MY INNER BIKER

Jacket: Oasis (stores only) similar here

T-shirt: Asos

Jeans: Topshop

Boots: Asos similar here

I wore this outfit today and felt like all i needed was a Harley Davidson to finish off the look. I haven't done a fashion post in a while so i thought i'd share my OOTD and of course i had to include my leather jacket that i got for Christmas as a present from my boyfriend, i am in LOVE, honestly i live in it. The weather was so lovely and sunny today so i was able to just chuck this jacket on over  a plain tee, ripped jeans and boots which has got me super excited for summer.

URBAN DECAY VICE 3!

With all of the eye shadow palettes in the world i can not think of one that is more functional than the Urban decay vice 3 palette. This is because not only are the range of 20 colours absolutely stunning, but the shades vary from cool tone/matte nudes to shimery bright blues, greens and pinks meaning you could live off of just this palette for the rest of your days if you had to! I have had this palette since just before Christmas and i don't think i have reached for another eye shadow palette since and as always with Urban decay the pigmentation is amazing. 

I snapped these photos earlier when i created this look using 'downfall' and 'alchemy' through the crease and 'lucky' on the lid. I just love creating different looks with this palette and honestly it is most definitely worth the investment!

REVIEW: B. READY DAY CREAM

I have discovered a new and amazing day cream and i really wanted to share!

I have previously mentioned my love for Superdrugs 'B.' range when i spoke about their cleanser, i mentioned the fact that all their products are affordable and amazing quality and this B.Ready Day Cream is no exception. The thing that really attracted me to this cream is the fact that B. makes it very clear with their 'Skincare phase' departments which collection is best suited to your age range, naturally i searched the '20's-30's' range and came across this day cream which has an SPF 15.

I have become very attached to this cream and i use it every morning. Unlike a lot of day creams i have used in the past this one does not leave my skin feeling sticky, it sinks in to the skin so fast and leaves your face feeling super soft and just amazing, It also claims to 'protect against early signs of ageing for perfect looking skin'.
The only negative i can mention about this product is the packaging. As lovely looking as it is the plastic around the rim of the jar began to crack and crumble after a short while of me using it, which was a bit of a mess but not too much of an inconvenience!

B. Ready Day Cream- £4.98

GLAM GLOW SUPER-MUD CLEARING MASK REVIEW

I feel like iv'e abandoned my blog over the past month or so but i'm back now and it has given me a chance to plan a whole load of posts to do over the next month and the run up to Christmas, i'm going to have a lot to talk about and i'm excited to get back into the swing of things!

Anyway today i wanted to kick off by doing a review on a face mask that i have recently purchased and have absolutely fallen in love with, the face mask everybody is talking about the 'glam glow' clearing treatment. 

I purchased mine from feel unique for £39.99 after hearing a lot of good things about it. 

So where do i begin? this face mask claims to deal with pores, problem skin, blemishes, pimples, breakouts, zits, spots, blackheads & whiteheads. razor bumps and in-grown hair. Everything i need! 

Once applied the mask will start to dry, feeling tight and slightly tingly, which tells me its doing it job! As you can see from my close up it really gets to work drawing out the clogged up oils in your pores to the surface, and removing unnecessary oils from zits and blemishes.

You may think that after 20 minuets of having a dry face mask on your skin would feel dry when you washed it off too, but in fact it leaves your skin feeling smooth to touch, refreshed and clean. My pored where visibly smaller and any redness around my blemishes had pretty much gone. 

Another thing i love about this product is that you can use it just as a spot treatment too, so if you don't feel like you need to treat your whole face. just dab a small amount on a spot or problemed area and let it get to work.

I'd say this face mask is definitely worth the investment if you are looking for something that will cover pretty much any problem you may have with your skin, You really are paying for good quality with this one!

Hope this helped!

REVIEW: NIC'S PICKS REAL TECHNIQUE BRUSHES

I am such a massive fan of Real techniques brushes and have been for a while, so i was so excited to get my hands on this new collection of Nic's picks. In my opinion Real techniques just ALWAYS deliver the best quality brushes and get it right every time! I already have Sam's picks, which she released last year which were amazing so i just knew this collection would match up.

Nic's Picks consists of 5 brushes, 3 of which are exclusive to the set.

Duo-fiber face brush: (which i think may be my favorite) to be used with powders such as loose powder, highlighter or even blush. So soft on the skin and leaves a flawless finish.

Cheek brush: An exclusive, very similar to the expert face brush only this one is slightly more dense and shaped thinner, which makes it great for things like contouring and building pigment.

Angled shadow brush: Another exclusive. I love this brush too. Its angled shape makes it perfect for building up eyeshadow in the crease and blending.

Base shadow brush: This brush is perfect for patting or blending eyeshadow all over the lid. It's slightly tapered and very soft and fluffy.

Eyeliner brush: The last exclusive brush of the collection. This is perfectly thin and angled for applying either gel or powder liner, you could even use this to fill in your brows.

Over all i am so happy with this collection and would definitely recommend. I think they would make a lovely Christmas present for a friend or even just a treat to yourself!

L'OREAL INFALLIBLE 24HR REVIEW

I am most definitely a fan of L'Oreal foundations, in particular the L'Oreal true match which i have been using for a few years now, I've just always found that it was the best drugstore foundation so far so when i came across their newest foundation the infallible 24hr i wanted to  give it a go.
I've been using this foundation now for the past week just to try it out, and be sure that i like it and i have to say I've come to love it.

When comparing it to 'True Match' i'd say this one is much thicker, and just a tiny bit more coverage, but it blends easily enough and doesn't feel heavy on the skin which i enjoy in a foundation. It comes in i think around 8 shades and i bought the shade 'golden sand'.

In the pictures above i have not set powder over the foundation just to show exactly how it applies. It claims to cover dark circles, but i don't find that it covers mine quite enough so i put a touch of concealer under my eyes. All in all i would definitely recommend this, especially if your on a budget or just want a drugstore foundation similar to MAC, which i would say this very much is!

I can't tell you if it really does stay put for 24hrs like it says as i just have not tried, but i would definitely be interested to know if anyone has tried haha!

BALENCIAGA SS15

I've been a fan of  Balenciaga for a while now, worn by my all time style icon Kim K often, i am just always wowed by the sheer simplicity yet elegance of all their peices, So as you can imagine when i saw Balenciaga's collection for SS15 once again i was impressed and just needed to talk about it!

The colours from the show where kept minimal, mainly being blacks, whites and neutrals, with styles ranging from beautifully tailored floor length jackets to long net and mesh dresses, which i must add are my favorite! Some models where seen wearing these sci-fi type of glasses and sharp pointed shoes to complete the chic look.

 The overall vibe from the show was futuristic and modern and who better to be in the front row than my favourite, Kim Kardashian alongside Kanye and North, Of course all dressed in Balenciaga and once again pulling it off incredibly.
