My perfect weekend

This weekend was one of those weekends where you look back at it and think... Yeah. That was such a perfect weekend. Just little things that make it a really good time, you know?

It started on Friday when I saw my gorgeous boyfriend after work and we made our classic stir fry for dinner. Food makes me happy. As does he ;)

Stir fry is such a reoccurring meal for us haha we can't get enough! I might upload a recipe for it actually, it's super scrummy!

So on Saturday we took a road trip down to Whitstable to the seaside. We hadn't been to the seaside yet this summer... I know right... So we were super excited to chill by the coast. It turned out to be such a lovely day - was scorching hot, even by the sea. Literally no breeze. So I was suffering a little in my black skinny's and converse.

Once we'd had a little walk around, we settled down for lunch in a lovely cafe restaurant overlooking the sea. And after an excruciatingly long wait... Our food was served.

How good does that look?!

Scampi, Whitebait and Chicken Caesar Salad, just between the two of us. Haha we are such peeeegs. After eating pretty much everything... We rolled ourselves out of the restaurant and back to the car.

When we got home, we decided that we were going to (or should I say Carl forced me to) play some basketball. I'm only joking, I do rather enjoy it. So we headed to the court for some quick hoop shootin'. Can I point out that I did preeettty well considering Carl's 6 ft 3 and I'm 5 ft 4 or something. Once we had worked off all of the calories from earlier that day we headed home to chill. (Not without a quick stop at the Chinese takeaway of course).

SUNDAY!

I love Sunday's. They are sooooo relaxing. But the thought of Monday looming around the corner is always a little depressing. Anyway we decided that we were going to have a BBQ as the weather was looking to be around 24 degrees. It actually turned out to be hotter than expected so that was a bonus.

Of course, before anything, Carl went to the gym. And then we played some more basketball. During which I was maliciously chased by a the most persistent wasp there ever was. I think he thought I was a flower as I was wearing the brightest yellow top and a very sweet Victoria's Secret body spray. Haha. But Carl managed to save me so we continued playing.

After kicking Carl's ass at basketball, we headed back to start prep on the food for the BBQ. So. Much. Food.

We also had fun trying to figure out how to put up the swinging chair in the garden haha. It's more difficult than it sounds!
It turned out to be such a lovely evening with Carl's family, I loved it.

To finish off the most perfect weekend, Carl and I caught up on our favourite series, Suits. HOW GOOD IS SUITS???? If you haven't watched it... What are you doing?

And then after that, I headed home. And that is what I call my perfect weekend.

Can I just mention that I am so beyond lucky to have the boyfriend that I do. He's so thoughtful, loving and HANDSOME and he makes me so happy. I love every second that I spend with him. Love him with every piece of me.

Thank you so much for reading guys.

NEW Rimmel Kate Moss Nude Lipstick in shade 40 - Review

Hey beauties.

Today I'm bringing you a mini review on the new Rimmel Kate Moss nude lipstick in the colour 40.

I did intend on picking up all of the shades from the collection so I could do a collection review for you, but believe it or not there were only a couple left, and they looked pretty grubby. But if you would be interested in seeing a full review, please let me know!

So here is what shade 40 looks like...

To be honest, this is probably my favourite shade from the collection anyway. It's a pale, peach and slightly pink nude. I believe it's the palest lipstick in the collection, but even so, it's not SO pale that your lips disappear. However I would recommend putting a darker lip liner underneath or a gloss over the top. (That's if you're not into the super nude nudes). Although if you're not into the super nude nudes, then I wouldn't purchase this lipstick haha! There are darker nudes in the collection.

RAMBLE OVER.

Okay, so this product will cost you around £5.49 from Boots. I think that is an absolute steal!!! The formula of this lipstick is super creamy, but I would say that if you suffer from chapped lips (like me), give them a good exfoliating before applying this product as it did stick to some of my dry areas, and settled into some fine lines. But other than that, it's super nice.

I feel that the colour pay off is amazing, and you're really getting an overall great product for your money. I can't say much about the other shades in the collection, however I'm sure they would be much the same.

This lipstick has a really mild perfume to it, so it's not overpowering but it does have some scent, which I like. It kinda reminds me of 'new car smell' if ya know what I mean. Haha. So random.

I personally love wearing this shade over the top of the L'Oreal lip liner in Beige A Nu. I also love pressing it into the centre of the lips over other lipsticks to achieve a fuller look.

I've actually had some really bad experiences with Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks; others that I have tried have been sooooo drying and have had little lumps in them (it's hard to explain) does anyone know what I mean? I found it especially with the shade 113.

Anyway, this lipstick has restored my faith with the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks haha. So that's a good thing! Would I recommend this lipstick? Yes, absolutely.

I hope that you enjoyed this post - please leave me a comment if you did :)

Thanks for reading.
