Recent Fashion Purchases | Getting ready for Autumn

This all wasn't purchased at the same time, it's a mix of online shopping and a few Saturday shopping days with my momma! (Our favourite thing to do!) This little post is to show you all what I've been liking..

 

I love the army trend at the moment and was randomly searching through amazon and found this bargain for around £10 so I couldn't resist. I love layering it with the hoodie I bought below!

 

American Apparel style dupe hoodie, these are everywhere at the moment, definitely would feel annoyed if I did pay the £40 for the AA ones. This one is from a local shop, but primark also do them for under £10!

 

 

Primark Acid wash skinny jeans - £13 Topshop NY tee- £18 (I'm obsessed with New York!!)

 

 

Topshop khaki tee- £16 Primark grey leggings with leather panels- £7

 

Another American apparel dupe for the disco pants from River Island- £30 (Been living in these!)

Black Maxi skirt around £5 from amazon again!

 

Legging style trousers from H&M such a bargain at £7.99 (I seem to be buying too much of this colour haha)

 

Leopard boots from Primark- £8 and Chain from H&M- £5.99 (bit overpriced but I can't find any nice chains anywhere!)

 

Let me know what your autumn buys are! Thanks for reading xoxo

207A Navigate her (I'm so sorry if you hate feet!)

Firstly I got all these polishes from Fragrance direct.co.uk for a complete bargin, £1.99 each! Normally essie polishes are around the £9 so I couldn't resist. I'm not sure if it's the combination of the base coat and the essie polish or it's the base coat alone (I'm yet to try it with any other polish brands to see) but the quality and the lasting power is amazing. Naturally my nails are weak and they peel so normally polish doesn't last a day without some sort of chipping at the end but with these I can get up to a week with perfect nails! They also dry really fast which is another bonus. I'm seriously amazed at this brand, definately check out the website!

Let me know if you've tried essie and experienced the same results! Thanks for reading xoxo



Nivea Effective Cleansing Gel | Can't Get enough of it!

A couple of months in and I've around 1/4 left. I bought this on a whim on a random shop in Superdrug, it was on sale for £1.99 and literally just sucked me in. I honestly expected it to break me out or not to like it and for it to take comfort unfortunately at the back of my cupboard like a lot of unwanted products.

 

But low and behold, I love this product, firstly I have to say it is only going to be suited to people who have combination to oily skin because it is an oil free gel cleanser which means it doesn't have any moisturising qualities. I only use this at night because I have a separate day time routine (not that you couldn't use it) and it leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean, the perfect feeling for going to bed. It hasn't broke me out and I can use it around my eyes to take my eye makeup off (it doesn't sting me).

Flake Away & Sparkling Lemon Verbena | My Body Loves!

My body loves these. I also love these a lot.

 

Sparkling Lemon Verbena Body Cream (£3 from Marks & Spencer)

Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Polish (£8 from Boots)

 



I know this product has been doing it's rounds on the blogsphere at the moment but there is really a reason for it. I use it about one to two times a week depending on how much fake tan I'm using or how much pampering I'm in the mood for. The scrub is oil based so it's really moisturising and I haven't had any problems putting tan on a couple of hours after using it. I've also noticed a really lovely improvement to my tan after this, much more natural looking and no streaks! Also I think it's really good value for money, a little goes a long way.

 

I was so shocked at the price of this body cream, I am seriously going back to buy more, there's a coconut one that I had my eye on too. But if you love lemon cheesecake you will love this. It's gorgeous and silky, absorbs in really quickly which is perfect for everyday. But really the smell is just amazing, I really do think it rivals a lot of high end creams. But this is definitely not like the body shops' butters which is what I initially thought but more like a souffle cream texture, equally as nice.

 

Thanks for reading, please let me know of any products you love or if you've tried these and your thoughts :)

A lot of glosses and one conditioner!

 

I never used to be one for lipglosses but I've really taken to them recently. Suddenly I've accumulated a lot, (out of nowhere, there seems to be about 5 in every handbag haha) and these are some of my favourites!

 



Mac lip conditioner fuchsia fix Spf  15

This is a bit of an odd one out but I thought I'd stick it in this post anyways because it a lip product and it is glossy but its definitely a conditioning product. I absolutely love this, smells amazing like cupcakes and gives off a nice pink tint.

 

 Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglosses- shine city, coral reef, lilac pastel

I absolutely love these glosses, they are not sticky at all, more of a smooth texture which I love! I can't stand sticky glosses! They also nicely pigmented!

 

 Illamasqua Sheer Gloss

This is the perfect gloss to go over a red lip!

 



 YSL gloss

Perfect applicator, i love the brush. It's gorgeous with the glitter and it's not chunky on your lips.

 Benefit Life on the A list

My perfect most comfortable Nude lipgloss

 

 Elf mineral Lip gloss in Pageant Princess

Lovely everyday gloss and quite a cheapy! I love ELF!
