AUTUMN | FOOTWEAR

I love this time of year, to be fair I do love every season, purely because with each season becomes new seasonal wear. I picked up these boots from Peackocks which is so rare for me as I never go into this shop, but I thought why not have a browse. These shoes just scream Zara to me! Look at the similarity and for almost half the price, you can not complain! I paid £24.00 for these and I am so happy with them, so if you're in love with them, go snap them up!

As for wear, they are so comfortable and I went shooting the other week and I was standing for hours all day, did not cause my feet to ache. Not to forget to mention they look beautiful with anything and everything you wear.

LUSH | Purchases

Lush, let's be honest when you walk in there you either love it or hate it. I do love it though, the strong scents do not give me a headache and I want to look at every cute bath bomb they have made! But I have never purchased their skincare items, just the bath bombs. SO I thought why not? I'll drag my boyfriend in there and have a browse and snatch some items.

...I only got two to try, didn't want to buy a lot just incase I didn't get on with them. The first product is;

Celestial Facial Moisturiser 

"Help troubled, dry skin become angelic by smoothing this light cream on your face daily. It's made of skin-soothing ingredients that form a light barrier on the skin to help it retain its moisture. Almonds are high in vitamin E, which is said to help protect skin from damage, while dove orchids condition and soothe."

I've been using both products for a week now, and this moisturiser is everything that they have mentioned above. I have combination skin, its oily on the T-Zone but I still suffer with dry patches and amazingly this product creates both opposites to be a balanced match!

Tea Tree Water

"Keep skin clear and refreshed. Tea tree is antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial, so can help keep away the bacteria that can cause spots. Grapefruit is rich in vitamins and is also lightly astringent on the skin, whilst juniperberry is antiseptic and helps keep skin clean and clear. Use any time of day to keep skin refreshed, or to remove traces of makeup or cleanser."

 This is perfect if you have acne or if you suffer from the odd few spots. I tend to only get the few are my chin but I have been spraying this before my make up and it leaves my skin feels so fresh! I definitely want to look at more of this range as it is rich in vitamins and it is antibacterial!

September | FAVOURITES

September is already so close to coming to it's end and I can't believe it. It's also almost been a week since I was in Spain... and this year has gone so fast and I have been blogging for 9 months already and I've come such a long way, which I thank all of you. So back to the topic of my September favourites...

Barry M Speedy Quick Dry - Kiss Me Quick
I absolutely despise painting my nails. I'm quite an impatient person and I'm not one to wait around just for my nails to dry, however this nail polish is great if you don't like wasting time. It does dry very quickly and I only need to apply 2 coats! As for the colour, it is a baby pink but you simply can't go wrong with that. At the moment I'm having Shelac on my nails so this polish is just for my toe, but I've been reapplying it consistently this month so far!

Elizabeth Arden Mascara - Double Density
My favourite make up product has to be mascara, I love having long eyelashes with volume but that it quite hard to find in a mascara. But I think I have found my match with this one. You can layer and layer this mascara and it doesn't clump up on your lashes and the volume it gives is amazing. As for lengthening that also does such a good job. Lately I have been looking into lash extensions and I'd really appreciate your opinions on those!

Rimmel London Kate Moss - 45
If you're looking for a natural nude lip - this is the one. I am a huge fan of Rimmel London's lipsticks as they are so pigmented and creamy too, not to forget the huge variety of shades they have. I have been wearing this almost every day so far as it compliments every look.

Soap & Glory Liquid Eye Liner - Supercat
Normally I reach for my gel eye liner but this has me converted. I normally never opt for a pen like, liquid formula eye liner, but I've read nothing but good reviews on this product and as it doesn't break the bank I thought why not. I'm pleased that I did exactly that as I haven't gone back. It's pigmented, it lasts all day, easy to use and you actually don't end disappointed when you go to use it for the 100th time as it still hasn't dried out.

DUO Eyelash Adhesive 
Like I said, I love long eyelashes, therefore I love false lashes. I've just been using the glue that comes with the false lashes but it is pretty poor as I really don't like the fact that I have to reapply my eyelashes later on in the day. Again this was a purchase based on the reviews and I am so pleased. This will last me such a long time.

Holiday | BLANES

B L A N E S 

So I have recently just came back from a place that was filled with tranquility. Honestly, I'd move out there tomorrow but I of course would miss typical British traits. Me and my boyfriend stayed there for a week, and the weather was great besides one day in which it rained so much there was warnings of floods, but it was cool... we chilled in the spa which left our skin feeling amazing! I did hope to go to the Salvador Dali museum as I'm a huge fan, however as I didn't prebook because I didn't know I really had to, it was 3 hours away and it was either a 3 hour bus journey or a short but very expensive taxi journey. I plan on going back next year and for definite I will be visiting the surreal world of Dali. I had the richest hot chocolate, to say it was a drink seemed wrong to me considering it was so thick, I had to slurp on a spoon - haha. Attached are a few images and I really recommend visiting what Blanes has to offer.
