Sultry Daytime Glamour

Sultry Daytime Glamour 

I wanted to share with you a few photos from a look that I put together with the Revlon Colorburst matte balm in shade Sultry. It's a beautiful dark but not berry pink shade that works perfectly for day or night. The colour is sophisticated and glamorous so I wore it with simple day time makeup and lots of mascara. My hair was also wavy from the night before which makes the look even more dressed up. All the makeup that I am wearing is listed below.

Some Questions

Some Questions 

A few weeks ago I was nominated for the Liebster Award by Mary from http://maryelizabethmalone.blogspot.co.uk/. I have actually already done this award before a while ago but I still wanted to mention Mary and thank her from the nomination. I also think she asked some really great questions so for today's post I thought that I would just sit down and answer them for you. Hope you enjoy learning a little bit more about me. 

- What is the first CD you remember buying or listening to?

I can't actually remember this one, but probably on of the NOW that's what I call music ones. But I was also completely obsessed with S Club 7 and wated to be Rachel Stevens so could be one of their albums too!

- What is your favourite category of makeup ((foundation, eye shadow, blush etc.)) and why?

My favourite to stop for would have to be eyeshadow palettes. Especially the really pretty nude ones! But the product that I couldn't live without would have to be concealer. 

- What movies and music do you watch/listen to when your sad?

When I'm sad for some reason I like to wallow in my sadness and watch something that makes my cry! So I like to watch emotional love films like Romeo and Juliet, The Last Song, The Notebook, Atomement etc. Then I usually eat a load of chocolate, have a good cry and after that I normally feel better! And same with music, something emotional with powerful lyrics. 

- Are you artistic?

I like to think so! My mum is really creative so I spent a lot of my childhood doing artistic projects with her like painting, printing, sewing, sculpting and all sorts! But my real love is for fashion so I guess that it quite creative. 

- What possessions do you have that bring back nostalgic memories?

I have lots of little trinkets that I've bought on holiday that always bring back lovely memories. And I have so many school hoodies from trips and leaving that remind me of my school years. 

- What is your dream career?

I don't know specifically what I want to do yet but I do know that I would love to work in the fashion or beauty industry. 

- Where is your favourite place in the world?

I don't really have a favourite place as there are so many places that I want to go. I've been going to Cornwall with my family a few times a year for as long as I can remember so I have a lot of amazing memories there. I this summer I had my first holiday with my boyfriend in Paris which was amazing. I guess it's more about the people you are with really. 

- Are you a procrastinator or do you get shit done?

Both! I'm super organised and have checklists for everything including a daily to do list. But what I'm not very good at is prioritising what needs doing. So I'll paint my nails, watch Made in Chelsea and tidy every inch of my room before I actually sit down to start some productive work!

- If you could change anything about your past would you? 

I'm such a worrier and I always have been so if I could go back then I would probably tell myself to not spend so my time worrier. I don't even want to think about all the time that I wasted getting upset over friend dramas on the playground or little homework projects! Life's way too short for all that. And I still do worry about stuff but I'm getting a lot better at putting everything into perspective. The older the wiser and all that!

- What is the last book you read that you enjoyed?

I really don't read as much as much as I should. I feel like I never get the time, but that's a rubbish excuse. I think one of the last books I read that sticks in my mind was The Fault In Our Stars. Not very original but a brilliant book. 

-What is your favorite aspect of blogging?

I love just having a little space on the internet that is all mine and I'm really proud of because I have put so my time and effort into it. I also love taking my own photos and catching beautiful moments or a creative set up of products and then editing them.

November Favourites

November Favourites 

I honestly can't believe that it is December already! But I am so so excited for Christmas now! Anyway, back to my November favourites and what I have been loving this month. 

Earlier in the month I did a really huge Boots haul after I got a little carried away with the 3 for 2 offer on all makeup. So nearly everything in this haul is from that haul! 

Revlon Lip Butter in 050 Berry Smoothie
I picked this one up as I have wanted to try this formula for so long and I remember Lily Pebbles really loved this shade. This feels like a lip balm which is amazing and it is so moisturising. The shade is a beautiful everyday pink and during November I have been reaching for this most days. 

MaXfactor Face Infinity Primer
I don't want to say too much about this one as I have a detailed review of this that should be coming up soon. But I have worn this everyday that I have worn makeup since I bought it. It's protecting, moisturising and leaves my skin feeling silky smooth ready to apply my makeup on. 

Garnier Intensive 7 Days Hand Cream
Firstly I should probably say that I don't think this lasts 7 days! But it is still a very good hand cream. My hand have been feeling so dry recently but the formula of this is so thick and moisturising yet it isn't greasy and it sinks in really quickly. A really great reasonably priced hand cream. And you only have to use a tiny amount so this is going to last me a while. 

Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in Sultry
I already did a post on the colourburst lacquer balm and how much I loved it and this one is just as amazing. This colour is totally gorgeous and I have an outfit post wearing this coming up very soon. I also think the matte balms have such an incredible lasting power. 

Blistex Moisture Max
As well as suffering from very dry hands at the moment my lips are also getting incredibly dry. I picked this up in Boots as I wanted something super moisturising that would last for a while. This stays on my lips for ages, even after food and drink! And I put in on before bed and in the morning I can still feel it. It gives the lips a beautiful glossy shine and works really well under lipsticks. 

Vaselie Spray and Go Cocoa Radiant
I know I've talked about the Vaseline spray and go a few times before but it really is a great moisturising. I find that it is perfect for this time of year as when you get out the shower it freezing and that last thing you want to do is be hanging around for ages applying moisturiser and waiting for it to dry. But I can apply this everyday after I shower as it takes about 2 minutes. Also it smells like chocolate and who doesn't want that?! 

Essie Nail Polish in Perfect Parka
This was one of my bargain Essie purchases a while back and I think this would have to be my favourite. The colour is just a really unusual greyish blue with a hint of tiny sparkles. It's just so pretty on the nails and a perfect alternative to all the berry shades at this time of year. 


Hope you have all had a lovely November and 1st of December yesterday. 22 days and 7 hours left until Christmas now!! xx

A Spot Of Fur

A Spot Of Fur

Just another wintery outfit post that I wanted to share with you. I say wintery, but on the day that I more this it was actually pretty warm for November and I managed to get away with just a top and my fur gilet. The outfit is really casual and simple but I think it looks expensive and classy at the same time. 

I chose this beautiful red berry shade for my nails and kept my makeup and lips really natural. 

I dug this necklace out of my jewellery box the other day and forgot how much I loved it. I think it is more of a summery piece as that is when I bought it but it works perfectly with this top and the rest of the outfit. 

Would you believe that this amazing mini satchel was £6 from Primark?! I bought this at the beginning of summer this year and I can't believe how much wear I have got out of it. 

I think these are quite possibly my most worn shoes of all time! And they were less than £10 from George Asda! I don't even want to think about how many years I have had these as you can probably tell by the fact that one is now a different colour to the other! But they are just so comfy and I love the fact that they aren't patent or glittery.

Jeans - Dorothy Perkins

Fur gilet - Zara

Handbag - Primark
