Hello my lovely blog followers,

I am SO sorry for my super long absence, I have just been so busy with work and life that I almost forgot about my blogging! (oops!)
I didn't quite forget about how much I love to write, therefore Amber is most definitely back in business!

I have so much to fill you in with, but I have recently just returned from the most wonderful 'vacation' can you guess where I have been?

FLORIDA for an entire month, and it was bloomin' beautiful! I honestly had the most wonderful trip to see my family but also my boyfriend who studies there, well did as he just graduated and is coming back to England for good next week! (I AM SO EXCITED CAN YOU TELL?!?!?!?)

Anyway, I am going to try and post on this more regularly now with life updates letting you all know what I have been up to as I have been awful at it recently and I am truly sorry for that.

Today includes my beauty haul! Woo!
So while I was in America, I treated myself to a few goodies and I thought I would share them all with you! Most of them being beauty goodies, so lets hope you like beauty stuff!

I am sorry for the lack of insta-worthy quality of the images, my phone isn't the total best, and the lighting wasn't either to be honest, but you can still see the products.

1. NYX Beyond Basic
I have tried to be more experimental with the brands of make up I have been buying and I saw this beauty in TJ Maxx at the Palm Beach Outlets. I believe it was $8.99! I loved the colours of the eye shadow, and I have since used it to find out the pigmentation is also amazing for a high street brand. The little set included the eye shadow palette along side a matt lip gloss and eye liner. (The NYX liquid eyeliner is one I always use and that alone usually costs me £7.99 in the UK) Very happy indeed with this purchase! Hopefully in the future I will show you some looks I have created with it.

 2. Rose Gold Blemish Tool
I'm sure there is some of you out there that is totally obsessed with Dr Pimple Popper on Instagram?!!? Well if you're not I totally am, and Im also weirdly obsessed with popping pimples and blackheads as it is so satisfying! I have always wanted one of these so treated myself to one for $3.99 also from TJ Maxx! What a bargain?

 I have wanted to try this for the longest time, and thought while I had the money and Macys had 15% off all of MAC products, I would treat myself to it! I absolutely love MAC products, but during the summer months in particular, it just sweats off me, so I bought this to try it out and see if it really does aid to fix make up on the face. (We shall see, but the smell is incredible - I chose the Rose scent and it cost me around $22.00)

 4. MAC Studio Sculpt NC25 
This is my GO TO foundation! Through thick and thin, this bad boy has been there for me, and I would struggle to move to another foundation. I was running out, so purchased some more at duty free in the airport, it cost me about £23.00.






 9. Island Passion Body Cream
So I has my eyes peeled on this for quite sometime now, last time I visited Blueline Surf and Paddle in Jupiter, I adored the smell of it, but did I need it? Not really. This time I thought what the heck? And bought it anyway! The smell is divine! Like rubbing a pornstar martini over your body and shimmering in the sunlight! Worth $5.99? I think so.


10. Hoola Boddess Cream by Benefit
YES YES YES YES YES to this! If only I knew how great it was going to be, I would have bought more! My aunt from Orlando bought this for me as a gift, and well praise the goddess' of body cream heaven. It is amazing! Limited edition to Ulta Beauty only but was in the sale for $10.00!!!


11. Tartan + Twine Brow Perfection Set
Well first of all isn't this just the prettiest brow set you have ever seen?! I am a little obsessed with yellow right now and well I just loved the look of this set. $6.99 from Ross's in Winter Park Orlando. It was a must have buy! I bet their other collections are amazing too..


I hope you enjoyed my beauty haul! To be honest, I have just remembered I had bought more than this but was too impatient and used it in America so totally forgot it was new. Any questions about the products? Just drop me a message!

Over and Out!

Topshop has got to me one of my favourite high street stores, and their sales are just incredible! Definitely in need of some good bargains..so today I made a visit to topshop Brighton and I bought some goodies! Thought I'd share them with you .. Visit www.topshop.co.uk to get yours too!!

So missguided recently had their 50% off day which sent the website crazy but being such a dedicated shopper, I kept going until I got through and I did eventually, and bought 2 new garments for the spring summer and I think I'm in love! New rust tie up blouse is definitely the favourite thing I've bought in a while! So gorgeous and would look fab with a tan, I also bought some new grey high waist jeans which I got for £15 instead of £30!!!! I didn't know how they were going to fit but they literally fit perfectly! I'm a size 8 in general in clothes so ordered hoping for the bead and it genuinely fit amazingly and was so so comfortable, would definitely recommend, and so on trend! Can't speak well enough of them! Please all follow my Instagram for fashion updates at @amberwhitakerx and visit www.missguided.co.uk to get yours now!

So I spontaneously decided to have a bit of a creative change to my blog, and you know what? I LOVE IT. New header= new me?
Maybe but I really do love it! If you fancy getting something fancy done just like mine, go and follow @AlohaLolaCards on twitter, lovely lady, fast response and great prices!

So for our third project at uni, we had to design our own zines: yes not magazines but zines, which is a specialised zine on a specific topic or interest of ours. My zine was on the topic of Robert Frost, a very inspiration and famous poet. I wanted the zine and GIFS to be as conceptual as possible, adding a bit of a modern twist to his incredible poems, expressing what I thought of them.
