A day at Longleat

birthday
Since Jade and I have finished our A levels- and it had been my 18th birthday the previous week- we decided to have a celebratory day out at Longleat. We had such a lovely day with the drive through safari in the morning, a tasty picnic and then explored the house and its grounds in the afternoon. For me, a huge animal lover, Longleat is the perfect day out- and of course we took full advantage of Jades bad boy camera lens!

Here are some pictures that we took throughout the day.
We dared to drive through the monkey enclosure where the monkeys are free to go wherever they want... luckily Jades car came out undamaged.
What I loved about Longleat is that they provide the rare chance to see an elephant - which isn't common in most zoos/safari parks in England - Anne, Longleat's elephant, was rescued from a circus.
I would definitely recommend Longleat as a day out for everyone.

What would your ideal day out be?

botanics
I’ve recently started to use fake tan and have been loving it. 
The St Tropez Bronzing Mousse formula is streak free, easy to apply and long lasting.

Before I fake tan I always exfoliate and the Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Breakfast Scrub gets the job done, 
smells really good and leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated as it contains Shea butter.

The Boots Botanics Mattifying Gel Cream is the perfect daily moisturiser for anyone with oily skin. It’s budget friendly, 
hydrating and due to the gel formula it leaves skin matte enough that theres no need for a primer.

For targeted spot treatment I’ve recently been using the Body Shop’s Tea Tree Oil. I put a small amount onto a 
cotton pad and dab onto any active acne. It’s effective, natural and cruelty free, what’s not to like?

I’ve been going back to old favourites recently and the shades ‘Naked’ & ‘Sidecar’ from the original Urban Decay Naked Palette
are my current favourite eyeshadows. I use naked in the crease and sidecar all over the lid - to avoid the chunks of glitter
 from sidecar going everywhere I suggest putting your crease colour on before your lid colour.

What are your current favourites?
