Spring Blushes

Last season, I did a post on my Winter Blushes, so it's only fair that I do a post for Spring. I only just realised that some one of the blushes in that post is in this post as well - oops! There are also some cream blushes in this post as they are perfect for Spring!

Benefit Fine One One Blush Trio // full review Here
I absolutely love this blush. It is amazing and such a unique product! It is in a stick form and has three shades, an orange, coral pink and a shimmer highlight. As it is Benefit, it is slightly more expensive than the other products, but I think this is one of those products where you really do get what you are paying for because the products is so impressive! You simply swipe this across your cheeks and blend, it blends easily and gives your cheeks a natural flush of colour. Talking about 'flush' that leads on to the next product!

Topshop Cream Blush in 'Flush' // full review Here
I think this has to be my favourite out of all of the blushes in this post, purely because this blush is such a stunning shade and the formula is incredible. You can read the post I have done on it before for more detail, but it is a cream to powder finish so it lasts quite a long time. It blends and applies like a dream and I can't even explain how beautiful the colour is. If you haven't tried any of the Topshop Cream Blushes then what are you waiting for?!

Sleek Blush in 'Pixie Pink'
Unlike the other blushes in this post, this Sleek blush is a powder blush. It may look very vibrant and bold, but it does come out very natural once on the cheeks. It's such a pretty pink which is perfect for Spring because to me, Spring is all about pink. When people ask me what drugstore blushes I would recommend, I always say Sleek because they have a range of shades which are all stunning.

What are your favourite blushes for spring?

March Favourites

As it is the end of March (already?) it is time for my March Favourites! I didn't do a Favourites for last month, so a few of these things are also favourites from last month as well.

Beauty

A couple of weeks ago I picked up a new Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in the lightest shade, I used to have Shade 2 but I realised that it was a bit too dark for me. So now that I have it in the correct shade for me, I've been using it a lot more. You have probably heard lots about this concealer, but it is very affordable and is very high coverage.

In my Top Pink Products for Spring post, I mentioned the Topshop Cream Blush in Flush. As this blush is so appropiate for spring, I have been using it a lot recently seeing as it is now officially spring. I have a post all about it here.

A new favourite of mine is the L'Oreal Colour Riche Eyeliner in 120 Immaculate Snow. This white eyeliner is perfect to put on your water line to brighten up the eyes. It is so creamy and pigmented which makes it so easy to apply.

I have re-fallen in love with the Real Techniques Stippling Brush. I used to use it a lot for blush, but throughout this month I have used it for applying foundation or concealer. It blends it in so smoothly and evenly and doesn't apply the foundation too heavilly. It leaves the skin feeling like skin which I really like as sometimes different brushes can make the foundation feel heavy on the skin, but this brush doesn't do that.

I think I've saved the best till last. It is my MAC Lipstick in Patisserie. I have had this lipstick since last summer and although I don't wear it very often, this month I have used it a bit more than usual because it is such a pretty shade! It is a lustre finish so it does apply a bit more sheer but it leaves a nice glossy finish. Patisserie is the perfect everyday nude, it is basically a pinky brown shade but looks so natural!

Non-Beauty

I am going to see Insurgent in the cinema in a few days, so I wanted to read the book before I watched the film. So you may have guessed that the Insurgent Book is my favourite for this month, although I haven't actually finished it yet, it is very good so far! 

Autumn Wishlist #FallintoAutumn

Today I have another post in the FallintoAutumn series I am doing with Fran, you can visit her blog here! This post is an autumn wishlist! There are so many things I want this autumn, from deep red lispticks to oversized boyfriend coats. What's on your autumn wishlist?

Black Floppy Hat - River Island

Tartan Skirt and Crop Top - American Apparel

Grey Michael Kors Bag

Black Chunky Chealsea Boots - Topshop

M.A.C. Velvet Teddy

Dogtooth Skirt - Topshop

Black Oversized Coat - H&M

Black Chunky Boots - Doc Martins

Black Backpack - Mulberry

Faux Leather Zip Skirt - Topshop

Grey High Neck Crop Top - Topshop

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick 107

Tartan Skirt and Crop Top - Amercian Apparel

Pink Plaid for Autumn - OOTD

It's that time of year where summer has disappeared and it is not acceptable to wear shorts or skirts without tights anymore as it's just too cold! But it's too hot to wear knit sweaters, scarves and coats. This is where transitional clothing pieces come in handy as they are appropriate for the not-yet-winter-but-not-quite-summer times.

I think the skater skirt adds quite a girly touch to the look and paired with the grey high neck top is an outfit I will be reaching for more often. High necks are going to be in this A/W so before they all sell out I would pick up one of these 'rib funnel' tops as they are called on the topshop website. I would've worn this outfit with my leather jacket, but it was far too much black and although black is nice sometimes, I didn't feel like wearing too much of it. So I chose this shirt from A&F and I think it goes quite nicely and adds a splash of colour as well as keeping me warm. Everything I am wearing in this outfit is listed below:

Pink Checked Shirt - Abercrombie & Fitch
Grey High Neck Top - Topshop 
Black Skater Skirt - New Look
Necklace - Primark
Black Chunky Boots - New Look

London Haul - M.A.C, Topshop, Forever 21

Yesterday I took a touristy trip round London looking at the iconic landmarks such as the London Eye, Big Ben and Trafalgar Square. I also was lucky to go to Oxford Street to go shopping and I picked up a few items.

 

Lets start with Selfridges, I've never been to one before so when I walked in I was shocked at how huge and classy it was. Knowing me I went straight to the M.A.C counter and began looking at the lipsticks. I picked out the shade Patisserie because I heard Lily and Anna raving about it and the colour was gorgeous. Perfect for everyday use. Patisserie is a Lustre finish which means it is quite sheer and has a glossy finish. The colour is really natural, a pink warm toned brown which really suits my skin tone.

 

Next is Forever 21, I have been looking for a Leather Jacket for ages, the ones in Topshop were far too expensive and the ones in Primark looked tacky. When I saw the rail of leather jackets for £15 in Forever 21 I was very happy and chuffed! It is a tad big but they didn't have any XS but I think I can work with it. I will get a lot of use out of this! You can find this jacket here.

 

Like Selfridges, I was shocked when I walked into Topshop. I was so used to my small local Topshop, the one in Oxford Street is massive! After looking around for 1 hour, I picked two simple tops. There were so many things I loved I couldn't pick any. I went for a 'Rip Funnel Top' which you can see here . I really like the high neck and material of this and it would be perfect for autumn. I also picked up a 'Long Sleeve Skinny Rib Crop Top' which you can view here . I find the long sleeves and the fitting of this top to be really flattering and its also great for autumn!

 

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this blog post! Bye!

How to Wear : Gingham Skirt

 

One of the latest trends I've been loving has been Gingham patterns. When I saw this skirt in New Look I fell in love and picked it up in the sale for a bargain of £8! I decided to do a post with how I would style it.

I paired it with a white lacey top as I didn't want to wear another pattern that would clash with the bold gingham print. So a lace top is a safer and subtle choice. The bag adds some colour to the outfit and I think it finishes of the look. I just accessorised with a gold necklace that matches the gold detailing on the bag. Put on some bracelets and rings and the outfit is complete!

Skirt - New Look

Top - Gilly Hicks

Bag - Primark

Rings - Miss Selfridge

Necklace - Topshop

I hope you enjoyed this post! I really like doing fashion posts so tell me if you want more! Thanks for reading, bye!

Topshop Blush in Flush

 Hey beauties! Today I am going to review my first Topshop makeup product! It is one of their cream blushes and I have the shade Flush. Firstly I would just like to say how cute the packaging of Topshop makeup is. I love the colour Flush as it's a corally pink, I don't actually own this colour so I thought I might get it.

This blush is a cream to powder finish which means it applies like a cream but has a powder finish. I quite like this as it means it looks more natural but applies and blends easily. It is very creamy at first and it's more of a matte blush. The shade Flush is very pretty and perfect for summer! I like how bright it looks in the packaging but when applied (and blended) it turns out very natural and subtle. I usually apply this with the Real Technique Stippling Blush. 

I really like this blush and I think it looks really pretty once applied and blended on the cheeks. I think it's £7 maybe 6 or 8 I'm not entirely sure but I think that is a decent price. The packaging is so cute as well and the formular is very nice. Overall I really recommend to try out the Topshop blushes, especially the shade Flush. I hope you enjoyed this blog post. Thanks for reading, bye!

Current Fashion Favourites: Monochrome Dresses, Chunky Boots and Sandals

Hey beauties! Today's blog post is a little bit random but I just thought that I'd share with you my current fashion favourites! Recently I have been obsessed with monochrome print dresses especially dogtooth patterns. I have a dogtooth pattern shift dress which I have been struggling to wear as I don't know what to pair it with. So I took a trip on Polyvore for some inspiration and now I have found some amazing shoe ideas to wear it with. I absolutely love chunky boots especially Vagabonds, and I think they would look super cute with the dresses. Vagabonds are a little too expensive for my budget, so I took a look on new look and topshop and found some great alternatives! I love the boots with cleated soles as they look so cute! Not only have I been loving chunky boots but also chunky sandals! I think New Look do some great chunky gladiator sandals and for a great price! I really want to go shoe shopping now ahh! But I might have to wait till my birthday which is in one month! I think the white sandals will look super cute in summer as well! I think dresses and cute chunky shoes are just so pretty and cute and I can't wait to get a pair haha! Anyway I hope you enjoyed this short blog post and if you would like to see some more short blog posts like this then please comment! Thanks for reading and have a nice day! Bye!
