Primark at The Fort

Primark at The Fort! 

Wahhhooo! It's finally open. I've waited so long for there to be a Primark closer to me other than the Birmingham store and this is literally 15 minutes down the road! 

I went yesterday with my mum on the opening night. It was so good, so clean and tidy for a Primark! I hope that's not just because it is new. The changing rooms were lovely and tidy. OK the queue was long but that is to be expected! The staff were all lovely speaking to you as you went round and having a conversation with you at the till. They even have a few sofa's dotted around for you to sit on! 

There was huge sections for each type of clothing including, lingerie, pyjamas, beachwear, a huge shoe section, bags, trousers, gym / activewear. 

I'm so happy to not have to go to Birmingham every time I need something from there or even to return anything! I managed to only spend £30!! Thank god as I don't get paid till tomorrow but i will defo be returning soon after payday! If your thinking about going I would defo recommend it's like a posh primark😂

Here are some pics of it for you, oh and also, it's huge!!! 

Ultimate Blends - The delicate Soother ♡

Hi hunny's! 

Being a hairdresser, I like to try the high street products that you guys rave about so I can have an alternative to recommend to clients who buy from the shelves instead of in salons. 

Recently I have heard great reviews  on Ultimate Blends 'The Delicate Soother'. I LOVE some of the others in the Ultimate blends range so why not give this one a go!? 

 I picked these up in ASDA for £2 each! So £6 for shampoo, conditioner and a body lotion. What a steal!!

First of all the smell of this range is beautiful! I could smell it without even opening the bottle! The main ingredients are rice cream and oat milk. The packaging is sooo pretty and girly. Almost a little like the dove packaging as they always go for white and a neutral colour. 

Even the name 'The delicate soother' sounds comforting!! I was worried that it would make my hair lank as my hair is quite fine, but I gave it a go and was pleasantly surprised. This shampoo really soothes your scalp leaving it feeling moisturised and super clean. The shampoo itself is really quite thick, so you don't need much of it. It lathers up lovely and leaves your hair feeling so clean and moisturised. The conditioner is a lot thinner than I thought as I thought it would be more of a treatment style but never the less it did the trick, detangling and nourishing my hair.

All in all I am pleased with this product. And will defo re purchase! You will not be disappointed!

FLAWLESS Revolution Eyeshadow Palette

I must tell you all about this fabulous little palette I have found.

The brand 'Revolution' has taken the makeup industry by storm in the past few months and I can see why! All of their products I have tried so far have been amazing, stay tuned for my next blog post on their contour and highlighting kit! 

This Eyeshadow palette comes in beautiful rose gold packaging, which was what really caught my eye. It also has a mirror running along the full length of the palette which is what I look for when choosing eye palettes.


The exterior has a black glossy finish to it which makes it easy to wipe clean after use. It also has a snap shut function on the front so there is no risk of leaving it open and spoiling your eyeshadows.

It has 32 different eyeshadow colours with different textures to each one, some matte, ideal for bases and others metallic/sparkly.
The colours are a great variety including day and night shades which means its great for the week and weekends and there is no need to carry multiple eye shadows in your bag!

As you can see by the usage on this i love the Copper Shimmer shade in this palette. It's a lovely copper colour and being blue/green eyed i like to use this to make my eyes stand out. Im excited to try the rest, Red night looks like it could be lovely with a black smokey eye.

Here is a look I have created with this palette using colours, paper (top left) , highlight (top row, 4th in), Copper shimmer (3rd row, 4th in).

Now, where to get it and the price! I picked this up in my local Superdrug shop for drum roll please .... £8! You can't go wrong with this girls, the pigment's in the shadows are amazing, I would say it is on par if not better than the Naked palette's!!

Have you tried any of the revolution eye palettes? 

until next time

KIKO ultimate pen

Welcome back to my page,

Today I wanted to share my recent find with you, It is the KIKO ultimate pen, long lasting black eyeliner. 

If you are anything like me liquid eyeliner scares me! Infact I'm rubbish at it, so this tip make the whole experience 10 times easier. I love this and I can tell I will use this as an everyday/handbag liquid liner when your out and about and doing things, The design of the pen makes it so effortless to use and easy to make many different kinds of thick/thin liner styles. The tip is like a Berol felt tip, it bends with your pressure and it is easy to build so you can apply  much or as little as you like. 

I Especially love the shape of the grip on the pen where you would usually hold it while applying the liner. The liner stays put for about 5\6 hours then it does start to smudge but nothing major.

They sell this in the KIKO stores for £6.90 which I don't think is too bad & they often have deals on, yesterday I picked one up for £4.00, thank you very much :)

Whats your favourite liquid eyeliner?

Batiste Heavenly volume dry shampoo💆🏽💁🏽

Happy February lovelies! Hope you've all had a fabulous weekend, I am going to be reviewing Batiste's Heavenly Volume Dry Shampoo,

 As you can see the can is super pretty with pink and purple patterns that really catch your eye, it also looks pretty in your bag or on your dressing table.

Batiste is pretty much the only dry shampoo I turn to when I'm not washing my hair, Not only does it refresh your hair, but it gives it a bit of life too! I was a bit sceptical to the claim at first that it can also add volume, but since I have naturally straight, flat hair i thought I had nothing to lose.

I used this on Saturday night before I went out and yes, it does deliver show stopping volume, if you know me you know I like my back combing and height, so this is perfect for me. Like all other dry shampoo's in there range it is white but does disapear at the stroke of a brush. 

I picked this up from tesco for £2.99 but I'm sure you can get it from all kinds of retailers, boots, super drug etc. This is my hair on Sunday after using it on the Saturday night and as you can see it is still full of volume. 

I think this may be my new favourite from Batiste. I had a thing for the coloured deep brown spray. I'll hold tight and wait until hey make a brown volume spray! 😏

Thanks for stopping by
