Fashion Talk - My 5 Spring essentials!

Hay Dolls

OMG it feels like spring! I was so over winter..so much so that I faked tanned to feel a little bit more well summer girl than pasty winter ghost! Inspired by the recent does of sunshine we have received her in Scotland I thought I would do a little post on my top 5 spring fashion choices. Which is also like a little early spring haul cause I own these items. epic right! 

Essential number 1 - leather jacket!

River Island £60 

Steal her style - Nina Dobrev from TVD.

Hi Dolls

How all loves The Vampire Diaries? I do and even thou Elana is not my fav charactor, I do love Nina Dobrev. So pretty, I may have a girl crush on her style. So I thought I would steal it!

SUMMER is here. We all know what that means essential summer holiday shopping has to be done. 

Now actually I am a mighty believer in using what you already have. So this post is more about adding to what you already have rather than going out and spending £X on a new case full of cloths that your only going to wear for 2 weeks of the year.

I have loads of bikinis but now instead of buying 50 from Primark I buy one really nice one which I know will last me more than one trip. However this only works if your not going on a 18+,. Booz one your £30 bikini ant going to put you into the party mode or is that just me.

Shorts. I am reaching that point in by life were the low wast just isnt comfy. I love these because they are classic and simple can be down for the beach or classy for the bar depending on your mood.

Nice pop of colour for the sun and again beach or bar!

Now Maxis are amazing for holiday and this is would look great at the local pub or out for a nice fancy meal. Plus as its not floor length your less likely to trip! 

After the cloths comes the bling...these are all defo extras for me!

I love this case but its £60 :( you would look high class with it at the airport but I would be devastated if it came back marked.

To me Primark/New Look have defo got style and price perfect this season but if your looking to splash out these are so cute.

Now I have to say River Island Sunglasses are the bomb. I have had mines for 2 years now and they are still going strong. 

I love the aviators, £10 is actually a steal for these.

When it comes to jewls leave your MK or Stobos at home and go cheap. If it gets lost or goes walkie s (happened to me) you wont be crying into your cocktails before the sunsets. Get my drift. And when I say cheap I don't

 mean nasty, the above comes in at £5 and look so cute. 

Thanks for for reading don't forget to give a follow on bloglovin' to see more.

All can be found at River Island HERE and they ship to many places other than he UK too!

Review: Benefit Fake up

Hi Lovelies 

As you might have read from my last post, I done a little Benefit shopping and picked up their new concealer Fake It Up. Benefit describes this as a hydrating crease-control concealer, which hides dark circles and smooths out fine lines.

To me this is a nice concealer, with a brilliant highlighting power. I prefer this concealer for a night out, due to the highlighting power of this concealer. As you can see by my swatch on my hand its much lighter than my natural skin tone, the Benefit girl at Glasgow airport informed me that under eye concealer should be lighter, although I didn't think I should look like Caspar!

But anyways, the only bad thing I can say about this concealer is that its not for warmer climates, I bough this concealer at duty free on my way to Tenerife, where the highest temp at night would have been 20*C however the heat made the concealer to soft to work with and it kept sliding off my face, even after using a primer and stay spray. I believe this to be due to the conditioning balm, which can make the concealer a bit greasy. Ok, maybe their was more than one little problem.

However, other than the issue I had using it on holiday I would recommend checking this product if you like a very highlighted look for night time.  I hope you liked this little review, I have never written a full post on one product before and would love to have some feed back. :) 

Lancôme Haul

Hi Lovelies :)

How is your summer going? Mines has been pretty hectic, and I can only apologies for my absence :( sad times. But am back with a little Lancôme haul. Debenhams were doing a great deal last month not only did they have their 10% off (LOVE when this comes around) but they were also giving away a little Lancôme gift bag full of samples with every two purchases.

I decided to pick up one of their foundations, Teint Miracle in the shade 01. This is very light weight but gives great coverage. Really good for a night out, it also has SPF 15. I also picked up one of their Juice Tubes in Melon: I heard that these were great little lip glosses and I have to agree. Not only do thy taste great but they are none sticky...win win for me.

There was a few things in the little gift bag but for me the best were:

1. Lancôme Hydra Zen cream: which is a slightly thick moisturizing cream which smells lovely and for me is more of a before bed cream as it is a bit thicker. 
2. Lancôme Bi-Facil Make Up Remover: I was dying to test this out,as my friend raves about it so much but couldn't justify the price tag, but they gave me a 125ml bottle which for a free-be is well noting short of awesome. I haven't used much of this so cant really review it but so far its great. 
3. Mini Juicy Tube: this was in the red colour and was lovely.

I have loved all my Lancôme products and have to say have found a new obsession, if anyone has any recommendations for their products I would love to hear them. Please leave a wee comment below. 

Benefit Haul: summer 2013

Hi lovelies

As you can see from the title and pictures above I have been a little naughty, shopping at Benefit a lot. I should mention that this was not in all in one shop, it was gathered over a 3 month period. So here is what I got:

1. Fake Up Concealer: This is an under eye concealer, which I had to try as I have panda eyes. I am also planing on doing a little review on this watch this space.
2. Bad Girl Dual: (was actually a present) Water proof eyeliner and lash mascara, amazing pick one up if you get the chance.
3. World famous neutrals pallet: contains 4 powder eye-shadow's an two cream shadows. Review to come. :)
4. Some Kinda Gorgeous: This is a fake foundation, second purchase of this love it for those days were you feel like you need something but can be bothered going all out. Try it, trust be you will like it. 
5. Brows a go-go: This was one of those buys were you see it you want it you bought it...on the plain. I have a Urban Decay eye brow set that I barely use so I thought why not try this one and I have been using it a lot especially for nights out. I might do a little review on this as it is a good pallet. 

Have you girls/dudes picked up any Benefit products recently would love to read them. Please leave your link below.
