Resort World Birmingham

RESORTS WORLD BIRMINGHAM

Last night we went to Resorts World Birmingham to check out what it is all about!

I went and wasn't sure what to expect, I knew there was a hotel, casino and a few shops but didn't know how it would all fit together.

I heard that they had spent  £150 million!!! on it so I was expecting something quite spectacular!

 Whats there?

GETTING HOTEL

 A Luxury 4 star Hotel that looks so luxurious, will have to stay there! 

RESTAURANTS & BARS

There is plenty of bars and restaurants to wine and dine at including pizza express, TGI'S,  A tepinjaki restraunt and the likes of Nando's and GBK to be opening soon. We had a cocktail from the High line bar, which was nice and reasonably priced while we waited for our table to be ready downstairs.

THE VOX BUSINESS SPACE

There is a space that you can hire for events, while I was there was a lovely wedding on, it was lovely to see everyone in all there lovely sparkly clothes <3 

 CINEMA

The cinema looked pretty cool I must say! With 11 screens with 3D and IMAX  and lots of ice cream machienes I'm sure watching a film there wouldn't be a let down!

GENTING CASINO

This looked so much fun! will defo return to go here, they have 31 gaming tables, an outdoor gaming area where you can smoke and game but be covered by the wind and rain and there is lovely fire pits to keep warm, looks lushhhh.

OUTLET SHOPPING

 While a lot of stores are still empty or not quite finished yet there are stores such as Next Outlet, Lyntt, Sketcherts, Nike, H&M, Bench, Phase Eight, Pretty Green. A lot of these are discounted stores where you can grab a bargain. My boyfriend got some shoes that should have been £95 for £45 from nike! 

SPA & LEISURE

Wow! did this look luxurious, a pool, spa and treatment rooms. I saw a photo of the pool on one of the screens and it looks gorgeous. I can feel a  girly spa day coming on!! woo!

Overall, I would say I was impressed by it as it has some good stores and entertainment places. It will be interesting to see how it does. Im just not sure what will draw people there as posed to other places such as Bicester Village and Cheshire Oaks or even the bullring. However I will defiantely be returning to try my luck at the casino and to have a go in that beautiful swimming pool! If you are thinking of going I would certainly give it a look even if you just go for a drink and some nibbles!  Have any of you been? What did you do there?

Come with us to Stratford💚🏡

Hey all! 

On Sunday we decided to go on a day trip to Stratford! I took some pictures to share our day with you all 😀

I love Stratford as I feel it is unspoilt and a cute little place to visit. It's only 50 minutes away from me so therefore the journey is bareable! The open air market was on when we went so we had a look through there and they had some nice bits and bobs! I got some cute trousers with elephants and giraffes on! 

We went to Carluccio's for lunch, it was lovely. We had the Grandioso sharing platter. It has salami,Parma ham, pancetta wrapped in prawns,buffalo mozzarella,roasted peppers with pesto, chargrilled aubergine olives and homemade bread. It was incredible.

My Mum was going to Stratford too, so met up with her for lunch, love her to bits❤️

We did the typical touristy thing to do in and stood outside Shakespeare's birthplace! I'm so glad the weather was nice as the sun makes everything better

 Then we went to a place called The Aeden Hotel and had a coffee, seemed like a lovely place to stay. 

I found this cute sign in a shop that reminded me of myself.. I laughed a lot. 

We left about 5.30 and when we got to the car park the barrier was up so we did'nt have to pay! Happy days🎉

Cream Contour kit!

So this beauty came in the post to me today. 

God l love the post man 😍

Contour  kits are EVERYWHERE at the moment. They are soooo fabulous and can really make a noticeable difference to your face.  I've previously used a few kits including the sleek contour kit which after using this is actually quite hard to blend in. It can sometimes leave lines on your face so I decided it was time to try a cream based kit. Thats when I found this baby! An absolute steal on E bay for £3.99! Yep thats right £3.99! and FREE postage. I was shocked too.  At this price I was quite sceptical of how good this product was going to be, I wondered how long it would stop on my face and how they would look when applied. I must say I am pleasantly surprised, It's fab! There is 15  different shades in this case, each the same size and a similar size to a MAC eyeshadow. There are 13 contouring shades and 2 that are correctors. The licac shade is to help any discolouration in your face, and the green for any redness.

so go go go girls and grab these while you still can,  well worth the money.

get yours here. They are almost gone on Ebay from this certain seller. OOh!! I forgot to mention they give you a gorgeous flat angled brush to use also, although I haven't tried that yet. 

happy contouring!

if you'd like to see any of my other posts on contouring and how i apply the sleek contouring kit check out my other posts here  and here !

comments welcome, have you got one? what do you think of it?

thanks for reading
