An impromptu purchase at midnight on the motorway home. Is it just me or are website cookies kinda creepy? I was randomly scrolling through Twitter and there pops up a Coach ad, 20 minutes later I find myself checking out eagerly waiting for the confirmation email. Why do I know my card details off by heart? More importantly, why am I so easily satisfied with cute bags with gold details?  Capitalisation at its finest! 

What I adore about the 'Platinum Small Wrislet': 

+ Its the perfect in-between shade of gold & bronze 

+ Pairs well with evening outfits & weddings, that kind of shindig 

+ Easy to hold, fits well in the palm 

+ Fits my unnecessarily large S9 

+ Gold, gold & more gold hardware, of course 

+ A detachable wrist handle 

+ Soft pebbled leather, basically allows you to cram more than you think you can

A little trip to London on Saturday! Breakfast was spent in the cutest bakery covered in flowers, I tried my very first cronut iced perfectly with the greatest berry filling. We visited the British Museum, not only was the architecture insane but the exhibits were beyond me. Westfield was our next pit stop and basically where we spent the rest of our day shopping + eating.

A few years ago I would probably spend 45 minutes to almost an hour on my makeup and you must be thinking 'damn that's a LOT of time' and sure it was but now I spend a little less only because I'm using fewer products that pretty much have the same end result, that or I'm rushing for work or uni. But that is not to say I don't love spending 1 hour + getting ready for weddings and days out when I actually want to spend a little time on myself. So here's my quick little 'slap on a few products with a brush' and face the day look. 

When it comes to moisturising I always reach for an oil first whether it's Bio-oil or Vitamin 'e' oil as much as you hear 'oh you shouldn't use oil because you have oily skin bs' use what works for you & you only! I then follow up with my one & only Nivea creme and then any spot treatment I am using, I'll rotate between this salicylic acid from the Ordinary or the La Roche Posay effaclar Duo+ or even a little aloe vera gel. 

This heatwave has also pushed me to minimise my makeup routine to the point where I'll just be wearing powder for my base but if I want a little more coverage then I'll use a little concealer. As it's summer and we Brits want to milk the 'bronzed goddess' or the 'I've been on holiday' look as much as we can I sweep a little bronzer across my cheeks, temples & the bridge of my nose. I've also been crushing over this pink-gold blush from Kiko along with a generous amount of highlighter. 

I can never not curl my lashes just because curling my lashes is my equivalent to wearing mascara, I do not wear mascara or any eye-makeup daily only because of the amount of effort it takes to remove it. However, if I do want a longer & more defined lashes then I'll reach for this Kiko long-eyes mascara, trust me 1 coat and you're good!
