OOTN, Lush Blogger Event!

Playsuit- Topshop

Tights- Primark

Boots- New Look

Bag- Topshop

Hey lovely's, I attended a Lush blogger event in Exeter saturday night so i thought i would show you what i wore. This was my first blogger event so i had no idea what to wear (panic!!), i went for a payday shop and picked up a few new bits (haul to follow soon) and decided on this playsuit from Topshop, i thought it would be great to wear as its not too dressy but smart enough for an event. I wore some black tights, and black cutout boots keeping it casual and making the playsuit a bit more appropriate for autumns cooler nights, and i kept my hair and makeup pretty simple and natural looking.

I hope you liked my outfit, has anyone else been to a blogger event? what did you choose to wear?
My next post will be more about the actual lush event so look out for that if your interested in what went on!

Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover!

Hello there lovely's, 

todays review is a product i have been loving and i think it deserves a big shout out! Now as much as i love painting my nails, one thing i don't enjoy is taking it all off! I actually hate it, i just cant be bothered especially if i've used glitter polish and have to spend a good half hour scrubbing away at my poor nails. I just found myself wishing for a magic wand to magic it all away.... and it seems someone has answered my prayers along came Bourjois with their Magic Nail polish remover!

All you do is dip each finger in the pot and twist it around until the polish is removed, it claims to be instant one second removal but i would say it defiantly takes longer (at least 5), however i usually have a good few coats on my nails what with base coat, a couple layers of polish and a topcoat. 

The reason i love it is, it's mess free and quick, and even takes stubborn glitter polish off a great deal faster then ordinary remover or pads. 

The Magic Nail polish remover is Acetone and Paraben free and is also enriched with sweet almond oil to nourish the nails, i like how i don't have to wash my hands after and it doesn't dry out my nails like other removers. 

It's available in Boots and Superdrug for £4.99 which may seem expensive for a nail polish remover but i've been using mine a good couple of months and it doesn't seem like its going to run out anytime soon. Overall i'm just really impressed and i wont be going back to regular nail varnish remover now, Magic all the way! 

Has anyone else tried Bourjois Magic Nail polish remover? What did you think?

Skin Care Tag!

Hey lovely's i've got a tag post for you today! I was tagged by the beautiful Harriet from Byooteeblog go and check out her blog this girl is amazing with makeup! This is the skincare tag which i thought was quiet a good tag for me to do to share a bit more about my skincare with you.

Describe your skincare routine in 5 words
Cleanse, exfoliate, toner, serum, mouisteriser!

What's your skin type?
Oily, my oily skin has been the bane of my life! It was awful to put up with during my teenage years not only did i have shiny skin to deal with but also the spots that come with it. Its not as oily now have to be careful what products i use so i don't dry out my skin which makes it oilier, i am also always spending my time looking for makeup that will last the day and not slide off in a couple of hours. The only plus point for oily skin is apparently you age better but to be honest i think all the stress my skin has given me is going to give me wrinkles anyway....

Top blemish Zapper?
I currently use the Garnier pure active roll on which is the best thing i've found at reducing the size of a spot, i really want to try Oragins super spot remover as i've heard really good things about it.

Face wipes yay or nay?
Nay! I am loyal to my Bioderma i really don't think that makeup wipes can compete with how well it removes makeup and leaves the skin clean and fresh.

Toner yay or nay?
Yay, i do like toner and it is great at giving your skin a final cleanse and closing the pores before moisturizing, i am just not the best at using it religiously, if i'm in a hurry to get ready toner is what i would drop from my routine.

High end skin care or high end makeup?
This is a hard question! I feel that if i had to i would choose to keep high end make up, i think that you can easily find great makeup and skin care in drugstores but i'm slightly more makeup obsessed!!

What's the most unusual skincare product you've tried?
Hummm i really don't think i've used anything that could be described as unusual, no experience with bee venom or snail slime here i'm afraid.

Tell us your top skincare tip
My top skincare tip would be to remove your makeup properly before bed and to apply a good moisturizer as its overnight that your skin really replenishes and repairs itself.

Galaxy Nails Tutorial!

Hello there lovely's, i've got a new nail tutorial for you today! Luckily it went well this time as the last one i did went so terribly i didn't bother putting it up, i will attempt it again when i have a day when i have a lot of time and a LOT of patience! I've seen a few people with galaxy nails and i think it looks so good i decided i had to try it for myself, i am a lover of galaxy print as you will no if you saw my OOTN galaxy dress post. So if you fancy trying it for yourself keep reading...

What i used-

Base colour- Rimmel 800 Black Out,

White- BarryM Matt White,

Colours- Rimmel 809 Blue me Away, 180 Purple Pulse, 025 Strawberry Fizz.

Glitter- Rimmel 500 Disco Ball,

Top Coat- Essie Matt About You.

Models Own nail Art pen in white (can also use a cocktail stick or nail dotter)

Makeup sponge (sorry always forget to put something in the pic)

Step One- 

Paint two coats of the black polish, to get an even dark base. 

Step Two-

Take the sponge and dip it in the white nail polish and start to dab it onto the nails, you don't want to cover the entire nail just do a sort of strip, do it in different directions on different nails.

Step Three-

Take a dark colour like a navy blue and sponge that onto the nail either side of the white strip, it really doesn't have to be neat. 

Step Four-
Take a slightly lighter colour like a purple, and sponge that on in patches around the other colours.

Step Five- 
Sponge on some more white over the top and then sponge on a brighter colour like a pink or lilac.

Step Six-

The finishing touches, apply some glitter polish onto the black spaces on the nails. To make the stars use your nail art pen and draw little crosses on a few of the nails and make a few dots over the nails. 

And to finish add a topcoat to seal it all together, i used a matt topcoat as it gives a really interesting finish. 

This really is easy to do you don't have to be neat and precise to get a good result. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, have a go for yourself!

September Glossybox, London Edition!

Hello lovely's, this months Glossybox is a London themed box to coincide with London Fashion Week! I am so impressed with this months box, how amazing is the union jack box design and the illustrations on the tissue paper, i do love it when they make a themed version. 

This is what i received in my box,

Elizabeth Arden, Untold-

"A luxurious and modern floral fragrance, Untold celebrates the sophistication and intrigue of the multifaceted woman. From her vibrant optimism and refined feminity to her mysterious aura and magnetic sensuality. Untold's sparkling and fruity introduction, radiant floral heart and mysterious addictive warmth captures femininity in a bottle as beautiful and multifaceted as woman herself" (Wow hats of to whoever came up with that perfume description...)

This is the first Elizabeth Arden perfume i have sampled, its not a perfume that i would have found myself drawn too in a shop (far too sophisticated looking) i wasn't expecting to like this perfume at all but i actually do its quiet a strong musky fragrance not like the light floral scents i usually go for but i find once its had time to sit on the skin i really like the smell. 

Eyelure Pre-glued Lashes-

"Eyelure's pre-glued lashes mean no mess no fuss, no waiting! Simply remove the lashes from the tray and apply to get a natural looking perfectly full lashes everytime!'

I have tried these lashes a few times before and really like them. They really are great for anyone like myself who struggles to apply lashes. I find the fact that you don't have to use glue so much easier and a hell of a lot less messy. I find the stickiness lasts a couple wears, and they come with a couple of extra sticky strips for extra use. 

Toni & Guy Hair Meet Wardrobe, Classic Shine and Gloss Serum-

"The classic shine and gloss serum controls frizz with lightweight shine and alignment."

I haven't tried this serum yet but i was really happy it was in the box and am looking forward to trying it, i really enjoy using hair serums they make such a difference hopefully this shall impress. 

Be a Bombshell Cosmetics, Onyx Eye Liner-

"Onyx's best selling eyeliner will last you throughout your entire day, no matter what how hectic it is! With a felt tip to draw a thin line for a casual look or a thicker line for a dramatic look, its super easy to apply and only takes seconds to dry."

I haven't actually worn this on my eyes yet but i've tested it on my hand and it is a black, black colour which i like as i'm sometimes disappointed by eyeliners that aren't dark enough blacks. Its quiet a big thick looking liner tip but the line it produces is the perfect thickness, i can imagine its going to be long lasting as it doesn't smudge easily on my hand. 

Rimmel Stay Blushed Blusher, 001 Pop of pink-

"Rimmels first liquid cheek tint, comes in an impossibly light formula that wont clog pores but will last up to 24 hours. Perfect for any occasion, it blends seamlessly to create a long lasting, natural flush of colour, a must have for autumn/winter!"

I was really happy to find this in my box as i was going to buy it myself so that saves me a purchase! 

Again i haven't tested this out properly yet, but i've tried it out on my hand and the colour is lovely and the formula feels really nice and easily bendable, i will probably do a proper review when i've used it a couple of times. 

I was really happy with this months box, i'm impressed with everything i received, its been my favorite box yet!

Did anyone else get this months Glossybox what did you think?

OOTD, Green and Gold!

Top- River Island,

Jeans- Topshop,

Boots- Missguided,

Jewelry- Primark.

Hey lovely's, I'm really missing the summer and the fact you can leave the house without a jacket and a brolly! However i am actually starting to enjoy dressing in the A/W trends, i'm finding myself lusting for snugly scarves, gloves and comfy knits, and i cant wait to go for a good shop and pick up a few new season bits. I bought this top last winter and i still love it, i always get compliments when i wear it, the dipped hem is really pretty and great if i want to wear it with leggings as it covers my bum, the gold detail at the front just makes it a bit more interesting. Im wearing my all faithful Topshop Leigh jeans as the skinny fit means their great for tucking into boots. The boots are from missguided and you cant see in the pictures very well but there sequined at the back, i heart these shoes so much!!!

Is anyone else really getting into the new season dressing? What are you loving right now?
