Beauty Haul

Today's blog is a little beauty haul of what beauty products I bought today. If you like this blog and would like to see more hauls then please let me know.

 First off we went ti M.A.C because I wanted another eyeshadow to go in my palette. I chose a light brown coloured one in the shade 'Wedge'. I hope to use this with some of the other colours I have to create a summery light coloured smokey eye effect. M.A.C eyeshadows are a bit pricey but they are definitely worth the money! If you have an extra bit of cash, or you want to treat yourself, then I would definitely recommend getting some of their eyeshadows. 

 I then went to Boots, which is a 'drugstore' in the UK, and I finally got my hands on the Maybelline Baby Lips. I've waited for these to come out in the UK for so long, so when I saw them I had to get them. They are only £2.99 each, which is a bargain. I purchased them in 'Hydrate' and 'Intense Care'.
They're really good, they have SPF in them and they keep your lips hydrated all day, even through the heat and I can already notice a difference through having them one for just one day.

 The next thing I bought is the Nivea Daily Essentials, 2 in 1 Cleanser and Toner for normal skin. I re-purchased this product because it is so good! and because it's a 2 in 1 and I can get super lazy with looking after my skin but this product makes it so much quicker. After washing my face I put it on using a cotton pad and it moisturises my face and removes any excess makup.
It leaves my skin feeling really refreshed and in the mornings it looks a lot healthier.
If you are looking for a good cleanser and toner, get this one because it's also quite cheap!

The last thing I purchased is some more cotton wool pads. I got the double faced ones, which are the larger ones because they are much easier to use.
I just buy Boot's own because they are quite cheap.
I've found that I have to use about 3 of the smaller ones to cleanse my face, or 1 large one.
So I got the large ones, I re-purchase these because they do exactly what they are meant to do and they are super soft on my skin.

Summery Outfit Of The Day

So after being to Portugal, I think I brought the lovely hot and sunny weather back with me to Britain. This week has been lovely, so today as it is the weekend, I decided to go out.
I think this is my first Fashion post unless you count the hauls I have done, so here is my outfit of the day. I'm not the girliest of girls, but this is a lovely cute summery look.

 Sorry about the quality of that picture.. it isn't very good. Also, my t-shirt is a bit weird but yeah.

I have my slightly over sized denim jacket which I have only just got but I love it already. It's made by MOTO. It does have long sleeves, but I have rolled them up to three quarter because it's quite hot usually, and I think that having three quarter sleeves suits me a lot better.
If you don't have a denim jacket, then I would suggest you get one because they are great for summer, light and go with so many different things.

Then I have my Star Wars Coffee T-Shirt, which I wear a lot. This is also over sized because I like to have a few baggy tops because I find them so comfortable. The sleeves are normal but are quite long on me, so I rolled them up a bit. The caption is 'May The Froth Be With You' .. (haha). I got this to go on holiday because it's light and it's the kind of top where you can just chuck it on and it goes with everything. I purchased it from Ebay, but you can also get it on Amazon. I love these types of t-shirts and I got it in white as I don't have many white tops. 

Lastly I have on my Authentic Soft Denim, High Waisted Shorts from New Look. I got these last summer, but they do have a new version of them out this season. I love wearing them because they fit me really nice and they are super soft, so I also have the khaki green ones. I mainly wear them to tuck t-shirt into them, but I just think they are really cute and very summery.

I do also have white frilly socks on from Topshop because they go lovely with this outfit.
Let me know what you thought about this blog, and if you would like to see any more outfit of the days.

Also, I have just uploaded a new video on to my YouTube channel, so go ahead and check it out.

Topshop Haul

Thought I'd do a fashion blog today, so I decided to do a 'Topshop Haul', these are the items that I have bought from Topshop in the last 2/3 weeks.
The pictures make them quite unflattering, but I will soon be doing a 'spring outfits' blog, wear I will wear a lot of these clothes, so you can see them on.

So the first item, that is probably my favourite one is this Aztec Print blue and white dress. Now I'm not really the type of girl that wears dresses to go out in the day, but when I saw this I loved it. It fits perfectly and has a zip up the side. It's tight and then flares out a bit but not too much. It has a lace up back which looks so pretty and I think this will be great for when I go on holiday and as a lovely summer dress. So I was happy because it's a dress that suits me. Plus it was £34 pound which isn't a bad price for a good quality and detailed dress.

 Next thing I purchased was another pair of their frilly ankle socks because I think they are so cosy and they look really nice with shorts and vans. I also have a grey pair of these and I wear them a lot so I bought the white pair. On me, they suit vans and converse but they go lovely with dresses, skater skirts or with shorts. They are £3.50 each or you can get 3 for £8. As the weather gets nicer, I will probably go and buy more pairs because Topshop does so many designs of them.

 Next thing I bought was a plain grey vest, it's pretty basic, on the picture it looks huge but I can promise you it's not huge. It's just a loose fit vest that will be nice for me just to place over my bikini on holiday, or to lounge around the house in. It's good because in the summer, I just like to throw a vest and top on and this will be perfect for that. Plus, even though it's only grey, I like the colour. This was £6, or you could get 2 for £10. Now I got 2 for £10 because I got this grey one and my Mum got a dark red one, haha.

 Now I bought these leggings a couple of weeks back, but I thought I would add in this haul because I have wore them a lot and I just really like them. They're just dark red / burgundy leggings. They are quite thick and you can't see anything through them. Some days I come home and I just want something to lounge around in and these are great for that. I think they were around £18 and they go with quite a lot of things, you can either dress it up with a blouse or just lounge about in them with a vest.



This is also one of my favourite purchases. It is a figure hugging but stretchy crop top and I got it in white because I don't have many white things. I have been looking for this kind of top for a while, but there was so much choice. I chose white because I don't have many white things and it makes my tan stand out more. On me, I think this will look nice with denim shorts and it was only £8. I just think I will wear it a lot this summer because it is so versatile.

 Again, this isn't my best photography, but I got this Long sleeve Check Shirt for £29. On the picture it looks absolutely huge, but I can assure you it's only just longer than an average shirt. I like the colours and it goes with loads of things I have wore this a few times with shorts and tights, but personally I prefer wearing it tucked into jeans. The sleeves roll up and it has a top button so it is good no matter what the weather is like.

The last thing I purchased was one of Topshops Nail Varnish's. I've heard loads of  people say how good these are so I went out and purchased one. I got this bright blue one in the shade 'Air Kisses'. It dries fast and has a lovely glossy finish. It was £5 and I would definitely go and buy some more shades. If you don't own any of their nail varnish's, you should definitely go and get one. I find that the best thing about this nail varnish is that it doesn't chip to easily, so it stays pretty firm, and also the range of colours Topshop have.

Make-Up..March Favourites

After thinking of what to blog about, I decided that it's only a couple of days into April so I would do a blog of the make-up products that I have loved the most in March.

So, i have chosen the five products that I have loved the most, so here they are : 

First of all is the M.A.C Plush Lash Mascara, which was around £15. M.A.C isn't the cheapest brand but the all their products are of high quality. I got given this mascara as a gift and it's a great mascara that gives a good even coverage on your eyelashes. I have this mascara in black but I think this would also look really good in a brown/black shade because it whether you have a lot of it on or just a thin coat it looks lovely and stays quite well. Also, it stays on all day without smudging! It has a large 'fat' brush, that gives your eyelashes good length but it isn't clumpy, even though it has a big brush, it's easy to apply and doesn't smudge underneath your eyes!  Also, it is quite easy to remove with a normal make up wipe.

The second product that I have chosen is the CLINIQUE  Chubby Stick. They are around £10-£15 depending from where you get it from. Now I've never really been a lipstick lover, but when lipstick brands started bringing out nude colours, I started to like them. I get dry lips quite often and I never found a lipstick that would moisturize and have a great colour until I saw this. I'd heard a lot about these Chubby Sticks so I went and purchased one in the shade 06 Woppin' Watermelon. It is literally amazing. It's a baby pink shade but it doesn't make your lips really light, like a barbie doll, just a bit lighter, a nice shade. The best thing about this product is the fact that it moisturizes really well! It's not glossy, just matte but with a slight shine, which is good and it's highly pigmented which lasts throughout the day. Finally, because it is shaped like a crayon, then it is easy and quick to apply. If you haven't tried one of these, then I urge you too! It's a must have! And it comes in many different colours.

Another item that I have been loving lately is the Jack Wills Ladies Fragrance Rollerball. This mini perfume, fits great into your handbag and it smells amazing. I bought mine for £14.50. I find it hard to describe scents but it's just lovely, it's kind of flowery and girly but it's not that strong and over-powering it is just enough and I suppose it has a vintage side to it as well. You should go and try it because I have hopeless at describing things well! There is a slight difference between this one and another one, this one has blue writing on the box and there is another Jack Wills perfume with pink writing on the box, which isn't as nice because to me it was too over powering, but the one I have is called 'Fontwell Rollerball Scent' if that is any help? I came across this in the a Jack Wills shop, so I don't know if you can get it on the website, but I'm sure you can. Anyway it smells lovely and will be nice to wear as it is spring because it is a light perfume that just smells gorgeous. 

Now this product, is a little handy thing that I thought I would add in, even though I've had it for a couple of months now, it is the AVON Perfect Eyebrow Pencil. I think it was around £3 which is a bargain. I think this is a great product because it has an eyebrow pencil one end and a brush on the other, so it's 2 in 1. I have this in the shade 'Blonde' because I'm blonde, (obviously aha) and it's perfect, I don't draw on my eyebrows completely  I only touch them up and fill in gaps and it does a really good job, I now use it daily.

Last but certainly not least on my March Beauty Favourites is the L'OREAL Paris Super Liner, Ultra Precision Eyeliner. I draw on my eye liner daily and out of all the liquid eyeliners that I have tried, this is one of the best. Its like a thin felt tip, and it's soft which makes it even easier to apply. I don't usually have a thick line of eyeliner, but this can do any.. it's easy for a thin line or a thick. I like black eyeliners and its high pigmented and looks fab, it doesn't smudge and it lasts all day.  It is easy to remove as well, which is a good thing. The price of this eyeliner is around £7-£8 pound and I suppose that is kind a bit pricey for a high street (drug store) brand, but it is definitely worth it.  

Well, they have been my favourite make up products this past month. I hope you have enjoyed reading this, please let me know (by commenting)  if you have tried these products or if there is any products that you think I should try!
