Favourite Outfits!

Not too long ago I did a Boohoo haul and not all of these clothes are Boohoo but most them are. These are just a few of the outfits I've been wearing lately, some going out ones and some more casual! (Apologies for quality, they're all off my iPhone)

This first one os mostly Boohoo. The top is one of the ever so popular tie up tops, although this one is a bodysuit and also a halter neck so has no back. I've been so weary of these because I don't like getting my boobs out and I didn't feel like they were big enough to look nice in something like this but I tried it anyway. From Boohoo I also bought a pair of them stick on bra things and they actually work really well! I've just ordered another pair. This makes me so less self conscious and they stay on all night too! The skirt is also a Boohoo find and it's just a cute floaty skater skirt that you can match with anything! The boots are just ankle boots from New Look that I wear on most nights out!

This is one of my all time favourite outfits. Both are from Boohoo and the top is a cropped top with the thick chocker attached. I'd wanted one of these tops before and finally found one that I could still wear a bra with! The skirt is panelled with glitter and it looks so cute but the glitter literally gets everywhere, I've still got it all over our couch! I never usually get to dress up as elegantly as this so I loved being able to dress up.

This top is from Boohoo and again I wore it with the stick on bra. This is also a bodysuit and goes much lower than the other one but I'm not sure which I like best! I paired it with just simple denim shorts that I've had that long I can't remember where I got them from!

This outfit is just another combination of the previous ones but I love this s one the best. It's cute and girly but also elegant at the same time! Also the same shoes again!!

Another Boohoo find is this backless dress. It has a high neck which you can't really see in this picture so from the front it looks like a plain dress but then you see the back is open. You could wear this with no bra but I've got into the habit of wearing it with this pretty sports bra just be a bit more interesting! 

This casual kind of outfit is just my fave printed pants from Select with an off the shoulder top from New Look tucked in. This necklace is so pretty that I bought two, in different colour, off Boohoo! I wear them a lot!

Lastly is my fave pants again (I try not to wear them all the time!!), just a slouch top from Asda and my new bralette from Hollister. I fell in love with these immediately because they're so pretty and can be worn under anything. I also bought one in cream that has kind of a star pattern on the back!

So they're just a few of the outfits I've been wearing lately, I like taking different pictures of my outfits, most of them are all on my instagram! Hope you enjoy,

Stay Happy

April Favourites!

So today I woke up with every intention to film my favourites video today but I guess my body had other plans. I've got a horrible cold and my voice was sore and I looked all washed out so I decided to write a blog post from my bed instead. 

So to kick off my favourites is this skincare product.

This is the Simple Smoothing Facial Scrub and I've been using this so much recently that I've ran out. I have dry skin around my nose and this has been a god send for me, it works really well, and yeah it doesn't smell the best (abit artificial) but for me I don't really mind. I'll definitely be getting more of this this month.

Next is a hair product.

This is the Tresemme Instant Fresh Dry Shampoo.   I got this from my first ever Glossybox and I was pleasantly surprised. And I hate to admit it but I've used this a lot this month. It's been an extremely busy month and sometimes I haven't had time to even wash my hair but this is my saviour. I've used some pretty bad dry shampoos over my time but this one is great. It does get rid of grease whilst I'm in college, it smells nice and this bottle is small and so it fits nicely in handbags.

The next thing is another hair product,

This is the Body Shop Ginger Anti-Dandruff Shampoo. The flakes in the hair around my face was starting to look too noticeable and even after I'd tried Head and Shoulders it still wasn't getting any better and I found it hard to go out without a hat on. So I researched into this and couldn't find a bad thing about it. So I bought it and I still can't find anything wrong with it! I know some people don't like the smell of ginger and I thought I wouldn't like it but it's not over powering and your hair doesn't smell like ginger the next day either. I cannot recommend this enough if you have a flaky scalp!

My next product is a lip product.

This is the Rimmel London Color Rush Balm in the colour Keep Mauving. This was new this month because I wanted a change in colour and even though this looks quite brown it actually isn't.

It's actually a really nice pink colour but it's not very bright. It's so hydrating and the colour stays on my lips all day. I'm really impressed with this and I really want some more in different colours.

(They also smell like Mini Eggs!!)

My next thing is a BB cream.

This is the Rimmel London BB Cream Matte in Light. I've been wearing this a lot this month because I couldn't really be bothered with my foundation. This is apparently much better for your skin and I've had less breakouts because it's so light. The problem is that because I haven't seen the sun for a while here this colour is a bit too dark for me, even though it's Light. So if you have really pale skin I wouldn't suggest this because there isn't much choice in different shades.

My next is an eyeshadow.

This is the L'Oreal Paris Color Appeal Platinum in Raw Copper. I've only recently started wearing this colour and now it's my go to colour. I think I've been wearing it more because I think it looks amazing on green eyes and I think it matches the colour of my tips pretty well. I don't know if they still sell this product/colour so I've just linked whatever I can find.

My next thing is a nail polish.

This is the Revlon Top Speed Nail Varnish in Cloud. I think I got this in a set for Christmas which is why I can't find it in Boots or Superdrug. But this is a really pretty blue/grey and I think it suits the pastel trend at the moment so I've been wearing it a lot of my nails this month.

And lastly is a highlighter.

This is the Mememe Beat the Blues Highlighter in Pearl Pink that I got from my Glossybox. I'd had my eye on this for ages and I'm so happy that I got it in my box! It glides on so easily and it's such a lovely shimmer. The perfect liquid highlighter for me!

And they're all my April Favourites! What are some of yours?

Thanks for reading,

Stay Happy!

Nail Varnish

I have always hugely been into nails, and I just love it when my nails look pretty. I've kind of cooled down a bit now, but I went through a phase where I bought a few nail varnishes every couple of weeks and I guess that they've just built up after all this time. 

This is my nail varnish collection. It mostly consists of Barry M nail varnish because you will see later that Barry M is definitely my favourite. But there's also loads of random brands that I've been given too by friends and family.

Also you can see that I own lots of nail art pens. I got these for my birthday (36) and I think my mum got them off Ebay. I don't think they were overly expensive but you get a good choice of colours and lots of variety.

So I thought today I would show you some of my favourite nail varnishes, and brands and also why I like them and where I got them from. Out of my many nail varnishes I chose 9 that I absolutely adored.

So I'll go from left to right.

Firstly is of course a Barry M Varnish. This colour is called Teal 334 and it was £2.99 from Superdrug. You can also get any of these Barry M products from Boots and other stores like that. I love this colour because it's a bright shimmery blue, and under the lights it looks gorgeous. It's also iridescent which made me fall in love with it further. I think this is a very summery colour and it also looks great on toes.

The next one along is an Essie Nail Varnish. I think I was treated to this polish for my birthday, and we bought it from a nail salon where I had my nails done. This colour is Wild Thing by Essie and I'm not really sure how much they are so I researched it and found it would be Approx £5-£7. You can get Essie from any stores like Boots if they have an Essie counter and I recommend this colour. Its quite like a plum purple with a hint of pink. But I love this nail polish because there's little bits of silver glitter within the polish which makes it sparkle. This colour isn't in your face so much, so you could pretty much wear it with anything. It also dries quickly too which is a bonus!

The next nail varnish is my clear Barry M nail polish. I don't know where I'd be without this top and base coat. I'm quite impatient when I'm waiting for my nails to dry and usually end up smudging them but this Barry M is so quick drying that it usually solves my problem. It was also only £2.99 which is a bargain! Again you buy this nail varnish from anywhere that sells Barry M products but I recommend Boots or Superdrug.

The next varnish along is a Sally Hansen nail polish. I'm not quite sure how I came across this nail varnish, I think it was given to me by a relative but I fell in love with it immediately. It's the Insta-Dri varnish in the colour Teal-y-fast. The fact that it's got a great name should sell it to you but if not then you should know that it is definitely quick drying. I don't usually trust a quick drying varnish because most of them aren't but this one is so fast. You don't need loads of coats of it either to make it look thick which I think helps speed up the process. It's like a glittery, shimmery teal colour, which looks AMAZING under lights. I found it to be Approx £3.

Both of the red nail varnishes, the glittery one and the plain one, are both Sinful nail varnishes. I'd never heard of sinful before until I bought these at my local hairdressers. They came as a set with two others but these two colours work so well together. The glittery one is the colour Romp and the plain one is called Lust. On their own they are both great colours but together they look amazing. Romp is simply just clear varnish with red glitter in. It looks great but takes quite a few coats to make a real difference which could cause it to become too thick. Lust is also one of the best reds I've found to date because it's a bright red. With Romp over the top of Lust, it makes an amazing nail varnish, that's bright and glittery, perfect for Christmas but also summer too. I think they are approx £5 each.

The nail varnish in the middle is a W7 nail varnish. Again I can't remember how I stumbled across this varnish but it caught my attention because it was a matt polish. I absolutely love matt varnishes (forever looking for a black) and when I saw the colour of this I love it even more. It's simply just called 84 Matt Green and I love the colour. It's like a bright turquoise green that looks amazing on tanned skin. Great for summer and the texture is perfect. Approx £3.

The next varnish is another Barry M. This is called Silvery Lilac and it was £2.99 too. I loved this colour because it was iridescent and looked different when you looked at it from different angles. There are hints of purple, lilac and silver in there. It also has has tiny parts of silver glitter in it, making it sparkle under the light. This makes this varnish a fun colour to wear, and even though it isn't bright I think it's still a statement colour. I got this from Superdrug but they're also sold in shops like Boots etc.

The next varnish is also ANOTHER Barry M. This is one of the newest Barry M products, the Gelly Hi-shine Nail Paint. The colour of this one is Greenberry and it was £3.99. More expensive than usual but it's definitely worth it. I also got this from Superdrug. This has become my all time favourite nail polish right now. It was the perfect summer colour which is why I bought it, and because it's the Gelly varnish it gives off such a smooth and bubbly(?) texture that made it fun to wear and got lots of interest from my friends. Looks great in the sun and also on your toes. I highly recommend this nail varnish for a holiday or just for a bright change, it's SO worth it!

And finally the last varnish is of course a Barry M one. It's one of the special polishes that came out a little bit before Christmas I think. The colour is Yellow Topaz and it was £2.99. I also bought this from Superdrug, but it can be found in Boots etc. I've always wanted one of these top coats for my nails because I wanted it over the top of a colour. I mostly use black underneath this polish because I think the contrast between gold and black really stands out. The varnish is simply just clear polish with big gold bits of glitter in. But the parts of glitter aren't too big that they take over the whole nail and they aren't too small that you can't see them, they're the right size. This is a great nail varnish and I recommend this for maybe a more special occasion, like going for a meal etc.

So that is my collection of my favourite nail varnishes. I'm sorry if it's too long, when I start writing I can't seem to stop. I hope this helped you if you were planning on buying a new varnish, or hope it entertained you if you were just pondering. Anyways thanks for reading and let me know if you have any of these varnishes and what you think of them.

Stay happy,
