What I wore- Wednesday!

Hey guys!

Today was a surprisingly nice day, the sun was out and the sky was nearly all blue except the odd cloud and I have to say it put a smile on my face. I miss the summer now, I want to see the sun shining everyday and a reason to eat loads of ice cream. I thought I'd take a couple of photo's of what I wore today, although the photo's don't do the outfit much justice I wanted to show you all anyway!

January non-beauty favourites!

Hey guys!

This month has been surprisingly busy for me, it seems to have flown by! I thought I'd do a non-beauty favourites this month, just for a change. My 2013 favourites will be up soon, it's just taking longer than I thought, sorry! 

My first favourite has got to be Lorde- Pure Heroine. This album is stunning, the music is so relaxing. Her voice is amazing! I'm currently loving track 7 which is Glory and Gore and track 9 which is White Teeth Teens. I have the cd in my car and I have it on my phone. It's honestly worth a listen. I saw the album in Hmv the other day for £4.99!

My next favourite is a tv programme that I've been watching on nextflix. It's called Californication, David Duchovny stars in it. I've watched series 1-5 in the last few weeks and I loved it. I've heard that there is a series 6 and 7 but they aren't on Netflix at the moment. It's a funny, sexy, love story basically. The series follows 'Hank Moody' a famous author and his baby mamma 'Karen' who's love he can't shake off, it's basically a struggle for them to be together but also to be apart.

Earlier this month we bought a food processor, so that I could make smoothies, which has definitely been one of my hobbies lately! I'll normally just buy some frozen fruit and juice and blend them together but I have been looking at some other recipes including broccoli and carrots that I might give a try soon.

Lately I have been loving silver jewellery and a piece I recently bought is from H&M, it's pretty simple and basic. It's a tiered necklace with a cross, coin and a silver bar, I just think it adds something a bit more special to any plain boring outfits.

This one is kind of beauty related… sorry! Since I'm studying beauty therapy at college, this month we were doing eye treatments, so I decided to have semi-permanent eyelashes done and I really enjoyed them. It was so nice to wake up in the morning and not have to worry about my make up as much and I probably saved a ton of mascara. I opted for short but thick lashes, it gave a nice sultry effect that was gorgeous paired with a smokey eye. If I have them done again (which is more than likely) I'll blog about them so you can see!

Sorry it's not the greatest photo!

Hope you guys are having a great year so far! What's your favourites?

2013 Favourites- Perfume edition.

Hey guys!

I decided that I wanted to share my favourite products of 2013 with you, but I have had to separate it into a few blogsposts because I simply have far too many things to show you! So my first post is going to be on my favourite perfumes of 2013.

Chanel Coco Noir is the perfume I was actually gifted after passing my driving test, I wanted it for Christmas 2012 but we couldn't get hold of it anywhere, it was completely sold out, so my mum kindly bought it for me as soon as she saw it back in stock. I wear it as an evening perfume and to me it smells expensive, classy and gorgeous. I love the bottle, it's classy but edgy. Chanel describes this perfume as- "Black is like nothing else. It's radical, exceptional and fascinating. It's enigmatic elegance hold a promise of the unexpected. From this deep, rich black emerges a unique olfactory experience. A luminous oriental. A fascinating, incredibly seductive presence emerges, redefining all codes. Coco Noir. Through black… light revealed".

This perfume has top notes of grapefruit and Bergamot, a floral accord of Rose and Jasmine and Indonesian Patchouli and Sandalwood which add warmth. Although it's a stunning perfume it will set you back £75.00 for the 50ml and £106 for the 100ml for the eau de parfum. I would definitely spend the money on it again because I like it so much and you don't need a lot to last you all night.

Another of my favourites would be Vera Wang Rock Princess eau de toilette spray. This is completely different to the Chanel coco noir. It's a lot lighter, definitely wearable in the day. It's sweet and feminite but slightly seductive. The bottle is ok, nothing too special but it's nice. It's a black heart shape bottle with a grey/silver pattern across the front. With a crown shaped lid (which I've lost…) This perfume is a dark, fruity and floral version of Vera Wang's original princess perfume. "Rock Princess features opening notes of fruity white peach and raspberry that blend beautifully with a floral heart of jasmine, lily and rose. A base of cashmere, musk and coconut." This perfume is definitely less expensive than the Chanel coco noir only setting you back by £25.00 for the 100ml from Tesco. That's a bargain if I've ever seen one!

Bond girl 007 from Avon was definitely one of my 2013 favourites. It was released by Avon in 2008 to be associated with Quantum of Solace. It is a sexy scent, but light. "It features top notes of velvety white peach and orange blossom followed by mid- notes of jasmine, calypso orchid and freesia. The drydown consists of amber, cashmere wood and patchouli" I have no idea if you can still get it from avon themselves but I'm sure you could pick it up from Ebay for a super reasonable price. I like the packaging but not as much as the others, you can tell it doesn't cost as much as the other perfumes but it's nice for the price.

The last perfume I chose is Juicy couture's Viva la juicy. This is definitely different to my usual perfums. It's quite floral. I can only wear this somedays, I couldn't wear this everyday. It is strong and last nearly all day. Although to be honest I have the most compliments from men when I wear this perfume. The top notes are wild berries and mandarin, the heart notes are honeysuckle, gardenia and jasmine. The base notes which add a bit of warmth are amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood and praline. (fact- It's been proven that men are attracted to vanilla.) This perfume is reasonably priced as it would cost you £47.00 for 50ml from Debenhams. I must say aswell that this is definitely my favourite bottle, it's heavy so not appropriate to carry in your hand bag but it looks gorgeous!

*I do not own this photo* How gorgeous is the bottle though?

I hope you enjoyed this post, I will upload my favourite make up bits soon! What were a few of your favourite products in 2013?

A day in the life blogpost- Weekend away!

 Hey guys!

This weekend we travelled up to Northampton to visit some family for a Christmas get-together, I wanted to vlog but I didn't get chance, so I decided to take some photo's and blog about it for you guys.  

We ate here on the saturday.

These hats were for sale in one of the shopping centre's we visited
I was tempted to get one :P 

Cute little smoking hut outside a pub we went to.

Kinder bueno shake- yumm!

November Favourites- Beauty edition.

Hey guys!

First of all, I cannot believe how fast this year has flown by! We're in December which means only one thing is on my mind= Christmasss! I love this time of year, it's definitely my favourite season. Anyway aside from that, today I have my November favourites for you! I have a couple of bits but not too much as I've been putting money aside for Christmas presents instead of treating myself too much.

My first favourite this month is something I've looked at a few times in Boots but for some reason never bought it and that product is Bourjois' Volume clubbing waterproof mascara in the colour Black party. This time of year sends my eyes into a watery mess pretty much every time I step outside. The cold weather makes my eyes water, so I figured it's about time to buy a waterproof mascara and considering Bourjois mascara's have never let me down, I figured I'd give this one a go! The packaging is nice, easy  to open, easy to use, overall good. I also noticed on the back that Bourjois tested this product at foam parties, which definitely helped me pick this one, If it lasted a foam party then it must be good right? Well I have to say I like this mascara, it gives nice volume and length to my eyelashes and sticks well through all the tears but is also relatively easy to get off with make up remover at night. I like the brush because it's bristles rather than plastic and it's a cone type shape where the bristles get longer and thicker at one end and get thinner and shorter towards the tip- ideal for getting into the inside corner lashes.  My only fault with this mascara is I wish it was darker, I like to add a darker colour underneath just to make it deeper.

My second favourite is another new product to me and it is Rimmel's spark it up! Gleaming eye darkening liner in the shade 300 ultraviolet. I picked this up from a local beauty outlet for just £1.29 which was a steal! I have been loving this liner towards the end of November simply because it's different to your usual black eyeliner. It gives your make up a different edge and I like that. It's dark enough to look good but has a purple hint that bring out the colour of my eyes. I really suggest picking it up if you come across- it's such a nice product and superb for the party season.

Another Rimmel product made it into this month's favourites which is a re-discovery for me. It is the Stay matte long lasting pressed powder. This powder is all round great, it is long lasting, it keeps my face matte nearly all day and it's a super reasonable price. It doesn't go cakey if you touch up and doesn't cling too much to dry patches. Its a great staple for anyone's make up bag.

Since it's in the autumn/winter I decided to dig out the maroon/burgundy make up products in my collection and one that I'm loving again this year is a creme blend blush from Mac in the shade Restores dazzle! I love creme blushes and this colour is perfect for this time of year. I do believe this one was part of a collection but I'm sure Mac do other similar colours. A stippling brush is great for this type of product. You really don't need a lot at all.



My final favourite for November was the Real Techniques pixel-point eyeliner brush. I've neglected gel eyeliner for a long time and I'm glad to be using it again. For a while I took a break from wearing any black liner but I have to admit I miss it. This brush is perfect for a precise line. It's great with black eyeshadow aswell as gel liner. I love using this brush much more than any other liner brushes I have, I highly suggested picking it up. I bought it with the eye set from Real Techniques. They're great quality brushes for the price!

So that's the end of my favourites for November, I hope you enjoyed this post and I will see you in January for my December favourites! Merry Christmas if you don't come back for another post before then!

What I wore- wednesday

Hey guys! Today I thought I'd share what I wore on my face with you.

(Let's ignore the mad hair eh? )

ooh lovely side profile! ;) 

Base- A mixture of a Guerlain beautybooster in the shade light and L'oreal true match foundation in the shade CI ivory rose.

Bronzer for contouring- Mac hibiscus kiss from the Riri collection.
For a bronzed glow I used Guerlain Terra Ora sculting powder.
I used Nars Deep throat blusher on the apples of my cheeks.
Highlight on my cheeks I used Mac's cream colour base in Pearl.

On my eyes I used elf primer with a bit of mac morning frost paint pot over the top. On the outer corners I used pink T from the Soap and glory tricks of the shade palette. (Although I'm pretty sure you can get it in one of their quads too!) I then used Vanilla from the same palette on the inner half of my eyelid. With Diamonddust as a highlight on my tear duct area and on my brow bone. I swept a light line of the dark shimmery brown from the Sleek storm palette under my eye. I used Soap and glory supercat liquid black eyeliner pen to create a small flick. And to finish my eye I used Topshop mascara 'Lash catcher' from the sisters of the moon collection (most Topshop mascara's are the same just in different packaging).

And finally I used Mac's embrace me lipstick for the gorgeous neon pink on my lips.

We had to have a 'deep in thought' photo didn't we?

What's on your face today? Cam xxxx
