Top 5 Beauty Products | Beauty

Hiiii! Today I've been feeling really ill, and been so lazy! Snuggling the dog and a hot water bottle all day. (Also decided to pass my French revision till tomorrow)oops. 

But back to the subject, I have 5 amazing beauty products that I have researched thoroughly and have put them in a 'beauty chart', if you like. 

1. Weleda Revitalising Hair Tonic, £9,95. I recently read about hair Tonics and I really liked the sound of it. With highlighted hair, it often gets dry and brittle so having something nourishing to use once or twice a week is great. This has rosemary oil, horseradish leaves and stonecrop to promote faster growth (YES!!!) and healthier hair shafts. It also smells AMAZING..with a price like that I think this is a must have.

2. L'Occitane Dry Skin Hand Cream £19. Chapped hands in winter? Same. It's something that I never used to get but ever since last winter, when the cold weather comes so does my dry skin. Having soft, moistened hands is the best! With Shea butter, honey, almond and cocounut oils, your hands will be as soft as silk, but it is a little pricey..

3. Chanel Le Vernis [in] Rose Moiré £18. Rose Gold jewellery is trending this autumn, and recently the trend has spread to our nails! This is an amazing colour for autumn and winter, it's gold, you can't go wrong. Super Chick.

4. Legology Air-lite Daily Lift For Legs,£60. When used daily, it encourages lymphatic drainage, improves circulation and wards off cellulite PLUS toning and tightening! Must admit, this is a bit of a Mum product, but the toning bit sounds great too me! A little bit pricey though..

5. RiRi Loves MAC Powder Blush Duo in Hibiscus Kiss, £23. With its stunning rose gold packaging and amazing shades, I simply adore  Rihanna's new makeup collab with my fav makeup brand. This two in one product it's perfect for contoring, blushing and even blending together for a  beautiful all over warmth. Beautiful!

Hope you liked this post and I should be posting again this week with some fashion trends. Speak soon!

Autumn's Here | Fashion & Beauty

Hi loves!

Not spoke in SOOO long, so i decided to do an extra long post for you all. I firstly want to start off by saying i hope you had a Fantastic summer and you are enjoying the slow transition into the falling leaves, rain and wooly jumpers. Autumn is my favourite season and i have so many fashion must-haves and beauty tips for this time of year! I also want to fill you in on a little i got up to over the summer and after. 

I have just arrived back from Germany. I stayed just outside Cologne in a lovely, quaint town called Boppard and everything about the area was just so lovely! I visited a Cookery school, a Chair lift to the top of the rhineland around Boppard (where the views were just breath taking!) and visited the Chocolate Museum in cologne. I had such a lovely time with my friends and i hope to take my mum there some day!

So, back on to autumn exciting-ness! First i am going to be talking about Beauty for this season, i just love the way you can change your makeup depending on the weather and events!

Here are some of my most recent purchases;

- Touché éclat in shade 2 - Estée Lauder £21

Autumn makeup ideas and tips

As you can see from my buys, i believe in autumn most the attention should go on lips and eyes! I think it looks simple and beautiful when just using a concealer to cover up blemishes and spots (recommend Mac Cover Up concealer) and a highlighter to brighten dark circles and tiredness (recommend Touché éclat) without going all out using a full foundation. Just make sure underneath you use a good moisturiser that delivers moister into your skin throughout the day to keep your skin glowing. For the lips, go for colours of leaves that are falling! my personal favourites are Bright oranges and plums, they remind me of halloween and cinnamon and trees AHHH its all so exciting and cute! One shade that is the killer of all shades this season is Giorgio Armani Rouge D`Armani in Rouge 402, its a dark hot pink, warm and plumy(if thats a word?). I just love it. Below Kylie Jenner rocks the dark pink lips captioned "Dark Lips for Fall".

With the eyes, in autumn i like to stay away from the blacks and silver 'smokey' look. I think eyes look great with a light brown in the crease and a soft peach on the lid, or just a natural peach all over. Use matts and stay away from shimmer unless for a night time look. The browns are like logs and leaves and again linking it all back to the seasonal colours. For eyeliner use a Brown, thinly line your eyes leaving a small wing and then blend it so it looks soft and not too hard. I promise you this will bring out the colour of your eyes, too. Powder over your makeup, add bronzer to contour the cheeks and T zone, then rose blush and you are sorted!

Fashion ideas and tips

Fall is pretty easy going with fashion. I love thick scarfs or Snoods, River Island have some particularly nice ones in at the moment. I also am addicted to black, sounds sooo boring - but mix up the textures. 

Eg. Leather Skinny Leg trousers, Chiffon Black blazer and Wooly Scarf paired with some plain chelsea boots, at Berry or red lipstick and your sorted! For the more colourful people out there, try a floral Kimonos with a white cotton vest underneath, with some red waxed jeans and a cream scarf paired with Beige Uggs. 

Thanks so much for reading this post and i PROMISE i will never leave it this late again! I feel terrible. Shout out to @harrietfanpage (instagram) for reminding me... school is making me forget about the more important things in life. Anyway, thankyou thankyou thankyou, i love you. And i hope you enjoyed reading!!! 

All my love
