polish

The pictures don't really do the colour justice but it's a really nice baby pink shade and it also has a little shine to it. I applied two coats of this nail varnish and found that this was enough. I've been wearing it for a few days now and so far they're still looking like when I first painted them, which is pretty impressive. They also do a lot of pretty shades in this range, so it's worth checking out.

I also purchased the Nivea In Shower Body Moisturiser and this is an item I have purchased a few times now simply because it's really convenient and quick to use and gives great results.

Nivea In Shower Body Moisturiser

If you haven't already guessed this is a moisturiser which you use in the shower. This product is particularly good for me because I can't always be bothered/don't always have the time to moisturise when I get out of the shower. This is great because you can just apply it in the shower, leave it on for a minute or so and then just wash it off again and whola! you have smooth legs. Another bonus, is that it smells really really nice.

The next product I'm going to tell you about is the Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner. It was that time again, to choose a new eyeliner for the next few months and this is the one that I decided on.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner

They do this eyeliner in thick and thin, depending on which brush you prefer but I chose the thin option. I chose this purely because I like to be very precise with my eyeliner and this gives me the opportunity to add detail. I have only used this eyeliner a few times but so far, I'm loving it. It's really easy to apply, it's also waterproof and it lasts all day. It's also sold at a reasonable price so I think it's great.

Finally, and probably one of the biggest essentials of them all, is the Batiste Dry Shampoo. 

Batiste Dry Shampoo - Floral and Flirty Blush

I have been using this product for a very long time. I mainly like it so much because I do have a lot of hair and sometimes it's not convenient for me to wash it every day. Applying Batiste just gives it that little bit more freshness. I also like to apply this when my hair loses it's shape or life, applying this dry shampoo gives it that little bit of volume and bounce back.

Hope you guys enjoyed this very mini haul, if you've got any further questions about the products just let me know below.

No make up selfie for Cancer Research

I think this is a really good cause and although some people slated it at first we have all now seen that it makes a real difference. So here's my no make up selfie, I nominate anybody who hasn't participated.

Just take a selfie wearing no make up and text BEAT to 70007 to donate to Cancer Research. Let's save some lives! Get donating girls.
