Spring Staple // Knitted Kimono

Hey,

So today I just thought that I'd show you an item I recently bought and have been LOVING!

So this kimono was from New Look & I really enjoy wearing it! I'll leave a link at the bottom of the page for any of you that are interested :)

This is perfect for summer - it's nice and warm, but a lovely neutral shade and as it's cream, it's pretty easy to throw on over any outfit. It's a lovely cover up for those windy days. The material is also really lovely.

 

I absolutely love kimonos as it is, but this one just definitely adds an elegant and floaty edge to an outfit when needed. It is also very warm against those cold British winds and perfect for the bipolar English weather!

 

I hope you enjoyed my rambling about my favourite spring staple - let me know yours in the comments. Also let me know if you'd like me to do a kimono collection in a future post.

Hope you all have a lovely week,

 

 

Fresh Faced // Spring

I recently purchased a few goodies, some of which I mentioned in my previous post and I thought I'd try a light make up look with them. I wear this look for school or if I want to pop out of the house for something and just want some coverage.

The BB cream is the main part of this and this gives you a good light coverage without causing your make up to look too heavy on your face.

Products used:

Maybelline Baby Skin Primer

Real Techniques Concealer Brush

Real Techniques Make Up Sponge

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

Maybelline BB Cream

Seventeen 'volumise' Mascara

Natural Collection Lipgloss in 'Caramel Shortcake'

The finished look looks like this! The lighting was quite bright, hence why I look so pale, so sorry for that.

All these products are fairly cheap and affordable, and this look is very versatile, so easy to wear anywhere. The BB cream makes your skin look smooth and gives good coverage, but isn't too heavy.

I hope you enjoyed this style of blog post,

Make Up Splurge

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd share my latest beauty haul with you. I call it a 'splurge' in the title as I didn't realise how much I'd spent until I paid and got a bit carried away - oops!

1) Natural Collection Foundation in the shade 'porclain' - £1.99

2) Rimmel Nude Lasting Perfection in the shade 'Ivory' (I blend these two foundations together to make my perfect shade as I have an awkward skin tone!) - £8.99

4) Maybelline BB Cream - shade 'light' - £6.99

5) Maybelline Cream Blusher - shade 'berry' - £6.49

Have a nice week :)
