Lipgloss Lovin..

At the moment I'm loving wearing lipgloss. I'm into more neutral shades and colours so they go with everything and you can wear them day or night.

The lip glosses shown above are 
(Top Left) Loreal Paris Glamshine Stain Splash in 101 Lolita
(Bottom Left) Loreal L'extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick by Colour Riche in 500 Molto Mauve
(Top Right) Bare Minerals Marvellous Movie in Rebel
(Bottom Right) Maybelline Super Stay 24 Colour in 615 Soft Taupe

These 4 lip glosses are super wearable, and make your lips look more fuller than they are.
They are all super affordable, and they would also be perfect for christmas or birthday gifts.

Also can I just add, how pretty is the packaging?! 

Let me know what you think!

AUTUMN/WINTER WISHLIST

How BEAUTIFUL would this outfit look? I love it. I know it's all black (apart from the fedora) but I just think it would look so flattering on. I would definitely wear this outfit to university or if I was going out shopping. However I reckon you could probably dress it up with a few more accessories and wear it out to drinks or going to a bar. But to be honest, you can wear this outfit wherever you would want too, it's just so versatile! 

I would probably say the boots are my favourite thing out of all of the pieces. They're just so different and they really make the outfit. However the dress, oh I do love a shirt dress, just looks soooo wearable. 

Now, i'm definitely a high street girl but some of these items are not so high street...But I just had to include them because they're just too beautiful. 

So..

The shirt dress - farfetch.com - £302 
Leather Jacket - New Look - £99.99 
Fedora - River Island - £28
Black Bag - Asos - £38
Ring - Asos - £3.00
Boots - Alexander Wang - £565 .. (I know, its heartbreaking)


If I wanted those Alexander Wang boots then I'd probably not be able to eat for about 6 months but let's not dwell on the negative stuff..
I hope some of you like this look and check it all out on ASOS.COM!

NOVEMBER HAUL..IN PICTURES ♥

So, I actually need to be banned from shopping, because it's getting out of hand. I simply cannot stop myself. But oh well, I bought some pretty things. I've been feeling stressed out recently because of the amount of uni work I have, so I decided to buy myself some christmas presents (yes that is my excuse). 

So first of all I headed to Lush.. 

Lush have all of their new Christmas stuff in and I really could not resist myself. Also, I just love their products in general, I find they really work with my skin and I love the ingredients they use in their products. So I picked up some skin care stuff too. I've recently ran out of my chocolate face mask tub thing so I wanted to get myself a new one! 

I bought the 'BB Seaweed' fresh face mask and you have to keep it in the fridge otherwise it will go off. The lovely man in Lush recommended this one if I wanted to brighten up my skin and make my skin super soft, which sounded good to me. It smells a bit minty..and also a bit like oatmeal or porridge. Not the nicest of scents but hopefully it'll do the job.

Secondly, I picked up 'The Mask Of Magnaminty'. It smells so minty which I think will make my skin feel so clean and fresh. If you have skin that is prone to sometimes breaking out (which mine is) this stuff is supposed to help keep spots at bay. I'm looking forward to giving this one a go.

Moving onto the Christmas stuff, I HAD to pick this one up. It's called 'The Christmas Penguin'. He's so cute, and the John Lewis advert made me love penguins even more. This one is definitely called Monty. (If you haven't watched the John Lewis advert go and watch it now and you'll get what i'm going on about). He smells like the traditional powdery soapy smell which I love. This one is a bubble bar, which means it will last you several baths! You simply break bits off and crumble it under the bath and it will make your bath all bubbly and smell delicious! 

Then finally this one. Which blogger has NOT talked about this?! It's called 'Holly go Lightly'. I've seen this bubble bar all over the blogesphere and YouTube! I want to see what all the fuss is about. All I can see is it smells exactly like Christmas. If you drink Chai lattes, then you'll know what I mean. I currently have glitter EVERYWHERE but I don't care because I love glitter and it's so god damn pretty! 

Moving onto fashion bits.. 

I picked up these super cool brogues from New Look, and they were only £17.99. I work in New Look, so I often see what comes in and what I like and want to buy. As soon as I saw these I loved them and so look really smart on. They are actually really comfy, much comfier than I thought and I know i'm going to get loads of wear out of these.

The next thing is this light grey leather kind of skater skirt from River Island. I'm not 100% whether to keep this or not. I think I need to try it on with a few different outfits. I just thought it looked really cute and flattering on, and I love that neutral colour. The fact that it's leather makes it even better..Any help?

I have also picked up two jumpers from Zara. The pictures above show the first one I bought which I think is so flattering. Who doesn't love a black jumper? From the front it looks like your average useful jumper, but at the back, as you can see from the second picture, it has a deep V cut out of it (excuse my bra). This jumper looks wicked with super skinny jeans or leather look leggings and boots. As i'm blonde, black seems to just suit me and flatter me, so this jumper is a big thumbs up from me, and it was only £24.99.

The second one is almost like a jumper dress. You'd probably have to be quite brave to wear it as a dress haha, but I think it looks great with ripped skinnies, leggings or some patterned trousers. I LOVE the look of an oversized jumper and I also LOVE roll necks, so once again, Zara has killed it! PLUS, it was only £19.99 which I think is amazing value. 

Lastly, I went to Brandy Melville for the first time! It is such an adorable shop. Really cute, laid back and comfy clothing. Really reminded me of Urban Outfitters. If you want to check it out, theres one just off Carnaby st, Fouberts Place. I bought this super cute silver ring with a clear gem in the middle, and this long chain silver necklace with two conjoined circles in the bottom which I will get so much wear out of. I'm really into silver jewellery at the moment, I think it looks so chic and sophisticated.

SO, thats the last of my November haul in pictures. 
Please ask me any questions if you want to know more about the items!

Three new autumn lipsticks..

I popped into Boots the other day and I was browsing through the make up isles and they had a 3 for 2 offer on over all make up brands.. so obviously I couldn't help myself. I wanted to pick up a couple of new lipsticks because I'm running out of my Kate Moss Rimmel 03 lipstick which is the best neutral shade, and I wanted to try a few new ones. I also love wearing bolder lipsticks in the autumn to brighten up your face a bit. 

The three lipsticks I picked up are by Maybelline. (From left to right) The shades are 'Coffee Craze', 'Velvet Beige' and 'Pleasure me Red'. They are all such beaaaaautiful colours! 

This one is 'Coffee Craze'. It's a really lovely neutral browny shade with a slight shimmer to it. It's so wearable and gorgeous for the autumn winter months. I love wearing this lip colour with an all black outfit and a subtle smokey eye for the super autumnal look! 

This shade is the 'Velvet Beige'. Once again it's quite a neutral shade (I love neutral shades..) but it has a slight hint of raspberry pinky plumy tones. It looks so gorgeous on and really compliments my skin tone. I'd wear this lipstick during the day but I also feel like I could wear it on a night out or if I went out for drinks somewhere. 

Lastly.. 'Pleasure me Red'. Who doesn't love a good red lipstick? This red isn't too blood red or pink red.. it just sits perfectly in the middle. It has a really subtle shimmer in it and it is just so pretty. Such a perfect shade for autumn.




All of these three lipsticks are such a lovely texture. They seem to just glide on my lips, and they do stay on well, I don't feel like i'm constantly re applying. At only £6.99 each (and 3 for 2) go and grab yourself some.

I hope you like this post, give me a comment on what you think!

Mini Skincare Haul..

I've already managed to almost get through all of my simple skincare products, so I needed to go to Boots and Superdrug and pick up a few bits. I wanted to try something different, something that would make my skin feel clean and fresh and make sure I get read of all make up and impurities on my face. So down below I'm going to list and put photos of all the new products i've bought and what I think about them. 

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

This product really appealed to me as it is a clear liquid which doesn't look like it would irritate your skin and it just looks pure and clean! It isn't fragranced which is better for sensitive skin, and it basically just removes all of your make up and cleanses your skin as well. It is really gentle, and as I do have sensitive skin it's really great for me. It's also really purse friendly at only about £3.50 from Superdrug.

Garnier Express 2 in 1 Eye Make Up Remover

Even though the Micellar water could take off my eye make up, I feel like my eyes are super sensitive and get sore really easily. So i'd rather use something which is specially designed to be especially sensitive to the eye area. This product is supposed to take off all eye make up, even waterproof, and also protect your eyelashes as well. When you use this product you don't need to rub at your eye, if you just hold a cotton pad with this liquid on it for a few seconds it should remove most of it. It doesn't leave oily or greasy residue and it is supposed to use natural ingredients. I like this product a lot and will definitely be re-purchasing! 

Neutrogena spot stress control daily scrub. 

So this product you put on morning and night before you cleanse your face and after you've removed your make up. It has loads of little balls (microbeads if you're being scientific) in the formula which feels really good when you're scrubbing your face, it makes it feel like you're getting all the dirt out (lol). It makes your face feel so fresh and clean after using it, and it has green tea and cucumber in the ingredients which just sounds good..I like this product! 

Neutrogena Spot Stress Control Daily Cleansing Lotion.

You put this product on with a cotton pad after you put the daily scrub on. It gets rid of all excess make up and dirt and gives your face that extra clean and fresh feeling. I do feel like it reduces redness of spots and blotchiness too. I put this on morning and night and it leaves my face feeling so soft and smooth. I like also really like this product, it works really well with the daily scrub. 

So thats it for my mini skin care haul! I hope you enjoy it or it helps you out if you're looking for a few new skincare bits to pick up! Please give my blog a follow if you liked this post!

Three different autumn/university outfits!

OUTFIT 1

Coat - Primark / Top - Topshop / Jeans - Topshop / Shoes - Primark / Bag - Topshop / Jewellery - Topshop 

I love this look! Every items is so versatile and I love the the mix of neutral colours. The coat is super warm and was such a bargain are £25.00 from Primark, so go and grab yours now! I love the oversized, cocoon shape of this coat. And the shoes.. oh the shoes. Once again Primark has cracked it. They go with absolutely everything and are soooo comfy, and at £14.00 you cannot go wrong! The bag I also bought really recently from Topshop, it's real suede so it should be pretty durable. I was missing a black slouchy bag that would fit everything in it, and this one does the job perfectly. 

OUTFIT 2. 

Coat - Mens Vintage Rokit / Top - Missguided / Trousers - Topshop / Shoes - River Island / Bag - Topshop 

This look is so laid back but quite smart at the same time. The dusky pink trousers are a really structured, thick material which makes them more wintery but also more dressy. I love this top.. its so slouchy and comfy and it has an open back, which is so gorgeous. This mac was a star find. I was rooting around in Rokit Vintage and came across it in the mens section and I looooove the slightly oversized fit. Such a staple. The shoes might not be the comfiest ever, but I do love a pointy metallic loafer..

OUTFIT 3. 

Duster Coat - Asos / Shirt - River Island / Trousers - New Look / Shoes - Topshop / Bag - Topshop 

I've had this navy duster coat for a while now and i'm still in love with it. It goes perfectly with so many outfits and I love the look of a super long duster! I might have loved it even more when Kylie Jenner wore it, sshhh. I saw the shirt in the fashion cupboard when I was interning and I had to grab it as I thought it would look lovely under a wooly jumper or how i've styled it above. The trousers came into new look about 2 months ago and sold out so fast, Zara did identical ones about 6 months ago, and when I saw them in the Oxford St one recently, I had to have them! They're super cool with a slight androgynous edge. 

So I hope you guys like the outfits i've put together. I would wear these outfits to University, but you could wear them to work or on a day out shopping! Everything i'm wearing is high st,  which i'm definitely all about!

All time favourite Lush bath products..

Morning! I just thought i'd do a quick blog post about how much I adore Lush bath products! When I woke up this morning, the first thing I did was run a hot bath and pop in my favourite bath bomb by lush, The Butterball. It makes me feel so soft and moisturised after having my bath and it just smells so comforting and clean. I love dropping them in your bath and just watching them fizz away. 

Another one of my favs from lush is a Bubble Bar, The Comforter. I heard loads of bloggers talk about it, so a couple of months ago I tried it, and now whenever I'm near a Lush store I make sure I go in and pick up a couple. I just love how you can break a bit off and crumble it under the bath tap and it makes the bath go pink and bubbly, and smell like strawberries! If you haven't been to Lush or you haven't tried either of these products I definitely suggest you do!

The Comforter (it's really small now cause i've used so much of it haha)

Simple Skincare Lovin'..

I'm currently LOVING skincare by Simple. I have been trying loads of things out at the moment, as my skin is sensitive and does tend to break out I don't want a product that aggravates my skin however recently i've been using the Simple 'kind to skin soothing facial toner', The 'kind to eyes eye make up remover' and 'kind to eyes soothing eye balm'. 

I find it really hard to find a good eye make up remover, as I want something that is soothing and isn't going to make my eyes sore and red. When I came across the simple one I was so pleased as it really is so soothing on the eyes and it removes all eye make up, even waterproof mascara. Plus, there is no irritation caused around my eyes, which usually happens with other products. 

I always put toner on at night and in the mornings, as I feel it evens out my skin tone and really refreshes my skin. It removes any dirt or excess make up, and just makes my skin feel so clean and soft, which I love. I also feel that it helps keep my make up on for longer! 

Lastly, I have only recently started using eye cream, but I've heard using one is really beneficial (especially if you get dark circles under your eyes, which I certainly do!). I put it on morning and night, and it feels so soothing and it reduces redness and puffiness around the eye. I also find it much easier to apply to concealer once i've used my eye cream.

All in all, I think simple products are a must! They're affordable, however they do the job perfectly. I will definitely be repurchasing!
