Missguided OOTD

Heya lovelies, hope you are all good! Today's ootd is all bought from Missguided and to be honest I am starting to buy quite a lot from Missguided recently as I do like a lot of their items, especially as it is all on trend.

 

This outfit is something simple, it can be an outfit for the daytime as it has a casual vibe about it but can make a unique look for the night time. This can be done by adding a stunning pair of blocked heels and wearing some stunning pieces of jewellery to bling it up a bit. To pull it all together add a nice clutch bag.

Vichy Skincare

Heya lovelies, sorry for not posting as much lately I've been so busy with work and buying Christmas presents I just haven't had the time. Hope you're all ok!

 

Recently I was told to try out skincare products by Vichy due to my skin getting easily irritated as it is really sensitive, and loads of products brought my skin out in a tonne of spots. Vichy as far as I know you can only buy from Boots stores in the UK, I still haven't managed to find it anywhere else. Its a little more on the pricier side but I really do believe that it is well worth the money.

 

 

The first Vichy product that I have been using the longest is the Purete Thermale One Step Cleanser which costs £11.00. I truly think that it is well worth the money as it acts as a make-up remover, a toner and cleanser; so three products in one what more do you want? I have noticed that it has quickly got rid of most of impurities from my skin and it makes the skin soft and feeling refreshed. As my skin is very sensitive it has not even irritated my skin like other products have done, very suitable for people with extremely sensitive skin.

 

   

The other Vichy product I Have been using for a few weeks now is the Normaderm Hyaluspot Cream which costs £10.50. This product is for imperfection prone skin and is a gel that is directly put onto your spots and acts like an anti-bacterial barrier. I noticed more by the second night it starting to work, with the redness of spots disappearing and within a few days the spots disappeared. Using this product hasn't dried up the skin by the spots, which I was really surprised by because I thought this would more than likely happen. The other great thing is that you're able to wear foundation over the top and it doesn't disturb the gel covering your spots, that is a definite bonus.

 

I use both these products together as they work extremely well and in the future I will try out other Vichy products to see if they work as well as these do, they may seem a little expensive at first but when trying them I do believe that they are well worth the money!

What I'm wearing

Heya lovelies, I hope you're all ok! I've noticed I haven't done much outfit posts lately so I thought while I have time of work it'll be the right time to do one. It is now the time of year where the weather is rubbish by raining most of the time and where you would rather stay in all day in pyjamas, snuggled up watching films. However, with enough layers of clothing you will want to brave the cold and rain.

 

I don't really wear dresses much during the daytime, just mainly on nights out so I fancied a changed and wore a dress that I recently bought but haven't worn yet. To my surprise this dress is quite warm paired with a pair of thick tights, I'm to much of a wimp to brave the cold without any tights. With these I chose to wear my new dark brown ankle boots with my frilly socks sticking out to add a little bit of character to the outfit, and then wore my parka jacket over the top to give the outfit an autumn/winter feel to it.

Look Fantastic Beauty Box

 

 

Heya lovelies! Last month I pre-ordered Novembers Look Fantastic beauty box and have been waiting with excitement for this to arrive, where yesterday it finally did. This beauty box cost me only £15, which I personally think is a very decent price because I received 6 amazing beauty products within the box itself. Ranging from lip and cheek tint to face cleanser, what a great variety. Don't you think?

 

 

 

None of these products I received I have never used before and I can't wait to try them all out. In this months beauty box I received: Hand chemistry Intense Youth Complex hand cream, New CID Cosmetics lip and cheek tint, Eve Lom cleanser, Nuxe Paris Youth and Radiance revealing fluid, Monu Professional Skincare recovery balm and Glamglow Youthmud Tinglexfoliate treatment mask. I must say a great range of products in just one small box, I'm definitely going to buy next months beauty box too, as it's a fab way to discover new products that you may have never heard of before.

Review: Rimmel London's Stay Matte Primer

 

After recently getting my new job I went and did a drugstore haul where I bought Rimmel London's Stay Matte Primer. At first I quite liked it; using regularly when applying make-up but overtime I noticed that it was no good for my pores. I noticed that it was no good for my skin at all, with it clogging up my pores it brought me out in a tonne of spots, not only that but it did feel a little heavy on my skin. Not a nice feeling of your face being caked full of products I must say!

 

On the other hand, it definitely did keep all my make-up in place and made it apply smoothly on my face, so instead of throwing it away I use this primer for my eyes when applying eye shadow, as it keeps it in place.

 

Personally I won't be buying this product again but that is only my view, for others this primer may work well for them. However, for me it does not work well for my skin especially with it clogging up my pores and bringing me out in spots.

 

 

Tell me your thoughts on this primer and if you have any other suggestions on primers I should try comment below :)

Bold Red Lips

Autumn/winter lipsticks trend is all about the berry toned lipsticks as well as the more darker deeper toned lipsticks, however the one lipstick that is very much an essential lipstick to have in your make-up bag is the red lipstick! Yes, the red lip can be used to add a pop of colour to your make-up and outfit as well as becoming part of a sexy look and style.

 

I have bought red lipsticks before but the ones I did buy I personally thought they were too bright for my skin tone (or could be the fact I'm not used to seeing myself wearing red lipstick) so I thought I would try a more deeper toned red lipstick with a darker undertone to it. The one I did but was Rimmel London's Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss collection, number 107. A matte red lipstick.

 

 

At first when I tried I thought it was too dark but the more I tried it on and wore it I became very used to it and has become one of my new favourite lipsticks, as it's a matte lipstick it lasted on my lips much longer and didn't dry my lips out as much as what I thought it would. I always ensure I exfoliate my lips, moisturise my lips before I apply the lipstick. Just to add a little moisture to my lips when applying matte lipsticks because some do dry out your lips.

 

I definitely feel that this is a great lipstick for autumn/winter and a definite great lipstick for a night out to add a little spice to your make-up and outfit, a great lipstick for all occasions.

P.S. if you have no lip liner apply either foundation or concealer to your lips and first line your lips with the lipstick, to make sure you don't go out of the lip line when applying your lipstick. The foundation and concealer will help your lipstick last longer throughout the day.

Joshua James Jewellery

Heya lovelies. I was lucky enough to be able to work with Joshua James Jewellery again and received another gorgeous bracelet. Where I also received a stunning charm to go with it! I would like to say a huge thank you to Joshua James Jewellery for the lovely gift and for letting me work with you again, I appreciate it!

 

 The bracelet I received was by a new Brand that Joshua James have, called 'Endless' and is part of their 'Christiana Collection.' This is a single white leather bracelet but you can get these in many different colours; and in single leather and double leather. Giving you lots to choose from! With this being a leather charm bracelet it makes it different and before I wouldn't of personally have thought of buying a leather charm bracelet. However, now that I have seen it close up I actually quite like the idea and it is growing on me every time I wear it.

I was so happy to receive a charm with this bracelet too as it gives a slight feel of what the bracelet would look like fully charmed. The charm is called 'Silver Heart Beat' and consists of three big hearts and then is made up of tiny detailed smaller hearts, making me love the gorgeous detailing of this charm. I am definitely going to buy and add more charms to this bracelet and style it my own way with other gorgeous charms from the collection.

Make sure you follow Joshua James on Twitter @JoshuaJamesJJJ and check out their website to look at many other exciting brands and stunning pieces of jewellery at http://www.joshuajamesjewellery.co.uk/

Leopard Collection

Todays post is about two cute bracelets which I received from Leopard Collection and I would like to say thank you for these lovely gifts.

 

The bracelet that I absolutely love and thought was a lovely touch when I received these items was the bracelet which was personalised specifically for me. It turned out to be a nice surprise for me when I opened my parcel. This bracelet says 'Chantz' and I thought this was cute because this is what most people who know me, call me. Instead of Chantelle.

 

The other bracelet I received was a sunflower bracelet and this I would definitely be able to wear with so many clothes because it is a simple silver bracelet which will go with practically anything. It is very cute and girly.

 

 

Make sure you give Leopard Collection a follow on Instagram @leopardcollectionx and check out their website https://www.etsy.com/shop/leopardcollectionx to check out their cute, affordable, bright and quirky pieces of jewellery. They will be great presents for friends and items for you to treat yourself because if I am right, all items are under £5!!

Make sure you give Style London a follow on twitter @StyleLondonUk and they do giveaways too. Check out their website www.stylelondon.co.uk and check out their gorgeous and in style clothes.

Drugstore Haul

Heya lovelies. Hope you're all well! It was payday Friday so I bought myself a few beauty products and thought I'd share it with you guys. 

I only bought what I needed and a few items that I've always wanted to try out.  

I don't usually wear lipstick but I thought I would try some out and hopefully I will try and find a lipstick colour I love. 

The first one I bought is from Collection and is called Cherry Pop and it was a bargain at £2.99. For the price it's a good product and lasts for quite a while but I think it is a little too bright for me. 

The second one is from Rimmel London and is called Asia and was £4.99. I personally do love this colour as it's subtle and could wear it all the time. 

I've never had or even used a primer before so I gave the Rimmel London Stay Matte Primer a try. It was £5.99 and has now become a part of my make-up routines. I thought it would be heavy on my face but surprisingly it wasn't; it feels light. A little of this product definitely goes a long way. 

The Rimmel London Stay Blushed, liquid cheek tint. Colour 'pop of pink' was £4.49 and I'm still not to sure whether I'm a fan of this product, to me it feels a little bit heavy on my cheeks and doesn't give my cheeks enough colour that I would like it to. Maybe if I try it a bit more I might find a way to use it that will enhance the colour. 

Rimmel London Wake Me Up concealer in the shade 'true ivory' was £5.49. This has become my favourite concealer as it lasts throughout the day, covers my dark circles and spots easily. Plus you don't have to use a lot of the product to ensure  that blemishes and dark circles are covered. This is definitely one of my must haves.  

Maybelline Great Lash mascara was £4.99 and Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Endless mascar was £7.99. I've only used these mascaras a few time an like them both as they don't make my eyelashes clump and they both lengthen my lashes greatly. 

Rimmel London Scandal Eyes eyeliners was only £5.49 and was a little difficult for me to use because I've never used an angled tip like it has before. It is a highly pigmented black, glides onto the skin easily an I'm sure when I keep using it, I'll get used to it and I will find it easier to use.  

MUA Pro eyeshadow palette was amazingly only £4 and I absolutely love the nude colours. All the shadows are very pigmented and I love this, all the colours within the palette I love and will be able to make many different looks from them. This is another one of my must haves and I will have to try other MUA products. 

Batiste dry shampoo 'coconut & exotic tropical' was only £1.49. I always wanted to try this and is one of my new favourites. 

Nivea pure and natural day cream for dry to sensitive skin was £2.69. I'm glad I brought this product as it does irritate my skin and doesn't bring me out in a tonne of spots and a little goes a long way. 

Johnsons Make Up Be Gone Clear Skin wiped were only £1.52. They smell lovely and easily remove my make-up, they don't irritate my skin or bring me out in spots.

B.S.Apparel tees

Heya lovelies. Sorry for the lack of posts as I've been busy working but keep a look out for a Primark haul as this will be happening very soon!! 

Firstly, I would like to say thank you to B.S.Apparel for the tees they have sent me and the first thing that I must say about these is that they are different to all the others tees I have seen around lately, making them very unique. They have definitely thought out of the box when designing these which is great and I hope they will get the recognition they deserve. 

The city tee and the dreamer tee are simple with just the black design but contrast well against the white and the gray of the tee themselves, which makes the designs stand out more! My personal favourite is the fatal attraction tee as to me, it's more luring and colourful. Oh by the way I think my brother is a massive fan of these tees, as he seems to wear them all the time now and I never get the chance to wear them myself. 

The other thing which is great is the company slogan 'true dreamers never sleep,' this is because it means you have to work hard to get what you want in life and it's such a great saying. 

Take a look at their website www.bsapparel.bigcartel.com as their autumn/winter collection should be arriving soon. So I'm sure there will be a load more great tees to come from them. 

Also, give them a follow on Twitter @b_sapparel and on Instagram @b_sapparel.

Dusty Pink

Heya lovelies! Sorry I haven't been blogging much lately, this is because I have got myself my first ever proper job and have been really busy working these past few weeks. Hopefully I will find a way to blog around my job more.

This latest blog post is about a new retail brand out in the UK called Dusty Pink and have only just recently launched their website. I would like to say a huge thank you to the dress that they have sent me, which is a blue bodycon dress covered with gold sequins all over, in a zebra print style look.  

This dress fits my body nicely and as a bodycon dress it isn't too tight to wear and you're able to still move freely around in it. Also it isn't too short and when moving around in it, it doesn't rise up like some dresses do. This is going to be one of my favourite going out dresses as I know I will feel comfortable and confident in this dress, especially with it paired with a gorgeous pair of heels. Plus every girl needs an item in her wardrobe with sequins on! 

Make sure you take a look at Dusty Pink's website as you will find gorgeous clothing at such affordable prices, the web link is http://www.dustypink.co.uk/ Also give them a follow on Twitter @DustyPinkUK, Instagram @DustyPinkUK and on Facebook- DustyPinkUk.

Stunning Wrist Candy

Heya lovelies, I hope you all are good! As we all know every girl is a sucker for a stunning piece of jewellery, especially pieces that suit your own style. I was kindly sent a gorgeous Links of London bracelet by Joshua James Jewellery, they sell many other brands such as: Thomas Sabo, Trollbeads, Lovelinks and many more. There will definitely be items of jewellery on their site that you will fall in love with and find something to suit your very own personal style.  

The gorgeous bracelet I was sent is called 'Links of London Night Time Garden Pearl Flower Bracelet' which has on it peach and lavender freshwater pearls and the main standout piece on the bracelet is a peach coloured flower, with a peach pearl in the middle. To me these colours and arrangements of the pearls make this bracelet beautiful and unique, so girly too. 

 

 

This bracelet suits my style perfectly and is a bracelet I would definitely choose to buy for myself. The great thing about this is that it goes greatly with my peachy pink peplum top and will go well with so many of my other clothes. I will definitely wear this out on a night out to use as a statement piece of jewellery and I'm sure I'm going to wear this all the time.

Thea Skincare Review

I was sent two lovely little samples of a creme cleanser and a creme moisturiser from Thea skincare Face Renew Fruit Enzyme range, which are meant to revive dull skin by using organic fruit enzyme extracts. These are designed to remove impurities, get rid of dead skin to make your complexion clearer, soft, dewy and firmer over time and are formulated to make them suitable for all skin types. All the products are vegan, not tested on animals and are Paraben and Sulphate free. 

I used these both on my face for a few days before I wrote this review to check how it acts on my skin properly. The first thing I noticed is the citrus smell of both of the products, which gives them a fresh type of scent. I used the creme cleanser first which was quite a light product on my face and had a silky like texture to it, then afterwards I used the creme moisturiser straight away. It is a little thicker than the creme cleanser but is not too heavy when applying to the skin; they both smoothly went over my face and a little of both of the products go a long way. 

I have very sensitive skin so when using some products they will irritate my skin and bring me out in a tonne of spots, even just after one use. However with these they made the spots I already had before using both products disappear quickly, they made my skin amazingly smooth and soft and got rid of all the dead skin off my face. With the number one thing I love about this product is that it is not tested on animals. I was personally very pleased and happy with this product as it did exceed my expectations, so I will definitely recommend that you check out their range of products and try them out yourselves.

Raffy Clothing

I have actually won something and I hardly ever win anything in my life! So first of all I would like to say thank you to Raffy Clothing for this tee I have won. 

The t-shirt that I received I believe is the new tee that they have not long released, it's a simply but quirky design and I personally love the design of the writing of the tee and do you know what!? I really do think that many girls will end up loving their tees too, they are so comforatble and are something for a casual daytime look by styling them up with a pair of skinny jeans or shorts, a pair of boots and maybe a beanie for an urban style look. 

If you don't fancy wearing their black tee they do a white tee so you can choose between the two. Make sure you go and check them out on Twitter @raffyclothing and on Instagram @raffyclothing and buy their tees at www.xposedfashions.co.uk 

Raffy black or white tee which one will you choose?
