J A N U A R Y - L O V E S

Hi guys, I can't believe how quickly January whizzed by, we're already in the second month of 2014, that is crazy! Like always there's been a few things I loved through January so here we go! 

♥ Soap & Glory - The Righteous Butter 

 I am a massive sucker for a good body butter, they're my favorite type of all over body moisturizers but this one has been a massive favorite of January! I've really been getting into a lot of Soap & Glory products this month because I received a lot of their products for Christmas but this one is one of my favorites. I put it all over my body after a shower, before getting into bed and it makes my body so smooth and silky. I've noticed that my legs are looking a lot more shinier after using this, a plus is that it smells delicious just like all Soap & Glory products do.

♥ Estee Lauder Signature Lipstick ♥ 

This lipstick has been my all time favourite lipstick for ever, the only sad thing is I'm pretty sure they've discontinued this colour! It's such a beautiful shade between a nude and a light brown colour with orange tones through it, I think it really compliments my skin color too. My favourite thing about it though has to be the packaging I think its looks so classy and I can imagine it on an old fashioned white dressing table. 


♥ Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner 

I've basically neglected this eyeliner since purchasing my L'Oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim however I went back to this eyeliner this month and I'm loving it all over again, I do love my felt tip style liners but I notice they dry out quickly unlike this gel eyeliner which will last me a lot longer than my felt tip liners, I do find the gel liner is much more tricky to use and create the line but with patience I can create a perfect winged eyeliner just like I can with my felt tip liner. 

♥ Sleek Pallet - Au Naturel ♥ 
I'm not a massive lover of eye shadows to be perfectly honest I like to stick to my boring eyeliner and mascara combo, however when I go out sometimes I like to make a little more effort, not much more though as I still like to stick with the more natural shadows like browns and light shimmers so this pallet is PERFECT for me because it has all the natural colours in! I think it's a great dupe for one of the naked pallets and for the price of £7.99 I think it is perfect because the colors are super pigmented and super lovely so you can't go wrong with these!



♥  L'Oreal Elive extraordinary oil  
I love this product with all my heart it works wonders on my hair. This one is for all hair types so is a versatile hair oil. I apply this on the ends of my hair because they tend to look quite dry and sparse, however once this is on they look shiny and thick. I apply this on wet hair before bed and also on dry hair in the morning and top ups during the day if my hair is starting to look a little dry and it soon works its magic. It has lasted so long too, you only need like a pea sized amount for each side of your hair. My hair has been more tame since using this product and the frizz has drastically dissapeared, I will definetly be repurchising this gem, I'd like to get my hands on some of the other ones of this too, the one for coloured hair especially.  





I hope you all had an amazing month of January considering it's suppose to be the most depressing month of the year due to Christmas blues! I hope that didn't effect people too much!

Dungaree day

♥ Hola guys, I'm loving my dungarees recently, I think they're girly however these have a more grungy feel than just your typical girly pinafore, I love them and feel I can wear them with anything, my favorite is with stripy tops and believe me my wardrobe consists of a lot of stripy tops. I am so glad I bought this pink furry cardigan because it's added a splurge of colour to my very monochrome wardrobe, I would usually have bought this in black but I thought I'd venture out in the colour department. Hope you like my OOTD ♥ 












Dungarees - Boohoo 
Top - Primark

Love ya all,

playsuit playa



♥ Nothing like a good black playsuit in my opinion, I think they look so classy and you can dress them up or down, I've dressed it up here. This would be perfect for a night out or going for a date or just a meal out with friends, I just think there is something so classy and elegant about this playsuit, I love it, I've added a kimono to brighten up the black shoes and playsuit and I love the florals mixing with the plain black 








♥ Playsuit - River Island 
♥ Kimono - Primark 
♥ Heels - Primark

Snow Kissed Lips - lip faves

♥ My Favourite Lipstick Picks
Winter time 

Lipstick for me is the final touch to a face, and this winter I've been in love with a few lipsticks and been wearing them constantly.

Pretty n Pink 
This is not only been my favorite lipstick of the moment but I think it's my favorite lipstick ever, I just love everything about it from the colour to the texture and feel of it on your lips. It's Collections CremePuff Lip Cream in shade "fairycake" so essentially it's not a lip stick but everything about it is just as good as a lipstick maybe even better. It's a fab dupe for Nyx lip cream, it's a matte lip cream and the lasting power is amazing considering how moisturizing this lip cream is and because it's a matte finish. I love the shade too it's such a pretty pink, I love wearing it with pink blush, it just adds a girly touch to my outfit (which usually consists of black).

Vamp it up! 

The gothic glam look is definitely in this winter with the dark vampy lip and I have definitely been loving this trend, at first I was a bit nervous as I'm not very confident when it comes to lip colours but I just loved the look of a dark vampy lip so I had to try it out with this Collection lipstick in the shade "revenge" it's a more red vampy lipstick than purple which is what I love about it because purple dark lips do not suit me one bit. This lipstick has a really good staying powder however it does sometimes stain my lips but I can put up with that because of how nice the colour is!

Red 'N' Roll 


A good red lipstick is a classic for me, only a certain few red lipsticks suit me though, I find some can be too red for me and make me look washed out even though I don't have pale skin. I like the MUA lipsticks not only because they're cheap but they're still so good and I like to buy them before splurging on more pricey ones just to test that they suit me, but I'm super impressed with a lot of the MUA range actually especially the lipsticks because the color range is vast and they're super pigmented too and I found a red that actually suits me!

Juicy Pink

Another MUA lipstick I'm loving is this hot pink, hot pink lips are another lip color that I'm a bit iffy with however I love this shade of pink and it's made me want to venture out into more expensive lipsticks in lots of shades of pink, I think a hot pink is a nice winter lip because it can brighten up any dark wintery outfit which is the case for me a lot of the time.

Pale Girl

I wouldn't say this necessarily was a winter lip color but this is my favorite lipstick in the world and I wear it everyday and it's Natural Collections Apple Blossom and once again for only £1.99 I flipping love this lipstick, it's verging between a nude and a light pink, I just think it compliments my skin colour so well and light nude/pinky lipsticks are my absolute favorites and need to add more to my collection.

Winter Warmer


Lastly is another one of my all time favorite lipsticks, it's the Estee Lauder signature lipstick in toasted walnut. I love how warm toned this lipstick is, it's verging on a nude with orange undertones, I think it's such a pretty colour not only for winter but especially Autumn too because of how warm it is, this is another colour that I think compliments my skin and eye colour, the only sad thing is, is that I think Estee Lauder have discontinued this shade because I can't find it anywhere! If anyone knows where I can find this shade please please pretty please let me know.

So these are my favorite lipsticks of the winter months, I hope you all liked them! What are your favorite lipsticks to wear in the winter? ♥
