Monday Portrait Week #2

Earrings - Republic

Top - New Look

001. Hello again my lovely follow'ees!

So, last week was a wonderful whirlpool of happiness! Wednesday, I became a very proud owner of a gorgeous new leather jacket - Thank you topshop! Thursday, My new camera came, Canon EOS 650D..& its incredible! v.pricey, but the picture quality is incredible. I seriously needed a good camera as im doing art & photography in college I was in desperate need of a good camera and this has fit the bill completely! Then, on Friday the family and I went off to see Les Mis in the cinema, which was brilliant, as I loved the theatre performance of this show I wasn't sure whether the film would be 'as good' but -yes, it really really was. &as normal, I was sat there in floods of tears!(thank you waterproof mascara)

002. Its so nearly February half term and i'm literally buzzing, as i'm taking my boyfriend skiing! So on Saturday I decided to stock up on brand new ski wear, as Iv had the same ski wear for about 4years now, &iv grown..a lot! As recently iv been having a ridiculous obsession with red, iv decided to go for a red and white theme which ties into my white and gold ski boots!

003. Iv been doing a lot of online shopping recently! -It's an addiction, I swear! I just cant help but sit and browse through every website I can find to do with clothes from Ebay to Topshop! I'v been considering buying one of those peplum tops, a white v-neck one as it looks gorgeous, just have to wait until Riverisland get a batch through my size as the only have 14 and 16 left.

004. I know its February now, but Im still very sluggish from January, and trying to find motivation to do college work and getting myself back into any form of routine! So recently, iv been dosing up of gingerbread lattes just to get me through the week at college! (not that i'm complaining.. Gingerbread is my weakness)

Have a wonderful week!

January Favourites

Hello,

Here are the products iv been literally in love with and haven't been able to put them down over the whole of January!

Hair and Skin Products!

Lush - Angels On Bare Skin

ShearBeauty Salon - Argan Secret Shampoo & Conditioner

ShearBeauty Salon - L'Oreal Expert Chroma Care in 3 Gold

Debenhams - Origins Make A Difference Plus+

Recently, I'v been Loving Angels On Bare Skin by Lush, I'v been using it every other day on my face at night and iv seen a very noticeable difference, My skin is a lot less red and my skin tone has evened up in a lot of places too. After using this I use Origins Make A Difference Plus+ its pricey, But worth it! i use it under makeup too as a primer because it makes your skin SO soft and smooth &as iv been suffering from terribly dry, sore winter skin this has treated me so well!

With my hair, Its has been extremely dry from the typical British weather, and this Argan Oil shampoo and conditioner is incredible, but really hard to find as its not available in Drug Stores but it leaves your hair smelling gorgeous & silky soft! I use this along side the L'Oreal Chroma Care (using this before conditioner, after shampoo) which claims to refresh your colour treated hair, I'v been using this through January and iv noticed a great difference in the vibrancy of my hair colour and it's looking much healthier!

Make-up

Make-Up Forever - HD Foundation

Too Faced - Natural Eye Palette

MaxFactor - Clump Defy Mascara

Revlon - Liquid Eyeline Pen

Lancome - Lipstick in 101 L'Absolu Nu

Carmex

Iv been loving Make-Up Forever HD foundation during January as its abit thicker than my other foudations giving me better coverage for my blemish prone winter skin. Iv also been using the Too Faced Palette a lot during January as the colour are really warm which I like, im also a massive fan of natural eye shadows anyway! :) the MaxFactor clump defy mascara is brilliant, and iv been using it everyday since I got it! (Review coming soon!) & the black eyeliner lasts all day and the colour is so strong, which I love.

With lip products I'v been using Carmex a lot which works wonders with smoothing my lips and the Lancome lipstick is beautiful, its a subtle pink with a small amount of shimmer and have been using it so much recently!

Earrings

Republic - Earrings

These are my favouritest earrings EVER! My signature look are my earrings.. The biggest, and prettiest earrings you can find! &once I saw these I HAD to have them!

Iv always worn massive earrings so my ears are very use to heavy earrings and don't irritate them so I mange to get away with them (result!!) &i think these earrings are just perfect :)

Perfume

I've been using this perfume a lot throughout January almost everyday at college &its smells gorgeous!

It's a very unique blend of liquorice and vanilla while you get very light notes of sweet apple. I've never smelt anything like this perfume before and its an extremely sexy, feminine scent! I also love the glass purple, heart-shaped bottle of this perfume as its so girly and classy!

Hope you like the post!

Monday Portrait Week #1

Top - Asos | Cardigan - American Apparel | Faux Fur Collar - H&M (sale) | Earrings - Odie & Fleur

001. So, this is my very first Monday Portrait, Iv seen so many Sunday Portraits floating around blog world I thought i'd mix things up abit and start a Monday Portrait as its the beginning of a brand new week! So far, this week hasn't been very promising 'weather-wise' my UK viewers would be aware as you simply cannot miss the rain pouring down outside, along with random crashes of thunder.

002. I'd also like to apologize for not being on top blogging form recently, as it was my birthday last week iv been meeting up with old friends from my old school, college work at the moment has been totally crazy, &of course, the old winter colds/flu has been attacking me recently resulting in me not being too well, and sleeping for most of the day :(

003. As iv been feeling slightly 'down in the dumps' iv been drinking loads of tea, and recently I'v become in love with Twinings Assam Tea :) &, of course, when your ill you crave nothing but a bath, so iv been using up my Soap & Glory products.. which I never realized how amazing they are.. -I think its the 'Soap&Glory smell' that gets me! :) & I'v been raiding the internet shops recently so im eagerly waiting for my package from Coal&Terry Vintage to come through the post, which I am SO excited about!

Have a wonderful week!

xoxo
