Tea&Crumpets, anyone?

Hello lovelies & welcome back! 

As spring is now finally upon us, I've been going around decorating the rooms with daffodils & fluffy chicks for Easter! I love decorating and matching the rooms to the seasons/events such as Halloween, Easter, Valentine's Day, birthdays..etc! 

I was doing my usual wondering around boots and of course came across the Essie stand. For some reason, I get pulled into that stand like it's got it's own gravitational force-field and I can't help it! I think it's because it's so clean and bright, and all the colours of nail polishes look amazing in front of its pristine white background. 

After about 5-10 minutes of standing there slightly mesmerised I suddenly thought I should of really by now picked up a colour and moved on, but I hadn't.. Luckily, I'm allowed to wear nail polish where I work so I had no limits, but I kept going back to this gorgeous shimmery nude colour called Tea&Crumpets. 

Essie - Tea&Crumpets £7.99

I thought it was perfect for spring and I'll be honest I loved the name of the colour! Essie, has always been one of my favourite brands of nail products, their colours are stunning, last ages without chipping & dry really quickly too! They've never let me down & I will forever mesmerised by their huger array of stunning colours!

White & Grey

Hello everyone & welcome back to my blog! 

Today post is a little different, its slightly more fashion based.

Recently, I've been loving the colour schemes light grey and white, I really think they work for spring/summer and I've noticed that when I've been out and about shopping the majority of things I reach for are light grey and white. 

I think these colours work beautifully and look really classy together which really works now we're heading into brighter, sunnier days. 

White Shoes £50 - River Island

 Chain And Pearl Necklace £19.99 - Zara

Grey Satchel Bag £30 - River Island 

Perfume Femme £9.99 - Zara

First up was River Island, This is one of my favourite high street brands. The quality of there clothes and products are fantastic and their clothes never ever disappoint me as they're always so flattering and the cuts they use are beautiful.  

Ive recently been longing for a pair of white shoes, searching high and low, and when I walked into River Island I saw these and had to get my hands on them! They're so gorgeous and really do go with everything which is perfect and i love the point at the toe giving them class and elegance -  Ive got a feeling they'll be my summer essential this year. 

Along with the Satchel, This colour is seriously stunning. Its a gorgeous light grey and just goes with everything with a lovely silver lining, making it easy for you to actually see everything inside it. It also comes with an adjustable strap and have hooks on the back to transform it into a rucksack which is always useful. Its a perfect size and also is made out of really sturdy material so it doesn't loose its shape at all when all us girls fill our bags with too much stuff! 

After that I ventured into Zara, now along with other things (which where a pair of white jeans and a grey jumper) I got drawn to their jewellery stand .. something of which I never do! Thats when I saw this beautiful chain and pearl necklace, I've been searching for a silver statement necklace for a very long time now and all the ones I've seen has always been gold, which doesn't suit me as much so when I saw this I literally Squealed with excitement and Its a gorgeous finishing touch to an outfit. 

Then, I decided to make my way over to the perfume stand 

-again, another stand I've never really gone over to before and picked up the Femme Perfume, Its In a really beautiful white square bottle with rose gold writing and a rose gold lid. Its one of my current favourites its so womanly and quite sexy with notes of sandalwood, vanilla, caramel and musk. 

What are your current favourites? 

Hope you enjoyed the post!

Stepping Into Spring

Hello Everybody & Welcome Back! 

Todays post is all about stepping back into spring and what products I'm really loving and helping me combat the spring transition! 

Spring is without doubt my favourite time of year, everything is blossoming and coming back to life after the cold winter months. 

Here are a few of my favourite products which help me along the way! 

1. Makeup Removal

Bioderma - Sensiblo H2O 250ml

Bioderma has been my number #1 for years! 

Its a water cleanser, which has hundreds of befits such as gentle exfoliation, moisture and makeup removal, its perfect for thirsty skin! 

The Bioderma H2O has been formulated from sensitive skin, this assures everybody that you can use it on the extra sensitive areas on your face such as your eyes and won't cause any aggravation, leaving your skin feeling fresh, hydrated and cleansed.

2. Moisturising

Ponds - Hydro-Nourising Cream 

Recently I have been loving the Ponds range!

They come in various different formulations for different skin types, I use the Hydro-Nourishing Cream. This moisturiser makes my skin feel amazing. I use it every morning and every night and have been for about a month and I've definitely noticed a massive change in my skin texture and look (so have my friends!) Its available from Boots for only £4.99 and I'm so impressed with the results! 

3. Foundation

Estee Lauder - Double Wear Foundation in Cool Bone 

This Estee Lauder Foundation is my holy grail Go-To foundation, Its one I always turn to and makes my skin look even, smooth and lasts all day (honestly - It won't budge!) 

This foundation gives you medium coverage and is very buildable if you feel like you need a little more, but personally I don't need to even use concealer with this foundation and a little goes a very long way! 

What I love about this foundation is that it also contains SPF which for these spring/summer months is a very important! 

4. Mascara

Too Faced - Better Than Sex Mascara

This mascara has recently been on the top of everybody mascara charts recently, Its formula is lovely and think which really grips onto your eyelashes and gives them lift, volume and curl which doesn't flake or come off throughout the day.

The wand is a hour glass shape which I love, this is definitely my favourite type of mascara wand because I feel as though it really captures every single on of my lashes and gives them a lot of lift. 

Not only do certain types of products make me feel ready for spring. Recently I've been loving long walks, I always feel relaxed coming back from a walk in the sun with the cold wind 'blowing the cobwebs away'.

I've also been drinking lots of water, as keeping hydrated through these months is very important for your skin and detoxing.

Thank you for reading!

My Everyday Makeup

Hello Everybody, 

Todays post is just a quick insight into my everyday makeup I wear, 

Im a HUGE fan of flicked eyeliner and honestly where it every single day. 

details:

Urban Decay - Naked 2 pallet

Rimmel London - Glam eyes liquid eyeliner

Too Faced - Better than sex mascara

MAC - RiRi Woo Lipstick

I will be starting to do tutorials of my makeup and various looks, but first I thought I would show you how/what I usually wear on a day-to-day basis. 

RiRiWoo by MAC is probably my favourite Limited Edition MAC lipstick - ever. 

Its so buildable and the colour is beautiful, but Im over half way and have to use it sparingly, so as a replacement I use MAC RubyWoo, which featured in my last post! They're both very similar as they're matte and both have blue undertones - this creates the illusion of white teeth! the only difference is RubyWoo is a lighter shade of red. 

I love wearing red lipstick when I'm not at work.

 Its the perfect statement, timeless and add heaps of glam to any outfit, which for me - is a must!

I usually pair it with a light brown smoky eye, and a cat flick of eyeliner, as its not too intense and doesn't take all the focus away from the lips (you either want to emphasise one or the other)

Hope you enjoyed the post,

any questions? just leave a comment & I'll get back to you!
