Zoeva Rose Golden Brush Set

You can imagine the pure joy I felt when receiving this beautiful set, then imagine the joy when I actually used them. Everything about this set screams luxury, from the sleek black handle to the touch of rose gold.

 Zoeva Rose Golden Brush Set £56.95

Aside from the look of the set, the quality is one to rave about too. This set includes a mix of natural and synthetic bristles shaped to perfection. First, lets talk about the 'Luxe Sheer Cheek Brush' aka the ultimate contouring tool. This brush fits perfectly in the hollows of my cheeks and picks up the perfect amount of product onto the brush (avoiding the dreaded mud face look). Another favourite of mine includes the 'Silk Finish Brush', also perfectly made for applying product in the best way. The 'Silk Finish Brush' creates a flawless finish to any foundation type, my personal favourite is to use this with the Nars Sheer Glow foundation. Last but not least, the 'Petite Crease Brush' has also made it into my favourites of this set. Granted this may be due to failed attempts in finding a really good crease brush, but also because the shape of the brush fits perfectly in my crease and packs on a great amount of product. 

All in all, I think you can tell that I am definitely a fan of Zoeva brushes and may be already eyeing up the Rose Golden Complete Set, Vol 1... 

Bedroom Decor and Storage Ideas

I love moving, moving means I can redecorate and have a clear out. This is not to say that I still don't have a lot of useless things in my room, just less of it. Baby steps, right?

Having just gone into my second year at university this means a proper house, I now have much more space compared to the first year halls and everything looks a bit more homey. I thought I would share some of my ideas for storage and how I decorated.

 I wanted to have simple bedding but with a pop of colour, so I opted for complete white bedding and added some colour and pattern with the pillows and blanket. I recommend Debenhams for cushions and throws they have an excellent selection with good prices. My favourite cushions and throws are from Anthropologie, a bit more pricey but if you're prepared to splurge then this is where to do it!

If you're at university then you're going to want lots of pictures of friends and family from back home, as well as new pictures from university. Photo walls are my favourite way to show them, and one of the cheapest. All you need is a printer, print paper and blue/white tac. I went on Pinterest for some inspiration which you can see here. The great thing about these is you can add to the photo wall throughout the year. A tip to make sure the photos are straight, use the 'Levels' app on your iPhone for the first photo then you can use that as a guide for the rest.

   Mason jars are great for storage, they are super cheap. I got a set of three from Homebase for £9.99. I use these to store makeup brushes and pens, but you can also put candles, cotton buds, etc.

I also use these little white pots from Ikea to hold cotton pads and buds just to make everything look at bit nicer. The white ties in with my bedding and I love the cut outs on the pot. 

    I love these mini bowls to hold rings and earrings and it's easy to keep track of them. The days of only finding one earring in a pair are gone! You can find these anywhere, I have found some nice ones in Anthropologie but I got these from some independent shops in St Ives. 

I was trying to find somewhere to store my winter scarfs that didn't take up lots of clothes space. I was lucky and found these white crates on sale in Sainsbury's. I use these to store all my mess and random bits and it makes everything look a bit more organised. 

I hope you find these ideas useful and would love to hear your storage and decoration ideas!
