New Years Makeup Look

Since it's New Years Eve, I thought it would be pretty fitting to share with you my New Years Eve Makeup Look. I asked on Instagram if you wanted to see this and quite few of you said yes, so here you go!!

Base
So to start off with I'm going to use Benefit's Porefessional as my Primer as it is amazing and keeps my makeup on for a really long time. I'm then going to move onto Foundation and Concealer, and these are of course my MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation and Mineralize Concealer. To set my base I'm going to use my holy grail Powder which is Rimmel Stay Matte and of course you're going to need this if you're dancing around and getting sweaty!!

Face
Now that I have set my base, I'm going to move onto Blush (I decided not to bronze my face for this look!!) The Blush I'm going to use is the Ted Baker Highlight and Blush Trio, which I got in a set for Christmas. I'm going to use the lightest pink blush at the top and then add my highlight which is from the same palette and I'm going to use the middle shade.

Eyes
For my Eye Look I decided to go with something a little bit different than my usual look. I'm going to use my Kiko Palette as I feel like I never really use it. So to start off with I'm going to use the shade 212, which is a gorgeous shimmery brown, all over my lid. I'm then going to apply 211 into my crease and then blend it down. Next I'm using 225, which is such a pretty pink colour and I'm going to work this into my outer corner. Finally I'm going to use 200, which is a white and I'm using this as a highlight for my inner corner and brow bone.

Next I'm going to apply some Eyeliner and the brand I'm using is again Ted Baker. This eyeliner is just a simple jet black one and I'm simply going to wing it out. For my Lashes I'm firstly going to start off by curling them with my Rose Gold Eyelash Curlers from Ted Baker. Moving onto Mascara I'm using two and they are Benefit's Bad Gal Lash and Clinique's High Impact Mascara. These two look gorgeous together and make my lashes look super defined. For my Brows, I'm just using my trusty Gimme Brow from Benefit to fill them in and make them stand out a little more.

Lips
Finally for my Lips, I'm going to apply one of favourite lipsticks which is the Rimmel Kate Moss in 107 as I feel like this is a perfect party lipstick and also it brings the whole look together!!

So that's my New Years Eve Party Look, I hope this gave you some inspo if you're struggling for a look. If you do create a look similar to mine, please send me a pic on Instagram as I'd love to see how it looks on all of you!!

Also really quickly I want to wish you all an amazing New Year and Thankyou for all your support during 2015, I can't wait to see what 2016 brings!!

How To Get To Sleep On Christmas Eve | 12DaysOfBlogmas

Since it's Christmas Eve tomorrow, I thought I would share with you some tips on getting to sleep on Christmas Eve. Now if you're anything like me, you go to bed early on Christmas Eve thinking you'll sleep through till morning. But in reality you end up waking up 2 hours later and not being able to get to sleep until about 3-4 hours later!!

1. Have A Hot Bath
This is one tip I always do every Christmas Eve, because it makes me feel a little sleepy. I usually treat myself to a Lush bath and watch a little bit of Youtube. I would usually spend about an hour in the bath to make sure I fully feel sleepy.

2. Make A Hot Drink 
Just like the Hot Bath this tip will also make you feel sleepy. I would definitely recommend Hot Chocolate with some cream (Because it is Christmas Eve after all!!) You could also add some sprinkles as well. Having this up in your room will add to the sleepy atmosphere!!

3. Read A Book
This tip helps me feel super sleepy because your only focusing on words on a page and after awhile your eyes will tend to get tired. I love to read Christmas books on Christmas Eve because it gets me feeling super excited!!

So those were a few tips on How To Get To Sleep on Christmas Eve, I hope these help you if you're one of those who tends top pull all-nighters on Christmas Eve.

Christmas Wishlist | 12DaysOfBlogmas

Since Christmas is only 3 DAYS AWAY!!!!! I thought I'd talk you through my Christmas Wishlist. I've seen a lot of posts like this and personally their one of my favourite post's to read. Please don't think I'm bragging if I receive any of these things I will be super grateful!!


1. Urban Decay Naked Palette 
I can't even begin to describe how gorgeous this palette is!! If you're a makeup lover like myself you will know what  I'm talking about!! The original Naked Palette is full of super pretty neutral colours, and I cannot even begin  to think about how many makeup looks I can make using this!!

2. Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick In Bond Girl
I have been wanting a Charlotte Tilbury lipstick for such along time, ever sine I read one of Zoe's blogposts I've been obsessed with them. One that caught my eye was Bond Girl as this is such a pretty nude colour. Also the packaging is to die for!!!

3. Timberlands 
I have been obsessed with Timberlands recently and I love how pretty they look with outfits. Every single girl who wears them always manages to look amazing!!! If I was to get a pair of Timberlands for Christmas I would honestly be super happy!!

4. Sprinkle Of Glitter Diary By Louise Pentland 
Ever since Louise released her first book, Life With A Sprinkle Of Glitter, I have been reading it all the time!! So when she announced that she was releasing a diary I was so excited!!! I love getting new diaries at the beginning of the year and this is the one I would like this year as the pages also have cute little activities on which make it look super exciting!!!

5. Ari By Ariana Grande Perfume 
Finally one other thing o my wishlist is the Ari By Ariana Grande Perfume. I first smelt his a few days after it first cam out and I fell in love with it!! It has a super girly and sweet scent. Also the packaging is so cute and is super WeHeartIt.

So that's my Christmas Wishlist, I hope you guys enjoyed and maybe this has given you some inspiration for your Wishlist? Once again please don't think I'm bragging as like I said I would be so so grateful to receive any of these things.

Winter OOTD | Collab with BooksandBeautyx | 12DaysOfBlogmas

I've only ever done one other OOTD post before and I absolutely loved doing it. The whole process was so fun that I have decided to do it again!! Today I'm going to be sharing with you a Winter OOTD that I have been loving to wear.

Also this post is a collab with BooksandBeautyx, so make sure you go check out her post and find out what her Winter OOTD is!!!

So firstly my Ribbed Crop Top is from New Look. I love the colour of this top as I think it looks super cute and festive!! I paired this top with my Furry Gilet from Primark, I haven't worn this many times but I thought it looked really nice with the outfit so I decided to wear it. (Plus it's super warm and cosy!!)

Next I have my Leggings which are from Topshop, these leggings are so comfy and super soft, plus they give a really nice relaxed vibe to the whole outfit. I also wore my all time favourite Boots, from Pull&Bear. These are so comfy and keep my feet nice and warm.

Finally my Bag is from New Look, however I bought it a couple of years ago now so unfortunately it is no longer available. When picking out my bag for this outfit I thought this one matched perfectly because it has all the colours of my outfit in!!

So that's my Winter OOTD, I hope you enjoyed this post and maybe it gave you some outfit inspiration. Like I said in my last OOTD post I will definitely be doing more of these!!

Christmas Pamper Routine | 12DaysOfBlogmas

Pamper nights are an essential for me, especially at the end of a super hard school week!! However I do love Winter nights and what better to spend one doing then pampering myself? For today's post I thought I would share with you some of the things I love to do on a pamper evening!! :)

Firstly I like to start by running myself a super hot bath, I'll usually use a LUSH product too. Today I opted for a little bit of Candy Mountain, once my bath is run I'll get in it and watch some YouTube. I also use Snow Fairy to wash myself with, because it smells super nice and Christmassy!! 

Once I'm out of the bath, I'll put on my pj's and start my skincare routine ( I have a post coming up very soon sharing this with you!!) Once that's completed I'll go downstairs and make myself a nice warm drink and go and watch some more YouTube!! 

By this time I start to feel pretty sleepy so I usually get into bed and watch some tv or go on my phone. Once I start to feel tired I switch off my phone and go to sleep. 

So that's my pamper routine, I hope you guys enjoyed and maybe this post has given you some inspiration for your own pamper night? 

Winter Morning Routine | 12DaysOfBlogmas

Now you typically see Morning/Night routines on YouTube, but today I thought I would share with you my Winter Morning Routine but using writing instead of clips. :) 

I usually wake up around 8:30am, (sometimes this doesn't always go to plan) once I've woken up I'll turn on my TV and find something to watch. Then I like to check all my social media on my phone and then I end up just scrolling through Instagram for about 30 minutes. 

At around 9am I usually get up and get dressed and then do my hair and makeup. It usually takes me about 20 minutes to do all of this and then I will just tidy up my room and make my bed. 

By this time I am usually super hungry so I head downstairs and get myself a bowl of cereal. I like to catch up on YouTube whilst eating my breakfast, so I'll scroll through my subscription box until a video catches my eye. 

Once I've finished my breakfast I head back upstairs and brush my teeth. After that if I'm going out I'll start to get ready.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post, even though you may find me strange, mornings are one of my favourite times of the day!! 

Christmas Gift Guide For Girls | Collab With Emsi Rose | 12DaysOfBlogmas

So if you read my blog daily , you will know that I shared a Stocking Stuffer Ideas with you a couple of posts ago. Well for today's post I am going to be sharing with you a Gift Guide for those bigger presents you may want to give!! :)

1. Lush Gift Sets
If you're an absolute Lushaholic like me, you will know that at this time of the year Lush have some of the most amazing Christmas sets. These make perfect gifts for you friends as you can really make them personal by buying a set with some of their favourite bath products in.

2. Makeup
For any girly girl, buying makeup can never be a wrong choice, again this would be perfect for your friends as you may be able to buy them products they have been wanting to try for awhile. Also you could buy some High-End products for those your closer to including your: Mum, Sister, Auntie, Cousin or Best Friend.

3. Coffee Table Books
Coffee Table Books are perfect for those people who love reading but also have a love for WeHeartIt. I absolutely love Coffee Table Books, one of my favourite books is the Lauren Conrad Beauty Book, this is one you definitely see all over WeHeartIt.

4. Jewellery
I feel like their are some amazing brands recently that are coming out with super pretty pieces of jewellery. One of my favourite shops is Topshop because their jewellery looks so much more expensive then what actually is.

5. Perfume
One final idea for a present could be Perfume. This would be a good idea for your Mum or someone you know really well as you know what scent and brand of perfume they would like. It could also be a sentimental present because you could be buy them the perfume they wore when something special happened to them.

So I hope this post gave you some ideas for Christmas presents. This post was also a collab with the wonderful Emsi Rose so make sure you check out her blog, because her posts are amazing!!!

Christmas Decorations Haul 2015 | 12DaysOfBlogmas

It might be a bit early to be decorating our houses for Christmas, but it's never too early too buy Christmas decorations, is it? I went to Wilko's a couple of weeks ago and completely freaked out when I saw their Christmas decorations!!! I decided to buy some to put on my tree that I have in my room. All together the haul came to £6.75, which is a really good price because I got some gorgeous decorations!!!

So the first three decorations that I picked up were all copper. I have a new obsession with copper things, I'd mainly like to thank Zoe Sugg, for introducing me to this gorgeous colour!! I was honestly so excited when I spotted a whole box of Copper decorations!!

The first one that I picked up is this geometric diamond. I really liked the look of this one because I can use it for Christmas but I can also use it all year round so I thought it was really cute and a really good price at only £1.50. All the copper decorations that I picked up have a piece of wool that you can hang them with, I thought this was really cute and a little bit different to the traditional piece of ribbon.

I then picked up this really cute little Christmas tree, this one was only 50p which I think is such a cheap price!! I am definitely going to be putting this on my tree because I cant get over how cute it looks.

The final copper decoration that I picked up was this really pretty wired one. I don't think that its made of wire but it looks like it. It's really pretty and different to any other bauble I have. this one was again £1.50. I'm just in love with it and again I can use it all year round!! :)

Next up I decided to pick up a few random decorations. The first one I picked up was this gorgeous handmade glass bauble. My mum actually spotted this one and when she showed it to me I fell in love with it. I love the little dots of colour I think they make it look really pretty!!! This one was also £1.50, but looks so much more expensive!!

The next decorations that I picked up were these glitter icicles. These were only a £1 for 8 of them and I think these will look so cute dotted around my Christmas tree and I just love them so much!!!

Finally the last decoration that I picked up was this plain bauble. I really liked this one because I love the way it shines in the light and looks almost pearlescent!! I'll definitely be picking up more of these baubles because they will look so cute on my tree!! This one was only 75p so once again really cheap!!

So that was my Christmas Decorations Haul, I really hope you guys enjoyed this post I can tell you now I will definitely be buying some more decorations from Wilko's because the quality is amazing!!!

Stocking Stuffer Ideas For Girls | 12DaysOfBlogmas

 

If you're one of those people who still has a Stocking or you know someone who still uses a Stocking, then you'll understand the pure excitement you get of opening up your Stocking first thing on Christmas Morning!! Today I thought that I would share with you some Stocking Stuffer Ideas either for your own lists or for someone else. Also this post is great to read if you don't have a lot of money to spend as none of these things are over £15.

Here are a few ideas that you get your friends or family for Christmas, what's great is you can still get amazing presents without breaking your bank!! :)

1.MAC Lipsticks
This Stocking Stuffer would definitely be for someone your close to like: your mum, sister or best friend. Even though MAC Lipsticks are slightly on the more pricier side, they are such amazing quality lipsticks and there is such a large amount of colour choice for you to pick from!!

2.Gift Cards
Equally if you still want to buy something really nice , but don't know what to buy, you can always get a Gift Card, that way the person who you're buying for can pick out their own products and you've still contributed.

3.Candles
You definitely cant go wrong with buying a girl a candle. There are so many amazing brands around that it would be super easy to find a scent they liked. A good to brand for candles is definitely Yankee Candle, they sell amazing scents, especially at Christmas time!, and they are really affordable to buy!!! Obviously for a stocking you would have to buy a votive, but this could be a great way for someone to try out a few candles they have wanted to try for a while.

4. Homeware
I know that if I was given little pieces of homeware for Christmas I would be super happy!! This is an especially great idea to buy for someone who may be doing up their bedroom or who have recently moved into a new house. Or you could simply buy someone you know a  nice little ornament if their into decorating their room (like me!!)

5. Sweets
So for my final idea I thought I would talk about one of the most obvious things for a stocking... SWEETS!! This is especially good for a friend's stocking that you may be putting together as there are endless possibilities and you can make it really personal for someone by including their favourite sweets.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post and you now have some ideas for some stocking fillers. I would be super grateful to receive any of these in my stocking, and I hope you would be too!! :)

Christmas Q&A | 12DaysOfBlogmas

Q&A's will forever be one of my all time favourite blogposts to write. Since I am in a fully Christmassy mood I thought I would answer some questions about my favourite time of the year!! I posted a picture on Instagram last week asking you guys for some Christmas questions, and I got quite a few so for todays Blogmas post, I'm going to be answering your questions!!!

What Is Your Favourite Part of Christmas?- @floral.photographer

My favourite part of Christmas would definitely have to be the build up top it. Don't get me wrong I love getting all excited on Christmas Eve, but definitely the build up is the best. Because you can decorate your room, sing Christmas songs, watch Christmas films and so much more!! So yep the build up to Christmas is definitely my favourite part!!

Favourite Christmas Memory?- @fabulouslyfloral

This is such a hard question to answer but definitely one of my favourite Christmas memories was last year when it was my cousins first Christmas so we got to spend it with him and it was really nice!!

What are you hoping to receive this Christmas a s a gift?- @petitroses

This Christmas I'm really hoping to receive the Urban Decay Naked Palette as I think it is so gorgeous!! But even if I don't receive it I'll still be happy because Christmas isn't all about the presents!! :)

Favourite Christmas Song?- @scarletjo._

My favourite Christmas song is definitely 'All I Want For Christmas' by Mariah Carey

Favourite food out of Christmas Dinner?- @x.grace.holly.x

This is another hard question but I would probably have to say Turkey (obviously) and my Grandma's Mash Potato because its' so nice!!!

Favourite thing on a Christmas Card?- @all.things.pink.xx

I'm not entirely sure what this question means. But if I was to put my favourite thing on a Christmas card it would definitely be a Fawn. Because I am obsessed with Fawns so much!!!

What's your favourite Christmas Decoration?- @blossomanddaisyy

My favourite Christmas decoration would probably have to be the one I made in Nursery, it's currently up in the attic so I cant get it down but that's definitely my favourite and we hang it on the bug Christmas Tree downstairs and it brings back lots of memories!!

Do you still have a stocking?- @MeetMeInMelford

Yes! Me and my brother still have stockings that we hang on the fireplace on Christmas Eve. It's usually the first thing we look in on Christmas Morning!!

So that was my Christmas Q&A, I really hope you enjoyed and don't forget to follow the wonderful people who gave me these questions.

Christmas Makeup Look | 12DaysofBlogmas

Because it's the Holiday Season, I can guarantee that most of you will be attending some sort of Christmas Party whether that be just with your family or maybe just some friends. Or maybe your struggling to come up with a look for Christmas Day? Today I thought I would share with you a Christmas Makeup look that you could use for parties or just Christmas Day itself. 

So firstly starting with the base, I like to use my all time favourite primer which is Maybelinne's Baby Skin. Once this is blended in I apply my all time favourite foundation which is MAC's Studio Fix Fluid, then I'll apply my concealer which is MAC's Mineralized Concealer, this is really good because it conceals and highlights all in one. After that I'll set my base with the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, this is good because when your dancing at your Christmas parties, your more than likely to get a bit sweaty, so having a mattifying powder on hand is always good!! 

By this time I'm probably looking a bit pale, so I'll use the Sleek Contour Kit  in Light. I love this kit because the contour colour isn't too orange for my skin tone and can be used for both bronzing and contouring. Next up I'll use my Sleek Blush in Rose Gold, this blush gives a super natural flush and has little gold specks in so is perfect for the Holiday season. Finally I'll apply Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl Highlighter, this one is definitely more of a party highlighter and is a gorgeous pearly pink colour. Matched with the blush it looks absolutely heavenly!! 

Moving into eyes I'm going to firstly use my Naked 2 Palette. I have a post up already about my favourite look created with Naked 2, using Bootycall and Tease however, to make it a bit more Christmassy and Party ready I'm going to blend in a bit of Busted into my crease, mixed in with Tease. Then I'll apply Eyeliner, I only ever wear eyeliner at this time of the year anyways, so having eyeliner on really completes this look. My favourite eyeliner has to be Soap & Glory's Supercat. For Mascara, I'm going to use my two favourites at the moment. The first one being Benefit's Roller Lash, I like to use this one first because it curls my lashes really easily , I'll then pair it with Clinique's High Impact Mascara, this one makes my lashes look so much longer and honestly it looks like I'm wearing false lashes when the pair are out together!! Moving onto my Brows, I'll use Benefit's Gimme Brow, this product is amazing and makes filling out my brows so much easier!! Also without my brows done, I think my makeup look wouldn't be complete!! Finally I'm going to be applying my current favourite Christmassy Lipstick, (unfortunately I forgot to include it on the picture!!) My choice of lipstick is of course Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 107, the colour of this lipstick for me is such a traditional red colour and I love it!!! 

So that's my Christmas Makeup Look for 2015, I really hope you guys enjoyed and hopefully I've given you some ideas for your Christmas look this year, whether it's for a party or Christmas Day. 

No More Blogmas? And Exciting News | 12 Days Of Blogmas

Yes, you have read the title right, I am not going to be doing anymore full December Blogmas. If you follow me on Instagram you may know why, but if you haven't seen the post I'll explain it to you now. Basically, I was originally so excited for Blogmas and I hoped it would get me back into blogging, in fact it hasn't it's made me more stressed with my blog than ever before. At first I had a lot of posts planned out and drafted to a high quality, but as it got later into December I didn't have any posts ready and I had to rush with pictures and the actual posts themselves. So as you may have seen I have deleted all my posts from Blogmas and I'm going to start a fresh this month.

Now onto the exciting news, (well it might not be that exciting for you) but for those of you who may have read the first paragraph closely will have realised I will not be doing any more Full December Blogmas, I have however decided to do '12 Days Of Blogmas' this is where from the 12th to the 24th I will be doing a Christmassy blogposts, this will be so much easier for me as I finish school on the 18th which means there will be clearer pictures and better quality writing. I also have this weekend to write posts for it as well.

I'm sorry for such a long and wordy post but I honestly felt like I couldn't continue anymore with Blogmas. Hopefully I'll e able to keep up with this one :) The posts will begin on Saturday and will be uploaded at 5pm UK Time.

Room Decor Ideas for Autumn 2015

So since Autumn is in full swing and all the leaves begin to fall of the trees. I thought it would be a good idea to autumnify? my room. I loved how they look so much that I thought I would share it with you guys.

Leaves
I absolutely love the colours of the leaves during Autumn, so much that I wanted to put some up in my room. I didn't really want to use dirty ones from outside, so instead I bought some from a local craft store and hung them on my wall and they look so cute. Plus it instantly makes my room feel so cosy!!

Fairy Lights
Even though I have fairy lights hung around my room all year round. I always like to get another set of plain lights that I can just hang around my room. I actually hang my leaves inbetween the fairy lights and at night it looks so cute!!!

Candles
Duh who doesn't love candles? I never really have that many candles around my room during the year, but once it gets to Autumn I could literally open up my own candle store (hehe) I just think they look so cute and make my room super cosy. My favourite candle brand definitely has to be Yankee Candle because their candles smell amazing, they have a huge range of scents for Autumn and top all that off they have the cutest pictures on the jar.

Pumpkins
Obviously I don't keep real pumpkins in my room, however quite a few years ago now my mum got some light up pumpkins form Tesco's or something and I was hooked on how they looked in my room and I've been using them ever since!! Its a really good way to decorate your room for both Halloween and Autumn, and the good thing is they don't end up smelling really bad!! (ughh)

Halloween Decorations
One of the main events that happens during Autumn is of course Halloween!! I always love being able to get out all my Halloween decorations for my room!! Again obviously I have my Pumpkins but I have other things as well like a hanging Witch. Some Supermarkets have really cool décor pieces for Halloween for super cheap prices, so if you don't have any Halloween décor I would definitely recommend you check out your local Supermarket!!

So those were a few ways to spice up your room for Autumn, I hope this helped some of you, if you too want to Autumnify your room!! I really enjoy doing these sorts of posts, so comment down below if you'd like Room Décor Ideas for Winter and Christmas!!!

"What's your favourite thing about Autumn?"

My MAC Lipstick Collection ♡

MAC is quite possibly my all time favourite High-End makeup brand. The quality and pigmentation of their products are amazing!! Their lipsticks are probably my fave thing from MAC and I now have 5, I know to some people it may not seem like a big collection, but I'm very grateful for them all.

♡ New York Apple 

This is a lipstick colour that I wouldn't normally go for, it's a really pretty dark red with purple undertones. This is a perfect colour for Autumn and Winter. New York Apple is a Frost lipstick and applys really creamily!!

♡ Angel

Angel is possibly one of my all time favourite colours in my collection. I'm a pink girl at heart so most of my MAC lippies are pink!! Angel is another Frost lipstick and again applys really creamily.

♡ Creme Cup

Another pink colour that I own is Creme Cup, this one is slightly lighter than Angel and even though a lot of people claim that Cremesheens don't have much colour for me it's still a really pretty pale pink. Like I said Creme Cup is a Cremesheen and again applys really nicely. 

♡ Pink Plaid 

The final pink lipstick in my collection is Pink Plaid. This is the newest addition to my collection and is my favourite at the moment. Pink Plaid is a really pretty dark pink with a purple undertones, this makes a really nice autumnal pink colour. Pink Plaid is a matte and for me I prefer MAC's Matte Lipsticks over many of my Drugstore mattes, this is because their really creamy and not drying at all. 

♡ Velvet Teddy

My final MAC lipstick is possibly my favourite out of all of them. Velvet Teddy was my first MAC lipstick and kind of started off my whole obsession!! Velvet Teddy is a really nice dark nude and has light brick red undertones to it. Again this lipstick is a Matte and is not drying at all. 

So that's my MAC Lipstick Collection, I hope you enjoyed reading it and maybe I've parted some inspiration into you on what your first or maybe even next MAC Lipstick will be! 

Fashion | My Topshop Autumn Fashion Wishlist 2015 // Collab WithEnlightGirl

Now that Autumn is

fully upon us, it's only right to buy some autumnal fashion pieces. Today I thought I'd share with you my Topshop  Autumn Fashion Wishlist. This is also a collab with EnlightGirl, so make sure to read her post too.

One of my all time favourite shops is Topshop, I find they have really nice things in at this time of the year! :)

Checked Shirt

So the first piece on my wishlist is a Mustard Checked Shirt. Now Mustard may not sound the most prettiest of colours, but it looks absolutely gorgeous on this shirt. The shirt also has small bits of browns and creams so they really make it look pulled together. The shirt itself costs £30.

Classic Wool Fedora Hat

I absolutely loved the look of these last year but I never bought one. I guess it's probably because I'd never know when to wear it. However this one I find really suits me so I'll definitely be picking this up. The hat is £22

MA1 Bomber Jacket

This has to be one of my favourite th8ings ever from Topshop. It's so pretty and I think it would be really nice for those days when it's not cold but not too warm either. This jacket is £55

 

So that's my Topshop Autumn Wishlist so far, all together it comes too £107, which obviously I don't have right now!! But I'm definitely going to be saving up!!

 

P.S: It's finally time for my Halloween Series to start, so that will begin on Wednesday (MUCH EXCITEMENT!!!)

My Autumn Favourites | Collab with Its-Not-Synx

I think I've probably mentioned this before, but Autumn is one of my all time favourite seasons!! I just love it so much because everything becomes a lot cosier and autumnal colours in my opinion are absolutely gorgeous!!! Today I thought I would talk to you about my Autumn favourites, this is also a collab with the lovely its-just-snyx.blogspot she will be posting her Autumn favourites on Friday so make sure you check it out. 

So I'll start of firstly with makeup. So my first autumnal favourite would definitely have to be a berry or nude lip. (Because what's Autumn without these) Also I don't know what I do if I didn't have my Naked 2 palette because the colours in the palette are gorgeous and perfect for Autumn (I've written a blogposts on an eye look I have created with my Naked 2 palette so make sure you check it out!!) My final makeup favourite blushes, I think that blush looks really pretty at this time f the year because it gives you a really nice autumnal flushed look.

Next I'll move onto fashion. Firstly I definitely at all times have to be wearing my tartan scarf!! I just think that it pulls the whole outfit together and keeps you super cosy. (I've also written a blogposts on my autumn OOTD, so check that out as well if you want!!)  Also I have to have my coat on as well because it just instantly makes me feel so much more autumnal and keeps me so warm!! Next up what is Autumn without a few cosy jumpers? These are definitely my favourite things to wear during the Autumn because you can quickly put them on with leggings and your outfit looks instantly put together. Finally what would an autumn be without cosy socks? Again these are my favourite and as I'm writing this post I'm actually wearing a pair now!! :)

So my final category is probably my favourite because if you've read my blog for awhile you probably know that I'm obsessed over cute room décor (Once again I have a post about this on my blog too!!) Autumn is my favourite time to get cute room décor (aside from Winter) because I love the colours and also Halloween décor is out as well!! One of my favourite things to decorate my room with during Autumn is Fairy Lights, because I think they instantly add cuteness and cosiness to my room. Also I love having little bursts of autumnal colours around m room to instantly spruce it up a bit. Finally I love to buy new ornaments that are autumn inspired because the colours are gorgeous!!

So those were my Autumn Favourites, I hope you guys enjoyed, and don't forget to check out its-not-synx 's post too because I'm sure it will be amazing!!

Autumn OOTD

Autumn is one of my favourite seasons for fashion because it becomes super cosy and the autumn colours for clothes are gorgeous!! I thought today I'd share with you an Autumn OOTD post because I have recently picked up a few new fashion bits and I put them all together into one outfit and it is my absolute favourite outfit at the moment!!

 

 

So firstly my coat is from Topshop and I think its called the Slim Pocket Coat and its a really pretty camel colour. I've been loving the colour Camel recently because I think its so pretty for this time of the year. Next up my scarf is from River Island and its just the usual tartan colours, personally I think it looks really pretty with the coat because it adds a bit of colour to the outfit. Then my white top is again from Topshop, this is a just a really simple white crop top and can be layered underneath everything!! I really like how it looks with this outfit because it still keeps to the really nice neutral autumnal look. My high waisted black leggings are also from Topshop and they're just plain black but I think they pull the outfit together and they just look really nice. (Plus their super comfy too!!) My bag is from Michael Kors, and is super pretty and perfect for this time of the year because it just adds that little something extra to the outfit. Moving onto my socks, these are from Dorothy Perkins and are a really pretty autumnal red colour. Finally my boots are from Pull&Bear, these are my absolute favourite pair of boots I think they look really pretty and complete the look really well. Also they keep my feet super warm!!

So that was my Autumn OOTD, I really hope you guys enjoyed this post, because I really enjoyed putting this post together, and I will definitely be doing more of these!!

Beauty | My Top 5 Autumn Lipsticks

Autumn is definitely one of my favourite times of the year, especially when it comes to lips. Today I thought I would share with you my top 5 Autumn lip colours and also maybe give you guys some ideas for lipsticks if you're struggling to find a good one for Autumn time!! :)

MAC Lip Liner in Hover: £12.50
I absolutely love lip liners for Autumn especially when I'm wearing a darker or bolder lip because I feel like spending those extra few minutes lining your lips really does make the difference to your makeup look. However I also like to use just lip liner and one of my favourite colours to do this with is MAC's Hover. This is a gorgeous dark brown shade (you could say it's the perfect match to Velvet Teddy) I really like wearing Hover with a nice neutral eye look, because they goes perfectly together and create a gorgeous Autumnal  makeup look.

MAC Matte Lipstick in Velvet Teddy: £15.50
Next up is another MAC product. Velvet Teddy is quite possibly my all time favourite Autumnal lipstick. Its a really pretty dark brown (like I said earlier its very similar to Hover) I also think the lipstick itself has some orange undertones to it which I really like. Again I would wear this lipstick with a neutral eye look and probably a little bit of eyeliner. Another thing I like about this lipstick is that it is matte, but is not drying for me personally.

MUA Sweet Sheen Lip Balm in Cherry Bomb: £2.50
Even though I do like my high end lipsticks, sometimes it just doesn't beat drugstore lippies. Earlier in the year I picked up one of the new MUA Sweet Sheens in the shade Cherry Bomb because I thought it would be perfect for Autumn time. I guess you could say the Sweet Sheens are very similar to Maybelline's Baby Lips however personally I think they are a lot more pigmented but not as moisturising . Anyways going back onto the lip product itself the colour is a gorgeous Cherry, but its not too bright so can be worn as an everyday colour or built up for a night look.

Topshop Lipstick in Naturist: £8.00
This lipstick was actually my first makeup product from Topshop and I can tell you that I will definitely be buying more from the Topshop Makeup Range because all the colours are insanely pigmented. The one I have is in the shade Naturist, its a gorgeous nude colour with some slight purple undertones. Unlike my two MAC lip products I would definitely pair this lipstick with a dramatic smokey eye because I feel like it would complement the eye look really well!!

Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in Eastend Snob: £3.99
My final lip product is another from the Drugstore and I cannot even explain how much I have been wanting this liner in the shade Eastend Snob. I've been on the lookout for that perfect pinky nude colour for a while and I've finally found it with this liner. Its a super pretty dark pinky nude perfect for Autumn time. Again like the Topshop Lipstick I would definitely pair it with a really pretty smokey eye.

So those are my Top 5 Autumn Lipsticks, and I'll definitely be wearing these throughout the Autumn time. I hope that if you were struggling to find that perfect Autumnal lip colour I have sort of in a way helped you by sharing with you some of my fave and if not I hope you enjoyed this post because I definitely enjoyed writing it!!! :)

Beauty | Autumn Essenstials // Collab With GracexKate

It's the first official day of Autumn today!! Which means it's only right to share with you my Autumn Essentials. This is also a collab GracexKate.BlogSpot.co.uk so make sure you check out her post afterwards.

So throughout the Autumn time, I absolutely love dark nudes especially MAC's Velvet Teddy and Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker in Charm Offense. Another thing that I love about Autumn is the new nail polish colours. I adore dark colours like berry, maroon and even black. However I still like to have a fun side so colours like orange and mustard are definitely at the top of my list. I also love wearing eyeshadow throughout the Autumn and my g to palette is definitely my Naked 2, I actually have a post up about an eye look you can try on my blog so you can read that if you'd like to know the colours I use.

For clothes it obviously has to be the traditional jumpers. I honestly feel like Autumn isn't Autumn without jumpers!! Also boots are one of my favourite things for this season, I have a pair from Pull&Bear and they are so nice. Also they look super cute and girly with frilly socks as well!! Finally my last clothing essential is definitely a tartan scarf , I have two, one in the traditional red colours and also one from River Island which is a pale blue, nude and pink. I just feel like these scarfs can go with any outfit and make you feel super cosy!!

So those were my Autumn Essentials, don't forget to check out Grace's blog and read all about her Autumn Essentials. Also I have a bunch of Halloween posts planned for the next couple of weeks so you can definitely look forward to that!!

Beauty | Autumn Eye Makeup Look Using Naked 2

Since Autumn is a mere few days away (23rd of September, to be exact!!) I thought today I'd share with you my very first tutorial. So I'm obsessed with my Naked 2 palette and recently I have been wearing this look a lot and I've really been loving it. It's a perfect nude look for the Autumn time.

Primer
Because the base colour of this look is quite a light shade, I always like to prime my eyes using my MAC Mineralized concealer, I find that using a concealer instead of a proper eye primer helps to keep this look on longer and also helps to make the pigmentation of the colours better. Plus it makes your eyelids all one colour. :)

Lid
So the first colour that I use is Bootycall, this is a gorgeous colour and, if you have blue eyes really makes them pop. So all I do is apply this to my crease using my Real Techniques Domed Shadow Brush. I pat on the product rather than swiping because I feel like it is more pigmented this way.

Crease
Then I take the colour Tease and work this into my crease. I like to use this colour because it makes the look a little bit more smokey whilst still keeping it natural. I use the brush that came with the Naked 2 palette for this colour. I use the end with the more sharper brush because that's a small brush so really gets precision in the crease. Afterwards I take the other side of the brush which is super fluffy and blend the two colours together.

So that was my Autumn Eye Makeup Look, I really hope you enjoyed this post and I'm sorry if its a bit short but I promise you I have some super exciting posts coming up very soon, which I have been working super hard on!!!

Beauty | Back To School Makeup Routine 2015 // CollabWithMeetMeInMelford

Now I'm guessing that most of you have gone back to school by now, I have (unfortunately) so I thought today I'd share with you my back to school makeup look. This is also a collab with the amazing Lily from MeetMeInMelford, her blog is amazing and one of my all time favourites. So make sure you check out her post after this one.

Baby Skin Instant Fatigue Blur in Cool Rose: £7.99
So the first thing that I apply is my Baby Skin in Cool Rose, this smooth's out my face and also conceals any redness. Like the title suggests it also makes my skin look 10x more awake than before.

MAC Mineralized Concealer in NW10: £17.50
Next up I apply my concealer, I don't wear foundation for school because I try to go with quite a natural look with my makeup. I only apply the concealer under my eyes to brighten my under eye circles. I don't apply it to my blemishes because I don't want it to look like I have any makeup on and if I covered my blemishes you would be able to tell I had makeup on. I apply my concealer with the Real Techniques Concealer Brush.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Transparent: £3.99
Then I apply my powder. I use my Real Techniques Setting Brush to set my concealer and then my Real Techniques Powder Brush to keep the rest of my face matte throughout the day.

I Heart Makeup Triple Baked Blush in Candy Queen of Hearts: £5.99
For blush I like to go quite natural with just a little bit of a natural pink flush. I do this because I don't want to make myself look like I've been on a long run!! :) To apply the blush I just use my Real Techniques Blush Brush.

Benefit Roller Lash: £19.50
Afterwards I move onto mascara and for this I use my all time favourite Roller Lash. This makes my eyelashes so long and also makes me look more awake, its also not clumpy so gives my lashes that natural long length effect.

Lovable Luxuries Brow Spoolie: (I'm not sure on the price as this product came in a set)
I don't doing anything that dramatic with my brows I just brush them into shape and shape out my brow arch.

Sleek Brow Setting Gel in Clear: £4.99
Then I set the shape of my brow with the Sleek Brow Setting Gel in Clear. Without this step I tend to notice that my brows move out of shape throughout the day.

Maybelline Baby Lips in Melon Mania: £2.99
To finish of the look I use the Maybelline Baby Lips in Melon Mania. I like this because its a super natural colour and also keeps my lips moisturized and hydrated throughout the day.

So that was my Back To School Makeup Routine. I hope you enjoyed and also don't forget to check out Lily's post on her blog.

"What's your holy grail makeup item for School?"

Lifestyle | What's In My School Bag 2015 // Collab with PastelBlastsBeauty & PinkSmarties

One great thing about Back To School (besides stationary supply shopping) is getting a new bag. I absolutely love when the time comes for me to get a new bag because I will probably have got bored of my old one by now. Since it's the new school year, I obviously had to get a new bag, which also lent itself to a blogposts!! So today I'm going to be sharing with you a What's In My School Bag for 2015. This is also a collab with 3 lovely bloggers: PastelBlastsBeauty, and PinkSmarties.

Michael Kors Tan Bag
Firstly my bag is from Michael Kors and it's a gorgeous tan/brown colour. It is super big on the inside and has 3 different pockets of space for me to put things in. I keep my PE Kit in one side and then all the rest of my stuff in the other two pockets. I like how the pockets are big because, it keeps my stuff nice and organized.

School Planner
So the first thing that I have in my bag is my planner. Now my school supply's our planners so we don't have to buy one. However I do like to keep my own in so I can keep track a bit easier with all the things I have to do.

Reading Book
Next up is a reading book. Now my school has a rule that you have to have a reading book with you at all times or it's a detention!! I keep one in from home that I know I enjoy reading so whenever we have to read, I can enjoy myself!!

Beauty Bag
I actually already have a post up with all the things that I keep in my beauty bag, so if you're interested you can go and read that and find out about all the things I keep that are beauty related in my bag.

Pencil Case
Obviously everyone has to have a pencil case, with them in their school bag. All I keep in mine are: spare pencils/pens, gluestick, Tipex, calculator and highlighters. It's always good to keep a pencil case in your bag because that way you can take extra things without having to have them in your Blazer pocket.

PE Kit
I only need my PE kit two days a week, so I don't always have it with me but when I do I have to have: PE top and shorts and Trainers/Football Boots.

Folders
One of the things that is in my bag permantely is my folder. I always keep it in my bag so that my homework or letters don't get all crumpled up and ruined. It also helps me to stay organized because I know where everything is.

So that's what I keep in my School Bag. I hope you enjoyed this post and also I hope it may have helped you with ways to keep yourself (and your bag) organized.

"What do you keep in your school bag?"

Beauty | What's In My Back To School Beauty Bag

 

Now most of you, have probably already gone back to School, so I thought today I would share with you what I keep in my School beauty bag. This is also a collab with the wonderful TutusandTriumphs, so make sure you check out her post and her amazing blog.

Soap and Glory Hand Maid Hand Sanitizer: £2.99
The first thing that I like to keep in my beauty bag is my hand sanitizer, I always have to have this with me because there are always germs going around and you never know who might have sneezed on the stair rail (EWWW) This helps to keep you nice and clean, plus this sanitizer smells amazing!!

Victoria Secret Spray in Pure Seduction: (This Product Came In A Set)
Next up I like to keep my absolute fave spray from VS. I like this one as well because its a mini size, so won't take up much room in my bag. Also this is really good for top ups throughout the day.

Deodrant: £1.99
I then obviously keep deodorant in my bag for when I have PE and also whenever I start to feel a bit sweaty. Again you also never know who might need some!!

Co-lab Dry Shampoo in Floral: £1.99
So this may seem a little weird but I also like to keep a Dry Shampoo for after PE and also if my hair starts to look a bit greasy I can apply this. One thing I like about this is that you don't have to rub any white residue in which saves a lot more time!!!

Maybelline Baby Lips in Melon Mania: £2.99
Up next is my fave Baby Lips, I apply this in the morning and just keep it in my bag for top ups throughout the day. Also its a gorgeous natural colour and is a perfect if you're not feeling a full on lip colour.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Transparent: £2.99
Another makeup product  I keep in my bag is my holy grail powder, again I apply this in the morning and us it for top up throughout the day. Especially considering my T-Zone and Chin get pretty oily, I need this product at all times!!!

MAC Mineralized Concealer in NW15: £17.50
The final thing that I keep in my bag is my ultimate fave concealer. I use this to highlight my under eye circles. I have noticed that this slips off my face throughout the day so I always need it with me.

So those were all the things that I keep in my School Beauty Bag. I hope you enjoyed and don't forget to check out the wonderful TutusandTriumphs.

Back To School Q&A

So Q&A's are one of my favourite types of blogposts to read, because I feel like you get to know people more by asking them questions. Today I thought I would do my own Q&A based on Back To School, I'd quickly like to thank everyone who gave me questions, they are all greatly appreciated.

@MeetMeInMelford
Q:What time do you get up and go to bed on a school night?
A: I usually go to bed at around 9 o'clock and wake up at around 7:20.

@ThriftyVintageFashion
Q: What are your favourite and least favourite lessons?
A: My favourite lessons are: Drama, French and Art. My least favourite are: Maths, Geography and Ethics.

@kate.livvy
Q: What are your school bag essentials?
A: My school bag essentials are: Phone, Concealer and Powder, Hairbrush, Deodorant, Body Spray and Batiste Dry Shampoo.

@tutusandtriumph
Q: How do you cope with being in a new class?
A: Usually when you move up to the next year, you stay with a lot of people from your class, so you don't really go into a completely new class with people you don't know. I just do everything I need to do in that class and try talking to people you don't know, that way you can make new friends really easily.

@floralbeautyyyxo
Q: What makeup product can you not live without for going back to school?
A: The makeup product I cant live without is mascara, because it just makes me look super wide awake.

@MeetMeInMelford
Q: Do people at school know about your fabulous blog?
A: No, nobody knows about my blog and I don't plan on telling anybody because I just want to be able to write and have people who don't know me read it, that way I wont dread going to school knowing people have read what I have written and make fun of me for it. :)

So those were all the questions I received, once again thankyou to everyone who gave me a question also make sure you check out their Instagram's as well.
