OutfitOfTheDay :)

Okay, So i told you guys that I was going to a photography studio to have my picture taken profesionally... That is true and I did do that... The only catch... Casual was the dress code :/ Okay so im standing in my bedroom admiring my nicely done makeup (if i do say so myself) in a nice dressy outfit :) Only for my mum to come in and tell me 'Thats not casual' to which i replied 'CASUAL!?' After, a dress down and one black and beige coloured makeup wipe later I was ready to go in my Jeggings, a Summer top and my favourite cardigan... A swipe of mascara and some gladiators and Im out the door... Stepping into a puddle placed convienently right outside my front door... Good Old Great British Weather...

Anyway so this is my outfit of the day...

I really needed to make that Text bigger :/ Hmmm
Cardigan - £9 - Primark      Top - £5 (On Sale) - Miss Selfridge
Jeggings - £6 - George at ASDA

Also by casual that meant Bare Minimum Make-up, and bare minimum as in on coat of mascara and good to go... so theres not much point me showing you my make-up look. But i will show the mascara I swear by...
Dun Da Da Da!!! :)
Estee Lauder Sumptous Bold Volume Lifting Mascara :)

I absolutely love this mascara! It's a bit pricey for £18.50 but It lasts quite a while. I was first introduced to this mascara when I got a free sample and I kinda put it in my makeup bag and kinda forget about it. Then one day I lost my normal mascara - (Max Factor - False Lash Extension Effect) so i decided i would try this one... WOW! Am i glad I decided that!  (Don't worry i've found ,my old mascara now)

(Also, I only straightened my hair and had my parting in the middle rather than on the side, nothing amazing done to my hair... only casual stuff)

Okay, Shoes Shoes Shoes... :)
I was debating whether to wear my Converse or My Gladiators and decided on my gladiators because ya know it's summer!... Kinda.


^^^ These are my gladiators :) I LOVE THEM! :) Im not sure if their from New Look or Linzi... Hmmmmmmm (I'll Let you know as soon as I find out!)
                               

Okay Guys :) So that's all for today... (Gets distracted by the 'torrential rain' outside!) It's absolutely pouring down :) I love the rain!!! But only when im having a lazy day... or a lazy night :)

Okay so comment your thoughts about my outfit or if you have any questions or any suggestions...hey, that ryhmes :) Yeah any suggestions for new posts I could do :) and I will see you tommrow :)

Thanks for reading :)
Love yaa  :)

August Favourites :)

Hey Everyone,
So since it's coming to the end of the month, i thought today would be a good day to do my August favourites blog and Im really excited about it because it's my first 'favourites blog' and I hope it turns out good :) So lets get started :)


Okay so the first product is the 'Redken All-Soft Conditioner'
So I really like this product and Im yet to try the shampoo but
this conditioner is REALLY good and it makes my hair feel SO
soft even when ive dried it because you know some conditioners
only make your hair feel nice while your in the shower and when you dry it it kinda doesn't feel any different to normal... But this Conditioner is NOT like that, this conditioner makes you hair feel GREAT! I love it! :)




Next is a product from Lush and It's called the 'Sunny Side'
This is one of the Lush Bubbles Bars and it's great because it's about £2.95 and you only use a third each time.. that Three baths for £2.95! Okay so you can see it's all glittery and it smells kinda like tangerines.. or oranges. So yeah you run a bath and about half through running the bath you crumble about a third under the tap and it starts to bubble, and gradually your bath is filled with a Gajillion Citrus-y smelling Bubbles... How AWESOME is that!?




Okay, So I realise this is kind of an old-ish product but I bought quite a while ago and I used it alot and then we moved house and it got all mixed up with some other stuff and ive kinda only just found it again and i have not stopped using it! It think ill need another soon! And this is the 'Harajuku Lover Perfumes' and the one im talking about is the one called 'Love' and This one is the original one.. so not the summer one or the winter one... No this is the original one and it smells kinda... Floral and sweet.. It's my favourite out all of the Harajuku Fragrances (including the winter and summer ones) When I went and bought it the lady on the counter/stall thingy said it was their top selling one so.. Awesome :)


The next product is the 'Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser' and I like this moisturiser because I use it once ive washed my face and because it's a light moisturiser it doesnt make your skin feel greasy or anything like that and it also doesn't clog your pores which is great because you don't want your moisturiser that causes spots... It's also a really good price its around £5.00 depending on where you buy it, and the bottle is totally cute too :) Im a big fan of simple products mainly because i have such sensitive skin and I find that simple is great quality and a great price which is mainly what you look for in your skin care products.


Next is the 'Barry M - Fine Glitter dust' in 'Lavender' (sorry the picture is so small.. but any bigger and it was all pixalated - is that how you spell it pixylated... pixelated...?)
Anyway... You guys know that one of my favourite colours is purple and when i saw this i just had to buy it! The colour is very pigmented, thats great which means you don't have to use alot of it, so your eye lid isn't caked in make-up and it also it means it lasts longer which is awesome :) This is a really good price too, it's around £4-5 which is great considering how long it lasts and all of the shades avaliable are really cute and summery.


Lastly, is the 'Miss Sporty - Mini Me Eyeliner in Raven Black'
Usually, I don't really buy Miss Sporty products but I was in desperate need of an eyeliner one day and my mum said I could borrow one of hers and this was the one I used and I absolutely LOVED it! It doesn't have to be sharpened because it has that little twisty thingy so its like a mechanical pencil... But a mechanical eyeliner... Okay... So yeah so I had this on all day and it didn't even budge off of my water line and I didn't have to re-apply it at all and it looked great even at the end of the day! So Hallejuah! and also it's only £2.49! How great is that!?



Okay, So i hope you enjoyed my August Favourites Blog and Please Comment below if you have any requests or questions about any of these products or about anything and also if you have any more kinda blog taggy thingys tell me your ideas! :) I have a '5 Random things in my room Tag' coming up real soon which will be awesome! :) Oh! That reminds me... Tommorow is kinda gonna be a Special kinda post because tommorow Im going to a photography studio to have my picture taken with my cousins like a grandchildren thing for my nan :) so yeah and I have to dress up so I 'look nice' :P So ill be showing you my OutfitOfTheDay and Hair and Makeup and Such :) So I can't wait to show you guys that.. That should be up tommorow night... Im going to the studio at I think 12... so it'll probably be up about 5... 6 maybe... If it's not up tommorow (which it should be!) It will be up the following day.. but  I don't see why i can't do it tommorow so yeah.. that should be up tommorow :)

So Ill see you then :)
Thank you for reading and Don't forget to comment :)

Love You Guys :)

My Skin Care routine :)

Hey Guys :)

So for this post i thought i would show you guys my skin care routine :)

Okay, so as soon as i get up in the morning i go into the bathroom and i do my morning skin care routine...

1. I use 'Clearasil Stayclear Skin Perfecting Wash Sensitive Skin' Which is specially designed for daily use to help clear and prevent breakouts. Around £2.99 from Boots.

2. Next, I use the 'Clean and Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser' Which is specially formulated to start acting against blackheads from day 1, removing dirt, oil and dead cells trapped deep in your pores. Around £1.99 from Lloydspharmacy.

3. Then i use 'Simple Kind To Skin Hydrating light Moisturiser' Which is a perfect blend of active ingredients and vitamin goodness to keep your skin hydrated and nourished all day long. Around £3.29 from Boots.

Note: I also make sure to drink atleast 8 glasses of water per day, and I always have a cup of green tea when i wake up and before i go to bed (Cranberry juice is a GREAT subsitute if you don't like Green tea).

Okay, Now for my night-time routine:

1. So, Again I use my 'Clearasil Stayclear Skin Perfecting Wash Sensitive Skin' first.

2. Then I use 'ASDA essential care Clear skin Blackhead treatment pads' Which are developed to help reduce sebum and open pores and help protect against bacteria that causes spots and blackheads - These are only £1 from ASDA.

3. Then i use the 'Neutrogena wave duo' £9.99 from Boots and 'Neutrogena Wave Blackhead eliminating pads' £4.99 also from Boots. The Neutrogena wave's gentle vibrating motion stimulates the skin's surface to help unclog pores and helps refine your skin's texture.

4. Then, Again i use my 'Clean and Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser'.

Note: 3 times a week i also use 'T-Zone Blackhead fighting exfoliator' around £4.99 from Superdrug - After I use the Blackhead treatment pads.

So, that was my skin care routine :) I hope it helps you out :)
