suggestions please?

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I've been so busy.

Tomorrow I'm going on a trip to camden/covent garden, whilst there I will be visiting the MAC store, I would just like to know any recommendations on what I should get and what you think is good. Leave it in the comments and any reviews to any products as well would be great, thank you!

top current fashion trends

Monochrome:

This has always been a huge fashion trend which I don't think will ever fade. It's so easy to wear and it gives an outfit quite a classy look and it's been seen all over the latest fashion shows and the hottest celebs.













Body Chains:


These are such a beautiful piece of jewellery and really help to turn a plain outfit into something else. Wearing this with a crop top and high-waisted jeans would look amazing. Celebs such as Kylie Jenner have been seen wearing these lately and they are available in pretty much any shop whether it be high end or high street.










Pastels:

Pastels always come back into fashion this time of year when spring is approaching and this year will be no different. Pastels are being seen all over the fashion shows lately and are everywhere in the shops. This is such a lovely trend with such a wide range of colours and designs everywhere to suit everyone too.

style icon


Kylie has been an idol of mine for quite a while now, which makes me feel silly seeing as she is 2 years younger than me. She is beautiful and her style is by far the best. She has such a casual and 'punky' (that's not even a word but oh well) style but loves to spice it up a little bit by throwing on a pair of heels every now and then.

I will post a couple of 'get the look' posts soon, most likely including Kylie on there. I just wanted to make a quick post today because seeing as it's half term I'm trying to be as active as possible!

Be sure to follow for more fashion and beauty posts.

Who is your style icon?

high end wishlist

So the other day I posted my current 'drugstore' wishlist, so now I thought I would do a 'follow up' type post and share with you my 'high end' makeup wishlist too.



1. NARS 'Laguna' bronzing powder - £26
I have heard such amazing reviews about this products but have never got round to trying it simply because of the very high price of it. I am currently saving up and I plan of splurging out on this soon.

2. MAC 'Rebel' lipstick - £15
MAC lipsticks are raved about all over the beauty industry and because I don't live near a MAC store I haven't yet got round to picking one up, but I have been eyeing up the lipstick in the shade 'Rebel' which is a dark purple colour and will be picking it up on my trip to london in a couple of weeks, which means a review will be coming soon too!

3. Benefit 'HOOLA' bronzer - £23.50
Yet again, another bronzer, oh well.

4. Urban Decay Naked palettes - £37 each
Now I'm pretty sure EVERYONE has heard of these and need them as much as I do in my life. All of the colours in every palette are beautiful and the packaging is so pretty looking. This has been on my wishlist for quite some time now and I really need to turn the dream of owning these products into a reality.

drugstore wishlist

1. The L'oreal True Match foundation. £9.99
I have heard so many good reviews on this foundation and I have been using the same foundation for ages now so when the ones I have now begin to run out I should for sure be purchasing this one and trying it out for myself!

2. Batiste dry shampoo. £2.99
Now I have never been one to use dry shampoos but lately being so busy I've been tempted to purchase one and try it out in case I don't have time to wash my hair!

3. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. £4.99
I have tried out the L'oreal Skin Perfection and now I would love to try out this one just to be able to compare the two and find out my favourite out of them both.

4. Rimmel Scandal'Eyes Kohl Eyeliner. £2.99 - £3.99
This is a random one, basically I haven't purchased a new eyeliner in a while and I need too. So yeah, this ones boring, oops sorry.

5. Sleek 'Blush by 3'. £9.99
I have heard such amazing reviews on all of the Sleek blushers and really need to try some out for myself. They have the most beautiful colour range and I can't wait to purchase one of these products sometime soon.

Latest beauty buys

First of all I would like to apologise for the lack of posts this week. I had a lot of college work to catch up on as well as going to my part time job. I will be posting more from now on I promise. Anyway, for today's post I decided to just show you my latest buys, it's only two products but oh well.


My first buy was the 'must have' concealer by Collection. The 'Lasting Perfection' concealer has been raved about on many blogs and I have always wanted to pick it up but they never had my shade in store until the other day. Now I see what all the hype is about and I love it a lot already.





Next is the 'Super liner' by L'oreal. Now I didn't want to buy this but I had a disaster where my eyeliner exploded all in my make up bag for some reason, so I had no choice but to buy a new one. I thought I would go for a different one to the Rimmel 'Glam Eyes', so I picked this one. I shall do a review on this product in a few days/weeks when I have had more of a chance to try it out.


That is all for this post, please follow to see more beauty/fashion related posts and leave comments telling me what your favourite eyeliner is as I also want to buy some more. Thank you for reading.

L'oreal Skin Perfection | Review

Now I'm sure most of you have heard of the 'L'oreal Skin Perfection' Micellar water. I just thought I would do a quick review on it considering that I have been using it for the past month or so now.

Now this is what the product looks like, most drugstores sell it too. I received this as a little gift for Christmas, otherwise I probably wouldn't have tried it to be honest.

I find that when pouring it onto a cotton pad there is a lot of waste and way too much comes out. It does an excellent job at removing makeup though! One swipe and pretty much all of my makeup is taken off.

The first week when I started trying it I found that I came out in a few spots, but I believe this was because I have never used a product like this before and my skin is quite sensitive.

I would recommend it though! I believe it's a good thing to try out and it doesn't cost too much.

January Favourites

This is my very first favourites post since I started my blog, so I thought I would share with you what I have been loving over this past month.


Hair and Beauty.


The first thing I have been loving this month is the L'oreal studio 'Matt and Messy' salt spray. This has been a product I purchase over and over again anyway. It gives such a nice textured look to your hair without weighing it down and making it look greasy like I found other salt sprays do. It is only £3.75 in drugstores and the bottle lasts ages. Recommend picking this up and giving it a try!

I feel a theme coming along here, my next product is the L'oreal 'Triple Active Day' moisturiser. I got this a gift for Christmas and I have been using it every day and night since. I love it. It really helps to keep my skin looking healthy and has not made me break out at all which I normally do when I find new products. It is normally £6.49, but boots are doing it for £4.33 so go pick it up whilst the offer is on! You will not be disappointed.

Next is the best foundation I have ever bought in my life. Oh I love it. It is the MAC 'Matchmaster' foundation. I got mine in the shade 1.5, but I could've done with a shade lighter, but that's fine. It blends perfectly into my skin and adapts to my skin tone as well. It is a full coverage and the tiniest blob of it goes a long way. If you've never tried a high end foundation but want to, I suggest this one. It retails for £27, which I know is expensive but as I said a little blob goes a long way and you won't be needing to repurchase anytime soon! Click here to read my full review.

My favourite lip product this month has been the Topshop lipstick in the shade 'Inhibition' I included it in my 'whats in my makeup bag' post. It is the most beautiful dark purple shade. It looks so nice on any skin tone and lasts pretty much all day. It sells in most Topshop stores for £8.

And finally for the beauty favourites of the month is the L'oreal 'Miss Manga' mascara. This was only recently bought out in the UK and many shops had it on offer, so I thought I'd go and pick up one (or maybe 3). This is the best mascara I have tried, yes, it beats the 'They're real' by Benefit in my opinion. It is only £8.99 which I think is amazing. It adds so much length and volume and really opens your eyes up. Click here to read my full review.

Fashion.


Now my last blog post was on these boots so I won't speak a lot about them. These have been my favourite shoes since before I even got them! They are so comfortable to walk in and they just make a plain outfit more interesting. Here is a link to my last blog post on them.

Random Favourites.


Anyone that knows me will know how much I love PLL, and the wait between the Halloween episode until this month has been agonizing for me. Now January saw the premiere of the rest of season 4, and it has got pretty intense. I am from England so unfortunately I have to watch it online the day after. I recommend this show to everyone (maybe not boys because it is pretty girly), I have been addicted since the first episode. It's just the best.


Lastly is my newest yankee candle. Now I adore these candles as I know a lot of people do. My favourite scent this month has been 'Lavender Spa'. It's lovely, and makes my whole room smell beautiful! Worth picking any of these up as they are honestly my favourite candles.

That is all of my favourites for this month. Thank you for reading, be sure to follow for more fashion and beauty posts! Comment below and let me know what your favourites are this month!
