A Cosy Winters Night|x

Hello there! So as you can all tell it’s getting a lot colder and wetter and we all just want to be inside with a hot choccie getting warm! This my absolute favorite time of year, it’s close to Christmas everyone is feeling festive and happy, hoping for the snow to fall so you can build a snowman then going inside having a lovely warm bath and cosy-ing up in your favorite jumper next to the fire with a Christmas film – ah what a dream!

Although it may not be snowing just yet, this is exactly what I’ll be doing tonight. Getting home from work and just chilling out with lots of food,blankets and TV is the perfect way to start your weekend, and I’ve found some lovely jubbly things to help you enjoy you night in! –

Where have I been?|x

Hello there dolls, I have been totally MIA recently but I’m back with a bunch of new blog posts!

So, where have I been exactly? Well not anywhere exciting I can tell you that haha! I started a new job a few months ago and recently we have been changing a lot of procedures, this means re training on everything and let me tell you it is DRAINING but hey it’s work and we all have to do it – unfortunately!

As well as work I have got rid of my computer, yes a computer;OLDSCHOOL. I am hoping to purchase a laptop this month or maybe after Christmas we will just have to see. I love writing so much and it does get me down when I can’t do it, but it also makes me just want to work harder on my blog if anything.

Soooo, blog posts will be up weekly hopefully 2 at the minimum if i can get organized – I am not organized at all lmao.  Please bare with me and I hope you all enjoy my blog 🙂

October Favourites

Hello Dolls! I can’t even believe that it’s October already, where has this year gone, come back please!!! Anyhooo, It’s getting to the time of year where my skin gets dry and spotty (urgh), my hair gets frizzy,dry and dull BUT it also means new cosy jumpers, new make up and new hair products. RESULT.

As well as my Benefit foundation I have been using Rimmel Lasting Finish Skin Perfecting foundation in the shade 201 – Classic Beige. I love this foundation as it gives a nice matte finish but not too much that it looks silly, it covers everything you need it too and lasts all day even with my oily T – Zone AND it’s cheap as chips. I wear this foundation for work and it doesn’t really budge at all, although I do powder through the day just to make sure.

On with some more make-up, Obviously it has to be Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in 001 Transparent, it always is my favorite! After I’ve done my base I just pat this on every where and it’s like magic, it mattes everything out without making it look like I have any powder on. The only thing that is abit annoying is the packaging, I don’t know if this happens to anyone else BUT my lid always comes off and I can’t count how many have broke in my bag!

I am also loving the Topshop Lips in INNOCENT, it is a Pinky Nude and it’s just to die for. It stays on for quite a while even while im eating – which is most of the time may I add haha! It’s a lovely creamy consistency and doesn’t dry my lips out like alot of other lipsticks do and the packaging is pretty cute! I am trying to get into darker lipsticks now it’s coming into the colder months, I just always get scared that they don’t suit me or it’s on my teeth – MAJOR FAIL.

This eye shadow brush is the BOMB, i’ve never ever been into eyeshadow, which is mainly because I used to put one color all over my eye and look like a clown- we’ve all been there i know! I thought I’d buy an eye shadow pallette and some brushes from ebay and wow this is my fave thing in the world, I use it to create a sharp line on my crease and it works amazingly. The brush is soft, doesn’t look cheap and works great and only cost me £1.00, IS THAT REAL LIFE I THINK IT IS!

My last three favourties of the month are these Lee Stafford Argan Oil Products. This set has a Shampoo,Conditioner and Hair Oil.

My hair has been all kinds of crazy lately, it’s constantly frizzy and dry and basically I can’t do anything with it without looking like I’ve been electricuted – FAIL. I’ve found by using all three of these products my hair has been looking alot more nourished and (looked after) lately. I will shampoo and conition my hair every other day then 3 nights a week sleep with the oil on damp and, as soon as I wake up it looks better. I have only been using for a week but so far, so good.

A Mini Haul!

So…. I went on a little shopping trip a few weeks ago, which wasn’t the best idea as Christmas is coming up but hey, you’ve got to treat yourself sometimes!

First on my list was a new foundation, I’ve been using Rimmel Lasting Finishing Foundation for the past few weeks and I do love it, I just thought it would be nice too try something different. That’s when I came across a little beauty – Benefits How To Look The Best At Everything (Medium).

I ordered this from Feel Unique and was drawn to it instantly as it has a primer, 2 different shades of concealer , foundation and a powder. WOW!! I am so glad I branched out that day and got a new foundation haha! It’s lovely and doesn’t dry out my skin like a lot of other foundations, I apply mine with a beauty blender and it gives great coverage with a dewy effect, just divine!

I ordered some Sleep In Rollers as I’ve heard so much about them and of course I tried them straight away – I couldn’t help myself!

 I got the all black ones with glitter on the ends, I first washed my hair with my usual Shampoo and Conditioner – Tresemee XTRA volume – then sectioned my hair and gave myself a blow dry. The rollers are pretty easy to use and they gave great volume and a lovely wave.

 The only thing I would say is that they weren’t actually that comfy to sleep in, I don’t know if that’s just me being me (weird!) but they weren’t as comfortable as I thought they would be, but they did do the job!

 I also picked up a mint blue turtle neck over sized Jumper and black skater dress for Select and a new coat from SheInside – which is the most beautiful thing I’ve laid eyes on and it was so inexpensive I was so happy! So I would definitely recommend checking out the website if your looking for affordable style 🙂
