Gap Blue Spring Jeans

Gap Blue Spring Jeans

Don't you just love it when you see something in a shop that you love but it is a little over your budget and then a few weeks later you find it just in your size for 65% off? Plus a load of other bargains in the sale as well! Don't worry, I don't think this has ever happened to me ever, since last week! It was kinda like finding £50 in a coat pocket that you forgot about. And because I bought these in the sale I like to think that I saved about £50 as well! 

Gap is having such an amazing sale at the moment with up to 75% off. And I know three pairs of the same jeans in different shades of blue is a bit excessive, but I just fell in love with all of them. I just think that they are the most beautiful shades and the colours are really unusual. The one of the left is my favourite and then one that I saw first before it was in the sale. It's just the perfect baby blue colour, and I have never see this shade before. The middle colour is a bit more out of my comfort zone as they are brighter, but they aren't bold or in your face and I think they look really classy. And finally I already have a pair of mint jeans but the Gap ones of the right are so much brighter and a much prettier colour. I brought them home and compared them to my other ones and they really aren't that similar so I know I will wear both. And for £15 how could I say no?

So check out Gap now for some really lovely, amazingly discounted Spring fashion. And probably pretty quickly before I start buying everything!

This month has been all about the beauty products rather than makeup. Most of the month I was on my Easter holiday which meant that I was sitting at my desk revising with absolutely no makeup on! But I have been getting a lot more into my beauty regime and taking better care of my skin, hair and nails. I like to think of it as starting my summer prep a little early! And then fingers crossed come summer I will be fully moisturised with subsequently radiant and glowing skin, glossy hair and perfect cuticles. Well, a girl can only dream! Anyway, on to the products that I have been really loving this month.

Vaseline Essential Cocoa Moisturiser
Firstly this stuff smells incredible. Anything cocoa and I'm basically sold. I think this is definitely a moisturizer to use before bed as it's quite thick and I think you may have to wait a bit before getting dressed. But I'm mostly an evening showerer so its fine. I find that this really evens out my skin and I wake up the next morning just feeling so lovely and moisturised. Seriously cannot get enough of this product.

L'Oreal Extraordinary Oil
This is exactly what it says on the bottle. If I could only pick one other hair product apart from shampoo and conditioner I would have to pick this. It just makes my hair super soft and silky which is saying something as I actually suffer from really dry hair. I smells good, it's easy to apply and it doubles up as a heat protectant as well. I mean what's not to love?!

Blistex Daily Lip Conditioner
It's not as if I even needed another lip balm, I would guess I have about 15 around that house and in different handbags and jacket pockets. But this one caught my eye and I really wanted to just try it out. I don't really know how to describe it and I know it won't be up everyone's street. It smells sort of like minty vanilla if that is even a thing, and after you apply it it feels cooling and slightly tingly as if it is doing something incredible when it is only really moisturising. I have just really enjoyed using this especially before bed as I wake up and its still there!

Boots Alternatives Tea Tree Oil
I go through phases of using this quite a lot and then I seem to forget about it for a bit and then find it is my draw again. This month it has been a bit of a saviour as a had a few really nasty under the skin spot earlier in the month. A few dabs of this on a cotton bud a couple of times a day helped clear up my problems so quickly. I think it definitely works on larger under the skin spots but I wouldn't advise putting it on broken skin or any raw spots as that can really sting.

Maybelline Super Stay Gel Nail Colour
I get through top coats pretty quickly as once I paint my nails I will reapply a top coat everyday to try and make the polish last as long as possible. While in Boots I grabbed this becuase I wanted something cheap and quick. It wasn't until I got it home that I realised it wasn't specifically a top coat, just a clear nail polish. But as I had nothing else to use I just used this and I was so impressed with the results. To be fair Essie nail polishes do have incredible lasting power on their own, but I really do fell like this made a difference too. Plus it's just a cheap and cheerful clear nail polish which everyone needs anyway!

Two Mags You've Got To Have

Two Mags You've Got To Have

Thought that I would do a quick post on a couple of magazines that I have really been loving recently. I am definitely a major magazine reader, ever since I was about 11 and started reading Sugar and Shout. I don't like gossip magazines but I do love a good fashion mag. And even though that I can never afford any of the designer clothes in them I love getting inspired by new season trends. 

The first magazine that I have been loving is Elle Collections, which comes out twice a year at the beginning of each new fashion season. This is just a great way to see all the designers different collections and is a great sneak peak into the high end fashion world. The magazine its self is just so classy and the layout is always beautiful. I think this is the perfect accessory to have on you coffee table as well as it just looks so pretty!

The second magazine is Fashion Cosmopolitan which is massive. I've never read this before but I do love Cosmo and love how their fashion is such a mis of high end and high street. And for fashion lovers this mag is just amazing. It's filled with high end catwalk looks, this seasons "it" trends and so many different inspiration lookbooks, plus there's even some beauty and hair trends at the end. I just love flicking through this and because it is is a mix of designer and high street it is just filled with some amazing bargain buys. I may have a few things circled and on my wishlist already!

So if you get the change I really would try and get your hands on these as they are great. And let me know in the comments below what your favourite magazines are!

Elle Collections  - £7
Fashion Cosmopolitan - £4.99

Barry M Aquarium Collection In Mediterranian

Barry M Aquarium Collection In Mediterranian

As soon as I saw this at the Barry M counter I just fell in love with it. I have never seen a colour like this before and I just think it is absolutely gorgeous. The whole Aquarium collect for Barry M is really pretty but quite a few of the colours I have something very similar. And I'm not really sure haw to describe this unique colour but I'll try, and hopefully the pictures will give you a pretty good idea. 

The shade is a very glittery orangy rose gold colour. In some lights it looks a brassy orange colours and in others it looks a pinky colour with gold glittery through it. Since wearing this I have just received so many compliments and I can't stop looking and admiring my own nails! The formula of this polish is also really good and even though I'm not too keen on the thin brushes of Barry M polishes because the polish was really thick and opaque it was fine. I used two coats of this but really I think I only needed one as it is just such a strong colour. 

Words and photos can't really describe how beautiful this colour really is and for only £4 I think you can't really go wrong. Also I definitely think this nail polish is making my hands look a lot more tanned than they really are! Bonus!

The Body Shop Bargains

The Body Shop Bargains

I had been meaning to get a new light moisturiser for a while and after hearing a lot of good things about the Body Shop's Vitamin E moisturing cream and never having tried anything from the Body Shop skin care range before I decided it was time to give it a go. It just so happened that when I arrived the body shop last week they were having huge sales! So the bargain hunter in me decided that it was much better value to buy this pack of the skin care set containing the moisturiser I wanted from the Vitamin E range for only £18.

At the same time I was also told that my Body Shop card was running out so I also repurchased that for £5 and received this free Jasmine Blossom perfume which I am in love with. It's basically Spring in a bottle! The Body Shop card in not as good as a Boots card in my opinion, but it does offer 10% off everything you buy and free gifts worth between £5 and £10 when you spend certain amounts so if you shop at The Body Shop often then I would recommend it.

If you read my last post on my updated skin care rountine not to long ago then you might be wondering why I am already changing up my skin rountine after saying I was happy with it. I a my Clinique facial products as they are really good at clearing up my skin. What makes them so good is that they are quite strong and drying and over the last few days it has been a little too drying, hence the need for a good moisturiser. I'm also one of those people that wants to try something as soon as a buy it so for the last few days I have been doing my regular skincare routine in the morning but using these new Body Shop products in the evening.

And I am really pleased with the results so far. The Body Shop collection smells lovely and the Clinique products are still keeping my skin clear but I have also noticed how glowing and healthy looking my skin is as well. At the moments I am really loving using these combinations of products on my skin. But I am slowing becoming one of those people who likes to change things up more often, and I'm still on the hunt for that wonder product so I'm just not saying this combination will last forever. Hope you enjoyed this honest post and let me know in the comments below is you have any skin care product recommendations for me, I'd love to hear them. xx

Outfit For A Day At The Races

Outfit For A Day At The Races

Today was one of my friends 18th birthdays so a small group of us went to the races in Lingfield. The sun was shining most of the time and we had such a lovely day. I bet on a few horses but sadly didn't win anything back. Although the fact that I was even allowed to bet and I wasn't asked for ID was enough for me. We had fish and chips for lunch and then had a pick and mix later on which I had forgotten how much I loved. 

There was such a wide variety of fashion as the races with some people in jeans and jumpers and others in dresses, blazers and hats. I was definitely dressed more towards the smarter end but I don't get the chance to dress up that often and I really wanted to make the most of it. 

The dress I'm wearing is one I have had for a few years from Primark which I think is flattering and not too in your face. I then paired it with my statement necklace from Assessorize, my heels from Faith and a thin brown woven belt. The bag that I used is from a brand called marc b and it is amazing how many different compartments it has and how much stuff it can hold. On top of all my other necessities I also carried around a spare pair of loafers in case my heels got too painful. Sounds clever but then I realised that if I wanted to take my heels off they wouldn't fit in the bag so I would have to carry them round and look really silly! The coat that I am wearing is from River Island and it is one of my favourite new coats for Spring. It's a really pale pink fur coat and it kept me really warm when it got a bit windy but it's still thin enough to wear when it gets a bit warmer. 

Hope you like this post and my outfit. Let me know if you have ever been to the races and if so what did you decide to wear. xx

Natural Barely There Makeup Look

Natural Barely There Makeup Look

So this holiday has basically just been me sitting at my desk trying to revise. And because I have barely been leaving the house most days I have just been in lounge pants with a top knot and no makeup. However yesterday I went out for lunch with a friend that I have know since I was about 3 for a catch up. Going days without doing my makeup actually make me even more excited to finally get to sit in front of the mirror. But as this was only a lunch date and it was sunny I wanted a look that was really natural and light on my skin. This look is very similar to the makeup that I wear to school and I love how quick and easy it is to do. 

Firstly I used a small amount of my Clinique sample moisturiser all over my face to prep my skin. Afterwards I used my Rimmel London matte BB cream on my skin as a light cover up. I fell in love with this stuff from my first use but I don't want to talk anymore about it now as I think it really deserves it's own blog post! Then I concealed a few blemishes, spot scars and my dark circles with my favourite concealer which is the Collection lasting perfection concealer. Which reminds me, have you guys read my last blog post on how to reduce dark circles, if not you can check it out here. 

Afterwards I used a tip which I got from a recent Tanya Burr video which is to use bronzer as an eyeshadow to warm up the skin and look really natural. Like Tanya I have the Bourjois chocolate bronzer which I sweeped over my lids and then along my lower lash line. As we were keeping this makeup look really simple I then left my eyeshadow at that. I used a brown eye liner pencil to then outline the whole of my eye really lightly. I had never actually tried this before but I think it really makes the eyes too bigger and brighter. And I would definitely stick to brown as it is a lot more natural that black, don't press too hard and try to keep the mine as thin as possible. I then curled my eyelashes using my No7 curlers and then did a few strokes of my Clinique high impact mascara. 

To complete the look I decided not to fill my eyebrows in but just set them in place using the collection clear mascara. I then used the same bronzer to define my cheekbones (or lack of!) and warm up the rest on my face. To finish I applied a tiny amount of Rimmel soft colour blush in pink rose to my cheeks and my Deluxe lipstick in the shade 03 Charleston. 

So I hope you this post. Let me know if you would like to see more makeup looks in the comments below. I'm not the most out there or experimental when it comes to make up but I do like to try out new looks and see what I thing works. So hopefully there will be more of these types of posts in the future. xx

And because I have barely been leaving the house most days I have just been in lounge pants with a top knot and no makeup. However yesterday I went out for lunch with a friend that I have know since I was about 3 for a catch up. Going days without doing my makeup actually make me even more excited to finally get to sit in front of the mirror. But as this was only a lunch date and it was sunny I wanted a look that was really natural and light on my skin. This look is very similar to the makeup that I wear to school and I love how quick and easy it is to do. 

Firstly I used a small amount of my Clinique sample moisturiser all over my face to prep my skin. Afterwards I used my Rimmel London matte BB cream on my skin as a light cover up. I fell in love with this stuff from my first use but I don't want to talk anymore about it now as I think it really deserves it's own blog post! Then I concealed a few blemishes, spot scars and my dark circles with my favourite concealer which is the Collection lasting perfection concealer. Which reminds me, have you guys read my last blog post on how to reduce dark circles, if not you can check it out here. 

Afterwards I used a tip which I got from a recent Tanya Burr video which is to use bronzer as an eyeshadow to warm up the skin and look really natural. Like Tanya I have the Bourjois chocolate bronzer which I sweeped over my lids and then along my lower lash line. As we were keeping this makeup look really simple I then left my eyeshadow at that. I used a brown eye liner pencil to then outline the whole of my eye really lightly. I had never actually tried this before but I think it really makes the eyes too bigger and brighter. And I would definitely stick to brown as it is a lot more natural that black, don't press too hard and try to keep the mine as thin as possible. I then curled my eyelashes using my No7 curlers and then did a few strokes of my Clinique high impact mascara. 

To complete the look I decided not to fill my eyebrows in but just set them in place using the collection clear mascara. I then used the same bronzer to define my cheekbones (or lack of!) and warm up the rest on my face. To finish I applied a tiny amount of Rimmel soft colour blush in pink rose to my cheeks and my Deluxe lipstick in the shade 03 Charleston. 

So I hope you this post. Let me know if you would like to see more makeup looks in the comments below. I'm not the most out there or experimental when it comes to make up but I do like to try out new looks and see what I thing works. So hopefully there will be more of these types of posts in the future. xx
