LONDON - Madame Tussauds and Harry Potter Studio tour.

So really recently I went on a short trip to London with my family and thought I'd tell you about the experience I had. I've been to London on many occasions but I've never been to London and done these things before, it was all new and very exciting!

 

So for starters my outfit on the first day I wore a Aztec print midi dress from Newlook it was on the cheap side and was super comfy, then as it was quite a warm day I didn't wear a coat. For my feet I wore some white frilled socks with my juju jelly shoes. Finishing the look off with my pink Cambridge Satchel.

 

Alright then so on the first day which was Sunday me, my mum, my dad, my sister and my sisters boyfriend all travelled down to London for an early birthday present for my dad. Starting the day with a yummy McDonald's breakfast we took a 2 and a half hour long car journey. Once arriving at our Hotel (Hilton Wembley Stadium) we dumped our bags and headed for the city centre. Many tube stops later we had a drink and some lunch at the Living Room in a lovely little court yard, it was such a lovely atmosphere with a brass band playing in the background. After that we headed to Madame Tussauds, this was my first time here so I didn't know what to expect, the wax works were amazing and they were done in such detail. Even though it was really crazy and busy it was still an amazing experience!

 

After we spent a couple of hours round there we went to Covent garden for some dinner, we started off with a couple of drinks at Henry's bar and then ate at Palm Court! it was one of the best meals I have had but I was extremely full afterwards!! Then towards the end of the night we had a drink in the hotel, but I was just so tired that I barley could keep my eyes open, so it was not long until I headed off to bed!

Here's some snaps we took throughout Sunday:

Me at The Living Room

Kate and William

Pope Benedict

So these are just a few pictures of the Sunday, I thought I'd only put a couple on as I thought you might get a little bored of pictures just off me and my family. 

So the outfit I wore on the second day were some light blue dungarees with a black and white striped crop top both from Topshop, again some frilled socks and my navy and pink gazelles, then again my pink Cambridge Satchel.

So this was my last day in London and it was absolutely fantastic, we went to the Harry Potter Studio Tour, when we got there all of us were super excited, looking round there were many pictures and props from the film.

So basically you start off by watching a short video clip off what Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint had to say about there 10 years working on the set. After that finished, the screen rose and the doors of the Great Hall stood there, Basically all the way round were the props and scenes from all of the films, from the Great Hall and Privaet drive, I was amazed  by it all. Then top it all off at the end of the  tour was a smaller size Hogwarts that they actually used to film the Hogwarts scenes, seeing every detail was breath-taking and actually blew me away.

Again here are some pictures from the Hogwarts Tour:

So as you can see its been a pretty filled couple of days in London, if you ever get the opportunity to go and visit either Madame Tussauds or the Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studio Tour, GOOO!  it was a great experience and I'm so glad that I did it!

 

Thanks for reading

My review on Put on Wonder foundation, oomph-lash prime and oomphlashmascara

Hi everyone, So for starters I would like to apologise for my absence recently, I have just been super busy with school work and other things, but do not worry I have some great new posts coming up really soon. So yes, lets begin!

So recently I have just been sent some amazing products from Cuepido cosmetics, a make-up company that believes “makeup enhances the exquisiteness in every women".

So I got sent the Put on Wonder foundation, the oomph lash prime and the oomph lash waterproof mascara. The Packaging is cute and simple and made it really exciting to open to find the goodies inside.

The Put on Wonder foundation is Cuepido's best seller and I can see why, the smooth, fluid foundation complimented the skin perfectly and gave it a smooth, finishing look. It provides light to medium coverage, I got the colour ivory as I am a pale person and it suited my skin colour perfectly but you can buy it in cream, buff, honey and amber. The foundation lasted all day at school and even until later on in the night until I took it off. The pump at the top made it easy to get out as much as I wanted and didn't make it hard to get the foundation out. Vitamin A, C and E helps to protect the skin against free radicals and other environmental stresses. SPF 15 also gives us a little more protection from the sun!

- The reason why I love it and many other people love it:

-water Based Formula

-Flawless finishing

-Broad spectrum SPF 15 sun protection

-Buildable coverage

-Contains vitamin A, C and E

Put on Wonder foundation
Colour ivory - $30.00

 

Ok so then the other products I got send were the lash prime and waterproof mascara, now I was extremely lucky as I was planning on getting a lash primer for a while now and as the opportunity came around I was extremely happy.

 

So these two products are a must have, they are a perfect combination for long, full magnificent lashes. Applying these two were easy and didn't take any effort at all. Normally after a full day of school my lashes become droopy and smudged but after wearing this combination of the prime and the mascara they looked the same from when I applied them in the morning.

 

Why I and Other people love it:

 Delivers nutrients ad strengthens lashes

Full volume and length

No more flakes or smudges

Delivers moisturised eyelashes.

oomph-lash prime and
oomph-last waterproof mascara duo - $28

 

So I would just like to say a big thank you for Cuepido cosmetics for sending me these products, so for you reading this now go check out there...

Shopping trip goodies

So the other day I went on a shopping trip with my family to Manchester and I bought a few things, so I thought I would share what I got. I never really go on big shopping trips, I always go at least once a month but I don't tend to get a lot. So these are what I purchased when I went:

Topshop lipstick ( OOH LA LA ) - £8

So the first thing that I will be writing about is the Topshop lipsticks, I got the colour 'ooh la la' and I have got to say that this is one of my favourite lipsticks! It is a peachy, orange colour and it is divine and is perfect for the summer time! The only problem I have with the Topshop lipstick collection is that after a couple of hours of the lipstick on your lips if goes a bitty and clumpy. My resolution to this is make sure your wiping off the bits that are bitty and clumpy and just apply more to give off a more smoother look.

Primark beanie - £3

As I was making my way around Primark I came across this beanie, now originally I was going to buy a bright neon pink one but I thought that this colour would fit with more things and that I would probably get my wear out of more. This beanie is just plain and would really good to vamp up an outfit!  

 

Primark running shorts - £2.50

 

Also from Primark I got these running shorts, after realising that I am incredibly unfit, I had to get myself into shape for the summer holidays, so I picked up so navy running shorts with a white trimming. These are really comfy and great to wear when doing a bit of exercise! But you could also wear these shorts even if your not doing any exercise, I think these would look great if your just nipping out somewhere and going for more off a chilled day.

Topshop vests - 2 for £10

Now I really needed something simple to wear with shorts or leggings, and when I came across these in the Topshop store I knew that I have found what I have been looking for! I was amazed to find that I could get two for £10, to me that's a great offer that couldn't be missed. I picked up a lime green and a coral colour, just because I needed a pop of colour to wear with denim short that really stands out.

Primark running jacket - £10

I also bought a running jacket from Primark, now my intentions for this jacket is not to go running in but to wear as a light jacket. After looking through some fashion magazines I thought that these jackets are really cool and I had to go get myself one. It was only £10 and for a jacket I thought that was really reasonable! Its really light so it would do for the winter time but its great for summer ( As we all know that Britain isn't great for pulling out the hot weather! )

 

Also on my trip I picked up some underwear, but I thought I would keep that to myself as its something personal! But don't worry its nothing special so your not missing out!

Hope you enjoyed it and picked up on something that you might be interested in!
