My Travel Make Up!

Whenever I travel or just stay at my boyfriend's place... I just want to take all of my make up but it's just not possible. I did take my huge make up case to Mikey's once but it was sooo heavy and inconvenient.

So I went to Primark for the first time in April... yes, it really was the first time and I saw this really cute & huge polka dot cosmetic case and I knew I had to have it. It's not too big that it doesn't fit into my bags but I do carry huge bags...

 This is everything I carry... I don't usually carry Soap & Glory's Hand Food because I don't like it but I want to use it up!

This is all of my every day make up at the moment. My foundation will change from time to time and I'm finishing Bourjois' concealer and then going back to Collection 2000's as it so much better.

Road Trip I!

Michael and I take A LOT of road trips! We're driving somewhere new almost every week and I never thought to take my camera because we get so wrapped up in just spending time together. I figured... since I spend all of my spare time with him anyway... I'd start to take my camera!

This week we went to a place called Carlisle. It's in the north of England and it's about an hour away from where we live. We took his mum a long and it was pretty fun!

They have the most adorable shopping centre but I've promised to spend anything until I've used the products that I have already.

It did annoy me because I couldn't find Sleek make up anywhere and I don't have YSL make up or Urban Decay anywhere near me but BAM... there it all was in one little centre!

Michael promised to take me back at some point, lol. We'll see!

It was such a nice day too! The weather has been a little bipolar today but on this particular day... my gosh! It was sooo warm in the car!

The scenery is always so beautiful near where I live. Amazing. That's what I adore about living next to the Lakes.

Travelling...

I actually really miss Edinburgh. It was such a stunning city and I cannot wait to go back!

But we've decided to travel around the UK first.

We're going to Cornwall and London this year and then hopefully we'll be in Ireland early 2013.

Mikey's uncle invited us to go to Sri Lanka in 2014 but I'm not sure I want to go!

There are so many other place we'd planned... like Paris and Rome! We're dying to go to Pompei.

Japan and Thailand is a biggy for me as well and Mike wants to go to Australia but for now... we'll stick to the little adventure that is the UK.

I love where I'm from and I love that Europe is just next door!

Edinburgh was the first official trip we had as a couple (took a damn while!) and it definitely won't be the last.

Hopefully you'll see Cornwall 2012&& London 2012!

Don't get me wrong... I have been to a lot of these places already but it's not the same when you're with someone you love to bits!
