Not a Beauty Blogger But... FREE TOPSHOP!














All make up by Topshop.  Liner in 'Ink', Blush in 'Prime Time', Eye palette in 'Constellation', Brighten in 'Moonlight' & Nail Polish in 'Treasure'

We all know I am not a beauty blogger.  When I began blogging at the beginning of this year, I ended up drifting towards the beauty side.  Oh, beauty blogging, my dearest frienemy.  I soon realised, it wasn't for me. Trying my hardest not to be hypocritical but I do not personally enjoy reading blog post after blog post about make up and skin care products that I can't afford and will never buy but that's not to say I don't like the idea of beauty blogging and all the fantastic tutorials.  Ergo, I do love getting new beauty products and being able to rant and rave about them somewhere!


   I'm not going to go on a review the products (but I can if you comment below on which product you would like to be reviewed) but I will tell you that I got these pretty products as the gift for my 6 month Elle subscription.  Hurrah!  If I'm totally honest with you, this free gift (worth quite a bit of money) was the part of the offer that won me over.  But obviously the £10 for 6 months was a fantastic deal too.  It was supposed to come with Topshop's lippie in 'Whimsical' but I don't know what happened there because it didn't arrive...      Nonetheless, I think my favourite thing I received was this nail polish, it's just beautiful!  I've been fancying the metallic nail trend for a while but haven't gotten around to buying any.  You can't tell in these pictures but in real life the colour is just really subtle - it's like a metallic style nude with a tinge of orange with the way it pretty much fades into my hands (not that my hands are orange...I'm not sure how to explain it!  This is why I don't normally blog about beauty...!)  I'm also super gutted that all the nails on my right hand are a little longer and nicer than all of them on my left but due to being right handed, a left handed picture taking experience would not have been especially enjoyable.
    I already had the eye liner brush, but what's one more?  A freebie is a freebie right?!  I can't wait to use more of the products! Eeeeee!

Feels like summertime

trousers - Topshop, t-shirt - UO, jumper - Topshop, boat shoes - Topshop jewellery all Topshop, sunnies - UO

I took this photo on my dad's camera as mine is dead and we have no batteries, wah wah wah.  It's a little too bright and a little out of focus because this is the best of the bunch!  I have no idea how to work it other than to press record to film videos :(

So I'm wearing this today and I think it looks really cute.  There is glorious sunshine outside so I decided to show off some colours!  Orange, pink & mint do it perfectly I think and the trousers tone it down perfectly but keep it bright and summery with the print and lightness off them.  I finished it off with my jewellery just to make it perfect!  The only bad thing is that you can see the pink top through my thin trousers but hopefully it's not too noticeable...

I wasn't sure that is was shorts weather so I went for these trousers that I got for my birthday a few days ago as you probably know if you've seen either of my last two posts.  They're prefect for summer; they're a light material and they're a floaty comfortable shape that lets your skin breath and soak up the heat without clingy to you.  I am a skinny jeans girl all the way so when I wear trouser I always wear skinny jeans or skinny tapered trouser or patterned leggins all that are tights fitting on my legs and show the shape so I'm surprised at myself for liking these as they do none of those thing, but nonetheless I adore them!  Maybe because they're so not me that they're me!  If you get me...?

I'm off to read a book in the garden as all my friends are busy with family or dancing...grr.  Going out later on with my boyfriend and maybe we'll go for a bike ride or something I don't know yet!  Although tomorrow should be a great day, I'm going out with my lovely friend Sasha then I'm going for a meal with all my friends in celebration of my birthday then we're going to sit on the beach or something so it will be lovely!  Post should be up monday maybe?

have a good day! xxx
