I hope you've all had a great weekend, this is what i wore yesterday its a pretty laid back outfit as i didn't get up too much in the day other than getting my hair done, always nice to have a bit of a pamper especially as i had a night out with the girls last night. I've been wearing these leggings a lot lately, there super comfy and i love the shiny coating which makes them look a bit different, the rest of the outfit is really casual just a plain white t-shirt, grey cardigan and my new jacket which i am so in love with!

Don't forget to enter my giveaway, for the chance to win a Sleek blush by 3 palette in Pink Lemonade or Californ.I.A (Here)

January Birchbox, My Last Box!

I have been subscribed to beauty subscription boxes now for nine months. I first subscribed to Glossybox, followed by Birchbox who i have been subscribed too for the last four months. 

As much as i have loved receiving my boxes and have acquired some great products (my first two Birchboxes contained a Laura Mercier product and the latest January addition Benefits Porefessional and Philip Kingsley Elasticiser which i was happy with) i have just found myself feeling very underwhelmed with the boxes in general. 

I do think the idea is a great one, it's a great way to try and discover new products and brands i have found a few new favorites over the months, and it is exciting knowing that your having a box of new products to try delivered to your door every month. I just think for me the excitement and a bit of the novelty has worn off, most boxes only have one or two samples that i have heard of before and am excited about. I've also found a lot of the products always seem to be the same thing i have a handful of hand creams and cleansers waiting to be used that i really don't need. 

I have now cancelled my subscription although my experience with beauty subscription boxes has been a positive one i just feel that i could put that £12.00 towards other beauty items on my wishlist that i really want and need, so thats exactly what i'm going to do. 

Has anyone else got a bit fed up of Glossybox or Birchbox? Or are you still really happy with your boxes?

Dress- Topshop

Jacket- Topshop

Boots- New Look

Bag- Primark 

Necklace- Republic

Hey lovelies, I'm a happy girl today as i have the whole weekend off and am making the most of it, i have lots planned with family and friends to keep me occupied. I managed to get a few outfit pictures which was some task in the gale force winds i can tell you, and it was even harder to choose ones where I'm not being attacked by my hair or flashing my pants...

I love this dress its one of my favorites, the print is bold and colorful which is right up my street and the smock style is just so simple and easy to wear, i kept the rest of the outfit simple with just a back jacket, black cut out boots and a studded clutch. 

I hope you like my outfit, have a good weekend

Mini Mac Haul

Hello lovelies, i am very excited today to be sharing with you my mini Mac haul, i hope that it makes up for things being a bit quiet on the log lately.
Can you believe these are my first ever bit of Mac makeup?! I no your probably all tutting and questioning how i can even call myself a beauty blogger, the thing is there just isn't a Mac counter any where near me, i've never had the luxury of browsing the Mac counter but i decided i needed some Mac in my life. I asked in a beauty bloggers chat on twitter what you would recommend and what i should start my collection with, i got some great advice and i decided that these three pieces where what i wanted, i put them on my Christmas list and was delighted to unwrap them Christmas morning.

Mac Satin Lipstick in Pink Nouveau-
What better way to start my collection than with a lipstick, it was a very hard choice to decide on a shade there are so many i'm desperate to get my hands on but i thought a nice pink would be a great place to start. I chose Pink Nouveau, its a blue toned very Barbie pink and i love it! Its a bit bolder than your average everyday pink but i like a stand out lip and i think this looks great with a bronze eye look. The formula is lovely its creamy and has a nice sheen to the finish, i was also pretty impressed with the staying power.

Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle-
So many bloggers have raved about this i knew i needed to try it for myself, and wow what a gorgeous product it is. Its just the most perfect highlighter its not too overpowering but it gives the most beautiful subtle glow that is easily built up if you desire. The colour is a champagne/gold shade, that looks glittery in the pan but on the skin it gives a very natural looking healthy sheen, its just a wonder product and a definite new favorite of mine.

Mac Pro Longwear Paint pot in Let's Skate- 
I ummed and ahhed between trying an eyeshadow first or a paint pot and as you can see the paint pot won. I really have a thing for cream bases i love that they can be worn alone or layered with eyeshadow's. I knew exactly which one i wanted i had seen Zoella and Sprinkle of Glitter talk about it and its the beautiful Let's Skate. It is such a pretty colour a very pale pink, with a mixture of pink and gold shimmer. Used lightly across the eyelids its very subtle and the light picks up the fine sparkle beautifully, with a few layers the pick colour is stronger and just so pretty. This lasts really well and i had no problem with creasing, i will definitely be adding more paint pots to my collection.

I am very impressed and extremely in love with my new Mac makeup, i have well and truly caught the Mac bug and cant wait to add more pieces to my collection, goodbye ££££! 

What would you recommend i try next?

OOTD, Lime and Checks

 

Top- Topshop

Jumper- Primark

Skirt- Missguided (Here)

Boots- River Island (Here)

Necklaces- Topshop

I decided i wanted to start taking more outfit pictures outside as i think they look miles better than in my dark little bedroom, so i grabbed my mum much to her delight... and headed out to the road outside my house. If the neighbors didn't already think we were complete weirdoes i'm pretty sure they do now!
I really do take my hat off to the fashion bloggers who boldly take there pictures in busy public places, if i look awkward in the pictures that because i felt it....
Anyway the skirt is new, i got it last week from Missguided i'm loving check prints right now and it was only £9.99 which is such a great price. The skirt goes with loads, today i wore it with a lime green cami for a bit of colour, a black fluffy jumper, thick black tights and my new River Island flat boots which i'm obsessed with.

I hope you liked my outfit, How would you wear the skirt?
