Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Contour Kit in Fair | Review

Thursday, 8 October 2015

Anastasia Beverly Hills has been one of the most talked about makeup brand in the last 2 years. Starting with their popular Brow Wiz that supermodel Cara Delevingne talked and raved about to get her infamous brows in shape, soon enough everybody has something from ABH. 

In 2014 ABH bought out a cream and powder contour kits in Light, Medium and Dark. Both was a hit, with the cream contour kit becoming a ''must-see-youtube-tutorial-on-how-to-get-the-kim k- contour-look'' 

I really wanted the cream contour kit. I bought the powder kit in light and its great! Highly recommend! But something about a cream kit make me want to take my contour to the next level. 
When I heard ABH was bringing out a fair contour kit I was excited! The light kit just seemed to dark for my fair skin. 

I got my kit from Cult Beauty, great place to buy ABH. When the product arrived I couldn't wait to start to try it out. 




The shades are from L-R
Soft Light a little bit yellow toned highlight 
Luster a sheer, shimmery, luminous shade 
Fair a neutral highlight shade 

Fawn a grey toned contour shade 
Shadow a more warmer toned contour shade 
Minx a deep neutral toned contour shade

My favourites are Fair and Fawn for day time and Minx for a night time contour look. Fawn is the perfect colour for fair skin, its grey toned so it isn't to pink, yellow or orange. It's great to create the false shadow. I do think the highlight shades are still a bit dark for fair skin so I use the shade Fair on my face and then top it off with Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Chantilly. 
Luster is odd. Do I like it or not? I don't know, for now i'll stick with my powder shimmer highlight shades. 

But overall I really recommend this to any fair skinned people out there! Its fabulous! But it did damage but bank at £39 for some cream contour...ouch! Any dupes there?! Let me know in the comment below! 

Available at Cult Beauty at £39

Until next time,

First Mac Palette - NEW Shades - Cranberry & Satin Taupe

Monday, 29 June 2015

Hi everyone! 

So I'm back and this is my first proper post since being back and it's starts with a good one! 
I've had my MAC palette for over a year now and still haven't finished it, so I thought with my voucher I got for my birthday I bought 2 new shades. 




MAC Cranberry and Satin Taupe both very popular eyeshadows. I got Cranberry after using my Charlotte Tilbury ''Dolce Vita'' eyeshadow quad. It has this berry/burgundy shade in it and it went so well with my green eyes I thought that Cranberry would be good for me. 

And of course, Satin Taupe one of the most popular Mac shadow you can get. I don't know why I haven't bought this before?! It's such a lovely colour that goes with every skin shade and eye colour. 




Cranberry is a frost finish with pink/brown undertones. It blends easily and can be used as a everyday look or a smokey eye. Goes fabulous with green eyes. 

Satin Taupe is a frost finish and has a slight purple undertone to it. This is a universal shade as it can be worn on it's own or a dramatic smokey eye. 





Overall I am very pleased with these eye shadows. What do you think about them? And what other mac eyeshadow would you recommend? Let me know in the comments below! 

Until next time

I'M BACK! Update, Health and WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!

Thursday, 28 May 2015

Hi, hello, bonjour!! I am back! That's right the great (or not so great) myself is back blogging! 

My last post was January the 4th 2015. As i'm writing this it's the 28th of May. Yup! 5 months of being away and being inactive not only my blog but my twitter also! 

Basically I've been ill since I wrote my last post on my blog. And it's only now that i'm better. My life has stopped for a good 4 months, being in and out of hospital, doctors not getting what was wrong with me, missing out on 18th birthday parties, missing hanging out with friends and so on. It wasn't until I went privet that they discovered something wrong with my gallbladder. There's a whole lot more to my health but it's so long I don't want to bore you. Anyway got surgery, recovered and it turns out my gallbladder was chronically inflamed and was poisoning my blood. Great. 


But now i'm well enough to do stuff and live my life!! Hooray! 

So just a quick little post saying that i'll be back blogging again soon!

(I watched a lot of Pretty Little Liars on Netflix whilst being ill ha!)

2015 Blog Resolutions | Annalalee

Sunday, 4 January 2015

Happy New Year!! 

Even though I started this blog in summer 2013 I wasn't the one to be really into blogging, mainly writing 1 post a month. Come September 2014 I really started to blog. I would post more than 1 post in October, November and December. So really, late 2014 I really started to blog. 



So what are my 2015 blog resolutions? 

To Keep My Blog Updated - I don't want to go down the route of posting once a month again. I want to at least write 10 post a month. 

Blogging Is a Hobby, Not a Chore - I've been very stressed with my blog in the last couple of months, thinking I need to get followers, post a lot, post on twitter etc and it really did get to me. I was very stressed with everything and I don't want it to be like that! Starting this blog was just a hobby and time passing for when I was doing nothing in the summer. And that's what I want it to be like. Hobby not a Chore. 

Follow More Blogs - I'm really bad at finding other blogs that I like, you could just say im very lazy (lol) but I would make it my effort this year to follow lots of blogs! 

Talk More - I really need to start getting into the #bbloggers chat. And commenting on blog post. I don't know why I don't it's not like it's a hard thing to do is it? 

Make a YouTube Video - I know this isn't blog related but I've always wanted to do youtube. Little known fact I actually did videos back in 2010, makeup tutorials, hauls etc but then my school friends found my youtube and I was so embarrassed that I stopped and deleted my channel and videos. I regret that decision. Imagine where I would be now if I hadn't stopped?! 

Make a Friend - I really want to make a friend through blogging. I just think it's a fantastic way of becoming friends with the same hobby as you! 

Write More Baking Posts - I really love to bake! And I got this idea in December of ''hey I should write baking post!'' So watch this space for more braking recipes! 

And that's all I can think of! Have you got any resolutions? I'm never the one to make resolutions since I always brake them haha. Hopefully this year I wont! 

Let me know in the comments what are you resolutions!

Full Coverage Foundations #3 | Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation

Saturday, 20 December 2014

Back when I was on accutane - a acne medication for severe acne - my face obviously broke out to the max! Going through bottles of ''full coverage foundation'' and none of them really gave me the satisfaction, I cam across this little number. 


This to me is my all time favorite full coverage foundation. A little goes a long way and its very pigmented, great for covering redness and imperfections. This was my go to foundation whilst on that medication simply because how it didn't irritate my skin, didn't brake me out, covered all my acne and was very long lasting! 

Being a mousse texture foundation it's easy to blend and instantly gives a full coverage. It does has a slight fragrance to it but you can not smell it once it's on your face. Another good point is that this foundation has a satin finish. Great for those with dry skin! 

Available in 10 shades this retails for £34 and you can get it here 

Have you tried this foundation? Let me know! 

Until next time

On Your Christmas Wish List... | Charlotte Tilbury Wonder Glow

Monday, 15 December 2014

Charlotte Tilbury makeup is becoming one of my favorite brands. I think her products are amazing quality and very glamours! After reading many reviews of different products from her I decided to buy the Wonder Glow Instant Soft Focus Beauty Flash...primer? I like to call it? That's what I use it for, but you can wear it like a primer, mixed with foundation, over foundation or just on its on and it will give you an amazing healthy looking, sun-kissed skin. 



I mainly got this because of it's ''soft focus'' effect. It will vanish imperfections but still give you a luminosity look. It's one of them products that you need try in your life! It just makes your foundation look flawless and perfect! 

It has a golden undertones to it that gives you the most beautiful sun kissed look. The only downside I have for this is the fragrance. I'm not a fan of fragranced makeup (although lipstick/lipgloss doesn't count) It's not an overwhelming scent to it but you can defiantly notice it. But it doesn't brake me out! Win!

It retails for £38.50 and you can get it here 

Defiantly a worth on the christmas list! 

Until next time

Full Coverage Foundations #2 | Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation

Thursday, 11 December 2014

The 2nd blog post about full coverage foundation features this little number. Tarte has been one of the most talk about brands in the last 2 years, and their 12 Hour Amazonian Clay foundation has been one of their best selling products. 


Being Tarte this foundation is very friendly to the skin. Using natural ingredients and has an SPF of 15 it doesn't go wrong for the skin. It's a semi-matte, buildable and has 16 shades to choose from. 

Again with this foundation is had a mousse, thick texture to it but when applied it turns out smooth and silky. It's defiantly on the medium to full coverage. For example, if using a beauty blender to apply you will get full coverage but applied with a brush you will get medium coverage. 

This is a great foundation if you have oily or normal skin. My combination skin did not like this. It showed dry patches on my skin and left my nose oily. I have to say that the power stay it great it did not come off after wearing it for 12 hours. I did find that I could feel this foundation on me. But I am really impressed with their colour range! 16 shades with cool, neutral and warm tones! Brilliant! 

You can get this foundation if your from the UK here for £32.50 

Overall I would't buy this again for me. My skin and this foundation just doesn't go well. 

Have you tried this foundation? What do you think about it? Do you want it? Let me know! 

Until next time

Cleansing Oils & Balms | Which One Is The Best?

Tuesday, 9 December 2014

I've been using cleansing oils a lot this year. I first used ''L'oreal Paris Skin Perfection Miracle Cleansing Oil'', I bought it simply because i've heard about cleansing oils and saw it on offer. After making good research I discovered that ''The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil'' was a big hit in beauty world. 

I love cleansing oils they are so quick taking off your makeup. 3 pumps and 3 damp cotton pads and all my makeup is off within 3 minuets! 

But are they better than balms? Balms have been here longer than oils, I think simply because people are afraid of using oils as cleansers. Some great cleansing balms are ''Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm'' and ''Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm'' 


When I was in Canada in September I forgot to take my cleansing oil with me. Knowing I loved the camomile cleansing oil I bought the balm version of it since I have never tried balms before and it was small and compact to travel with. 

So are balm the best? With this one, no. I found the oil a lot more easy to work with and quicker to use. With the balms you have to warm them up in your hands before and I just find that really hygienic even though my hands are clean. I also didn't like how it felt on my face, rubbing it in felt really greasy and doesn't feel like i'm taking off my makeup, but of course it did. 

For the price of £10 for the oil and £12 for the balm you couldn't go wrong for trying them. 
Have you ever tried any cleansing oils/balms? Let me know in the comments! 

Until next time

The Best Exfoliator for Sensitive Skin!

Monday, 8 December 2014

When you have sensitive skin it's hard to find an exfoliator that doesn't irritates your skin. Well let me introduce you to ''The Body Shop Aloe Gentle Exfoliator for Sensitive Skin'' 


I've been using this for about 2 months and it's definitely the best exfoliator for my skin. The other exfoliator I used was to drying and harsh on my skin. It left my face feeling tight and an extreme flaky nose. 

The aloe in this helps calm your sensitive skin. It also hasn't got big exfoliating beads, it has small fine beads but just the right amount of them in it. 
It retails for £10 which I think is a bargain for this exfoliator! 

What's your favourite exfoliator? Have you tried this one? Let me know in the comments!

When Your Bioderma Runs Out...

Friday, 5 December 2014

For a good 2 years now i've been using Bioderma every single day. It's so quick taking off your makeup/eye makeup and gives you such an nice refreshed feeling on the skin. But when the time comes, your Bioderma will run out...Luckily more brands have finally found out about the amazing cleansing water. 


Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water has been raved so much this year that I just couldn't miss out on a review of it. 
Last year when I went to Paris I bought 2 big bottles of Bioderma that has lasted me nearly a good year! So when I used the last few drops of my Bioderma, I knew exactly what cleansing water I was going to get. 

If you don't know about Cleansing Waters, it's basically a makeup remover, can also use on your eyes. They are like makeup wipes but better! 

I was very happy with Garnier. They hit the spot when it comes to this product. Removes everything and doesn't sting my eyes! (Which I did find with their eye makeup remover, post about it ''Disappointing Products #1'' If you want to read about it) It's gentle and doesn't dry out the skin. For a steal of £4.99 you can't go wrong with it! 

Let me know what you think about cleansing waters? Do you like them or not? Ever tried Bioderma? Let me know! 

Until next time

Full Coverage Foundations #1 - Vitchy Dermablend Foundation

Wednesday, 3 December 2014

Full coverage foundations are my life. I just love how handy they are for covering my scared skin from acne. Even though getting a full coverage foundation might be scary for some, how much is enough? Buildable? Cakey? Once you get a real good foundation you'll never look back. 


Let's start with the acne friendly one. This Vitchy Dermablend Foundation changed my life. It's a friendly foundation to those who have sensitive and acne skin. You only need a pea size amount of this and it will cover any imperfections. It also last up to 16 hours, although I would say more like 10 hours. It has ''Soft Focus'' effect on the skin to make it look flawless. And lastly it gives you a natural satin finish. 

The foundation has a mousse, thick look to it. Like Laura Mercier Silk Creme foundation and Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation. 

The downfall of this is the colour range. There are only 5 shades available. And most are dark. I have the lightest shade - 15 Opal - And I have to wear fake tan with it or else I can not pull it off. 

It ranges for about £16.00 in selective stores. 

What do you think about this foundation? Are you a fan of full coverage? Let me know in the comments or tweet me @Annalaleex 

Until next time

Dry Skin Be Gone! - Garnier Moisture Match - Dry to Very Dry

Tuesday, 2 December 2014

It's always a struggle to find a good moisturiser for me. I've been through so many bottles and jars of moisturisers but i've never had any luck with them, until now! 

I was using Benefit's Total Moisture Facial Cream when I suddenly realised that it did nothing for me. I tend to get a very dry/flaky nose and every time I was using Benefit's moisturiser it only made my skin a tiny bit less dry, but always when putting foundation on it would cling onto my dry skin.  


I was watching some youtube videos and this one girl was using this moisturiser, and her skin looked so beautifully radiant and none dry when she applied this. Of course I went out and bought it. It retails for about £5.99 from boots.  

After only using it once I noticed what a big different it made! My skin was smooth and hydrated and there was no more flaky skin on the nose! Result! Also it isn't heavy or greasy on the skin as it absorbs right in. Would totally recommend to those who have dry skin. 

What do you think of Garnier Moisture Match range? Have you tried any of them? Let me know in the comments!

Back to Blogging - Catch Up #1

Thursday, 27 November 2014

So i've been away from blogging for a week. Not that matters to anyone. But to me it seems like forever since I last blogged. But I have an excuse...it was my 18th last saturday. And I went a little bit hard that night...And I had a very important exam in college on wednesday so that needed time. 

But yes! I am 18! An adult. Even though this has nothing to with my blog, I thought I might write about it so in a couple of years I can look back at it and remember what an awesome night it was!

Let's start on the Thursday, 2 days before my birthday. My college friends got me this wonderful chocolate fudge cake which was amazing!  
Also these photos are all of my iphone...and snapchat...yeah.



 My signature pose with the peace sign haha! 

Then it was time to go out and partey! I've been out a couple of times before so it wasn't just as i've just turned 18 and experience alcohol for the first time. 




Here are only some snaps of the night, but it was so good to have 2 of my closest childhood friends celebrating my 18th with me! Since I live in Wales and from a very small town we basically knew everyone there and some of my friends that went to uni came back home and ugh it was wonderful :) 

I'm so thankful for everything I got and the awesome friends I have! :)

But good things come at a price...Right now I have a really bad head cold (well it doesn't help that your birthday is in November and it was raining that night and I didn't have a jacket sooo...) Also I lost my I.D and about £40 so yes. Great! Haha! 

What did you on your 18th? Did you celebrate it? Or you think 18th isn't that important? Let me know in the comments below! 

Until next time

Disappointing Products #1

Thursday, 20 November 2014

Sometimes I buy things mainly because of the great reviews I've heard of them. Others I buy not knowing how good it is. These are my disappointing products #1. 


1, Smashbox Hydrate Primer 
2, Laura Mercier Foundation Primer 
3, Garnier Express 2 in 1 Eye Makeup Remover 
4, Bleach London Silver Conditioner + Shampoo 
5, Sleek Eyeshadow Palette 

1, I've used 2 other different smashbox primers before. The original photoready primer and dark spot primer. I was impressed with the Photo Ready primer, the dark spot primer was for me to try and get rid of scars. I don't think it did anything for me. But since my skin is dry/dehydrated I tried out the Hydrate primer. Disappointed. Did nothing at all. Did nothing for my makeup to stay longer or look flawless. Nothing. 

2, And that's where the Laura Mercier Primer comes in. After seeing a good amount of hype about her primers, and loving the Silk Creame FfoundationI thought surly this primer is amazing! I was wrong. Again like the Smashbox it did nothing! It was a waste of money and product. 

3, I usually take my makeup off with a oil cleanser but hate it using it to remove my eye makeup off, So I bought Garnier's eye makeup remover, suitable for sensitive eyes. ''Suitable for sensitive eyes'' Bit of a lie there, Garnier? It made my eyes sting so much! Also my eyes were red and watery. A no go from me. But my mother uses it and she loves it!

4, Bleach London is one of 2014's biggest hair hype in the blogger world. From their crazy hair colours to their hair care range, I had high hopes for their silver shampoo and conditioner.  I bought the conditioner first thinking it would do my bleach hair a good condition treatment while taking out the yellow in my hair. 1, It did not take any yellow out and 2, It made my hair incredibly greasy! I can't use this conditioner since after 3 hours my hair is so greasy, disgusting! Same goes to the shampoo, disappointed with the conditioner i gave the shampoo a go. One good thing about it, it didn't make my as greasy as the conditioner, but didn't get any yellow out of my hair. 

5, I can't even remember the name of this Sleek eyeshadow palette, but all I can say about how disappointed I was with it. After sleek having many great reviews with their palettes I decided to buy one...and thought what is so amazing about it?! It didn't give any pigment and didn't stay on my eyelids. Maybe I just got a bad palette? I don't know...

Have any of you tried these products? Let me know in the comments if you agree of disagree with my review of them!

Top 3 Hair Texture Sprays

Monday, 17 November 2014

Hair texturing sprays...I live for them. They give my flat, thin, lifeless hair such a great boost and texture to them! Here's my top 3 


1, L'oreal Paris #TXT Texture Styling spray - £3.97 
2, Bumble and bumble Dryspun Finish spray - £21.50 
3, VO5 Dry Texture Spray - £4.19

1, This one gives you the best volume. When your hair is looking flat this gives your just the right amount of lift you need! Also it doesn't give you that tacky texture you get with some sprays. I also feel as if this is the best when you want messy, bed hair, looks like you gave an effort but you just sprayed this on your hair. This gets an A+ 

2, This one is the most expensive and the one I don't like the best. Don't get me wrong it does exactly what it says, gives you texture in your hair but I feel as it only last about 2 hours and then the texture is gone. But I feel as if this is the most nicest, light feeling sprays. That's why I use it. I have a feeling this might work better on thick hair...Let me know in the comments if you have tried this one and what do you think about it! 

3, My first texturing spray! It smells so good! I've had compliments on what I smell like when i'm using this, haha! This is more like the L'oreal one but without so much of the volume. It works amazing on giving you texture and holding it in place. You can scrunch your hair with this and it will stay like that for a good couple of hours!

So what do you think? Have any of you tried texturing sprays before? Let me know in the comments below! Texture sprays is a must have for fine hair!

Urban Decay Naked 2 v Naked 3 Palette

Thursday, 13 November 2014

Urban Decay's palettes are probably my favorite palettes of all time. They are just amazing! They have such great colours with a mix of matte, satin and shimmery eyeshadows. 


The first palette I got was the Naked 2. It was when I started getting into reading blogs and watching youtube, that I realised everyone used this palette. So I went and bought it. It has cool undertones to it that goes well with green eyes and just suited me well. 

Naked 3 is my latest palette to enter my collection. I LOVE the rose gold neutral eyeshadows in this palette! This one is utterly beautiful and since I just got it i'm still trying out different looks with it. But if you have green/blue eyes and blonde hair then you must get this palette! It looks amazing with them features! 


I personally feel that the Naked 2 is the best. I think that you get a lot more looks from it. With the Naked 3 because everything has pink undertones to it, it's sometimes hard to get/pull off a pink eyeshadow look. 

If your thinking of getting a Naked palette I would totally recommend the Naked 2. It has colours that will look good on everyone and has more of a variety of looks you can get with it. 

Have you get any of the Naked palette? What's you fave? Let me know in the comments below! 

Until next time!

The Top 3 Best Eyebrow Products

Monday, 10 November 2014

Eyebrows. They have been on trend for the last 2 years thanks to Cara Delevingne and her big, bold eyebrows. Now, I wasn't and never will be a fan of the bushy, bold eyebrows. I just think they don't look good on me at all and I totally prefer skinny, thin eyebrows. 
The last 2 years i've been experimenting what different brow products that works the best, by looking at youtube videos and blog reviews I have finally got the top 3 I love the best. 

L-R 
1, Sleek Makeup Eyebrow Kit - £8.49 
2, Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz - $23.00
3, Mac eyeshadow in Omega - With Mac 208 brush - £13.00 

1, Sleek eyebrow kit was my first ever eyebrow kit. It comes with a powder, wax, 2 small brushed & a small tweezers. I actually think that for £8 this kit is amazing! Plus it's my favorite one! The powder is truly amazing! It goes on smoothly and soft and gives you the right amount of powder you want for your eyebrows. 

2, Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz is one of the most popular brow product going. It got popular by Cara telling everyone that she uses it on her brows. And of course it was a hit. This is a pencil product and also comes with a brush at the end. I feel this product works well if you want bold eyebrows. Plus since it's in pencil form you have a lot more control with it. 

3, Mac Omega eyeshadow and 208 brush. This is a perfect colour for blondes. It has an ashy tone to it. I find that this is the easiest way of apply it. You have to build up the colour to get bold eyebrows. Plus the brush is amazing to apply with. 

What's your fave brow product? Let me know if the comments below!

Favourite Autumn Perfumes

Friday, 7 November 2014

Autumn my favourite season! I just love everything about it, from the cozy nights in to the sunny harsh cold weather. Love it! Now when it comes to the perfumes i'm a girl that changes her perfumes according to the seasons. Basically I wouldn't dare use Marc Jacobs ''Daisy'' in Summer, Autumn or Winter because it's my Spring fragrance. 

I feel as when the weather becomes dark and cold I tend to wear musky and heavy perfumes. Here are my fave Autumn fragrance. 


1, Giorgio Armani - Si - 30ml for £46.00
2, Thierry Mugler - Alien  - 30ml for £48.00
3, Jimmy Choo - Jimmy Choo  - 40ml for £49.00
4, Dior - Miss Dior  - 30ml for £47.00

And now for the hard part because how the hell can I describe the scents?!

1, Si is a sweet vanilla, woody scent. It has that woody/musky scent but with a twist of a sweet/fruity but not fresh scent. Some people like it others don't. 
2, Alien a very popular perfume! Again a woody scent. With white floral and amber notes. It smells so good! I can't get enough of it. 
3, Jimmy Choo first fragrance is a sweet and spicy scent. But don't let that spicy note make you think it smells like a curry (haha) You can barely smell the spice in it. Kinda smells like Si but swapped around with the fruity and spice. 
4, Miss Dior again with the vanilla and amber notes but a lot more light and fresh than the others. If you don't like heavy perfumes with a lot of musky/woody notes in them then try this one. 

What's your favourite autumn perfume? Let me know in the comments below!

Charlotte Tilbury - Love is The Drug - Blush

Wednesday, 5 November 2014

Hello everyone! 
Charlotte Tilbury- The brand of the year! I've seen her name and products everywhere in 2014 and even though it is a little bit expensive it's totally worth it! It's one of them brands where you KNOW every product will be amazing! 

I picked up Wonderglow Skin Illuminator and Love is The Drug blush whilst in London a couple of weeks ago. 
My mother has stolen my wonderglow and I can not review it before giving it a go! So be patient with that blog post..coming soon... 


''Love is My Drug'' blush is a light pink with very subtle shimmers in it that give you an amazing glow and healthy look. It looks amazing of fair skin girls. The pink and the shimmers makes you look radiant and awake without being too harsh. You can defiantly build this up plus a little goes a long way! 


The packaging has a 1940's vibe to it. Which is very refreshing to see in the makeup world.  


Excuse the blister on my hand...As you can see the blush is such a beautiful colour! This was only one swatch, it's just the right amount of pigment you need in a blush! This gets a thumbs up from me! 

You can get this blush here for £30 

Have you tried anything from the Charlotte Tilbury range? Let me know in the comments below! 
p.s - Do you think the Magic Cream is worth the money? 

Until next time!

18th Birthday Wishlist!

Monday, 3 November 2014

Hi everyone! 
It's November! Swear it was easter about 2 weeks ago...where has 2014 gone?! Anyway November, it's my birthday month! And I will be 18 years old. 18. What. I honestly can not believe I will be 18! They really do say that years go faster when your older! 
In Britain turning 18 is big. You become an adult and your legal to buy alcohol, vote, move out etc so this defiantly means big things are in store! 

For my 18th present I kindly asked my parents for a Kitchenaid Mixer. Not what you usually get from an 18 year old! But seeing as I love baking I thought this will be with me forever and will get good use! 

I think i'll then save up my birthday money to buy a Mulberry bag. It's my dream bag. I just think they are so classic and stylish and so very me! 

Hopefully i'll have a Selfridges voucher. I adore vouchers! I can't get enough of them! Haha! I think Selfridges is my favorite high end store it's just got everything you want from makeup to food to clothing! Brilliant! 

And of course I want to go out with my friends and get a few drinks. Why not?! That's what normal 18 year olds do right?! haha! 

Are any of you 18+ what did you do for your 18th? Go out and party? Had a lovely meal? Let me know in the comments below! 

Until next time
