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!

Cold autumn outfits..

So, today was my first day back at uni (i know it's soooo late) and it was actually quite enjoyable. I'm looking forward to learning more about certain subjects, which is definitely positive. 
Anyway it has only just started getting really cold and autumn like. I'm actually really happy about this because I can whack out my winter coats at last! I love this look because it's super cute and casual, but the coat adds a slight androgynous but formal look to it. The coat has to have a special mention because it was such a bargain. It was £24.99 full price in H&M! How good is that? And it has wool in it! Such good value, I suggest you all run down to H&M and grab one! It's so warm and I feel like this coat is so versatile. You can style it with any look and outfit, so perfect for me! 

Dress - Zara TRF
Boots - New Look

All the stuff i'm really is really recent and still in the shops. 

ALSO I finally got my hair chopped off today which i'm so happy about. I feel like I could maybe go shorter? I'm not sure..

Loads of love,

Shopping day outfit..

So Westfield in Stratford had a big student event the other day where loads of stores were offering 20% off, so obviously I had to go! The outfit I wore was really casual and comfy, but I liked the way it looked. I know the lighting in the photos aren't great but i'm still getting used to my camera and it's settings! 

Oversized denim shirt - Blitz (Vintage), White high neck t-shirt - H&M, Grey trousers - Zara, Snakeskin pumps - New Look 

The colours are all very neutral which is why they go well together and make the look so relaxed. I love the trousers because they can look formal with a shirt and a duster coat, however you can dress them down what i've done here and wear them with some pumps or trainers and t-shirt.
