Casual OOTD

Hey everyone!

Today I just wanted to do a quick post on my outfit of the day. I went out to town to run some errands and

also watched A Royal Night Out with my sister - which, by the way we loved! I love these types of looks where,

you are just in casual and comfy clothes. It's just stylish but effortless. I''ll be doing more of this type of thing

so hope you like it and it gives you a bit of inspiration!

The White V-Neck - 3 Ways

Hello everyone! Hope you're all well.

Today I just wanted to do a little post on how I'm styling my white v-necks at the moment.

I love a white v-neck. It's so simple and so classic and goes with almost anything! This particular one is from

Forever 21 and only cost just £3. Its a great staple piece to have, especially at that price. I picked up quite a few of

them!I did my outfits more spring/summer appropriate, so hope this helps you and gives you some inspiration!

What's In My Bag?

Hello everyone! Hope you're all well.

Today I wanted to do an updated 'what's in my bag' as, the last one I did was quite a while ago now.

Also, I got a new bag recently and got a great deal on it so wanted to share it with you as it's so pretty!

Enjoy.

Carvela Edee Double Handle Plate Shoulder Bag (Tk Maxx/Very)

I got this bag recently as a little birthday present to myself. I saw it in TK Maxx. In store it said £29.99 on

the price tag but on to website it comes up as 39.99 so I'm not sure why but, either way it's a lot cheaper then

it is originally. I was eyeing it up on the Very website but when I saw it in TK Maxx for this price I just grabbed

it! It's so spacious and pretty and I love the fact it has a longer strap too so you can carry it on your shoulder

instead. I love the colour and the gold accents on it too. If you see it I say get it for this price!

New Design Purse

I got this purse a while ago in TK Maxx also but can't find a link unfortunately. It's just a nude colour and is

has lots of card room which, is perfect! I do need a new purse though as it is getting a bit tatty.

H&M Butterly Coin Purse

I carry change all the time for parking so I prefer to carry it seperately so my purse isn't too heavy. It's just a

cute coin purse and carries a lot.

Keys

Just my keys with my house and car keys on it! Pretty Essential.

Aveeno Hand Cream

I don't really need to use hand cream as my hands are soft anyway. I just like to keep it handy in case I do

get dry hands.

Thierry Mugler Alien Eau de Parfum Refillable

My signature perfume. I like to keep it in my bag with me just to top up through out the day.

I do have a travel one I prefer to take around with me but I've ran out.

Tesco Pro Formula Hand Wipes & Hand Sanitiser

I like to keep these things with me as I'm fussy about things I touch in public. It's good to clean your

steering wheel and phone with the wipes also as a lot of bacteria builds up there.

Carmex Lip Pot Original

I get really dry lips so I carry this around with me all day. I'm constantly using it and it's

the best lip balm I've used.

Collective Haul

Hello everyone!

I've got a big collective haul for you today. I've been doing quite a lot of retail therapy lately which has

made a bit of a dent in my bank account (Whoops!). Some of these things I have wanted for such a long

time though and I'm so excited to share what I brought with you guys!

Hope you Enjoy!

    Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water.

    Recently I decided to switch up my skincare routine. Instead of using a face wipe to take off my make-up I

    wanted to try this micellar water from Garnier. So many people talk about how great it is and thought I would

    give in and give it a go! I see what the fuss is about. It feels a lot nicer then a face wipe. It really gets all my

    make-up off which I love. I prefer to use some sort of make-up remover before going in with my cleanser.

    Sally Hansen Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat.

    I've been getting more into my nails over the past few weeks. I'mnever usually fussesd about my nails as I'm not supposed

    to wear nail polish at work and if I ever do, then they just chip easily and it's too much hassle. I really love stiletto nails

    and I love how my nails look when they're long. I never really use base or top coats but I knew I really should use them. I

    found this double duty top and base coat from Sally Hansen. It's such a great little 2 in 1 product! It definitely makes sure

    that dark colours don't stain my nails and also makes sure it doesn't chip so easily as well.

    Schwarzkopf got2b Happy Hour 24 Hour Hairspray.

    This is just my usually hairspray that I LOVE. I just needed to restock. The smell of it reminds me of pina colada..

    anyone else get that?

    Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion

    Another product that is one of my favourites. I've tried other moisturisers I just find myself going back to this one all the

    time and it lasts me absolutely ages!

    Urban Decay Perversion Mascara.

    At first I wasn't too fussed about this mascara when it came out but after the guy at the Urban Decay counter told me

    how amazing it was and how Kim Kardashian used it for her wedding make-up, he got my attention! (I'm a very big

    Kardashion fan). After doing some research on it and seeing some reviews I just had to try it out. so far I am absolutely in

    love. I will be doing a review on this mascara soon so look out for that!

    Mario Badescu Drying Lotion.

    I have wanted to try Mario Badescu products for such a long time and finally I just gave in and bought a few things to try.

    The price tag was the main thing that put me off which, is why I've only bought 2 products for now. This particular

    product is a targeted spot treatment for pimples and whiteheads. I've been using it for over a week now and I'm really

    impressed. The smell isn't great but it's not the worst and you do get used to it. It dramatically reduces any spot I have and

    helps calm it down a lot. It wont work on any cystic spots. There is another treatment designed for that which is

    the Buffering Lotion, That will be my next purchase!

    Mario Badescu Drying Mask.

    I bought this dry mask to go with my drying lotion. I really enjoy using this. It says you can use it 2-3 times a week. I

    probably use it 1-2 times a week. It claims that calms exsisting acne and prevents future break out. I'd say so far after

    using it a few times that it does do that. I do feel like it calms my skin down and it does help dry out any spots I have.

    Macadamia Natural Oil Shampoo, Moisturising Rinse, Nourishing Leave In Cream &

    Deep Repair Mask.

    I recently tried the travel set from Macadamia Oil and I really enjoyed it so bought some bigger bottles of my most

    loved products from them. Although, the leave in cream was an accidental purchase. I was supposed to get the

    moisturising rinse and wasn't paying attention and ended up ordering the cream instead so had to go back and purchase the

    rinse! I only realised while taking the picture for this post.. that'll teach me to pay attention in future I suppose!

    I love using these products. They leave my hair feelings amazing and smell incredible! They are expensive but I've found

    they they are so much cheaper on Amazon so will just continue to purchase them on there. 

    My mum did actually pick up some cheap versions of these in Aldi I think it was for 99p each! They're exactly the same

    size as these bottles as well. I will definitely be giving those a go and reviewing them to see if they are any good.

    Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm.

    After watching Barbara from The Persian Babe's skincare routine, I really wanted to try out this cleansing balm. I usually

    use the No7 Hot Cloth Cleanser but as I said before, I wanted to switch up my skincare products. It's for all skin types

    which, is great. I prefer to use a balm or cream cleanser as it's less harsh on my skin and my skin can get very dry so I

    want something that wont dry it out even more. I've been using the balm for the past few weeks and I'm so happy with it. It

    is very expensive but I'm hoping it will last me a while to make up for that!

    Topshop Nail Polish in Ruthless. (Not currently available online)

    As it's getting colder I wanted a deep red nail polish to get me more in the mood for Autumn/Winter. I usually use Revlon

    Nail Enamel in Vixen, but have ran out of that. I got this one in Topshop for £4 as I used my friends student discount. This

    colour is so gorgeous and it's that type of colour that will suit most skin tones.

    TK Maxx Gold & White Chevron Photo Frame. (Similar Here)

    I'm currently in the process of decorating me room. Everything is quite neutral with a few accent colours, with gold being

    one of them. I love white and gold. I think it's so elegant and simple. I picked this photo frame up in TK Maxx for about £7/8.

    IntensivEye Collagen Under Eye Pads.

    Whilst I was in TK Maxx I found these under eye pads in the beauty section. I love TK Maxx's beauty section so much!

    you can discover so many great finds in there. I got these for £4.99 as they look nice and relaxing. I'm now 21 so I don't

    have any wrinkles but I'd like to prevent them for as long as possible and I thought these would be great to use if I'm ever

    feeling tired or haven't had much sleep! I've seen things like these for much more money, so I thought £4.99 was a

    bargain!

    Missguided Kimberley Wool Waterfall Coat in Camel.

    So you know I'm obsessed with the Kardashians. Kim is the reason I purchased this coat. She rocks a long camel coat like

    no other! I want to start dressing a bit more grown up and I think this coat definitely makes me look more serious and

    grown up. Can't wait to start styling it! I got it with 20% off as they had a voucher at the time and I ended up getting this

    for about £50 including shipping.

    H&M Jersey Vests. (Similar Here)

    I'm getting into the habit of working out more, so wanted to stock up on some simple and comfortable pieces to wear. I got

    these 2 vests in H&M for about £3.99 each plus I got 20% off with my friends student discount again, so definitely got a

    good deal there!

    RBX Sports Leggings. (Similar Here)

    I also picked up some work out leggings in TK Maxx. I got them for £14.99 and I really love how they look and fit on me.

    It definitely makes me more motivated to work out when I have cute work out clothes to wear!

What In My Bag?

Hello everyone!

Today I'm going to be doing my first 'What's in my bag' post. Every girl loves a good nose around

and see what other girls carry around with them. Mine's not really interesting (not to me anyway!)

but I hope you enjoy it!

Zara Bag Similar Here

I got this bag in April for my birthday and I love it. It's goes with everything. You can hold the smaller

straps on your arms or use the longer strap to wear on your shoulder and you can fit a decent amount of

stuff in here!

TK Maxx Purse - Similar Here

This purse was an abolsutely bargain! I just needed something simple and cheap with a lot of card space!

It was £5 in TK Maxx on sale. That's pretty damn good if you ask me!

H&M Butterfly Coin Purse

I usually keep this in my bag with change in it for parking as I don't like loads of change in my purse.

That's the joys of having a car!

Nivea Pearl Beauty Gentle Care 48h Anti Perspirant Deodorant

I always carry my deodorant around with me just incase! I've been using this one from Nivea but recently

I picked up the stick form of Mitchum and I prefer it so much more!

Boots Extracts Vanilla Body Spray

I always like to carry some sort of perfume or body spray with me just to make sure I'm smelling nice all day long!

Topshop Lip Paint in Reminisce

Sometimes I'll stick a lipgloss or balm in my bag just to gives my lips a bit of colour.

Ibuprofen Tablets

I try my best not to take any pain killers if I can help it, but if I've ever got a migraine or it's that time of

the month, these are life saviours!

Water

You should always keep hydrated!

Chewing Gum

It's always good to carry some with you, just incase!

Keys

I can't drive or get in my house without them..

August Favourites

Hey guys!

I can't believe we're going to be in September next week. Although I'm kind of glad as I quite I'm

looking forward to Autumn and Winter (not the rain though!)

Anyway, here's all the products I've been loving through the month of August.

Enjoy!

Journal

I found this Journal in TK Maxx. I can't find it anywhere online but I've linked where it's originally from, they

have some similar stuff on their website. I just really liked this and thought it would be a great note book to

write all my blogging stuff in. Also I just love the inspirational words on the front of it. It's a nice little reminder

whenever I write in it.

Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin Foundation in Ivory

I did a review on this foundation in my last post and if you read it, you'd know I really liked it. It's the only

foundation I've used this whole month as I really love it. So inexpensive and gives a great dewy finish.

Definitely recommend giving it a go!

Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Essential Mattes

So, my local Superdrug just added this new brand in store and I was pretty much like a kid in a candy store

when I first saw it. I just wanted to pick up everything and try just, especially as it's all so affordable!

I'm going back to try out more things and will probably be doing a few reviews on them soon. So far, everything

I've tried from here, I love! This palette was only £4! I decided to get the matte palette as I don;t wear many

bright colours on my eyes and I just wanted a simple palette of their to try out first. This palette is great for the

price you pay. The eye shadow isn't the best pigment ever, but it's still pretty damn good and if I put on an eye

primer then it'll stay all day but if not, it'll fade throughout the day. So as long as you use a primer this palette is

great. I'll be going back to get more!

Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer in Light

I also did a review on this concealer in my recent post as well and I literally love this stuff. It's just a great under

 eye concealer. As you can see I've used it to death the past month. It's so creamy and glides on so smoothly. I

 apply it with my Real Techniques blending sponge and gives a flawless finish.

Soap &Glory Dr Spot Super Strength Breakout Clearing Gel

I've been trying out different skincare products recently and after using up all my regular Clean & Clear spot

 treatment gel I use, I bought this as I really like Soap & Glory's skincare range. I really like this spot treatment.

 It reduces the size of the spot quite a lot over night. It doesn't completely get rid of it but it makes it look a lot less noticeable.

Topshop Lip Paint in Reminisce

I have only ever bought a few things from the Topshop make-up range and I always forget how much I like

 their products. These lip paints are so pigmented and aren't sticky at all. I really love this colour, it's so natural

 and it's definitely a 'your lips but better' colour! I always pop this on when I want to add a bit of colour.

Makeup Revolution #happylips in Love Nude

I'm really falling in love with this brand of make-up and this lipstick is such a great idea. It's basically a normal

 lipstick but with Argan Oil on the outside of it. It give my lips so much hydration with a great colour. Plus, these

 lipstick are only £3! I mean, come on. That's just such a deal I cannot pass up!

H&M Coin Purse

Since driving, I annoyingly have to pay for parking pretty much anywhere I go and I like to be organised and

 prepared so I make sure I have tons of change all the time and having it all in my purse just makes it so heavy

 so I wanted to invest in a cute little coin purse that I could just stick in my handbag. I found this one in H&M

 and I really love it. It was £9.99, which I thought was pretty good! I can't find the exact one online so try looking

 in store for it. I have linked one that has a similar look to it though.

Collective Haul

Hey guys! Hope you've all had a lovely Easter. Today, I'm doing a collective

haul because apparently I can't seem to stop spending my money.. On the upside,

it was my birthday last Thursday and I got a lot of lovely gifts which I will

do a post on soon! 

Matalan Renaissance Style Framed Mirror.

I'm slowly re-decorating my room and one thing I really wanted was a mirror to go on my desk. I didn't

want anything too big or fancy, just something that fits on it nicely and didn't cost too much. I came

across this one from Matalan as I had a 20% off voucher at the time which put it down to £20 from

£25 so I was definitely please about that! It goes so nicely with the décor of my room and fits

perfectly on my desk.

Rimmel 60 Seconds Rita Ora Nail Polish in Lose Your Lingerie, Pillow Talk & Breakfast in Bed.

I really wanted some pastel nail polishes for the Spring/Summer and as soon as I saw the advert for

these I was in Boots checking out the whole collection. The whole of it is lovely but what I really

wanted and love is the lighter, pastel shades. They're so beautiful! I've had Rimmel 60 Second nail

polishes before and they don't exactly dry in 60 seconds, but they do dry a lot quicker than most

nail polishes, so I can get past that!

Herbal Essences Classic Silk n Shine Shampoo & Conditioner.

I needed some more shampoo and conditioner and I do love this one. It's cheap and smells amazing!

And let's face it, who doesn't love the original Herbal Essences?!

Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer in Light.

My usual concealer. You know I love it! I literally buy one every time I go into Boots/Superdrug

because I'm afraid of running out!

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation in Shell.

This is also a product I already use on a daily basis. It's not the cheapest, but you girls know

how hard it is to find a good foundation that is actually your shade.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Pink in the Afternoon & Fire & Ice.

I love Revlon Lipsticks. They're just amazing shades and so pigmented! Pink in the Afternoon is

just a pretty pinkish nude shade, which is what I've been looking for because they're so easy to

wear and just pop on. The colour I'm really excited about though, is Fire & Ice. I'm a big fan of red

lipsticks and I'm actually starting to gather a little collection of them. It's a bright red, which is

perfect for Spring/Summer. I actually think this is my new favourite lipstick shade, can't believe

I didn't find it sooner!

Topshop Lipstick in Petal.

Another nude lipstick I picked up recently was this one from Topshop. I'm not a massive fan of nude

lipsticks on myself but I do like this one. I have to be quite picky with nude lipsticks as I've got quite

light skin already, so most nudes on me just look like that thing everyone use to do in school, where

they put foundation on their lips as well, so your lips just blended in with your face. Not very flattering.

But yeah, I like this one! It has a bit of a pinkish tone to it and is very creamy.

H&M Sports Bra in Grey.

So, I don't really work out. I just keep buying more work out things in hopes that it'll motivate me

to work out. So far, there's been no working out but now Summer is coming, I don't think I have a

choice! I thought this sports bra was such a lovely colour and I've got tons of H&M workout

clothes and it's all so comfortable and stylish at such a good price. Now I need to start working out..

Topshop Vicscose V Neck Tee in White & Grey.

Everyone should have good basic tee's in their wardrobe. Men or women. I love a good basic white

tee but after one wash they just aren't the same. Recently I got told that Topshop basic Tee's are

very good quality and don't shrink like the rest of mind have, so I've purchased a few v-necks which

are so comfy and flattering. Now I just need to test them out in the wash and hope they don't shrink.

I'll be stocking up if they don't! Will keep you updated!

TK Maxx Acrylic Lipstick Holder (Similar Here).

I already have one of these but seeing as I'm building up my lipstick collection I just thought,

'why not get another one?' So I did! It's around £7 in TK Maxx but you can get them on places like

Amazon and Ebay. Just a very pretty way to display all of you favourite lipsticks.

Lush Mask of Maganaminty 125g.

Love love love this face mask. I just ran out of it so I picked up some more because it's so amazing!

It's just the perfect mask for when you're skin is acting up and your breaking out. Plus, I got told by

the guy in Lush that soon they're bringing out a new one but it's going to have more honey in it,

so it won't be as drying on the face, yay! Not sure when though, It's might even already be out. Not sure.

I definitely want it though!

Frozen DVD.

Everyone's seen Frozen right? If not, why?! It's so good and so funny an the songs are so damn catchy.

Thanks for reading!

Collective Haul

Hey guys!

So the past few weeks I've done quite a bit of shopping, as you can see. The funny thing is I still

have a list full of things I need to get and yes, I need it all! So yeah, here's what I got..

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Sultry Samba

This colour is perfect for spring! As soon as I saw it I was like, 'yup, gotta have it!'. It is a bit daring, but

I'm slowly becoming more brave with my lipstick choices. I think it's a new shade they brought out for spring

along with a coral shade but I'm not sure so don't take my word on it. But it's gorgeous!

Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in Unapologetic

I'm falling in love with these Colorburst Balms from Revlon so much. I've got 2 already and I think

they're so pretty and the colours are perfect for spring/summer. This particular one is a matte and is a

pink/coral shade. Another perfect shade for spring. It's very opaque and not drying on the lips at all.

Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balm in Vivacious

This one is a lacquer instead of a matte so has a nice shine to it. It's kind of berry pink shade,

(I'm awful at explaining colours, can you tell?) as I prefer pink and red colours on the lips for me.

Again, it's very opaque and very pretty. It isn't too daring and very easy to tone down to just give

your lips a nice pink tint.

Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balm in Whimsical

Just the name of this one made me want to buy it. It's such a pretty name and a pretty colour to go

with it! It's more of a purple berry colour. It's opaque again, pretty much all of them are, but very easy to

tone down if you prefer.

Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser

So apparently this is quite popular. I mean, I managed to nab the last one in Boots! I wasn't too fussed

about this as first as I don't really wear primers but this one seemed to be so popular and forever out

of stock at Boots, I thought it must be amazing! I'm yet to find out but you'll soon find out if it's made

a big impact on me or not!

Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara in Medium Brown

I only just recently heard of this an I was never one for brow mascara's, but throughout the

day I've noticed my eyebrows can tend fall down and end up pointing downwards, which is very annoying.

I just wanted something they made them stay put and after using this twice, I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Make's them looks thicker and fuller and keeps them in place all day.

Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm in Pink Punch

As it was 3 for 2 on Maybelline, I thought I'd pick up one of these, as my last one has just ran out and

I really like them just for everyday use. This one just gives the slightest pink tint to your lips, which I

really love in lip balms. Not the best lip moisturiser but nice for popping on when you're out and about.

Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer in Fair

This was just a top up as my last one ran out. Love this concealer so much! So easy to blend and just

really lovely and creamy.

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

I've spoke about using the Cosmo blending sponge before on my blog and that I use it everyday and love it.

I still do, but I really wanted to try the Real Techniques one also as I love the brand so much and it's the same

price as the Cosmo so, why not, right? I've used it once so far and it's really lovely. It blends just as well as the

Cosmo one, if not better. So far, I like it!

No7 Beautiful Skin Hot Cloth Cleanser

Another one of my usual products I just needed to get another one. I really love this cleanser and don't have

a bad word to say about it. It's for all skin types and works really nicely with my Clarisonic.

Aveeno Skin Relief Lotion

Another one of my usual products I use. I just needed a new one. In one of my previous posts I told

you how much I love this moisturiser. It really is great if you have dry skin!

Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

I really wanted a face oil which had hardly any ingredients, was organic, contained rosehip and was

inexpensive. That''s exactly what I got with this! I've only used it once so can't judge it on that alone but I

am excited to use it more and see if there's any difference. Especially as I have some scars on my face from

blemishes. It's got really great reviews so fingers crossed!

Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo & Conditioner

I needed some shampoo and conditioner and if you've read my blog, you'll know I love Aussie products!

It's definitely my favourite hair product of all time. I usually either go for the 'Luscious Long' range or

this one. Everything smells amazing and makes me hair feel so lovely and keeps it in the best condition!

Seven Seas Orange Syrup and Cod Liver Oil

I use to have a spoonful of cod liver oil everyday when I was younger as I had a problem with getting

cysts in my eyes quite badly. It tasted vile and made me feel so sick but I know it was good for me. I

really wanted to get back into it as I know it's so beneficial, but I wanted one that had a different taste.

I came across this one which tastes just like orange flavoured cough syrup!

H&M Brown Loafers

I really love the look of loafers and moccasins. They just quite laid back and easy to put with casual outfits.

I found these in H&M for £14.99, which is a bargain! Really pretty and go with so many things. Only

thing is they aren't the most comfortable. I've had to wear plasters with them until I've worn them in properly.

H&M Floral Kimono

When I saw this Kimono in H&M, I really wanted it and now after getting it I want more. They're

so pretty and laid back. They're really nice to layer over tank's and pair with some jeans for the spring/summer. 

TK Maxx Acrylic Lipstick Organiser (Similar here)

This was just something I wanted to store my lipsticks and just so happened to come across this one in

TK Maxx. They usually have a lot of acrylic stationary bits to store your make-up in, and they're very inexpensive.

TK Maxx Wish List Notepad (Found Here)

This was just a cute little notepad I found in there. It was only like £2.99 I think. I'm forever writing lists

or things I want so thought this would be perfect for that!

TK Maxx Shabby Chic Tray (Similar Here)
I saw this tray so long ago in TK Maxx and wanted it so badly, but it was around £15 and I just thought
I could get one somewhere else for less. Then, the other day I went in TK Maxx and I saw it was on
sale for £7 so I didn't even hesitate and just bought it! It's so gorgeous and I love the shabby chic look of it.

TK Maxx Swivel Pen Holder (Couldn't find anything similar)
I saw something similar to this in TK Maxx not long ago but it was a bit small, and my make-up brush
collection is only getting bigger! I love this because it's compartments are quite large and I love the fact it
swivel so it's easy access to my brushes. It a slight off grey colour which, I don't mind as I can always very
easily paint it white in the future.
