That Lame Company

Product - £4.99

That Lame Company produce super cute products at super affordable prices including phone cases and deskpads, innovated and designed by two graduates; Chloe and Charlie. Founded in 2014 and with exciting plans for the future these are just four prints from their collection of products that are completely blogger and instagram worthy! 

This pack of four A6 art prints are appropriately named 'Insulting Incentives' and I absolutely loved them from the minute I saw them. Hand designed and digitally coloured they were created by thinking of the things we regularly find ourselves doing instead of when we are meant to be being productive and getting things done! They are relevant, funny and motivationally insulting, and give me a boost every time I read them. 

UK postage is free (yay!) and overseas is just £2. Furthermore, their notebooks are made from 100% recycled materials, and I adore the packaging my products arrived in - so cute, so there really is no reason not to love That Lame Company.

Follow them on social media and visit their website to browse more products and find out a bit more about the company.

Halloween 2015

My best friend and I love Halloween and try our best to out-do ourselves each year, or at least choose just as good an outfit or idea. I wanted to challenge myself creatively this year and decided to go as a cracked doll! A popular choice, but one I have never thought of before and I loved experimenting with looks and ideas. 

I really enjoyed creating a make up look and drawing lines on my face to make the cracked look, as well as coming up with a cute outfit to wear! 

I am already planning my costume for next Halloween!

My April Favourites

The Body Shop Instablur £14.00 - This is by far my favourite primer out of everyone I have ever used. I was just slightly disappointed at the size of it for the price I paid, but despite that, I have no other complaints about it. I noticed very early on that it minimised the appearance of my pores and once my foundation is  applied it definitely keeps the shine at bay as I find myself having to re-powder a lot less often. I've also noticed that this product has a hint of a smell to it and I am obsessed with it! It makes me look forward to using the product everytime I apply make up. 

Make Up Revolution Ultra Blush Palette in Golden Sugar £6.00 - This palette comes with eight gorgeous shades, one matte and a long mirror (always a bonus). I find two shades to be the perfect highlighter, three to be lovely pinky blush shades, two a shimmery bronze and one to be a perfect shade for contour as it is matte. All shades are pigmented and differ even though some appear to be similar shades. I have used this everyday that I have worn make up in April and I am sure that it will continue be a part of my daily routine for a long while yet. 

Original Source Vanilla and Raspberry Shower Gel £1 at Superdrug - I love these shower gels, they come in a range of scents but this one is my favourite. It's super sweet and smells good enough to eat! You can create quite a lather with it and it leaves your skin smelling lovely for hours afterwards! 

Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser £1.98 Superdrug - I could not believe the quality of this product for how inexpensive it is. The first time I used it I woke up in the morning and could already notice a huge difference in my skin. It leaves it feeling really soft, the cream soaks in well and it doesn't leave a sticky residue behind. 

Glitter Liquid Phone Case £3.95 - These are so pretty! There are lots of different colours on eBay and its perfect for when you are bored as you can sit and watch the glitter move for ages!

Lime Crime Velvetine Cashmere $20 - I bought this on Dollskill.com due to the whole Lime Crime incident, and it arrived within a few days. I've wanted to try this shade for ages and I was so super pleased with it when it arrived that I've been wearing at every opportunity I can. It's a lovely purple/grey shade but it is still a lovely nude and really transforms a make up look. It easy to apply, creamy in the tube and dries matte but it is not drying on the lips. 

Comment your opinions on these products or link me to your April favourites post - I love reading them!

Bath/Shower Products Storage

In no way is this an innovative or creative idea. I have seen may photos across blogs, Tumblr and Instagram of people's organisational skills when it comes to storing their bath and shower products and accessories where I got inspiration for how to store mine. 

Here are a few pictures of how I store mine. :) 

 

I'd love to see how you organise yours!

Halloween 2014

My best friend - http://thesecreationsbybeth.blogspot.co.uk/ and I decided to dress up as Disney Villains this year and we had a great time! I really enjoyed finding my outfit and looking up make-up ideas for the Queen of Hearts. Here are some of our photos from the night!

    

 The quality isn't all that great as these are only iPhone photos! Hope you all had a great Halloween :)

Recently I received this lovely item from velvet sky designs. I have nothing but positive words for this adorable jewellery collection!

                                      

All pieces are beautifully hand made and are super reasonably priced! Since my item arrived I have worn it with pretty much every outfit, and it looks super cute on. 

Please follow velvetskydesigns on Instagram and check out the lovely pieces of jewellery. 

Here is my choker styled with some other pieces of jewellery from my collection.  

I hope you go and check out the jewellery, you're collection will definitely be missing out without one of the adorable items, and the delivery time was so quick so you won't have to wait long!
