Winter Beauty Favourites

I have never been the type of girl to buy lots of makeup or hair products, most days I’d just go with the flow (i.e. straight hair and minimal makeup). I only had one type of foundation and when it ran out, I would buy it again.

But recently I have discovered an undying love for beauty products, so I thought I’d share with you my winter favourites!

In winter; I hate to admit it; but my hair usually falls out, not literally like I go bald or anything (!) but each time I brush it, a few strands would depart from my head. But aha! This Herbal Essences Bee Strong Shampoo (and conditioner!) is amazing!!! It is even honey scented! I haven’t lost a lock this month – it’s brilliant, my hair is soft and silky, it’s even thickening a bit (which in my case is brilliant, as my hair is extremely fine.)

I thoroughly suggest this product to all of you who have this problem too :)

Next up is this philosophy body wash. Not really winter related but hey-ho! This one is the ‘Vanilla birthday cake’ and mmmmm it smells so good I want to eat it! (Don’t worry I didn’t) It is a 3 in 1, bubble bath, body wash and shampoo. You can probably pick this bad boy up at your nearest Boots store for around £14; they also do cute gift sets that come with a vanilla lip gloss too!

Next up is my Clarins ‘Instant Smooth Foundation’ and I adore it! I have it in shade 00 Ivory Beige, which is only a teeny bit darker than my skin tone, however it was the lightest, but it’s not so bad that you would notice. It’s slightly thicker than my normal liquid foundation and it leaves my skin feeling so soft – it’s lovely. I think it’s better to have a thinner foundation in summer because it’s warmer, and you don’t want to be a sweaty Betty with thick foundation!

Lastly, is my Benefit lipgloss. I got it free along with Elle's December magazine! It's called 'Hoola ultra plush lipgloss'. In a shimmering golden nude shade, it's perfect for day to night changes (It isn't as dark as it looks in the bottle, I assure you!) And it smells really nice too - almost chocolaty, I will most definately be purchasing the larger one after Christmas, because this one will most likely have run out!

What are your beauty favourites this season? 

Hope you enjoyed this post!

Lace it up

Lace is right on trend at the mo, so I thought I’d do a lace lookbook for you. Just in time for Christmas too – bring on party season!

Dress – Next £75

Shoes – New Look £24.99

Clutch - Accesorize £25

Bracelet – Accesorise £9

I absolutely adore this Next dress. Yes, it is rather pricey but think how long it would last! You could dress it up and down, it’s all down to the accessories (and the hair) they can make or break an outfit – so plan carefully! I would suggest a dark lipstick with this outfit, a dark red colour with smokey eyes would look great.

The clutch has a black lace overlay, which matches the dress in a simplistic sort of way, yet still matches the shoes (gotta love New Look!) and to top it all off the bracelet is within the baroque/lacey style too.

Personally, I don’t tend to wear too much jewellery – usually just earrings and one statement piece, but if you’re a jewellery addict you could add more bracelets with the same colours to achieve that vampy party look.

Hope you enjoyed this post, let me know what you thing below!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend,

Bouclé Chic

Recently I have seen quite a few of these skirts around and honestly, I WANT THEM ALL. They are popping up everywhere I go, it’s like they want me too (I know, sad right? But I’m just compensating for when I splurge all my Christmas wages on them!) 

Here are my top five Bouclé skirts:

1.         Burgundy Bouclé mini skirt

Oh my, how I love this skirt. You can find this lovely number at Topshop’s Studio.

Pros:

©    It’s bouclé,

©    Fits perfectly,

©    Is burgundy,

©    Has a cute stallion zipper!

©    It’s £50!

Cons:

©    It’s £50!

But I’m hoping that after xmas it will come down in price (fingers crossed) because it is just soo beautiful!

2.         Cooperative Brushed Pull-on skirt in Tartan

As you all know, tartan is all the rage right now, but many of you may be worried to try this trend due to the risk of looking too ‘punky’. But alas, Roseanne is here! (haha!) And I have found you the perfect skirt in perfect balance between punk tartan and highlanders, so here you are. You can find this sweet little number at Urban Outfitters for £30.

3.         Soft Grey Short Skirt

Nombre trois on our list can be found at Vero Moda for £25 and let me tell you – it is super duper soft! It has a knitted lining (to keep you cosy) and leather lining around the waist and pockets, which separates the block of grey colour. I’ll definately be treating myself to this little treasure next week (roll on payday!)

So, how do you like Bouclé skirts? Have you seen any you like recently? Let me know! Pop a comment in the box below (I adore reading them!)
