15 Favourite Instagram Photos

Instagram is my 2nd favourite social media platform behind Twitter. I tend to post photos daily with a wide range of subjects from beauty to football. Below are my top 15 posts and why I like them so much.

I particularly like this selfie because of how my whole look came together perfectly. It also makes me feel and look quite grown up which is VERY unusual for me!!

I travelled down to Bristol with a friend for the FA Cup 3rd round replay between Bristol City and West Bromwich Albion, which was a midweek game. Having gone all that way and being on the front row, I was lucky enough to get one of our players' shirts at full time. It is one of my most treasured items now.

A rare photo of myself and the greatest friends in the world, who have helped me through a very tough year.

Meeting my all-time favourite West Bromwich Albion player, Gareth McAuley!

I got this beautiful Charlotte Tilbury gift set for Christmas and, although I am yet to use it, I am in love with the colour and how precious they look and feel. 

Christmas in Costa Coffee with some of my favourite people. 

As a huge fan of Tanya Burr Cosmetics and Zoella Beauty, these are some of the best things I own. Both Zoe and Tanya released a gorgeous selection of products last Christmas and I just had to get my hands on them. My favourite is definitely the Candy Glam palette, which I have gotten so much use out of.

My best furry friend, Sadie!

A day out in Watford to watch my beloved Baggies with my best friend.

One of the most difficult tasks in life: getting a Pet Selfie!!

Meeting a legend in the modern era of West Bromwich Albion. Chris Brunt was one of the friendliest people I've ever met, and has achieved great things at our football club.

One of those 'I was there' moments. A special message on Astle Day, commemorating a special person in the history of our club. Such an emotional day.

Cuteness!!

Biggest surprise of my life! Having a signed framed shirt for my 21st birthday from one of our players.

My cake for my 21st birthday looked beautiful and tasted incredible.

Favourite MAC Cosmetics Products

I have always deterred from what has been considered as 'high end' makeup products, mainly due to expense. However, having watched plenty of beauty gurus on YouTube recently, who know what they are talking about, I thought I'd try one of the highly rated lipsticks from MAC Cosmetics.

Needless to say, after trying their frost lipstick 'Angel', I was hooked. Since purchasing 'Angel' I now own four lipsticks, a lipglass, four blushers, a foundation and two eyeshadows!!

Below are my four favourites.

Valentine's Day Look

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it is the perfect opportunity to experiment with makeup, hair and outfits, even if you don't have that special someone to dress up for. Pinks and reds are the usual theme, the latter being a colour I rarely ever go for on a day-to-day basis.

However, after trying out a look I would definitely use for the occasion, I soon fell in love with a berry lip (Tanya Burr Cosmetics in Berry Picking) and a matching dress (River Island). The floral headband (New Look) brings the look together and it is super pretty!

Pictured below is the makeup I used to create the makeup look above.
