The Bestest Week Ever

Sorry for the huge photo spam on this post, I just really wanted to share some photos of my past week with you all. A lot of close blogger friends and family read my blog and although I have many of them on Facebook, I have said for months now how I want to start sharing more personal things on here so here we go. Last week was a huge week for me, my boyfriend came home. As the people I want to know, know where Kayne was I wont go into it but it was massive for us all so I had the week off to celebrate and that's exactly what we did.

Tuesday we had a BBQ at a friends house, and the weather was so lovely. We also played beer pong (with beer and wine) which was so much fun although it takes such more time than you would think. I'm pretty sure I had sobered up by the time someone managed to pot a ball! Wednesday we spent the day seeing friends and Kayne met Laila-Mae, our best friends baby who is just over 2 months old. It was so cute. Wednesday evening we had a game on monopoly that I lost and nearly cried when I got out. BOOHOO.

Thursday we spent the day cleaning (FUN) and then stayed at my house in the evening. We never stay at mine so it was nice to relax in my own home. Friday we popped into town, Kayne got his eyebrows threaded (don't even ask!!!) and we had a monopoly rematch which again, I lost. Surprise surprise! 

Saturday we went to Stratford Westfield which was bloody amazing! I only bought a bubble bar from Lush as I didnt have any money to spend. Kayne spent tonnes though, and I will go back there again! Saturday night we had a welcome home party which was so amazing. So many family and friends came, it was so so lovely. The pictures are of me & Kayne, and then me with one of my best friend Danii. We had a really really good night, thank you to everyone that came!

Finally on Sunday, I was surprisingly hang over free so we spent the day lounging. If you remember, Kayne and I got a dog last year and whiles he was away, my very kind grandparents took Bailey as she couldn't stay at Kayne's on her own. We took her to Felixstowe for the day (a huge dive, it gets worse every time I go!) and showed off our new trainers (they are both Huaraches, in case you're wondering) which are little & large! 

I had the bestest best week and I'm so sad to be back at work but hey, only a few more days before bank holiday weekend and the week after we are going to Centre Parcs! Would you like to see a lifestlye-type post about that? Let me know!

I hope you enjoyed this kind of different post, please let me know if you want to see more (and if you want to see less haha). xx

Soap & Glory - Love At First Blush

Soap & Glory - Love At First Blush | Real Techniques - Blush Brush

These were two of my Christmas presents. I had asked for them both from my step dads mum & dad so I sort of knew what I was getting, however I was still very happy when I opened it! I hadn't seen the blush in real life, I found it online when I was frantically searching for a Christmas list (as I hadn't made one because I didn't have a clue what I wanted, shocking I know!)

Soap & Glory - Love At First Blush

Apart from the S&G tingly lipgloss that I think every blogger and their dog owns, this is my first S&G makeup product which is very exciting. I have heard amazing things though, so I was very happy to open this! 

Although online describes it as 'pink, pop & pearl' I've been telling people its almost like a blush, highlighter and bronze in one - because it is. The pink is very rosy cheeked, the lighter 'pearl' is SUCH a gorgeous highlight and you could easily use the third one as a bronze if you didn't have any to hand. 

As a fairly 'new' blusher user, I don't tend to change my blushers up much. I generally (as I do with all my make up) use the same product for months and then have a change up. I know I have accumulated enough make up for 20 girls in the past year but theres just something about changing my makeup I hate. I know where I am with my basic makeup and I know nothing can go wrong. What I'm trying to get at is that this gorgeous little thing has fast replaced my every day blush.

Real Techniques - Blush Brush

Although I asked for a blusher and a blusher brush, I didn't actually ask for them to come together so it was even more of a surprise when they did. I have wanted the RT blusher brush since.. well since I saw it I guess. Here's a strange fact: I have never bought myself any of the RT brushes I own. I couldn't tell you why, I just haven't. 

I would say that this brush is probably the best one I own out of at the RT brushes so far. I just love it. It's such a perfect shape and density to apply powder onto the cheek. I haven't tried cream blushes (because we all know me and cream blushes DO NOT GET ON) but I can imagine that it would also do the trick for those too. This is just 10/10, I luuuurve it.

Together these two are like a cheek dream-team duo. Don't believe me? Find out for yourself.

What is your cheek dream-team duo??? I'd love to find out!
