Autumn Leaves

As summer comes to an end, and autumn starts to show its leaves, my wardrobe insanity comes to an end. Say goodbye to the super bright colours. Goodbye to the crazy prints. And goodbye to the ‘leaving the house without a jacket’ moments.

My wardrobe has officially become boring again. However… don’t you fear I have a new fashion obsession to share today!!!! Et voila! Here it is!

 This time I was inspired by the colour leaves turn as they leave their green state; a lovely burgundy/orangey colour; the colour of fire, love and dark secrets. And so this mood board was born.

As you can see the overall outfit looks sexy but tough at the same time. You can wear it in the morning to college/work/interview stuff, then swap the sneakers for some hot heels and open up the jacket to reveal the lovely see through chiffon for a sexier, edgier evening look.

The makeup that you wear with this look would also determine the overall feel and persona you give off to people; for the day I would keep it natural with some foundation and gloss, but later on in the day I would apply some black eyeliner and generous amounts of mascara, followed by some deep red/burgundy lipstick.

Personally I would only wear this outfit if I had something going on in the evening and had no time to go home and change.  If I wanted to make the look more casual I would instead swap the dress for some black jeans and a cute panda shirt! naww pandas!

The dress I chose was from HM (Dress with chiffon details), the jacket you can find practically anywhere, (I found this gorgeous one just last week in a market! woop for bargain buys!), the bag from Deichman and the shoes from All-star.

So what has been your fashion obsession lately? would you ever wear this outfit?

APRIL FAVOURITES!!

 Wow April has really gone by fast (and I’m not saying that because I’m pretending to be older and wiser, but because it actually has!). April represents so many wonderful things, like the sun and being able to walk out of the house without a jacket, at last!

For my favourites this month I only have some small bits and bob which you can find anywhere on the high street, and nothing too fancy. The first product is something I don’t actually own YET but I’m planning to get very soon. It’s this AMAZING Barry M nail polish in papaya, which is the perfect pastel-peachy-nude colour for the summer/April/jacketless weather!

The next thing is this ‘forever living’ lip balm which I am ADDICTED to right now. It has the most amazing consistency ever and last for the whole day, unless you lick it off (obviously). These are quiet hard to get by, but I’m sure you can order them online with the rest of their amazing products.

The last two products I’ll talk about in this post is the ‘simple’ toner and light moisturizer, which I use every day (and have been using for the last year and a half, I think!). They are truly the most amazing lightweight face products I have EVER used. They are amazing for tweens and teens that are just starting to form a daily face care routine and want something light, effective and easy to apply. The consistencies are amazing and the products contain no perfume, no colour and no harsh chemicals so it doesn’t harm the skin and makes it great for those with sensitive skin. They are also enriched with vitamin B5 (which restores, soften and soothes skin), chamomile, witch hazel (which tightens and closes pores) and allantoin (which soften and protects). Amazing huh?

Thanks for reading guys! Any favourites you want to rave about?Xxx

Product review!

Product Review!!

Recently I went out to the high street and purchased a couple of things I’d wanted to try out for a while. Most of the products were cheap and affordable.

The first thing I bought was the MUA lipstick, shade 4. It’s a pity these products don’t have names as the quality of this lipstick is amazing. It’s so creamy and well pigmented, that I sometimes find myself forgetting to apply lip balm beforehand. It’s also extremely affordable costing only £1.00! This particular shade is a soft peach colour that would suit many skin tones and is a perfect spring colour too!

Another product I bought is the maybelline collosal volume mascara, which I bought for £7.19 from superdrug. I like this mascara but its nothing I would rave about. I regret not buying the water proof version as this easily smudges if you get into any contact with water. Apart from that though its good for extra volume and to make your lashes look fuller and longer. Its also fairly clump free and the packaging is cute!

I also got the new amazing Barry M nail gelly effect varnish, which I’ve been wanting for ages now! I got it in green berry, which is a lovely mint green, perfect for spring/summer, because it looks like the sea! I put it on not too soon and it did last for quite a while (5 days) without chipping or peeling, considering I had no top coat on! However if I did have top coat on it would have probably lasted for longer than 12 days!

The last product I will be talking about is the MUA cream blush in bittersweet, which looks super florecent pink in the packaging but is more of a soft pink on application! Usually cream blusher can be doubled up as a lipstain too, but I wouldn’t recommend that when using this certain product. It can look really dried and cheap on the lip.

And that’s the lot! Thanks for reading!

Have you owned any of these products? And what did you think?
