Clinique chubby stick in the colour mighty mimosa

So the Clinique Chubby sticks have been around for a while now and I always eye them up, but at £17 each I always think about it twice, but I had to be true to myself and give my heart what it wants;) so I purchased a Clinique Chubby stick in the colour Mighty mimosa which looks like a very beautiful and wearable pink colour. Clinique never dissapoint with their packaging and making you feel like you have a special product, but on this occassion I'm unfortunately not impressed with Clinque and it really makes me sad to say it, but I have found a dupe to the Clinique chubby sticks. The dupe i find is a lot more pigmented, lasts a lot longer and on the MASSIVE plus side its about £10 cheaper.

So I found the clinique chubby stick very moisturising and keeps my lips feeling amazing for ages which I love, because I do have really dry lips and I find it difficult to find lipsticks that look great on my lips as most of the just dry my lips up and sinks into the cracks (yummy right). But if I'm quite honest the moisture is pretty much the only good thing I found about the chubby sticks:( I firstly noticed that it isn't very pigmented at all, it's very sheer and you can hardly see it. It is also very glittery which I am not a huge fan of. I generally just wasn't impressed with the colour pay off. Being clinique it's obviously not a BAD product and I will still wear it for day to day use, but I was expecting more from it and I think it is deffinitely not worth the price.

Lasting finish colour rush in the
colour 220 Rumour has it

So after my little moan about the chubby stick don't feel disheartened, it doesn't mean you cant have a lip crayon in fact you can have one which in my opinion is much better and big thumbs up that it's a hell of a lot cheaper and it's the lasting finish colour rush in the colour 220 Rumour has it which is a gorgeous dark pink. This colour is HIGHLY pigmented and it will literally last you all day, I reapplied it during the day once or twice to keep it looking sharp and crisp, but even if you didn't the colour would still last, in fact I swatched it on my hand and had trouble getting it off;/ hehe.

Theses two things are really the highlights of the product (the colour pay off, and how long it lasts, just in case you didn't catch that in between my ramble), but also the fact that it only costs £7 is amazing and I can assure you that I will be going back in to the drugstore and purchasing some more:)

Graze box

Graze box

Hello my lovelies I hope your all enjoying the lovely cold, or if you're in a warmer part of the world the lovely sun (you lucky sods;) So this month I subscribed to something new which I'm really excited about and wanted to share with all of you: Graze box. I'm sure many of you have heard of Graze box, but if you haven't let me tell you a bit about it.

So graze box is something you subscribe to either once a month, once a fortnight or every week (I chose once a fortnight.) and it's a box containing four snacks which get posted in a very nice nature loving box through your letter box. It's small enough to fit through your letter box so you don't need to be at home.
So this might sound a bit boring, but on their website you can see over 100 of their amazing and delicious snacks, but there's more, all of these snacks are "healthier" options. Your graze box is made just for you as on their website you can say what things you like, love, want to try, want them to send you soon or things you want to bin so that they'll never send them to you. I binned the wasabi nut mix because I am NOT KEEN hehe. You never know exactly what you will get although if you click send soon on one of their snacks your most likely to get it in your not box. 
So what can you expect? They have everything from brownies, microwaveable popcorn, beef jerky and nut mixtures. 
The best thing about graze box is that it's super affordable at just £3.89 and although it's a subscription you can cancel at any time which is great.
So if you want to try graze box but you don't want to start paying in case you don't like it. I HAVE GREAT NEWS FOR YOU!!! You can order your first graze box completely free no catch.

Autumn/winter essentials - trousers

Autumn/winter essentials - Trousers

Hello my lovelies so winter is here Autumn is definitely arrived in the UK and it is not my favourite season lets say, my Latin blood definitely prefers the het and in terms of fashion I much prefer lace dresses, feminine shorts and beautiful sandals, but that is not an option when it's 3 degrees outside:( I also find that in the cold months I almost lose my sense of style as I'm just drowned under layers of tops, cardigans, jumpers and to to pot off a huge coat, but this year I though I a going to be different. I am going to embrace the Autumn fashion and I am loving it! I thought I needed some inspiration so I jumped straight on to YouTube and started watching some of my favourite youtubers/ beauty gurus and inspiration is just what I found! There are loads of autumn videos out there at the moments from hauls to one of my personal favourite: look books" Zoe or Zoella has filmed a particularly fabulous autumn look book which I really recommend watching. If you don't know who Zoe is then you've obviously been living under a rock, but don't worry just Click here to watch her autumn look book and prepare to fall in love.

 So I thought to really embrace the Autumn fashion I will write a series of blogs of my autumn essentials. In each blog of this series I will concentrate on a beauty staple be it fashion or more makeup related which I am loving for this season. So let's get started In this blog I am concentrating on trousers.

I look which I am loving for the Autumn is one which has gone In and out of trend over the last couple of years and that is leggings! A few years ago it felt like the whole nation was obsessed with leggings everyone and there mothers sister's aunty's friend was was wearing them. This was until we finally looked in the mirror and turned around WOW yupe your thighs have been have displayed this whole time(and every other wobbly bit.) I have rarely worn leggings since as I suddenly found the most unflattering things you could decide to put on your legs! This Autumn however I feel that leggings are back on trend and thank goodness they're much thicker and generally better quality, so no more see through material.

There have been some styles in particular that I am loving and thought I would share with you. 

This style on the left is definitely one of my favourites and that is the leather style leggings, which I would have never dreamed of wearing, but here I am sat in them and I absolutely I love them. These particular one are from Zara online which you can Click here to see and they cost £29.99. I feel that Zara do some of the best leggings and skinny trousers. I appreciate that £30 may be a tad on the pricey side for a pair of leggings, but trust me if you can invest in some of these then you won't regret it and they will last you a life time. I love wearing them with baggy tops or loose fitting jumpers and they look great with a pair of vans trainers or ankle boots. They're also perfect they dress down casually and even a bit grudge or dress up with a pair of ankle heels. So this is one example of leggings/treggings that I am LOVING, but that's not it there are so many styles of leggings which are right on trend I also loving the pixie pants or at least the style. You probably know genuine pixie pants are ridiculously expensive but luckily there are some amazing look a likes or dupes. Again I think Zara do the best quality, but there are other options such as Next or Asos which have some  amazing clothes in store or for those of you who haven't got access to these shops they do international shipping. (Great news, but dangerous for our bank account) 

So here on you're right is another one of my autumn essentials in the trousers department and that is statement jeans or trousers. Really this has been on trend through the summer too but obviously the colours have darkened and personally I love it! It. Is one of my signature looks. Don't worry this pair is still in shops and again they are from Zara for £29.99. I know I'm obsessed with Zara at the moment right haha. Don't worry though there are other lovely ones about. One of my favourites is the famous Ted Baker oil paint trousers they're a more expensive £119 ute they are stunning and trust will last you a life time, but if your more a high street kinda gal don't worry there are some fab ones in Oasis, Asos and even Primark. I'm loving this look I think it's quite obvious that it's usually worn with a plain top or jumper although celebs have been seen wearing  the Ted Baker trousers with matching top, but foe me it's just a bit too much .
I'm loving mixing up with different types of trousers and leggings and can't wait to try some new looks out. I hope this has given you some inspiration for some stunning autumn looks. I also hope you've enjoyed this blog post and this will hopefully be the first of an exciting series.
Thanks for reading my lovelies
