The Cancer Awareness Selfie

This is a little bit of a more serious post than my usual purchase , but its a topic pretty close to my heart. As you've all probably noticed , the 'no makeup selfie' is sweeping across Facebook to promote cancer awareness, as well as the criticism of 'what does a selfie really help'. I won't lie , I kind of agree with the latter point but when I was nominated I just couldn't escape it. Cancer is something that lies close in my heart because it truly took hold of my family a number of times with my grandma ,she lost her battle with an awful disease and it truly has changed me as a person. I'm all about raising money for a good cause , I even managed to raise £500 doing a bungee jump for a local hospice that helped us cope and lately I'm toying with the idea of raising money by shaving my head. 

So with my selfie - I also attached the message donate £3 by texting BEAT to 70099 and i urge you all to do the same. Heres my no makeup selfie. Lets help beat cancer sooner

Spring is here - beauty

Well Spring is finally here and the sunshine is pretty glorious in Newcastle , and whenever the suns out I always have the overwhelming sense to start looking after my presentation a bit more , eat a bit healthier , even exercise a little bit more! Off i went to boots and since its 3 for 2 i bought 2 products:

-Garnier Micellar cleansing water  £4.98 - everyone seems to be on about it so I joined the hype too ( it also helped that i really needed a new cleanser after sleeping for a eek in my makeup) anyways , I understand what the hype was about, it is just gentle , no stinging eyes or lips , it just takes everything off! A Great cleanser , I followed it with my usual Kiehls cleanser and oh lord my skin is just so so so soft now and i haven't even moisturised yet!

-Dove Summer glow £4.98 ( his also half price at super drug atm but since i was doing 3 for 2 it worked out cheaper) In our house I'm the palest of them all and I really don't usually go for fake tans because I honestly think people just get a bit too fake tan happy. Buttttt i'm really missing my ibiza tan from last summer , I want to keep my subbed use to a minimum for my health and to top it off my housemates been using this and she looks AMAZING , i can't overemphasise how golden she looks , she also promised it was super easy to put on with a no streak effect.  Ive just applied it and it doesn't smell too bad ( still that tiny hint of biscuits) it is a little bit tacky so give yourself plenty of time to apply, it seems to be super moisturising but we'll have to wait and see what colour i come out! ( You can also get a lighter version for you super pale girls out there 

-Balmi lipbalm (in mint flavour) this was kind of an impulse extra as my lips are in awful condition from all the matte lipsticks i wear , I grabbed the mint flavour and gave it a whirl and I'm nor sure how i feel about it - I kind of wish i bough coconut or raspberry if I'm honest although it does give a nice tingle. I'd say it's a little bit greasy , nothing on carmex and I probably won't buy again but I will use it regardless!

More treats for me

I told myself for every 3lb I lost I could treat myself to new clothes (very good motivation to go the gym if I say so myself). Lately I've suffered from a stomach ulcer , cut down my food to cope with it and boom i lost 6lb , probably because I've replaced one meal a day with a super healthy smoothie which is also filling, so anyways - two treats for me!

I chose the topshop all sorts boots (£45) because i've wanted them for ages, and some comfy treggings from topshop in a poppy print (£28) (side note if you're interested in these definitely size DOWN , they're huge on the waist!
