New Favourite Nude



I have been wearing Honeylove lipstick by MAC as a nude lipstick for a while now, but yesterday I was getting ready and decided to wear Rimmel London's Nude Delight lipstick. I bought this before Honeylove, and at the time thought it looked too fake and the colour didn't look right on me, but yesterday it looked really natural and lovely on my lips, and preferred it to how Honeylove looked.

Rimmel London- Nude Delight


Honeylove has a pinker tone to it than Nude Delight, which is peachy-er. The only problem I have with Nude Delight is that it doesn't stay on like a MAC lipstick. As soon as I have a drink or something to eat I have to reapply, whereas my MAC lipsticks stay on throughout all that!

Despite this, Nude Delight is my new favourite nude and I'll be wearing it most days, definately recommeded for pale to medium skin tones!

I went shopping....

I got this vintage floral dress in Tk Maxx for £18

Close up of the print, I don't think my camera captures how nice it actually is!

I finally got a coat! Also in Tk Maxx...£40. Was just what I was looking for!

Shoulder detail


Bottom of sleeves detail

Pockets...I love pockets!


Decided to splurge out on Estee Lauder's Projectionist mascara, £18.50

Absolutely clump-free brush! Love it
I invested in some Tweezerman Eyelash curlers! £12 at Boots...they are fantastic, come with 3 extra eyelash pads & a lifetime guarantee!

I ordered a Babyliss Triple Barell Waver from eBay, I got it for £23 but I think they retail for around £32


Wavy locks here I come!

Freebie Black 'n Gold Nail Polish



As well as seeing a couple of nice coats in Cosmo this month, I also got a free nail polish. There were 3 colours to choose from and I ended up with 'Black 'n Gold' from online clothing company missguided.co.uk
I really like this colour, as the name suggests it's black with gold glitter in it. The packaging is quite nice, I like the bohemian feel & the 'peace' sign. 

I think I'll be wearing this on my toenails when I go on holiday next month!

Winter Coats


I have been looking everywhere for my perfect winter coat for this year. I've been in all the high street shops, as well as clothing websites, but I still haven't found 'the one'!

It's beginning to get really cold here now, so I really need to hurry up and buy a coat!

All the coats I like are always way too expensive!  I have my eye on this coat however...it seems very reasonably priced...






 I saw it in Cosmo magazine, it's £35 from Asda, although I have just been online and they don't seem to have it...I hope they haven't sold out!

I'm also tempted to try a cape, they look comfy and cosy, but I'm wondering how practical they would be -it looks like it would be arkward holding your bag on your shoulder.




What coat will you be wearing this year? Are you a fan of capes?

Benefit Georgia Blusher Review


This blusher from Benefit is one of my favourite blushers. It's a lovely peach with subtle shimmer running through it. You can also dust this all over your face to give yourself a nice glow, but I only use it on my cheeks as my oily skin gives me enough of a glow!
It's a really nice finely milled powder which blends into the skin really well. I dropped the box a few months ago so that's why it's in pieces in the picture!
I think this suits most skin tones as I'm very pale but I also used this on my friend the other day. She looked great in it and she has olive skin.
