Beauty Wishlist !

Hello beauties ! 
                            How are you all ? Good I hope ! Today's post is going to be my Beauty Wish List ! Just a few bits that I hope to be able to try out over the next few months !It is also kind of my birthday wish list because my birthday is in 2 weeks ! 


1: Bobby Brown 'Old Hollywood Palette' 
    Being a Bobbi Brown Fan I often browse on their website to see if anything catches my eye (and something always does) and when I was on it recently i saw this palette and fell in love ! It's a 9 colour Palette with a nice mixture of tones and there are some sparkly ones and also some matte ones.I really hope to get this !

2:Benefit Coralista :
I'm a big fan of the benefit boxed blushes,however I have not yet tried the coralista one and considering I always wear peachy kind of blushes it is really something I do need to pick up in the next few weeks !

3:Dior Airflash Spray On Foundation:
Well this has been on my wish list for a good while now but it's just one of those things I haven't gotten around to but I really want to ! 

4: Mac Neutral Palette
I know that most people build up their mac palettes but I really want to build up a neutrals Palette ! 

5:Naked 3 -urban decay
I am obsessed with my naked palette so you can only imagine how much I  am dying to get my hands on this!

ONLINE SHOPPING 101 !

                            ONLINE SHOPPING ! 

Hello lovelies ! 
      
 Today's post is going to be a bit of a weird one,last week I did a Q&A on my facebook page and one of the things I got asked alot about  is  Internet shopping,

-how to do it safely ?
-who's reliable ?
-what are some good online stores ?

 So I thought I would do a post that was like a masterclass for your guide to Internet shopping ! 

*disclaimer : I was not sponsored by any of the online stores I mention,just some of my personal favourites ! 
____________________________________________________________________

HOW DO I KNOW A WEBSITE IS RELIABLE ?  
This can be a bit tricky , I think if you know somebody who has ordered off a website and everything was legit or If a website is advertised on TV it most probably safe.If you are unsure about a online store do some research like google the name of the site and look for some feedback.If a website looks a dodgy or unofficial do not give them your credit card details !!  If you have questions about a certain online store leave the name in the comments below and I will see if I can find anything out for you !

WHAT METHOD OF PAYMENT IS SAFE : 
To order online you must own a card of some sort.Different shops will accept different types of cards.Personally I really only feel comfortable using a website that uses Paypal.You can get cards that are used strictly for Internet shopping and no credit card is needed however only certain online shops will accept this.

HOW MUCH IS P&P (POST AND PACKAGING) ? 
This  varies widely from store to store and it also depends where you are getting it shipped to and from.Because I don't live in the US when I order from there the p&p is quite expensive,but this would be the same if you lived in the US and were having something shipped from Europe.If you are looking for details on a certain store there should be all the information available on that website ! 

CAN I RETURN SOMETHING IF IT DOSEN'T FIT ? 
Again this will be different in each case.When internet shopping it can be quite hard to tell your size because you can't try it on so every store I have bought from has a fair returns policy but make sure to read the returns policy on the website before making a purchase ! 

WHAT IS A DISCOUNT CODE ? 
A discount code is like a coupon for online shopping.

SOME GOOD STORES ? 
These are just some stores that I personally L.O.V.E ! 

(I actually haven't bought anything from JAWBREAKING  yet but I heard about and seen so many nice things on twitter so I'm definitely gonna buy something this week ! ) 

Also: Have you guys heard of the hunt ?It is my newest favorite App ! Basically when you see an outfit,or a pair of shoes or even a phone cover on instagram or tumblr etc and you want to know were to get it ?You just screenshot it and upload it to the Hunt and then the community will leave you a link of where you can get it !It is the best app ever or you can just use the website @https://www.thehunt.com/ :) 


And that is it for today ! I hope you may have found this post slightly helpful ?  comment if you have any other questions, make sure to follow my blog & follow me on twitter  ! Love you all -Abby xox

Daily Chatter !

Hello lovelies ! Today's post is something new.Just letting you get to know me ? I hope it's okay! So grab a cup of tea and let me tell you about my week .......

This week has been tough ! I re-started school after the christmas break and getting up at 8 am for classes was a bit difficult haha but you gotta do what you gotta do ! I also had to study like crazy all week for upcoming exams,but I must say that throughout my study sessions my obsession has been tea just plain regular tea weird right ? But yeah I find it really calming and relaxing!Also Because one of my New Years Resolution is to get more organised I also stayed up most nights to organise notes,assignments etc ! But I now it will be worth it in the long run ! 

Usually just before bed I am on twitter but I  have been reading 'The Fault In Our Stars' by John Green and it is one of the most inspiring books I have ever read .it is literally a work of art if you haven't read it yet get it nowww (or maybe just  next time your in the shops ) You won't regret it ! 

And now It's finally friday ! And I am relieved to take the night off and I am now chilling with a hot cup of tea,catching up on blogs,twitter and youtube vids ! I hope you all have a lovely weekend! Let me know what you think of this post ?Please and also I was thinking of doing a room-decor blog post  series ? What do you guys think ? 
                                                                        Lots of love -Abby xox
