Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation Review ✿

Today I'm reviewing the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation; I've heard so much about this foundation through beauty blogs and YouTube saying it's an amazing product and worth a try so I popped to Boots and got my own bottle for £9.99.

I've been wearing it for a couple of weeks now and I have to say I am SO pleased with it! It's a medium to full coverage but some problem areas might need a bit of concealer. I have a lot of red pigments in my skin, especially in the middle of my face around my nose and on my chin and this foundation does so well to cover it up! It gives me a flawless and radiant complexion, a perfect foundation for the warmer months.

The shade I purchased is No.53 Light Beige which matched me perfectly, I haven't got my summer tan on yet so I don't know if I'm going to need to purchase a second shade. I'm wearing an MUA Bronzer and Natural Collection blusher in Peach Melba. I apply this foundation with my Real Techniques Stippling Brush which is really good for flawlessly blending the product onto the skin.

After hearing all the hype about this product it's definitely worth buying, if you like a dewy, healthy looking foundation then this is a perfect drug store buy! I wouldn't suggest buying it if you have oily skin just because it rubs off quite during the day, I've noticed that at college, it'll rub off on my chin and mainly the centre of my face slightly, the parts where I'm most oily. But apart from that it's very long lasting and I seriously recommend it!











Thanks so much for reading! I'll be back on Thursday with a HAUL featuring American Apparel! :)

Covent Garden OOTD ✿

I feel like every blog post I do begins with an apology and I have to say, almost a month without a blog post is pretty appalling, so again, my sincerest apologies.
Today (or rather tonight I should say) I have an ootd post which should have been uploaded a week ago when I went to visit the beautiful Covent garden and the ICA Exhibition center. I will have pictures from the Exhibition at the end if any of you are interested!

In this outfit post I have a few new items that I would like to show you! Apologies for the awful photo of me, unfortunately, there's only ONE of me, so I can't take photos of myself. :/

I think it's my hair that totally ruins this picture for me. Anyway, there I am standing outside the Paul Smith shop. ;)

Top: Topshop // Jeans: New Look // Socks: Topshop // Shoes: River Island // Bag; Zara // Neckalce & bracelet: New Look //

I found this super cute long top in the Topshop sale for £7, I can't work out whether they're black stripes or navy blue, but it's got two cuts going up either side so I could style it tucked into something with the back out etc. It's a staple for my summer wardrobe and an absolute bargin in my opinion!

My wrist accessories! On my left hand I wore a selection of thread bracelets, 3 of them were dainty chains, two neon colours with heart charms that I also got from the Topshop sale!
On my right hand I wore a simple bangle that I stole from my sister (mwuahahhahaa) and a chain bracelet to match my neckalce, this bracelet was free with the New Look 'Buy 1 Get 1 Free' which I also got my chain necklace with. The necklace cost me £6.99 - the cheapest I've seen these necklaces so far.










I hope you enjoyed my outfit post, I should be back tomorrow (or the next day) with a review of the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation! I've been loving it so far and I'm going to go more into detail in that post. Also, let me know if you'd like a 'What's in my Makeup Bag' post!

I'm now going to leave with some photographs of the Exhibition I visited at the ICA. It was called '2000 Wasted Years' by The Bernadette Corporation. They're a New York retrospective art group who tried their hand at ambiguous fashion branding in the 90's. The exhibition shows all their work from when the began to the current day. I'll leave the link to the ICA website if you fancy visiting. Thanks for reading!

Wantworthy ✿

wantworthy.com

First of all, APOLOGIES for not posting since like March, bad, I know. But alas, I am now here with an interesting post. Some of you might have already heard of this website but I've only recently been introduced to it.
This site is basically your personal wishlist, anything that catches your eye, you're able to keep all nice and tidy on one little site! I've found it so handy as I'm always browsing the internet for new clothes.

This is my wantworthy profile/wishlist. At the moment I've got a few things from NastyGal and Zara etc. This is just to give you a rough feel of what the website looks like. So now onto how it works:

So, after signing up to Wantworthy, you have to install a lightweight button to your bookmarks/toolbar so that when you come across a garment that you really like, you just click the button and it automatically adds it to your Wantworthy wishlist without having to go on the website etc. It's so easy to use and it's really great to see all of your wants on one page.

 So when you click the Wantworthy button in your tool bar, a little box will come up where it allows you to save your item to your wishlist and lets you correct any information etc.

And there it is, now added to my wishlist. I really suggest you guys get this website, it's really handy and it's great to see all of your favourite picks in one place. It'd be great if you could also check out my Wantworthy to see what sort of things I have my eye on. I'm getting paid soon so I guess you can expect a few things in a haul post soon!

I hope you guys join the site and check out my wishlist, leave your links in the comments if you wish!

Haul ✿

Haul ✿

So this week I'm here with a haul blog post, showing you all the things I've bought over the past month! This is my first haul on my blog so I hope you enjoy it! 

Primark:
Although it's not my favourite place to shop, half my wardrobe is built up with Primark items and recently they've have had some real gems so I went on a little spree! 

Firstly I got this pinky peach shirt that was on sale for either £2 or £5. The first thing I noticed about it was the colour and the cute gold dots. I also love the peter pan collar. It's fits fine apart from the chest area which is really annoying, I was going to exchange it for a bigger size but this was the last one there. Oh well, I'll find some way to style it. 

I came across this vest and I just fell in love with it straight away, it's very similar to the Topshop shirt that I showed in my previous blog post except it's not a shirt, it's a vest. Haha. I think it's a great piece for the summer and has that porcelain, china look about it. I can see it going well with pretty much everything; I'm happy with this purchase. This was £4.

Okay, there's something about these baseball inspired tees that I just love! I love the print, I think it's so cool, the only thing I would say about this is that it's wayyyy to long so I may have to do a bit of DIY on this baby! This was £3.

Next up is the black sheer shawl which I totally fell in love with. I've got my eyes peeled for a floor length sheer kimono because I think they're gorgeous but I found this for £5 or £6, forgive me if I'm wrong, I honestly can't remember. Naughty blogger. 

I've had my eye on a full length maxi skirt for a very long time but I didn't want to have to pay the earth just in case I didn't like it but luckily good old Primark came up trumps and I found this black pleated one for a tenner! Bargin! 

I had been on the hunt for a tartan scarf and was planning to get one from H&M but I saw this in Primark for £2 in the sale and I couldn't resist!

I found this super dainty cross necklace and picked it up for a bargainous £2!

I'm loving Primark jewellery at the moment, I'm seriously impressed with the quality and design, they're quite unique for once! All these necklaces were £3 each I think all in the sale. The furthest to the left is absolutely gorgeous, everytime I went into Primark I kept seeing it and it was getting cheaper and cheaper so I seized the day and purchased it! The gold disc necklace is possibly the best purchase I've made in a while, it goes with absolutely everything and looks amazing! The necklace to the right I bought because I loved the crystal look but it's harder to style than the others.

Rubber neon chain bracelets were £2.50 and I fell in love with them, they will look great for summer! 

The simple cross earrings £1, a staple pair of earrings in my opinion. 

Set of 12 earrings £2.50. Love the triangles, the peace signs and the hamsa hands. 

Galaxy rock ring was £2 I think..I love statement rings and this one is great! 

Okay that's all for Primark, now onto Topshop!

Every girl needs a pair of Topshop Leigh Jeans in their wardrobe, LYKE SRSLY. They are super light and really comfortable and I'm sooo pleased with this purchase, I think I'm going to have to invest in a darker pair soon! These were £38.

Okay, so you know when you see something for the first time and fall in love with it? Well, that happened. I saw this in store and it was like love at first sight. It's by the concession Tea and Cake who do amazing graphic tees like this! I need to find ways of being more adventurous with this top but I am so so so pleased with it! £25.

Now onto jewellery, apologies for the sausage fingers. I have been so intrigued by these bracelet rings and I think they look gorgeous but I never had the balls to wear one. Luckily I found this in the Topshop sale for like £3! BARGIN. I still haven't worn it though, I'm waiting for the weather to warm up a bit. 

Also in the Topshop sale I bought these earrings, GIANT hoops which I love and dainty ombre dangly earrings. They were both £2 each or something, or £3...I can't remember. The hoops will be great for summer if I can brave having my hair up! 








Then a quick dash to River Island!

In River Island I found the most amazing purse; lime green. Flippin gorgeous. There is also a matching bag but I won't get too ahead of myself, this purse was £10.
I also found an above knuckle ring set for only £2! Unfortunately I got a bit excited and forgot to check the size, so I'll have to go and exchange it for something that actually fits! 

And last, my 'beautiful, worth every penny' purchase is this gorgeous ZARA bag.

This is the Office City bag from Zara and I absolutely adore it! It was a hefty £49.99 but it's totally worth it! It's the perfect size for me to fit all my college books and pencil cases in, it also has a middle compartment to fit a mac book! Unfortunately I don't have a mac book, I tried fitting my laptop in there but I had no such luck. It's not good for carrying wider stuff in, like SLR Cameras or fleece pyjamas..I know, I've tried. Haha. If you're considering purchasing ANY Zara bag, go for it, they're such lovely quality and worth every penny!



So that's it from me, was a pretty long haul but I hadn't been shopping in forever, I got some great things, especially for summer which I'm super excited about, if it even decides to arrive in England this year(!). I hope you guys enjoyed this blog post, if you did then let me know and I shall continue making more like this!

Summer in the Winter ✿

Fairly late blog post, apologies. BUT I went to college on Monday dressed like it was summer, big mistake, I was pretty cold for most of the day. Haha, I hope you enjoy!

This jersey maxi skirt is a lot warmer than a sheer maxi skirt but I still don't think it was appropriate for winter weather as I was absolutely freezing, haha. I really love this outfit though and is perfectly adaptable for spring and summer!

Pleather jacket: Primark // Vest : Primark // Maxi skirt: Primark //
Shoes: Converse // Bag: Zara // Necklace: Primark

Wishlist ✿

Wish list for Feb 2013:

First of all, a black cami! I think everyone needs one of these in their summer wardrobe, they're perfect for layering with or on their own, they're so simple and so versatile that whatever your style, it's bound to go with everything! I need need need one of these! 

Next up, a pair of jeans, I need a lighter pair of jeans, I only have dark jeans atm and as much as I do love them, I need to transition my colours into spring! You can't go wrong with a pair of Topshop Leigh jeans so I think I'm going to have to invest in a pair! 

A colourful blazer. Now for Spring/Summer, I feel like neon is going to be really popular again and I think a neon or bright coloured blazer is an essential. The H&M blazers are such good quality and at an affordable price, one of these wont go amiss! 

Porcelain style shirt. I saw this shirt in Topshop and is designed as an oversized, flowy shirt and I just fell in love with it. I can imagine it going really well with jeans and sandals with a pair of round sunglasses and a fedora hat..oh yes, gorgeous. 

Cobalt blue! One of my favourite colours for nails at the moment! I have my eye on one from Essie, it's the perfect colour I'm looking for. 

River Island bag. River Island have some really gorgeous bags in at the moment and this clutch/shoulder bag is so gorgeous. It would be good for day trips where you don't need to carry much or nights out (not that I'm old enough to go on any, haha.) I do really like this bag and would love to have it but I need a slightly bigger bag that I'm going to get use out of. I have my eye on a few Zara bags, we shall see! 

Lipstick! For spring/summer I would really love a neutral, pinkier nude lipstick as I wanted to have a very effortless make up look this season. I want to keep my makeup minimal with glowing skin and soft colour on the lips. I'm sure I'll pick one of these up soon.

Ankle socks! Now I need a pair of these frilly ankle socks as I have a pair of River Island platform shoes that I adore but are hard to wear with normal socks! I think a pair of socks like this will add a cutsie twist to any outfit and will look fab even with open toe wedges or trainers etc.  


That's all I want this month (not much(!) haha). I hope you guys enjoyed this style of blog post, if you have any suggestions, please leave them in the comments below!

Thanks for reading!

Got 20 dollars in my pocket OOTD ✿

Shopping OOTD

Got 20 dollars in my pocket 

I have been the worlds WORST blogger recently, I haven't done a post in months, but that's all about to change! I've put together an outfit of the day post today inspired by Made In Chelsea's Cheska and the sports luxe trend! I've mixed simple glamour with a casual twist to create an effortless outfit perfect for a day out shopping! Sidenote: I'll be doing a haul in tomorrow's blog post where I'll rave about my gorgeous new Zara bag; it's a beaut. Keep an eye out for that! 

I first want to apologise profusely for the shocking photography; next time I ask my sister to take my ootd photographs...well...I shan't. I've taken my black H&M skinny jeans and paired them with my waterfall style white tee from South and my leather jacket! I'm determined to get a new (faux) leather jacket because this one I have was from Primark and lets be honest it's not the best quality and it's like 2 sizes too big but having said that, today with the sleeves rolled up it looked pretty good! To add a little something I added my new faux fur collar from eBay and accessorised with gold jewellery and decided to wear my awesome Nike high tops to add the sporty twist. I think the contrast between the fur and the trainers finishes off the look perfectly!

Now onto the finer details, the bracelet shown above on the left is the daintiest, cutest bracelet I own! It came in a pack of 4 from Topshop and I am IN LOVE with it. I wear it with pretty much everything! To match all the jewellery up I added my favourite disc necklace and small gold hoops! 

For makeup I kept it simple with a contoured natural eye and winged eyeliner, bronzer and blusher.

I had a great day out shopping and I love this outfit!
I hope you guys enjoyed this post!
Until next time; up and out!
