OOTD - Frosty Friday!

Here in the UK it's been very chilly, so I thought I'd show you what I've been wearing this winter!...Well I'll show you one outfit...

(Sorry for the cheesy smile, my Mum was making me laugh while she attempted to use flash)

So here I'm wearing a simple high neck jumper from Primark, it's grey and white and I think the pattern on he front gives it a wintery, (if that's even a word), feel, it's cosy too! I've paired this with some simple dark grey trousers from Zara which you can't really see in the picture and some plain black chelsea boots, which again you can't really see in the picture...sorry folks!

Now on to accessories - my favourite! As you can clearly see I wore my big warm cosy coat with a fur collar - which unfortunately doesn't have a hood *le cries* - from Boohoo.com. I also wore a grey headband/ear warmer with matching mitten gloves both from Primark. 

I'm also wearing a little hidden treasure which you definitely can't see on the picture, it's this gorgeous little turtle bracelet! However he does not have a name! Leave a comment below what you think I should call the little fella...

 

Thanks for reading, I hope to do some more outfit of the days soon! 

Yankee candle

One of me gifts for Christmas was this gorgeous Yankee candle which is called fireside treats. Honest, it smells divine!! It is described as marshmallow grilles and that describes it perfectly. There's a sweet scent in there somewhere however  it has a burning smell to it also. (I apologise for how bad my description is but trust me it's magnificent!) 

Personally I think candles are a great gift ideas who doesn't like candles?  

Ps; I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas... What did you get!?!

Bows Before Bros!

So recently (very recently) I opened a shop on Esty, where I sell my handmade floral patterned bows, and I would be very grateful if you would check it out my shop is called 'delicatebows'. http://www.etsy.com/shop/DelicateBows?ref=search_shop_redirect
Here are a few snaps of the bows I am selling...

These bows really add something to your hair and make you look very cute! I see bows in loads of high street stores  like Topshop, and  they're like £12.00 per bow, my bows however, are £3.50 each,and if I do say so myself they are very cute and stylish. These bows will make great presents for friends, or even a little treat for yourself... just go bow crazy hahaha! Don't be afraid to contact me on Esty if there are any certain sizes you would like or any questions, I will be happy to help. 

Thank you.

Timoteí Hair Products.

About a week ago I picked up some 'Timoteí' shampoo and conditioner and I really like it! The main reason I was drawn to it, is because it is paraben free, I don't know if this is why but after using this my hair's natural curl shows a lot more which is a massive plus for me.

 

(I attempted some outdoor nature themed photography as you can see here haha). 

I have the shampoo and conditioner which has extracts of green tea in and you can smell this in the product,   and I really like this scent as its nothing too strong but gives it a natural scent. I like to comb my conditioner through when washing my hair so therefore the only thing that annoys me about this product is that it takes a long time. I wouldn't really recommend this product to someone who wanted to achieve a polka straight shiny hair look, but anyone who likes texture in their hair and have that beach waves effect, then this is the product for you. They only cost £3 each (with an offer on) so you an't really go wrong. 

They also have a few different ranges, like this one I also picked up which is for health and nourishment, so overall I definitely rate this product and highly recommend it, especially if you are wanting to treat your hair better (as this is paraben free and also organic) so why not give it a try? Let me know in the comments below any hair products you are using and if they are any good!:)

Thanks for reading.x

L'OREAL-'nude magique BB cream'

A couple of weeks ago now I bought L'oreal's new BB cream, and overall I am quite impressed with the coverage of this one. I have used a number of BB creams before as I like the light coverage they give and all the things that come with them (hydration/ SPF). Out of the ones I have tried this one lasts the longest, and will give me coverage to last a full school day. It also gives my skin a nice glow without being too shiny, and smooths out the texture of my skin, while still looking natural.

 The only thing this product could improve on is the range of shades they offer, I believe their is only three (light/medium/dark) I got the light one but I still find it a bit dark for my skin tone, and I have to mix it with moisturiser to achieve the right shade, I don't have really pale skin either. 

Overall I'm really enjoying using this product and I think the coverage is really good to say its a BB cream, if you're thinking of purchasing a BB cream I would definitely recommend this one, just make sure you have some moisteriser in case you need to adapt the colour! 

-Hope you enjoyed the post! Comment down below if you have tried out any BB creams and if so what your favorites are? :) 

Barry M Textured Nail Varnish Review

 

Hi! So I recently purchased one of barry m's textured nail polishes, and I was very excited to try it out as I love barry m nail polishes and I wanted to see how to the 'textured' affect was going to work out! When you first put it on it looks like a normal nail polish would look, then after about two minutes it starts to show bubbles, which gives it its textured look. (Sorry i'm rubbish at describing what I see haha!) They don't take too long to dry, about 10 minutes to be on the safe side, this is what they look like dry...

 



 

 

As you can see I went for the minty greeny/bluey colour and I really like the affect it gives, now I know this won't be everybody's cup of tea as people like their varnish to be very smooth and sleek, but I feel its quite a fun unique look and I will be definitely using this again, (especially in the summer).

 

 

 

If you're thinking about buying this I would recommend putting a base coat on first it really helps as it gives the varnish a smooth base to work on, and I wouldn't recommend putting a top coat on as I feel it will just ruin and smooth out the textured affect you have gone for. This polish was £3.99 and you can get it from shops like boots and superdrug, you'll also be able to get it online, so why not, treat yourself ;)

 

-Let me know if you have any barry m nail polishes, and what your favourites are?





 

Hi guys, 

I've only just joined blogspot today, this is all new to me,and i'm still to grips with the website, so bare with me! But I thought as my first post I would review my recently purchased naked 2 palette by urban decay..



For Christmas last year I was luck enough to recieve the naked 2 palette as one of my presents (yay), and I am so happy with it! Although this palette is a little pricey (around £30/40), I would now definitely say it is worth the money and I know this pallete will last a long time as I have used it a LOT and you can see in the pictures above it looks brand new. I love the fact that the shadows are so pigmented, it means you only need the tiniest bit of shadow on your brush to cover your eye for whatever look you'e going for, hence the reason we mine still looks barely untouched. The darkest colour in the palette is 'blackout' which I think is great for the lash line, and I sometimes even use it instead of eye liner as it works just as well! As if that wasn't already enough the palette comes with a double sided crease and shadow brush which works exellent with the shadows. With this palette you can experiment with many looks from a smokey eye to a natural eye and it will always look fabulous.


P.s. If you're thinking of buying one, places like debenhams often put 10/20% discount on their beauty ranges, so check out shop around first as you may be able to get the palette for a little bit cheaper if you're in luck!:)
