Valentines // Polyvore Inspo


Recently I have discovering Polyvore and I am hooked like a fish!!! I spend countless hours creating my own outfit inspirations and browsing at what other people are creating. It's just so visually appealing. *inserts heart eye emoji*

As valentines is just around the corner I thought I'd piece together a date night outfit for the romantic occasion. A girl loves nothing more than dressing up and choosing something to wear it just the beginning of the fun. As it is for valentines it was only right to keep it red and black. It's classy. 

I've opted for a feather trimmed mini skirt with a burgundy turtle neck from Topshop. Paired with some lace up heels from Missguided and a beautiful (and totally out of my budget) clutch from YSL. The gold and burgundy compliment the earrings I have chosen which are also from Topshop. I'm never a huge fan of wearing earrings but on a date I would feel naked without them! I then picked an all black midi dial watch from Olivia Burton. Their watches are so classic and I always wear mine! Last but not least a matte, deep red lipstick from MAC. Perfect.

Any outfit inspo's from you lovelies?

Would you rather... // Beauty Edition

I thought this year I would mix up my blog posts a little bit. Instead of the normal beauty review posts I thought having a few chatty posts throughout the year would be nice. So grab a seat boo's this is gonna be a rambley one.



Beauty tags are always fun to read and I find it interesting what other bloggers have to say. So, to kickstart this switch up I thought I'd do the Would You Rather Beauty Edition. I know that there are a few different ones online but this is the one I most recently saw being shared on my bloglovin' page!

1. Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice makeup or nice hair and no makeup?
100% messy hair and nice makeup. I do this already... I love a messy bun! I much prefer spending time doing my makeup than my hair because my hair NEVER goes right.

2. Would you rather shave your eyebrows off or have your eyelashes fall out?
This is so hard because I love my eyebrows and eyelashes! But, seen as you can more easily fix your eyebrows by drawing them on, I'd rather shave them off. Imagine having no eyelashes??? The amount of stuff you'd get in your eyes would drive me insane.

3. Would you rather be forced to shop at MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?
Sephora is basically the mothership of makeup. I love loads of different brands that Sephora sell. Even though it's a lot easier to find a MAC store in the UK, I would rather Sephora for the rest of my life.

4. Would you rather wear the lipgloss/lipliner look or have an 80's perm?
I have naturally crazy curly hair so I would never ever get a perm. I know some people do the lipgloss with lip liner look. I think if you combine a very pigmented gloss and light lip liner it can actually look alright!

5. Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or over done blush?
This is probably the hardest question yet because both look absolutely ridiculous... I would have to go with the over done blush. Sometimes you can pull off a rosy red cheek! I think an obvious foundation line is one of the first things someone notices and no one likes the orange line!

6. Would you rather wear MC hammer pants or biker shorts?
The hammer pants of course. MC hammer pants can be pulled off way easier than biker shorts. Who even wears biker shorts except bikers?! I think in the summer MC hammer pants can kinda work!

7. Would you rather have a bad orange spray tan or weird tan lines that can't be covered?
I've actually experience both of these. Woops! I'd go for the bad spray tan. Tan lines can last for months and a spray tan can last for a week or so!

8. Would you rather have a bad hair cut or bad hair colour?
Bad hair cuts have happened many times before and so have bad hair colours. I'd go for the hair cut as it can grow out or you could always pop it up with bobby pins or hair ties. Bad hair colour can last longer and be way more damaging for your hair which isn't worth it!

9. Would you rather have Youtube or Twitter taken away forever?
This is a tough one because I spend a massive amount of my time tweeting and communicating with other bloggers but also supporting and watching Youtubers. I'd have to go with Youtube as Twitter is such an important social media site for my blogging and has been a place where I have become part of a community with other bloggers!

10. Would you rather give up using makeup brushes or using mascara? 
Makeup brushes for sure! I used to apply makeup all the time with just my hands or makeup sponges. Not exactly the most professional way I know, but what's a full face of makeup with mascara?! I know you could use fake eye lashes but no one needs to be doing that everyday!

Leave any of your answers to these below! I love reading them!

Winter Reds // Lipstick Review

Winter is my favourite time of the year. It brings jumper season, duvet days and dark nights. However, the main reason I really love winter is because I get to wear my favourite lip colours every day without looking like I'm a vamp wanna-be. 

Red's at this time of year are perfect. I would love to pull a Taylor Swift and rock a red lip every single day of the year but unfortunately I am not blessed with suiting a bold bright red. Instead, I'm more of a dark burgundy kinda girl! So, as it's now the middle of the season I thought I'd share with you lovely readers what my top 3 shades are. (And boy it was like picking a favourite child!)


The first shade I'm going to start with is the most recent lip shade I have added to my collection. Mac Diva. I have been searching online and in store for this shade since the beginning of October. It was sold out for months but finally it is back on the Mac Cosmetics website! Hooray! 
This shade is very, very, very matte. It's very intense burgundy shade and lasts on the lips for hours. Trust me, it doesn't budge! The only thing I find with this lipstick is that because it is so matte, it does dry out my lips quite badly, so I always apply a base layer of vaseline to soften my lips.

The second shade is from L'Oreal Paris. It's number 703 Oud Obsession from their Colour Riche collection. I've never owned any of the L'Oreal lipsticks before, but after this purchase I'll definitely be expanding my horizons and buying some more shades. This shade is a browny/red colour and is the darkest shade I own. It leaves quite a glossy look on the lips and is moisturising which is a bonus. I also adore the packaging of this lipstick. The gold makes the lipstick look classy and elegant.

The last shade is from one of my favourite drugstore brands, Rimmel. It's from the Lasting Finish By Kate Nudes collection. It is a more neutral shade compared to the other shades I have mentioned. The finish of this lipstick is very creamy which I love. You do have to reapply throughout the day. As it comes under the nudes collection for a more intense look you do have to apply at least two coats. However, it is a very wearable shade so you could apply just one for a more natural look.

Below are two pictures of swatches and links to the products mentioned in this post.


Swatches from top to bottom: 

If any of you have any other statement lipsticks for the winter I'd love to read about them in the comments below!

In 12daysofchristmas 2015 advent bblogger beauty benefit bestof calendar christmas ciate december fblogger lblogger MAC makeup november review tanyaburr zoella

Christmas! // Best Of Beauty Advent Calendars 2015

Hello lovelies, I love this time of the year when it comes to blogging. Nothing is better than reading other bloggers Christmas buys, recipes and outfits. This year I will be taking part in the twelve days of Christmas between the 12th and the 24th of December so keep your eyes peeled for that! I'll be sharing a variety of different blog posts such as budget buys, present ideas, baking ideas and make up tutorials!

I know as a blogger that you guys love beauty advent calendars! They are so exciting to open up and find a miniature sized product. (Cute!!!!) I'll be sharing with you my personal top 3 favourites. 

Tanya Burr's whole Christmas range is to die for including this amazing calendar! I'm so glad she brought one of these out because I love everything she's brought out so far. The design of the product is very Tanya Burr style which I find it beautiful. I brought mine from Superdrug so will be writing an in depth post after Christmas when I have opened all the doors! The calendar is a 12 day one which means you could either wait till the 12th to start or alternate what days you open it. (Not that my patience would allow me to wait.) 

I am obsessed with Benefit products, so of course this will be in my top 3! This gorgeous calendar is such a good deal for the products you get. Again, it is a 12 day calendar so it would be up to you when you would open it! Everything inside is well known, popular Benefit products which I find such a good idea as I would use them for travel minis! (Everyone loves a good travel sized product!)

I cannot express how good this calendar is for its value! For £49 you get 24 Ciate nail polishes and to top it all off they are miniature sized! Personally, I actually prefer a miniature nail polish, especially a high end branded one! I find I never ever finish a full sized nail polish and it also gives me a chance to use colours I wouldn't normally go for without feelings like I'm wasting a whole pot!

Any recommended advent calendars I could get my mittens on!? Leave them below!

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Highlighter // Review

Hello lovlies! As promised I am uploading weekly again, yay! This post is going to be linked with other posts I do in the upcoming weeks as I brought a few new MAC products and want to review each one separately:)


When I went to Oxford a few weeks ago I popped into the rather large MAC counter in Debenhams. Unfortunately, where I live doesn't have a MAC counter which means I either have to go to MK centre or order online. (I hate ordering makeup online unless it's a repurchase!) My boyfriend actually brought the two products I got as part of my Christmas present. One of these items was the Mineralize Skinfinish Powder in the shade Soft & Gentle.


I love this shade so much simply because it isn't too dark so it can be used either lightly as a highlighter for the cheekbones or can be built up for more of a bronzing look. The shimmer is so intense in this product and adds such a natural glow when caught in the light, Below are two images; One taken with the flash and the other without just to show the shimmer better.


The power had a high metallic finish on the skin and feels so smooth. It's known for its velvet finish which is one of the reasons I chose this product. I use to add definition mainly to the tops of my cheekbones but also down the bridge of my nose and even under my eyebrows to give a polished finish.

I can't recommend this product enough. It's a perfect highlighter! As always I love discovering new products so if you are loving anything at the moment feel free to share with me!:D
