Current Nail Polish Picks

 

 

Today I thought I would share my current nail polish picks, the shades I am loving on my nails at the moment. As you may be able to tell from the photos, all these colours are quite similar, they are all red toned pinks and purples. Right now I am wearing Barrym Gelly nail polish in Pomegranate which I am absolutely loving! It is a vibrant red with some pink tones through it.

 

In order the nail polishes are:

Champneys Mulberry,

Avon Cherry Jubilee,

Barrym Pomegranate,

Avon Pink Radiance.

 

I can't wait to wear these darker polishes for Autumn/Winter time, to add some colour to my completely black outfits. One colour I am missing in my collection is a dark navy/black polish, so make sure to comment below if you own any good ones.   

Tartan kind of day

 

Top // New Look
Skirt // New Look
Scarf // Jennifer
Khaki Jacket // New Look
Chelsea Boots // Primark
Black bag // Dorothy Perkins

One of my favourite things about autumn is bringing back the scarves and layering clothing. I love the fact that a scarf can add colour and pattern to a pretty basic outfit, like I was wearing. My tartan scarf is from a French shop called 'Jennifer', but if you're looking for a similar one check out Topshop, Primark and H&M's winter collections. And yes I did wear two items of clothing both with a different tartan print! I actually really liked the look of them paired together, along with a plain white top and boots. I wore this outfit out for lunch (which was so delicious..), and it suited the occasion perfectly. Overall I think this look is girly but still comfy and casual. I recommend buying yourself a printed scarf to add some more WOW to your outfits for the months to come, and to keep you warm too.  

My Autumn Look

 

 

 

Since the season of Autumn is now here, I thought I would share with you an autumn makeup look today. Autumn is probably my favourite season, I love the fact that the dark lip shades are coming back as well as the fashion which is my favourite.

 

To conceal blemishes and dark circles I used the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer. This works well in the colder months as it stays on your face pretty much all day. For powder I used the Rimmel Stay Matte, another cult beauty favourite. On my cheeks I went for a peachy, shimmery shade. I used a blush palette from Sleek in the shade 'Lace', and went for the middle colour named 'Guipure'. I find this shade works as a highlighter as well as a blush, adding some colour.

 

Base done, and moving onto eyebrows. I have really been enjoying the Maybelline Brow Drama recently as it adds some colour and keeps my brows in place all day. I use the shade 'Medium Brown' just in case you were wondering. For eyes I kept it quite simple, another great product from Maybelline; the Colour Tattoo in 'On and on bronze' all over the lids. To finish off the eyes I used No7's Lash Impact mascara. I have done a review on this mascara so if you would like to read it, click here. And at last the main part of this look, the bold lip. I absolutely love the shade of this lipstick and I am so happy I can wear it again, as I forgot I even owned it, it's been so long! It's from Avon and is in the shade 'Very Berry'. How Autumnal. It is not a full bold lip, it has some sheen to it and the colour is a berry red, making it very wearable.

 

I hope you liked this post, make sure to leave me a comment if you did! I am hoping to post some more Autumn style posts soon so look forward to that and I'll talk to you next time.





Pamper Routine and Essentials



I'm a great lover of having Sunday's to chill and pamper myself just before the long week ahead. The types of products I generally use include hair and face masks, nails, and of course a bubbly bath! I adore the lush bath products as they smell amazing and create a lot of bubbles. Whilst I'm in the bath I like to play some music, at the moment I am loving The Mowgli's, Walk the Moon and Matt Corby, I would recommend going to check out their music! After shampooing my hair, I will use a hair mask. For a deep conditioning mask I like to use the Argan Oil hair mask which I bought from Savers for such a small price. I only use this mask once a week as it is quite rich and heavy. If I feel my hair just needs a little more shine I will apply the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle. Both of these masks are great and make my hair super smooth.

 

Whilst the hair mask is sitting in my hair, I also apply a face mask. Again, depending on how I'm feeling I will either use a fun, nice scented mask from Montagne Jeunesse which make my face silky smooth and lovely, or Garnier's Pure Active 3 in 1 mask. The second option gives me a deeper cleanse and helps to remove impurities. For nails I keep it simple and only use a sheer pink shade as well as a clear coat to keep things looking shiny. Go and check out my last post to read about my full Simple nail routine. And that's about all I do on a Sunday evening to pamper myself, and mainly watch The X Factor, or Gossip Girl on Netflix! Leave a comment telling me your main pamper essentials so I can pick up some new items and I'll talk to you soon.
