November Favourites

Hello my lovelies and welcome to blog for another post! I realise I've been posting a lot lately, but I've been really motivate to write and there's loads I want to share with you do I'm making the 
most of it.
So getting into the actual theme of the blog! I can't believe another month has passed and almost another year!
I've tried and loved a few things this month ad thought I would share some of my favourites with you!!:) so with outs further a due lets get straight in to it. 
One of my absolute favourites at the moment is the maybeline gel liner in black! This is an all time favourite of mine but I thought it definitely deserved a little shout out! I've been using the gel line for well over a year now and have almost taken it for granted until I decided to give it a break and realised I just couldn't go with out it! It's AMAZING and this little guy does not receive nearly as much credit as it deserves. I can not say enough good things about it. It's definitely the easiest eye liner to apply and it so way to customise the line to exactly how you want it. I find that some eye liners they are either fine or not and it's hard to get an in between. It's also so smooth to apply and is jet black. It looks absolutely flawless:) definitely check here if you want to check it out.

So my next favourite is the lasting finish colour rush crayons by rimmel London I did mention these in my rimmel vs clinique blog if you haven't seen that click here, but the more I use them the more I fall in love with them I have the colours 600 on fire which is a stunning coral colour and I also have the colour 220 rumor has it which is my favourite it's a stunning berry colour you can build it up for a really intense colour or if you wear it light handed it's a lovely pink berry colour! I think they have about 6 or 7 different colours out and I think this weekend I'm going I go back and purchase the rest, because I just love them. They're again so easy to apply with a smooth finish! I have really dry lips and find that most lip sticks sink into the cracks looking horrible!:( but these are actually really hydrating AND if that wasn't enough the colour lasts all day!!! AMAZING 
 I've also been loving coconut oil this month! My mum bought me a pot of it and I honestly didn't know what to use it for so after doing some blog searching;) I began using it pretty much everywhere! I use it to moisturise my legs which are unfortunately really dry? I sometimes use it to remove eye makeup, and lately I've been using it on my hair! I refuse to cut my hair and have a few split ends here and there but the cold English weather has definitely had an effect on it as the ends especially are so dry and actually quite straw like! So I've been taking a bit of cocunut oil letting it melt in the palm of my hand and putting it in the ends of my hair, getting my beauty sleep an washing it in the morning, this has been working a treat:) (if you have any more home remedies to fix my dry/split ends please comment below) 
 
I've also been loving the No7 cleansing water which again I've been using to death, I've been using it to remove my makeup(even eye makeup) as it seems to just dissolve my makeup and in days that I'm not wearing any makeup (trust me those days exist) or in the mornings I've just been applying it to my face with a cotton pad I will admit I've not noticed any drastic changes to my skin, but it does leave it feeling lovely and fresh! Wahaaaay we like that feeling!
Lastly but not least of course I'm going to through in two things which aren't beauty related, but I've still been loving this month, one of which is candles and fairy lights! I love having the lights off the candles burning and my fairy lights on it just makes me feel so warm and cosy:) one of my favourite scents is orchid and sweet cocunut! But Yankee candle have a new wood wick collection which I cannot wait to try! 
So those are all of my favourites. Leave me a comment down below if your done a favourites blo so I can check it out.

Clinique V Rimmel London

Clinique V Rimmel London




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:)

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
