Zoella Beauty Wishlist



Now I could quite easily just say I want it all but that would be punching a bit above my budget! So I've picked my three favourite things from Zoe's range that I can't wait to buy when one of them comes back into stock!

DISCLAIMER: ALL IMAGES ARE FROM ZOE's BLOG


First up, my favourite item, is the Guinea Pig Make Up Bag, this is so Zoe it's crazy haha! I can't wait to have one, it is so adorable.


Next is the Candle, considering how much Zoe herself goes on about candles I am holding high hopes for the fragrance of this, I can't wait to smell it, I bet it will be amazing.


I'm a sucker for perfumes, I love trying new ones or just sniffing them all in the stores, it fascinated me. And as a result I just have to try Zoe's.

I hope you enjoyed this post and it helps you narrow down which items you would want to buy if you're on a budget like me, hehe! And also I just want to congratulate Zoe on not only this beautiful range but also on 6 million subscribers!!

You can buy all of these items and more here.

The Body Shop // Review


I recently bought these two items from The Body Shop. They have an offer going where you can ourchase both these items for £20 instead of paying £26 if you buy them seperatley, which I think is an awesome deal so get down there whilst you can!

I love the Insta Blur it really is instant like they claim! It's the perfect product if you suffer with pores however it doesnt 'blur' out spots and blemishes like some people may percieve! I suffer with pores on my nose and they literally disappear before my eyes when i use this product, I am totally blown away!

I also too love the BB cream but it took me much longer to love! If you buy this product and you're one of those people (much like myself) that puts foundation onto your hands first before dotting it onto your face and using a brush to blend I strongly recommend you don't with this product and that's because your hands are a different colour to your face. This has an effect because this product is colour adapting it adapts to your hand colour and not your face colour and for me in this instance it made my face look pretty off colour or orange as you might call it! After i figured out the solution to this problem I totally loved this it's light coverage so if you like high coverage to hide everything this product is not for you. But I do love a light coverage and this covers little blemishes I have and makes my face feel natural and also air brushed (with a bit of cheeky concealer added!)

I hope this post has been helpful to any of you looking to purchase these items! Also sorry that the layout is not as usual I am posting off my phone and I will be editing it when I can but I thought posting should be most important no matter how it looks!

Love Mads xx

Recent Tumblr Inspo // Fashion Edition


I thought I would share with you some recent pictures that I have been reblogging on my tumblr and that have been really inspiring me. These pictures are only fashion based but I reblog other things on my tumblr and will also create different editions on my blog so you can see what I'm loving in different categories. I love being inspired.


I love the ripped knee jeans that have come into fashion, topshop do some amazing ones
that I have my eye on and also asos do too. On another note those shoes are beautiful.
I still have no idea why I don't own a skort, they look a-maze-ing
I love tortoise shell sunglasses, I need some in my life but also this picture just inspires me as a whole
I love Calvin Kleins' new underwear range for women, I know it's been circulating for a while
but this came up on my feed and just made me want some even more
I love the oversized coat trend, this pattern is to die for, shame I don't know where it is from.
 I do already have one oversized coat and I'm always on the look out for more

Leave your tumblr link in the comments so I can follow you all!

Hope you enjoyed this post and that the week is treating you well
love mads

Dainty Day Dream Jewellery



Yesterday I received the beautiful pieces I had ordered from Dainty Day Dream Jewellery. I adore these items. The shop is cheap but still good quality.

Firstly I ordered a half moon choker that is just still so girly and sits so nicely round my neck.



This piece can be found under 'Mystical Moon Jewellery'. I purchased the choker for £3.50.



 Next I purchased the 'Rose Quartz Crystal Chip Necklace'. This was £4.00

excuse what I'm doing with my face


I do love this piece however it did break once I put it for this post however it didn't break irreversibly, the chain where you attach it came loose and just needed to be squeezed tight again, this may just be due to me being rough with it, I'm not used to delicate jewellery and I have very big, clumsy hands, haha! But this is definitely such a stunning piece.

Last but not least I got a Hamsa Hand Bracelet which is so lovely.


My mum wore this as it was easier for me to get a good photo (thanks mum). This piece can be found in the 'Cute Hamsa Hand Jewellery' section and this was £3.00.

Thanks to the lovely girl that runs the company I have a unique code that can give you 10% off your first purchase, which is an amazing offer! In my opinion you should go grab some items as they are so worth it, the delivery and payment is fast and efficient and it is all boxed so nicely. These items are such good quality for very low prices so don't miss out!

My unique code for you to use is:


That's 'madeleine1' so go go go and spoil yourselves!
Photo credit of me all to my mum too, thanks again mum

Thank you for reading and thank you to Dainty Day Dream.

The British Tag




I thought that whilst this tag is still going around I would give it a go as i am fittingly British. 

Lets do this!

1. How many cups of tea do you have a day - how many sugars? 
I don't actually drink tea, which is very un-british of me. (I know that's not a word)

2. Favourite part of a Sunday Roast?
YORKSHIRE PUDDING. They are soooo good and I love them when certain places make them like the size of your plate, mmmmm. I also really love stuffing.
Here's my most recent Roast cooked by my Dad.



3. Favourite Dunking Biscuits?
Rich Tea biscuits. I love dunking them in hot chocolate. 

4. Favourite British Pastime? 
This for me would definitely have to be going on a bike ride, I love the fresh air and it allows you to see so much 

5. Favourite word? 
Kerfuffle, need I say more? 

6. Cockney Rhyming Slang?
I love the good old apple and pears for stairs but also I know Barney Rubble means Trouble and well my dog is called Barney and so we find it quite fitting..

7. Favourite Sweet?
I love fruit pastilles but my favourites are Rhubarb and Custard and Strawberries and Cream sweets, y u m. I also love wonka nerds but they're more American haha!

8. What would your pub be called? 
Wow this is a hard one, I actually have no idea. Okay, errrm.... The Lancaster after my last name because I love the history behind my name such as the Lancaster Planes. How original of me.

9. Favourite British person?
Can I have people?cause if I can probably Ant and Dec!

10. Favourite shop or restaurant?
My favourite restaurants are all pretty local and I can't actually remember the name of some of them just where they are haha! But my favourite restaurant chain would be Frankie and Bennies. My favourite shops on the high street are topshop, new look, river island, superdrug, boots, primark and the list goes on haha, you get the point.

11. Which British pop songs pop into your head?
Wannabe by the Spice Girls, they are my childhood. Also maybe Love Machine by Girls Aloud, they too made a pretty big impact on me as a child and I actually went to see them in concert, the only concert I've ever been to....so far.

12. Marmite? 
Gosh no

I hope you enjoyed this post, I did!

August Confessions




Posting on a Tuesday feels rather strange. Sorry that I missed Sunday but you will find out why. I wanted to create this post as it will allow me to be honest with my followers and also let you see into my life a bit more.

My confessions from August are 

  1. I'm struggling for inspiration on what to post recently
  2. I really want my blog to be more fashion based but I don't feel any of my current wardrobe would be suitable as it is all very old because I don't get to shop as often as I like and therefore I am saving up to create my style as I want it to be
  3. I have just got a job and I start this Saturday which I'm so excited about because it means I can spoil myself a little
  4. It really annoys me that I start my posts with 'So...' hahaha
  5. I've been being messed around by the college I applied for and I am now having to change college which isn't good this late on and I have to now go through the whole interview process again
  6. I am so happy that there is now 39 of you following me, that is such an accomplishment for me 
  7. I'm so excited for the future of my blog
  8. I am obsessed with Tumblr at the moment, you can follow me here
  9. I've been reminiscing over a lot of old photo's recently, if you'd like to see a sort of 'throwback' post, let me know! I feel that might be quite fun to do!

I hope this explains a few things to you lovely lot and it makes me so happy that you all stick around even when I struggle to post for you but I promise it will get better and more regular.


It would really really help me out if you could tell me what kind of posts you would all enjoy seeing more?and would you like it if i became more fashion based?
Love to you all and I wish you the best for september
