Ramside Spa | Mii Makeup Event

If you are North East based and have not yet heard about the Ramside spa opening I suggest you take a glance at this post or go take a trip yourself. The already highly rated golf club and hotel has finally opened its spa doors! As part of this I attended a Mii makeup event held there to entice us all into the spa and allow us to explore their make up brand of choice, Mii. I would say this brand is at a similar market level to Mac, with resembling products and prices. They have a fab range of products to cater for those who like a full face of flawless makeup to a more natural, organic powder foundation look. Some of my personal favourite products are the lip liner and lipstick combo in 'Caress' and 'Sleek', along with thee eye crayon in indigo that creamy texture blends well as an eyeshadow but crayon like applicator means it can act as an under eyeliner also. The indigo quad sky palette which was super soft to the touch and in some of my personal favourite shades for the eyes, browns and mauve. A product I was also pleasantly surprised by was the show stopping lash lover mascara in black*, which doesn't necessarily look like anything spectacular but gives great length and volume in a minimal amount of strokes, for a justifiable £14.50, this is a mascara I would recommend to anyone.
Now, I know many girls will probably gasp in disgrace at what I am about to say, however I have never stepped into a brow salon never mind attempt to put a brow pencil near my face. Thanks to Ramside and Mii, that all changed as I lost my brow bar virginity and was treated to a brow shaping and colouring by one of their lovely brow specialist. Although I have nothing to compare it to, I had a very pleasant first brow experience, the specialists were very conscious of what you wanted and made the effort to make you feel happy and comfortable.

In terms of spa treatments it is at the higher end of the budget however this is reflected in the spa itself, luxury feeling rooms that I felt instantly relaxed in, to point of almost dosing off, friendly staff and quality products used. I cant wait to treat myself to a massage once my bank account is looking a bit more healthy (cry at still being a student)!

Not some of my best snaps as I was too busy drinking champers and easting canapes (oops) however this will hopefully give you good idea of the event.

Last days of summer OOTD

Clinging onto the last days of summer I had to find the time to wear this cutesy crop and short two piece before it was too late, and before I became too pale to bear! This little number was from a brand I newly discovered Luxemme who offer a small but trendy range of clothing, perfect for when you don't have time to trawl through pages of online shopping. This particular set was from the limited edition range ,  a set I love for its tie details on the side of the top, a feature that seems to be very in style at the moment. As I wasn't brave enough to wear it alone for a day look, I paired it with a trench and some low block heel sandals. Although I reckon it would look great alone on a night out simply teamed with a pair of pointed nude heels and clutch.

 Hope you like it!

This two piece is priced at a very reasonable £35.00*
