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!

Interior Inspiration

Hello everyone! Hope you're all well.

Today I wanted to do a different kind of post. I love interior design and love decorating

so, I wanted to help give a little inspiration for anyone else who needs it.

Hope you enjoy!

Notepads - TK Maxx

I collect notebooks, especially white and hold ones. I love

the simplicity of them and the quotes on them are so inspiring.

Bon Bon Jar - TK Maxx

Vase with Gold Rim - Wilkinsons

I love storing my make-up brushes and sponges in jars and vases.

You can see them better and also look so pretty sat on your desk.

Drawers - Muji

Candle - Sainsburys

I store the majority of my make-up in these Muji drawers as I like seeing my make-up on display.

I also love having inspirational books sat on my desk so it reminds me to work out more and eat better.

Initial S Glass - Matalan

I found this really lovely glass in Matalan with my initial.I thought it

would be pretty to store a few of my nicer make-up brushes in there.

Initial S Pillows - Matalan

Chevron Pillows - Primark

I always wanted pillows with my initial on them. I think it looks so simple

yet so pretty. I love having white bedding with just a little bit of colour.

November Favourites

Hello everyone!

Today I'm doing my November Favourites which I'm so exciting about because that means it's now December

and that means it's almost Christmas! I don't have tons of beauty favourites so I've added in a few non beauty

favourites of mine this month to make it more interesting.

Enjoy!

Primark Khaki Knit Jumper

I'm quite fussy when it comes to jumpers as they can make you look quite frumpy or they itch and just find it hard

to find a decent one that's inexpensive as well. This one from Primark fits really nicely and is one of my favourite

colours (khaki) and was only £10!

Boots Tea Tree Witch Hazel Exfoliating Face Scrub

This is my new favourite exfoliator! I've been looking for a good one for a while now and after seeing quite good

reviews of this brand in Boots, I though I'd try out a few things from the range. This does the job perfectly and

leaves me skin feeling incredibly smooth and it also helps fight against any blemishes.

Boots Tea Tree Witch Hazel Body Scrub

On the subject of exfoliator and scrubs I wanted one for my body also and this one is very similar to the face

scrub so does just as good of a job. It especially helps if you have Keratosis Pilaris.

Boots Tea Tree Witch Hazel Peel Off Face Mask

I'm a massive fan of face masks. It's the perfect way to relax! Preferably just after a long hot shower with a

cup of tea in hand! ;) This one I got because I thought it was easier as it's a peel off one and it's easier to travel

with them also as they are little throw away sachets. It feels really nice of the skin and it really helps bring down

any blemishes you have.

Tangle Teezer

I have wanted one of these for like.. ever! Seriously. I feel like I'm the last person to get one yet I have the

knottiest longest hair. I've been so desperate for one of these but couldn't really justify spending over £10 on

it after getting my other 'essentials' in Boots every other weekend.. But I finally caved in and got one and I

wish I had sooner. It just makes life so much easier. My hair is long and quite thick and I find it get knotted

a lot underneath and it's such a pain to try and sort it out. With this it' just makes my hair easier to maintain. Plus

it's really compact and pretty!

Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder

I've have this bronzer for god knows how long and it's still going! Since it's winter and I'm looking a little pale

these days, I prefer to add a bit of bronzer on my face to make me looking a bit more alive! This is always my

favourite go to bronzer because it's so natural looking and matte and is very easy to blend.

Pret A Porter A5 Notebook

I found myself collecting a lot of notebooks recently.. I always am writing lists or just writing things down in

general and for my blog as well. I like to write things down as I feel more organised and I don't really like

boring old simple notepads. I find it nicer if I have something like this with a nice pattern on my desk as it's

almost like a bit of decoration on my desk as well.

TK Maxx Notebook

These two notebook's are also just to write things down in if I ever need to. I picked them up thought more so

for the quotes on the front. I love little positive quotes like this. It's just nice to read it ever once in a while. both

these quotes are from Jane Austen.

Quotes: 'We have all a better guide in ourselves... than any other person can be' - Jane Austen

'There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.' - Jane Austen

Homeware Haul

Hey everyone!

I don't think I've ever done a homeware haul before, even though I'm forever buying things for my room!

I've only got a few things here that I've bought in the past month or so but I get so excited and wanted to

show you the bits I got. Plus I'm sure they will be more soon enough!

Pillow - Primark 

Similar Here/Here
I like my bedding to be quite simple so its all white. I wanted to add a very small bit of colour and needed
some extra pillows anyway and thought these would go perfectly. Plus, there were only £5 each!

Small Vase - TK Maxx

Similar Here
I got this small vase/candle holder so I could use it for all my smaller make up brushes.

Lamp - Wilko

Here
I got two of these for each side and I like very simple, light colours in my room. My bedding and furniture is all
white, my walls are an pearl/ivory colour. (The paint colour was called Ivory Tusk and I got it from Wilkinson's.)
I like the bits in my room to either be white/cream/gold colours.

Large Vase W/ Gold Rim

Similar Here
I got two of these from Wilkinsons. I can't find a link for them on their website and I literally grabbed the last two
so I don't know whether they do them anymore :( They looked so beautiful though and I'm doing up my make-up
storage and want it to look very simple and elegant. I got one either side of my mirror on my desk and will be
using them as brush holders for my bigger make-up brushes.

Photo Frame - Asda
Here (but mine is in 6x4)
I have a photo of me and one of my nephews from the day they were both born and really just wanted a frame.
I love this style, I have another one very similar and this only cost me £4! Bargain.

(There side table isn't part of this but it's from Ikea for anyone wondering.)

May Favourites

Hey guys!

So it's been a while since I last posted but I'm back with my May favourites.

I haven't really been shopping much recently so I don't have a ton of favourites. But

I have however been de-cluttering recently which has made me rediscover some old favourites of mine!

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Sultry Samba

I never use to really be into bright lipsticks but over time I've grown to love them a lot. There's so

many amazing colours to experiment with and even if you have the most boring, plain make-up on,

put on a bright lip and it changes the whole look. Revlon lipsticks are my favourite. They have great

pigmentation, great colour range and they're so inexpensive and usually have 3 for 2 in Boots or Superdrug!
(Couldn't get a good swatch of it that did the colour any justice.
Definitely go and check it out though if you get the chance!)

Origins Super Spot Remover Blemish Treatment Gel

If you read my blog you may have seen that I really love my Clean & Clear spot treatment gel. I still do,

I just rediscovered this beauty. I completely forgot I had It. I use to use it all the time. It's really amazing

and really reduces the redness and dried out any spot in just a few days. It is a bit more pricey than the

Clean & Clear one at £14. I got mine about a year or so ago and I'm almost sure it was only £10-£11 back then.

Anyway, I'm looking to try out the Mario Badescu range as  I hear nothing but good things about it.

I'll definitely be reviewing it on here if I do! 

Lush Ocean Salt 120g

You can honestly never go wrong with a Lush product. They're so on top on their game and they're

products are always spot on. I've never found an exfoliator that I even slightly liked until this one. It really

is so amazing. It smells like the beach to me, with the salty water and everything and who doesn't love that?

I have quite dry skin so when I first went to use it I was a bit hesitant just because I thought it might dry

out my skin even more but it did the opposite. It has avocado butter in it which keeps my skin soft and smooth.

Dove Summer Glow Nourishing Lotion (Fair to Medium Skin)

I've never been one to fake tan or anything but, I don't mind using gradual tan products as I feel like they're

not as big of a commitment. I saw that Anna Saccone used this and I thought I'd give it a try because her

skin always looks so good and has such a beautiful glow. I'm quite pasty I'd say so I got fair-medium.

So far I really love it. It's easy to apply and quick to dry and gives you a lovely glowing tan.

Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder

Since the weather is getting a little bit nicer, I though I'd whack out the bronzer to give my pasty face a

bit more colour! I know this one is quite expensive but a little bit goes a long way with this. It's matte so

there's no shimmer which I love. It's easy to blend and on more pale people, like myself, it is hard to get

bronzer's to look natural on the skin. This one looks very natural on the skin and is great for contouring as well.

Primark Heeled Sandals

I'm a bit late on the heeled sandal trend but hey. I've wanted some for quite a while now. They're just so classic

looking and can be dressed up or down, which I love. Plus these ones were only £12 from Primark.. Bargain!
