Bloggers Do Collections Better!

So I thought about what would be my biggest collection that I have and without a shadow of a doubt, it's my nail polish collection. I used to be massively into nail art and bought a couple of nail polishes a week. I'm less into it now because of time but I'm still pretty proud of my nail varnish collection. But instead of going through all of my nail varnishes I just chose the biggest brand that I have which is Barry M. I fall in love with Barry M colours and the consistency and drying time is amazing for the price that they are. So I've split them up a bit and I'll go through them now. 

Firstly are the special polishes that I have. Going from left to right, the first one is the crackle nail effect that I bought ages ago. I don't use this as much now but I still think it's a really interesting effect for your nails. 

Next is the Amethyst Glitter varnish. It has different flecks of lots of different coloured glitters and over a coloured nail varnish, this looks amazing. 

Next is the Silvery Lilac. This colour is iridescent so it looks completely different in different lights. There's also tiny pieces of glitter in there too which makes it glitter even more. 

Next is one of my favourites which is the Teal one. This is really shiny and I absolutely love the turquoise colour of it. It looks amazing with a tan. 

Next is the Limited Edition colour 340. This is a gold colour that has long rectangular pieces of gold glitter in which makes it a really interesting nail polish. I haven't tried this yet because I got it recently bit I can't wait to. 

Next is the Yellow Topaz Glitter and it's simply just chunks of gold glitter. It looks amazing over black nail varnish for that added sparkle and you can put as much or as less as you want on. 

Next is the Black Multi-Glitter nail polish which is simple a black polish with flecks on glitter in it. It's so simple but really effective with any outfit. 

And lastly is the Nail Effects in silver which is just a metallic silver that looks amazing on nails and I can't wait to use it when I have a tan. 

Next is just some random colours. The first is Cyan Blue and it's a really nice bright blue. The next is just a simple clear coat but it's easily one of the best ones I've ever bought. This is my go-to nail polish because it dries so quickly. Next is just a simple black and again it's go-to black because of the colour quality and how quickly it dries. 

Next is Block Orange which is just a really bright orange that looks amazing on holiday. And next is a bright pink called Pink Flamingo which is the same as the orange and looks amazing on holiday. And lastly is just a simple white but it's a must have this summer because of the price and quality of product. 

But this set is definitely my favourite. The first one is pastel yellow called Lemon. I'm really into pastels at the moment and this is the perfect pale yellow. Next is the Gelly Hi-Shine in Dragon which is just a really pale pink. And next is the Gelly Hi-Shine in Papaya which is my newest and most favourite colour at the moment. It's a kind of pale peach colour that I'm obsessed with in the sun. And next is my other favourite and it's the Gelly Hi-Shine in Greenberry. It looks amazing with a tan and I'm loving the mint green colour this summer. And the next is Coral which is a really bright colour. And lastly is the colour Berry which is a pastel purple. As you can see I'm into pastels a lot this summer!

So that's my collection post for this weeks #bloggersdoitbetter and I hope you enjoyed it!

My Mad Anxiety Diary

I wanted to make this series because I want my blog to be somewhere I can write about what happens in my life. Even the bad bits that I don't tell anyone else. 

If you didn't know already I do suffer from anxiety but I don't think a lot of people know that about me. My family and closest friends do but I don't go around telling people, I usually try my best to hide it as I don't want people to think I'm being stupid or attention seeking so I deal with it myself. And this isn't me 'bragging' about my anxiety to get attention, I just want this blog to be a place that I can show how I'm feeling about my anxiety and hopefully help other people that suffer through it too. I have had CBT to help my anxiety and I want to show people how I deal with it, hopefully to help them deal with theirs. 

Anxiety isn't a nice thing to have but I've learnt that you can't let it stop you from doing things in your life and you can do anything if you can learn to deal with it properly. 

I won't go into my anxiety properly in this post but I usually feel anxious about being sick, mostly in public. It's a strange anxiety but I still feel panicky about it a lot of the time. 

Anyways I wanted to start this diary today because tomorrow I go on my first holiday abroad without my parents. I know you're probably thinking for someone who doesn't drink and gets anxious in nightclubs, why is she going to Zante? But I just didn't want to miss out on anything because of my anxiety so I booked a ticket. 

I wanted my blog to be somewhere I can post my worries whilst I'm away and how I deal with them because I think it's better to be able to write about it and get it off my chest. 

So here is the first post of My Mad Anxiety Diary and hopefully I'll be able to write how each day goes. In the future I also want to be able to show people how I've been taught to deal with my anxiety so that I can help others who are in my situation and suffer from anxiety. 

I just know that you can't let it control your life. You only get one of them and everyday is important to live so if you feel like it does control your life, go and get some help because it's helped me a lot this year. 

So thanks for reading and if you do know anyone that suffers from anxiety be sure to let them know about this new series I'm doing and it might help them. Or if you do suffer from anxiety yourselves give them a read too. 

Stay happy!

June Glossybox! Spoilers!

So I got my June Glossybox this morning and I'm actually pretty happy with all of the products! I will definitely be able to use all of them and they seem quite interesting. There's also quite a few more expensive products and 3 full size products too.

So the first thing is this eye shadow brush. It's the Teeez Trend Cosmetics Beautiful Flat Stiff Brush and it's obviously a full size products and it says 19 euros so I don't know why it says euros and not pounds. But it seems really good quality and the packaging is actually really pretty too so I can't wait to try it out!

Next is this Concealer Quad from So Susan Cosmetics that is a full size product originally for £20. This looks really interesting as I've never used this kind of concealer before, mine have all been liquid. I'm not sure what all the different sections do so I'll have to look them up but I can't wait to try it.

Next is the Nailgirls 3-in-1 base/topcoat & nail strengthener. This looks good because it's a base, topcoat and strengthener all in one which is effective as my nails are always breaking. The full product would be £13.50 and I can't wait to try it out tonight.

Next is the full size Got2b Rise 'n Shine Souffle that gives textured volume and silky hair without weighing it down. This a full size product and I can't wait to try this out because the top of my hair is also flat because I have thick and heavy hair so I hope it adds that extra volume without looking greasy. I also love Got2b's hair products. Originally £4.07.

And lastly is this three product package. They are by Roger and Gallet and it's the Fleur de Figuier discovery ritual shower cream, body lotion and fragrance. I've already tried out the fragrance and I love it so much already. It's such a summer scent and I hope the other products smell like that too. The fragrance is originally £32, body lotion is £13 and the shower cream is £9.50 and you can buy them at Marks and Spencer's. I can't wait to try the others out.

So overall I'm really happy with what I got in my GB this month and I will definitely be using some of it during June!

Thanks for reading,

One Direction Concert Vlog

I have officially finished college!!! FINALLY!!

My last exam was last Wednesday and since then I have literally been doing NOTHING! It feels amazing!

So I've had lots of time to edit and I posted a new video a yesterday about my One Direction concert I went to on 1st June. 

I filmed a few bits and pieces and then put it all together.

Please excuse my singing, the rubbish quality and the shaking haha I was just enjoying myself I guess.

As for the concert I think it went really well. I'm usually anxious about concerts because of the heat and all the people but this one went smoothly because for one it was outside so there was a nice breeze and even though there were lots of people I didn't feel claustrophobic which was good and this made me have an even better experience. 

I was so excited as well about watching 5 Seconds Of Summer which was the support act. I'd been following the band on YouTube since they first started doing covers and then I saw them at the Take Me Home concert last year so I was super excited to see them again this year. For anyone that doesn't know them please go and check them out! They're amazing!

And the 1D boys were really good too, always thanking the crowd and you could see that they really were amazed that they were at the stadium performing. Unfortunately Harry wasn't well that night but he still made the effort to sing most of his solos really well, and even spoke to the crowd. Niall had to sing his You And I solo but he absolutely smashed it! There's clips of it in the vlog.

Overall it was a really good experience and I can't wait for more from both bands!

If you want to check out the vlog, you can see it here>> One Direction Concert Vlog

Bloggers Do Sunshine Better!

I'm so late with this post because I had two exams this Monday and Tuesday so I was cramming in as much revision as possible! I decided to do something different with this weeks post and link it in with my YouTube Channel JustSarahsVlogs.

So this this week I've done a video about how you can make this really easy summer t-shirt from an old one lying around (I know you all have one!)

So if you want to check the video out, here it is!

Summer Wish List!

Today I've made this wish list of 11 things that I really want this summer. I go away on holiday with my girls soon and then I have a festival too so most of this is holiday/festival gear that I'm really excited about!

So here we go:

1. This first item I can't actually find anywhere that sell them at the minute. Forever 21 used to but they're all sold out. They are simply just lace halternecks that you wear under vests and t-shirts so you can just see the lace coming out under the top. I think these are super cute and I can't wait until more shops stock them. If you do know anywhere that sells them, let me know!

2. The next thing is the MAC Lipstick in Heroine. It's such a lovely deep purple and I've read loads of really good reviews about it and I love the colour. I think it would look really good on a night out. And this is £15.

3. The next thing I came across in Claire's because they have such a wide range of festival accessories at the moment. So this the Brown Dreamcatcher and Feather Arm Bracelet and it's £5.50. I think this goes on the top of your arm so the feathers dangle down. This just screams festival fashion and I love unusual jewellery with a passion so this is perfect.

4. I couldn't really find a real site for this item, but I found most of them are being sold on eBay. These are Leg Chains and there's an elastic that goes around your thigh, under whatever you're wearing and the chains fall down your thigh from there. I think these look so cute and I can totally see this being big this summer, like body chains.

5. The next items are 3 Barry M Gelly Nail Polishes from Boots. This is the pastel set including the colours Rose Hip, Huckleberry and Sugar Apple. I love Barry M nail polishes and these are the perfect colours for summer when you have a tan. These are also a steal at £3.99 each.

6. This is the Daisy Garland Headwrap and I'm not going to be able to get enough of flower crowns this summer. I think they're a staple festival piece, the bigger the better. But this daisy one from Claire's is quite subtle and I think it'll look really cute with coloured hair like mine. It is also only £10.

7. This is the Silver Head Chain from Urban Outfitters. Just like the leg chain I think these will become a lot more popular in summer and they're perfect for my middle parting now. I think they give the whole outfit a boho look which is perfect for festivals. This is only £12 too.

8. I really need to invest in a good shaver. I usually use disposable ones because they're cheaper but they're just not doing a good enough job anymore. So I found this one from Superdrug and it's the Gillette Venus Embrace Razor. It's £7.49 with multiple blades that last for ages. So I want this to keep my legs stubble free during the hotter months.

9. This playsuit is the Sienna Lace Plunge Back Chiffon Playsuit from Boohoo. I think the colour is perfect for summer and the lacy low back makes it more formal. But I also think this will look good on holiday. And it's only £20.

10. These shoes are my all time favourites right now. They're the Abbie Multi-Buckle & Strap Chunky Flats in white from Boohoo. I love these chunky shoes so much and I can't wait until I own a pair! They're only £25 too.

11. And finally these cute sunglasses are the Preppy Mirror Sunglasses in black from Urban Outfitters. Rounded sunglasses have definitely grown on me this summer as I wasn't too keen on them before. But I fell in love with these sunnies as soon as I saw them. And they are only £16.

So this is a wishlist of some of the things I think will look great this summer and I can't wait to purchase some of them.

Spring and Summer Trends!

This is Week 4 of the #bloggersdoitbetter Challenge and the topic is Trends. So I decided to make a wishlist/how to wear about 3 of this Spring and Summer's hottest trends.

The first trend is Metallic/Holographic

I think a hint of metallic in an outfit makes a lot of different but I also think it's important not to over do it by wearing bold colours or lots of metallic together.

1. These are the Abbie Multi-Buckle and Strap Chunky Flats from Boohoo. I am absolutely in love with these kinds of chunky flats or heels. I think they look perfect with boyfriend jeans or a dress and this holographic design makes them the perfect staple piece in an outfit. These are a steal at £25.

2. This clutch is the Ciara Metallic Envelope Clutch Bag also from Boohoo. I think wearing this with a LBD and a pair of plain shoes would look perfect. It also has a wrist strap so you don't drop it on a night out! This is sold at just £12.

3. This necklace is the Geo Cut Out Triangle Collar from Miss Selfridge. I think this has a futuristic feel to it and fits in perfectly with this trend. It's definitely a statement piece that can bring a whole outfit together. This was only £10.

4. This skirt is the Ekata Hologram A-Line Skirt from Miss Guided. I love this cute little skirt and I think it matches really well to the block black top. It's definitely something to make heads turn and would look great under the lights on a night out! This is being sold at £24.99.

5. This dress is the Oyster Link Metallic Oversized Dress by Rare at Topshop. I think this also fits in with the pastel trend because it's a really cute pale pink colour. This is a really girly dress and I think it'll look great with a pair of strappy heels for spring/summer. This is £36.

6. And lastly these shoes are the Melisa Holographic Platform Heels from Miss Guided. I think these are the most subtle holographic from this trend and if you're a little unsure about this trend then I think these would be perfect to try them out and see if you like how they look. I think these could look good with anything because they're a really simple cut and colour. These are only £32.99.

The next trend is Pretty Pastels

I absolutely adore this trend with the ice cream colours and simple cuts.

1. This is the Luiza Pastel Dogtooth Metal Belt Playsuit from Boohoo. I've fallen in love with the dogtooth print and this pretty pastel purple colour is stunning. Perfect for the Spring and Summer sun. I also love the scallopped detail on the shorts and the belt that accentuates your waist. This is only £25.

2. This watch is the Casio Ladies Wristwatch from American Apparel. I love the pale mint colour of the strap and the simpleness of the clock face. I think it'll look really good with summer with a tan. This is a more expensive piece of £55.

3. These are the Juju Maxi Low Pale Pink Jelly Shoes from Office. I love Jelly Shoes so much and I think these will be so cute in summer to wear with a swing dress or cute cami top. You can also get them in other pastel colours too! These are only £20.

4. This bag is the Mint Green Raised Flower Clutch from New Look. I think this bag is really pretty and I really like the daisy detail on it. Looks very Spring and looks like you can fit quite a lot in. This bag is only £12.99.

5. This jumper is the Flafica Eyelash Knit Long Sleeve Cropped Jumper from Miss Guided. If it's still quite chilly wherever you're from. like it is in England, then I think this jumper is perfect for that kind of weather. It's cropped so you could wear it with high waisted jeans or tuck it into a cute skater skirt. This is being sold at £19.99.

6. These polishes are the Model's Own Fruit Pastel Nail Polishes. These are so cute and I've always loved the Model's Own bottles but these are even better because they're scented. Each bottle has a different scent that corresponds to the colour/name of each varnish. These are super cute and the perfect pastel colours. And they are only £4 each from Boots.

And the last trend is Bright Holiday

I love all the bright clothes that are on trend right now and can't wait to wear some of these brights in summer.

1. This is the Blake Floral Strappy Skater Dress from Boohoo. I think the print on this is stunning and really summery. The cut at the neckline is also really different and interesting but shows off your shoulders really well. This is being sold at £25.

2. These are the Fluro Yellow Retro Sunglasses from River Island. I love these neon yellow sunglasses because with a tan I think these will look amazing. These are also only £10!

3. This is the Vantia Tropical Print Chiffon Kimono from Miss Guided. I've wanted a kimono for so long because I think it makes a good light jacket for spring and summer without being too bulky but it's still something to wear over a top. I love the print on this and the tassels that fall down the bottom. This is £24.99.

4. This is the Harmony Multi- Coloured Neon Visor Necklace from Prettylittlething.com. I love the mix of colours in this necklace and I think it would definitely be a staple piece to an outfit and it'll look amazing in the sun. This is only £10.

5. This is the Lily Ribbon Detail Skater Dress from Boohoo. I absolutely adore this bright yellow colour at the minute and I think it'll be really big in summer. This dress is so pretty and demure so it would be perfect for a garden or family party. This is also only £25.

6. Lastly this is the Charade Neon Orange Patent Envelope Clutch Bag from Miss Guided. I think this would look good with a black or white dress and even orange shoes to add another extra pop of colour. I think this really stands out as it's neon. And you can buy it for £19.99.

So these are some of my favourite SS14 trends and I can't wait to see more of them develop through the year!
