Confidence - An everyday FOTD

Oh hey guys!

So it's been a while and that is due to a few factors such as university deadlines, zero influence and most importantly my health. Don't get me wrong after the last personal blog post going down well I was back to feeling like a super happy lady with some kind of an influence. However after that I just had a roller coaster of ups and downs with my depression or my DS's (depressive symptoms) and even as I'm typing this now I haven't quite got back to my "normal" self. However I feel like I am letting a lot of people and readers down and theres nothing worse than giving up something you love to try and stop the storm of your life. 

So this post if you haven't guessed it is another FOTD, I noticed that this one of my top ten popular posts so I thought I would appease the readers and do another one. There are definitely new products in this from the previous one so theres an excuse in itself. With my on going struggles with DS's there are far and few times I feel pretty and confidence and therefore on this rare day I thought why not take some photographs to make it into a blog post. So here goes....






 Starting off with the base I used a prep spray to give myself a good starting point, next I used to light to medium coverage BB cream that I have been loving for days where you don't want to completely cake your face. Following this was my favourite concealer for under the eyes as well as to cover the horrendous spots and blemishes scattered around my face.



As you can see I did not go crazy insane for my eyes, I just used a matt beige shade on the lid of my eyes and used a light brown in my crease as a transition colour. As for my mascara I have been using a sample of UD Perversion which I have been loving as I didn't realise how short my eyelashes actually are! Recently Eyebrow pencils have been my go to thing the one problem I found with this one is that the wax end of it always breaks (just me?). 

Since this is a super quick look and not a heavy impact look I used a random bronzer to add some definition to my face but did not use a contour kit as I usually would. My favourite product of this FOTD? Sleek Matte Me lipgloss in Birthday Suit, it is a gorgeous nude that is easy to pull off and is a great price. 

I also took this day to wear a brand new off the shoulder top I recently bought at New Look for under £15 and as the sun was out it was a perfect opportunity! 

As you can see a simple everyday quick make up look that doesn't look to shabby (ignore my eyebrows they were waxed the next day!) I hope you guys enjoyed.

OOTD: Bipolar Weather!

Oh hey guys!

So yesterday's weather was mad! When I got out the door it was cloudy and cold so I shoved on my fluffy pink Primark Jumper and Chunky New Look boots. By the time I was coming back home some half an hour later I was all sticky and hot. Not a pleasant feeling!

This is just a simple outfit of the day (I changed when I came home as it was hot and this is it).




So I have been wanting to wear this gorgeous Black and White Kimono from Matalan for a while now and I figured since it was suppose to reach highs of 20 degrees yesterday it was the perfect time. I managed to snag it in the sale a few months ago for around £12 so I am so happy I could finally wear it. I teamed it with a Boohoo white cropped tshirt that is inexpensive at £4 and a bargain pair of Shaper jeans from New Look (again in a sale at a tenner!)

This outfit is without a doubt a bargain outfit, under £30!





I kept my makeup fairly natural and neutral, if you want to see a makeup tutorial just let me know! 


Thats all for now!

Mini Boohoo Haul FT. Outfit Ideas


Oh Hey!


So recently I was browsing the Boohoo website, as you do, and I came across this snazzy shift dress at a bargain £5 (apparently it has increased in price since the time I bought it). What did I do you ask? BUY IT! (and maybe a clutch to go with it... oops). Here's a few outfit ideas I put together with the dress and clutch.

So for a more dressy look I paired the dress and clutch with a pair of suede flatforms from Primark (a bargain at £12) you could also add a statement necklace if you feel particularly brave or just add red lips.


For a much more casual look I paired the dress and clutch with my pair of high top white converses (excuse the fact that they look grey, they may need washing). You could pair it with tights and a loose fitted blazer for a more slouchy appearance.


For the final look a more rock chick look I paired the dress and clutch with my heeled boots from New Look to give it a more edgy look. You could also pair it with a leather jacket and tights and backcombed hair.


Sorry about how short this post is, thought I'd quickly make it before work.
