Autumn Clothing Picks

It's Autumn/Winter finally!!! However I really do miss the sun and my tan! Anyway as per usual I have been using all my babysiting money (which is actually a great job) and I have been buying new winter clothing!! 

I have been shopping at Primark, Newlook, h&m, topshop and lastly liquid glamour lounge! Liquid glamour lounge is were I have my nails done and they also do shopping nights and sell quality clothing! 

They sell things like gillets, capes, handbags, shoes, jewellery! And honestly there products are such good quality they have the same styles as high streets but find products that are better quality then places like topshop ect! I have a couple stuff from there including my gillet and my new cape!!! 



I have my cape which is a cream colour which is recently brought and it's perfect! I have wore it when I went out for a family meal and shopping!!! Everyone comments on it and how nice it looks! 

But they have just recently made a website where they are selling these items and I really recommend them! http://www.liquidglamourlounge.co.uk/shop-front.htm a lot of the clothing items I have purchased are on there!


Thank you for reading!!! I thought it would be nice to just talk about these unique pieces of clothing and just tell you where I get them from and it's better now because they are online! And enjoy!!

Quick hello!

Hello, yes I'm alive it's been ages I know but me and Abbie have been up to our eyeballs in work with essays for next week etc but honestly didn't think the sixth form would be like this but it is! Anyway this blog post is just been done to tell you what I have been up to! So I have been shopping because it's the only thing that makes me happy when I'm busy with work aha! 

So primark is my fav at the moment the coats there are fab literally everyone go to primark, then I managed to get a playsuit for £30 in the sale which makes me very happy and then boom got some winter boots for £35 which we actually supposed to be £149 OMG best bargain ever! 

Anyway, we will try and get more blog posts out so maybe some ootd or ootn and also I'm off to Paris with school in January so more blog posts on that!

NEW BENEFIT THEY'RE REAL PUSH UP LINER

As you can see by the title of this blog post I'm very excited to write about this new eye liner only reason being because it's amazing! I have recently purchased the new Benefit They're Real Push up liner  I have been so excited to try this but have not be able to get it anywhere not even duty free when I was on holiday but when I went out and just dropped into House Of Fraser it was there waiting for me and I had to get it! As far as eyeliner goes I love it! I have been trying all different eyeliners for a long time and they haven't been that good I mean don't get me wrong some different brands of eyeliners are just as good but this was is great and I'm not saying that I'm brilliant at applying eyeliner because I'm not it's horrible to apply but with this on it seems more easier and I will go into why later on!


When I first tried this product I was in a mess! At first I didn't read how to get it working as you have to twist the bottom to make the liner come out which was just a minor detail I forgot to read and at first (for me anyway) loads came out and I didn't expect that! At first its really fiddly and I always end up putting too much on my eye and end up with a thick line or I end up putting not enough on and end up with a thin patchy line which does not look nice! When I managed to get it right it reminded me of super glue because in seconds it was dry and I took a little bit of time to get off after as I didn't purchase the They're Real Remover which is made to remove the They're real Mascara and Eyeliner.




As you can see the tip of the eyeliner is slanted and very thin so if you wanted a harsher line you would have to really build it up a lot more but for me it's really good because I don't really like a harsh line but that's just my opinion so it makes it much easier for me as well to apply it without getting into a messy makeup situation. However because the dispenser of the eyeliner is very small and thin you can never really judge how much to twist and sometimes you end up with too much or sometimes not enough however when you get the hang off it you can get an amazing finish.


Overall I think this product is brilliant, I might have to keep practising applying it as It's a bit harder then the normal gel pot eyeliner I use from Seventeen! So if purchased I would allow yourself some time to keep applying the eyeliner to get used to it, but in the end when used to the product I think applying the eyeliner will not take long in future!

Hope you liked this post, it was mainly just to show how nice the benefit product is and what it's like to use it! There is going to be more blog post mainly focusing on school related stuff soon and I might even consider doing a look book on what to wear to sixth form or college if not given expected to wear uniforms and maybe another whats in our school bags as that last year seemed to be a popular post!

Christmas Nails ♡


If you have read any of my previous posts you will probably know that I am obsessed with painting my nails and anything that sparkles! So Christmas nails are obviously my favorite. Here are the nails I have gone for this year. I love these nails on there own or they will also look good as a base for Christmas theme nail art. 



I used the Angelica Top Coat which is not pictured but is defiantly necessary with such a bold colour because your nails will be stained if you don't use one. The red is from the Avon nailwear pro + collection and is the shade Red Bombshell and the glitter is Rimmel Rock your Colour glitter top coat which is called 002 Disco Gold. I'm not going to use a clear top coat because if there are too many layers of nail polish it will easily come off and the glitter says it is a top coat anyway.

Sorry it's been so long since our last post but me and  Alicia have been busy with school do now that we have broken up for 2 weeks (WOOP!) there should be more posts including some festive fashion OOTD's from me. Also hopefully I'll be getting a better camera for Christmas so I will be posting more regularly from the new year. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Primark Haul❤





YAY HAUL TIME.......... Well since I have not been shopping in ages me my mom and my grandmar and par just went for a little shop so we just went to primark and trust me I can't just pop in a see whats there I end up coming back with a big bag full of clothes!



Shoes:
So I think that primark do the best shoes ever I mean I love topshop and office shoes but sometimes when fashion keeps going in and out its better to buy cheaper then it is to go and buy expensive so on with the picture.......

£12.00

£12.00

Here are the topshop look a likes these babys where £12 and they are just black leather with a little cuban heel! I think these are the best look a likes for a pair of topshop shoes and im seriously going to be wearing these all autumn!




£12.00

Next I just brought these light brown brogue style shoe as I thought I could wear them with my thick black tights and a big cardigan ready for autumn but I could also wear them with my jeans and a nice simple top with a big knitted cardigan over the top.


Winter Wear.....
So as its winter I thought why not buy a new coat and a scarf and some gloves!? I already have my winter coat from last year which is just a topshop one but I have been admiring the green parka's and I didn't want to pay full price incase they went out of style quick so I just brought one from primark and its lovely! I can't wait to wear it when it snows! Its this dark green/ brown colour with fur around the hood (Don't worry its not real) and inside is a soft fur wool and there is leather trim all around cuffs and the pockets.



£25

£25

The next thing I purchased for school to put over my blazer when it gets cold is just a snood and the matching gloves as we can't wear coats for school so we just have to bundle up! The snood is a chunky cream knit and so are the gloves.
£4.00 Snood

£2.00


I also wanted just a normal scarf that I can wear with my jeans and my cardigans and just my coat so I was seeing on Instagram that everyone was buying these lovely thick tartan scarfs and I instantly fell in love and tartan is very in at the moment so I thought why not... So I brought that and thought I could wear it with my brogues a nice blouse and my jeans. It has a dark blue in the background and is covered with a red and a blue and green the picture really doesn't do it justice!
£4.00




Tops, Cardigans, Trousers and Belts:
So there wasn't much tops or cardigans that I like there so I just brought a few things! First I saw this lovely fluffy baby pink cardigan which looks exactly like one that my mom has from river island but I didn't want to keep wearing my moms so when I saw this I had to get it! It will look lovely with a dress as well and also with my jeans again!



£12.00

And then I just brought this pink and grey blouse as that's what people seem to be wearing at the moment and tucking it in to there jeans and wearing a brown belt and some oxford style shoes so I wanted to get one! The only size they had was an 8 so its a little big for me but I really wanted it! The blouse colour is baby pink and then goes to grey on the shoulders and the arms!




£10.00

I then saw that they had some black legging/ riding trousers and I have been looking for some of these for a long time but again I didn't wan't to pay full price for some! These are just like a black legging type trouser with a quilted pattern buy the pocket!


£6.00

£6.00

And on to the last thing I brought........ So I was looking on H&M for a nice brown and black thin belt and they were out of stock so when I was looking in primark I was trying to find one the exact same but I cam across these belts that were in a set of 2! The black belt has studs along the belt and the brown one is just plain! I thought these would go well with my jeans my brogue style shoes and my blouse tucked in!

£2.00

£2.00


 And thats it that is the end the haul! I hope you liked it and me and Abbie are very sorry that we are slow at putting blogs up we don't seem to have a minute with homework, school and trying to complete coursework! We are going to try and post more OOTD's and an Autumn lookbook?!
