Two Party Season Looks

Christmas is approaching, which means end of year parties, festive get togethers and family meals! I thought I'd share two outfits and two makeup looks with you, continue reading to see what they are and leave me a comment below letting me know which is your favourite!


My first outfit is this dress (https://m.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/scallop-mix-lace-bodycon-dress-5937790) from Topshop, which is £39. I would pair it with these black New Look Heels which were £19.99. This would be perfect for a party, as it's quite dressy.


My second outfit is these black Topshop jeans (£36) and this Topshop bralet (£20), again I have worn this with the New Look heels and it is a stunning combination! Let's be honest, you can't beat Topshop jeans, and this top is so gorgeous!


My first makeup look is a smokey eye and a nude lip. My personal choices would be the Urban Decay Naked 1, £38.50 and MAC’s Velvet Teddy, £15. I would use the darker black and grey shadows in the pallets to create a smokey eye, and Velvet Teddy is the perfect lipstick to accompany such a bold eye.


My other makeup look is winged eyeliner and a bold lip. I'd opt for the Collection Eyeliner, £3 and Kylie Cosmetics Dolce K, £23.16 to achieve this look. This eyeliner is great for creating eyeliner looks that slay! If you haven't got a Kylie Lip Kit yet, this is a lovely tone for those with a tanned skin tone.


I hope you've found something you'd wear, or I've inspired a makeup look for you this winter! Subscribe to my social media so you don't miss out on my next posts! Have an amazing weekend, thank you for reading!

Repurchases! (Bath time routine)

Hey guys, I hope you've had a lovely Saturday! I've decided to tell you about a few of the products I have purchased again and again, the products that have never let me down. There aren't any beauty related products in today's blog post, the products I'm talking about are more bath-based.


First of all I wanted to talk about the Dove
Intensive Repair Shampoo and Conditioner which are only £2 each, in fact usually they are on offer for both for £3. I have tried so many different shampoos and conditioners in my life, from high end to supermarket own, but this is by far the best. Leaves hair feeling refreshed, with no knots, as well as lovely and shiny!


Next up is my beloved Clean & Clear Advantage Oil Control Cream Wash, (Online it's listed at £4.99, but I'm sure I've never paid that much for it, so £4.99 at the very maximum!). I use this religiously, every morning and evening, alongside my Simple Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash (£2.75), which I use every evening regardless of where I am. I found out about the Clean & Clear Advantage Oil Control Cream Wash when I was shopping in Boots, earlier in the year they were giving out free samples. I adored it at soon as I used it, and knew I'd have to buy a normal sized one. I love how you can actually feel it doing something, I would say this exfoliates which is why it's great to use with the Simple Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash as that softens the skin. I'm a huge fan of Simple skincare, I have sensitive skin so I love how Simple don't use any horrible ingredients.


The final product I wanted to talk to you about today is the Salt Of The Earth Spray Deodorant, £3,99. I can honestly say this is the only deodorant I have discovered that is kind on the underarms AND really works! My favourite thing about this deodorant is that you can reapply it as often as you need, it never strings the underarms or leaves them sore or dry. The bottle lasts a long time, longer than a spray deodorant or roll on. I like how you can actually see how much is left, you don't have to shake an aerosol can and make an estimate.


Thank you for taking the time to read this, what are your favourite bath time products? Leave a comment down below - Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

October Favourites

Good evening, I hope you're enjoying the cooler weather and are reading this whilst you are snuggled under a blanket with a hot chocolate beside you! Today I thought
I would share my October favourites with you, the products that got me through the month. I spent most of October back in the UK, however I did go to Gran Canaria during half term so some of these things may be holiday related.


First up are these black Primark joggers that were really useful to wear on the plane as they are so comfortable! They are surprisingly flattering, the white stripe is really slimming. These are great for days where you really can't be bothered but need to pop out, and at £8 you can't really go wrong!


Next up is another steal from Primark, this black rucksack that was only £9! It's a really versatile bag that has so many uses, from carry on luggage to a PE kit. It's so comfy to carry, as the straps distribute the weight really well. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I could stuff inside the bag, when I was on holiday I used it as a beach bag and it fitted all my beach necessities - Even my massive beach towel! It's really sturdy for a Primark bag too. The one negative is that it doesn't have any pockets, which is a bit annoying because there isn't a section to put your phone in to keep it safe.


Thirdly is the Boots Botanics Fast Absorbing Hand Lotion. As we all know, one of the biggest issues that come with the cold weather is dry, gross hands! As the name suggests, it absorbs instantly and doesn't leave a sticky feel to the hands like many other hand creams. It moisturisers hands really well, and there is a noticeable difference straight away. Oh, and it's only £1.93!


My next beauty favourite is this Simple Moisturiser which was £2.30 (You can't get much better then that!). Like the hand lotion, you won't find any nasties is this moisturiser. Suitable for all skin types, it is SO easy to get hold off! You can literally buy it at supermarkets! Simple is one of, if not my favourite, skincare brand, and this product did not disappoint!


Finally are these adorable Ikea fairy lights, which cost £3, the optional decorations are £6, but they are so sweet I couldn't resist! If like me you hate sleeping in the dark, these fairy lights add a subtle glow to a room, subtle enough that they can be left on overnight. They are perfect for this time of year, they add a cozy touch to any room. I have them in my bedroom wrapped around the headboard on my bed. They are so cheap yet add a lovely touch to a room.


I hope you enjoyed finding out my favourite products of October! Enjoy the last few hours of your Sunday, I hope you have a great week!
