The Sunday Post : 2 weeks of bliss

Its back, I’m back, holy chic is back. And this is the first post of April. I have really been slacking on all ends of everything really but here is the low down on what I have been doing this Easter break and a little bit before that

First off, I must say I have really been enjoying the warmer weather spring has greeted us with. My skin as soaked it all up and basked in its warmth for sure. It also means you have another little friend tagging along with you – the shadow. But if the sun ain’t there, I am for sure inside and recently I have been browsing for more youtubers to watch. New ones can be a breath of fresh air but also great inspo for the mind and blog.

In other news, I passed my theory test. Why I am so overjoyed about this is 10 mins prior to taking it, I did a mock on at home and it said I would have failed (miserably) so super stoked about that. My test will be real soon, once I have money in the bank J

Something a little sneaky I also did was go on HOLIDAY! It was so nice to escape for a week and enjoy some music and just simply relax and unwind. Although it did interfere with Easter revision, it was hella worth it. I have a vlog all about it (yes a vlog can you believe it) coming tomorrow so keep your eyes peeled.

Being the television addict that I am, I finally came to the end of Gossip Girl which was so sad. It’s kinda obvious who it is all along but I still loved it soo much. I then watched and finished Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Do I have a problem? This show is another winner in my books and now I need something new to watch. Any suggestions for me?

The revision this break has been pretty much a no show but that just means I gotta work a little harder and a revision plan is in order. I hope I have this figured out like my brain seems to be reassuring me I do.

Breaking the bank seems to have also been in order this half term and I call this the rack of basics. It includes the beloved stripes, bland colours and my sixth form dinner dress might be hiding on there J a haul is coming soon DO NOT WORRY J along with the warmer weather, I have been using my Zara bag religiously as it is just my spring essential *hint hint* right now. I also dug out an old lipstick of mine from Collection’s gothic glam collection in Revenge 3 and I just loved it with my green checked shirt.
 
 
And to top it all off, I have been doing a tonne of filming, editing and picture taking. So much that I don’t think my laptop can handle it anymore and I may invest in the software soon. Super excited. Look out for new videos and vlogs soon

So there is the overdue ramble for ya. Next week will be spring week. A little late to the game but I still wanted to share some things with you. There will also be a vlog, another new sit down video and that lush haul and review you have been eager to find out about.

I now need to go and sort my life out before I get totally screwed over tomorrow at school. Hope you all had a fab Easter while it lasted and have a great week.
Love you all x

#6monthsedit : Favourites | Holy Chic


It was definitely time for me to go back to blogging basics and throwback with a favourites post. We are already 6 months into the year which is ridonkulous but I thought I would go through my beauty favourites of the past 6 months. I will try and keep this as text little (is that even right) as possible so I don’t bore you. I will explain myself for each product in 5 words J

Cocoa butter: light, moisturising, leaves skin feeling smooth

Nspa instant blur primer: oil based, slightly dry but an amazing primer

Garnier under eye roll on: refreshes eye particularly in the morning, reduces puffiness, I look more awake

E45 cream: helped out with problem areas, very thick and greasy all over but works well applied to problem areas under primer

Palmer’s night renewal cream: thicker consistency but great as an overnight treatment for the skin


L’Oreal skin perfection: blogger craze, removed makeup really well, stung a little if I got into my eye but did a great job

Simple toner: gentle, smooth, removed oils and dirt

Kleenex shine absorbing sheet: practical, removes oils but doesn’t disturb makeup

 
Colossal volume mascara: great for a more natural look, adds great volume and decent length

Maybelline gel liner: easy to use, post about it here:

Benefit they’re real: great length and gives amazing lashes but a tough little bugger to get off

Mua eyeshadow, copper colour, long lasting, separates a little but think primer

Miss sporty brown eyeliner: great for a natural look, would be good for summer

Eyeko eyelash curler: gives a great curl, I LOVE IT!

Angled eyeliner brush: has made my life 10x easier, post here:

Model and co black eyeliner: works well, doesn’t last all day but does the job, cult classic

 

Victoria’s secret mango temptation: sweet but not sickly, lasts all day, a little on the pricy side but a must have

Parade perfume: sweet but not sickly, scent lingers and nice in the morning

 
Argan oil heat defence spray: reduced amount of split ends, kind to hair

Argan oil hair treatment: leaves hair shiny, soft, smooth, silky, nourishing, repairs hair

Vo5 ultimate hold hairspray: lasts all day, holds a curl, weather resistant

 
Acetone free remover: gentle on nails, not potent smell, healthier nails

Coco butter hand cream: thicker consistency but does the job

Inecto coconut hand and nail cream: nourishing does the jobs, smells great and I MUST GET MORE

Barry M in Mushroom: great for colder months and really natural looking

Miss sporty gold glitter: nice decal/ring finger design but annoying to take off

Company coral polish: really nice colour (must find a similar one) but chips easily and doesn’t last long but I love the colour

NYC Spring Street: gorgeous bold colour last just over a week with only tiny chips, vibrant too

Carex hand gel: east to use pump, smells nice and I have clean hands

Whoa we are finally at the end. I hope that was short and sweet enough for you guys yet enough detail about the products.
