Autumnal Makeup Favourites

Autumnal Makeup Favourites


thumb_img_4805_1024

I'm sitting in my bedroom writing this blogpost and my hands are so cold it is almost hard to type! So while it currently feels more like Winter right now I thought it was about time I got around to talking about some of my Autumn makeup favourites.


thumb_img_4808_1024

As cliche as it is, a darker lip is one of my favourite makeup looks for this time of year. And both of my favourite shades are from Rimmel, so very inexpensive. Rimmel's Lasting Finish Lipstick in shade 128 Starry-Eyed has been my go to berry shade for a few years now, and I know I have spoken about this a few times on my blog. So I though I would introduce you to a new darker lip favourite; Rimmel's Lasting Finish by Kate in shade 48. This is a deeper brown toned colour and definietly fitting with the whole 90's trend which is still around. I find that this colour really suites my skin tones and makes my brown eyes pop. Especially with a subtle brown smokey eye and lashings of black mascara. I like to wear this during the day time dabbed onto my lips over some lipbalm, or full on colour for evenings. And the finish of these are beautiful so they last for ages!

Green eyeshadow, I know what your thinking! Sounds awful and probably reminds you of that lime green eyeshadow you got free once in a Pop magazine and used to smudge all over you lids as a child! But I'm talking about a beautiful shimmery emerald green, which FYI is my favourite colour at the moment. Maybe I'll have to do a whole blogpost on all of the emerald green additions I've been making to my wardrobe! This lovely eyeshadow from The Body Shop makes for a gorgeous and different evening smokey eye. Or take a little bit on a thin liner brush for pretty day time look.

My final Autumn favourites are jewel toned nails, particularly these stunning Essie shades. After a Summer of whites and pastels it's lovely to pick up those rich colours that just feel and look so luxurious. Burgundy on your nails at this time of year is a classic, but can sometimes be a bit over done. I think navy is a colour that people often forget, but it looks just as sophisticated. And finally back to the emerald green which I am also loving wearing on my nails.


Essie Shades:




  • Bobbing for baubles

  • Midnight Cami

  • Sugar Daddy

  • Going Incognito

  • Thigh High

  • Trophy Wife


Only a couple of weeks now and it will be Winter! And I can't wait to start getting all Christmassy!

Matte Grey

Matte Grey


thumb_IMG_2808_1024

Another day, more grey! Apart from this time on my nails...well, and my jumper is grey! I'm not sure that I will ever get bored of wearing this colour. In my opinion, nothing beats a pair of skinny jeans and a slouchy grey jumper.


thumb_IMG_2809_1024


The nail polish that I am wearing is from Essie, obviously! It is the shade Urban Jungle which is a beautiful off-white beige grey. Like I mentioned in my April Favourites I am really loving wearing nude nail polishes at the moment. They look so sophisticated and perfectly complement every outfit as well as both gold and silver jewellery.


thumb_IMG_2810_1024


I'm also wearing this gorgeous matte top coat from Accessorize, that my sister got me. I used to have another matte top coat a couple of years ago when it was a huge trend, but these nail polishes seem to go gloopey and horrible a lot quicker. I haven't tried any other nail polishes from Accessorize before but I really love the beautiful rose gold packaging. The nail polish brush is pretty thick so the top coat is easy to apply, and I was really impressed by how quickly it dried. I tend to find that using a matte top coat helps to fuse all the layers of nail polish together and generally helps my nail polish to last a few extra days too.


Hope you enjoyed this little post. I feel like I haven't spoken about nail polishes on my blog for ages, as recently I have been trying to strengthen and grow my nails and tend to only wear Essie Grow Stronger base coat. But I do have another nail polish related post planned for very soon as well.

Katherine Penney Chic Essie Nail Polish White Beauty Spring Modern Clean Review

I had wanted a white nail polish for such a long time, so when Boots had a 3 for 2 on all makeup I had to pick up the perfect shade of white from my favourite nail polish brand, Essie. I can't image how many times I have gone on about my love for Essie on this blog, so I won't go on about how amazing they are for too long. But they are honestly the best polishes that I have ever tried. 

The shade that I picked up was the shade Blanc which is a true white shade with no shimmer. I know that often a lot of pastel and white shades come out very thin and you have to do several coats before it starts to look like the colour in the bottle. And even though I know Essie is an amazing brand part of me still expected to have to do several coats just because white is such a light colour. But after one coat of this I knew that wasn't going to be the case because this polish is just so opaque. I ended up doing two coats just to fill in any little gaps and to neaten everything up. But this went on so smoothly and beautifully and tried pretty quickly two. 

Katherine Penney Chic Essie Nail Polish White Beauty Spring Modern Clean Review

The other thing that I was worried about was that because I haven't seen any sun in what feels like forever and I literally have no colour a white nail polish would totally wash me out and look awful. And even though I do think that this would look a hundred times better with a bit of a tan I still love that way that it looks right now. It's worth spending a bit of time shaping your nails before as the bright white does draw attention to them. But the colour just looks so chic and crisp and modern. And with my gold watch and a couple of gold rings I felt like I had got the whole look nailed! Geddit?!

Anyway, bad jokes aside this is a really great white polish and it should only take you two coats to get a perfect opaque white colour. Also Essie as a brand is brilliant, but maybe I am slightly biased?! xx

Essie Power Clutch

Essie Power Clutch 

Katherine Penney Chic Style Beauty Manicure Nails Polish Essie Khaki Spring Pretty Gold Rings Urban Modern

I've literally just spend the last 40 minutes or so watching the lastest episode of TOWIE (don't hate, it's a guilty pleasure!) and painting my nails. And after a few weeks of wearing lots of neutrals and pastel shades I decided to go for this beautiful shade of khaki. And as soon as I put it on my nails I just fell in love with it so I thought that I would share some pictures with you. 

Katherine Penney Chic Style Beauty Manicure Nails Polish Essie Khaki Spring Pretty Gold Rings Urban Modern

The shade is Essie Power Clutch. Not a shade that you really hear about much, if ever but I really think that it deserves a little mention. It really is such a perfect transitional shade for this time of year when you are starting to get excited for Spring but the weather isn't yet agreeing! The khaki shade is dark but not too bold and I think it would compliment most skin tones, especially with a few pretty gold rings.

Essie Shearling Darling and Rimmel Glitter Bomb Top Coat

Essie Shearling Darling and Rimmel Glitter Bomb Top Coat

Katherine Penney Chic essie shearling darling rimmel glitter nail polish

Katherine Penney Chic essie shearling darling rimmel glitter nail polish

After the Christmas lights turn on and a day spent wondering around the Manchester Christmas markets I am starting to feel super festive! So when it came to painting my nails a few days ago I decided to go for something a little Christmassy!

Both the nail polishes that I chose are new to me so I really wanted to share with you what I thought of them. The first is Essie's Shearling Darling polish which is a really sophisticated dark red/maroon and perfect for this time of year. Like pretty much all of the Essie nail polishes that I have tried it is amazing quality and a lovely thick brush. For top coat I chose the Rimmel glitter bomb top coat in Disco Diva because I am a sucker for anything sparkly! Especially at this time of year! It's fine silver glitter with larger pink glitter and look just beautiful when it catches the light. And I found that over a colour one coat of this is perfect. 

I really love this combination of polishes but to be honestly I think that this glitter top coat would look great over a lot of colours and I can't wait to try it over other shades!

Hope you are all well. Exactly one month until Christmas now! :D xx

I wanted to share with you the nail polish and necklace that I am wearing this morning. This is one of my new nail polishes from Essie called Parka Perfect. As soon as I put this on my nails I just fell in love with the colour. It's like a greyish blue with a tiny bit of sparkle in. I haven't really seen anything like this before and I just think it is beautiful as perfect for this time of year. Also how cute is the name?! I also wanted to show you this beautiful necklace that my sister gave to me when I saw her last week. It's so sweet that she spent her birthday money buying me some presents and I really do miss her a lot. 

Nails - Essie Parka Perfect

Necklace - Accessorize

Just a really quick post today as I have so much university work that I really need to get on with. I love taking beautiful pictures and writing up blog posts and honestly I would spend all my time doing it if I could. Recently I have been trying to post again everyday and while I have been managing I am starting to feel that it is at the expense of other things such as work. I am getting all my university work dome but I want to spend more time doing things such as extra reading and outside of lecture revision so I can really get the most that I can from my course. From now on I think I will try and post every other day to help me create a better balance between work, seeing friends and family, my blog and everything else. Hope you all understand :) Speak soon xx

Winter Beauty Favourites

Winter Beauty Favourites

Penney Chic beauty winter makeup drugstore

Today I wanted to talk about my Winter Beauty Favourites and I feel like now it is suddenly getting a lot colder it is he perfect time. I love all of the beautiful rich shades that you always see this time of year and everything starts to feel a little bit Christmassy! All of these products you can find on the highstreet for really great prices too!

Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Stick - Bluffing
This is just the perfect shade for everyday or for evening. It's a beautiful shimmery bronzy brown that takes just seconds to apply over the lid and on the lower lash line. And I think that this works really well with a darker wintery lip colours as it is still fairly subtle. 

The Body Shop Eye Colour - 43
I was lucky enough to find this in the sale last year and just fell completely in love with the colour. It's a beautiful shimmery emerald green that I do have to feel a little brave to wear. But you don't see this colour makeup too often and for me this is just something a little different that looks gorgeous for this time of year. 

Sleek Blush - Coral
I think blusher is essential for this time of year. At the moment I don't have a tan and my skin often looks a little dull. Blusher is perfect for giving your skin a healthy glow and make you look as if you have just come in from the cold! For me despite the name this isn't really a coral colour. But for this time of year I love slightly darker blushes that can really make a deep red or plum lipstick pop!

The Body Shop Eyeliner - Golden Brown
Firstly these Body Shop eyeliners are so pigmented and amazing for blending. I love this golden brown shade just in the outer corner and along my lower last line to add something pretty to my everyday makeup look. 

Maybelline Colorsensational Shine Gloss - Gleaming Grenadine
I picked this up not to long ago and it has already become such a favourite of mine. This is just the perfect gloss if you want a red lip without making too much of a statement. So I thin that it is perfect for everyday as well.

NYC Expert Last Nail Polish - 263 Money Never Sleeps
I saw a nail polish in this beautiful emerald green colour by Butter London a few weeks ago but I couldn't bring myself to part with £12 for one nail polish, especially now I am a student! But then a few days later in Superdrug I saw this shade by NYC and I knew it was meant to be! I think for autumnal and winter colours this is a really great alternative to the burgundy plum shade that everyone starts to wear. And this was such a bargain!

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick - 128 Starry Eyed
I wore this so much last winter and I know this year it is going to be exactly the same! This really is just the most beautiful deep plum dark lip shade and I think that for their price Rimmel do some of the best lipsticks on the highstreet. 

Essie Nail Polish - Midnight Cami
Another colour that I love to wear on my nails this time of year is navy. I think it looks so chic and sophisticated. This one by Essie is the perfect navy with a hit of shimmer running through it. And I really can't fault the formulation of Essie nail polishes. 

Loreal Colour Riche Nude Eyeshadow - 205 Sable Lame
Don't really understand the name of this one, but that aside this really is the most beautiful Christmassy gold. And yes, I did use the C word for a second time in this post! The formulation of these eyeshadows are just so pigmented and I really can't get over this amazing gold shade. This would look perfect for the upcoming party season this an amazing red lip. 

Hope you liked this post. What beauty products do you love for winter? xx

Winter Essie Haul

Winter essie nail polishes

A few days ago I read a post by Miss Makeup Magpie about an Essie Haul that she had done on a website called Fragrance Direct which is selling Essie nail polishes for £2.50. You can check out her post and see the colours that she bought here. I'd never heard of this website before but I really am so happy that I have as I found some really great bargains.

In Boots Essie nail polishes are sold for £7.99 and from salons they are even more expensive. So I can't believe how cheap these polishes are, especially considering they are some of the new shades. As well as 32 of the regular polishes they also sell two of the snake skin nail polishes and two of the multidimensional top coats.


The shades that I picked up were:
Shearling Darling - A beautiful sophisticated dark browny plum

Belugaria - a black with large glitter pieces in that I think will be great for Halloween!
Ignite the night - A very fine silver glittery polish perfect for the upcoming party season

Parka Perfect - This is my favourite and one that I have wanted for a while. It's a bluey grey with a hint of sparkle running though. So beautiful and usual and I think this will look lovely for every season. 

I also picked up a couple of Calvin Klein lipsticks for less than £2 which I will write about once I have used then a bit and done some samples. So if you haven't checked out fragrance direct then you can click the link here. I especially recommend it is you are an Essie obsessive like myself. I've been back on their website since and made another wishlist for more polishes. So far I'm staying strong though!

Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover Hands And Feet

Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover Hands And Feet



I started using the original Bourjois magic nail polish remover several months ago and I'm not sure that I have used any other remover on my finger nails since. And yes, I was one of those people who tried to fir their toes into the pot - it really doesn't work! So I waited until I dipped my finger into the pink pot and the colour didn't really come off before I allowed myself to purchase this new version. 

This comes in exactly the same pot with the big sponge that you dip your finger in to remove your polish. The difference with this purple on is that there is a a sponge soaked in the same remover on the lid that can be used for removing polish on toe nails. Personally I don't think that the toe nail polish remover part is as "magic" as the hand remover. But having them both together in one little pot that seems to last several months is pretty useful. For about £5 as well this is such good value and I really can't recommend this product anymore. The only think that I will say is it does have a very strong smell that will fill any room basically as soon as the lid is taken off. So I think it is polite to try and not use this around other people!

Essie – Lilacism
Essie – Cute as a button
Rimmel – Pillow talk (I’m wearing this one at the moment)
Barry M - Mediterrean
