BRINGING OUT THE WINTER COAT

TOPSHOP coat (similar here), TOPSHOP jeans, TOPSHOP t-shirt, SHE LIKES heels

So the temperatures really starting to drop here in the UK and although i will miss summer i just could not wait to whip out my favorite winter jacket. I actually purchased this jacket last winter from Topshop and i think i will get a lot of wear from it this winter too. Unfortunately they don't sell this jacket anymore although i have linked a similar one.

As you might already be able to tell i do love basic minimal clothing, such as plain tees and jeans because with a pair of minimal heels thrown in you can look as dressy or as casual as you like.

 I am also going to occasionally add my make-up look after each post, and try to cooperate my passion for makeup into my blog a bit more now, so today i have left my MUOTD (make-up of the day) below and i am looking forward to posting some autumn/winter looks soon too so keep an eye out!

REVIEW: SIMPLE DEEP CLEANSING FACE MASK AND SOOTHING EYE BALM

I am trying to keep up with doing more fashion related posts but saying that i do like to talk about a good beauty product when i find one. 

So i wanted to talk about first of all the Simple deep cleansing face mask, i love trying out new face masks, so i always switch them up, this one is for sensitive skin and it is one i have been using all the time at the moment. It claims to 'draw out deep down dirt and eliminate dead cells' and it does just that. You leave it on for 3 minuets each time and use it twice a week. My skin feels just feels lovely and clean after using this and you can buy it from superdrug for just £1.98, so its really worth trying,

Secondly I'm trying out in partner with the face mask, the Simple soothing eye balm. I don't really tent to buy eye creams/gels if they are really under priced because as they say with eye products, you pay for the quality, but i ran out of the original one i was using so i thought I'd give this one a go and again it was on sale at superdrug for just £1.98. It say's that it has skin loving ingredients to reduce puffiness and wind down tired eyes, and i'm actually really loving it. Its refreshing and gentle on the skin and im really enjoying Simple products at the moment, they are just always full of amazing ingredients for the skin.

I use this morning and night and would diffidently say its worth giving a go.

KURT GEIGER TO DINNER

A quick photo bomb from the cat.. thanks socks!

TOPSHOP Shirt, TOPSHOP jeans, KURT GEIGER HEELS

How beautiful are these nude Kurt Geigers!? I have had these almost around a year now and i am just absolutely in love with them. I haven't had a chance to wear them in a while so i thought i'd bring them out to dinner last night. 

There's something about a good pair of heels that can just bring a basic outfit to life and well you just can't feel under dressed when your heels extend your height by about 6 inches.. There killers!

I tried to get these pictures snapped quickly before the sun went in too much, so the lighting is quite bad, oh and minus my cat and dog photo bombing almost every picture! but hey, that's the joys of photographing in your back garden lol.

Enjoy your weekend!

A NEW FIND - B.PURE MICELLAR WATER

         Superdrug B.pure micullar water - £2.47

I love switching up different beauty products, especially cleansers as i find some just don't leave my skin feeling or looking its best, which can make it difficult for me to part with a lot of money to buy a cleanser when i don't know how my skin will react to it. I wanted something quite gentle, that would still give my skin a good clean. I havent really heard all that much about the brand B.pure but when i came across it in superdrug it was half price, reduced from £4.99 to £2.47.. what a bargain! so i thought i'd give it a go.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this product because i only usually buy brands i know a lot about to be safe, but you cant really go wrong with a price like that. Anyway it is actually one of the best cleansers i have tried so far, its gentle on the skin, leaves your face feeling smooth and clean and has a nice refreshing scent. It comes in a 150ml bottle and i have used it ever morning and every night so it has gone quite fast. I just use a cotten pad and sweep it all over my face. I would efficiently be inclined to try some more products from this brand, the prices are just amazing.

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS DIPBROW POMADE!

I am always on the hunt for a good brow product and i had heard so many good things about this Dipbrow pomade by Anastasia Beverly Hills, so i finally got round to buying it and i am SO happy i did! I ordered from a website called Beauty Bay for £15.

On the website you can chose from five different shades to match your hair, i bought the shade dark brown and i apply it using the MAC 266 small angle brush.

The dipbrow pomade is described as being waterproof and smudge proof and it is exactly that, once it's on it ain't going anywhere, it takes a lot of scrubbing!. The consistency is a mousse like formula that just glides on like a dream and it can be applied as heavily or as lightly as you prefer. The application process is much easier than i imagined, i managed to get the hang of applying it fairly quickly, although i learned that you need to work quite quickly as the product drys fast.

Overall i am in LOVE, it is definitely the best brow product i have tried so far and it is well worth the price tag!

A QUICK SUMMER ESSENTIAL UPDATE!

'Benefit- Big easy'

Its that time of year again! Summer has fast approached and the temperature outside is rising and as much as i love summer, the heat can really make me feel sluggish, especially when it comes to my makeup!

On a hot day like today you may not feel like slathering on the foundation and coating your face in powders, but you want a close alternative, that's why i love this Benefit Big easy!

This complexion perfecter is a cream-to-powder formula with an SPF of 35 which is just what you need if you will be spending the day in the sun. It gives a lightweight finish and just evens out your skin, with out looking heavy. I took this on holiday with me last month and it was my absolute go to product every day and will continue to be whilst the sun is still out.

MY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS!

So I've just recently celebrated my big 18th and it was the first birthday for as long as i can remember that i didn't actually have a big birthday bash planned. I guess this is because my boyfriend and friends had planned for us all to go for a week away to Majorca as a birthday present just 5 days after my birthday so i was quite happy to spend my big day just having fun with my family.

Considering i wasn't expecting to do much for my birthday it turned out to be such a great day! I got some lovely gifts and spent the first half of the day (if i'm honest) dying my hair and eating cupcakes! My mum booked for us to go for a meal as a surprise that evening to this gorgeous Italian restaurant called 'Zizzi'.

These are a few of the snaps i got outside of the restaurant. 

  The food was amazing and this life size horse soon became the life of the party! The staff allowed us to climb it so as you can imagine after a few glasses of wine we where like kids in a candy shop!
