My shoe love story

 I've been spending and have some treats to share with you all. My biggest bargain of the day was a pair of shoes, I know what you're thinking....boring! But you are wrong these are not just any shoes these are beautiful magical shoes that add six inches to my height and don't make me want to chop me feet off at the end of the night. Take a look at these bad boys.

 Now I know they are not going to be everyone's cuppa tea but they are mine. I was so happy when I saw these shoes sitting on the shelf in a size 5 shouting "Loren try me on, please Loren take us home" I forgot everyone and everything around me and ran towards them and when I saw the price I knew it was meant to be. I have recently been eyeing up a very similar pair in Topshop that were £70 but could never pluck up the courage to buy them. So when I saw the £20 tag plus the 10% discount I felt like I had just found the last golden ticket to Willy Wonkas chocolate factory. Me and my shoes are very happy together even though I have no where to wear them I'm happy just looking at them and prancing around the house in them for now. Gladiator sandals and wedges are very on trend for the summer season and this combines them both into one super shoe. The cut out wedge gives them a bit of an edge (haha that rhymed) and the tan colour means they will be easy to pair with anything. I admit they are not exactly the same as the Topshop ones and nowhere near the same quality but if you are on a budget my Matalan version are a great cheap alternative.

Hey guys! I'm back again and this time I have a Benefit Cosmetics haul for you. I've only recently entered into the beauty world but boy have I invested a lot of money in it already. I'm a sucker for anything pink and vintage so as you can all imagine I fell victim to cutesy benefit packaging.  I will just do a quick overview of some of my favorite and least favorite products.

I was lucky enough to be given the smokin' eyes pallet, and I absolutely love it. It has everything you need for creating the perfect look on a night out as well as a step by step guide to help you achieve the best results. It includes three eyeshadows one of which is a highlighter as well as brow wax and eyebright. along with this there is a mini eyeliner, blending brush (which is surprisingly good) and tweezers. It's very compact and would be perfect to travel with.  This sexy eye and eyebrow makeover kit is on the pricier side retailing at £28.50 but its a worthwhile investment.

I adore Benefits BADgal lash mascara. I tend to go for mascaras that come with plastic wands however pushed myself to try something different. The wand is BIG but its also BRILLIANT with two coats I can achieve long and full looking lashes. I'm a girl who likes the natural look and this is brilliant for bringing a bit of drama to my eyes. It passes all the basic mascara tests, It doesn't clump, it lengthens and volumes, lasts all day and it's easy to remove. I will most definitely be repurchasing this when pay day comes around.

Although everything may look pretty at the counter it doesn't mean the product inside is. I was very disappointed with the You Rebel Lite Tinted Moisturizer. Benefit claim  "Our defiantly different tinted moisturizers give your complexion coverage, moisture and SPF 15 protection all in one." I would just like to call BS on all of that. As for coverage there really was none. Other than it making my skin look orange in areas it did nothing. I can't comment on the SPF protection as there is never any sun in England. I tried so hard to make this product work but I just couldn't. I would not recommend this product there are far better tinted moustirzers on the market at half the price.  The £24.50 I spent on this 
means you don't have to. 

Thank you for reading
