December Favourites!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and new year! I am definitely back and ready to get more blog posts up here! Can't wait to see what 2016 will bring this year :)  

I also got a new camera for Christmas so let me know what you think of the pictures and if you feel they're better than before when I was just using an iPhone! 

Okay so here are the Beauty products I've been loving in December! 

Visiting Berlin!

I just spent a lovely long weekend in Berlin as a last minute holiday before going back to University and back to a life of studying, essays and stress. May as well enjoy the last bit of freedom I have! 

We flew from Glasgow International airport and stayed in a nice hotel just outside the city. All in all flight and hotel cost me £246.

The public transport in Berlin is amazing! And it was easy to get in and out of the city quickly and the subway is a great link between all the tourist attractions you'd want to see.

While in Berlin I purchased the Welcome Berlin card, This card gets you free public transport and percentages off tourist attractions like the TV tower, Madame Tussauds and the open top bus around the city. I highly recommend this card if you want to go around all of the main tourist attractions but don't want to be paying full prices. I think this would be great for big groups and families to save yourself a bit of money. You can buy this card for anywhere between 2-5 days.

Here is the link to the website for anymore information:

My August Favourites!

FINALLY I have a chance to sit down and write a blog post! Who knew working full time would be so tiring!

Anyway these are the products I used in August and I loved them!

Estee Lauder Double wear foundation and powder review

I purchased Estee Lauder's Double wear foundation in the colour 1C0 Shell (£30) and their powder in the colour 1N2 Ecru (£33)

Barcelona Make-Up Haul!

So recently I went on holiday with my friends to Salou in Spain!

During our stay we took a trip to Barcelona and that's where my love for Sephora and Spanish makeup brands was born! (How could these not be in the UK??) 

Here are the Products I purchased while in Barcelona! :)

Drug store lipsticks!

Lipstick can add a pop of colour to any make up look and I know from being a student that buying high end lipsticks like MAC isn't always the best choice when trying to stick to a budget. 

So I have decided to show you my favourite drug store lipsticks that won't leave your bank balance crying at the end of the month!

I'll leave the names, price and links to where you can buy!

October Favourites

Hello Everyone! 

These are just a few things I've been absolutely loving last month!

One Lovely Blog Award

Firstly I'd just like to thank Victoria Jane from Victoria Jane Fashion for tagging me for the "one lovely blog award". This tag is a great way of learning something about fellow bloggers and letting readers learn something about you!

Halloween eye makeup!

As we are fast approaching the spooky season of Halloween! I thought I'd try out some Halloween inspired eye makeup which is more for a dress up party rather than a day to day basis. I hope this gives you a little bit of inspiration when planning your make up! :)

On the left I have tried to create a spooky night scene by using eyeliner and my eyebrow as a silhouette of a tree. On the right I went with a classic, a spider web! And in my books spiders are creepy!

My make up bag favourites!

In the last year I have defiantly bought my fair share of make up! So I thought I'd show you the 10 products which are my favourites right now!



1. Nars sheer glow foundation- This is actually quite a new purchase for me but I've been absolutely loving it so far! I have it in the colour light1 siberia because I am extremely pale but it just sits on my skin brilliantly and the coverage isn't too much.

What is a Spare bit of sparkle?

Well that is a very good question! because if I'm honest... I don't really know!

This blog will be a little bit of everything! 

Advice, fashion, reviews, lifestyle, and even just random things I want to post!

I hope you enjoy my posts! And please feel free to leave me a comment or drop me an email! 

You can also follow me on twitter to be told when I post a new blog post! 

Thanks guys!
