Today's Little Number

 Hi guys!

Today I thought I would do something a little different and show you guys a couple of items that I have been loving through out May! 

First of all is my Tupac T-shirt from Topshop, which if you follow me on Instagram you know I absolutely loveeee! And it was cheap as chips! Sadly its out of stock everywhere I know but Im sure theres ones very similar on sights such as Ebay. 

I've also been loving this skirt for a few months now, its also from Topshop and it comes in so handy for those lazy outfit days which I love because it seems to go with everything, I also think its quite well priced for a denim skirt and the A-line fit looks so flattering on and keeps its shape and size. 

I wore this with my tortoiseshell chelsea boots from Topshop, my gorgeous new mini bag from Michael Kors and my Pandora bracelet that I got for my 12th birthday so was a very ling time ago now haha!

Q&A!

Hi guys! Today I thought I would do something slightly different. I have been thinking about doing one of these for agessss so I'm super excited to finally do one! 

It won't consist of a certain theme, it will be me answering some of the questions you guys have asked me either on snapchat or instagram.

I hope you guys enjoy this and if so please feel free to message me if you have any further questions or you would like more inside into one of my responses. 

Ahhh feels really weird typing this without a picture above it, right, anyway, lets get started!

Question 1: How do you keep so healthy and motivated to work out? 

Answer 1: I have wanted to talk about health and fitness on my blog for ages so I'm so happy this questions come up. I'm the kind of person who's is always looking to improve themselves and be the best I could possibly be. My body has been through A lot of ups and downs throughout my life so now I try to look after it in every possible way I can, I see it as your body is a temple and we should all look after it! I mean don't get me wrong I love sugar a lot but I have found that by switching really bad snack food to much healthier food my body feels lighter and full of energy also eating healthy foods has helped to improve my metabolism and diet in general and its got kind of addictive haha. I love to go the gym as Im the kind of person who gets easily stressed out so when I work out I can release all of that and improve my mentality and body all in one so I guess you can say that I like to keep healthy and workout for the mental benefits than the physical ones. 

Question 2: What would you say is your favourite brand for makeup and why? 

Answer 2: Hmmm, this is a hard one because it varies! My all time favourite foundation is the Dior Star foundation but in general I have to say my favourite brand has to be Urban decay because it is super pigmented and long lasting! I adore the quality of their makeup despite the price but for eyebrows it has to be the Anastasia beverly hills dip brow, I love both of these because as far as I know they do not test on animals which is a main priority for me recently. 

Question 3: What are good dupes for high end products? 

Answer 3: For the Anastasia Beverly Hills dip brow I know that NYX have recently brought out a product virtually identical and the colour range and pigmentation for this product is amazing. Secondly, for the MAC false lash effect mascara I know that Loreal have brought out the lash sensations mascara which I used the other day and was very impressed. For a go to high street contour pallet I like to use the NYX contour palette as the pigmentation and application of the product is flawless however it is slightly pricy but lasts ages so its a definate investment for someone looking for a relatively cheap contour pallet!

Question 4: Favourite fountain and why?

It has to be the Dior Star foundation. I got a tester of this actually in Elle magazine and fell in love with it instantly, it doesn't feel cake and its super light on the skin, its so brightening but it doesn't make you look oily and it just sits amazing and lasts all day but I would mainly recommend it for winter time and not summer mainly because it is quite thick but if you're looking to invest in a really good lasting foundation I 100% recommend this bad boy. 

Question 5: If you could live in one outfit for the rest of your life what would it be and why? 

Answer 5: Hands down a baggy top and Leggings and a denim jacket so basically what I wear to college haha, purely because my body shapes always changing, sometimes Im super bloated so none of my jeans fit me and I don't like tight fitting tops so the baggier the better probably my Tupac top because I'm fan grilling over it ATM plus I love my denim jacket as its just so build-able!

Question 6: Who inspires you the most?

Answer 6: My friends and family as they push me to be the best person I could possibly be and even though we fall out and sometimes they wanna kill me I know that they will always have my back and that means everything to me. 

Question 7: What was it that made you feel so strongly about vegetarianism? 

Answer 7: I have been through a lot already this year and it has put a lot of things into perspective for me, I am a strong believer that we only have one life and  I don't wish to spend it hurting something for my own personal benefit but I don't wish to force my views onto other people! It is just my own choice. 

I have cut down massively the amount the amount of  of questions questions  I have answered due to the size of this so any un-answered questions will be answered in the next Q&A!

Thank you for reading lovelies!

Floral and Leather- Topshop

Hi Lovelies!

Today I just wanted to show you really one of my favourite looks from this spring season which is bold floral prints with this gorgeous sleeveless faux leather jacket from Topshop!

The first look I paired it with this gorgeous 'cold shoulder' mustard coloured floral blouse and my once black Joni jeans which if you follow me on instagram are my all time favourite holy grail jeans! But yeah, they have gone kind of grey which I think looks quite sweet with the top. I also paired it with my Topshop cut out boots with metallic detailing for a more casual vibe but if I was going to dress it up I would probably pair this look with a pair of pointed nude heels and a plain black clutch. 

The second looks has to be one of my favourite looks of this season, which is this gorgeous floral printed smock dress from Topshop, similarly with the first look I have paired it with these black ankle boots and the sleeveless jacket and I am completely smitten with this look! As it's a bit chilly still I would probably wear a pair of black tights and some flats or pair it with a pair of nude heels. 

I love both these looks so much because of the clash of 'attitudes' I would say because they're both quite sweet with an edge which I am loving for spring this year before I move into pastels and bright colours for spring. And as some of you may know I am obsessed with leather jackets and most likely wear one every single day haha! But I love jacket because it gives me the chance to wear a leather jacket even when the weather starts to get warmer again! 

Both looks are extremely versatile despite the price of them but I feel like they're both quite statemented looks with very versatile pieces so you can mix and match with other outfit ideas as they are such easy statement pieces for your wardrobe! 

Here is the link to the Pieces if you are interested!

Chanel Vitalumière Aqua Foundation Review

Hi lovelies!

So, today I'm going to be talking about the Chanel Vitalumière Aqua Foundation my first impressions before and after use and reasons why I adore this product!

First impressions: I decided to invest in a really lightweight foundation mainly for spring/ summer for those days and nights where I do not really want a heavy foundation so I decided to do some research into products like this because I found most of my foundations were very heavy and high coverage and felt thick and heavy on my skin which made me feel anxious to get it off on warm weathered days! I think it was one of my favourite youtubers InTheFrow who introduced me to this product as she spoke about it in one of her videos! Anyway, this is a very high priced foundation and was a bit stunned at just how small the product itself actually was! Especially for the price I was paying for it! 

It was the type of foundation that is very oil based so before application you need to shake the bottle (little dance time!)  and when it came out I found it's consistency very similar to the bare minerals bare skin foundation which is one of my all time favourites!! so I was very excited by this point! And I found that it glided on flawlessly and almost melted into my skin. 

After application opinions: After applying this foundation my skin felt extremely light and healthy! It felt glowy and dewy and moisturised (win win situation). The description of the product by Chanel is that the foundation is 'ultra light' and 'skin perfecting' which I completely agree with! It melts into your skin and disguises all kinds of blemishes and dark spots whilst not looking cakey and like you're actually wearing foundation which is something I struggle with massively in the summer time so I'm very excited to give this product a whirl then as in my opinion it is a cross between a tinted moisturiser and a foundation which I love the prospect of! 

However, for a high coverage look I believe this is extremely build-able but I personally would rather wear this on a summers evening or throughout the day due to its lightweight feel. 

It is also very expensive therefore if you are considering investing in it I would strongly recommend doing research into the product as well as your own personal colour as their is not a lot of variance in terms of this but the women on the Chanel counter are all so lovely and are more than happy to help you decide what is best for you!

Thank you for reading!

Winter Night Repair Routine

Hi guys! Feels like its been ages since I sat down and we had a good little chat! Recently I've been very  concerned about taking care of my skin due to stress as well as extreme changes in the weather and temperature etc.. And I thought it all only be right I showed you guys what I'm doing! 

First of all I will remove any makeup on my face using the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser which you guys will know I use every single day and still love!

I will then remove any excess makeup on my face such as eye makeup and powders and concealers which are deep in the pores using the following cleansers Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic to remove any intense makeup like concealer, I will then use Estee Lauder Take It Away Gentle Eye and Lip LongWear Makeup Remover 

After this I will then use the Liz Earle Gentle Face Exfoliator to remove any dead or dry skin cells and I love this product because it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or irritated in any way it leaves it feeling super soft and calm. 

I will then begin my moisturising routine which is my favourite part of my night time routine because it leaves my skin feeling very relaxed and soothed and ready for a good nights sleep! I will begin by using the Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme Light Global Anti-Aging Creme Oil-Free and I adore this moisturiser! It smells amazing, feels amazing and is just a superior moisturiser in my opinion due to the deep nourishing features, despite its price I 100% recommend this! After that I will use the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum Synchronized Complex II and apply this all over my eyes and then using a clean mascara brush will run it through my lashes.

Finally I will use the Aloe Moisturising lotion on my arms, legs, shoulders, elbows and neck to sooth any dry skin which may have become irritated during this time of year. 

Thank you all so much for reading! I hope to be back blogging regularly very soon!
