RECENT FAVOURITES

Hello!

Sorry for the late upload today, I've been sorting out my room and going a bit mad with cleaning products and the hoover. At some point I plan to take photos of my room for a Room Tour, but I need to paint a few things first before I show you all.

Anyway, recently I've found quite a few products/items I have enjoyed using, so I thought I'd express my love for them today.

1. Kyle Minogue Perfume "Showtime."

 The first product I have been loving is this perfume by Kyle Minogue called Showtime. The scent of this is so sweet, but with a hint of floral to it-it's hard to describe but I really do love the smell. I've had this for quite a long time, but only really started using it recently! An odd thing that I love is the packaging of the perfume, sometimes you get really plain bottles, but this one is really cute and girly, and also goes with my room-bonus!

2. Rimmel London Blusher in Pink Rose 020.

 I've been using this for about 2 months now, but I'm really getting into it, and I've recently realised how nice it makes my cheeks look compared to other blushers I have. The small hint of shimmer adds a nice highlight to my cheeks, and transfers a super pretty pink/peach colour on my face, which I also vaguely dust on my nose, and forehead to make it look a bit more natural. Anyway, this blusher stays on and lasts for ages, and I haven't even hit pan yet.

3. Pearl Drops Toothpaste/polish.

 Weird thing to put in a favourites post, I know, but this toothpaste/polish is honestly the best whitening paste I've ever used. After 1 brush I already see results compared to other whitening toothpastes, and this toothpaste is also relatively cheaper than others which is a bonus. According to the toothpaste, it uses "Pearlite" to whiten the teeth, I have no idea what that is but it sounds rather odd. Also, the tube may look small, but it does last quite a long time, however not as long as a Colgate tube for example, but this doesn't bother me.

4. The Fault In Our Stars book by John Green.

 I'm possibly the person you would least expect to find a book in a favourites list, however John Green has cracked me and I was reluctant to include this book. I'm not going to go too far into detail, because I don't want to ruin it for others, but in short it's about a girl called Hazel who has tumor cancer (I think), but meets an exceptionally gorgeous person called Augustus Waters who changes her life. I'm not too far into the book, but whenever I have the oppurtinity I end up reading it which is very unlike me! If you haven't heard of John Green, he writes award winning novels, including this one, which I strongly suggest you read.

5. Baby Lips in Cherry Me.

 Recently, I've done a post on the Baby Lips lip balms, however Cherry Me is appearing a lot on me lately. As Autumn symbolizes reddy colours, I thought wearing Cherry Me would fit in with the season, so I wore it for a few days and now I can't stop putting it on! I carry this with me in my school bag because it's a handy size, and I don't get told off for wearing it which is good, however when applying this in lessons I do get a few odd looks, oops.

6. Fifa 14 App.

 Oh dear Zoe. I've really let myself go this time, I have found a new love called Fifa 14. We only met a few days ago, but we've been interacting ever since, and can't seem to put eachother down! Fifa 14 has never been my cup of tea, but after finding this app I am well and truly addicted. I've always loved football, but I love the idea of creating your own team, playing against other people around the world, and playing real matches which is what this app grants. My friend Charlotte and I were on facetime for 7 hours on Saturday 5th October playing Fifa 14 constantly, that's how bad my addiction has got...help!

7. L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil

 The last product is a fairly new product released by L'Oreal, and I'm warning you, it's a gift from the hair god's. My hair has quite a lot of split ends, and is also very brittle, but this oil reduces the appearance and feel of the brittleness, and split ends which constantly loom on my hair. All you need is 2 small drops of the oil as it goes a long way, then rub the oil onto the ends of your hair. I use this almost everyday, and it leaves fabulous, noticeable results! If you have hair like mine, then purchase this because it really helps, however it is around £9-£10.

What products are you loving?

OOTD #1

Hello!

I thought I'd start doing something a bit different, and show you my outfit of the day a few times. However, I'd only do this when I feel I'm wearing something that looks nice together- nothing slob-ish looking, and today I thought I'd show you what I'm wearing.

Top: On my top half, I've opted for a simple, black, flowing crop top, and obviously as it's Autumn, just wearing that wasn't enough so I added in a blouse. This blouse is mint green, and adds a sweet, subtle colour to the outfit, however you can style the blouse tucked in, or out. Personally, I prefer it tucked in because otherwise it looks quite long on me-almost drowning, but either way works fine. Also, the shirt can be done up and styled completely different, but I don't think that style suits me.

 Accessories: As the outfit is pretty much block coloured items, and nothing patterned, I thought I'd add a big necklace to add more detail, and a different texture to the outfit. In the picture you can't see my ears, but I do have some vintage gold/pearl earrings in to match the necklace.

Bottom: On my legs I'm wearing some blue, denim jeans, but these jeans aren't made of denim, they're a stretchy cotton with a light blue finish. As it's getting colder, I thought jeans would be more appropriate for the weather, but funnily enough today wasn't too cold so I probably could've got away with shorts, however I felt jeans went best with the top.

Feet: Before I start, please excuse how dirty my 'white' Converse are. I thought converse would go best with this outfit because they're comfy; easy to put on, and have only 1 feature colour to match the outfit. I don't have the best feet around, and certainly not wearing socks with trainers wouldn't do them any good, so I added black frilly socks to keep my feet protected, but still look stylish.

Most of the items I'm wearing you probably would've seen in my new collective haul, however if you want any details on where things are from, prices etc, leave a comment below!

thanks to my mum for taking these photos ;]

KATE MOSS LIPSTICKS

Hello!

Recently a lipstick brand by Kate Moss has been released for Rimmel London, and I honestly love the lipsticks so much, and today I shall explain to you why. 

 After hearing so many people rave about these lipsticks, I thought I'd join in with the crowd and buy one (or 2). Originally, I got the lipstick in 101 because it was just a soft pink colour, so I could try it out and see if I liked the feel of the lipstick-which I did, so I then went out and got another one in 16 which is more of a brighter/peach pink. The 101 one is from her matte range, and my 16 one is from the Spring collection, all the collections differ from reds, to pinks, to peaches, browns, and oranges which is a very good variety. 

 Firstly, I really love the smell of the lipsticks. I know this is a weird thing to notice, but they smell so juicy and sweet, I can't really describe the smell but it's just so delicious whatever it is! All the lipsticks smell the same, no particular smell for a particular colour, but the lipsticks don't taste as good as they smell so don't eat them. (did I say smell enough times?)

 Something that caught my eye the most about these is the packaging, I really like the simplicity of the outside, but then her signature added onto it adds that cute personal touch, especially as it's her signature making the tube look like Kate Moss herself has signed every tube. Also, these lipsticks are such good value for money at only £5.49, you get alot in the tube, and the lipsticks in general are just great. 

The Kate Moss lipsticks are also very moisturizing, and easy to apply. Sometimes, I find lipsticks quite sticky to put on-whether this is because I don't put enough lip balm on before or something I don't know, but these don't require lip balm before applying. However, if you suffer with insanely dry lips all year round, I suggest using a lip balm to prevent any cracks or odd dry patches on your lips.

Finally, there is also the option of lining your lips before applying these with a lighter or darker shade of pink to slightly change the tone of the lipstick. If I was to wear 16 for a formal night out, I would use a red/pink lip liner to tone down the brightness and make the lipstick appear more sophisticated, and if I was to wear 101 for a Summer look, I'd use a slightly brighter/peach pink lip liner to create a soft, Summery tone.

If you don't own a Kate Moss lipstick, I definitely think you should go out and buy one to try, whether it be an autumn red, or a bright pink, all the lipsticks are worth a buy!

Do you have any Kate Moss lipsticks, if so, what shade?
