New Favourite Jumper

New Favourite Jumper

I thought that it was about time that I shared with you the jumper that I have basically been living in for the last week. I spotted it last weekend and immediately fell in love. It is the perfect combination of everything I love. A soft slouchy jumper, pale grey, a crew neckline, and navy and white stripes. 

I am really loving H&M right now, they have some really lovely pieces that look really expensive. I am also all about a more minimal style of dressing at the moment. So this jumper with this simple layered gold necklace also from H&M and some skinny jeans has become my everyday uniform. 

Hope you liked this little post. Let me know what you think of this more minimal style. Speak soon xx

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! 

It's finally Halloween and I am super excited! Tonight I am going out with some of my friends from my house to an event at the Student Union. It's carnival themed which should be really cool. I am going to dress up as one of those creepy Mexican dolls from Dia de los muerte. So hopefully the face paint will look okay. I will try and take some pictures for you all if I can. 

I thought that I would share with you some of my Halloween essentials. Firstly these super cute cat shoes! I always bring these out around this time of year. They remind me of the beautiful Charlotte Olympia ones. Another essential is my L'Oreal Elnett hairspray, the gold one. I have used this for year and I never reach for any other hairspray. I use this not only to keep my hair in place (might be doing a bit of back combing tonight!) but also once I ave finished my makeup I spray a bit of this to help everything last even longer. Like a makeup spray.

Something else that I always bring out this time of year is my Essie nail polish in the Shade Belugaria. It's a black nail polish with really big bit of black glitter in so when on the nails it gives a really textures effect. Very Halloween! 

For me, dark lips on Halloween are a must! Although this time of year even during the day I love a bit of a berry lip shade. My favourite dark lip colour is Rimmel lasting finish lipstick in Starry Eyed. This is a gorgeous dark purply berry shade that lasts on the lips for ages. The other lip colour for this time of year is a black. Much bold, but it can still look amazing. The one I have here is just a cheap one but it is very black and goes almost matte which helps it to last. Another look that you can go for is a combination of the two colours in an ombre look. I did this last year for Halloween and it looked really effective. You can check out the pictures that I took here. 

So I hope that whatever you are doing tonight you have a lovely Halloween! Next we have Bonfire Night and then Christmas!! I can't even contain my excitement, I love this time of year! xx

YSL Le Teint Touche Éclat Foundation

YSL Le Teint Touche Éclat Foundation

So I may have found my perfect foundation. And it is beautiful.

I had read so many blogposts raving about this product, but is is hard to know just from some pictures whether something is going to work for you. But when a close friend told me how amazing it was and I could see it in person it gave me the final push to make the purchase. Thankfully I did have some gift vouchers left over from my birthday. I am a student after all! 

Buying a nice foundation, or any expensive makeup is not really something you want to rush into. You need to be sure that the texture and colour are right so that you don't end up wasting money on something that looks beautiful on the dressing table but serves no purpose in your makeup bag. 

Once I had decided that I wanted to try out the foundation I went to a YSL counter in House of Fraser where I was colour matched by a professional. I was then given a little sample bottle of my shade free of charge to test out over the next few days. As it turns out my summer holiday tan faded quicker that I had hoped and less than two weeks later the sample shade was slightly too dark. So I went back to the counter where I was colour matched again to my perfect shade, Beige Rose BR30. 

Being able to try the foundation out and make sure I was picking my perfect shade made finally handing over my card a whole lot easier. I knew I was buying something that I loved and would use. 

The foundation itself is a lovely light texture that looks so natural. I love that it covers blemishes and makes my skin look clear and healthy but you can still see my little freckles on my nose! Its dewy is so easy to blend with a brush or a beauty blender. This is also the first foundation that I own that I have properly been colour matched too. Having the perfect shade for my skin really does make sure a difference in the final appearance of the foundation. 

And I have use this a lot. Nearly everyday probably. And it is the only thing I will use for the evening or a night out. 

I don't usually wear foundations or anything too heavy on my skin during the daytime as I like to let my skin breathe as much as possible. But I have been reaching for this foundation on days where my skin is playing up a bit or I just need that extra confidence boost. It looks so light and natural, you can't really tell I am wearing anything. And for the evenings I apply a bit more and after a whole night of dancing it will still look perfect!

Simple Layering

Simple Layering 

This is the perfect outfit for everyday. Simple, comfy layers in a neutral colour palette. I love the pretty scoop neckline of this top and how it has the subtle flecks running though it. This cardigan I recently bought from Primark although I think it looks a lot more expensive. I saw one recently that I thought was very similar from Reiss. This has the long slouchy style but with the slim fit 3/4 sleeves. 

I also layered with my ASOS beige coat, I love the smart tailored style of this and how it adds to the neutral colour palette of this outfit. Finally I finished the look of with my delicate elephant necklace. 

Hope you liked this casual outfit. I love this simple style with all of the neutrals, and of course a pair of good skinny jeans and my beige slip ons. Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. Speak soon xx
