Autumn Lips


Left to Right: Mac Rebel, Revlon lip butter macaroon, Arcancil Paris 380 prune diva, Rimmel London Apocalips eclipse, Rimmel kate matte 107, Rimmel London kate 08, Mac Sheen supreme bare again, Chanel Rouge allure velvet 40 la sensuelle.

So after one of my last posts talking about the glorious Mac rebel lipstick I decided that I would show you guys some of my other favourite autumn/winter lipsticks. I've already spoke about Macs rebel so I wont bore you with that but here's a little thing for the rest!!

Revlon Lip Butter macaroon:  The Revlon lip butters are great because there so moisturising but the colour pay off is amazing! The colour macaroon is a really nice pink/peach (In the picture it looks really peach but its actually darker in person) and it has gold glitter in it which is really nice and isn't to over the top on the lips.

Arcancil Paris Prune Diva 380: Now I bought this lipstick last year when I went to Paris, I've never seen the brand before, I believe its Arcancil Paris but I'm not fully sure haha I love the colour though its a really dark raspberry! Its darker then Rimmel 107, it isn't matte and has a lush golden sheen to it!

Rimmel London Apocalips Eclipse: This Rimmel London liquid lipsticks are amazing! They aren't really glossy but just have a nice shine to them and they don't go all over your face or teeth (bonus!) This colour in Eclipse is a really nice purple/pink muted colour not as bright as other purple-ish lipsticks but still great for if your wanting something a little less dramatic.

Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick 107: So the famous Rimmel Kate Moss 107 lipstick will not surprise any of you because I think everyone loves and brings this lipstick out every autumn/winter but its just the best raspberry red matte lipstick that I think suits everyone!

Rimmel Kate Lipstick 08: This lipstick has been my favourite everyday lipstick at the moment when it comes to a more natural kind of nude. I do prefer a nude that has a bit of a pink tone to it as I Just think it suits my completion a bit better and this one is perfect because its a more darker toned pink lipstick rather then a bright one which is just perfect!

Mac Sheen Supreme Bare Again: Again like the Rimmel 08 this is a great autumn/winter nude! It has a pinkish undertone to it but also has that classic brown nude look to it. Its a lot more glossy then the Rimmel London lipstick but not overly glossy.

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet 40 La Sensuelle: So a very luxurious lipstick but I had to feature it! Its a matte lipstick but you would never have guessed if someone put it on your lips and you didn't know what it was because its so moisturising but looks matte on the lips... its crazy! I suppose it makes sense with the not very nice price tag but I do think its nice to spurge sometimes! Its a really nice raspberry/berry colour (very standard for me as you can tell)

Hope you enjoyed

Small Festive Lush Haul!




Soo some of my favourite Youtubers and bloggers (Fashionrocksmysocks&Zoella) have posted huge Lush hauls with all of the new festive products for Christmas and Halloween which got me very exited and running to the lush store as soon as I could!!
So I know a lot of people will be thinking its only the start of October, its a little early for Christmas things but I've been having a bath nearly every night lately because its just got so cold over the last week or so.. I hate the smell of Lush so its not very often that I actually go in but I knew what I wanted so I run in and grabbed them(I also had a train to catch so I needed to be speedy).

The only thing I don't love about lush products especially around Christmas time is all of the glitter that comes on everything so I stayed away from all of that kind of products and just went with the plain (adorable) ones!


  The melted snowman: This little guy is so cute and smells exactly like Christmas.. Think of Christmas and this is exactly what you get! It smells all warm and spicy which are just one of my favourite scents! It is a bath melt so he just melts away in your bath exactly like a snowman would and just leaves a lovely smell with oils which are great for your skin.. I used the snowman when I got in from college before uploading this post and my skin honestly feels as soft as a babies bottom and I can still smell it on my skin now!


The Christmas Penguin: So mine and my bestfriends (Hey Emma!) favourite animals are penguins so of course I had to pick this little guy up, He's soooooooo cute!  This is a bubble bar so when you run him under hot water it creates amazing bubbles! This little guy also smells like citrus/fresh goodness!



Butterbear: So like the cuteness form the melted snowman and Christmas penguin I couldn't leave the little bear behind.. I felt like he was giving me puppy dog eyes(Yes I'm that sad). The Butterbear smells like chocolate which I don't normally like but he just smells all rich like chocolate and vanilla milkshake! He's also a bathbomb so he fizzes and dissolves when you place him in the tub.

So white: Last but not least I got another plain but great bathbomb only this one smells like apples, citrus and just a really clean/fresh smell. Again this just fizzes and also has a pink coloured rose centre which I'm exiting to see what it actually looks like when in the bath.

So as you can see I didn't go to over board or really get a lot but I'm VERY exited and will probably(definitely)  be going back to get some more festive treats!

Hope you enjoyed this little haul

Summer to Autumn

So over the summer I bought a few different dresses that were sleeveless, at the time I loved them but now Its getting to be a bit to cold to wear them which I'm not very happy about.
Recently I bought some of these basic scalloped tops from Topshop and they've become a great basic piece in my wardrobe that I've been pairing with many different things! There very simple but are so cute with the scalloped edgy on the bottom and on the sleeve.
 
Now of course they look really nice with just Jean, trousers and skirts which is what I originally bought them for, especially for the days when you just want to be snuggled in bed all day when its wet and windy outside (most of the time In England then) BUT then my brain had a little light bulb go off and I realised they look lush underneath them summer dresses that are sleeveless..
 

Primark boots
Urban outfitters socks
 


Forever 21 dress
Primark boots
Urban outfitters socks
 
I love pairing things underneath my dresses but normal it would put a shirt with a collar on underneath rather then just a t-shirt but I really like how they look! The outfits are just really easy and cosy to wear which is perfect for autumn when its cold outside!
 
Hope you enjoy and give you inspiration to turning your summer outfits into autumn ones

Misrable sick day essentials

So I've been a little under the weather the last couple of days with that bug that everyone seems to have at the moment that comes about when everyone starts going back to school. The weather in Cumbria has been awful.. I'm pretty sure I saw a newspaper board the other day saying something about floods which wouldn't surprise me since it seems to be raining every minute of everyday at the moment.
                                             

So of course from being ill and a little the weather I have spend a load of time wrapped up in bed so I thought I'd give you a little list of my sick day/cosy day essentials:
 


 Tea -
now I normally drink a load of tea as it is but when I'm sick or just having a cosy day I drink so much its actually worrying but somehow makes me feel a little better and warmer inside. I also really like to drink hot water and lemon!!
 
Books -
A good read is always a must when your sick! I never get as much time to read anymore because of college, work and everything else so when I'm sick I love rereading some of my favourite books! Normally a Jobi picoult book because I can never put them down or something soppy like the fault in our stars (I cry my eyes out every time!)
 
movies -
Movies are also a big essential, normally all my favourites and when I say favourites I mean mostly  Disney films because like people say your never to old for Disney films!
 
Lipbalms -
Now when I'm sick the last thing on my mind is about beauty things and looking presentable.. but I am a big Lipbalm person and that really doesn't change when I'm sick, in fact I think I apply it more and more when I'm sick, I have no idea why!
 
All things cosy! -
Now of course all things cosy is a big importance! fairy lights, candles, blankets, fluffy socks, hot water bottles and well anything that is just going to make me feel warm I'm all about!

Organising my 'wardrobe'


 
So saying organising my 'wardrobe' isn't exactly right.. my bedroom is in the attic of the house so I cant actually fit a wardrobe into my room so I use this vintage style rail. Now the problem of having a rail like this is that you can see all the clothes which can sometimes look messy or just not in best way but I recently organised and sorted it and I thought I'd show you guys because I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.
 
So from being able to see everything on the rail I thought it was time to get some nice looking decent hangers, I've been using the Primark felt/none slip hangers, these are great because your clothes don't fall off and they look really cute because of the different colours! I don't actually live near a Primark (cries a little) but when ever I go I always pick up a pack or two and each time they've always got new colours which I find really exiting!! haha
 
 
 One of the things I found must annoying was the hanging of my jeans, trousers and skirts! They used to take up so much room from hanging them over/throw the coat hangers. last week I realised that the rail looked like it was going to come crashing down so I decided to get the little basket/box which you can see in the picture below, I just folded my jeans and skirts up nicely (Felt like working in retail actually helped and I felt proud even though its not a hard task haha) and also folder a couple of shirt flannels.
There is space at the bottom of the rail so I placed my most used shoes at the front and then others at the back so they are hidden a little.

Behind my rail I have some coat hanger hooks so I hung most of my coats that aren't as well loved or I'm not using at the moment in the back so they are out of the way and then my most used jackets (leather and denim) on the rail with all of my dresses and tops. Lastly I hung my bag on the side of the rail with my favourite bowl hats from Topshop.

Hope this maybe helped some of you that have the same problem as me or just need to ideas for organising!

Clean and Edgy

So for a typical girl you would probably expect them to have billions of shoes but I surprisingly don't.. I pretty much live in one pair of black booties I got about a year ago from topshop but recently I have had a little obsession with white shoes...
There's been two pairs I've been in love with recently..

 

This pair of boots I bought before the summer from ASOS but I never really wore them, I felt like a bit of a painter in them so Its only been recently that I've wiped them out and now there glued to my feet! There really comfortable and very easy to walk in all day when I'm at college or anything during the day.
 
 
This pair isn't exactly a pair of boots as you can see but I really like them, I've never really been a trainer kind of person not even converse or vans which a lot of people find really odd! haha I saw these in Pull&Bear when I was on holiday and fell in love! I think with the platform sole there just a little different and more edgy but also give a really clean look to a outfit... they look great with jeans and again are really comfortable even thought they have the platform base.

For being white shoes I'm surprised how clean both pairs have stayed but I actually like the look of them with a little bit of dirt on them, like they've actually been worn and loved, although I'd say don't wear them in the rain, I learnt that lesson.. Both are well loved at the moment and a bit more interesting then the normal black boot or shoe!
