Now that Autumn has arrived and is in full swing, I have been digging through my jewellery collection and picking out my favourites. My favourite items always seem to change season to season and I definitely think this is because my wardrobe is transitioning into the cosy and dark green heaven that is Autumn.

My newest addition to my collection for this season is the black velvet choker with a hanging bow detail. 


I really like how this piece could dress up a casual outfit for an evening and I definitely think it would layer up well with some silver or a second simple choker.




Keeping with the choker theme, I have also been loving this ruby choker from Topshop that Maxwell bought for me for my birthday, as it is my birth stone. 


It seems to fit my neck really well and also is a great piece for layering and adds a bit of an edgy tone to an outfit.



I am not usually one for buying gold items but I am really loving the hints of gold throughout the autumnal colours at the moment, hence the running theme.

One of my older pieces that fits quite well with this is my tiger face simple gold chain necklace. 

Unfortunately, this is sold out and I cannot find it anywhere but was originally from Topshop but I adore it SO much.



Last, but definitely not least is this watch from Christian Lars. This was kindly gifted to me by my dad for Christmas and it has been a staple ever since.

Unfortunately, again, I cannot find this anywhere to buy online.

However, I definitely think that it is most suited to the autumn/winter season as the gold and black face and leather strap detail pairs really well with the dark auburn and green colours that cloud my wardrobe.

Thanks so much for reading and I am SO excited to get lots of wear out of these throughout the season!

Hello Lovelies!

Today is a little bit of a different kind of post as I want to share my thoughts about where I am in the blogging world at the moment.

Recently, I haven't been posting for near enough a month now and the only reason for that is that I just have not had the drive to write any! I have not had any inspiration for posts or not even the interest in sitting down and taking the time to write one. 

I have just started a new job and have also been taking lots of trips out with Max to play Pokemon GO and have definitely found myself either too busy or with no motivation to post at all. The longer I left posting anything, the more nervous I became to even post the simplest of reviews.

I also have found myself becoming scared to post the things that I want to post rather than just beauty reviews all the time, so I definitely want to switch things up and make sure that I experiment with my content a lot more.

I love writing posts and getting your feedback and reviewing things for you all but I never want to force out a post as it just will not be interesting to read and you will definitely be able to tell the lack of motivation and passion behind the words.

So what I am going to do from now is not promise a post at a certain time, there might be two posts in one week or no posts for a couple of weeks, just depending on how i'm feeling and how busy I am. Like I have mentioned previously, I have never been making posts just for the numbers or readers but I make them because I love to express my creative mind and share my thoughts on the things that I truly love through this platform.

Thank-you so much for listening and I am sure there will be new posts super soon!

Love you all and I will speak in the next one :-)

Hello Lovelies!

In this post I thought I would talk to you about my all time favourite cream eye-shadow base that I tend to use 90% of the time.

It is of course, my Maybelline Color Tattoo in the shade On and On Bronze. The thing that I the most about this shadow is that you can use it as a sheer base or really build it up for an opaque metallic colour.

 The texture of this isn't really like most cream products that I have used before. It seems a lot dryer than other formula's which I find great as it does not crease or slip around your eye lid during the day and also sets in no time after applying it.

 The tiniest amount seriously goes such a long way as well as it being super easy to apply. 

 The brush that I usually apply it with is the one that you get free with the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette and I find that the flat brush end is really good for packing on the colour and really pushing it where you want it to be and the other fluffier end is perfect for blending out the harsh edges.

 Maybelline do such a nice colour range with these so if you haven't already, I would highly recommend checking them out!

 You can buy them here for only £4.99 - Maybelline Color Tattoo

Hello Lovelies!

Next up in this two-part Zoella Beauty weekend is Le Fizz.

I tried this bath fizzer out for the first time a few nights ago and it definitely lives up to its name. Firstly, it smells SO cosy! Just like the bath latte, I definitely would use this for a cosy bath in the evening when you want to have a good night sleep.

The smell is definitely a lot stronger than the bath latte but I haven't tried the rest of the range yet to make a judge but I think this is more aimed at making your bath smell lovely rather than doing anything else exciting to your bath, unlike the bubbles in the shower milk.

If you have tried any of the bath fizzers from the previous collections then you will know that there is only about 6/8 squares (I can't remember the exact amount) but in this there is lots more, although they are smaller. I actually think that the smaller squares makes it a lot easier to get your money's worth as you don't have to use the large chunks.

Just like the Bath Latte, I absolutely love the packaging. Just like most people, I am obsessed with rose gold at the moment so this just ticks all the boxes for me!

Hello Lovelies!

So this weekend I am going to be focusing on Zoella Beauty's new launch; Sweet Inspirations. 

As I didn't do a blog post last weekend (I have no excuse), I am going to do a two part post over today and tomorrow about two of Zoe's new products that I managed to pick up a couple of weeks back. 

First up is the Bath Latte and isn't the packaging ADORABLE?? 

As well as looking like a milk bottle, it also smells like the cosiest warm bed ever so it is definitely a bed time kinda bath.

The bubbles this creates definitely aren't the kind of bubbles which make you unable to breathe but are also not the kind which just disappear after 30 seconds of being in there, definitely the middle ground of the two as you can also use this as a shower gel.

The Bath Latte is formulated with almond, cacao and honey which makes my skin feel so soft and nourished afterwards. 

I think my overall favourite thing about this product is the packaging. Some of the previous Zoella beauty packaging has been a little too young or girly for my taste but this collection have definitely seen Zoe take on a different approach. I especially love the rose-gold cap, but who wouldn't?!

Happy Sunday Everyone!

This week I thought I would tell you the things that I am looking forward to and hoping to achieve throughout this summer.

Now that college is almost over, I want to make sure that I have the best couple of months off to make up for how stressed out I have been since September.

________________________________

1. I want to go to the gym more. 

This seems like a pretty straight forward goal for a lot of people but I really am so unfit, the type of unfit that gets out of breath when running up the stairs (no, really). As well as this I want to tighten myself up a bit in area's such as my stomach!


2. I want a healthier lifestyle.

This definitely ties in with the last point and they definitely both go hand in hand. I really want to start eating a lot cleaner, going for more walks and taking more time to de-stress during the college months. I think it is really important to have some me-time once a week to really not have to think about anything but pampering yourself!


3. Find a job.

I have been putting this off for a while, not because I didn't want to work or earn money but because of was scared of the unknown. I find it super hard to put myself out there to do something that I am unfamiliar with because of my anxiety, but I've been applying for jobs and am definitely on the right track now.


4. De-Stress.

As I mentioned before, I really want to start taking more time for myself so that I don't get myself low from worrying. I will definitely do a me-time post if you're all interested!

I am also really looking forward to my birthday this year and me and Maxwell are going away! Only to Birmingham for the night but that means lots of shopping eek! Expect a post about that one in just over a months time as well as lots of new product reviews and hauls :D

Hope you enjoyed this little lifestyle post! I really loved writing it so let me know if you would like to see more of these.

I have recently set up a Facebook page for you to head over and give a like! - HERE

Happy Sunday Everyone!
_________________________________

So this week I thought I would show you a part of my beauty stash that I don't think I have ever actually spoken about on my blog before and that is my fragrances.

In this post I am going to talk about my day to day go to fragrance as well as the one that I ALWAYS reach for in the evenings or more special events.

___________


This is my day to day fragrance and definitely has been since it came out. If you didn't know, I am a big fan of Lady Gaga and when this was released I just had to have it! It is a black liquid and is sweet but definitely not sickly. It is a very light fragrance and easy to wear.



I received this perfume as a birthday present for my 17th (nearly two years ago! Don't remind me D:) and I wore it as a daily perfume for about a year! After that, it seemed to be getting a bit low so I started to wear it as my evening perfume and I loved it even more. The scent is very strong and extremely long lasting. It smells very sweet but at the same time very fresh and almost floral. It has definitely become one of those fragrances that makes me excited to go somewhere whenever I wear it!

Thanks for reading this little post, I hope you liked this introduction to the other part of my beauty stash!
