Mini Update + Dream Outfit #2 ♥

Hey everyone, 

Just a quick little update before I get into the main content of this post... So the other week I got really ill and couldn't face doing a lot which is why I missed on out doing some blog posts these past few weeks becuase I've been getting better and also I had half term which meant I was really busy. Anyway... the positive is that i'm feeling a lot better now and can't wait to show you what I brought during half term :D

So I did a 'Dream outfit' post ages back and totally forgot about it so I thought I'd do another one as i've really been getting into fashion and styling lately.

Skorts and Mesh - Link to the outfit on polyvore

Topshop top
£18.00 - topshop.com


 ♥ The simple striped crop top can be paired with many different skirts and jeans to give a more casual look something dressy like a short skirt. I've owned many striped tops and they are really easy to pair with other items of clothing to look casual but still as if you are making an effort.

Red jacket
£24.99 - newlook.com


 ♥ This jacket/blazer adds a pop of colour to the outfit and also keeps you warm. 

Forever New black skirt
$54 - forevernew.com.au


 ♥ I'd seen these a lot during last summer and really wanted one but with only being 15 and as pale as a milk bottle I didn't get one hehe

Gianvito Rossi slip on shoes
£500 - brownsfashion.com


 ♥ Wow.. look at the price! I love these shoes but definately wouldn't pay that for them ... I'm sure there are many dupes out there much cheaper. I love the mesh detailing which gives a little peak of skin (cheeky hehe)

Coast red purse
£35 - coast-stores.com


 ♥ Envelope clutches are so stylish and cute and this one is even better because it matches the jacket and doesn't break the bank :D

Accessorize gold necklace
£20 - accessorize.com


 ♥ I love the look of these necklaces and I need one in my wardrobe haha :) They help to dress up an outfit quickly with not much effort!

Emilio Pucci bracelet
£265 - yoox.com


 ♥ Wow again... its very pricey but there are many cheaper alternatives out there and some that look much better than this one. I kept the jewelry gold and matching so it was more stylish.

MARC BY MARC JACOBS stud earrings
£29 - shopbop.com


 ♥ I LOVE these earrings, I am a big fan of rose gold jewllery and geometric shapes and the two combined are really pretty!

I hope you enjoyed this post.. glad to be back!  ♥

NOTD collab with Beautyandkatie ♥

Hey everyone, 

So this is a really exciting post for me... its my first collab blog post!
And its with the very pretty Katie from beautyandkatie.blogspot.co.uk 

We've been planning to do a collab for a long time now and here's the day which we get to share it with you lot! So we thought we'd both do a NOTD collab and share what we are both wearing on our nails...

Onto my nails...

So i've been loving painting my nails with colours that I don't often use... like greys and brighter colours... The colour which I have used is by Nails Inc and it's called 'Baker Street'.

I also used my Seche Vite Top Coat to seal the nail polish to make them shiny and last longer. I definitely recommend using the Seche Vite Top Coat because it drys your nail varnish so quickly!

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I have on my nails and enjoyed the collab... if you want to see Katie's blog post... click here!

Beauty Wishlist

Hey everyone, 

So i've noticed lately that there are a lot of new and old things out there to buy that I've been wanting for a long time or would love to try out... so I thought i'd put it all together and show you and it might tickle your fancy :D

Lets get into it...

1. Benefit Lollitint -

So I've seen this quite a few times recently and didn't realise it existed until a few weeks ago but now I've found it I would definitely love to get it in the future! It is another one of Benefit's lip and cheek stains and its in this pretty girly pink colour. I already have Benefit's highbeam and benetint and i'm very pleased with the consistency of them and how they blend out easily. 

2. Daniel Sandler Watercolour Blush - 

My mum has quite a few of these watercolour blushes and they are very pretty and so much easier to blend than regular cream blushes. I love all of the shades of these blushes but the one that caught my eye was the blush in the shade 'Charm'. It's such a natural pinky peach colour and one that I would opt to wear on an everyday basis. 

3. Mac Pro Longwear Paint Pot in 'Painterly' - 

I've seen Mac's paint pots around for such a long time now and I still haven't got around to getting any but if I were to get a shade, I would definitely opt for 'Painterly'. It looks like such a good neutral base that will cover up any extra redness that concealer doesn't cover up and will give any eye product something to cling to and not slide about or rub off.

4. Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer in 'Apocalyptic' - 

Another thing that I'd love to treat myself to is one of the Rimmel Apocalips lip lacquers in the shade 'Apocalyptic'. Out of all of the shades this one stood out to me and its not just because its one of the brightest hehe... I like to sometimes mix up what I wear on my lips and this fuchsia pink is definitely something I would want to make work.

5. Sleek Brow Kit in 'Light' - 

At the moment, I don't often do a lot with my eyebrows only really filling them in a little bit with an eye shadow but I would definitely like to purchase something like this sleek brow kit to get myself into a routine of filling them in and making them look sleek. (haha pardon the pun)

6. Happy Light Luminous Serum Primer - 

I don't own many primers but whilst I was out in superdrugs a few weeks ago, I spotted this and nearly brought it and definitely regret that I put it back. I think if I started to wear a primer under my makeup it will last much longer.

7. OPI Matte Top Coat -

I've seen many different matte top coats out there that bloggers and youtubers have reviewed but in my opinion this OPI one looked the best with all of the swatches. It's also from a brand I know well and have tried out many if their products.

8. Revlon Matte Balm - 

I've seen this online quite a bit and I'd love to get some and try them out... I own a few jumbo balm sticks and some matte lip lipsticks but never the two different things in one product. I can't pick a colour but I love the one in the picture I chose which is a deep plumy colour. 

9. Eos lip balm - 

I've had an eos lip balm before ... I think I owned the strawberry scented one and it really helped moisturise my lips and make them softer especially during the winter. Again I don't might which one I'd get and the one in the picture I think is the sweet mint one.

10. Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 'Metallic Pomegranate' - 

Finally... This is another base product haha but I already have the 'rose gold' pinky shade (I think that's what it's called) I think last year dark reds and plum colours really came into fashion and I still of it and this is something I wanted to get then but just didn't get round to getting it.

I hope you enjoyed reading this :D sorry for my absence on here but I've had a lot of schoolwork to catch up on and I've been trying to get back into the routine of writing blog posts x

Deborah Lippmann Best of Both Worlds Pop Rock Set

Hey everyone,

So lately I've really been enjoying posting regularly so today I thought I'd do another post and show you what I just received in the mail. 

I brought this on the lookfantastic website... here: http://www.lookfantastic.com/deborah-lippmann-best-of-both-worlds-pop-rock-set-limited-edition-2-x-8ml/10877367.html I'd recently seen this online and resist getting them! 

This is what it looks like in all of it's packaging... I brought this limited edition set for £17 from lookfantastic with free delivery which I thought was really good!

This is what the back of the packaging looks like...

I absolutely love the little bag it comes with:

The little bag is covered in mulit-coloured glitter with silver detailing. The only small downside about this packaging is that some of the glitter particles do come off but there is definitely enough glitter for it to stay sparkly!

Inside of the bag are two of Deborah Lippmann's Mini nail varnishes in the shades 'She Bop' and 'Happy Birthday'. 

The shade 'Happy Birthday' matches the small pouch and looks as if it contains the same glitter particles.

This is what 'Happy Birthday' looks like:

And the shade 'She Bop':

I hope you enjoyed this little post! Get the set whilst you can because it's gorgeous! Hopefully in the future I might paint my nails with the colours and show you some swatches :D

My Everyday Makeup Routine

Hey everyone,

So today I thought I'd show you my everyday makeup... so lets get into it :D

Face...

L-R Benefit Triple Emulsion Moisturiser, Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in no.1 Fair

I start of by applying any moisturiser to my face then use my collection lasting perfection concealer to cover up any discoloration, under eye circles and red spots.

Rimmel Stay Matte powder in 006 Warm Beige and Real Techniques Buffing Brush

The I set that all with my Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in 006 - Warm beige using my real techniques buffing brush.

Real Techniques Multi Task Brush, Elf blush and bronzer duo and Rimmel Match perfection blush - 001 Light

The I took my Real Techniques Multi Task Brush and took my Elf blush and bronzer duo and contoured and then took my new Rimmel Match perfection blush in 001-Light and applied to the apples of my cheeks and on top of my cheek bones.

Then I took my £3 MUA Undress Your Skin highlighter and the Real Techniques contour brush and dusted it on the tops of my cheek bones, down the center of my nose and on my cupids bow.

Now onto eyes...

Real Techniques Domed Shadow Brush

Taking my real techniques domed shadow brush, I chose any colour from the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette.. today I used the shade 'Buzz' and applied this all over my lid and blended it out for a subtle rosey look then took the lightest shade - strange and applied this in the inner corner of my eye and under my brow bone to lighten up my eyes, give dimension and to make me look more awake.

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

Then I took my Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeliner in 005 Nude and applied to my inner waterline to make my eyes bigger and brighter.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohl Kajal in 005 Nude

Then I took my new Revlon Eyelash curler and curled my eyelashes and applied a generous coat of the Revlon Lash Potion Mascara to my top and bottom eyelashes.

Then taking my big W7 Neutrals Palette, I took my most used brown shaded with an angled shadow brush by Laura Geller and filled in the shape of my eyebrows to make them look a bit less sparse. 

Laura Geller Angled Brush and W7 Eyeshadow Palette

Then I used my MUA £1 Clear Mascara and made sure they will stay in place...

MUA Clear Mascara - Shade 1

And finally onto lips...

I usually like to wear any lip balm I have then a light lipgloss or lipstick. Normally I use this free baby lips lip balm I got in a promotion offer in Boots and my Revlon Lipgloss in the Shade 004 Pink Ice.

Mini makeup and beauty haul

Hey everyone, 

So I had a busy day shopping yesterday and spent some of my money on some items I've been wanting for a long time and have definitely been needing! P.s I brought everything mentioned from superdrugs x

So the first 2 things I brought were the Collection long lasting concealers in Fair-1 and Light-2. I wasn't sure which shade I was so I brought both. I've heard a lot about them on youtube and blogs. I have to say they definitely are well worth the amount of hype they have been given! I know I've only had them for a very very short time but so far I am very impressed. They give such good coverage and for such a small price I would definitely recommend them! 

L-R Light,2 and Fair,1

I got mine for £4.19 each...

As you know if you read my previous blog posts, I've mentioned I loved the maybelline age rewind concealer and I definitely have and it's only just starting to dry up slightly which is why I needed to get a new concealer.

The next thing I also brought because I was running out of it and it is the Rimmel Stay matte powder in warm beige (006). 

I've used this powder for about a year now and a few months ago hit pan on it and ever since then I seem to use it up so much quicker. So I brought the same powder in the same shade for £3.99. Which is really affordable and lasts a long time.

I the brought an eyelash curler. My eyelashes never really curl up so I thought id buy an eyelash curler and start curling my eyelashes to see if it makes a difference. I brought my one for £6.99. I could have brought a cheaper one for about £4 but I thought this one would be better for the price and it looked pretty hehe

I brought the Revlon Diamond Collection lash curler which is hot pink and has pink diamontes on the top part which is so cute and girly. I think it makes a difference but I'm not really sure if I'm using it right at the moment because it's my first eyelash curler :)

I was also needing a new mascara so I brought the Revlon lash potion for £5 and I'm going to see if I like it. So far it looks fine, I've tried it out on my eyelashes and I like the look of it, it seperates them and makes them stand out.

I also love the packaging hehe :D (also, if you know any other mascaras that are good please leave me a comment below as I'm looking for more to try out x)

The final thing I brought I spotted as I was about to pay and it is the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. I brought it for £4.99 and adore it so far. It has to be the best cleanser and makeup remover I have ever used. For such a cheap price I couldn't resist trying it out and you get 400ml!!!!!! 

When I use it, it takes off all of my makeup quickly and thoroughly and doesn't dry out quick so I have enough time to remove all of my makeup without having to keep applying more to the cotton pad, unlike previous cleansers and makeup removers I have used.

I hope you enjoyed this little haul, comment below any blog posts you'd like to see me do and tell me any cheeky purchases you've made recently x
